Apologies. I know that you have thought my spelling and capitals were out of place in the last one but it was my first post to the site & I was very excited and wanted to upload it as soon as possible also I am used to spell-check so If there are any problems with this one just say so. sorry for any inconvenience.(also sometimes my finger slips.) ;-)
Chapter 3
The murmurs going through the grunts' voices on the covenant vessel had made the elites be more wary of more grunts leaving. They now had night-guards patrolling the area. The grunts, however, were thinking of ways to get around them, hiding things that the Rebellion requested and finding the planet on their comm channels. In the mean time, the small group of rebels on the unmarked planet were trying to get a fire going with some engine oil and wood. They hadn't eaten for a while, and were starving for some decent food. Kugga let out a groan and fell backwards "Urrrgh! When can we eat?" "When I find the food!" shouted Fussnucka "Parappa here landed on our ship!"
"HEY! You can't see a thing in those things!" Parappa shouted back at Fussnucka "You get a slit & a radar and that's your whole visual!" "Fine, just shut up and help me look!"
Approximately 10 mins later, Fussnucka walked towards the fire carrying some grey packets, 5 bottles of liquid-methane and some bread-like foods. He ripped open one of the packets and squeezed out some orange ooze. He divided the substance up and served it on flat rocks. There was easily enough for everyone but only enough for a week; they just hoped that the other grunts would make it.
"30 more just gone!" Shouted an elite over the comm to the elite commander "More going, I'll get on them." The commander shook his head "This is not good. They ARE all going." He walked to an elite in black armour "I have a special job for you."
Chapter 4
Many more phantoms had rushed to the planet. The grunts were now building a dome in which to build a small city. For now they shared quarters inside the landed phantoms. Some had come in smaller vehichles such as banshees but they needed much more methane. There were now about 750 grunts there now and were each being assigned to new jobs such as ground troops, zero-g, turret etc. Fussnucka was training a group of 6 grunts to use their jet-packs in hover formation outside the dome when another phantom arrived. no-one got out of it. Fussnucka climbed inside, there was no-one there. He heard a muffled *clunk* come from a storage cabinet in the corner. He drew his needler and walked towards the corner to hear a low humm. He lifted the lid and heard the pitch rise, he peered in to see a small spikey object with a red blinking light on the top. "Oh hell no!" He whispered. He turned around and flung humself out of the side door as the ship exploded into a large ball of plasma. He fell to the floor, in his small angle of vision he saw an elite's hoof dart behind a work station. Fussnucka got up and cursed under his breath then shouted "An enemy has infiltrated the base! Find him before somebody gets hurt!" and with that he drew both needlers and said "you can't be too careful." Todi, Kugga, Byap & Yappa replied by drawing their guns and spreading out. Todi turned a corner with dual orange plasma-rifles, looking around him suspiciously. He loved to look professional, but it sometimes led him to trouble.
Suddenly the black elite turned the corner and struck todi in the face, knocking the rifles out of his hands. The elite drew a sword and held it high above Todi's head
"You touch my friend and you DIE!" Came Kugga's voice. The elite turned to see Kugga with the fuel-rod cannon "Why are you here? To find information? To kill us? What?" The elite replied not, but charged at Kugga. He was too close to shoot now and Kugga was technically boned, when 2 short blue thin lines struck through the elite's back. It screamed and fell to the floor revealing fussnucka with the wrist-blade on. "you finished it?" Exclaimed Kugga. "yeah," Replied Fussnucka twisting his wrist a little " I guess he got the point!"
