You will be informed of when to play the epic music of 'MotherGoat'.

"No time to gawk! We're about to come in hot!" 34 orders everyone and takes the controls of the weapons. Then grunts, "Missed opportunity..."

"Don't fucking start this thing again," Dillan sasses 34 before he can start complaining about the weapon controls.

"Whatever," 34 flips a switch on the left side for the hangar door to open, "Right. Now get ready to drop in, we'll cover you from the pelican!"

Shuffling to the back I grab the laser off my seat and holster it on my back. Yang followed behind already ready to drop into action. Sparky is visibly excited that he can actually do something now

"What are we going finally?" 5000 asks still sitting down in his seat.

Yang sighs and nods looking back out into the lush green landscape.

5000 stands up and readies himself on the right side to jump. Yang gets on the far left. Sparky in the middle.

34 starts yelling from upfront, "We're coming in, in three. Two- shoot go go go!"

All three launch out of the ship and immediately following their drop I leap out of the ship.

Then I can see the others land into the middle of what looks like a war.

"Watch the drop!" I can hear Yang yell over the radio.

"Crap!- Feet first into h!-"

*Snap*

I landed feet first onto a Elite's head which caused so much pressure and weight that it broke the Elite's neck. The dead enemy slumped down onto the ground and I fell with it.

Getting up and getting my surroundings I can make out some UNSC Marines, Grunts, Elites, and the oblivious skirmish Jackals.

I look back to the sky for a moment to see the pelican make a wide 180 turn and start coming down the hillside.

"Alright where did you three drop in at?" I wonder to myself as I draw my two magnums out and start towards the covenant front.

Walking at a bearable pace to aim I put my right side first and fire with that hand. The single sound of a suppressed bullet then the mildly delightful sound of said bullet entering a Grunt's head.

The up ahead a Elite starts an advance on me so I start sprinting at them. The second we're only ten feet away I put my right side forward again and launch a kick into the Elite's chest. He staggers back, shields weakened, he growls just a split second before he realizes that he doesn't have a chance.

Pointing my magnum straight forward and pull the trigger.

It yelps and then falls to the ground looking dazed. Because it isn't alive anymore.

"Almost makes me feel bad." I murmur then smirk behind my VISR, "Almost."

Would recommend music here, 10/10.

3rd Person View

Yang slices down the side of a Jackal throwing it across the ground then cloaks.

5000 shotguns a Grunt and kicks a different one launching it into a Elite which flinches from the impact.

Sparky then runs up and batters the same Elite with the butt of his DMR, then fires into the Elite's split chin.

"Crap we fell straight into the bad place!" 5000 shouts over the blasting and gunfire as he gets shot a bit but his shield keeps it from penetrating.
