Halo: Into the Howling Dark V

Catina stayed in cover until her shields recharged. “UNF*CKINGBELIEVABLE!” She also yelled as she popped out from behind cover and opened fire on one of the Promethean Soldiers with her shotgun. Blasting it’s armor off and causing it to make a strange sound as it lost it’s armor. With a second round fired at it in anger causing it to disintegrate.

Ana dragged sky to cover. “FOCUS!”

Leo fired at one and chipped parts of its armor. Athena joined in.

Sarah calmed down and hugged Mary tightly as something dawned on her mind. She covered Mary’s ears. “Wh-what if Tom doesn’t come back…” she said to Joanna.

Well these are interesting new enemies. Catina thought so Hermes could hear her. It’s too bad they attacked us from the second we met.

With a great amount of screaming, and overall far too much aggression, thirteen Vulcans fell from the sky. A great chorus of hammers ringing out as they hit first prometheans, and then the ground.

Joanna used one arm to bring Sarah closer. “He will come back, just like Blake will… We just have to believe… And stay strong for our kids…” Joanna said.

“Sorry, a little carried away.” Sky said. A Knight eventually teleported in.

Ambrose screamed in rage as he dived towards the knight, the blade of his axe coming down upon its arm. Within moments two more hammers impacted the construct, as Baldrich and Nora joined him.

A Streak of a small red light glided towards Daylight, coming closer and closer, before suddenly a soldier like Promethean appeared mid air, it was less armored then a soldier and showed no signs that it carried a weapon, but it’s speed was faster than any other class, it let out a high pitch scream as two energy sickles appeared where its hands would be as it flew towards Leo, and placed both feet on his chest and kicked himself off, sending Leo flying to the ground as it landed and crouched down, stretching its arms out to show off its weapon and let out another high pitched scream.

Sky pointed at the soldier. “Kill him!” She shouted.

Blake and Kaitlynn took aim with their weapons and fired, the assassin reacted quickly and leaped to the air again and landed between Blake and Kaitlynn, Blake tried to throw a punch but only hit Kaitlynn by mistake as it ducked and kicked Blake in the gut, before quickly deactivating it’s right sickle and grabbed Blake shoulder throwing him into Kailtynn.

Sarah nodded and hugged all of them tightly. “You’re right.”

Athena sprinted onto Leo’s back and jumped off his head. She dived towards the Prometheans with her hammer ready to slam down.

Kiana, Kyanna, and Beth jumped out of the Pelican and made for cover. Kiana had shotgunned a soldier as it teleported too close to her, blasting its armor off, it let out an odd screech as its orange bone like face was visible. Kiana didn’t let it distract her and punched the soldiers exposed face with her robotic arm, it let out another odd noise and disintegrated, leaving only it’s weapon behind.

Beth had focused fire on a group of crawlers, finding it difficult to shoot them, as they seemed to be able to go anywhere.

Kyanna had been firing at a group of soldiers when a phaeton began firing at her. “Kel” she said

“on it” he replied as Kyanna’s Gauss canon began to charge, she waited for the Phaeton to begin moving away once it’s guns overheated, she then stood up and took aim, firing her Gauss canon into it’s exposed core on the underside, and causing the phaeton to explode like a firework. The wreckage crushed a group of crawlers on the way down. Kyanna had been knocked down from the recoil, she quickly got up as two soldiers began firing at her.

“i’ll never get used to that recoil” Kyanna said as she pulled her energy sword off her hip and swung for a soldier, who teleported out of the way in time. The two were now behind her, their hardlight projectiles peppered into her back.

Kyanna got behind a rock to let her shields charge, both soldiers cam on either side of her rock, and she greeted them with her flamethrowers to the face. It did barely anything to them, but did momentarily blind them, allowing Kyanna to cut one in half with her sword, it disintegrated before her. She turned around to fight the other one and found that it had run away, perhaps to regroup with its allies.

