[Halo] New! San Angeles RPG

[Naked Crook]

Kolya watched as several spikes hit the windshield of the Pelican. Kolya: What the hell? Does that stupid thing think SPIKERS are going to be any match for a Pelican? Kolya laughed as he revved up the chin mounted turret on the Pelican and began to fire at Dangerus' position. The bullets from the chin gun tore into trees and shrubs, as the gun fired at a very rapid rate. Kolya: Sit still you stupid Brute...no point in making this any more difficult than it already is. Kolya resumed firing, as he readied another salvo of missiles, and locked onto Dangerus' position. Kolya: Once that Brute is done...I will find Jacob...and complete this rather irritating diversion of a mission.

Dangerus knew the spikers wouldn't last long as he was only doing this as a distraction in order to get the pelican on the ground. But, Dangerus also knew that the pelican had missiles and his shields wouldn't be able to protect him forever. Looking to his side, he saw MacLaren being dragged into even more cover from Jacob, who had recovered rather quickly from the prior explosion. Dangerus nodded and ran off in the opposite direction, dodging the chain gun fire as he weaved in and out between trees.

Kolya's Pelican took chase after Dangerus. Kolya was very suspicious of the current situation. Kolya was not ignorant of the way Brutes operated. The fact that he had caught Jacob in the company of a Brute, neither bound or subdued, raised serious red flags. Kolya didn't know why, but he felt that the elimination of this Brute was a necessary first step in continuing his pursuit of Jacob. Kolya: I swear to God...I must be the only person who is not on friendly terms with these things. Kolya could see that his Pelican's surplus of Missiles was running low. However, he could see that the persistent pressure that he was putting on the Brute was taking its tole. He could see the Brute running our of places to both run and hide. As a sign of complete arrogance, Kolya contacted Jacob on Jacob's private frequency, using ONI overrides to force an open channel. Kolya: Jacob, Jacob, Jacob...care to explain to me why this Brute has gotten in the way of our sparring match? Call me paranoid...but...why do I get the feeling that this is no...random diversion? Meanwhile: Vernette nodded at Jennifer. Vernette: I knew that I could count on you Jennifer. Jennifer: Well... how could I pass this up? This might be dangerous, this might be very questionable...but...this is also very serious. TO not help you would say very little about me. If what you say is true, and I do believe it is, then it is my responsibility to help you. I will get you what you need...just bring these bastards down. Barrabus: That's perfect. To be honest...I didn't think you would help us. I always thought you were a liability. I guess I was wrong. Jennifer: Well...when you have to keep a secret this big...I can understand your mistrust. Jennifer paused. Jennifer: SO...what is our first move? Vernette: We are heading back to the Spaceport. From there, we are going to help keep things under control until HAWK can point us in the right direction. After that...well...if you can keep the UNSC in line, following my lead...all the better. Jennifer: You can count on me.

Jacob shook his head. He was shocked Kolya could contact him, but then again it was Kolya. He was shocked about a lot with him. It was then Jacob had a thought as he saw Dangerus running back and forth. Jacob: Random diversion...you think!? Jacob cursed under his breath. Jacob: You think I'm working with this ape!? Jacob couldn't bear to hear himself say this, but he was hoping he could make it work. Jacob: He fucking grabbed me and the CPO here when I was trying to get her out of this burning wreckage! Jacob sighed and waved at the pelican. Jacob: I don't know what he wants, but he grabbed us. If you want your fucking data you can have it, just get the CPO out of here! Deal? Jacob hoped his little story could convince Kolya into landing, and give Dangerus enough time to move in.

[Naked Crook]

Kolya: A fascinating bargain you are attempting to strike with me Jacob. If I am right, and you are, in some way, in collusion with Koko the Gorilla, I could be walking into a precarious situation against an enemy who could easily match my abilities in ways that you simply could not. If I land, I have to face that thing...one way or another. Not a very smart choice. Kolya grinned. Kolya: However, Jacob...we could work together to kill The Brute. Turn your weapon on The Brute...help me end his life...and then, we will exchange the data, and I will be sure that both you, and your pilot friend, receive the finest in medical care. Trust me Jacob...we are on the side. We have a common enemy. Does my proposition not sound more logical Jacob?

[Hells Sniper]

Jacob cringed at hearing Kolya's position. Turning on Dangerus without him knowing the plan was not a very smart choice, Jacob only hoped he could fake it all. Shoot far, shoot wide, show Dangerus he wasn't trying to hit him, and blame it all on the injuries. Jacob grabbed his Socom from his side holster and held it up at Dangerus' position. He looked at the Socom, at MacLaren and finally at Dangerus. Jacob: I have two magazines Kolya! You better land that fucking pelican quick! Jacob yelled and begin to fire, shooting wide intentionally and hitting a lot of the trees Dangerus was running by. Dangerus, who was running on the other side of the clearing could hear the extra shots being fired. He looked over to his right to see Jacob firing his Socom at him. Dangerus growled. Dangerus: What are you doing Jacob? Dangerus pocketed his spikers and removed the hammer from his back. He could tell Jacob was missing the shots intentionally, he was one of the best human shooters he's ever seen. Could he be planning to be on Kolya's side...just to make him land? Dangerus growled and made a straight b-line for Jacob. He would find out soon enough.

