Halo 5.1 Guardians of Sera chapter 20
"Just light 'em up and keep moving before we lose the barges! That's why we're here!" said Marcus as everyone cleared the area of Locust and incoming Covenant.
"Alright Buck, clear out that barge so we can get on" ordered Marcus.
"You heard the man Spartans" said Buck as Blue/Osiris rapidly killed the Locust on board and the bodies dropped like flies.
"Never seen Locust dropping like flies like that before" said Marcus.
"It's clear, come on up here!" assured Buck.
"Let's get out of here" said Marcus.
"This is the last time I fly with a budget airline..." said Baird as he then placed the nav system and pretended he was a tour guide on the intercomm.
"Okay ladies and gentlemen, if you look over the side, you might see Anvil Gate, the lovely historic city of Anvegad...It is lovely, right?" asked Baird.
"Huh, even Sam says it's the ass-end of the world...and it's her hometown" added Dom.
"So it's got to be Myrrah holding your dad, Marcus" said Dom.
"And now she knows I'm coming for 'im" added Marcus.
"Baird, you sure this thing's still on course?" asked Dom.
"Look, I programmed the course Sam gave us. You want a coloring book or somethin'? Pencils? Look, somthin' shiny!" added Baird.
"You kids better behave. Don't make me turn this thing around" said Cole.
"Baird, how long before we're in radio range of Anvil Gate?" asked Marcus.
"We're past the halfway mark...Ooh maybe Hoffman will have coffee ready!" said Baird.
"Oh yeah, and some cookies too..." added Cole.
Marcus then quickly noticed barges coming in to a postion as if they're attacking.
"Someone's taking a pounding out there" said Marcus.
"Marcus, I'm picking up radio contact from that position up ahead, patching it through..." said Vale.
"I'm holdin' 'em off as best I can. Anyone picking this up? Hey, this is Truck, Fifty-Four. I need some help fast, or else I'm gonna be kissin' my ass goodbye!" said the person in need of help.
"I don't believe it. That you Dizzy?" asked Marcus.
"Marcus Fenix! Well, I'll be damned! Where are you son?" asked Dizzy.
"We're on our way Dizzy. See the extra barge coming in? That's us" added Marcus.
"You jacked a grub barge? Damn, Marcus, you got some hangars on ya!" said Dizzy.
"Hangars. Son of a bitch...We'll get the grubs off your back. Hang on" assured Marcus.
"Someone get on the turrets and light those barges up" ordered Marcus as Fred and Dom shot down the barges up ahead.
"Baird-get this thing as close to the ground as you can. We're goin' in" ordered Marcus as the team repelled down to assist Dizzy.
"Just in case it decides to go explorin without us" said Baird grabbing the Nav system.
"You takin' on the grub army single-handed again Dizzy?" asked Marcus.
"I guess I shoulda learned my lesson against Skorge! Say who are those other guys?" asked Dizzy.
"Let's deal with the grubs first, then we'll introduce you" said Marcus.
As everyone killed the Locust Delta had theirn reunion with Dizzy.
"I wasn't expectin' to run into you boys again! Come on help me move some of this amme before the goddamn grubs come back!" said Dizzy.
"I found a stash back here right before the grubs jumped me. Fort needs every round we can get" said Dizzy.
"Dizzy, this is, Locke, Buck, Vale, Tanaka of Fireteam Osiris and Master Chief, Fred, Kelly and Linda of Blue Team" said Marcus introducing the Spartans to Dizzy.
"You folks don't look like COG. You part of some different millitary or somethin'?" asked Dizzy.
"UNSC" answered Locke.
"Dizzy, we've come to find Hoffman. Last time we saw you, you were both headin' for Anvil Gate" said Marcus.
"Yeah, he's got the fort fitted real nice! I drive this route tradin' supplies with other camps. When I can slip past the goddamn grubs, that is" addd Dizzy.
"But has he still got Prescott's data disc? You know the one I can never crack? Because we really need it" asked Baird.
