Tye looked up at Jacob. He saw Jacob grab his arm, and pull him up. Tye had to admit, he was glad that Jacob had grabbed him before he fell...but Tye also had to admit that he was bloody confused. However, Tye was never one to look a gift horse in the mouth...so he took it for what it was...luck. Tyber: What the hell is your angle Jacob? With his hand firmly on the ledge once more, Tye used his other hand to grab a hold of the ledge, as he began to pull himself up. It did not take Tye long to pull himself up, getting his feet back on solid ground. As Tye caught his breath, he looked at Jacob, not sure of what to make of him at this point. Perhaps this was just confusion on Jacob's part...or perhaps Jacob was not so sure of his decisions as he made himself out to be. However...despite the reasons Tye could not take the chance of leaving Jacob as an active contender on the battle field. He did not have time to figure out what jacob's angle was...so he decided to do it later. Tyber: I do not have time to figure it out... Without further hesitation, however,, Tye reached to his side, grabbed his SMg. He looked at Cameron fighting Black Team, but then quickly turned his head, and slammed his SMG into the side of Jacob's neck, hitting a nerve cluster which caused Jacob to fall to his knees. Tye then followed up with a palm strike from his bloody hand, right in Jacob's head, knocking him back with great force. With Jacob out of the picture for the moment, Tye turned his attention to Cameron and ODST Black Team. The fighting between Cameron and ODST Black Team was very fast paced, with ODST Black Team taking the brunt of the hits. However, ODST Black Team was very well trained, and they were far more resilient than they looked. However, they did need to regroup against Cameron when the gunfire from Jesse rang out. Black Team immediatly knew they were being flanked, and they needed to regroup. Black 1: Black Team...fall back and regroup! Black 4...clear our six! Black 4 immediately turned around, as he took aim at Jesse with his rocket launcher. Black 4 fired off a single rocket right on Jesse's position. Meanwhile: Anaconda growled as he felt the Magnum rounds impact his body. He grit his teeth as he turned, only to see Liam crashing into him. Anaconda came crashing to the ground, as he felt Liam's blade sink into his body. Anaconda had dropped his GRavity Hammer when Liam had crashed him, leaving him unarmed. Anaconda growled, as he looked up at Liam sitting on top of him. Anaconda: Get the hell off me! Anaconda used his right hand, and swung his hand at Liam, effectivly mauling Liam. The impact was very harsh, as the force caused Liam to fly off of Anaconda, right to the side. The blow also left a large claw mark on Liam's visor. Anaconda knew, that despite tossing Liam to the side, that there was still three other Spartans around him. He knew that no matter which way he went, he was going to get mowed down by gun fire. Anaconda's only alternative was to get out of harms way. Anaconda reached over and grabbed his Hammer once more, vouching not to leave it behind, before he got back to his knees, and then pushed off, using his immense weight to crash through one of the adjacent walls, effectively getting out of the line of fire. Once Anaconda had put himself through the wall, he stumbled forward, as he reached to his side and grabbed the knife that had been stabbed into his side. He pulled it out, and tossed it aside. The scent of his own blood filled his nostrils, as the knife bounced across the floor, shooting bits of his blood around as the knife bounced, eventually coming to a sliding stop. Meanwhile: Nighthawk was still on the move. He was moving as fast as he could to get to Anaconda's position. He could hear the gunfire and the noise from the fight. His mind was racing, as he speculated on what was happening. As Nighthawk moved, he spoke to Anaconda over their comm link. Nighthawk: Hold on...I am almost there! Hang in there! Anaconda: Just hurry it up. They are very well organized this time around. As Nighthawk ran up the stairs, he saw the number 37. He was only a few floors away. Meanwhile: As Xyrho fell, he adjusted himself, midair, managing to fall on his feet, right where Anaconda had fallen previously - right between Liam, Emma, Jessica, and William...and now Desmond. Xyrho: One foe turns into five... Xyrho had both of his energy blades ready, as he looked back and forth between each of the Spartans. Meanwhile: ODST Nova Team all looked to Imohtep, as they waited for him to start going through the weaponry. Imohtep took the hint, as he walked forward and began shifting through all of the weaponry. Osiris: So...what is the deal with these weapons anyway? Why so much hype? Imohtep: Basically...they are highly specialized versions of what we presently use. Imohtep grabbed one of plasma pistols, and held it in his hand. Imohtep: We typically carry these around to disperse the shields of Elites and Brutes. These new versions, however, tend to be a lot better on the battery. Based on lab tests, they last twice as long, and they burn a lot hotter than their standard variants. Anubis: So...I guess we CAN'T toss them aside when they run out like we did with the old ones? Imohtep: Correct. We have to keep these ones. We can bring them back and get them recharged if necessary. Do not dispose of them. Imohtep began to toss the Plasma Pistol to each member of Nova Team. They immediately holstered the weapon at their sides. Imohtep then grabbed a Carbine from the desk, and tossed it to Anubis. Imohtep: Basically...the big guns themselves are intended to better all around. They all have generally less recoil, the material they use disperses heat, as opposed to conducting it. In conjunction to being far more durable, Division 7 was able to remove rate of fire safety locks. These things hit harder, shoot faster, go further, and hurt a hell ff a lot more. Imohtep grabbed a DMR, as he tossed it to Apophis. Imohtep: The bonus part is, there is no proprietary ammo. These use the same types of ammunition that standard issue weapons use...so anything you find in the field...is fair game. Anubis: Except when there isn't a single Covenant SOB around...then I guess I would be in trouble. Imohtep: That is very true. I guess you would just have to be careful, is all. Anubis: I will just pack more ammo. Imohtep then grabbed a battle rifle from the table, and tossed it to Osiris. Osiris: I love the feel of this weapon. It is so light...and the grip is amazing. Imohtep: Yes...the material on these weapons is not only super durable...but it is also very light. Osiris: Where the hell did we get this material from? Imohtep: We have been stripping it off the walls of some facility that ONI Installation Mediterranean was built over. It is where we found that damaged terminal that was being repaired at The Apex Building...and that box that was being studied at ONI Installation Desert. Anubis: Ohhh yes. I remember that place. Didn't The Consultant say, that Vanguard said, that Mediterranean is where we have to bring the terminal and the box in order to rebuild him...or it? Imohtep: Something like that. Imohtep grabbed the last weapon, which was an Assault Rifle. Imohtep: There is some preliminary stuff that needs to be done first, however. We need to let Vanguard pull data off that Terminal and upload it into that box. We then bring the box to Mediterranean...and we then just let Vanguard take it from there. The specifics are a bit sketchy...but hey...I don't really care.

