[Halo] New! San Angeles RPG

[Naked Crook]

Nighthawk and Anaconda looked to their left and saw The Risk Takers forming up. Just then, they looked to their right when they heard Freyja utter her comment. Nighthawk: I think we are surrounded. Anaconda nodded, as the two of them back up. Anaconda: Our foes seem to be multiplying... Nighthawk: Yeah...and at an alarming rate as well. As Nighthawk said this, both Nighthawk and Anaconda ducked down, and moved towards the Cover of a Pelican, as they came under fire from The Risk Takers. Nighthawk: We need backup. Nighthawk paused, as he accessed hiss comm line. Nighthawk: Tye...is there anyone still out there capable of fighting? Tye promptly responded over the comms. Tyber: Not sure. I have lost track of Harmony. They may be out of commision. Last I saw, two of them were taken out by a Hammer. I am currently holding position just behind those Hammer Spartans. Cam chimed in over the comm. Cam: I am still here. After my fall, I managed to find a cozy spot to get my shields back up, and reload. I am good to engage on the order. I am able to engage The Risk Takers head on, if need be. Nighthawk sighed. Nighthawk: Is that it? Where the hell is everyone else? Where the hell is suicide squad and Diamond? Nighthawk scoffed. Tyber: Suicide squad has fallen back. I have not heard from Diamond. I know Dark is still here, but I cannot get a visual on him. Last I saw, Jesse got booted out of the hanger bay on the east entrance, and he was locked out. Only way out is the north entrance. Nighthawk: So that leave you, Cam, Anaconda, HAWK, and myself. Steep odds. Nighthawk sighed. Nighthawk: Cam, prepare to engage The Risk Takers. Anaconda, Tye, engage the Hammer Spartans. HAWK, break off, turn around, and engage The Risk Takers with Cam. Cameron: What about you? Nighthawk paused. Nighthawk: Cover me. I have an idea. Nighthawk began to reload his Magnums, as he gave one final order. Nighthawk: HAWK...warm up the engines on The Vulture. Skip the preflight, and get ready to get that thing in the air. HAWK: Acknowledged. Anaconda looked down at Nighthawk. Anaconda: What are you planning? Nighthawk: You'll see... Anaconda grunted, as Nighthawk bolted from cover. As he did, Cameron emerged from cover, and began to lay down fire on The Risk Takers. THe Cyclops had turned, as it began to walk towards The Risk Takers. As Cameron fired, he noticed Jessica draw her Rocket Launcher, and take aim. Cameron: Incoming rockets...possibly on the Cyclops. As Jessica fired, The Cyclops grabbed a large supply crate and tossed it right at Jessica. At the half way point, the create impacted the first rocket. Cameron then adjusted his aim, and fired on Jessica. Cameron: She may still have a second rocket chambered! Watch out! Just as Cameron said this, Jessica fired the second rocket. The Cyclops, however, managed to move out of the way, as the rocket missed its target, and impacted the security barrier on the far end of the hanger bay. Cameron: Reloading! Cameron returned to cover, as he began to reload. As he reloaded, he watched as the Cyclops moved towards The Risk Takers. Anaconda, on the other hand, had taken point against Hammer Team. He charged at Thor and Freyja, roaring as he ran at them. Anaconda jumped forward, as he slammed the Hammer down right between the two Spartans, sending them off in opposite directions. Tye, on the other hand, saw Nighthawk run towards his Vulture. As he ran, Tye saw Hel and Tyr catching eyes on Nighthawk, as they drew their Hammers. Tye scoffed, as he moved forward with his flame thrower, and fired the weapon. THe flames engulfed Hel and Tyr, causing them to lose sight of Nighthawk. Tyber: Come on you treacherous pricks! Come and get me! Tye simply kept the trigger down on the flame thrower, as he liberally set fire to the areas near Hel and Tyr.

