Chapter 4 Dead Marines September 21, 2552
Taylor, Ross, and Mason where all dead and Kris was wounded badly. We had two Warthogs so that was good and we also had a place for cover in case we where under attack
" Hey Serge?" I said to Sergeant Johnson.
" A Pelican can only carry one Warthog, how did it manage to get two onboard?" I said to him in a curious tone of voice.
" We found the other one near another Pelican a few miles where we landed, the Pelican was empty but outside of it was more blood than you'd ever see." He said. I sort of gave him a nod in acknowledgement that I knew how they got the other Warthog. Just then a transmission came over my HUD.
" Who ever can hear us where under attack by Covenant! There are at least forty of us but there are about hundred of them! We need assistance! We are at a bluish platform!" Then the transmission went dead.
" Did everybody here that?" I asked to both of our groups. They all nodded. We got in the other we got our stuff together and started to make our way to the Warthog. We could do nothing for the dead right now. We'd have to go get them later. I got in the drivers seat, McKay got in the front with me, Parker got on the gunners mound, Johnson got on the right side, Samson got the left side, and Jackson and Kris law on either side, under the gunners mound. Then we drove off to help out our fellow comrades.
I got a transmission lock on the signal so I had a good idea where I was going. There was a map displayed on my HUD with in 200 miles of the terrain. The good thing was about our HUD's was that whenever it went some place new it scans the area over and then it display's a map of the area. It maps out mountains, lakes, rivers, oceans, deserts, plains, etc. The transmission came in from about 10 miles away. I just hoped we'd get there in time.
The map said we where about there. I looked around and there I saw the blue platform. It was a war zone. Blood and carnage was all over the place. Bullets and plasma was flying everywhere. I sped up the Warthog and so did Sergeant Johnson's group. The men in the gunners mound started to discharge their Jackhammers. We where gunning down the bastards. We heard the surrounded men yell in joy of our arrival. Just then am Elite jumped on the back of our Warthog and stabbed Parker in the right section of his chest. Parker was still not dead. He took out his M6D Pistol.
" You think you can kill me that easily you Covenant bastard." Lieutenant Parker said while coughing up blood. He pulled the trigger of the gun shooting the Elite in the head with the energy sword still in him. The Elite fell off the Warthog and tumbled around on the ground.
" I'm getting to damn old for this." Parker said as he fell off the vehicle.
" Stop, stop! The Lieutenant is down!" Screamed Kris. I stopped the Warthog and got out.
" Some else drive, Johnson get out and cover me and the rest of you go on ahead. We'll catch up with you guys later." I said to the Marines. I got out with Private Johnson covering me. He had his MA5B assault rifle out. I ran to Parkers body. It was a very slight chance he might of survived the stab and the role off the Warthog. I knelt beside him laying his head on my left knee.
" Sir, sir are you alive?" I said the Parker.
" Ehh…Hamilton…. don't worry about…me…ju…st…g…" Said Parker. Then his head fell sideways on my knee. I sighed and lade his body down on the ground. Just to make sure I checked his pulse. It was so faint I didn't even think I should pick up. But he was still alive so I through his body over my shoulder. Luckily I was strong enough to carry him. We ran across the battlefield dodging bullets and plasma. I put up my HUD.
" McKay I need a Warthog over here right away we have Parker. He's still alive but barley!" Just as I ended the transmission I the Warthog come driving over the terrain. McKay was driving and a man that I didn't recognize was on the turret. I placed Parker in a seat in the front. Johnson and I got on the side of the Warthog and drove off to safety.
" Where the hell is the rest of the crew?" I asked McKay.
" Jackson got out of the Warthog and a plasma grenade blew up right next to him. The shrapnel hit Kris and he died within a few minutes.
" And Samson?" I asked McKay.
" Samson is barley alive. He really shouldn't be living. It was total luck he's alive.
" What do you mean by luck?" I asked McKay.
" Samson was shot in the chest twice one hit his chest and another barley missed his heart. He's hanging on a string. There's no hope for him." Said McKay. He was silent. We go to the platform where we could receive cover. We got out while many where covering us. The platform similar to ours but this one had these sort of wall like structures around it. They where about 9 feet. We went towards the walls. There where men lying there some in pain and some dead. There where medics scattered all around the place. I took Parker out of the Warthog and took him over my shoulder and ran him behind the walls with me. McKay, Johnson and the other Marine followed. A Medic came to us right away. I told him what happened with Parker and he got tow other Medic to help carry Parker to another area. McKay and I got our weapons ready.
" McKay lets go." I said to McKay and we ran out from behind the walls and stared to fire.
