Immortal Warheads [Discontinued]

Chapter 28

The five Spartans, Noel, and her ODST's sat around the Pelican. They were all talking amongst themselves, some drinking or eating as Joseph was listening to music in the pilot seat. As everyone was talking Nova checked the time before she sat up running over to Joseph. "Hey Joseph, what time is it?" Joseph jumped a little and looked around before he peeked in his helmet. "1600." He rose a brow before Nova shook him. "And what time does the shipment leave?" "1600.....oh shit! Everybody we gotta go!" Everyone jumped up before pouring onto the Pelican, Joseph grabbing the controls lifting the ship up off the ground.
     As everybody was loading up their weapons Alex took a double take on Aloe before he leaned forward. Aloe was wearing only a sweater, combat boots and cargo pants. "Uh Aloe, I know you like taking risky chances. But did you forget your armor or?..." Aloe loaded a pistol and shook her head. "No I didn't Alex, I left it behind for a reason." Alex rubbed the back of his head before the others had a slight look of concern before Aloe put the pistol in its holster. "I hope whatever that reason is doesn't back fire boss." Joseph said as he was starting to lower the Pelican. "Well I was expecting to get there on time so yeah, I'm hoping too."

    As the Pelican entered the atmosphere a large truck with a long line of crates and warthogs following along its sides was driving down the road. "Looks like we got to drop on those trucks." Shepard said as Joseph handed the controls over to a Trooper. "Well this mission got a lot harder but a lot more fun. Alright Spartans on me!" Aloe said walking to the hatch as the others fell in behind her. "Get that Pelican real close trooper, I can handle a fall but not too far up." The trooper nodded as he began lowering it more. "Alright Spartans, when we drop all of you handle the main truck. I will go for the special cargo." Aloe slammed the button to open the hatch. "Fireteam Kazoo, the light is green!" Aloe leaped off with the others following suit. All of them landed on the top of the crates, as soon as they did Aloe split off. The others began heading towards the front of the truck, as they did marines and troopers began climbing up the sides. They readied their weapons aiming at all of the people they could.
    Aloe jumped into the special crate, it was small but that was because it held a single stasis chamber. As she began approaching it a gun shot whizzed by her head. She huffed and grabbed her pistol turning around and shooting back dropping a Marine. "I knew it wouldn't be that easy..." She slowly inched backwards shooting as anyone that dropped down. "Common, lets see how many of you can come to stop me."
    As the other four Spartans were half way to the truck they began getting surrounded, their backs had all been facing each other. As they dropped troops more filled their place until there was nowhere for them to go. As they aimed their weapons one of the troopers stepped forward. "Surrender yourselves and you will not be harmed." Joseph stomped his foot down. "Over our dead bodies." Nova and Alex looked at him before Nova spun her pistols and stood firmer, but Alex seemed to tense up a bit. "So be it Spartans." The troopers aimed their weapons at them. "Fire at will!" Just as the troopers began firing a cloud of smoke a dust had began picking up, as soon as it cleared a bubble shield was around them, it red colored showing it ready to fail but withstood the gun fire. In the middle of the Spartans stood Aloe, she was wearing old reach armor. Her old Mark IV helmet with the grenader chest piece, grenader kneeguards, and both shoulders had large guards. The colors were still white and yellow, as she began standing up straight she pulled out her pistol. She charged through the shield and began dropping troops, some bullets hit her but bounced off, not as sturdy as her new armor some stayed stuck in it. She riled back in pain going to whoever shot her, the other Spartans began firing as Aloe took other troops down. After they cleared out Aloe held her side huffing. "Its like getting hit with a bunch of rubber bullets...not fun." She chuckled a bit as the others walked up to her. "That's your old armor isn't it?" Joseph said reloading his carbine. "Yes, I knew they would be moving it. Since they took it from me and replaced it with my new stuff. And since we don't work for them anymore, I decided to take it back." She grabbed an assault rifle off the ground and loaded it up. "It's not up to date but it still hits like a truck. Also I had overcloaked it so it can use all the armor mods without changing them out. I have limited power so lets do this quick Spartans." The others nodded and began running down the line again. Aloe took a breath before running after them but at a slower pace. As soon as they reached the front Joseph looked around before grabbing Alex by the back of his armor and jumping off onto a warthog. Nova and Shepard shot into the drivers seat as Aloe ran passed them. "This thing isn't gonna stop unless something makes it." She looked around before she cycled through her armor mods. She stopped at armor lock and sighed. "Oh this is gonna hurt so bad. You two hold on tight. When this thing stops jump off onto the warthog alright?" Shepard and Nova nodded as Aloe jumped off onto another warthog driving it forward to get some distance. She jumped off and her armor began sparking as her armor locked up as she stood in front of the truck, the normal light turquoise color of the emp slowly turned yellow as she closed her eyes. The truck slammed into her causing it to lift off the ground. Shepard and Nova jumped off onto the warthog with Joseph and Alex, the truck began sliding down the road as Aloe was sliding down with the truck, her shields popped as she tried slowing herself down. The warthog drove up beside her as Shepard lifted her off the ground as the truck slammed into a building. "Holy shit..." Nova said before she hopped off the warthog running over to Aloe. "Holy shit are you okay!? Did you break anything!?" Her hands were all over Aloe feeling her over checking for any broken bones or blood. Aloe held her head and sighed. "Im fine, don't worry about it...just go get the stuff. I'll wait here..." Shepard eased Aloe into the seat as the others hopped off and started heading towards the truck. Nova on the other hand stayed beside her. "Why did you do that? Are you crazy?" Aloe groaned and took her helmet off, the side of her head had a little bit of blood running down. "No, just, a bit hard headed." She chuckled as Nova panicked more running a hand through her hair to try and find the wound. "Hard headed is an understatement you idiot." Aloe laughed more and leaned her head against Novas helmet. "I'll be fine...lets just get this stuff and go before the cops come." Nova stopped moving before she sighed pushing her head more into Aloes. "God I hate you..." She sighed out as Aloe laughed more.
