[Halo] New! San Angeles RPG

Jade stared off at the man who ran down the corrider, then sighed quietly. "You heard him, move out!" she ordered, running after the lieutenant. "You are not to engage the officer directly. That officer is more than capable of taking us down. You will not rush blindly into battle. Remember your training," she instructed her team via com link, pausing only for a brief second, "and keep watch over the lieutenant's back." Jade purposely left out Cromwell's frequency, keeping only to her team. His brash decision in rushing after the officer proved to the sniper that he was a liability.

After three minutes jog through the corridors, Cromwell ends up to yet another corner. He pulls his shotgun up, slowly approaching the corner. Peeking around the corner, Cromwell sees no one, all clear. He spoke in the squad comm. "All clear, there's another entrance like the others up ahead. I'll approach alone this time, we're not losing anyone else to an ambush." Cromwell advanced slowly, keeping his shotgun up at all times. Eventually, he reaches the entrance, quietly placing himself beside it. "Going in." He presses the button at the side of the door, letting out a beep. The door opened, revealing nothing but stairs. Not even a single grenade. "It's clear, you're free to approach Staff Sergeant!"

[ShayNanigans]

"Copy that lieutenant," Jade answered, keeping her tone neutral. She followed behind, rounding the corner with her team tagging behind. Unease rippled through the ODSTs, stemmed from the attack by the officer. Death didn't stirr their unease, as the ODSTs didn't fear it. The unease was brought on by the Trust agents and what lurked ahead of them. They knew death but before them, the unknown waited. And the fear of the unknown crippled even the most courageous of warriors.

The ODST lieutenant took point as the others approached, securing the stairwell. He looked down and up, an endless pit of stairs that went up and down. He shaked his head, grunting. Cromwell moved on, looking at each sign that told the name of the specific floor. Minutes went past as Cromwell jogged up the stairs, persistent to find the correct one. Once more, he looked down and up from the railings of the stairs, an even larger endless pit down, but less up. He continued, sweat drops sliding down his back, his face. "Bridge floor". This was it, he thought. Cocking his shotgun he spoke in the comm. "I found our target, Staff Sergeant!"

[ShayNanigans]

Her heart beat against her chest like a steady drum as Jade gripped her two M6Cs. Pressing herself against the wall, Jade turned to her team and gave a subtle nod. Following the lieutenant's lead and keeping back, staying close by the walls. "Understood," Jade was quiet for a second before sending a private message to him, keeping her voice low so that the others of her team couldn't hear, "keep your emotions in check Cromwell. Your anger is understandable but it leaves you blind to your surroundings."

Meanwhile: Kolya and Spender were still on the bridge of The Ulterior Motive. Kolya was digging through the weapons locker on the bridge, as he armed himself with a Shotgun and two SMGs. Once Kolya had armed himself, he began to throw weapons to every single one of the officers on the bridge. Kolya: I want all of you drones geared up and ready to fight if those UNSC pricks try to breach this door. Spender looked at Kolya, as he took a drag of his cigarette. Spender: So much aggression, Mr. Kolya. No need for that. Spender grinned, as he spun his chair back to face the front of tghe bridge. Spender: The UNSC has no prayer of getting into the bridge. As far as they know...there is only one way in and out. Besides that...there is no way they are going to make it through the blast doors. They do not have enough C4 to break through the security doors. Spender grinned, as he began to take another drag of his cigarette. After he exhaled, he called out to the ship's AI, Renegade. Spender: Renegade...isolate current location of UNSC forces previousled engaged by Mr. Kolya. Renegade: Currentl location...Deck 1...section 09...junction 03... Spender:: Well...the UNSC got close...but... Spender paused as he took a drag of his cigarette. As he exhaled the smoke through his noes, he continued to speak. Spender: Not close enough. Renegade...seal all of the security blast doors leading up the the bridge...and seal the main doors to the bridge. Disengaged all corridor access panels and began Deck 01 lock down procedures. Renegade: Acknowledged. The instant that Renegade had processed the command, the doors to the main bridge locked, and the blast doors in the corridor began to seal shut. Every single computer panel on Deck 01 began to go dead due to the lockdown. Spender: You see Kolya? The UNSC will not even get close. Blast doors were created to absorbm ridiculous levels of C4. There is no way they are getting through the blast door...let alone the door to the main bridge...let alone...you. Spender began to laugh. Spender: To think that the command center of the entire ship would be undefended...seems short sighted. Kolya shrugged. Kolya: Worst case scenario...I am here to do my job. Spender: Worst case scenario...I am sure you will do an outstanding job. Spender paused. Spender: Once I am done here...and once Black Team has escaped with Vanguard...we will use the axillary elevator, and move right down to the Hanger Bay. The UNSC has left a number of perfectly good Pelican for us to take. We already have part of Hammer Team near that location. It is fairly secure at the moment. I am certain that everything is in order. Kolya: Good plan. I like it. Spender: It is my plan. My plans are always good. Meanwhile: Black 1 and Black 2 were behind cover in the Hanger Bay. They saw that Cameron had moved to engage Nova Team, and Anaconda was moving to engage Black 3 and Black 4. Black 1 then looked back at Black 2, and nodded. Black 2 nodded back, as both men emerged from cover, and took aim at Nighthawk. As Black 1 fired his Assault Rifle, and Black 2 fired his SHotgun, Nighthawk was forced back into cover. Black 2: Black 2...move forward! Black 2 began to reload his SHotgun, as Black 1 kept him covered. Black 2 began to step forward closing in on Nighthawk's location. Anaconda, on the other hand, ran towards Black 3 and Black 4. As he charged at the two ODST, they began to back up. Black 3: Cook the bastard Four! Cook him! Black 4 nodded, as he took aim at Anaconda, and fired off a single rocket. Anaconda jumped into the air, and evaded the rocket, as he prepped his Hammer, and slammed it on the ground, sending both ODSTs flying backwards, across the hanger bay. Anaconda snorted, and roared at Black 3 and Black 4, but instantly turned his attention to the Durance Shell. Anaconda snorted again, as he hefted his Hammer, and took a step back, as he prepared to slam his Hammer right onto the Durance Shell.

