As the last Grunt was slain, the remains of Fireteam Toxic ran toward a dark icon reading East Armory, appearing on their heads up displays.
“And with that, Blue team’s beach is clear!” Tucker reported.
“Level Two REQs available” Sarah’s voice reported. The words flashed at the bottom of their HUDs.
“Follow me.” Sky said to Leo and Grace, and the three made their way to the Armory. As they emerged from a cave near it, Grace in the lead, were met with a Banshee bomb, sending the three flying. Grace had been killed, but Leo and Sky suffered some damage. Above, a single Banshee roamed the air above the Armory, preparing for a second strike. Elites from the top began firing upon them, forcing a retreat using thrusters. Then, they saw a Covenant controlled Ghost move to assault them.
Lobster’s shields where depleted, but with the beach clear he had a moment to calm down, as he began moving in the direction of his fellow spartans.
“I wouldn’t mind coming back here, looks like a perfect place to settle down”

Leo recovers after his small event of disorientation.
“Alright, I’ll attempt to head into the armory and begin taking elites out, you take care of the ghost.”
Leo charges into an elite at the door of the armory. He throws his grenade and begins to shoot behind cover.

Raptor continued to blaze a trail through the area, blasting away at any and all Covenant soldiers.
"How good is the weapons in there? he asked his teammates as he blasted the Ghost. Killing the rider and blowing it to pieces.

“Red Team has cleared the beach!” Tucker informed.
Sky peppers the purple Covenant scout vehicle with her AR, but notices the Banshee preparing to swoop down on Leo.
Grace respawns on the beach and catches up with Lobster as they head to the East Armory.
“Well, this will be fun.” Leo runs out in the open. “Over here!”
The banshee begins to shoot. Leo runs and once he hears the explosive shot he attempts to evade but it hasn’t recharged.
“Oh no…”
It hits him dead center in the back and sends him flying.

Lobster made it do outside the armoury, looking quite comic hiding behind a tree, reloading his rifle.
Santiago however didn’t make it, as a sneaky Red Teamer had taken the long way around the island and jumped him.
“Careful behi-”
He was cut of as he died.

Sky then watches the Banshee move for the Wraith.
“Oh no you don’t…” She mutters before drawing the flier’s attention with some AR bursts, and is swiftly killed by the plasma guns.
Grace arrives at the Armory behind the Wraith, peppering the enemy Spartan who killed Lobster’s position with AR rounds.
Sky took the time to change her loadout with an extended mag AR and kinetic bolt AR.
Raptor fired at the Banshee as it came in for another attack, engulfing it in the massive plasma blast. The Covenant flyer went spiraling to the ground, exploding on impact.
“Anyone got a plan?” Raptor asked over the Comm.

Lobster jumped out from behind the tree, thundered across the dirt road and into the building tossing a grenade, and unloading a clip of his AR. He boosted backwards and sidestepped, with just a sliver of health.
“I took out an Elite or two” He yelled to his team-mates “But I could use some help”

Leo respawns at the base. He grabs a new AR and heads back to the armory.
He runs right back into and begins shooting.
“Once I get my req points up I’ll be driving circle around them or beating them into the ground.”
He sees a nearby elite and tackles it.

“Take that Banshee down yet?” Sky asked.
“Enemy Spartan in the rocks at the East Armory. Banshee down.” Grace reported.
“Raptor, use the Wraith to clear the Armory so we can move in and take it.” Sky says, sprinting to the objective. “Killing the enemy Spartan is a priority, we need that position.” Sky ordered.
“Red Team is being quite sneaky, but so is Blue Team. This is really becoming quite the match, huh, Simmons.” Tucker commented.
“Yeah, and they haven’t even fought a boss yet!” Simmons said.
“Done” Raptor answered. Turning to the building and blasting the attackers. He then ran over a few remaining Unngoy.
“Alright, anywhere else?”
After hearing Sky’s order, Raptor turned the Wraith to the armory and the enemy team.
“CYA SUCKERS!” He shouted, blasting them to smithereens, or as close as you could in a simulation.

Lobster jumps back in with Leo, lifting a grunt of the ground, and smashing an elite into a wall with the smaller alien.
Santiago just happened to arrive back the armoury, in time to see Lobster’s fifth and sixth swings before he dropped the two corpses on top of each other. He hit a clip full of head shots on the last elite in the armoury, and walked into the building, helping with the capture.

“Everyone, on the Armory. Don’t let that Spartan take it.” Sky commanded. “Raptor, get some artillery on the Spire. They’ve definitely got nastier stuff up there.” The leading Spartan finally reached the Armory.
“Seems Sky is on to the simulation. Care to elaborate, Simmons?” Tucker said.
“Yes. In the famous Battle of Installation 04 and 05, the contingent of Sentinels turned on the Master Chief. Now with the upgraded weaponry of Gamma Halo, the Sentinel Swarm will be quite formidable, two Super Sentinels added into the mix, each considered a boss worth 25 VP.” Simmons explained as the ominous orbs could be seen from the East Armory.
Raptor headed to the Spire. Blasting as he went, he then proceeded to ram a few more Elites as he reached the target location.
“Sentinels huh? I have eaten things that looked more scary” He grinned. Blasting at the opposition.

The heavily shielded Super Sentinels rained missiles on Raptor’s tank, causing some armor to burn away.
“Raptor, pull back!” Sky watched from the top of the armory as smaller Sentinels burned holes with their upgraded beams. As Sky gave the order, the Armory finally turned blue, signaling their control.
“Level Three REQs available.” Palmer’s voice reported.
“Everyone, arm yourselves with Kinetic BRs. They should prove effective on Sentinels, if I’m correct.” Grace suggested over comms.
“And Blue Team has taken the Armory.” Simmons reported.
“Oh heck!” Raptor yelled, pulling the vehicle away as another missile hit the Wraith, causing it to explode, Killing Raptor.

Sky quickly dashed to the REQ station, swapping her current AR for a BR.
“We don’t have Kinetic weapons yet.” Sky corrected Grace.
Raptor respawned, adjusting his helmet and charging after his teammates. He turned around as a Banshee came diving at him, blasting missiles. He quickly jumped up and grabbed the wing of the flier.
“This is gonna go down in history as the dumbest idea ever” He sighed. Throwing himself onto the cockpit and yanking the pilot out.
“Alright Sky, I have a Banshee” He said over the comms as he flew to the Sentinels.