Hel and Tyr looked at each other with the flames and their shields failing. Tyr: "Let's put this damn thing out of commission." The two Spartans swung in opposite directions, their hammers extended outwards. They spun to where the flamethrower was caught between the two hammers, being smashed to bits, the force sending Tye and the Spartans backwards a bit from each other. Thor and Freyja regained their footing and recovering their hammer and sword, respectively. Thor moved to engage the hammer ready. When Anaconda went for another swing, Thor met the swing with his own, the hammers connecting. The force barely pushed Anaconda back and Thor shifted back, but he didn't give up. All he needed was to keep Anaconda distracted. Across the hangar bay, Axlon had told Cadieux to help Robertson's wound stabilize while he rejoined Tye. Axlon watched the entire melee of a fight in the hangar bay and wasn't sure who needed the help most. He saw Ullr get up and recover, moving to intercept Nighthawk. Axlon figured that whatever was happening, Nighthawk was going to give himself, and hopefully the UNSC, the upper hand. Axlon fired off his battle rifle at Ullr. Several bursts hit Ullr dead on, his shield taking impact. Ullr ignored the shots when he entered cover behind a pelican, his shields regenerating.

[Dark-F137]

The medic had finished sealing Arman's wounds with Biofoam. "Wish I could do more..." He said as he rushed away, his handgun at the ready, trying to stay unnoticed as he went over to treat Robertson. He jammed his foot into the floor sideways, sliding to a stop before he kneeled down, acknowledging the ODST. "Lance Corporal Traiuson. Field medic." He identified, lookimg down at Robertson. "Lucky bastard. This is my last canister." He said as he unclipped another canister of biofoam from his belt. Jesse clipped his rifle to his back as he ran down the corridor, smashing his shoulder into a Trust Marine's chest. Jesse grabbed the Marine by the arms, bringing his head forward forcefully, headbutting him. The Marine recoiled, leaving Jesse to raise his leg and thrust it forward into his enemy's solar plexus, sending the Marine flying back a solid yard before landing hard on his back. "Fuck off." He said as he stole his enemy's shotgun, beating him once more on the head with the stock for good measure. "Down and out." Dark was running back toward the Hanger, not to assist Nighthawk, but to confront the Risk Takers. "Damned fools..." He said as reloaded his rifle.

[Hells Sniper]

Liam watched the events unfold as Jessica's rockets missed and Hammer Team started to engage. He knew he only had a few chances to put the cyclops out of commission. Once his team came under fire, he ordered them to fan out and find cover. Liam: Jessica, Emma, William, I want you three on that cyclops! Put it out of commission and then move in to help Hammer Team. Desmond, hit Dark where it hurts. Liam grinned as he watched Cameron reload. Liam: I'll handle Cam. The Risk Takers all acknowledged Liam's orders and began their assault. Desmond and Liam began to fire on Dark and Cameron's locations, respectively. Once both of their clips went dry, they charged. Desmond ran at Dark head on, hitting him square in the gut and taking him down. Liam on the other hand watched as Cameron took cover as he jumped over the sand bags and looked down, sending a quick right punch to Cameron's head, letting him stumble back a few feet. Liam: Cameron-Z091. Are we seeing Ghosts today or is that just me? Liam smiled as he jumped down from the sandbags and hit Cameron square in the head with the butt of his DMR, he watched as Cameron fell to the ground. Liam: What have you been up to the last twenty years? A few meters away, Jessica, Emma, and William began their engagement on the cyclops. William ran forward at an alarming speed while holding the machine gun turret. He began to fire the machine gun off as fast as it could, hitting the cyclop's hull over and over again. Jessica had meanwhile reloaded her rockets and moved off to the right, heading to flank the cyclops while Emma ran to the left, firing her shotgun from a distance as to get the cyclop's attention. As the three moved forward, the cyclops would have to engage someone. Strike Team Diamond had taken cover a few minutes prior and was they noticed what was happening, devised a plan. They had to protect the cyclops. Ice: Mason, Madison, I want you two on the big girl with the rockets, pin her down. Ice looked at two other ODSTs to his left and nodded. Ice: Snyder, Van Han, I want you two on the smaller one with the shotgun, keep her away from the cyclops. Ice looked to the sixth and final ODST in the group who was holding a sniper rifle. Ice: Kader, you and I are going to fill in where necessary. Let's strike Diamond! With their orders, Strike Team Diamond moved out of cover and began to fire. Mason and Madison began to fire on Jessica as she, reluctantly, ran to cover. Snyder and Van Han had to run to get to their target, while Kader and Ice moved in for a better visual of the field. Meanwhile: Savannah stood a few meters away from Jacob as she kept her rifle at her chest, reloaded and ready to fire. Savannah: I just don't understand Jacob, first you betray the UNSC, then you betray US. Where are you going to go? Jacob stayed silent, keeping his grip tight against the blade. He held it as his side with his Socom in his other hand. Savannah: It was Vanguard, wasn't it? Jacob shifted a bit as he took a few steps back, Savannah walked forward. Savannah: You spoke with him, you lost your cool, and you decided that what you did was wrong. That you decided wrongly. Jacob's grip tightened around the sword, as Savannah and him could clearly hear his kevlar stretching. Jacob was fuming. Savannah: You betrayed the UNSC. You betrayed ONI. You betrayed the Trust. And most importantly, something I know you would never dream of doing...you betrayed your family. Jacob shook his head as he yelled loudly inside the hangar bay, he ran at Savannah with the sword raised in both hands and ready to strike. Jacob ran straight at Savannah, intent on cutting her into pieces. Savannah saw Jacob charge and lifted up her assault rifle as she began to unload the magazine.

