Chapter 6: The Job

UNSC Honeysuckle, July 30

It didn't take us long to suit up. After a breif briefing, Flame snatched the keycard from my grasp. We suited up, and headed through a maze of burning passages. After what seemed like and eternity, we arrived at the hangar. And met Captain Duncan, standing in our way. He was holding a magnum at us. "One more move and your dead!" He cried, pointing the weak side-arm at my helmet. There was large Crack and Duncan once again fell to the ground. Shadow stood behind him. "Son of a gun, that man is a total jack-ass" I heard him mutter, as he kicked the limp body. I was going to join in, but Flame had already gone past us towards a longsword fighter. 'Hop aboard" He instructed.

It wasn't the easiest flight in. When your caught trying to sneak your way into an alien vessel, while in the midst of a battle, things can get prtty heated. More than once we were hit by a stray plasma bolt. After a lot of jostling, We finnaly landed, a little more beaten up than when we first started, on the alien deck. I was thinking running out the port ramp, guns blazing, when I recieved a joyful punch in the stomach. "This way you fool!" Flame hissed. He instructed me to a small trapdoor in the cockpit. "Secret exit" Came Pulses voice over the comm. I looked up at the outside cameras, and saw two lower class elites guarding the hangar. The mirrors on the longsword seemed to have worked. As I was climbling through the secret hole, I heard the port doorway hiss open. Crack was standing at the door, holding a DMR and a knife.

It was short battle. But a deadly battle all the same. Flame jumped onto Crack, just before a blue bolt of plasma hit him. It dissapated on the wall behind him. Meanwhile, I took aim at the first elite's head and fired. He was knocked dead. Pulse took down the second one, While shadow ran out with his shotgun. Both elites were dead, and now the whole team was exposed to any reinforcements. There was alien laguages coming from one of the corpses. Radios I thought to myself. "We better get out of here now." Flame called. He was running up a bright yellow ramp. Shrugging, I took the radio and followed him.

The ramp led to a long strecth of hallway. One end held what seemed to be an elevator, the other went on to who knows where.
"Take the lift" called Flame, over the comm. "And for god's sake be Careful!". "Chief, this lift is locked down". "Can you unlock it?" "Ill try, but its going to take some of my best hacking skills" Pulse opened a small hatch next to the door, and started to fiddle with the wires. He hoked a small keypad, and typed like mad. "Should be easy enough, Covenant use the same sort of nuber system the romans did, with Letters taking the numbers. Bingo" The doors slid open. Satisfied, Shadow walked in. The rest of us followed. "Now take us to the Bridge"

The doors slid open. The dome-shaped bridge of the covenant vessel glinted purple from the light the machines gave off. My gaze quickly fell towards a group of elites, all weilding some sort of light double swords and a few gorrilas, scrathing their buttocks. One of them turned around, and soon enough ours were on the line. One thing I noticed, apart from firing at these monsters, is that the gorillas were firing red bolts, not the average blue. I peeked up for a split second, and as my training took effect, I aimed, fired and dcuked in less than a second. One of the monkeys had died, but there was till one more. And the elites with swords were coming. Going out again, I saw the final gorilla had died. Shrugging, I fired at an elite. I watched it fall to the gleaming surface of the bridge, its companion falling over its corpse. taking the advantage, I snuck around the outside, and headed for the controls. As I was running, a ran into what seemed like thin air. But after I heard that familiar roar of rage, once I saw the elite materialise, I knew this was not thin air.It also held a sword. I watched, as the room around me slowed down, the elites forearm swing down, its triupmant grin upon its face. I also noticed a pipe above its head. Filled with blue gases. To late, I realised the elite was still swing its sword down. I rolled to the side, feeling the heat of the sword aginst my arm. Rolling again, I mustered my last reserve of strength and pulled out my magnum. The effect was instant. As the bullet struck against the glass, A explosion resulted, burning the elite alive. My arm also suffered burns. Limping up, I noticed Flame Planting the bomb. Over the comm link, he said 'Bomb planted. We have 10 minutes! Everyone back to the lift!" Crawling, I desperatly tried to catch up. My body failed me, and I collapsed outside the doors. Suddenly everything went dark.

I awoke onboard the longsword. Pulse and shadow were nowhere to be seen, Crack was sitting on a nearby seat, staring into the distance. Falme was crouched over my arm, tending my wounds. 'get us out of here pulse! We have a wounded". "Okay, okay, hold on to your helmet." The engines gave off a loud roar, and we slowly rose. I tried to lift myself up, but flame held me down. "Get some rest, you took a serious beating over there." I noticed he had a plasma burn on his shoulder. Weakly oberying, I rolled my eyes to the outside cameras. There was a large ammount of elites streaming down the yellow walkway. They were holding plasma rifles. They can't get us anyway I told my aching body, and felt something cold in my hand. It was the deteonator. I glanced up at Flame. He just nodded at me. Holding my breath, I moved my thumb down. It seemed to have used the last of my strength, but I heard the satisfying click of the button. Glancing up to the view screen, I watched as the Bridge started to erupt, but it didnt destory the ship. Instead, The ship started to make a head on collision to the Honeysuckle

We skidded into the docking pad. It didnt do much other damage, seeming as though it was almost destoryed. Hoisted onto Flames back, we ran to the drop pods. Flame had talked about it in training: "If your in a burning ship, and everything seems lost, just drop". I noticed Captain Duncan was closely following us. We soon arrived at the drop pods. Flame shoving me into one, he closed the hatch. The view screen showed the heads of the rest of the team. Flame wildly jammed some buttons on on the screens, and Captain Duncan, The captain of the Honeysuckle and mclivert. After watching Flames helmet pop into a screen, I felt the whoosing of the drop pod, as it slid away from the ship. "Hold on tight team!" I heard the urgent voice of flame. As I entered athmosphere, I saw the others pull a metal cord. Glancing, I found it and held on to it. Letting my body go limp, my body weight oulled the cord down. Several minutes after, We crashed ionto the surface of Reach.

We go head first into hell sir!

I really enjoyed reading this novel of yours, I'm looking forward to the next chapter. But I would proof read the next chapter because you seem to make a few spelling errors; other than that though it's great!

You should call the main cahracter passout! He seems to pass out in every chapter!

Lol, I realise, this is my first novel though... Anyway, yes Im starting to use microsoft word, because that has spell check. Ive had about 10 people keep telling me about spelling. Once the next chapters up, Im going to run through the whole story and make some tweaks.

Next chapter should be up in 2 days or so.
