[Halo] New! San Angeles RPG

[Naked Crook]

Anaconda kept a stone faced composure, as his eye's shifted to Furium's hammer that was on the ground. He watched as Furium inched closer and closer to it. However, Anaconda was not going to simply let Furium reclaim his weapon. Instead, Anaconda charged, and slammed his Hammer down in between Furium and Furium's Gravity Hammer. The blast tossed the Gravity Hammer to the other side of the roof, and repelled Furium back in the opposite direction, away from the Hammer. Anaconda: You don't HONESTLY think I am going to let you have your weapon? No...no...no...I would much rather keep you unarmed. It makes my job SO much simpler. Anaconda circled around Furium, his guard up. He was less intent on killing Furium at the moment, and more intent on keeping the War Chieftain busy. Nighthawk, on the other hand, had his Magnum in his left hand, and his PDA in his right hand. Nighthawk: HAWK...I need a remote start on the Vulture...and I need it at this position. We need air support. HAWK: I do not think that is very advisable. The Vulture's munition supply is dangerously low. The Vulture has all but used up its air to air missiles. Air to surface missiles are low. While the main cannons are still loaded, they would prove to be highly ineffective against a rapid ariel assault from a Banshee. Nighthawk: HAWK...there is very little choice in the matter... HAWK: I disagree. There is an alternative... Nighthawk: Such as? HAWK: The Venture Capitalist IS capable of an ELO descent. It has been rated for Atmosphere. The main deck guns posses the targeting precision for the necessary air support that you would require. Nighthawk had not considered this possibility. Nighthawk: What about Banshees or other support crafts? HAWK: A Banshee is no match for a Frigate. Even a Phantom would get shot down before it even got close. Nighthawk: Other Covenant ships. The last thing we need is a Corvette engaging the Venture Capitalist. HAWK: The Covenant has been unable to detect The Venture Capitalist. If we do detect a Covenant Corvette on a descent trajectory in an effort to engage a ship they cannot see with their targeting sensors, it would be very easy for the Venture Capitalist to bug out and return to orbit. Nighthawk: Would it be possible to position the Venture Capitalist to allow for optimal firing solutions against The Covenant? HAWK: Yes, it can be done. Even if I ran a single attack run against Covenant Forces on the ground, I could decimate a large majority of their forces, without even firing a shot CLOSE to the UNSC Line. Nighthawk nodded. Nighthawk: I'm sold. HAWK...make it happen. Prepare for descent trajectory... Nighthawk paused. Nighthawk: Perform ONE attack run! I need you to hit the Covenant hard enough down here to make them think twice about advancing any further. However...I will need you on standby for a second run. HAWK: Understood. Beginning descent...now. ETA...1 minute till combat zone. Meanwhile: Tye began to run forward. He ran into the combat zone, both of his SMGs in hand as he moved forward. Tye was quickly approaching Jacob's position. Tye had heard the call from Sergai about the warning about the Sniper. Right away, Tye had his eyes up, and his VISR managed to spot the Jackal sitting on one of the rooftops that was not too far away. As Tye ran, he slowed down, and holstered both of hi9s SMGs, and grabbed one of his automags from their holster. Tye kept his eye on the sniper, and at the last second twisted his body to the side to avoid the beam rifle slug. Tye knew that a second slug was coming for him, so he immediately rolled forward, evading the second slug. Tye knew that the rate at which the Jackal had fired the two slugs that he was no doubt in cool down. This gave Tye the few seconds he needed, to get back to one knee, take aim upwards at the jackal with his Automag...and fire. Tye fired one bullet, and nailed the Jackal square in the head - a shot of over 375 feet, or roughly 125 yards. Tye scoffed at the Jackal, and then shook his head. As he did, he got back to his feet, and converged on Jacob's location. It was not long before Tye took up position near Jacob. Tyber: I would ask for a situastion report...but I can guess what you are going to say; Covenant advancing, we are pushing back, not making much progress, slowly losing ground, situation unattainable, defeat is inevitable. Tye paused. Tyber: Is that ballpark guess correct? Meanwhile: Cameron and Voro were still exchanging blows. Both combatants were locking in a dual, with neither giving very much ground. Both Cameron and Voro seemed very capable of matching each others physical strength. However, Cameron did have the edge on agility, while Voro had the edge on weaponry. Cameron had all but exhausted the ammo on his Assault Rifle, trying to keep Voro's shields down. Voro, on the other hand, was pushing himself, despite his injuries. There was a definite tug of war between the two that had no clear ending in sight. The fighting became so intense, that both Cameron and Voro had pushed each other back, far out of sight of either the UNSC or The Covenant. As far as both sides were concerned, these two were no longer even on the field of battle, as they had, more or less, let their fighting spill into a secluded alleyway that was a good distance away from the main battle. The two looked at each other. Voro was showing clear signs of fatigue, which was indiciated by his heavy breathing, while Cameron was like a rock, totally unmoving, and invisible when it came to his physical state. He was as calm and collected as he was when the fighting first started. Voro: I must admit...you are a worthy foe. It is not often I find someone who I can match my skills against. It is a shame that you are of the filth...otherwise...you would go far with your skill. Cameron didn't respond with words. He did, however, draw his combat knife, and held it in a CQC pose. Voro: And this one says he is not a swordsman. Cameron didn't reply. Voro: Yet his tongue is paralyzed in fear. For shame... Voro charged at Cameron once again, and the fighting continued.

