[Halo] New! San Angeles RPG

The seconds ticked by as Norton waited patiently in front of the EMP patch to finish up. Soon, the patch gave a soft click to signify that it was finished and Norton detached it from the door. Taking a few steps back, Norton gestured to Conner to give him the all clear. With tense hands, Conner pressed the console button to open the door. Rick, with his rifle in hand, stood ready to take aim. Whatever waited them behind that door, Rick would be ready to open fire on it. I just pray there isn't, Rick thought.

The door opened. A small, round object landed infront of Rick. Before giving anyone time to react, it explodes, giving everyone whom had their eyes laid on that direct some moments of blindness. Series of gun shots comes out from the door after the flash. Cromwell brings his right arm infront of his helmet visor in an vague attempt to block out the flash. A bullet from a M6C grazes his left arm, instinctivly retracting himself backwards. Leaning onto the wall while quickly receiving his vision back, grunting outloud in pain, he speaks into the COM. "Sergeant, I'm blind, what's happening?!"

“We've been ambushed Lieutenant! It seems, based on the gunfire I am hearing, that they expected us!” Jade called out, heading towards the location of the door with her team following behind her. Ordering her team to keep up their guard, Jade rushed forward to provide back up and a way of retreat for the 4 ODSTs ahead of her. Norton, blinded by the light, let out a gasp of pain as he felt bullets riddle his body. He heard the sounds of bodies dropping and he knew that Conner and Rick had fallen. With the last ounce of his strength, he turned and shoved Cromwell with his body, sending the lieutenant out of the door way and into the corner. Norton smiled as he fell to the ground, regretting nothing.

Dangerus grunted as he acknowledged Xyrho's answer, but he quickly turned to face the Trust hostiles. Dangerus took note of the two Spartans wielding gravity hammers and scoffed as his brutes formed up behind him. He took a few rounds to his chest, but his shields held as the elites began to fire on the Trust. Dangerus walked forward, dragging his gravity hammer behind him. He lifted his hand and pointed to the two Spartans. Dangerus: Do you think you know how to use that thing? He began to run into a sprint, charging directly at Tyr and Freya. He came under fire from all directions, but his brutes began to fire back taking most of the gunfire off of him. In an instant he swung his hammer above his head, jumping into the middle of Tyr and Freya, he slammed his hammer down and sent them each in a different direction. Dangerus scoffed as he lifted his hammer and growled loudly. Meanwhile: Liam, Desmond and Jessica got back to their feet as the Cyclops circled around the group of Spartans. Liam stood straight as he looked at Desmond and Jessica. They all nodded. Jessica immediately diverted the cyclops' attention as she ran across the corridor, firing two rockets. As soon as she began to run, Liam and Desmond circled around the cyclops and ran straight for it's legs. As the Cyclop dodged the rockets both Liam and Desmond impacted it's right and left leg, stumbling it. This gave an opportunity for Hammer Team to move in as Jessica reloaded her rockets.