The assassin watched the battlefield to guess its next move as it quickly teleported and skimmed the battlefield, there was so much to do, but it had to take out the most damaging weapon first, it quickly made its way to Kyanna and aimed at her Gauss Cannon, seeing that was a High Value Target, it’s small orb of light came flying at her as it appeared, and landed on top of her throwing it’s sickle into the gauss Cannon and attempted to rip the Cannon off.

Athena ran back towards Leo. She grabbed the SMG off his bag. She fired with him at the assassin.

The assassin had managed to damaged the gauss Cannon before it had finally died, it’s armor disgentigraing along with its weapons, it’s last high pitched screamed was louder before it finally faded away into nothing.

“Do not attempt to fire the gauss.” Leo and Athena said simeltaneously.
“Athena, go do a quick repair on it.” Leo said to her.
She nodded and ran towards Kyanna. “I need you to get behind cover. It won’t take me long.” She said as she fired.

Catina reloaded her Shotgun while still in cover, then ran out and helped with the fight against the Prometheans. She also started recording the pending battle in a small window on her visor.
While a group of two Soldiers and some Crawlers had their backs to them, Catina lobbed a Fragmentation Grenade into the front of the group, and even before it detonated, she grabbed the Soldier closest to her at the back of the group, throwing him over her shoulder onto the ground, then she hopped into the air and forcefully brought both her feet down onto it’s head, making it explode and disintegrate.

While off to the side on her own, another Knight appeared , jumping at Catina, it’s face plate opening and screaming at her. Causing her shields to immediately drop, and it attempted to slash at her with it’s Hardlight Blade, but being too close only caused the Knight to throw her. It did however open fire at her with it’s Scattershot.
The first shot only hit her shoulder pad with one hardlight beam. The second catching her right in her chestplate as she stood, making Catina stumble and turn backwards, her chestplate deflecting the shot, but losing some of it’s paint, and some fairly deep scratches were carved into the armor itself.
Catina didn’t hesitate to use her thrusters to evade to the side, and pulled Sao Paulo off her back, activating it as she also used her thrusters to increase her running speed, and close the distance between her and the Knight as quickly as possible. Slamming her Corpsemaker into the ground before the Knight. Causing it to jump back slightly, but doing no visible damage with the first hit.
As she was lifting Sao Paulo, the Promethian Knight grabbed the staff of her Corpsemaker and attempted to slash her with it’s blade a second time, Catina let go of Sao Paulo and ducked, but even with Spartan Time benefiting her, the blade still scraped across the top of her helmet, peeling a few metal shavings off of it.
Catina quickly noted how it clumsily held it’s blade out to the side as far as it could, and she took a quick hop and delivered a ground pound right before the Knight’s feet. The Ground Pound finally knocking some of the Knight’s armor off, causing it to stumble and turn backwards, and it in turn faced Catina and screamed at her again. So she delivered a second ground pound, then taking another short hop and delivering a third.
As Catina hopped into the air for the fourth consecutive time, the Knight teleported away, and she only slammed her first onto Kholo’s glassed surface.

Hermes. Could you please edit that video and make a historical record on some amazing discoveries? Those big ones can jump on a Spartan and immediately disable energy shields. While Shotguns, Grenades, Gravity Hammer energy waves, and ground pounds can damage them Catina thought specifically for Hermes to hear her, as she retrieved Sao Paulo, then her Shotgun. And finally she turned her attention back to the fight still going on, which had moved further away from her while she went one on one with the larger Promethean.

And to think. I was tempted to go a few rounds with Kyanna. But I decided to pass on team members fighting each other again, especially before knowing it would take a whole month to get here and fight these guys. Even with a whole month, one of both of us could have still been injured during this battle. @Bigthwomp @RuthlessSkate94

A Promethean soldier began shouting something as a large vortex began to form in the back of the battlefield, it’s light was hard to miss as something big was coming.

“Guys! We got reinforcements incoming!” Blake called out, switching to his sniper to get a better look.

Assassins then spawned around the vortex and readied their sickles, as the soldier pointed towards Daylight and talked to the group of assassins, giving them orders on what to do.
