*Click*
I immediately snap to attention and freeze. The sound of a gun's safety being clicked off is very audible when its at the back of your head.
"I was listening that night: You don't belong here," Purple says with a Magnum to the back of my exposed head and into my grey-black hair.
I breathe a little heavily and can feel myself smile a bit, "Yup. Still have had guns pointed at me before."
"I'll make it your last time," She threatens and pushes it against harder.
I laugh a bit and my smile turns into a smirk, "First time?"
"Hu-?" I interrupt her by quickly disarming and twisting around with the gun now in my hand.
"Got yo-" She in turn interrupts me by pulling another Magnum out and aims it back at me from only a distance of five feet
We both stand aiming at each other with the same weapon.
"Who was it that you we're talking to? It wasn't the UNSC. Insurrectionists? I don't care. You aren't a real Spartan," She continues as she still aims the Magnum with both hands. I'm holding mine with only my right hand, standing sideways to minimize her possibility to hit me with a shot.
"What am I scared of? You're only just a ODST, no augmentation," I keep my head down because I still don't have my helmet.
"Watch who your talking to. I am a certified-"
*Bang*
"You god damn cheat," She spits out after I fire into her chest, it didn't do really anything considering the fact that she is wearing a set of Hell Jumper armor.
"Oops. My mistake," I taunt and then switch to two hand aim.
"You mother-effer I'll make you pay!" She shoots me twice in the torso taking me by surprise and then charges me and tackles both of us off the cliff. While falling in mid air I take a swing down at her only to get returned with something metal to the chin.
My vision blurrs for a second before- Wham!
Owwww that was actually painful as all hell!
I barely open my eyes to see her struggling to get up just a couple feet away from where I landed.
"I know who y-you are.." She barely manages and gets to a crawling position starting towards a Magnum.
"No.. You, don't.." I grab her by the leg and pull her back towards me, then I start getting up. I look to my left at the Magnum over there, then to my right and behind. "There we go," I mutter and pick up the pistol cocking it and turning back around.
It seems she's recovered from the fall too because she grabs the Magnum over there and tries to point it at me with shaky hands.
"Oh no thank you!" I roll away and then get up to my feet, the landscape where I fought the Hunters has now become the landscape for this bi-
*Kvvrk* A bullet flies past me and into the ground. All other four colors run past Purple and towards me.
I waste no time to talk and then aim with my eleven bullet Magnum. Aiming for the closest one (Yellow) I fire two shots which makes *Thunk* sounds. He falls and barely catches himself from damaging himself worse.
Wait a second, I can see their health statuses! The armor they have shows me, perfect.. I can see that I shot him in the chest then the left leg.
Blue comes closest now and runs up a boulder then jumps over across behind me, I would turn around but still two others are rushing up to me, Red and Green. I have to assault the bigger number first to make sure I minimize the damage. I can see Purple get up and aim from behind the rest.
I already start dodging to behind the rock Blue launched over and I look towards Blue now who's also aiming at me, crap I can see what's happening now. Nine I've got nine shots left. I aim and before Blue can react I fire at her, two of the three hit them in the chest. She falls back and fires off a couple shots into the air by accident.
"Noo!" I can hear Purple yell from the back. Footsteps rush closer to my position and I can tell that Red and Green are just coming up now. Taking stance I stay behind the rock as I stand up to fire, putting my right side first I can- *Kvvr-* Another bullet flies past me as another comes by as well. I duck back down as more bullets fly over head.
"Crap! Missed!" I hear Purple yell again.
"Take right!" Green yells most likely to Red, why are they making this so obvious? I stand up once more and open fire four bullets to where I heard Green yell: *Thunk thunk thunk*
"OW my arm!" He yells out in pain, that makes me think that I shot him, specifically in the arm. And I've got the HUD to prove it.
"HA!" Red surprises me and swings knocking the Magnum right out of my grip. I return the favor and swing upwards slamming a fist into their helmet, it doesn't knock their helmet off but it lodged it in a weird position. Taking quick advantage I kick Red back and they fall over a branch with a loud thud.
Before I can notice it was way too late, Purple comes in and drop punches me. I stumble back with a bit of a taste of blood in my mouth. She continues and then back hands into my face again. I take the moment of her strike and punch downwards.
I make contact with her back and she flinches back away from me. She still has her gun and she aims at me with it. I do nothing but stand there and feel my lip, I look down at my hand as I pull it away, a bit red.
Looking back up at her she aims at my head now and *Click*
"Some one wasn't counting," I mock and rush at her as she reloads a new mag into the pistol. The second the mag enters and clicks in is the second my leg makes contact with her stomach and she flies back letting the Magnum go.
I grab the Magnum out of mid air and then aim while walking. *Bang, bang, bang, bang*
"Ugh.." Purple staggers, then falls back and lies there deceased.
"What the he-" *Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang* I fire off the remaining mag at Red before she could finish speaking.
"Sadly I can't say they all killed themselves, but I can say that it wasn't me."
"I'm not dead fool," Green barely manages out and aims at me with only one hand. I stand completely still as two bullets miss and fly by me. I don't even comment as I throw my empty Magnum at Green knocking them right in the noggin. They fall back and stay down on the ground.
"Hmm. Now I must ask myself, how am I to explain this?"
"... Eh it won't matter."
"Huh you're here?!"
