1045 HOURS, June 7, 2558 (Military Calander)/
Second platoon head pelican, LZ alpha,
Planet Emos, Morf system
Second platoon had the easiest job of the company. Solar and second platoons LZ was in an army held firebase. He switched to the firebase's frequency and spoke, "Spartan 220 to firebase alpha...this is Staff Seargant Spartan 220 to firebase alpha do you read me..."
"We read you Spartan 220 whats your ETA"
"Estimated time of arrival is fifteen minutes whats your status firebase alpha?"
"Sir, there hasent been any fighting around here for days. The last attack was five days ago, and it was a gruesome fight. They came at us with about 50 grunts and luckily they werent very organized at all. We only lost twenty men sir."
"Good this job should be easy then. I'll see you in fifteen. Solar 220 out." Solar then figured that these grunts must have been elites to take out so many men. But the fact that the comm tech told him they were unorganized made him think they were regular grunts. Solar had no real idea what he was going into.
Szant was pacin in front of his men. Two hundred grunt elites stood at attention in front of him. Szant was a black clad elite that was tired of the prophets and their false gods. There were many elites that disbanded with their grunts, knowing that the prohets lies could get them all killed. These elites have yet to come together and create any sort of affective assaults on the human race. Szant was one of the elites of "The God's Chosen", the best of the best in the covenant. Now him and the grunts loyal to him were preparing to assault a pathetic human firebase.
Szant turned to his grunts and with a booming voice in a language understood by very few humans spoke,"Elite grunts of the New Covenant prepare yourselves for probably one of the easiest firefights of your short lives. We will be attacking a human firebase on top of the hill two units from here. It is held by what the pink ones call the "army". They are not as skilled as the usual pinkies. These humans only started to appear after the battle for the human home world was over. These "soldiers" were positioned on their planet and assisted these "Marines" is fending off the Old Covenant. The humans "army" does not demonstrate the professionalism, prestige, honor, courage, or commitment that the "Marines" do. So we WILL take this base and then try to establish contact with other disbanders of the Old Covenant. Our test on the human base a few units ago proved how simple it will be to take this base. Fifty grunt regulars were sent to rendezvous with me at that hill top. What they didnt know was that it was occupied. These pathetic grunts were as surprised by the presence of the enemy as the humans. Still without proper leadership and weaponry they almost took the base. Now two hundred grunt elites under the great Szant's leadership and equipped with the latest grunt weaponry will definetly take the base. Lets go conquer this pathetic human planet FOR THE NEW COVENANT"
Hundreds of barks and squeals roared through the ranks. Szant smiled, if you could call it, that and moved out.
Solar was checking his gear and going over plans with his Marines and Rangers. "All right men when we land i want squads one thru four to reinforce the perimeter. Squads five and six will come with me to rally point charlie. From there we will..." Solars instructions were interrupted by firebase alphas comm tech. "SSgt Solar we got covenant attacking our base sir. Theyre rippin the perimeter up man. Were not gonna last much longer out here. How much longer till you get here sir." The rattle of rifle fire and the screams of men were to be heard int the background of the transmission.
Solar, shocked by the sudden news, looked at the map on his HUD and figured the ETA. In the calmest voice he could Solar 220 responded to the frantic soldier, "Private we'll be there in three minutes. Do you think you can hold them off that long?"
"We got them for three minutes, sir, thats no problem. But they've already taken the landing pad. You'll hafta come in behind the HQ. There is an open field where we play football sir."
"That'll be fine. Good luck soldier."
Solar turned to his men and they had no idea what was going on. Solar then realized he had been interrupted in the middle of his battle plan and none of his Marines or Rangers heard anything about what just happened.