Dark fired back before tossing his weapon away as Desmond neared, readying himself. He brought one of his legs up as he went down, kicking Desmond away before standing and regaining his stance. He was eerily quiet as he stared Desmond down. Jesse meanwhile had blasted a Trust Marine away at point-blank with his stolen shotgun, sending him flying two meters into the wall. "Damn. I ought to use one of these more often." He said as he advanced toward the nearest Hangar door, racking the pump.

[Naked Crook]

Cameron shook his head, as he looked up at Liam. Cameron: I have been serving ONI faithfully, and loyally. I have been battling The Covenant, and I have been doing what I was trained to do. Cameron paused, as he began to climb to his feet, only to use his legs to swipe at Liam's legs, and bring him to the ground. As Liam fell, Cameron got back to his feet. He used his advantage to boot Liam right in the ribs. He hit Liam with such fiorce, that Liam slid across the floor, right into the sandbags. Cameron: What about you? I heard rumors that you had turned into treacherous slime, and that you are an embarrassment to the Spartan program! Concurrently: The Cyclops scanned the battle field, as it saw Diamond Team advance. HAWK knew that the biggest threat was Jessica, with her explosive ordinance in hand. He had to neutralize the threat. The Cyclops followed Jessica's movements, as it chased her to her point of cover. Once the Cyclops got close, it raised it's jackhammer, and slammed it down, throwing Jessica into the air, and out of cover. The Cyclops looked down at Jessica, as it moved towards her. HAWK began to speak as the Cyclops moved. HAWK: Your death is all but certain Spartan. Why do you resist? Would it not be easier to just accept your death with grace? Concurrently: Tye flew backwards from the hammer strokes from Hel and Tyr. However, much to their surprise, he got back to his feet. He reached to his sides, and pulled out both of his SMGs. Tyber: It is going to take a LOT more than THAT to keep ME on the ground. Tye began to fire both of his SMGs, with one SMG aimed at Hel, and the other SMG aimed at Tyr. Concurrently: Anaconda growled, as he began to push Thor back. Anaconda: You whelp...playing with a weapon that you by no means have any understanding of. You don't know the elegance of the weapon. You do not understand the MEANING of the weapon... Anaconda gave one final push forward, as he drove his knee upwards, driving it right into Thor's gut. This caused Thor to lose his footing, as he gave a strong push back, causing Thor to fly back and land on the ground. Anaconda growled, as he moved back, to keep both Thor and Freyja in his line of sight. Concurrently: Nighthawk continued to run towards his Vulture. He watched as Axlon engaged Ullr. Nighthawk chuckled to himself, as he saw how Axlon singularly engaged the Spartan. Nighthawk: Good man...

