"s**t!" Jon said loud but not loud enough to alert any enemy forces "you gotta be kidding me!" then he looked to Mendez "sir? what should we do?"
Even though the normally cool and collected Cpl. almost always kept his head, this time he was scared, he had fought tons of Covenant, but had never seen so much destruction happen so fast until now, it didn't help that he just watched more than one pelican full of his brothers and sisters get shot down with what seemed like little effort either.
"Great, the one time everything starts out good!....and i was starting to think i would live through this one to....Dammit! we can't fight them all! theres too many!..."
Jon rubbed his temple and calmed himself. "sorry...so what should we do?"

[All marines on first wave with me are in squads marked with blue.
Oh, and we don't know that the flood are here. So edit your posts.]
Mendez looked over at the Marine beside him. "I don't know what they're responding to, but listen up."
Broadcasting over TEAMCOM, Mendez gave his orders. "Marines, I don't know what the hell the Covenant are doing, but we're going to kick their asses about now." Mendez brought up the Squad displays on his HUD. Marking some with a blue light, He said, "All squads marked in blue, follow the Covenant, and find the best way to ambush them. All unmarked squads, you're with me. We're taking the generator."
Waiting for the last of the Covenant to move away from their position, Mendez motioned for the squads to move out. "Be careful Marines, we don't know what they're going for. If it's second wave, secure their position at all costs."

As Jon saw his squad get marked blue he said "right" into the COM and went in the direction the Covenant had run off in, walking slowly and never going around a corner with out checking first, then he spoke into his COM "Kyle, how are you doing on your end?"
Jon looked around the corner of a small rock outcrop to see Brutes shooting at something out of sight. "I see Brutes, there shooting at something, I'm assuming its Wave 2, permission to scout ahead a bit?"

Kyle spoke into the com, "Nothing really ober here, Jon."
Kyle stood and watched ahead and saw brief movement in the towering structure on the facility. His vision cleared more-so and he saw a jackal guard with a beam sniper, "Sir, sniper. Tower structure. Persmission to engage?"

[writer's block!]
Mendez waited until the other squads had moved out, and then began moving up.
"Sir, Permission to scout?" "Negative Marine, stay with your squad."
"Sir, Permission to engage?" "Green light, Marine, Engage combat. Fire at will."
With that order given, the marines engaging the Covenant would be on their own.
The generator was set like a tower, thinning out from the base upward. The only entrance was blocked by a Covenant plasma turret, already trained out towards the opening. "Get me a launcher up here, Marines." Within seconds, a SPNKr launcher was in position, and firing a rocket down the tunnel. When the smoke and debris cleared, the entire position was gone. "Move up and clear that structure."

As Jon went to go at it against the loyalists he got closer, making sure his squad wasn't to far behind him. Without speaking into his COM he turned around and quietly said. "ok guys, i doubt you would take my orders, so this is just advice, the brutes are horrible at detection, so if we can, I think we should try and get prepared, the best way to do that is." Jon looked at all the marines in his squad until he saw a Sniper "you, take sniping position up there" he said, pointing to a small outcrop that had a good view of the battlefield but was hard to see from the battlefield. "as for the rest of you, as I said, i'm not giving any oders, but we've already got some so, move out"
Jon turned around and, seeing the brutes not too far away, even better one was by itself a little ways off from the group, he shot at it a few times then hid behind a boulder, as it came looking for him he went around the boulder, with his MA5C holstered on his back and his M6G ready and loaded he came up behind it aimed at it's head before.....
-Sniff, Sniff- "what?!? a hu-"
CRACK!!
The brute had smelled Jon, but right as it turned around he shot it square in its big foreheard, little chunks of brain and drops of bloo flew out of it's head from the shot, but it wasnt too bad, Jon winced, he didn't like messy kills. "oh well, time to move forwrd"

Kyle aimed his BR55 at an approaching grunt and fired one burst, penetrating the skull, making it squeal, and then exiting it through the back of it's left ear lobe, taking a tiny trace of the cerebellum with it. He watched it drop as blood squirted from it's newly broken opened viens and arteries. He stood and advnaced slowly, followed by a few other Marines. They formed up against a wall at the bottom left of the ramp. Kyle looked at the body of the grunt and asked jokingly, "Anyone keeping score?"
After a small ammount of laugher broke the silence of the other Marines, it was silenced by the approaching footstomps of a brute pack. Kyle checked his magazine and popped out from behind a corner with the others, firing up and hitting the brutes dead on. They all were stepping back slightly and then there armor broke off. But, instead of falling back then took there spikers and fired at the Marines. One spike landed in the chest of the Marine next to Kyle. He moved behind the wall and like a game of follow the leader everyone followed. One more marine took a spike into his helmet and cut straight through it, poking out the other side.
Kyle gulped loudly and tossed a frag without looking and heard several yells of pain from the brutes. He spoke into the comm, "Mendez, sir, two Marines KIA. One brute pack and a grunt patrol eliminated. Orders, sir?" He reloaded his newly expended clip while he waited.

