Halo 5.1 Guardians of Sera chapter 17
Cole's team quickly found themselves washed up in the coast of Hanover. Wet..but alive with out there guns.
"Uh...I think you got it Baird" assured Carmine.
"*cough* *Cough* Everyone okay?" asked Buck as he took off his helmet to dry out his helmet.
"We're not dead yet" assured Tanaka.
"Hey, we walked away didn't we?" asked Baird.
"Yeah, firing all pistons baby" added Cole.
"Marcus you there? Dom..speak to me" said Cole calling in through comms but got nothing.
"Buck to 117 come in? Locke? Vale? Fred? anyone respond?" said Buck via comms.
"*cough* This is Locke *cough* go ahead Buck" replied Locke.
"Anyone else at your position?" asked Buck.
"I got 117, Fred and Vale" replied Locke.
"What about Delta?" asked Buck.
"Negative, we all just got up and we're on route" answered Locke.
"We'll regroup when we can, Buck out" said Buck.
"Head up guys, that's not search and rescue" said Carmine as he noticed a Locust convoy and Covenant Phantoms.
"We better find everybody before that freak parade does" said Cole.
The team then came across some wreckage from the ship and luckily guns.
As everyone loaded up, Locust Drones popped up from the ground.
"It's more of those Locust!" shouted Linda taking one of them out.
"Take 'em out!" said Tanaka as everyone quickly took out the Locust.
"Come on we still got surviors out there. Move it!" ordered Sam.
"Wait, I see Locke and the others!" said Kelly as Locke and the other Spartans regrouped.
"Is everybody okay?" asked Chief.
"Yeah. Did you guys find Marcus or Dom?" asked Sam.
"Negative" answered Chief.
"We should keep moving before any more Covenant show up" suggested Locke.
"Agreed, move out!" ordered Chief.
The team then saw more wreckage of Sovereign and a downed Raven.
"Poor old lady. She ain't looking too good" said Cole looking at the wreckage.
Cole then turned to see Marcus and Dom motionless.
"Looks like we found 'em" said Cole.
Chief then got Marcus to breathe.
Marcus then coughed up the water.
"Cough it up Marcus...breathe" said Chief.
"Dom...Is he okay?" asked Marcus.
"Come on Santiago...BREATHE" ordered Sam.
"*cough* *cough* Damn it...oh god" said Dom coughing up water.
"He is now" assured Sam.
"Anya? Jace? Respond, over...Come on, dammit, answere me!" shouted Marcus.
"Marcus? I'm with Jace, near the ship. I need help with Prescott, or he's not going to make it" said answered Anya via comms.
"I heard Prescott. Tell me that's just my old head injury" said Cole.
"Prescott?" asked Baird.
"What..do we got an echo here or something? Yeah, Prescott's back, Michaleson's dead, and my father's alive. Film at eleven" said Marcus.
"Anya, we're comin' to get you" added Marcus.
"There's a lot more wounded coming ashore, too, Marcus. We need someone to help out at the lifeboats. "They're beached just north of the ship" added Anya.
"You got it. Sam and Carmine are on their way" assured Marcus.
Just then as Sam and Carmine left something was coming from underground heading straight for Delta, Osiris and Blue Team. A Grenade then popped up from the ground and nearly killed them.
In the distance were some Digger Boomers.
"What the hell are those things?" asked Vale.
"Oh that...that's just The Locust" added Buck.
"Boomers!" shouted Dom.
"Or to put it more specifically that too" added Buck.
"And I though The Brutes were ugly" said Fred.
"Prepare to engage!" ordered Locke.
"Watch the ground! These Boomers have grenade launchers that travel underground and pop up as landmines" cautioned Chief and everyone quickly took care of them.
As Delta, Osiris and Blue team continued to battle their way through more Locust and Covenant on the way they saw a Locust Siege Beast.
Delta killed the crew and used the Siege Beast's catapault to take out the others in the area.
"We're clear, move out!" ordered Dom.
"Alright people let's find him. I need Prescott alive" said Marcus.
"All this going on, and we're worried about Prescott?" asked Baird.
"Prescott knows where Marcus' dad is" added Dom.
"Whoa...that's gonna be one ugly van of worms..." said Baird.
"Save your strength Baird-I'm gonna need you to recover a message for me" said Marcus.
Chief then saw some green smoke.
"Marcus over there must be Anya, by the green smoke" said Chief.
"Let's get down there" said Marcus.
As everyone got to where Anya was, She was treating Prescott's fatal wound right in his chest.
"Oh thank God, anyone got a hemostat dressing? I'm out. Dom give me a hand- press down here and hold it" said Anya as Dom pressed on Prescott's wound to try an stop the bleeding.
"You only have a few minutes, he's got one lung collapsed and his chest cavity is filling up" explained Anya.
"Can you hear me?" asked Marcus.
"I hear you, Sergeant...Where's that...chat you promised me?" asked Prescott.
"Where's my goddamn father?" asked Marcus.
"The disk...Azura" began Prescott.
"And I'm supposed to know what that is?" asked Marcus.
"No...it's a research facility. He's been working there...Queen...Myrrah captured it days ago" added Prescott.
"Goddamn you, where's Azura?" asked Marcus.
"Marcus...come on" added Anya.
"Prescott then handed Marcus an encryption device.
"Encryption" said Prescott.
"That old bastard...he'll be furious" added Prescott.
"One more thing...while I was gone...we came across something much more powerful than anything we ever faced" added Prescott.
"What? Tell me!" demanded Marcus.
"He called himself...The Warden...Eternal..." said Prescott as he died.
Just as he said Warden Eternal Osiris and Blue Team knew somehow The Prometheans were on this planet.
"He's gone" said Anya.
"Maybe there's something else in your father's message. We've got to find a data reader" added Anya.
"Who was he talking about?" asked Dom.
"Hoffman. The bastard is Hoffman.
"Spit it out" demamded Marcus.
"Look, Hoffman's been hanging on to that data disk he stole from Prescott back on Vectes. All those goddamn months I spent trying to crack the encryption for him-we still didn't have a frigging clue what was on it. Well I bet it's the data on Azura, and that unlocks it. We have to get it to Hoffman and crack that disk." explained Baird.
"But he's at Anvil Gate. That's a hell of a long journey, Marcus.
Cole then came in and said, "I hate to interrupt people but we got visitors".
