90% of teens would be freaking out if Miley Cyrus was standing on the edge of a tall building. Make this your signature if you would be one of the 10% yelling "JUMP!"
Chapter 5- The Rescue
The rain continued to pour down around the town. Cypher was sitting down and leaned up against the towers wall thinking of a way on how they could possibly get into the building. He weighed out his options on if they should try and find a way on how to get in with out being noticed or just go guns blazing. On his HUD he pulled up his teams plan on attacking the town. He was scrolling down notes and ideas when he came across a Longsword training exercise that would bring them within his coms range." Elzrath we have our plan."
Elzrath looked up from his post on observing the building."What is it sir?"
"There will be two longsword fighters coming in from orbit and i can contact them with my coms for a limited time. they will enter our range in about 10 minutes. This is what i need you to do. When the Longswords come they will fire there ASGM-10 missiles and make a pass firing 120mm Ventral Gun. Even tho there made more for space combat it will make quick use of the ground infantry so we can get in and out with little outside resistance. I will also have them call for a Pelican to meet up with us at the east entrance. While where inside they Longswords will focus on mopping up some of the ground forces to the east then come back for one more pass before they leave orbit."
"Ok Once we get in and locate Recon i will will carry him to the Extraction point." he turned away and looked back watching the enemy.
Cypher looked through the notes on his HUD a bit more then put it aside. He wanted to be ready for the Longswords when they came. It was finally time, he scanned the frequency's until he came across the Longswords channel."Longsword fighters this is SPARTAN- 161 Requesting fire mission at 4` 53`01"E'
"Roger we have your cordenents." The pilot up dated his GPS and veered off to the west towards the town."ETA in 5 minutes what do you need done exactly.?"
"East of the town square is a bell tower just north of that is a covenant made structure i need you to fire you ASGM-10 missiles at the entrance but do not repeat do not destroy building, then make a second pass with your 120mm Ventral Gun on ground forces around the building and then head east and take care of any enemy units, and be warned there will be friendly's running up the middle to the building so have a nice door made before we arrive. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir we do we will be there shortly."
"Oh one last thing call in for a pelican to pick us up at the east entrance."
"Pelican is in bound from orbit good luck down there fire bird out."
"Elzrath lets hustle there almost here."Cypher stood up and walked down the stairs followed by Elzrath close behind. He peered open the doors and looked up towards the sky hearing a faint rumble and two bird sized planes in the distance slowly growing larger. He waited a little bit to time it just right."5..4..3..2..1..GO!"e said and slung the door open and bounded out and turned around the building towards the structure.
The longswords came in low over the town and armed there Missiles. The pilot waited a little bit and spotted the SPARTANS and fired a volley of missiles up ahead of the SPARTANS and at the entrance.
Elzrath ran close behind Cypher as the engines of the longsswords screeched overhead. A series of explosions appeared ahead as the missiles impacted the dirt sending bodies into the air, as they drew closer to the building kicking up mud from there feet he head the faint roar of a hunter before it was silenced by an explosion. The smoke engulfed the battlefield as dirt and rocks fell from the sky around them bouncing off there armor.
Cypher brought his battle rifle up to his shoulder and bounded over the bits and pieces of the hunters. they came out into a lighted room where there were some dazed elites he opened fire on them as did Elzrath quickly finishing them off, he ran over there bodies and turned down a corridor to the left."Elzrath keep your eyes peeled for Recon."
"Got it sir." They turned down another corridor and found an elite. He fired at his torso dropping him to the ground as they came across a Reinforced door."sir he has to be behind this door."
"you take the left i get the right."
Elzrath nodded and got onto the left and waited for Cyphers signal then he moved and kicked the door at the hinges making a noticeable snap as the door crashed down. He raised his assault rifle and scanned the room., it was oddly empty besides the table in the middle with a green body laying there. He scanned the room one more time before they both walked into it"Why is there no one in here?"
"Your right don't let your guard down." as he looked over the body it was Recon. his armor was stained black from plasma burns. as he examined his body closer he noticed Recon was missing his left arm up to his elbow.
"Sir hes still alive." as he reached down to pick him up he heard a sizzling noise and felt something slam into his back. He slowly looked down and saw the front of an energy blade sticking out of him.
Cypher impulsively turned around and saw an elite that was not noticeable until it lowered its Camouflage. He raised his battle rifle and fired 3 burst into its skull until it dropped to the ground, and the energy sword de activated.
Elzrath coughed up some blood onto the inside of his helmet staining the face mask. He fumbled into his pack and pulled out some bio foam and inserted it into his wound and filled it up. He was breathing heavily and stood up and grabbed Recons arm and slung him over his shoulder."Cypher lets go."He coughed again he knew the Bio foam would not last long he just had to make it to the pelican and he would be fine.
Cypher nodded and looked up and ran out of the door."We have to find the reactor and rig it to blow come." He ran out of the door and turned to the right where he was picking up heavy radiation." Cypher to fire bird. fire bird come in."
"Fire bird to Cypher Pelican is at extraction point and we are making our final approach it looks like you have a clear exit."
"Thank you fire bird you can return to base."
"Roger that fire bird out."
Cypher came to another door and kicked it in and tossed a fragmentation grenade into the room and waited for the boom. He turned in and fired at a couple of dazed jackles and walked in. He looked for the coolant pipes and stuck some fragmentation grenades on them, he walked over to a jackle body and grabbed 2 plasma grenades. He activated both of them before tossing them into the reactor."Elzrath run get out of here."
Elzrath adjusted Recon on his shoulder and turned out of the room and began to run. He looked down to see check on his wound and saw a small stream of blood coming down. the booms of the grenades echoed through out the halls. An alarm went off inside his Helmet indicating that there was a spike in radiation." Cypher your plan worked this place is going down."
"Ya but we got to hurry." he said as the rocketed out of the entrance back over the dead hunter bodies. the rain had stopped as did the thunder. It was still dark and gloomy but an improvement."There to the east i can see the pelican."
There was some static over the Spartans coms."This is Crash i heard you guys needed a bird well here it is." On the top of the pelican in a darker shade of green was the word "Madox" and outlined in black. Know one really knew why Madox was on the pelican but know one really cared.
"Sure am glad to see you Spartan."Cypher smirked a bit under his helmet and looked over at Elzrath as they reached the pelican and ran up the landing ramp."Hurry up and take us to EXCALIBUR"
The Excalibur was a UNSC Destroyer that had been in orbit above the planet for sometime. The planet it was guarding was recently discovered and was just known as Planet Rees. It is only being harvested for its titanium mines and is very currently building UNSC battleships.
Elzrath set recon down on a makeshift bed and removed his helmet.Recons face looked very pale except for the streams of blood that came from his mouth. He reached into his pack and pulled out an IV and un screwed a small cap in recons right arm and inserted the needle.
He felt the rumbling of the pelicans engines as it took off and headed towards orbit. Where was he was he alive,he could not tell. his eyes slowly opened and he looked at Elzrath then he closed his eyes again.
Crash's voice came over the loud speaker."Looks like you guys had some trouble down there. but were almost home were just now leaving orbit. sit tight."
Cypher leaned back and sighed closing his eyes. and drifted off to sleep. After a little bit he awoke to the pelican landing inside of the UNSC Destroyer. He stood up and looked down and saw as the ramp lowered the familiar SPARTANS of his squad Sam A.K.A Raptor the engineer, An A.K.A Archer the Sharpshooter, And Christian A.K.A Archangel the brains.