"Sure he has! He's still cussin' about it! Hey-you found the magic word to open it?" asked Dizzy.
"Long story. Let's grab the supplies and go" said Marcus.
Dizzy then opened the stash of ammo.
"Now that is some serious stopping power" said Cole.
"We got incoming!" said Buck.
"Everyone load up and take these grubs out" ordered Marcus.
"It's not just grubs!" added Kelly as Covenant Phantoms were inbound too.
As Locust Reavers landed A Phantom shot it to pieces.
"What the hell is that?! Damn purple spaceship just squashed that Reaver.
"Chief calls 'em the Covenant. They're not any pushovers" explained Marcus.
Dom then picked up a Hammer of Dawn and aimed it at the Phantom as it was dropping Covenant troops.
"Got it! Phantom down!" said Dom.
"We still got ground forces" added Locke taking out Elites.
"These sons of bitches are tougher than the grubs!" said Dizzy killing Elites.
"Five left" said Tanaka as she finished them off.
"All clear, load up the weapons and ammo" said Chief.
"Come on Baird, you're driving" said Marcus.
"You-you can't just drive this. You admire the view and hope the nav program works" said Baird.
"I don't give a shit. It's good enough for me" said Dizzy.
Later on the team we're almost to Anvil Gate. But incoming Locust barges, Reavers, and Covenant Phantoms.
"Marcus, hostiles on our six!" said Chief.
"Get on the guns and make sure they don't shoot us down!" ordered Marcus as Delta got on the Boomshot turrets and held off the incoming Locust and Covenant.
"Damn, that's a lot ot fire power down there" said Dom.
"Are we in radio range yet" Better warn Hoffman the grubs are coming!" suggested Cole.
"This is Marcus Fenix to Anvil Gate, over...*static* "Thi-finity-" Ah, damn, I'm just getting static!" cursed Marcus.
"Wait, I heard Infinity" said Locke.
"This is Sierra 117 to UNSC Infinity come in..."Chief? *static*" said Chief.
"If Infinity is close by maybe they can get to Hoffman and offer support!" said Buck.
Out of nowhere, Queen Myrrah and her War Beetle were in pursuit of Delta.
"Foolish boy" said Myrrah to herself.
"Okay, that just ruined my day Myrrah's back!" said Baird.
"Osiris, take her down!" ordered Locke.
"That beetle is heavily armored" said Vale.
"Agh, she's too damn fast!" said Fred.
"That beetle of her's must be turbo charged-she's too fast to target!" added Dom.
"Ahh! I can't get a fix on her either" said Marcus.
"You ever get the feeling she's just dicking with us?" asked Dom.
"No, Dom. This feels like a pretty sincere attempt on my life" answered Baird.
Queen Myrrah's beetle then used it's heat ray to burn the barge causing it to catch on fire.
"There it is, Anvil Gate! Maybe we can make it!" said Dizzy in high hopes.
"Shit, the bitch got us! Hang on-we're going down!" said Bairdm
"Spartans, armor lock!" ordered Chief and Osiris and Blue Team locked up their armor.
"Baird-any way we can slow this thing down?" asked Marcus.
"Oh, it'll slow right down When we crash" assured Baird.
The barge then crashed as everyone appeared unscaved and the Spartans unlocked their armor.
"Oh, man! Everybody in one piece?" asked Marcus.
"Uhh...I'll get back to you on that" added Cole.
Then a COG truck and a UNSC Warthog with troops arrived. Out stepped out Colonel Hoffman and Commander Sarah Palmer.
"Hold your fire!" ordered Hoffman.
"Secure the area! Aid and assist." ordered Palmer.
Hoffman then noticed Fireteam Osiris and Blue Team.
"You eight! On your feet! Ordered Hoffman.
"Commander Palmer, have a Warthog ready for transport!" ordered Hoffman.
"Yes sir!" replied Palmer signaling for a Hog.
"Captain Lasky. We found 'em" said Hoffman.
