[Halo] New! Halo RPG Pt. 11

[Naked Crook]

============================================================= New Harmony – Planet Surface – Ruins of The City of Monastir – 1535 Hours - October 9th 2555 ============================================================= Xyrho promptly responded to Rah'jesh, when he heard the Spec-Ops Commander give an update on his status. Rah'jesh: Shipmaster Xyrho, humans and brutes! The Phantoms are here, but I'm afraid their now-known presence will attract much more of the degenerates! If you are unable to come to me, give me your coordinates and we'll be there. Xyrho: Hold your position, Commander! We are not far from the landing zone. We should be able to meet with you in mere minutes. Defend the Phantoms from these abominations! Do not allow them to inflict any unnecessary damage! Xyrho then looked at Director Vernette and Barrabus. Xyrho: We must hurry! These abominations are converging on our Phantoms, and they are attempting to deny our escape! Vernette: I don't doubt it! Vernette took a deep breath, and sighed. Vernette: Alright...we should make a break for it! If we fall back, and haul ass, we should be able to make it back to your Phantoms, and we should be able to escape. Xyrho nodded, as Vernette look at Barrabus. Vernette: OIrder your Honor Guards to fall back to the Sangheili LZ. THis is going to be close, and timing has to be perfect. Barrabus nodded, as he contacted his Honor Guards. Barrabus: Honor Guards...fall back to the Sangheili LZ. This fight is over! There is nothing more to be gained from fighting these abominations. Our escape is waiting for us! Do not delay! Cerberus, the Honor Guard Chieftain, responded. Cerberus: Understood, Chieftain. We will be there. Barrabus nodded, as he looked at DIrector Vernette, and Xyrho. Barrabus: My Honor Guards are retreating as we speak. We should do the same! Vernette: Alright...lets move it! As soon as Vernette gave the order, Corvo, Nova Team, and Cameron all stood up, as they began to fall back. Corvo: Cameron and I will keep tabs on our six. Nova Team, take point and clear the way if necessary. Director, stay between us...keep your head down. Vernette nodded. Barrabus: Xyrho and I will move on point as well. Corvo shrugged. He was not interested in arguing the point. Barrabus and Xyrho, on the other hand, took point with Nova Team, as the group moved quickly towards the Sangheili LZ. It only took a few minutes before the group was able to make visual confirmation with Rah'jesh and his Elites. They could see that The Spec-Ops commander was holding the line against the Trust clones. Xyrho: There they are! Quickly...before The Trust breaks the defensive line! As Xyrho said this, he broke out into a full sprint, running towards the Phantom. Barrabus followed behind. Nova Team moved a bit slower towards the Phantoms, as they kept their sights locked on the clones. However, Nova Team held their fire, as they did not want to attract any attention. They were not going to shoot unless they absolutely had too. As Xyrho and Barrabus reached the Phantoms, Barrabus' Honor Guards began their approach from the opposite direction. With the clones full attention on the Phantoms, the Honor Guards were able to rendezvous at the Phantoms without much incident. Finally, Corvo, along with Nova Team, Cameron, and Director Vernette were able to reach the Phantoms. With everyone present at the Phantoms, Xyrho spoke up! Xyrho: Get onto the Phantoms! There is no time to waste! Xyrho paused. Xyrho: Rah'jesh...provide cover fire! As Xyrho said this, Barrabus and his Honor Guards jumped into one of the Phantoms. Director Vernette, and his entourage jumped into the second Phantom. Vernette: Give the Spec-Ops commander some covering fire! Let's give them a chance to get aboard! Hit those clones with everything you have! Barrabus snarled, as he pointed hios Spikers forward, as he too provided cover for Rah'jesh, Xyrho and the other Sangheili. Vernette: Come on...lets go, lets go!
