Before the blade sliced him in two it fell to the ground and disappeared. Tears fell from his eyes and they made Sam feel horrible, like an evil wretched creature from a twisted fantasy novel. The blood dripped down the cold metal and onto his hands staining them for eternity with the blood of his unknown enemy. Then he came back to his thoughts knowing all to well that this enemy would never show mercy for him. He jammed the knife further into the Elite's stomach, his scream deafened all in the room with a high pitched but somehow coarse screach. He then pushed the knife further up his body and behind his ribcage. He puncutered its lungs and along weezing sound came from his wound and mouth. He pulled the knife out of it's body and he fell to ground, gasping for air.
"Doc," said Sam, "come hear fix this guy up for evac, lets see if we can get some intel on this guy."
The medic, better known as Joseph "Doc" Rebinski went up to the gold elite and put an oxygen mask on his face. Oxygen rushed into the alien's lungs, restoring his energy but before he could do ne thing Doc gave him an anethestic. Quickly he fell into a deep, dream filled sleep. Sam then went up to the 3 wounded Spartans, 2 of them were fine, just knocked around, the other had his left middle finger chopped off by the elite's plasma sword. A medic applied some bio-foam and then put a sticky substance which he then reattached his finger to it with the armor around it. Within a day he would be fine, and he was still combat effective.
The Colonel's voice them came up on Sam's radio, "November 61 this is Zulu 34, did you take objective Echo 97, over."
"Uh, thats a roger Zulu 34, Echo 97 is secure, over."
"Copy that, expect us theire in 2 minutes. The 1045th Transport Wing is inbound on your position, ETA 5 minutes. They're gonna pick up the wounded a drop off the 403rd ODST Division to secure the perimeter while we secure the ships."
Sam and the others sat tight for a few minutes before they could hear engines outside the HQ. They went out and the rest of the regiment got off their vehicles. The colonel told Sam that only 1 guy died but a dozen others were in critical condition but they would most likely survive. The dropships then arrived and picked up the wounded and prisoners after the ODSTs were deployed.
The commander of the Wing was stunned at the number of prisoners taken, "Holy shit! 512 prisoners taken. We've never taken that many prisoners at one time, plus a u took an actual commander of a Covenant army. Jesus, those guys must be more afraid of you guys than their bosses."
The colonel gave him a quick nod and then turned away ordering his regiment to get ready for boarding action. 2 cruisers and an assualt carrier were the Covie ships in the area. 1st and 2nd battalions, Sam's battalion, were to assualt the larger carrier whereas the other 2 battalions each assualted a separate cruiser. Each battalion got on a gravity lift that lead them to their designated ship as the ODSTs set up a perimeter at the Covies old perimeter. Sam was lifted from the ground with Mike and Sam floating next to him. He couldn't see but he knew they were smiling behind their visors. They were then pulled up into the ship at an astounding speed. When he got inside the ship he quickly deployed his squad in a L formation that overlooked two separate doors on adjacent sides of the large room.
After the rest of the 2 battalions were in the ship they prepared to move out. Sam would go take the bridge as other would take the brigs, the core room, hangars, main barracks, and armories. Before they could move out all the doors in the room opened but nothing could be seen. Knowing what could be in the room Sam and the rest activated their thermal scanners. When his scanner activated he saw the heat outline of an elite 3 feet in front of him. A long, thin ray of heat reached out from his hand, the invisible elite swung his plasma sword at Sam. He opened fired with his rifle as did 1000 other Spartans firing at several platoons of invisible elites.
