It Begins...

A very large elite jackal approached the podium. I silently waited for Jackor to begin speaking. Alongside of me was my two good friends from the war, Cindy on my left and Dave on my right. I looked at both of them and saw them both watching the intimidating figure prepping for the speech. I diverted my attention back to Jackor just as he began his speech. At first all I heard were barking noises much like dogs. But soon my earpiece began its translation.
"For peace to come about," he began, "We must set aside our differences and unite!" I took a quick look around and noticed there were many grunts and jackals about the room. Jackor paused for a moment and I noticed Cindy furrow her brow. I was as confused as she was. "What was going on?" I thought.
Just as I diverted my attention back to Jackor a large plasma explosion went of in the balcony. Soon, everybody in the theater was panicking then; the jackals pulled out their plasma weapons and began unloading into the crowd. Dave, Cindy, and I were the only ones that were panicking. I gave a look to Dave and all three of us began running to the nearest jackal.
The jackal didn't look soon enough to do anything about the three mad humans charging straight at him. Dave went for the knees, or appeared to be knees, whilst I took the upper body. The jackal was no match for the three humans. Cindy found a large rock from out of nowhere and bashed his head in. I took the plasma rifle and quickly "found" two more.
Quickly I gave Dave my first rifle and told him to take the right side. Cindy pulled the third from my hands and said she would take the balcony. That left me with the left side. Seeing the rear of an elite I took the opportunity and aimed right for the head. He fell in one shot.
There didn't seem to be any more in my vicinity so I went towards the exit fighting the panicking masses. Just as I got passed the double-door exit an empty corridor veered to the left. Taking a step away from the masses, I began quietly down the corridor. But then, an invisible force slammed on my chin and I fell to the floor like a rag doll. Looking up I saw light distortion like eating coming off of a flame. Then I remembered about "active camouflage" and how it tries to hide the humanoid from view. Then I noticed it began to shut off and soon colors appeared in front of me. Soon, I made out that it was Jackor the speaker from before.
"DAMN IT RON! WAKE UP!" the large jackal barked. There were several things wrong with this picture: mostly that I was violently shaking for no reason. I blinked and noticed Dave standing over me shaking me awake inside my tent.
"The covenants are attacking! WAKE UP DAMNIT!.