[Naked Crook]

Kolya grinned. He always loved it when a good plan came together. Kolya began to circle his Pelican around, lowering his Altitude, and repositioning the Pelican such that he was closer to Jacob as opposed to Dangerus. He managed to make visual confirmation with Jacob, as he could see him through the cockpit window. Part of Kolya knew that something wasn't right. Jacob, far too badly, wanted KOlya out of the Pelican. This wasn't right. Kolya: Jacob...change of plans. I would much rather evac you instead of going toe to toe with the Bravo Kilo. Once I get close to the ground...please, by all means, load up into the Pelican, and I will fly you to safety. I wouldn't want you being killed by The Brute... There was a hint of sarcasm in Kolya's voice, as if doubted Jacob's intentions.

[Hells Sniper]

Jacob heard what Kolya was saying, he got an amazing idea to turn everything around. Jacob nodded and lowered his weapon, he began to move towards the pelican, dragging MacLaren with him. Jacob: Roger that! I'm en route now! Keep the door open, CPO's coming first! Jacob only hoped Dangerus would go for the pelican. Once he knew he was out of Kolya's view and in full view of Dangerus, he stopped. Jacob looked at Dangerus who was charging directly at him. Jacob raised his Socom at Dangerus, and then shook his head, he slowly moved his Socom towards the pelican Kolya was flying and nodded. Hopefully, Dangerus would get the message. Dangerus, who was charging at Jacob the whole time saw what he was doing. He had gotten the message. Dangerus: You crazy human...you... Almost instantly, Dangerus began to swing his hammer above his head and leaped towards, not Jacob, but the pelican next to him. Dangerus landed directly on the right wing and slammed his hammer into the engine. He lifted his hammer again, and slammed it once more, causing irreparable damage to the wing of the pelican. Dangerus howled and then turned and jumped, slamming his hammer onto the windshield of the pelican, almost destroying it and getting into the cockpit. Dangerus lifted his hammer again for another swing. Jacob on the other hand, began to fall back into the brush, grinning as he retreated with MacLaren.

Kolya was forced to jump from the Cockpit to avoid being hit by the Gravity Hammer that had nearly come through the cockpit window. As a result of this, The Pelican hit the ground, effectively crashing. While the Pelican was done for, Kolya, for the most part, was unharmed, and ready to walk off whatever he had injured. As Kolya got back to his feet, he walked ut of the Pelican, grabbing a Shotgun as he walked. He was neither amused, nor impressed by what had happened. As Kolya walked out of the wreck of his Pelican, he began to shout. Kolya: Well played Jacob! Well played! Leaving a fellow officer to fight your battle for you...or leaving them to your trecherous friends...either way...very spineless...and not becoming of an Officer of the UNSC. Kolya walked about 20 feet from the Pelican before he turned around 180 degrees to see Dangerus, still on top of the Pelican. He saw Dangerus looking down on him. Kolya: So...you must be very proud of yourself BRavo Kilo. I have to admit, the fact that you are still up there, even after the crash...I am singularly, yet marginally, impressed. Kolya looked to his side and grabbed his PDA. He touched the screen with his thumb a few times, then holstered the device. Kolya: Truth is, however...I am not too concerned that you trashed that pelican. So, while you stand up there, on top of that husk that used to be called a Pelican, relishing in your little smashing conquest, I just called for five more of those things, due here in no less than 5 minutes. So, in reality, the only loser in your valiant effort to ground me, would be the taxpayer...cause, they gotta pay for the replacement. Kolya cocked his shotgun, as his cocky grin turned into a look of reprisal, as he glared at Dangerus. Kolya: So...if you have nothing to add...let's dance pretty boy.

[Hells Sniper]

Jacob could hear Kolya from the forest edge. He cringed at his words; words that cut very deep within him. What he did was not what any officer would do. Then again, he wasn't just any plain old officer. He was Jacob Sharpmen... And by God, he wasn't going to let it end like this. He was injured, bloody, bruised, scarred, torn up on the inside and outside, but he knew what he had to do. He was not going to let Kolya, or whatever organization he was working for, win. In an act of second wind, Jacob hefted MacLaren over his shoulders and made a b-line for Dangerus' phantom some 200 meters away. He could make it out of here, save MacLaren, help Dangerus, and destroy Kolya. Dangerus, on the other hand, stood on the tail of the pelican. He looked down at Kolya and then stepped off the pelican, dropping to the ground with a loud thud. Dangerus was standing almost directly in front of Kolya, who stumbled back from Dangerus' landing. He held his hammer in one hand, both of his hands at his side, his hammer dragged on the charred burnt as he approached Kolya, who began to back away. Dangerus knew he could keep Kolya busy, so far to him, he was just a human. A small, puny human. Dangerus: Ever hear of the tango? Dangerus grinned and growled. He threw his loose hand upwards and grabbed Kolya by throat, lifting him into the air. Dangerus: I could crush you...in a single squeeze. Dangerus grunted and slammed Kolya into the hull of the pelican. Dangerus: Then again...I would rather hear you squeal. Five minutes is all I need. Dangerus slammed Kolya into the side of the pelican again, causing him to loosen his grip on the shotgun. Dangerus closed up on Kolya's face and growled, he slammed him into the side of the pelican again, causing him to loose his grip on the shotgun entirely. It was then that Dangerus threw Kolya across the field and into a field of trees. The force of the throw caused Kolya to tear through the first four or five trees, coming to a sudden stop as his back hit a large tree and he fell to the ground. Dangerus grunted and began his charge.