Voro looked at Xyrho, and then at Dangerus. He watched as the Chieftain rushed into battle. Voro hesitated at first, as it went against his first instinct to ever provide any sort of support for a Brute. However, Voro realized that he did receive a direct order from Xyrho, and he was well aware that Xyrho would not tolerate any infighting given what was at stake. Voro sighed, as he began to move forward; his plasma rifles raised, as he laid down a barrage of plasma fire at the Trust Marines and ODSTs that had accompanied Tyr and Freya into battle. Voro: I will focus my attention on the "unclean". Chieftain...focus your wrath on the Demons! Voro moved between the Brutes, so as to get closer to the front lines, to get a more clear shot of the Humans he was doing battle with. Xyrho, on the other hand, had given his shields enough time to recharge. He was about to rejoin the battle when he a small light on his wrist began to flash. Xyrho knew what this was. He raised his wrist, as a small holoprojection of the Ulterior Motive appeared. On the projection was a single red light which indicated the location of the only piece of Forerunner tech on the ship. Xyrho: The construct has been located! It is on the lowest deck of this vessel...possibly another hanger bay. Vanguard's acolytes may be trying to evacuate the construct from this vessel! We must hurry! As Xyrho said this, he noticed that Dangerus had just engaged two Spartans in battle. He scoffed, knowing full well that Dangerus was going to be difficult to pull from this battle. Meanwhile: Down in the Prowler Bay, Cameron quickly carried out his orders, ashe charged into the Prowler bay, making a B-line towards Nova Team. As Cameron charged at full speed towards Nova Team, he fired his weapon on them, forcing them to fall back to whatever cover they could find. Anubis: Son of a bitch...SCATTER! Don't let the Spartan get close! All four members of Nova Team broke formation, and moved in four different directions, in an effort to completely draw Cameron's attention on one single individual, while the other three Nighthawk and Anaconda, on the other hand, made a B-line towards Vanguard's Durance shell. However, before they could even get close, they came under fire from Black 1 and Black 2. Black 1: Black 2...get close! Black 3, 4...get that damn box to the Prowler! Docs...keep your heads down! As Black 1 and Black 2 fired, Nighthawk slid behind a supply crate, but Anaconda kept charging, allowing his shields to absorb most of the incoming fire. Black 1: Lost sight of Nighthawk...Fucking shoot the Brute! Nighthawk took this as his queue, as he rolled out from cover, and took aim at Black 1 and Black 2, as he fired both of his Magnums at the two ODSTs in rapid succession. Nighthawk: Anaconda...get that damn Durance shell! I will deal with these two guys! Black 1 and Black 2 were forced to bring their attention back to Nighthawk, but they both took a round right in their chest plates, as they both fell back to find cover. Black 1: Damn it...those guns hurt! Black 1 scoffed, as he looked at Black 2. Black 1: Rush the bastard...take him down! Get close...kill him... Black 2 nodded, as he waited for Black 1 to give the signal to move. Meanwhile: The Cyclops took a moment to recover. Once it had, it turned a full 180 degrees, turning right around, and using its left arm, performed a lateral swipe, slamming both Liam and Desmond into the corridor walls in but a single movement. Once the impact had been made, HAWK began to speak. HAWK: You are going to need to do better than that to take this puppy down! With tactics like this...I am surprised you manage to kill anything at all... With the back of the Cyclops now turned to Jessica, and the rest of Hammer Team, HAWK, once he had made impact with both lyle and and Desmond, began to turn around, to face Jessica and Hammer Team once more.

Pushed against the corner, Cromwell hits the corner with his back first. Having most of his sight back, he unfortunately has to pay witness to the death of the three ODST's. The three he had ordered to check the door, resulting in their deaths. Seeing the TRUST ODST's advance through the entrance, not noticing him. Clearly amateur marines in ODST uniform. He'd bring up his MA5C assault rifle, letting hell down on their backs, taking several down. There'd still be more inside the entrance, now knowing where he is. "Take this, TRAITORS!"

[ShayNanigans]

The rapid rattling of bullets could be heard as Jade and her team neared the corner. Through the com link, Jade spoke with a firm voice. "Lieutenant, fall back!" she ordered, putting aside rank as she ran towards Cromwell's position. They would be severely outgunned by the enemy and, judging by the sound of it, they outnumbered them as well. How many more traps lay in wait for them? With only one concussion grenade, Jade couldn't afford to simply lob it into the door way, for fear that it would attract unnecessary attention.

[Orcaid123]

"Can't do, Staff Sergeant. The bastards inside will simply shoot me down. Toss that concussion grenade of yours infront of the open entrance, I'll face the corner to evade the concussion. I can peek-shoot them while they're blind!"

[ShayNanigans]

"I trust you," Jade answered back, gripping her grenade then swiftly rounding the corner to throw it at the oncoming gunfire. With all her strength, she lobbed it as far as she could, aiming directly at the middle of the group. The blast was deafening as a shockwave rocked the group. Those caught in the blast were met with a force that would rip them from the inside. From behind, Jade's team assisted the lieutenant, offering cover fire as they took care to avoid wasting their remaining supply of ammunition.

[Orcaid123]

Turning to face the corner as the concussion hits, he'd still feel it explode, though it dosen't pay him much attention. Counting four seconds after the explosion, he'd peek about the corner of the entrance, with a fully loading MA5C, he'd rain hell on them, bringing them down one by one. "Excellent toss, Staff Sergeant! I think it's clear, for now!
