Halo: Into the Howling Dark V

“I forgive you. And anyway. I would say I am better off walking, than trying to drive that.” Mariana said. “But it is there if anyone else wishes to try.”

The sounds got closer as suddenly a damaged mongoose went flying over the railing above the team as it came crashing down near the team, the gun sounds went up again, this time followed by the sounds of a sniper. The faint sound of yelling could be heard coming from above.

“Come on Monkeys! Show me what you got!”

Kaitlynn looked up at the ramp, seeing Blake’s IFF tag! “BLAKE!” She called out, as Blake crawled over avoiding fire. “Holy hell! About time I found.” A plasma flew by his head as he ducked.

Celosia left half a trail of bloody foot prints, as she made her way towards Sky. She carried the needler that belonged to a jackal, her knife in the other hand. She rounded a corner, just in time to see a brute crushing a grunt’s head. Several bodies lay around his feet, and one of the smaller aliens was running away, flailing its arms. The brute bellowed some cry of victory, and the fleeing grunt wailed about disrespecting the master.

The brute turned to look at Celosia, just as she raised the needler and began firing. The first purple shard lodged in its eye, the rest of the volley hitting a beefy arm that was brought up to block the alien’s face. As the brute howled in pain, Celosia chuckled. The instant the blaming shards combusted, and the brute’s arm was torn apart in a pink cloud, she charged forward, driving her knife up and across her enemies neck. A thick spurt of purplish red blood excasped the dying alien as it fell. It hit Celosia square in the face, covering most of her visor.

She dropped the empty needler, attempted to clear her visor, by pushing the warm blood of the glass. Mildly disgusted, she wiped her hand on her leg, and continued towards the waypoint.

Mariana drew her silenced pistol and crouch walked up the ramp, slowing her pace near the top. Upon getting a visual on the Brutes who followed Blake, she aimed carefully and dropped a Brute Minor with two bullets to his head.

Then she quickly fell into a prone position to avoid return fire from the other’s Plasma Pistols and Spiker Rounds. “Do the rest of you want to live forever?” She asked the rest of the squad who were present.

The ghost turned and fired on Mariana as it sped towards her. Blake grabbed his Sniper and aimed, in a attempt to kill the brute pilot he fired, but he had missed, the bullet only skinning the back of ghost.

“Kyanna!” She exclaimed as she crawled backwards down the ramp, with the Brute piloted Ghost firing plasma rounds over her head, then heading straight for her.

Blake sighed in relief to the help. As he reloaded his Sniper, putting a bullet into the chamber first, before loading the clip in, giving him a total of 5 rounds.

“Fine by me, but my helmet got damaged in the crash, comms are broken on it.” He said regrouping as Kaitlynn ran to hug him. She squeezed him tightly, happy to see her own brother was still alive.

“Kaitlynn, not now.” He said trying to pry her off
