(Sorry I Haven't posted any new parts to the story I was gone for the week. So here is Part 2 to Day 2)
Day 2 Pt. 2 - Soldiers Side
The pilot said we were going into combat on some planet called Lithius...or at least I think. Anyway, I was nervous because I never had any real combat. It was all training stuff. But I thought this could help me forget about the Master Chief.
When we got the Lithius, the pilot had to land outside the city. The troops who were already here were pinned down at the center of the city and there Phantoms making sure no reinforcements could land in the city. Thank god the Convenient didn't see use. Once we landed, the officer on board briefed us as we got are weapons. His name was Master Sargent Williams. He told us in a demanding voice," Alright you ladies we got troops in the middle of the city." He pulled a marker and drew a diagram of the situation.
He continued," Now those alien bastards gots every entrance surrounded land and air. Basically it's a death trap."
I looked around the ship and saw worried, but then the Sargent said in a realized voice,"Fortunately my sources say that here," pointing to a something on the diagram,"there is a series of alley ways that lead straight to our troops. Now its being guarded, but not and bad as the streets are. If were quiet we can takem' out and get are boys back home. Now if there aren't any questions lets get out there." No one said anything and we headed outside.
Once outside I saw the destruction of what the Convenient did to the city. I didn't have time to observe because Sargent Major was eager to get out of this hell hole. So once everyone was suited up we ran straight to the city. Once at the city I noticed a stench that almost made me sick. I looked around and saw the decaying bodies of the innocent victims from the attack. There was a guy behind me who couldn't hold it and throw up. Almost hit me to. Sargent Major sent someone back to help him and we continued on. Once we saw some enemies we rushed into the nearest alley. It was a brute and three grunts. A guy with a sniper took out the brute while too other guys got the grunts. I stuck the using the alleys for safety. The most we saw was a grunt or rat. Nothing to big.
The trip to the troops was only about four miles but it seemed like ten due to us using the alleys. It took us three hours to make it to the stranded troops, and pinned downed hard. The pilot tuned into there radio signal. Once we got a hold of them, First Lt. Girgs answered," Hello...can anyone hear me.
The pilot Cpl. Miks replied," Yes, this Cpl. Miks, where here to get you out of there soldier.
Grigs excitedly said," Oh thank god almighty, he boys were saved." cheers in the background.
Miks asked," What is your situation right now?"
Grigs replied," Were pinned down. There four banshees, two wraiths , and multiple ghost. We got a couple of Warthogs in the back, but some covies are guarding them. If you can take out the ones in the back and the banshee guarding the base we can get over there to you."
Master Chief demanded," Alright you heard the man,"point to one of the soldiers"you with the sniper take out the guys in the back. You take the laser and get those banshees out. Hop to it."
The sniper got nothing but head shots, and I was amazing, he was one of the most skilled marksman I've ever seen. Once the guy took out the banshee the Chief ran to the base. everyone was covering him except me. I was still pissed at him. Once he made it there, he kick in the door and went in. It wasn't long before he came out with a squad of men behind him. I finally turned around and started giving cover. I didn't want to see anyone else die. Once they got here Sargent Major was cheering and for the first time in a while, I was smiling.
Then we heard a boom I turned around and Sargent Major fell in my arms. Bullet to the head. There was blood on my face. and i just there in shock holding him. Master Chief took him throw him over his shoulder and ordered us to to get back to the ship, but I couldn't move. Lt. Grigs had to pick me up.
We made it back to the ship without seeing any other enemies. Once we were in space there were three phantoms behind us. The pilot could shake them. Then one of the phantoms hit are left engine and the ship was going down. The pilot said," were gonna have to make a crash landing."
Chief asked,"Where?"
Miks shouted,"This planet."
Chief said,"Its uncharted though."
Miks replied," Its only chance we got. Hold on boys its gonna be a bumpy one."
