Hyperspace Anomaly

The Limit

The Chief's blaster ran hot from his trigger finger. He pulled the trigger so fast that the blaster couldn't register every squeeze. It didn't matter at the moment. He fried almost blindly into the dense fog at wherever the green bolts were coming from. His comms screamed with requests of help and orders.

He looked back at the almost FUBAR situation. There was no battle line or proper defense circle. Just men wherever they can find the slightest bit of hope of cover. Bodies covered the battlefield. He wanted to see who was injured but he wouldn't be able bring them to anywhere safe. Right now every inch of ground was just another angle for the Umbarans.

"Enemy Flyers Chief!" Cortana yelled out.

A fighter swooped down and dropped its payload, devastating a squad and throwing a walker at a clone.

One more fighter zigzaged in the middle of the fight, floating there for a moment. The mjolnir armor bolted straight at the fighter before latching onto its side, before the fighter spun around and slammed the armor straight into a walker, knocking him off.

"Chief!" Cortana yelled as the suit's shield indicators yelled out Chief's mistake. The ringing in his head didn't help from the impact. "You're energy shield is down but your deflector shield is still up. Those upgrades sure have helped a lot." She sighed. "But your armor is still getting chipped away

The Spartan shook his head and refocused on the fight at hand. No matter what, he was going to keep fighting no matter how well the enemy is dug in. He rushed to the heaviest incoming fire and threw a pair of thermal detonators before running to a group of struggling clones. "Lugnut! Wrench! Move back to the line!" He called out to the two clones.

The two clones continued to lay fire out, not looking at Chief. "Turtle is still out there sir! I can see him!"

Chief saw a clone body laying face down in the dirt. He didn't even consider he may be dead before launching himself and taking fire to grab him. "Move back to the group! I'll get him back!"

"Yes sir!" They yelled before doing as ordered.

Chief grabbed the body and jumped back, his shield taking a few bolts but still holding. With a free hand he shot to the side of him, trying to suppress the enemy. It didn't take long for him to get to a medic. He dropped the body before quickly rushing to the next group.

"New orders Chief." Cortana said. "We're moving west to an airbase. We're taking it for our own."

A grenade was thrown which Chief quickly threw it right back at the enemy, gesturing to the clones to fall back. "We'll have our own air support." He said

Cortana scoffed at him, "Sounds like you're trying to out due my crazy."

Chief would have remarked if he didn't see the legion start to pull west. "We'll see how far it gets us." He said being one of the last to fall back with the men.

It's been almost an hour of walking. Cortana was checking old transmissions. She hummed a little curiously. 'The Republic channel has been weird ever since we got here. Almost like some transmissions never existed in the first place.'
Her moved her concentration to the suit she was staying in. "Alright Chief. Your shields are down until we get that engineer Bouncy to fix up your suit like last time, but your deflectors are still in working order."

"And the biofoam?"

"Works fine. This new stuff has bacta in it has well. Takes care of any wounds."

Chief acknowledged her words and thought about the engineer. He's being used to upgrade certain capital ships and make translator devices. And of course telling all sorts of Convent secrets.