Sergei felt the bullet penetrate the body glove while the automatic biofoam injectors started to close the wound. Moments later sergei was on the frontlines with the Marines as well as with ODST squad Havoc. Sergei: Commander Vernette I've reached the frontlines and I'm aiding a group of marines, they were being over-run. Sergei in a thick russian accent ordered for an Assault rifle and ammo.

Furium grunted and stood upwards. He turned to face Anaconda. Furium: I hate fighting my own kind. Furium turned and inched closer to Anaconda. [COLOR=rgb(163, 0, 0)][COLOR=rgb(163, 0, 0)]Furium: Then again, it is clear where your allegiance lies. [/COLOR][/COLOR]Furium charged Anaconda and as expected, Anaconda tried the same move on Furium again. Furium expected the move and as soon as the gravity hammer was about to hit the ground, Furium jumped into the air. The hammer hit the ground and Furium landed on top of it. The immense weight caused Anaconda to lose his grip and Furium charged Anaconda head on, slamming into his torso and leading him to the edge of the roof. On the ground below: Jacob saw Tye form up on the perimeter and smiled at what he said. Jacob: I wouldn't say inevitable! Jacob was forced into cover as a few spikers hit his cover. Jacob: But definitely fucking close! Jacob continued to fire his assault rifle when he saw the Cross siblings running from the warthog and into an adjacent building. A good six or seven brutes ran at them, running right over the warthog. And without any hesitation, the warthog exploded in a fiery bright ball of red and orange. The brutes howled as two or three were blown back, dying from the fire. The others, already dead from the explosion. Jacob smiled. Jacob: I have a feeling we can still win this, Commander. Meanwhile: Carmicle, Troy, and Folee were behind cover, taking heavy fire from some brutes. Carmicle: Goddamnit. There's too many of them. Troy fired his assault rifle and then slid back into cover. Troy: They seem to be fairing pretty well on the perimeter. Troy shrugged. Folee began to return fire, listening to the others. Carmicle: And all this will mean shit if we don't get this area secured. It's our only chance for Colby. Troy looked upwards. Troy: And possibly Limos, Cap'n Sharpmen pulled 'im into cover, I haven't seen 'im since. Carmicle nodded, they all reloaded their weapons behind cover. Carmicle: On three...we fall back? Troy nodded. Folee looked up. Folee: I'll cover your escape. Just get back to the perimeter. Troy: What're you gonna do? Folee grinned and opened his pack, revealing a dozen grenades. Folee: I've got a little gift for them.