Dangerus growled loudly for all the corridor to hear. He turned to Xyrho when he heard him shout. Dangerus fully knew that his brutes could handle these Spartans in battle, and he knew that danger was still ahead for Xyrho. He could not let him go alone. Dangerus backed up and began to laugh, he began to walk away from the scattered Trust forces, laughing and letting his hammer scrap against the metal floor. Dangerus: Dinner is served, mates! Dangerus hefted his hammer over his shoulder and joined Xyrho as the dozen brutes he brought with him rushed to keep the Trust forces back. Dangerus looked at Xyrho. Dangerus: Lead the way, Shipmaster. Meanwhile: Jessica stared at the cyclops in front of her and waited til she knew Desmond and Liam would fully recover. She glanced at Hammer Team before receiving a comm from Liam. Liam: Move in now, Spartans! Take this oversized AI down! Jessica immediately fired off the rockets from her launcher, but instead of aiming at the cyclops, she took aim directly above it. The first shot impacted the ceiling as small bits of debris hit the cyclops. The second, took the whole ceiling down as it came crashing down upon the cyclops. Immediately after, Desmond and Liam slammed into it's right and left leg, respectively. They brought cyclops down to it's knees as they each lifted a grenade in their hands, intent on sticking it between the wires and metal of the cyclops, now exposed, back.

The Cyclops fell to its knees, as it struggled to maintain its balance and stability under such focused attack. HAWK could see that there was massive damage to the exoskeleton of the Cyclops, and that it had been severely damaged. However, despite this, HAWK had very little sense of self-preservation given that the only real loss would be the hardware. The Cyclops attempted to free itself from under the debris, as it pushed itself back up, only to find that two grenades had been planted on the insides of the chassis. HAWK could only speculate on the level of damages that would be caused by the fragmentation grenades. As The Cyclops freed itself from the debris, and got back to its feet, the two grenades detonated, and the entire rear portion of the Cyclops blew outwards, putting a massive hole in aft of the armor, damaging the main reactor for the armor. The blast caused the Cyclops to stumble forward, as it struggled to maintain its balance. HAWK knew that the extreme damage to the Cyclops had reduced the mech to little more than a write off. As a last final ditch effort, The Cyclops swung its right arm in an attempt to strike any member of The Risk Takers. Alas, the effort was futile. The Cyclops fell on its side, as it began to shut down. With the power reserves on the Cyclops hemorrhaging, HAWK spoke out to The Risk Takers. HAWK: Not bad...for a team of traitors... HAWK paused. HAWK: I have to admit...the Human element must add something to how well this thing performs...something that I can't emulate... HAWK paused again... HAWK: Then again...the Human element would be far to timid to say the words... HAWK paused, as a high pitched hissing sound began to emerge from the Cyclops. With the high pitched sound now echoing in the corridors, HAWK continued to speak. HAWK: "Reactor failure imminent". Funny thing is...those may be the last words you ever hear. I hope they are... Meanwhile: Xyrho nodded at Dangerus, and simply pointed down the corridor. Xyrho: We must move past these Humans. According to the drone I dispatched...the quickest route is down this corridor. There is an access way that will give us rapid access to the Construct's current location. We must hurry!

