Part 2
The covenant charged. They had not shot at them from afar because the marines could easily find cover in the complex. So they decided to charge. The Jackals were ahead of the pack because they would provide cover for the rest with their shields.
The Chief felt and heard the rumble as the Covenant swarmed, just according to plan.
“Tell the marines to fire, Sergeant,” Master Chief quickly said.
“Gotcha Chief,”the Sergeant responded, “FIRE AT WILL MARINES!”
All at once 50 chain guns let loose from all over the complex. Not even the Jackals’ shields could withstand that. The grunts behind the Jackals charged ferociously with no fear, something the Master Chief had never seen. They kept advancing as bullets punctured through their small bodies, some of the grunts got their methane tank punctured and exploded killing nearby enemies. The Elites were also completely mutilated. Their shields could not stand up to that kind of fire power. Purple blood exploded from their chests as the bullets punched through the shield, armor, and then finally into their soft flesh. The bullets continued to rain down brutally, ripping the Covenant forces to pieces.
The Master Chief and the rest of the marines looked on as the covenant body count reached extraordinary levels. There were bodies everywhere, dead grunts, Elites and jackals. The Chief looked on and wondered what the covenant would do next since clearly their charge plan wasn’t working.
It took the MC a second to realize what was happening. All it once he saw pairs of green round lights starting to glow in between the covenant ranks.
“HUNTER SALVO ALL MARINES DUCK !!” the MC yelled at the top of his lungs.
All at once the marines got behind some kind of cover or simply ducked. The hunters released their plasma salvos from their fuel rod guns. The MC already crouching on the floor, looked up at the sky as it turned from blue to green. This was the most immense Hunter attack he had ever seen.
The plasma shots impacted hard against the complex. They were aiming at the turrets. The entire complex rattled as the shots hit. Any marines that were anywhere near the turrets were instantly blown to pieces. After the massive hit, the MC got up and saw his chance of retaliation.
“Rockets!” the chief yelled once again and a massive salvo of rockets sailed through the sky towards the Hunters. Every rocket hit its mark. The hunters tried to withstand the blasts with their shields but there were just too many rockets being fired at once. All of the hunters that fired at the complex laid dead now chunks of their bodies littered the floor, along with any covenant close to them.
Now with no turrets, the damage had been done, the covenant tidal wave rushed at them with renewed zeal. The Chief still had a few tricks up his sleeve.
“Begin sniper fire,” the Chief instructed Sergeant Johnson.
Snipers placed all over the complex began to unload, their targets, the elites. Out of hiding two Scorpion tanks and four warthogs, charged down the field, shooting at the covenant as they went down. The scorpion tanks’ shot at the covenant leaving only craters in their wake. There were two chain gun hogs and two rocket hogs, they unloaded. While the scorpion tanks waited for their main cannons to recharge, their chain guns let loose. At first the vehicles were winning, killing grunt after grunt, elite after elite, etc. However the covenant proved to be to many. They fired their plasma weapons, and the onslaught of plasma brought down two warthogs and a Scorpion tank.
The MC saw as his plan went up in smoke. He had lost 8 marines in that little skirmish. He saw another one of the Warthogs explode and proceeded to watch the driver of the Scorpion tank melted to death by the plasma. With the last explosion of the remaining Warthog, the Chief felt something he hadn’t felt in a while, anger. He felt like he wanted to go down the mountain and kill every last covenant basterd down there. Doing so would be suicide however, and his team needed him, if they were to survive the covenant that were coming up into the complex at this very moment.
