Halo 5.1 Guardians of Sera chapter 22
"But that's downright unbelievable, even for that asshole!...So this thing your dad's invented-it'll kill off the Lambent? What about the rest of the grubs?" asked Hoffman.
"No guarantees. Just because they turn into Lambent, doesn't mean it'll work on 'em. But we've still gotta find out where Azura is" answered Marcus.
"Shame about the hammer. It's just what we need" said Baird.
"Goddamn thing! It still triggers a few satellites, but forget about accuracy" said Hoffman.
"Hmm, Maybe I can fix that" suggested Baird.
"I'll help too" added Tanaka.
"Baird? Here's the disk! Amaze me" said Hoffman.
Bernie then walked up to Hoffman urgently.
"Bernie, you are not gonna believe this shit!" said Hoffman.
"It'll have to wait, Vic. Is anyone monotoring the radio net? It's Sam and Anya. They're pinned down outside the perimeter" said Bernie.
"We're on it, Bernie. Come on, people, lock and load" ordered Marcus.
"I'll get someone to drive the truck for ya" assured Hoffman.
"What, did I miss something blondie?" asked Bernie.
"Uh..I'll let your old man fill you in. Just keep an eye on his blood pressure. Stay calm, deep breaths, that kind of stuff, okay?" added Baird.
"Commander Palmer, have someone drive a Warthog for me. I'm going after Sam and Anya" asked Chief.
"Cole, with me. Dom, you and Bernie get up there and give us some cover while Baird and Tanaka work on the Hammer.
"Fred, take the gunner seat. Palmer is having someone driving a Warthog for us. We're going after Sam and Anya" ordered Chief.
"117 to Anya, come in! We're coming to get you"
"Chief? Is Marcus with you?" asked Anya.
"Anya we're coming to get you! Are you okay? Where's Jace?" asked Marcus.
"We're pinned down. Jace isn't here-he's on his way with Carmine" replied Anya.
"Okay Anya, hold on!" said Marcus.
"Locke, do you have a visual on Anya and Sam?" asked Chief.
"Affirmative 117. Blue Team and Osiris will provide covering fire" answered Locke.
"Just bring 'em home safe" said Buck.
"Copy that Buck. 117 out" said Chief.
"Yo, Marcus. I see the ladies-parked behind the Packhorse!" added Cole.
"Look out! Digger!" shouted Marcus as a Digger grenade caused the vehicles to crash.
"Marcus, are you okay? Marcus?" said Sam.
"Come on get up!" added Sam.
Then a Locust drone ripped off a COG soldier's arm and beat him to death with it. But then Fred killed the Locust with his DMR.
"Is everybody okay?" asked Chief.
"We need to clear 'em out" said Marcus.
"Take out that Digger!" ordered Fred.
All of a sudden the Digger Boomer was taking fire from behind by an unknown shooter. Which then causes the Boomer to be dissenagrated.
"What the hell was that?" asked Marcus.
"Those things aren't Locust or Covenant" said Anya.
"Is that supposed to be a dog?" asked Sam.
"No, It's a Promethean Crawler!" added Fred and he killed it.
"Marcus, we got some new guys ahead of your position. What the hell are those things?" asked Dom.
"Prometheans!" answered Locke.
"Great, what else can go wrong?" asked Cole.
Lambent stalks then popped up from the ground.
"You had to ask" said Marcus.
"We got glowies too now! They seem to give the Prometheans quite the fight" added Vale.
"Only thing missing is...*hears plasma shots from a phantom* yep...there it is" said Buck as everyone noticed Covenant forces inbound.
"Shit, there's too many of 'em now!" said Fred under fire.
"Come on we gotta hold 'em off til the Hammer's fixed.
"Sierra 117 to Palmer, requesting reinforcements we got Covenant and Prometheans in the area" said Chief.
"You got it" said Palmer.
"Hey Palmer, have Hoffman deploy reinforcements too!" asked Marcus.
"Already on it Fenix!" replied Hoffman.
"Alright people we got reinforcements coming in. Hold 'em off so we stand a chance" ordered Marcus.
"There's so many of them!" said Sam.
"Stay with Chief and I. Don't fall behind" said Fred.
"Ready?...GO!" ordered Chief as he and Fred lead the charge against all overwhelming odds.
Chief and Fred began with killing some Crawlers as Delta took out Polyps and Drudges.
Promethean Knights and Watchers were killing the Grubs and Covenant while Marucus deciced to Chainsaw an oncoming Drudge and kicked the body towards the large group of enemies.
"These Prometheans are really tough" said Anya nearly using an entire Lancer mag to kill one Knight.
Sam tossed a frag near some Prometheans but a watcher threw it right back.
"Oh, shit!" said Sam dodging out the way.
"Take out the watchers first. It'll make things easier" sugested Fred.
As the Elites were wiping out the drones, a giant stalk made its presence known by dropping a Lambent Beserker.
"Uh guys, you got a big one coming...and it jumps!" said Buck.
"Buck, what are you talking about?" asked Marcus.
"Marcus, that don't look good" added Cole.
"LAMBENT BESERKER!" shouted Anya.
Take it out!" said Fred as he opened fire with the bullets doing no effect.
"It's too heavily armored" said Chief trying to do damage with his assault rifle.
Just then COG and UNSC reinforments arrived to even the odds.
"Tanaka, what's the status on the Hammer of Dawn?" asked Chief.
"We don't have full control of it" answered Tanaka.
"We're being overrun bring the hammer online" ordered Marcus.
"Okay but you need to bring everyone inside" added Baird.
"Just fire it up!" ordered Marcus.
"Reinforcements we're just deployed" added Buck.
The Lambent Beserker began killing everything around her. Locust, Covenant, Prometheans, and humans.
"That Beserker is wiping everybody out!" added Vale.
"That armor of his is too tough!" said Buck in the UNSC turret.
"Beserkers are females" added Hoffman.
"Gotta give her credit, she's one tough bitch!" added Kelly.
"117, get everyone and those troops back to the fort NOW!" said Locke.
"It's firing...NOW!" said Baird as he fired up the Hammer of Dawn.
"Marcus, Run!" shouted Dom.
"Run! Everybody-get to the fort!" shouted Marcus as everyone ran to the fort while the Hammer was still active.
With the Beserker still in pursuit the gates to the fort closed and the Hammer focused on the Lambent Beserker.
"Did we fry that bitch?" asked Cole.
"Looks that way" replied Sam.
"All right-everybody get inside. We've got unfinished buisness to-*loud bang* what the hell?" asked Marcus and the gate door sounded like it was about to be smashed through.
As the smashing ceased, the Lambent Beserker jumped on top of the gate and landed in front of everyone.
