Halo 4: Forward unto dawn X WOF (Wings Of Fire)

Part 1

"Cryo pods opening," Orlin said. Sully Chyler and Lasky get out and vomit some milky wite stuff while I get out and do not vomit. I walk over to my locker that has my academy combat armor and gets it on while the others are just now coming over and getting their armor on. Walter Vickers (COM): "Hastati Squad, 4 minutes to rendezvous point!" I grab my training rifle and load it with TTR. Chyler Silva: "Copy, Vickers. T-Minus 4 minutes." I start running out and take off to the sky with my wings Michael Sullivan: "Axios!" Dimah Tchakova (COM): "10 seconds, closing in! First checkpoint. Almost there!" Vickers: "We're under heavy fire!" Vickers: "Vickers, checkpoint!" Tchakova (COM): "Tchakova. Checkpoint!" Junjie Chen (COM): "Chen, checkpoint." Vickers (COM): "Checkpoint!" Vickers (COM): "Silva, Sullivan, Lasky, Flight - where are you guys?" Silver: "I am above the RV point" My motion tracker enlarges and moves to the center of his HUD, a red "X" appears over the green arrow representing Sullivan. A message appears over the motion tracker: CASUALTY: SULLIVAN. Vickers (COM): "Lasky, hurry up!" Lasky: "Landing in 3... 2... 1." Lasky makes it to the rendezvous point, a small concrete shelter under fire where the rest of Hastati Squad are taking cover. He continues to wheeze and cough. Chen: "Enemy inbound. They'll be on us in 35 seconds." Vickers: "Fresh mags in your weapon, prepare to attack." Lasky turns to Vickers in disbelief. Lasky: "What?" Vickers: "Our objective is to neutralize the Insurrectionists and acquire the target. We move on my mark." Chen: "30 seconds." Cuts to my motion tracker, now displaying enemy contacts inbound on two sides. Lasky: "We should flank them and force a surrender." Vickers: "We're too close to flank and Innies never surrender!" Silva: "Dimah and I could circle around. There's still time." Tchakova: "We can make it." Chen: "25 seconds. Guys?" Lasky: "It's our best move." Chen: "20 seconds." Vickers contemplates for a moment. Vickers: "No, we're sticking to my plan, okay? On my mark." Lasky: "It won't work." Vickers: "You're not in charge anymore, Lasky!" Silva: "Tom, just do what he says." Chen: "15 seconds."

Vickers shoots an urgent look at Lasky. Vickers: "They're my orders."Lasky: "I don't care." Chen: "10 seconds!"

Lasky and Vickers look at one another. The contacts on Lasky's motion tracker continue to converge on their position.

Chen: "5 seconds!"

Lasky charges out of the shelter.

Lasky: "Axios!"

Vickers: "Lasky!"

Lasky runs amidst heavy gunfire and explosions suddenly, he is hit in the chest by a training round and falls and Silver follows in the trees.

Lasky: "Augh!"

Lasky lies on the ground, breathing heavily. All is quiet before April Orenski appears from behind a reflective barrier and Silver lands on a tree branch nearby.

Orlin: "Hastati Squad leader on the field. Exercise paused."

Orenski walks to Lasky, still laying on the ground, aiming her rifle at him.

Orenski: "Let me guess, Lasky - you ignored orders."

Lasky: (panting) "It's just... another strategic casualty, sir."

Orenski: "Unacceptable."

Orenski shoots Lasky twice in the chest with training rounds. Lasky grunts loudly in pain.

Orlin: "Game over."

Orenski: (coldly) "Shoulder your weapon, cadet."

Members of the opposing squad rise from the undergrowth.

Male cadet: "Lasky screwed this one up."

Orenski continues to stand next to Lasky, who continues to cough and grunt.