Jon motioned for the other marines to go a little farther back for better cover, then he threw the brute's corpse out into the open, the other brutes turned to see it, they grunted to eachother and ran in Jon's direction, preparing to make sure they suffered the same fate as they're brother, so he took out the M6G and waited, as soon as one of the brutes came across the corner he tried to shoot it in the head, but this time he missed, so as quickly as he could he threw one of the two plasma grenades he pulled off of the first brute and threw it on the second brute before diving away behind a boulder, right when the other three came the second brute exploded, taking two of his brothers with him, the final brute of the pack ran at Jon and kneed him in the stomache, sending him flying into the wall, as he fell down gripping his stomache the brute came at him again, luckily he rolled out of the way just in time, he got his M6G ready to fire but it tried to punch him again, so he rolled to the left and shot it in the chest, but he didn't hit anything major so it came at hin again, punching him square in the face, moving his jaw out of place. Jon didnt try to get up this time, the brute would just be on him before he was ready, so he aimed straight at it's head, and right as it came to finish him off by crushing his face, he shot it square in the eye, as it held it's eye in pain he three the other plasma grenade onto its leg, he rolled away as fast as he could and plugged his ears, he heard the bang of the grenade and turned around to see the Brute lying on the ground missing a leg, Jon got up and shot it in the head before it could try to get up, when he went back to look at the marines, he noticed one of them was dead, there were a few jackal and brute corpses around, apparently he hadn't heard the fight because of the grunts loud breathes and the blood pounding in his ears.
"well, i guess we did alright" he said to the marines, then he spoke into his COM "sir, 1 marine KIA, 1 pack of brutes and a few jackals down"

"All checks are a go. Thrusters hot and running. Wing leaders stick to flight plan Alpha One one Zero, Beta leader head over on the far right of the generator to have units flank. All vehical load offs should follow last in. Scorpion Drop offs land them on the risers to the left of the towers.
All wings listen up, Hornet Wolf Squadron will be covering us landing as the Banshee's come in. Kilo Three-Two-Five and Bravo Nine-One-Nine, you two are my wing men. Any questions?"
All status lights went green.
"Alright, initiating forward thrusters, bring us to a slow level."
He switched COM channels. "Captain Lee, this is Foxtrot One-Seven-One. Sir, all wings are green, Station is set. Ready for orders."

Kyle moved up the ramp and towards the door. He stood fast with his men and waited for anyone to move up. He used his COM again, "Sir, door way and entry ramps secure. We're good for orders."

"s**t."
Lee ran as quickly as he could to his pelican, the mass of greenish brown globules raining from the sky striking the ground around the deployment zone but thankfully not penetrating it's perimeter. His gear did not jingle, his breath did not falter, as he sped racing across the field slapping squad leaders on the back and sending them to their rides. The loss of five pelicans was bad, but not enough to require a fourth trip to the increasingly dangerous generator facilities.
"Sir! First wave has engaged covenant forces, second wave reports heavy losses to the flood!"
"How many left?"
"22, sir!"
"Have first wave complete the generator mission. Half of third wave will deploy on the ridges of the canyon now that covenant AA is already occupied, the other half will continue to previously established objectives. We'll have to try and save what's left of second wave, and if that becomes impossible we'll deploy napalm at the lip of the canyon to prevent the concentration fo flood there from getting out."
Lee's speakers picked up Karr's message. Finally, some good news.
"Third wave, immediate liftoff!"

"Roger that..." Anthony flicked a few switches and caused the mechanical beast to begin its hovering sequence.
"Alright boys, Kilo Seven Seven One, take your wingmen over on the left flank. The rest spread out over the radius of My Pelican. Hornets, Wolf Squadron proceed in front. Sword and Gold, Follow on the left and right flanks."
Anthony began the flight sequence, and the Pelican took off with the rest of his comrades.
"All units last minute switch to killbox Three Beta. Pick your targets, ETA till target,
10 minutes. All marines, switch COM's over to C-Band frequency.
Alright boys lets go over this again, in front are the 305th's own Alpha Company and Beta Company, followed is Foxtrot and then Kilo. We dont have many men, but we have word of Covenant Opposition within first landing. This is gonna be like D-Day boys... Godspeed gentlemen. "
Anthony piloted straight towards the Pillars on the horizon...
"Mendez, whats your status...?"

"Karr. We're split up. Alpha is with me, and Bravo is split out over the canyon in pursuit of Covenant forces inbound on second wave's position."
He twitched his hand and felt the knuckles pop.
"When third wave lands, have them follow me up into the generator. Use whatever forces we have left at your whim."
