[Hells Sniper]

Jacob shook his head, taking a few steps back. Being growled at by brutes and elites had been part of his job for more than fifteen years, he wasn't afraid of Anaconda, he wasn't afraid of Nighthawk anymore either. He was only afraid of what these people could do to his family, he was only afraid of what they could do to the people he loved after he was dead. Jacob: You don't realize that the moment Nighthawk...or the UNSC sees me, I am a target, Anaconda. Jacob shook his head again, he tried to figure out what he could say. Jacob: I am done helping the Trust, I am done helping them and I can promise you that. But, the moment Nighthawk sees me, the moment he tries to kill me, I have to fight back. Not for these people, not even for the UNSC, but for my family. I have to be alive. I have to STAY alive if I want to protect them. Jacob paused, he was clearly distraught and trying to find the words necessary. Jacob: My word may mean nothing to you right now, but if I wanted to help the Trust I wouldn't have let you out. I would be over there fighting with them. You just have to understand, Anaconda, Nighthawk is going to try and kill me; and I have to try and protect myself. Jacob paused again. Jacob: I'll probably fail, he'll probably kill me the moment he sees me, but I have to try. Meanwhile: Lyle reacted the moment Cameron had jumped onto the catwalk as he retraced his steps backwards. By the time he came under fire from Cameron, he was in cover and could hear the conversation he was having with Hel. Lyle shook his head as he listened in and then it came to him, he could hear the agitation in his voice. Lyle activated a direct comm line to Hel and whispered. Lyle: Hel, keep him talking, keep him distracted. Below them, Savannah and Liam had both been thrown to the side, but were trying to quickly recover from the hits. Savannah knew she had down some structural damage to the cyclops' hull, including it's cockpit and Liam knew the same. All they had to do were coordinate their attacks. Liam recalled William and Emma back to his position and regrouped with them behind cover as they were under fire from Dark and other UNSC forces. They watched as the cyclops pushed the entire Trust line to little more than nothingness and watched as the UNSC line became more apparent. Liam decided to move his Spartans backwards and away from the main line, each of them falling back into the secondary armory of the Ulterior Motive. Liam looked around as he heard a howl. Liam: Does anyone have a visual on Anaconda? Marine: We do, sir! He's moving fast at checkpoint two! There's an ODST with him! Liam looked at Savannah. Savannah: Say again, ODST? Marine: Yeah, his armor is all bulked out, I have n--- The line cut to static as there was some yelling. Savannah tried again to reach him but nothing. Liam: Anaconda is moving too fast. We need to separate Nighthawk from that cyclops immediately. Everyone restock on ammunition and supplies. Liam turned around and sealed the armory door as he grabbed some more ammo for his DMR, he radioed Desmond. Liam: Desmond, Jessica, I am issuing an immediate fall back order. Stop what you're doing and get back to me, now! Ten Minutes Prior: Desmond and Jessica had formed up next to each other as they scanned the area. They stayed quiet as they reloaded their weapons and waited for something. They knew that there were six ODSTs in the immediate vicinity, but Desmond knew that at least one was wounded. Desmond: Thermal. Desmond and Jessica both activated their thermal and could see the four outlines of ODSTs huddled behind cover. One of them was hunched over another and Desmond knew. He moved his hand forward as Jessica started to walk. Desmond turned around and saw two ODSTs behind another wall, all six accounted for. Jessica wasted no time in jumping over the cover that Athios and Jaclyn were huddled behind. Wasting no time, Athios immediately engaged her and fired off two shells from her shotgun. Before the third one hit her, Jessica grabbed the barrel of the shotgun and pushed it to her left, as the buckshot hit nothing. Jessica ripped the shotgun from Athios' hands and whipped it across his face, sending him flying backwards into and through a wall. Jessica turned and saw Jaclyn charging her, firing her assault rifle at Jessica and draining her shields. Jessica ran at Jaclyn and drove her shoulder into Jaclyn's center of mass, sending her flying backwards into the wall. Jessica approached her and knelt down in front of her, picking her by the throat. Desmond on the other hand had turned into the doorway Carmicle and Paul were behind and grabbed them both, pulling them out of cover and into the open. Paul and Carmicle both turned and opened fire on Desmond, but his shields took the brunt of the damage. Carmicle and Paul both got back to their feet and started to separate, Desmond ran at Carmicle and slammed him into a wall sending several punches to his lower abdomen. Paul on the other hand had rolled over and out of the corner of his eye saw Jaclyn get tackled by Jessica. Paul turned around and ran at Jessica's location, yelling at her. Paul: Get off my sister, you bitch! Both Desmond and Jessica looked up at Paul, who was running straight at Jessica. Paul jumped into the air to jump on top of Jessica, but before he even made it to her, Desmond fired off his Socom. The round from his Socom soared through the air and as soon as Paul jumped, it hit him in the back of head. The round went clean through Paul's head, exiting out of his eye and through his visor. Paul's body kept going through the air as it hit Jessica hard, she released her grip from Jaclyn's neck. Paul's body kept going after it hit Jessica, slowly skidding to a stop. Jaclyn gasped for air as Jessica's hand fell off her neck and she slowly got to her feet, running into cover as Jessica recovered. Desmond on the other hand had held Carmicle tight to the wall with one hand, but unknowing to him, Carmicle had reached for his magnum and started to fire it off at Desmond's chest. His shields quickly drained as the shots began to hit his armor at point blank range. Desmond backed off, before lifting Carmicle and tossing him down the hallway. As Desmond started to walk, he heard Liam over the radio. Liam: Desmond, Jessica, I am issuing an immediate fall back order. Stop what you're doing and get back to me, now! Desmond: Sir, we ar-- Liam: Now, Desmond! Secondary armory! Move your ass! Desmond: Yessir! Desmond looked at Jessica, who immediately started to run towards his position. She stepped right on top of Carmicle before she regrouped with Desmond. The two of them ran down the hallway, intent on regrouping with their friends and leaving Suicide Squad disorientated and in bad shape.
