Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seeing Lieutenant Twombley and the flying plasma, he ran over. "Status report on the southern pass and make it quick."

The Lieutenant answered the Major "Sir, The Scorpions are in place, and the mines have been set. Everything is set as planned Major."

"Good to hear. I hope we can hold off this attack."
He hefted his BR55 up and checked the ammunition. He then checked to make sure he hadn't lost the spare ammunition clips he had brought. He still had them and they were full.
He waited a moment, then he looked at the Lieutenant. "Where do you think we should head to? I'm thinking about the southern pass, just to make sure nothing goes wrong. We could always go to the walls that Sergeant Forte told us he rigged with explosives. Where do you think we will be most needed?"
He thought to himself: "It would actually be best if we split up, but I'll see what he thinks firstly. See just how clearly he thinks."

"Yes sir, me too, i have confidence in our boys though, they arent marines or hell jumpers for nothin." Mathias thought for a second. Looking over what was happening so far, this was only the beginning. Rifles cracked all around him, and machine guns opened up. "Major, it wouldnt be a good idea if we were both in the same spot when a plasma mortar hit. Alpha base would lose both officers on station. Ill worry about the southern pass, you should try to keep in contact with the Titan or Armengald incase when need the pelicans to make a gun run on the covenant position if things start to get too hot." He was crouching down now to keep out of the path of oncoming plasma firing, his BR55 resting against his shoulder, aimed at the ground for safety right now.

"You too, sir." He replied watching the Major head off to the COM station. The battle over the Butte was under way. The Lieutenant waited for a break in the plasma fire then jumped and ran to the Scorpion tank which was overlooking the southern pass from the right flank. Hoping up onto the tank he yelled down to the driver and gunner. "You guys kill anything that comes up through that path! Hit them before they hit you. If we lose the tanks, this pass will fall!" He said that mainly to give the gunner and driver more to think about, and fight all the harder. "Yes sir, nothin will get by us." The driver and gunner sat themselves into the behemoth and closed the hatches. Twombley jumped off the tank and hustled over to the machine gun nests to make sure everything was alright with the marines there.
Most of the fighting was going on behind his position, where the forest met the butte. But it wouldnt be long before the covenant had the idea to try and find an easier way up. And that time was now..a lunking purple bulge poped up over the top of the southern pass and instantly there was a thundering BOOM that ripped through the sky, making the lieutenants ear rings. "christ those things are loud." he said to himself. Major, theyre starting to come up the southern pass, scorpions just took out a Wraith though, pinching off the pass sumwhat.

((I appologise if I am god moding. But I have to get something written down.))

I feel the Warthog jump and rock as the rest of my team hop into the vehicle, the Spartan sitting in the passanger side with my LAAG held in his arms. Three team members hop into the back, each person watching a side. One on either side, and one watching the back. Grinning slightly to myself, I rev the engine, spewing dirst and stones behind me.

Whiping the vehicle around, I slam the accelerator home, reving the engine into the red launching myself and my team mates forwards rocketing along the dirt away from the ship. Heading forwards at top spead I reach the top of a hill, ramping the vehicle making it land on the forward right wheel. With a jolt, the Warthog lands, bouncing along.

Makes me glad I am in the drivers seat and strapped in.

I think as I turn towards a river heading over a water fall several yards to my left. Crossing the river in a giant spalsh and rooster tails I rocket up the other side, once again ramping the behicle and my Comrads up the other side, bouncing greatly upon landing.

With a maniacle laugh, I drive my Warthog right into a large Valley filled with covenant soldiers. Dipping my head low to avoid any kind gore or bodies, I plow right into the throng of Covanant, the warthog bumping over all of the methane breathing grunts, the taller Elites and even one Hunter.

Smirking as they all try and get out of the way, I continuously attempt to comit mass roadkill by running over the most massive areas of Covenant occupation, but never once stopping to back up. Once in a while, the Wraiths around me would simply spontaniously explode, leaving strange white trails of mist behind them.

Suddenly, I spot a simple pair of Hunters all alone at the front of the pack of Covenant, I gun the engine even more, barroling straight towards them both. With an explosion of sparks I run over the right one, folding it's body around the front bumper, shredding its body with the tires. Once I am over that hunter, and forwards of all of teh Covenant, most of the ones that could see me started shooting at once.

Bolts of crackeling blue energy start flying over head, singing the pain on the sides and back of the Warthog. With a few quick twiches, I jink the warthog around several different times, barely managing to avoid several bolts from a Wraith Morter Tank. Their energy bolts smash into the ground beside me, rocking the vehicle and tipping the whole ensomble of people to one side. With a twitch of the wheel, I tip the vehicle back onto its four wheels again, and making the vehicle go towards the other side.

I twitch the wheel again, making the WortHog go the other way, Just beginign to ramp up another hill.

Team Delta to Alpha Team! Come in Alpha team!"

I shout into my comm system, calling out to the Butte.

"I need some cover here! This is Private First Class Angel Natavi calling for cover! I Am requesting backup! Can anyone here me!"

((Once again, I appologise for making this seem so short of a time period. If you want, I can go back through and alter my post so that it shows the time period. I hope that this is good enough a post to help speed along this thread a bit.))

The Covenant didnt not come heavy at all. Only a few Elites. Most were Jackal's and Grunts. Now that Delta Team was located only a few miles away form the Butte. They could do some good.

The front wall defence didnt even fall. One Slab of Titanium A armor had a hole in it. But bacically, no damage to report. But that was only the first wave. The second wave was still forming...

"Angel! Step on it! We need to get there fast. Run the bastards over if you have to." Brennan yelled.

This battle was getting nowhere. They needed some ground. But the only to give them some breathing room, was to take out the one thing that was causing the room shortage... The Covenant Carriers.

Alpha Team, this is The Armengald. I have a new Objective. As soon as the SPARTAN and the rest of Delta team arrive, you must keep them safe at all costs untill a ship arrives to take them out. Repeat: THE SPARTAN AND DELTA TEAM MUST SURVIVE. Armengald out

[New mission objectives]

((Ok, We are on the way to the base. Alpha team just beat the 1st wave. I tell you to step on it and as a joke, I say run over those bastards if you have to. We are about 7 miles away from the Butte. Got it?))