Anaconda growled, as he headbutted Furium, as hard as he could, slamming the fore of his helmet right into Furium's noes. The foce of the impacted caused Furium to stumble back a bit. This gave Anaconda the chance he needed to charge forward again, and threw a left hook, and a right hook right into Furium's jaw. Furium fell to know knee, which gave Anaconda the chance he needed to slam his left knee right into Furium's face. Anaconda: My allegiance? What about your allegiance? Are you here because it benefits our kind...or because it benefits Gods that you have never seen and holy leaders which are little more than cowards and charlatans? My alligence is to my kind, which is why I no longer have any sort of loyalty or reverence for The Covenant. Anaconda snarled. Anaconda: Do not lecture me on..."allegiance"... Meanwhile: Tye could hear Sergai over the comm line, as Jacob gave him an update. Tye lowered his head when he heard the Warthog explode. Tye spoke to Sergai over the comm. Tyber: Spartan...get back to our defensive line. We need all the support we can get over here making sure The Covenant does NOT break through these lines. We are the last line of defense for the Spaceport, and if this line falls, a lot of innocent people are going to die. Now, get over here, and take up position between the Spaceport and the Covenant. Tye closed the comm line, and looked back to Jacob. Tyber: Well, Jacob, we are running short on ammo, supplies, and manpower...but the Covenant just keeps coming. I really have no idea how much longer we can hold this position.

Furium grunted loudly. He immediately stood upwards and glared at Anaconda. Furium: My allegiance belongs to no God, or Gods, or Prophets. Furium growled as he circled around Anaconda. Furium: It belongs to the Chieftain who gave me life again, who gave me my revenge. It belongs to the brutes that declared me as equals and gave me my vengeance against the elites. It belongs to my pack mates I fight alongside in battle. Furium snarled. [COLOR=rgb(163, 0, 0)]Furium: That is where my allegiance lies. [/COLOR]On the ground below: Jacob nodded. He fell back into cover as he reached for his last magazine. Jacob: I know, Tye...I know. Jacob paused and looked over his head. He could see at least a dozen more brutes, and now, even elites began to swarm the battlefield. Jacob: I only hope the Navy did their thing... Moments later, Jacob's radio came to life. He heard a very familiar voice on the other line. Harrison: This is Vice-Admiral Harrison, does any UNSC force at Carver hear me? Any UNSC force respond? Jacob smiled, he looked at Tye. Jacob: Admiral! This is Captain Sharpmen1 I read you! Say again, I read you. Harrison sighed. Harrison: Thank God...

Sergei put his right hand over his right ear. Sergei: Affirmative, I'm enroute. Havoc your with me. Ace: Like we are just stay right here. Lets go Duece! Sergei heads towards Tye's location once he and Havoc arrive he looks at Tye and opens fire on the Covenant. Ace smiles underneath his visor. Ace: Glad you saved us some Commander! Duece suppressive fire keep those covies back. Duece: I would but I got only rocket left Ace. Ace: Crap where was that plasma repeater you had? Duece: used it up! Hey Sergei, is that blood on your armor? Sergei: Who's? Duece: You look like you've been shot. Sergei: I don't feel it just keep fighting. No retreat, no surrender!

Cadieux was the first to regain consciousness. A few minutes had passed until she realized what had happened. She looked around and soon noticed she was still harnessed into her seat of the phantom. She could feel the blood rushing to her head. She also felt her legs being pulled towards the top of the phantom. She began to conclude she was upside-down. Cadieux gave it a few minutes to attempt an escape. When she felt as ready as she could she took out her knife and cut the harness, falling the 10 meters down, landing squarely on her left side. When she hit, she heard and felt multiple ribs breaking. She howled out in pain, but no one else in Fireteam Harmony could hear her. She stayed still on the bottom of the phantom, sobbing. For the first time she began to question her decision in joining the military.

[Naked Crook]

Anaconda shook his head. Anaconda: It still does not explain why you are doing the bidding of The Covenant. You can talk about where your loyalty lies...but your actions say something different. I learned long ago that there was no benefit, for anyone, in utterly destroying a technologically inferior race. Nighthawk, who was watching rhe exchange, sighed. Nighthawk: I will try not to take that personally... Anaconda glared at Furium. Anaconda: You can say whatever you want...you can say that you do what you do for our kind...but you are delusional. I know this, for a fact, because I used to think the same way, and do the exact same thing. I used to think that everything I did was for the benefit of our kind. However...I eventually learned that I was little more than a servant, doing what others wanted, only because they allowed it. The difference between you and I, is that you have managed to bury yourself so DEEP in your own delusion, that I doubt that you will ever get yourself out. Meanwhile: Tye also heard the message from Harrison. Tyber: Admiral...what is the situation up there? I hope that this courtasy call is a good sign. Tye popped out of cover and fired off a few rounds from his Automag, taking out a Brute that was getting ready to throw a spike grenade. Tye quickly ducked back down behind cover.

