Nick Pov
As we board the Pelican a unknown man stands as the pilot. "Looks like you held the ground perfectly. Cuz' you guys had the hard job," The pilot implies with sarcasm.
"Yeah you can say That," Dillan growls towards the pilot.
"Aww come on Dills. Why you have to be such a downer?" The pilot asks. He's clearly not a Spartan, probably not even close to being augmented. And now I'm mentally insulting people I don't even know. What is wrong with me?
"Come on everyone in," Dillan, clearly ignoring the other pilot, orders the team.
"What, are you the leader now?" 5000 questions Dillan with unsensible emotion as he climbs into the back of the pelican with the rest of the team.
"I never said that douchebag," Dillan snaps like a thin rubber band. Wearing Mjolnir armor and armed with guns.
"Alright which one of you got her in a feisty mood?" The other more annoying pilot asks.
"Bow chica bow wow?" 5000 instinctively responds to the pilot's stupid question, but not without his own questioning.
"Let's just put some TV on," Dillan says gritting anger between your teeth.
"I haven't watched TV in a long time!" Sparky mentions as the screen inside the pelican is turned on
"Are you guys watching TV after just everything that just happened?" I can't refrain myself from slightly complaining.
"Everybody needs to chill!" Dillan freaks out on me, "So yes! We're watching the goddamn news," and with that she switches the frequency.
"Why are we watchin-" 5000 was going to comment boredom but then something on the news shuts everyone up.
"UNSC, or Covenant? The planet 'Atarii' had half its vegetation burned down after the Covenant inhabited the landscape and then the UNSC interfered with their Spartans. Even though a great site to see, 'Atarii' had a unique plant makeup. The question is though who burnt it all down."
"Thanks Jim, now the fire was caused by either the UNSC or the Covenant and whoever gets that blame it won't matter too much. Either way back to Reach's situation-"
"HEY THAT'S US!"
-Tiny time lapse Terra-
"Hey guys, are we winning?" Sparky asks as the pelican starts ascending towards the sky.
"I don't know. You think we're winning or something?" Dillan is the one to give Sparky a reply.
"I'm not sure! It seems way to obvio-" The whole pelican vibrates violently as a shattering sound comes from the cockpit.
"Oh come on great fucking timing," Dillan undoes her seat latch and hurries to the front.
"Come on give me a break," 5000 sighs loudly when Dillan leaves the back.
"HOLY SHIT!" Dillan screams from up front as the pelican lurches to the right in the sky, throwing the EMPs across the ship.
"Don't let those go off!" Sparky yips out loud and unbuckles his seat latch.
"Hey sit back down!" I try to reach for Sparky's arm but as he gets up the pelican lurches to the left throwing him and the devices against the wall. *Beep* "Ah shit one of them is on!" I yell out and start undoing my latch.
"What happened to sitting down?!" 5000 asks as I stand and grab hold of one of the bars.
"Plans changed!" I respond slowly making my way towards the front of the pelican.
The pelican starts leaning back to the right and Sparky mutters, "Oh no not again.." As he just got up and gets slid to the adjacent wall.
"I got you." 5000 partakes in helping by grabbing hold of Sparky and sitting him against the wall. As that's done I just make it to the door to the front cockpit.
"What happened?!" I exclaim in shock?! The middle section of the original pilot has obliviously been blown out by some plasma explosion, the front windshield is shattered in pieces.
"THAT!" Dillan points out the front with one hand, just barely hiding behind a dark cloud is a giant covenant cruiser charging up a indefinite large shot. Not only adding to the mix a phantom is clearly making a forward on us.
"Shit! I'll be right back we have another problem!" I yell as I hit the button that unlocks the back hangar, "I'll be back in a second!" I shouted as I ran to the back- "Hell!" I grasped on to the nearest bar as I almost skidded and fell out of the pelican.
"The one is beeping a lot now!" Sparky makes a loud and obvious examination of the EMPs.
"Which one though?!" I hold tightly onto the metal bar that keeps me from falling out of the Pelican. But before Sparky had time to answer and respond, "Just screw the mission, we don't have to EMP the ship when we can blow it up!" I let go and almost sliding at a ninety degree angle I land a front kick on the group of anti-electronics.
"Are you crazy?!" 5000 shouts at me with a WTF inside his voice as the EMPs fall from the Pelica-
"FUCK."
All I can say as the EMP that was activated sends a whole pulse out.
"This is gunna hurt. A lot." And that was the last thing I thought as I fell through that green and blue sky and out of the pelican.
??????? Pov
"What the hell was-that was THEM." I pick up my pace with my sword off in my hand.
"When do EMP effects wear off?" I look down at the hilt that soon will just pop back on and probably slice my hand off. I guess nothing new. I get the worse end of these swords anyway. Time to find a way to get to the other side of this damned city, preferably before I get stabbed.
"I got it," I tell myself unconsciously, "Car. .. Well I mean their everywhere. I'm sure no one will mind if I just.-" *Crash!* "Oops, broke the window. Welp, I didn't mean to accidentally unlock the door, or to get inside.... WHO AM I EVEN TALKING TO?!"
