Halo 5.1 Guardians of Sera chatper 35

"Okay, let's get to the cable car" said Marcus.

"I hope they haven't trashed it" said Jace.

The team finally found Griffin's cable car which was in one piece.

"The cargo's intact. Well that's somethin'. Come on, let's get out of here" said Marcus as he fired it up.

But as Marcus started the cable car, it wouldn't move.

"Aw, shit! It's not movin'!" said Jace.

"Ah. Looks like it's secured to the building with a safety cable" said Sam.

"Then let's get in there and cut this thing loose" added Marcus.

Marcus and Jace opened the barbed and razor wire barricade for everyone to pass through in order to get further in to the building.

As everyone got inside, packs of Formers swarmed the team.

"They're everywhere!" said Anya.

"Keep going! That cable has to be secured around here somewhere!" said Marcus.

Everyone cleared them out only to find the security cable.

"Look! There's the cable" said Jace.

"All right let's cut it loose!" said Marcus as he chainsawed the cable.

"That did it. Good to go!" said Jace.

"Come on! Let's get out of here!" said Marcus.

But then more Fomers were on the prowl.

A Mulcher heavy machine gun was on the ground as Master Chief picked it up to provide cover fire as it was time to leave.

"Marcus, I'll take point. Have everyone watch my six!" said Chief.

"You heard the man people!" said Marcus.

Master Chief lead the charge laying down heavy fire cleaing the Lambent in his way.

Chief fired the Mulcher as it quickly ran out of ammo. He tossed the empty weapon as he continued to lead to the cable car.

"Okay, we're done here. Let's get out of here before those things catch up with us!" said Marcus.

"Marcus, come in! This is Dizzy!" said Dizzy.

"Dizzy, go ahead. We're on our way back with the fuel" said Marcus.

"You better hold off! Queen Myrrah just showed up with her war beetle! We're under attack!" explained Dizzy.

"Ah, shit!" cursed Sam.

"We see her Diz. Just keep down and head to the roof!" ordered Marcus.

"Locke, what's your status?" asked Chief.

"The Locust Queen is dropping forces on our position" explained Locke.

"Can you hold them back?" asked Chief.

"For now" answered Kelly.

"Keep Griffin's people safe until we can get there. Escort everyone to the roof and stay out of sight of the Queen's war-beetle. Hold your position" ordered Chief.

"That bitch is definitely following us!" said Sam.

"Hey, the Queen's pulling out!" said Jace.

"Then let's get over there and help Dizzy!" ordered Marcus.

"Okay, we're clear" said Jace.

"Now let's hope Griffin keeps his word" said Anya.

"Oh, he bloody well better!" said Sam.

"Hope Dizzy can hold off the Queen's guards til we get there" said Anya.

"He survived worse. Like Skorge. But if anything happens to him, Griffin won't be so fucking lucky" said Marcus.

"We got incoming hostile cable cars!" said Chief.

"Take em out! We gotta get back to Dizzy" said Marcus.

"117, we secured what's left of the stranded on the roof and defending the postion. What's your status over?" asked Locke.

"We're en route back with Griffin's cable car under hostile fire. Hang on!" said Chief.

"You may wanna double time it John! We got Prometheans in the AO" added Tanaka.

"Chief, come one we're here" said Marcus as the Cable car stopped by Griffin Tower.

"We're on our way back. Hold position. Over and out" said Chief.

"Okay. Let's go get Dizzy" said Jace.

"Looks like Myrrah left her guards behind" said Anya.

"Clear 'em out! We gotta get to the others!" ordered Chief.

After clearing the floor of the Queens Guards, the ground shook from above the team recieved an incoming SOS from Dizzy.

"Marcus? Marcus! We're in he shit up here! Me, Locke Kelly, Tanaka and Griffin! We're on our own now! We can't hold out much longer!" said Dizzy.

"We're coming to get ya Dizzy, just hang on!" said Marcus.

"The Queen's guards are killing everyone!" said Anya.

"Chief? We got bigger problems here!" said Kelly.

"More Prometheans?" asked Chief.

"Worse!" added Locke.

"It's the Warden Eternal!" said Tanaka.

"Warden killed Griffin's people in one fell swoop" said Kelly.

"Keep him busy! We're almost there!" ordered Chief.

"Who the fuck's the Warden Eternal?" asked Jace.

"Prescott brought him up before he died. We'll finally see this guy face to face" said Anya,

"Use the ladders come on! We got to get to Dizzy before this Warden does!" ordered Marcus.

"Marcus! We're pinned down at the far end of the roof now!" said Dizzy.

"What about Locke and the others?" asked Marcus.

"We're keeping the Warden away from him. We can't hold him off much longer" answered Locke.

"We reached the roof. We're coming!" assured Marcus.

After clearing the roof from Locust Marcus and the team found Dizzy and the others.

"MARCUS!" shouted Dizzy as he waved to the others.

The Warden then turned to see Marcus and Delta but focused attention on Master Chief.

"Reclaimer? Cortana has been searching for you! It'll be a pleasure for her to come to this planet and wipe out this worthless species" said the Warden.

"Target his back! It's his weakness!" said Chief as he opened fire.

The Warden then had everyone sent flying back with a swipe of his hand.

"We'll see each other again soon. Just not now" said the Warden as he dissapeared.

"Uggghn Is everyone okay?" asked Marcus.

"What the hell was that thing?" asked Sam.

"That...was the Warden Eternal" answered Locke as he Kelly and Tanaka helped everyone back to there feet.

"Cortana has been on our tails for a while now. Never thought the Warden would be too" said Kelly.

"How does it know Cortana?" asked Anya.

"It stood in service for her. If she knows we're on Sera, she'll kill us all. We need to keep moving" answered Chief.

"Okay, Griffin, we got your goddamn fuel. We're done!" said Marcus.

"You're done?! They're fucking dead! My people are all dead! We've survived Hammer strikes, the grubs, the whole damn war, and then you show up and I lose fuckin' everybody! You fuckin' COG bastards! Everywhere you go, everything you do, it's nothing but death, pain and miseries! You piece of shit motherfuckers!" vented Griffin.

Marcus pulls Grifin closer and yells:

"I just lost my fucking brother, all right? You hear that? My Brother! You, and your tower, and all this fuckin' Imulsion-can go to hell!"

"We'll settle this shit another time Fenix! You count on that, bitch!" said Griffin as he left on his cable car.

"C'mon, let's get this fuel to the truck. We've got a submarine to find" said Anya.

Later...

The team was continuing their trip to the shipyard and the Queen was watching over them.

"Marcus Fenix seems to be as persistant as his father-and just as predictable. If he lives, our entire species dies. Make sure his touching little mission ends here" said Myrrah to the group of Armored Kantus.

But just as they were about to leave, The Warden Eternal arrived in front of them with some Promethean Knights.

The Armored Kantuses surrounded the Queen to protect her.

"I'd advise you call off these savage beasts" warned the Warden.

Myrrah then signaled the Kantus to clear out of her way.

"How dare you threaten me!" spat Myrrah.

The Warden then orderd one of the knights to kill of of the Armored Kantus causing it to turn to ash.

The Queen looked in horror as the Warden came closer and said:

"I am the Warden Eternal. I believe we can make a deal".

Meanwhile...

"Locust!" shouted Anya.

"Hit it, Dizzy!" ordered Marcus as Dizzy floored the gas petal ramming the Locust gateblock ahead.
