Mission clock: Elevin hundred hours 5 clicks east of Covenant controled valley. Echo 419's pelacan roared to the L.Z. with the Master cheif and his team of marines. Which consisted of sargent Jhonson the sniper, private Mendez the assaultmen, and corpral Parez the demolitions expert. The master chief had a load out of sniper rifle and pistol. Through the roar of the engines, Cortana's voice came on.
"Captain Keys is being held in the structure at the center of that valley, we have to get him out" The marines loaded their weapons and jumped from the pelacan. Jhon took a magazine from his belt and shoved it in to the receiver of his sniper. "Alright everyone this is it, we have to take that valley" The cheif and his team moved into position at the top of a hill overlooking the valley. "Marines hold here I'll take point "Roger that sir!" MC crept over the hill inch by inch, moved 60 feet left to the highest part of the hill and proned, Watching the movment of covenant troops through the S2AM's 10x scope. Finaly he selected a target, a crimson armored elite guarding an entrance to the structure. He took careful aim at the alien's head and tightend the rifle to his shoulder his pointer finger came in contact with the weapon's trigger and pulled it..CRACK!! The elite could only cry out in surprise before the round went directly through his faceplate spraying thick purple-blue blood all over the wall behind him. 3 elites darted over to examin the body and they discovered the bullet hole through it's head. Three more shots rang out and they suffered the same fate. By this time grunts started running around in circles, elites took cover, jackals formed perimiters with their shields, and hunters scouted for enemies. Many more shots were fired as covenant of all sizes fell to the dirt. Hearing the shots, a gold armored elite came out of the structure and spotted the cheif. The alien charged up the hill at amazing speed Jhon aimed at the creture and pulled the trigger only to hear the most horrifing of all sounds "click" the elite was only 25 feet away now and closing fast plasma sword in hand. The chief backed up and pulled out his pistol he was about to fire when the elite screamed in pain and flew 10 feet in the air. He looked back at his team and sure enough there was corpral Parez with a smoking rockit launcher on his sholder. "Don't worry sir, we got your back" "I owe you one marine, all right let's move in and finish them off" "Won't you need a close quoter weapon?" private Mendez handed Jhon his extra assault rifle and 4 mags for it "Thanks Mendez" "Hey don't mention it just make sure you put it to good use and kill those freaks" Jhonson took the chief's previous position and covered them from long range. Meanwhile the rest of the team charged into the valley grunts got barraged by bullets, jackals got hit with grenades, elites got sniped, and hunters got blown away by rockets. After 2 solid hours of fighting, ammo was low and the team was fatigued but finally they had reached the structure. Keys was handcuffed and gaged in a jail cell. They opened the cell and Keys kept yelling somthing, they took the gag out of his mouth and he clearly stated IT'S A TRAP!!! Confusion spread throughout the team and before Jhon could ask what do you mean sargent Jhonson reported a distress message. "Cheif! they're comming! hundreds of them!! I can't hold"........ the message was cut off as the chief heard plasma fire echo through his helmet. "Get in a defensive formation, cover that entrance!" Jhon jamed the last mag into his rifle and shoved the bolt forward. aliens poured into the structure, shell casings littered the ground. The chief fired untill his rifle was empty then discarded it, grabbed a plasma rifle and kept firing. Cortana called for air support three pelacans and two long sword fighters answered the call. The pelacan pilots armed their 70mm chain guns and the long swords were loaded with bombs E.T.A. was 20 minutes. The marines started to take hits but refused to die. The team moved deeper and deeper into the structure trying to buy some time. Private Mendez passed out from blood loss and Parez wasn't looking much better. Finaly the radio transmission came "Chief are you still there? We're comming just hold on for a little longer" "I'm here but hurry these marines need medical attention a.s.a.p." "Roger we cleared outside just clear inside the structure and we'll move in and pick you up." The chief killed the aliens inside and took Mendez to the surface when he got outside he saw a pelacan sitting there blasting away with it's chain gun at elites comming over the hill. The captain, the chief, private Mendez and corpral Parez got on the pelacan and road to the safety of base camp.