[Kairu]

Cadieux looked at the medic and acknowledged his help. Cadieux: "If you need more biofoam, he's got some. He's been pushing for training in field medicine too. Just make sure he's stable. We'll get him fixed up when we're back on a friendly ship. Permission to re-engaged, Sir?" Tyr and Hel cursed under their breath when Tye began firing on them. The two held the hammer's large end, using it as a minimal form of cover, enough for the shields to take the force in any other area. The two continued to push forward, Tye taking steps back in unison. Thor and Freyja watched as Anaconda continued to keep both Spartans in view. Freyja: "This animal's brighter than we thought." Thor thought for a moment to come up with a new plan. He then had a small idea. Thor: "Freyja, get back here, we're gonna try pattern Omega-7." Freyja liked what she was hearing. The two closed in on each other. Thor put his hammer away, becoming weaponless. Freyja allowed Thor to grab her by the waist and he used his jetpack to lift her and him off the ground. They rose up about four feet off the ground and that's when Thor let her go. Freyja activated her thrusters as hard as she could, overcharging them. She barreled forward, tackling Anaconda with as much force as she could. Thor moved in to close the distance firing his SMGs an Anaconda.

"Go get 'em." He said. "Cover me so none of those bastards get bright ideas." Nodding, he pulled the canister's nozzle away from the can, pushing it into the wound and spraying Biofoam into it until it was empty, the foam expanding and hardening, numbing the pain that was caused by the application. "Stay with me, dammit... There." He said as he tossed away the canister. "How do you feel?" He asked as Jesse peeked out from behind the Hanger door, his stolen shotgun lowered.

[Hells Sniper]

