~~~NOTE~~~
Sorry to any one who wanted to read the next part of my series but I have been caught up reading The Fall Of Reach. Damn that was a good book
~~~~~~~~~~~
0300 hours Covenant cruise ship, makeshift head quarters, center of Jevan
"The city is ours" Kerod told the old Prophet sitting forward eagerly in his chair "what of the human base?" the Prophet asked. "Gone the humans are all dead" replied the Jackal "Good, then all is going to plan". The Prophet sat back in his chair with a small grin on his face. "Um but there is one thing sir" the Jackal said with unease. "And that would be" the prophet said patronizingly "well um we found all the Spartans that were in the training facility and they are now dead although we lost a lot of troops to them, actually a lot is an understatement and..." He was cut short by the prophet "get to the point you little worm'. "a-a-Ok well we had some engineers salvage the human military computers and well they said that a crew of Spartans was heading to a small hidden base a few hours south-east of here" Kerod stopped and took a step back, the prophet just stared at him waiting for him to continue. " Well we sent a team of banshees and a platoon of Jackals to the base and they took the humans out but there were no Spartans." "So where are the Spartans!" the prophet was impatient and glared at the Jackal "um well um that's the um thing we don't exactly know, one of the banshee's reported seeing a group of lights on its way back to the city which could have been the surviving humans camp but when a team arrived there was no one there ". As soon as Kerod had finished the sentence the prophet clicked his fingers and the two Brutes who had been standing next to him pulled there plasma pistols out and pulled the trigger. The jackal fell to the ground without his head
0325 hours Covenant patrol team, Outskirts of Jevan
the red Elite woke from his dream "Captain Teedak here" the grunt on the other end of the radio asked. "None, no nothing all day" "Can do, if we see them they wont last long" replied Teedak. Teedak was the leader of a scouting team that consisted of 10 grunts 5 jackals and two blue Elites. Teams like his were patrolling all over the city.
The Elite woke the rest of his team and told them to keep watch around the area.
0330 hours Chad's crew, Outskirts of Jevan
"Wait" Chad said over his built in radio "Cut the engines". Private Angus switched the Warthog off "I see something on my motion tracker" Chad was looking at his motion tracker it showed 6 or seven red dots, they would have been about two blocks up and around the corner. "Get ready to engage" The Chief got off his bike and stared to creep forward down the half destroyed road, he looked right and then left and something caught his eye. About two meters to his left was something moving on the ground. He crept forward and he realized it was a grunt, fast asleep on the ground, it was rising up and down he could hear it breathing. He was now right next to it. He unclipped his assault rifle an raised it above his head and brought it back down with a crack, the little Covie's skull was smashed in, it fell forward from his sitting position. Blue blood poured from its head and the Grunt died silently on the cracked pavement. Chad clipped his rifle back to his side and searched the dead Grunt for Grenades, he found two. Chad turned to Chipper (the other Spartan in the crew of five) and through him one of the plasma grenades. "Ok team" The Chief had a plan "Maxwell climb up the pile of ruble and find cover to snipe from" "Yes sir" The marine said as he snuck off towards the destroyed building. "You Angus take cover behind that car over there and don't shoot till I tell you" "uh ok sir" Angus walked over to the car near the Warthog which was parked in the right lane of the busted up road. "Fisk I want you to stay in the gunner seat of the warthog but stay down I don't want them to see you" "Sir" He said in his deep voice. " And Chipper you take that side of the street ill take the left. With that they all split up and went to there positions, the Spartans were crouching in the darkness against what was left of the buildings on either side of the road. " Ok here they come" Chad said as he saw two Jackals shields come to life as the creature walked around the corner about 35metres up the road.
They waited as the creatures walked down the road toward them followed by four Grunts. Chad could hear them talking in their strange language, but then a grunt spoke in English "Now where is he I told him to come down and search this road about twenty minutes ago" "He probably fell over and knocked him self out knowing him" another grunt said with a laugh.
Chad looked over to Chipper and signaled him to engage the enemy. A light winked in Chad's HUD telling him that Chipper was ready.
The Covenant were in a tight bunch, two Jackals in front and the four grunts trailing by a few meters.
Chad sparked his plasma grenade and through it at the Jackals, Chipper did the same, Chad's grenade landed right on the Jackals foot and Chippers bounce passed the Jackals and toward the Grunts. A Grunt saw Chad's grenade land on his team mate and yelled "GRENADE" then dove for cover but he dove straight onto Chippers bouncing grenade.
The jackal ran around for a moment shaking his foot and screaming until both grenades exploded and killed both Jackals and two of the Grunts.
Fisk started the chain gun and filled the other two Grunts with the hot bullets from the chain gun.
Chad stood "Good work men"
Piece of cake Chipper said with confidence
0345 Covenant Patrol
"Come in"..."Come in"......"Damn no answer, what do they think they are doing" Teedak was trying to contact the team he had sent to find the missing Grunt.
"Ok you two" Teedak pointed to the Blue Elites "Go down to where we last had contact with them and find out what's going on, Take those two Jackals and the rest of the Grunts I'm sick of looking at them. "Yes sir" the Elites said in their deep gurgley voices.
0400 Chad and his team
The Warthog rolled down the street slowly Fisk was swinging the gun from side to side looking for Covenant, Chad and Chipper walked in front guns at the ready.
"wait I think I heard something Chipper said. They all stopped and listened......
Nothing on my motion tracker "Chad told Chipper "Ok maybe it was nothing she said
They waited a few moments and decided to keep going. They took a few steps and seemingly out of no were jumped an Elite followed closely by two Jackals with shields ready. The Elite was right in the middle of road between Chad and Chip.
Gutsy move Chad thought.
The Elite turned and opened fire on Chad, but he was quick he dodged the bullets while firing back the Elites shields flared and took the bullets Chipper started to fire with her pistol. The Elite took the shots in its back; the bullets weakened its shields a lot, but this just made him mad.
The Elite turned to Chipper and hit her in the chest with all of its strength, her shield took most of the hit but it still sent her flying backwards through a half destroyed wall.
While the Elites shields were down Chad opened fire on his unprotected back and the rounds went straight through the creatures Armour. The Elite turned back to Chad and went to fire but sniper shot went into his head taking out most of his skull. The Elite fell dead. Chad dove behind a burned out car for cover from the Sprays of plasma the Jackals were sending his way. He turned to Maxwell who was up on one of the on balconies left standing on the wall and nodded in appreciation.
Chad turned back toward the Jackals and fired but the bullets just bounced off, as the jackals turned toward him a well-placed shot from Angus took out the Jackals arm piece and his shield died Chad jumped up and ran at them firing his assault riffle at shield less Jackal who was getting flung around from the amount of bullets speeding into his body, He was dead before he hit the ground.
Chad turned to the other Jackal who was firing as quick as he could at the charging Spartan, the plasma just hit his shield doing no damage.
Chad ran and jumped at the Jackal with both legs out stretched and kicked his shield with all his weight, Chad flared from the impact and Chad could fell the heat from the shield through his armor
The Jackal flow back and landed face down on his shield he screamed from the burning plasma shield. Chad raised his rifle and fire a few quick shots into the Jackals back, He stopped screaming and moving.
He felled pleased with him self and turned to his mates just in time to see a plasma grenade fly from behind him land on the Warthog.....
To be continued.....