[Hells Sniper]

Liam, Desmond, and Jessica heard HAWK's announcement and both knew what was about to happen. Liam: Everyone, down the corridor, now! Everyone broke out into a sprint as the the cyclops began to beep rapidly. Desmond and Jessica immediately took the lead of the other Spartans, as Liam ran behind the group. Liam: Turn right now! Desmond and Jessica both took a sharp turn right as the beeping began to get more rapid. Liam watched as Hel and Ullr both turned as well, but Liam knew he and Thor didn't have the time. Liam immediately grabbed Thor by the arm and ran into the wall towards their right, smashing through the wall and into an adjacent room. Moments later, an explosion rang out into the corridor, blasting through the area and created a huge crowd of smoke. Liam shook his head. Liam: Everybody, fall in! Meanwhile: Dangerus grunted. Dangerus: Let us bypass them, active camo and just walk through. We have no time to fight them.

[Naked Crook]

Xyrho nodded at Dangerus. However, before he engaged his active camo, he looked at Voro, and simply gave a single order. Xyrho: Continue the fight. Provide some cover fire for The CHieftain and I, so we can slip by these Humans unnoticed. Spare no tactic against these Humans! Voro simply glanced over at Xyrho, and gave a nod. Xyrho then looked back at Dangerus, and motioned his head down the corridor. Xyrho: This way, Chieftain. Xyrho engaged his active camo, as he moved forward, down the corridor. Xyrho broke out into a full sprint, as he made his way towards a stairwell. As he approached the door, he noticed that there was a red light above the door. SUre enough, the door did not open when he got close. Unwilling to spend the time needed to get the door open, Xyrho simply activated his energy blade, and lunged it right into the door, the blade moved through the metal, like a hot knife through butter, as he began to cut through the door. After making a sizable incision in the door, Xyrho simply stepped back, and then proceeded to kick the door right off its hinges. Xyrho: We must proceed downwards. We will find the Construct once we reach the bottom. Meanwhile: Anaconda had hefted his Hammer into the air, and slammed it right down on the Durance Shell. However, despite the immense force that he had put into the blow, he did not even make a dent in the device. Anaconda was wide-eyed under his helmet, as he had never seen anything that was able to withstand so much force, and not succumb to so much as a dent. Anaconda snarled, as he stepped back. He knew damn well that he was going to have to try something different if he was going to destroy this device. However, before ANaconda could even begin formulating a new plan, he came under fire from Black 3 and Black 4. Black 3: Get that God-damn Silverback away from Vanguard! Black 3 took aim with his Sniper Rifle and Black 4 took aim with his Rocket Launcher. Black 4, however, held his fire, as he did not want to risk damage to the Durance Shell. Black 3, however, lined up his shots, and fired on Anaconda. Black 3 fired off two rounds right into Anaconda's chest, which brought down his shields to an inactive state. However, Black 3 was unable to deliver a third shot, due to the fact that Anaconda had jumped behind cover. As Black 3 reloaded, he looked at Black 4. Black 3: Grab the device...and get it to the Prowler. Black 4 nodded, quickly moving forward towards the Durance Shell. As Black 3 kept his sights up, he shouted out to Novak and The Consultant. Black 3: Hey, Docs...move towards the Prowler. Make it snappy! Novak and The Consultant heard Black 3's order, and they quickly complied. They bolted from the service elevator, and made a dash for The Prowler. Black 1 and Black 2, on the other hand, had engaged Nighthawk. Black 2 had his shotgun raised, as he circled around Nighthawk's cover. Black 1 stayed back and provided cover for Black 2. As Black 2 had converged on Nighthawk's position, NIghthawk emerged from cover, and tackled Black 2 right to the ground, separating the ODST from his shotgun. Black 1 witnessed this offensive, and took aim at Nighthawk with his Assault Rifle. However, before Black 1 could pull the trigger, he came under fire, and was shot in the arm. When Black 1 turned to see his attacker, it was none other than Tye. Black 1 was forced back to cover behind a large supply crate, as Tye fired off the entire clip from his SMGs. Tyber: Come on you SOB...man up and face me! Once Tye's clips were dry, he simply tossed his guns aside, and charged at Black 1's position. He leapt over the supply crate, and tackled Black 1 to the floor. Tye held his forearm to Black 1's throat, as he looked down at his former comrade. Tyber: You have gotten slower Jonas... Black 1 scoffed, as he used his left hand, and simply pushed Tye off of him. TYe flew back a few feet, as BLack 1 pulled his feet back, and jumped back to his feet. Tye also quickly recovered, and the two men glared at each other. Black 1: And you have gotten sloppy...Black 6... Black 1 simply glared at Tye. However, in a flash, he drew a combat knife, and lunged at Tye, with the blade targeting Tye's throat. Tye managed to block the lunge, stopping the blade only inches from its target. Black 1 pushed forward, backing Tye right up against the Supply crate, as he used ever ounce of strength to send the blade right through Tye's throat.
