“How close should we get?” Mariana asked. But before Kyanna could answer, Mariana gunned the engine, and drove past the fortification. Where she spun the Warthog out and drifted it into doing a 180.
Then as she drove past again she threw her unarmed Spike Grenade into the wall of the Covenant Fort. “Shoot that for me, would you?!” Mariana shouted to Kyanna. Which she figured would set off the grenade, and blow a hole in the wall of their fort.
“Hang on…” Mariana said to Kyanna, as she took evasive action with the Warthog, doing her best to stay behind the Wraith as it tried to turn around to counter attack them. All the while Kyanna was putting bullets into it’s rear end.
“Captain Butch, come in.” Mariana said in a com, hoping to reach him. "This is Sgt. Andrade. Your entire team are cruising down the Coastal Highway. May I ask for directions to get to you?, as fun as this joyride is.
“does she frequently become a statue like this?” Kyanna asked as she gunned down a group of grunts “and is she not operating your warthog turret? It seems like a terrible moment for it”
“Not sure really… she wasn’t talking a lot when we all met up.” Leo said as he hopped onto the back of the warthog. He pulled Sky off the turret and put her in the driver’s seat. He jumped on and proceeded to fire at any enemy that moved. “I hope she doesn’t do it again.”
“why would you put her in the driver seat you fool? If she is being a statue you should have kept her there because you could still drive away from the covenant and live, you have only made yourself a target for them to shoot since now you are not moving”
“I… um… crud… didn’t think that through.” Leo said as he jumped off. He put Sky on the back of the warthog and started to drive. A grenade landed next to where they had been.
“Leo, my hero.” Sky groaned as she fired at oncoming Banshees. Their Warthogs danced through the Covenant lines, bringing hell with them as they crossed through a checkpoint.
