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

Part 5

Opens to General Black's Warthog speeding down the forest path. Michael Sullivan groans loudly every time Thomas Lasky makes a small turn.

April Orenski: "Lasky!"

Thomas Lasky: "It's harder than it looks!"

Sullivan groans in pain louder.

Orenski: "Hang in there, Sully!"

Lasky: "...Sorry!"

Chyler Silva turns to Lasky.

Silva: "You're doing fine! Just keep it steady!"

John-117: "Bear right, cadet. There's an exit directly ahead."

Lasky does as he is told, and continues down the path. Behind them, a Kig-Yar runs by.

Opens to the Warthog speeding down the path. Lasky looks around doubtfully.

John-117: "Faster, cadet. Four minutes to the Pelican. We have to get off the planet!"

Lasky presses down on the pedal. The Warthog's speed meter increases. Lasky continues to drive the Warthog down the path. Suddenly, a plasma grenade rolls out from the forest and into the Warthog's path, and detonates. Lasky yells in surprise.

Time slows down as the Warthog drives through the plasma and smoke. Dust and dirt spray its occupants. Everything then speeds back up as the Warthog comes under fire from Kig-Yar on both sides. Needler rounds hit the Warthog's plating. A "Warning" appears on the Warthog's speed meter, and the meter decreases. John fires the Warthog's turret and takes down a Kig-Yar Minor.

John-117: "Controlled-burst! Don't spray and pray!"

Flight-118: (COM) "You got it Chief"

Orenski, Silva, and Flight fire their assault rifles.

John-117: "Cadet! Two o'clock!"

Needler rounds continue to rain down on the Warthog. Lasky leans over toward the passenger's side to avoid getting hit.

Lasky: "Chyler, cover!"

Silva: "Covering!"

Silva stands up from her seat, takes aim and fires her assault rifle in two short bursts at a pair of Kig-Yar Minors. Her aim is true, and both aliens go down in slow motion. Scene then speeds back up as the Warthog continues on and gets out of range of the Covenant attackers.

John-117: (on the radio) "Kelly, track our position for evac."

Orenski: "I think we're clear."

Lasky looks at the Warthog speed meter, which emits a beeping sound as the vehicle picks up speed. He turns to Silva.

Lasky: "Nice job."

Silva looks at him and smiles. Suddenly, a Kig-Yar Minor appears directly in front of the Warthog. The vehicle plows right into the alien, sending it flying over the hood, and splattering the windshield with blood. The Jackal's Needler discharges several errant shots, one of which goes directly into the Warthog's interior. Lasky, caught by surprise, hits the brakes. The Warthog comes to a sudden stop. Silva and Orenski jerk forward. Sullivan groans even louder.

Orenski: "Everyone okay?"

John-117 jumps down from the turret as Lasky tries to restart the Warthog, which only sputters. John takes Sullivan out of the Warthog and sets him down on the ground. The Spartan turns to Orenski.

John-117: "Hand me the biofoam and man the gun."

Cut to Silva and Lasky. Silva looks down at her stomach while Lasky continues trying to reactivate the Warthog.