Liam laughed as he began to get up, using the sandbags as leverage. He turned to Cameron and stretched his back. Liam: Treacherous slime? Embarrassment to the Spartan program? Liam laughed loudly as he took a few steps towards Cameron. Liam: The leader of the Class 0's now leads no one. The only embarrassment here is you, the only treachery that has been done was done by you. Liam grabbed the shotgun off of his back in a quick swipe and fired it at Cameron, hitting him point blank with three shots, destroying his shields. Liam cocked his shotgun, but it jammed so he tossed it away. With Cameron still dazed, Liam charged Cameron and barreled into him, sending him crashing to the floor. Liam stood over him as he placed his knee on Cameron's neck. Liam: You're words mean nothing to us now, sir. Liam pushed farther down on Cameron's neck as he looked around the hangar bay, noticing Savannah and Jacob's entanglement. Desmond recovered from the kick rather quickly as he circled around Dark. Desmond smiled underneath his helmet. Desmond: We thought you were dead, Drake. After you and Cameron there disappeared off of our radars, we thought you both died. Desmond laughed as he raised his fists. Desmond: After all, Spartans never die, right? Desmond ran straight at Dark and slammed his fist into his helmet, sending Dark to the floor in a quick instant. Desmond laughed as Dark tried to get up, only for Desmond to slam his foot down on Dark's back. Desmond: They're only missing in action. Meanwhile: William continued to fire on the cyclops, aiming his turret as best he could to do damage to the most vulnerable areas of the cyclops. While Jessica tried to get away from the fire from both the Cyclops and members of Diamond Team, William kept up suppressive fire, every so often moving his turret at the ODSTs. Emma, had meanwhile circled around to get the cyclops from behind, but to her dismay came under fire from two more members of Diamond team. Reluctantly, Emma had to get into cover to get away, she had to take her time with this. Meanwhile: With Jacob charging, Savannah analyzed the situation. If she could get her hands on the sword, she would end Jacob's life and then go after his family once it was said and done. Savannah smiled as Jacob jumped into the air, spinning the sword downwards, but Savannah fired her rifle at Jacob, as a few of the rounds hit him in his lightly armored areas. Savannah rolled out of the way as Jacob headed downwards, his grip on the sword loosened and he ultimately embedded the sword in the ground. Savannah: You are not very well trained. Jacob glared at Savannah who was walking back towards him as he tugged on the blade from the ground. Jacob could feel the bullet wounds in his sides as bits of blood began to flow out of the holes in his armor. However, Jacob continued to tug on the sword, pushing himself through the pain attempting to pull it out before Savannah got to close to him. Savannah: A poorly trained, wounded, traitorous, little, tiny, man. Savannah stepped in front of Jacob and the sword, but Jacob didn't move, he held onto the sword with his hand. Savannah laughed as she punched him multiple times in the chest and then sent one strong uppercut, sending him flying back. However, Jacob's grip on the sword and the force of Savannah's punch made the sword fly out of the ground and into the air, skidding across the floor. Jacob looked up and saw the sword, he could feel his wounds getting worse. The fact that he never get Jacob shook his his head as he stood upwards and walked towards the sword. Savannah however, already moved towards it, but it was much closer to Jacob. Jacob grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it close to him as he used his spare hand to help him get up. Just when he thought he had the upper hand, he was shot in the chest multiple times by Savannah. As Jacob didn't have enough time to lift the sword, the bullets hit his armor one by one, embedding themselves into him. Jacob knew he was losing a lot of blood and he knew he only had one chance. Savannah laughed as she tossed her gun away and walked towards Jacob, grabbing him by the throat and lifting him upwards. Jacob began to gasp for air, but he kept his hand tight around the blade's hilt. Savannah laughed as she began to squeeze. Jacob's vision began to blur as he slowly lifted the blade and with the last bit of strength he had left. Savannah was too focused, too much in a blood frenzy to notice the blade moving to her stomach. Jacob used the last bit of energy he had left to thrust the blade into Savannah's stomach. Savannah gasped for air as she let go of Jacob. Jacob fell to the floor and crawled backwards as Savannah fell to her knees. She took several deep, exasperated breaths; trying to find the oxygen she needed. Jacob stood upwards, taking deep breaths as his wounds continued to bleed. He looked at Savannah as he grabbed the sword's hilt and pulled it from her stomach. Savannah took another deep breath and looked up at Jacob as she clenched her stomach wound. Jacob held the sword in two hands and looked at Savannah. Jacob: This is where you die. Savannah was about to lunge at Jacob, but Jacob swung the sword in a lateral swipe. The sword pierced through the first layer of armor and got caught midway through Savannah's torso. Savannah started to fall over as her torso was ripped in half. Jacob pulled the sword from her and swung it again. The sword, which was already hot from power consumption, began to get even hotter. Jacob slashed at Savannah's body and in one final slash, Jacob sent the sword clean through Savannah's torso. The sword going in one end and coming out the other. Savannah's upper torso fell backwards, as her legs and lower torso fell forward. She was split in two. Jacob looked at what he had done, he looked at Savannah and slowly his vision began to blur. Slowly, he began to lose consciousness from the bullet wounds. Jacob looked down at the sword in his hands until he fell to his knees. Jacob shook his head, trying to stay conscious he took a few steps towards the closest door. Eventually Jacob fell, dropping the sword. He kept crawling however, as he used his hands to move him towards the door. Jacob's vision continued to blur until he reached the wall, he shook his head once more as he attempted to grab the door handle, but his hand fell. He rolled over and took a deep breath as he passed out. Across the hangar bay, Liam had seen the whole thing. He watched as Savannah was stabbed and ultimately split in half by a two-timing ODST son of a bitch. Liam watched the entire scene unfold and he was left speechless. He didn't know what to do, and he knew his team was going to lose if they couldn't figure something out. Liam had to focus, here and now, he had to try and save what was left of his Spartans. Liam: All teams, this is Liam-Z074, fall back to Checkpoint Foxtrot. All teams fall back! That means you too Hammer Team!

[Dark-F137]

"Desmond..." He said, regaining his composure as he frowned, working against Desmond. His hands were on the floor, he was trying to lift himself back up, but ultimately stopped the effort. He was pinned. "Why?" Was all he asked. All he said. It was all he needed to say.