While Cadieux was sobbing, someone began stirring. She sniffled, and looked to see Robertson moving. He too, began to recollect the events leading up to this moment. He then noticed Cadieux on what he assumed was the ceiling still. Robertson: "What are you doing up there, Private?" Cadieux rolled painfully over, her face wet from the tears. Robertson: "Hey.. don't be like that. We have bigger things to worry about. Help me out of here." Cadieux tried as hard as she could to get up, only to topple back over in pain. Cadieux: "I can't feel my sides anymore." Robertson looked to where she was previously sitting and connected the dots. Robertson: "It's your ribs. C'mon, keep trying." Cadieux: "Why do you need my help? You have your knife, right?" Robertson nodded to the bottom of the phantom where his knife was laying there. Robertson: "I can't reach it. And I don't want to show you my stretchy goo arms." Robertson's tone said jokingly. Cadieux however, was unamused. She did as she was told and kept forcing herself to help Robertson. She didn't want to appear incapable of her responsibilities. She then managed to get herself to his knife and did her best to reach it to him. Her sides quickly engulfed into massive amounts of pain. Robertson managed to barely grab his knife before Cadieux fell down in agony again. Robertson cut himself free and used the chair to change his angle before dropping to the ground. He then began helping Cadieux to the back hatch of the phantom, letting her sit against the back wall. Robertson: "Stay here, Private." Robertson cleared his VISR showing off his smile to her, who was still highly unamused. Robertson then moved to check everyone else. He checked Calhoun who was unconscious. He then checked Arman. Roberson didn't notice before, but blood was running down the face of their team leader. He removed her helmet and a portion of her scalp was torn up. Robertson's optimism faded to pessimism, unsure if their team leader would make it back to the ship. Robertson then moved to check on Axlon in the cockpit. His injuries were far worse. He was slumped over the console, multiple glass shards, puncturing his armor in multiple spots. Robertson checked Axlon's pulse, finding it weak. He began to move Axlon back by Cadieux at the back. Robertson: "The academy taught you basic first aid, right?" Cadieux winced in pain. Cadieux: "Yeah." Robertson: "Help the Corporal and stabilize him." Cadieux nodded and began doing her best to help Axlon through her comparably, minor pain. Robertson returned to the cockpit. He looked at it feeling overwhelmed. He had two severely injured teammates inside a foreign ship. He looked at the console out of frustration. He began tearing open the console's service hatch. Robertson: "I may not be able to read Covenant, but it looks like the guts look similar." Robertson, although not fluent in mechanics or electronics, started working on a makeshift distress beacon.

[Hells Sniper]

Furium growled. He was enraged by what Anaconda was saying. By this brute, who has killed dozens of his own kind for his own personal gain. Furium snarled. He was not happy, he had no weapons, and Anaconda had pissed him off even more. Furium: Then...let us settle this. Furium growled and charged directly at Anaconda's center of mass. He pushed himself forward as Anaconda prepared for the charge. Furium charged at Anaconda and slammed into his center. Furium lifted Anaconda into the air only a little bit and charged him against the side of the building. The building shook, as the foundation was starting to give from the constant bullets, explosions, and destruction following underneath. Furium slammed him into the side and backed up as Anaconda fell onto his feet. He sent a left hook into his helmet, causing Anaconda to stumble to the side. Using his mass, Furium sent a kick to Anaconda's side and caused him to fall over. On the ground: Jacob was still firing his weapon and listening to Harrison at the same time. Harrison: Definitely a good sign, Commander. We were able to push the Covenant to the far side of the planet with an incredible loss to them. We lost a lot of good men and women, but we won the fight. We have retaken half of the planet, and whatever is left of the Covenant are falling back. Harrison paused. Harrison: It's still too much for us to handle it, but for now we can resume Naval operations and getting the civilians off that planet. Harrison sighed as he was handed a datapad, looking over the data of the lost and damaged ships. Harrison: Situation on the ground? What's the condition of the planet, Commander? Jacob looked at Tye. He knew he could handle talking to the Admiral. Jacob: We'll hold here Commander, get back to the spaceport. Talk to Captain Frost, get those civies airborne. Jacob fired his weapon at an approaching brute, killing him as he fell over the sandbags.
