Chapter three: Real chaos?
A loud beep ringed loudly in the ears of Axim, Kazama and their Marines, a huge mortar had just impacted and everyone was knocked over. Trough the beep another sound became clear, a sound of crashing and ramming. Axim opened his eyes and looked around, than he saw what it was.
"Drop-pods!" He shouted, as they where being surrounded by just that, one person pods that where made to survive high impact and leave the person, or creature inside alive. Soon they all opened up, and while Axim thought elites would be poring out it seemed they had be slightly enlarged and brutes fitted in, as those where the foes they now had to deal with. Axim got up as fast as he could, a bit disorientated he noticed the indicator of his shield being down. He grabbed a weapon from his back, it had slipped his mind what it was but as he held it in front of him instinct kicked in and he opened fire with his battle rifle. They where surrounded and infiltrated, most of the marines where still on the ground and some where in no condition to get up. The sound of rockets indicated that Kazama was back on his feet and some rifle fire indicated some marines now where as well. Than came the sound of the brute weaponry, spikers, brute shots, and even some brute hammers where in use along side with spike grenades.
Axim shot a brute in the face, destroying his head dress and taking a eye and a yaw out. The brute went down, till alive but unable to fight. Axim turned to the next one, just to the right and a bit further away. He managed to nail the brute with a plasma grenade and it was launched backwords, its guts blown away. Than a brute with duel brute spikers came into view, shooting both his weapons at Axim he was aiming perfectly it would seem as Axim took allot of shots, but to his relief it seemed hat he already had his shield back, that must have slipped his attention, though it was now halfway deleted again. In the deception of his shield being down he had returned some loosely aimed rounds, luckily one shot hit the brutes left hand, dropping the spiker. Another few shots entered the chest but a brute, even more than a elite, did not know the meaning of ceasing fire to treat the injury and kept on shooting with his other weapon, picking up the weapon that he had dropped. Than a few good shots hit the chest on the right places and the brute went down, dying before hitting the floor. Suddenly a 'Waugh' shout was made by a brute behind him, meaning one thing only. He duck and a brute hammer missed his skull by inches. He turned around and shot the brute in the arms, devastating a elbow and breaking some more bones. The brute held on to the hammer with a single arm as he let it hit the ground. A painful attempt was made to lift it up again but than the sound of some more bones breaking made the brute stop. Than the brute charged at Axim, dropping his hammer and trying to stab him with his rhino-like helmet. Axim dodged the brute and good a clear aim at the brutes back, opening fire and destroying the spine. A rocket passed axims view and took out another brute, Kazama had depleted his missile pod and slammed a brute with it before throwing it at another one that went down and had a hard time getting up.
Kazama grabbed the hammer Axim had put up as free to grab from the ground and countered another hammer, pushing it back and slamming the other hammer wielding brute in the face and it dropped to the ground. Axim had his mark set, a brute shot wielding brute was picking on the few marines to survive for so long and he didn't like it. He ran up to the brute from behind and bashed him in the back of the head. The brute went down but upon landing he rolled over and slashed his brute shot at Axim in a melee attempt. Axim went backwords in all force, the blade on the weapon engaged from left to right and it left a scratch on his visor, a centimeter closer and it would have broke, possibly sending sharves into Axims eyes. The sight of the huge blade from as close up as could be made him fall on his back like rocks had been but behind his feet as he walked back. He landed on the ground but as the brute got up Axim rushed several bullets trough the brutes helmed into the lower yaw and into the brain. A plasma explosion was the last sound of battle so close by and Axim realized they had survived this part of chaos.
As Axim got up and found Kazama to be unharmed he counted his marines, only six left, they began with a fairly large group. Than he noticed a Hornet flying over them high in the air, it was burning and a fuel rod impacted the left rotor, it became unstearable and went for earth, disorientating he pilot far before impact by its almost random tumbling and turning by the single rotor. Than Axim saw the source, three Banshees flew by in the same direction the Hornet had gone before crashing. The sound of the Hornet impacting seemed nearby, but so did the explosion that took away the hope of a survivor.
"Lets get back to our mission, this path leads straight for the Scorpions we are suppose to meet, so lets walk it, and hurry up a bit." Kazama said, looking at Axim for agreement that was quickly given as it would have been his words exactly. But as they began walking a fuel rod impacted only meters away from the group, the Banshees had spotted them, and as soon as they did five more came into view, clearly being called in for backup. The group split up to run for cover, staying as a group now would be deadly with one good fuel rod. Large amounts of plasma where fired on the group as they split up and some attempts to aim a fuel rod where made. Axim went into a deserted and blown up window relieved of all color it might have once had. He ran up the fragile stairs only just able to hold him as he analyzed the cracks and holes right to step only on the safe ones and as he got to the second float he looked trough what once was a window. He could see the banshees flying low to the ground, some searching for targets, some shooting at hideouts.
"Mayday mayday, platoon assaulted by eight banshees requesting heavy backup at Five six eight." Axim shouted, looking up to the banshees that seemed to be all over the place. "I repeat, requesting heavy backup at five six eight, banshee attack!"
As he got the words out the roof of the building he was in collapsed under a fuel rod, blowing his cover. As he opened fire another Banshee did the same and knocked him of hit feet with yet another fuel rod.
"Eat dirt!" He shouted as he threw a plasma grenade at a banshee sticking it perfectly to the nose. He got up and scrambled Out of the building about to collapse. He jumped onto a school bus and ran of it. Behind it sat a marine looking scared to death.
"Keep focused." He said calmly, actually covering his own tense voice, things looked bad. Kazama sat behind a old human barricade and near a thick wall, Banshees had not yet spotted him but if they did his cover would be gone with the first well aimed fuel rod. Suddenly he saw pink plasma rush horizontal over the field, things just got allot worse, or perhaps not. He got out of cover and ran toward what to his expection was a Spectre, a Covenant vehicle with one covered of driver seat, one open gunner positing just behind and above the driver and space for two on the sides to sit. The gunner had spotted him charging at him and turned to him while already opening fire, melting away the ground that was once brick street, now only a smooth path with humbs all over.
Kazama strafed as best as he could to keep away from the gunners aim while closing in, Banshees all had their aim for him as well and the ground around him seemed like it had random exploding mines all over and the ground he ran on could be the very next to explode. Than he finally made it to the Spectre and jumped on, giving the Brute on it a molten face. He pushed him off and got in the seat. He turned to the sky as the driver did his best to make it hard for him to get a aim but one by one the Banshees went down until a Banshee decided to critical damage the vehicle. The driver got out and Kazama followed its lead. The Brute that was the driver tuned to Kazama and opened fire with a spiker but Kazama charged at him and dodged a swing, shooting the brute in the head. Just as his worries where still going a exploding in the sky stated the Hornets had arrived and the Banshees where down in mere seconds.
