It was meant to be a routine mission for Captain Jack Thompson of the Black Knight Pelican Squadron. He mission was to drop of some Marines at Base Camp Zulu on Planet Yarvin and return to UNSC London. Yarvin was in great need of reinforcements after the Covenant began their invasion on the planet but, luckily the dense Jungle has hampered their invasion on the planet. Thompson was just hoping that the Covenant won't bother them when they drop of the Marines. Then he thought hell you know how the Covenant are a pain up the back side.
Thompson Gave his co-pilot PFC Jack Ryan a little nudge because he was falling asleep "Wake up Son, do you want to come back in a body bag." He said in a strong Texan accent.
"No Sir."
"Damn right."
They were nearing the base they saw some smoke coming from one of the buildings and heard gunfire and explosions. Thompson turned on his comm link. "Papa bear this is Whiskey 19 we are coming in, do you need hand down their."
For a few seconds the only thing that can be heard was static. "This.... Pa..Pa bear we need assistance.... know, human kill him, shit they broke threw the perimeter ahhhh." The only thing that was heard was a couple of plasma shots then the transmission ended. Ryan was in shock. "No way we are going down their sir?" Thomson replied.
"Hell yeah son." With a grin on his face.
He then shouted to the sergeant of the Marine squad." Sarge we have got a hot LZ better hang on."
"Roger that Captain, ok lads you heard the Captain brace yourselves." Shouted the Sergeant.
Ryan looked back at the Marines in the back as he saw them hang on for their lives." Poor bastards no one should be going threw this." Thompson then replied. "War is hell."
Then a Plasma shots shook the Pelican." A red light came on and then voice from the control panel. "Main boosters have came offline."
"Shit boosters must of been hit, put on auxiliaries boosters" Thompson barked "Damn it come on I can't do it sir, I aint got enough power sir."
"Boot up the B.U.P(Back up power)."
"Good ideal Cap, but we will burn up in the the damn atmosphere on the way back to the UNSC London sir."
Do it anyway Private." Thompson barked.
"Yes sir." think that if he will see his wife and kids again."
"Know lets land this bird."
As a battle sill rages under beneath them. "Land on the platform son"
"Yes sir, I think we got an welcoming committee Cap."
Thompson looked out the window and saw a Colonel with two heavily armed Marines" Where's the red carpet" Captain then turned the comm on. "Thank you for riding with the Black Nights good hunting." The sergeant then shouted to Thompson. "Cheers Captain for the lift good driving, if I ever see you again remind me to buy you and your co-pilot a couple of beers." The Sergeant barked an order and they all got of each one of them saluting the Colonel on the way out who was waiting their.
Jack reached for a bottle of Jack Daniels. "Want a quick glass.
Thompson shook his hand and said. "We better get out of here we are sitting ducks remember this thing aint going to get us of this planet." They both walked out forgetting about the Colonel being out their, then a marine shouted attention. "Both of them stood to attention."
The Colnel said calmly. "At Ease." even if their was a battle still waging the Colnel was around 6'2 in height Thompson and Ryan were up to his shoulder around 50 years of age. "Captain you did some good driving up their, even without tower assistance. Anyway back to the point I need you to get me of Yarvin."
Thompson calmly said. "That isn't possible sir Black Knight 1 is out of commission, in other words the ship has no juice."
"Well this changes things." All a sudden a plasma shot hit one of the marines in the arm. "Ahhhhhhh it burns Medic!"
"Corporal Jones takes him to the medic."
"Sir" The Corporal dragged him to the Field Hospital.
Then the Colonel says. "Ok we need every man who can walk go to the armoury and grab a gun."
They both Saluted an run down the stairs keeping their heads down as plasma flew pass their head then a grunt came running out the tent and a marine wearing an chef uniform came out chasing it with a saucepan and jumped on it beating it to death.