"You son of a..." He said, diving forward under the rocket, firing his Magnum multiple times at Black 4, aiming for the head. "Die, mike foxtrot!"

Harmony reached the 57th floor, they were all fairly winded. Arman: "Come on, Harmony, just a few more floors." The group continued upwards, moving slower than before, but still chugging along at a decent speed. Robertson: "Don't you guys think it's a little odd that we haven't found anymore Trust soldiers?" Axlon: "It is odd. I doubt this Hoffman guy is alone, but we should've see someone else other than those ODSTs earlier." Robertson: "Maybe they didn't realize any of us were this high up in their building." Axlon: "Well if they didn't before, that explosion should've signaled them." Vhat jumped down below behind Xyrho, drawing his energy blade in his other hand, his plasma rifle still wielded too.

Jacob had taken a hard blow and had fallen to the side. His head hurt, it felt like he was having a blood clot from where Tye hit him. Jacob shook his head a few times as he placed his hand on his visor. He blinked several times in a row and began to stand up, he was dizzy, but he could hear Black Team call the fall back. Jacob was in no position to rejoin Black Team, he was behind Tye and Cameron. After a few moments, Jacob stood up and pulled a flashbang off of his belt, he tossed the flashbang right below Cameron's feet and then turned around. He ran down the hallway to go around the building, he would regroup with Black Team on the other side. Meanwhile: Liam quickly regained his balance and slid over to where the knife slid to a stop. Without a second hesitation he picked up the knife and threw it at Anaconda, unfortunately, his aim was a bit off from the damage to his visor. The knife flew through the air and hit Anaconda in the calf of his right leg. Liam had his chance, but just as he was about to take it, he heard William on the comms. William: New contact! Twelve o'clock! Liam looked over to where Anaconda had fell previously and standing there was Xyrho with his energy swords and Vhat wielding his plasma rifle. Desmond was a few feet in front of them and they were encircling each other. Liam cursed and slammed his hand down on the concrete, denting the floor. Liam: Desmond, William, engage the new contacts! Emma, Jessica, on Anaconda now! William immediately started up his chain gun and began firing on Xyrho and Vhat. This gave Desmond a moment to have the upperhand as he ran at both of them with his arms spread open. Desmond used his arms to hit each of them in the head and knock them both to the ground. Desmond ran behind them and cracked his knuckles as Jessica ran by to regroup with Emma. Emma had already begun moving on Anaconda, and with him being slowed by the knife to the leg, tackled him to the ground from behind. William began to move towards Desmond's position. While, Liam and Jessica moved towards Emma and Anaconda. On the roof, Furium looked down at saw Xyrho and Vhat get hit by Desmond. Furium laughed as he drew his gravity hammer. Furium: Oh, this is going to be fun. Just as Furium was about to jump down into the fray, he was attacked by machine gun fire from a pelican. The pelican flew overhead as Furium watched it fly by. Without a second's notice, Savannah both jumped from the pelican and landed on the roof. Savannah raised her weapon. Savannah: Boss, device is secured. I figured you could use some help. Liam stopped running as Jessica kept going and listened to his comms. Liam: Where is it!? Savannah: It's docking with the Ulterior Motive, sir. Lyle stayed with it. Liam: Good, get down here. Savannah: Negative, I have a brute chieftain up here. Liam yelled. Liam: Then fucking kill him and get down here! Meanwhile: The pelican carrying the device had exited the atmosphere after the exchange took place. On board, Lyle stood next to the device as it slowly moved towards the hangar bay. Lyle: This is Spartan Z007 of the Risk-Takers. Permission to dock, priority one, package is on board. Pilot: Roger that, Spartan. Dock in open hangar bay seven, welcome back. The pelican entered the hangar bay.

