I sighed as i could hear the Pelicans arriving as i looked at the spartans the beasts were surprisingly still as if they wore themselves out after three and a half hours of them fighting to get out of the Spartans hold it didn't evolve into smoke so I knew that they weren't dead the Pelicans landed and I could see the cage attached to the back of the Pelicans as the Spartans walked over to the Pelicans that one of my Troopers opened up both cages for the Spartans they tossed the Beasts in as they slammed onto the bottom of the cage letting out little whimpers I felt bad which is weird because I've hating animals all my life I hate dogs i hate cats I even hate fish but I feel bad for these mindless beasts as me and my men hopped into the back of the Pelicans with the Spartans in toe I took off my helmet turned it to look at the visitor I saw my reflection my dirty blond hair scars on my face and the stubble I thought back and I remembered my mom and her Fleet are here I get to see her again reconnect be happy for a change i felt the pelican start to take off as we were making air I felt the Pelican jerk and I hit my head on one of the seats i stood up and booked it to the cockpit I opened it up to see a feather the size of a warthog through the cockpit Center and all the way through the Pilots chest there was no physical way they survived I tried to reach for the joystick to steady the pelican but then I felt the Pelican crash as I smashed my head on the back of the pilot seat i definitely had a concussion i turned around and pulled off the pilots dog tags i sent a silent prayer in my head to the deceased then i stumbled out of the cockpit to see my men all holding their heads and the Spartan hanging on tight To The Top rack where snipers would be stored I pointed at the door and gave a command to the Spartan,

Spartan do me a favor and kick the back door open and all of you shake it off get out there and secure the crash site,

I said as I saw all them snap off solutes as they started getting ready to go as the Spartan kicked the door it hit the ground with a puff of dust I could barely see out but I noticed the other Pelican also was hit by feathers it wasn't flying for sure it had Feathers straight through the engine no doubt about it the engine was fried and there was no way for us to get back to the Heltin Ma I was going to radio for help but I wanted to make sure everyone was okay before I did that was top priority i ran out to get everyone and regroup them together then I would make the com go through to the Heltin Ma as i ran to the other Pelican i saw that everyone was slowly getting out of the pelican i saw the pilot of there pelican being supported by a ODST she looked like she might have a concussion the visor of her helmet was cracked and she looked a little out of it i felt bad for all my men having to go through this,

Are you all ok, i asked as the pilot barely nodded her head she looked completely out of it I turned my head and I waved one of my troops who was a medic he nodded his head walked over and help set the woman down on the ground the pilot groaned in pain as her Body Hit the hard ground the medic took off the pilots helmet she has scraggly brown hair soaked in blood and she was surprising pretty i felt bad I felt like this was my fault I turned and looked at the Spartan behind as I spoke to her,

Spartan do me a favor take a group of ODST's secure the perimeter once the troops are all set up I want you to go around and look for anything we can use to set up a few barricades so we can make this area a more defensible location break off the back doors of the Pelicans if you have to use an actual door for the baricade to set up camp inside of the pelicans we don't know how long it will take for the beacon to be fully activated cuz it hasn't pinged yet get to it, i said as the Spartan Nodded her head and got to work on everything I said I just looked at the pelican and groaned in a little pain my arm hurt but i could handle it for the mean time i walked around with my SMG in my left hand at the ready if any of those things came at us i looked out at the forest
