"Grunts and jackals to the right!" Cortana exclaimed in MC's ear.
MC took out his pistol to take out the grunts, then the jackals shields. He finished them off with his battle rifle.
"Mahoney to Cortana. Come in Cortana."
"Yes sarge." She replied.
"Air support is on their way. ETA is two minutes and thirty seconds."
"Roger Sarge. Make it quick because I don't think that building could last longer. Cortana answered.
"10-4. Roger out."
MC looked up as the plasma cannon charged, and shot a huge ball of plasma into the building's 30th story, shaking it like it was an earthquake.
As if lasting forever, the planes finally came in, dropping a payload of bombs, destroying it and little around it, making a loud rumbling sound.
"Thanks, Sarge." Cortana said
"Anytime Cortana." Joe replied.
Just then, a covenant phantom dropped in, deploying 15+ covenant jackals and grunts in front of a building.
A loud engine sound came out of nowhere, which came out to be a warthog. A marine in passenger in the warthog ran over 7 grunts, saying to MC, "We could use a gunner!" MC hopped in. A Covenant bus came around the corner, and MC destroyed it. Grunt bodies started flying everywhere, blood staining the already blackened street from bomb explosions.
"Hunters to the left!" Exclaimed a frightened marine.
MC swung the heavy chain gun around, blasting 20 rounds per second. The hunter's back had a weak spot, and he aimed there. Blood splattered on the window, and the hunter moaned a loud moan as it collapsed and died.
"Damn that was close!" yelled the passenger. Another warthog came up behind MC, and the passenger said they would give them support. Immediately afterwards, the warthog was blasted another hunter's fuel rod gun, killing everyone on board.
"Give me an angle!" shouted MC as he shot the oversized mutant with the grenade launcher, giving him a taste of his own weapon.
"Nice shot!" replied the driver, who shot a glance at MC.
"Keep your eyes on the road, that's how we will all get killed!" exclaimed the passenger.
A covenant bus popped out of nowhere, shooting a string of plasma at the hog, killing the passenger.
MC then shot the bus down, and kept shooting in anger with the machine gun. The driver said nothing.
"Cortana, send in some more marines, there are more covenant ground forces attacking civilian buildings, so a group of marines and I are going to take them out, and have a stationery hospital for wounded marines on the rooftop so you can evacuate them." MC said.
"Yes chief, I am sending the 209th out of South Africa, which are on their way." She replied.
The sound of a warthog came up from behind them, which then followed by a ghost and 2 more warthogs.
10 minutes later, they arrived at the building. Sergeant Engelhard then said to his marines, "Pile out marines, we need to help the chief for saving our asses from that damn covenant plasma cannon."
"Yes sir!" exclaimed the marines in unison
As soon as they entered, 3 grunts and a jackal were hiding behind a counter. MC and the marines took them out, and then out popped an elite and elite commander. The elite commander posed more of a threat with his sword, so 2 marines threw 2 frag grenades at the elite, taking out the elite's shield, then MC took him out with his battle rifle. He then double-melees the other elite, doubling him over, and popped 6 rounds in his ear level, pumping blood everywhere.
"Detecting motion up ahead. Sensing a cloaked elite, coming down the stairs. Need help locating it?" She asked.
"I will be fine." He replied. He turned on his flashlight, and after seeing the elite for half a second he turned them off, took his double sub-machine guns, activated silencers and sent 20 rounds to the elite, taking down his shields, and then made him start stumbling down the stairs.


Meanwhile, upstairs . . . . ..

"What the hell was that?" said one elite to a grunt.
"I don't know. I'll go check it out," the grunt replied. Before he could reach the stairs, a marine popped up and shot him down. Then, spotting the elite, he emptied his magazine, taking down the elite's shield temporarily. While reloading, MC sneaked up, took out his battle rifle, killing the elite from 15 feet away.
"Thanks chief, I needed that." The marine said.
"Don't forget to reload." He replied.
The marine looked embarrassed, then said, "Plum forgot."
"Area cleared," MC said to the others. Watch out, this building could collapse any moment." He reminded them.