Black 4 went prone, as he ducked under the gun fire. He took his left hand off the stabilizing grip of his rocket launcher, as he reached to his side and grabbed his automag, and took aim at Jesse, and fired off the weapon in rapid succession. Due to the weight of the rocket launcher in Black 4's hands, his aim was a bit off, but it was good enough to land a direct hit if Jesse did not return to cover. In any case, Black Team began to converge on Jesse's location, as it proved to be the easiest route of of harms way. Black 1: Jacob! Move your ass! As Black 1 said this, he saw Jacob drop the flashbang. He knew that Jacob would need covering fire, so he provided it as best as he could. Black 1 took aim with his Assault Rifle, as he concentrated his fire on Cameron. This was Jacob's best chance to get past the Spartan, and link back up with Black Team Black 1: We have to get out of this flanked position. We have to get outside...we need space! Meanwhile: Hoffman was pacing around his office. He was clearly nervous. He knew what the situation was, and he knew what the stakes were. He knew that if the UNSC broke through his guards, his life was pretty much forfeit. Hoffman: Where the hell is my evac!? Hoffman waited for an answer from one of the Trust ODSTs he was with. Trust ODST: They are reporting delays due to the Covenant Corvette over the city. They had to take an alternate route out to avoid being shot down. Hoffman: Tell them to hurry it up! Hoffman paused. Hoffman: And contact any of our remaining teams left on the upper floors. If they are done clearing out non-essential personnel...then they are to make their way up here and enforce this line! Trust ODST: Understood. The Trust ODST Walked off, as he made contact with the other teams in the building. Hoffman, on the other hand, simply walked back to his desk, and sat down in his chair. He did his best to keep his composure given the tense situation. Meanwhile: Xyrho overheard The Risk Taker's orders, and knew that he was now in the right place, at the right time, faced with the right opponents. This is exactly where he wanted to be, and fate was kind enough to permit it. Xyrho watched as William revved up his Chaingun, but found himself knocked to the ground by Desmond. However, Xyrho was not so easily kept down. Xyrho quickly recovered, and leaped back to his feet. Xyrho stared down William and Desmond, as William's chaingun began to fire. Xyrho retracted his blades, as he engaged his armor lock, which effectivly made him impervious to William's gunfire. Xyrho knew that either William would change his target to Vhat, or Vhat would take the opprotunity to stop William from firing his weapon. Either way, Xyrho knew that his next moves were going to be against these Spartans. Meanwhile: Anaconda was once again taken to the ground, with Emma on his back. However, Anaconda rolled over, as he crushed Emma under his weight. Anaconda rolled to the side once more, as he saw Emma laid out on the ground. Anaconda began to get back to his feet, but he growled when he saw Liam and Jessica closing in. Anaconda: They just don't let up... Anaconda reached to his side, and drew one of his spikers, as he fired at Jessica, forcing her into cover. However, Liam was still on the move. As Anaconda turned his attention to Liam, ready to engage, he heard the sounds of Magnum fire ring out, as the .50 cals from both of Nighthawk's magnums impacted Liam's chest armor. This gave Anaconda the upper hand he needed, as he slammed his fist right into Liam's chest, putting the Spartan on the ground. Anaconda turned when he saw Nighthawk holding up both of his Magnums, stepping forward. Nighthawk: Sorry I took so long...those stairs can be a real bitch...

[Dark-F137]

Jesse rolled to the side, getting behind cover as he did, still prone. He eventually drew a grenade, popping the pin off and throwing it at Black team.

Frieteam Harmony entered the corridor to the 60th floor, the same floor Hoffman was waiting on. They took a moment to regain their breaths before proceeding, however, they were quickly under fire from Trust ODSTs. Arman: "Scatter!" Fireteam Harmony spread out taking cover wherever they could. Arman was the first to poke out of cover, firing one of her SMGs and nailing a ODST in the arm. The rest of Fireteam Harmony soon engaged, slowly pushing the line back towards Hoffman's office. Everyone knew that they were in for a long fight and that every shot had to count in order to capture Hoffman and defeat every team and guard protecting him. Above, Vhat had seized the momentary opportunity to charge at William, using his energy sword to slice at the chaingun and elegantly twirl to finish the Spartan off in a swift, fluid motion.

[Hells Sniper]

Jacob turned back around when he heard his flashbang pop, he immediately drew his sidearm and began firing at Cameron's location to force him back more. Jacob took his chance and hurdled himself down the hallway, rejoining Black Team by sliding to a halt in front of them. Jacob turned as he slid and continued to fire on Cameron's location. Jacob: Go, I'll cover! Meanwhile: Furium watched Savannah jump from the pelican and land in front of him. He growled loudly as she drew her weapon and began firing. His shields taking the initial shots from the assault rifle, Furium charged at Savannah as her magazine ran dry and she instinctively dodged out of the way. Furium turned and then slammed his gravity hammer on the floor next to Savannah. Savannah looked at Furium and shook her head. Savannah: You dumb dirty ape... Furium growled loudly and took a step to lunge at Savannah, but before he could the entire floor below him gave way from the combination of his weight and gravity hammer slam. Furium fell through the floor, losing the grip on his gravity hammer. Savannah groaned and stood up, she looked down the hole and then at the gravity hammer. She smiled. Savannah picked up the gravity hammer and then looked down the hole again, Furium fell three stories, one more than Anaconda had. Savannah jumped down, floor by floor. Meanwhile, Emma had been recovering from being crushed by Anaconda while Jessica ran over to help. Liam had been taken back by the arrival of Nighthawk and took a few hits to the chest before falling and rolling into cover again. Liam: Hawk and Snake are back together, I repeat Hawk and Snake are back together. Liam groaned into his radio as he lifted himself up. He had to separate the two once more. Liam: Jessica, smoke 'em. Jessica rolled out two smoke grenades towards Anaconda and Nighthawk's position. Liam: Flashbangs in fifteen seconds, let them get their thermal on. Down the hallway, Desmond had watched Xyrho go into armor lock and saw Vhat destroy William's chain gun. Desmond rolled into cover and waited for Xyrho to pop back up. Before William could be struck down by Vhat, he dropped his chaingun and grabbed Vhat's arm midswing. William held Vhats arm with hand and then sent a swift punch to his face and a kick to his stomach. William backed up and drew his combat knife. William: Bring it, split-jaw.

[Naked Crook]

Nighthawk and Anaconda regrouped, as they witness Jessica roll out two smoke grenades. Nighthawk: They are popping smoke. They are trying to obscure the battle field. Nighthawk and Anaconda backed up. Nighthawk: In this enclosed space...it will obscure quickly. Engage thermal imaging. Anaconda nodded, as both he and Nighthawk engaged thermal imaging. Meanwhile: Xyrho shifted his eyes back and forth, as he scanned the battle field. He saw William engaged with Vhat, and he saw Desmond in cover. Xyrho knew that Desmond was waiting for him to release his armor lock...but Xyrho was prepared. Xyrho waited a final moment, before releasing his armor lock. Xyrho jumped back to his feet, as he reached to his side, and grabbed a Plasma grenade, activated it, and tossed it right at Desmond's position, sticking the grenade to the wall, right beside Desmond. With the grenade stuck on the wall, Xyrho began to charge Desmond's position, putting the Spartan into a situation where he did not have either sufficient time to line up a shot, or plan his move against Xyrho. Meanwhile: ODST Black Team regrouped with Jacob. Black 4, however, caught sight of the grenade that was thrown by Jesse. Black watched as the explosive device flew through the air. Black 4: Explosive device inbound! Black 4 dropped his Rocket Launcher, as he jumped through the air to catch the grenade. Before he even hit the ground, Black 4 twisted his body and toss the grenade into one of the adjacent offices, letting the grenade land at the far side of the office. As Black 4 hit the ground, the grenade exploded. However, Black 4 was unarmed. Black 4: Black 2...we still have that prick flanking us! Take him down! Black 4 got back to his feet, as he backtracked to grab his Rocket launcher. Black 2, on the other hand, turned and charged Jesse's position. Black 2 moved quickly, as he slammed the butt of his Shotgun right into Jesse's chest, putting him on the ground. Cameron watched as Black Team began to fall back. He was under heavy fire. His HUD showed that his shields were about to fail, so he spun into cover. Cameron: Tye...shields are failing! Tye heard this, as he emerged from cover, and took aim. He saw Jacob and Black 1 firing on Cameron's position, but he also saw Black 2 had Jesse pinned. Tye dropped his SMG, as he reached to his side and grabbed his Automag, and took aim at Black 2. He began to fire on Black 2, hitting the ODST Right in the left arm. This caused Black 2 to recoil, forcing him to fall back in line with the retreating Black Team. Black 1: Make our way to the north-side stairwell...move down to the main floor!
