Sierra 716, a lost spartan.
Assualting The Spire
Load Full StoryNext ChapterCovenant spires, tall, blue, alien towers emitting advanced cloaking. Shielding, hiding items and intel from humans. Currently Sierra 716 and her squadron of UNSC ground troops were on a stealh mission to take out one of the many spires.
"This is Sierra 716, We are currently half a klick from the mission objective and closing. The covenant is still unaware of our presence. Over"
"Copy that Sierra 716, thats good to hear. Over."
"As of now we will remain silent until the objective is complete. See you soon command. Over."
Sierra 716's, or Breane as she was known to her fellow spartans and Dr. Halsey, squadron consisted of four falcons housing five ODSTs or marines each, excluding the driver.
The shield from the spire was now an stones throw away and the falons were entering in three.
Two
One. When you pass through the shield, you feel a small tingeling sensation on your entire body, twenty marines/ODSTs and a spartan were all feeling this currently as they passed through. The one problem with this plan was that a spire's shield shuts down a falcon's electronics.
"Shit Shit Shit! Everyone prepare for a rough landing!" Sierra 716 shouted on the comm line.
One falcon crashed into another causing a fire to light up the shy. Both of the other falcons crashed onto the hard soil, but niether lost any men. Most unijured, one broken leg. Luck seemed to be with the UNSC today, somewhat.
Sierra 716 recoved from the crash after a light daze. Her m6D magnum was still holstered, and her MA37 assualt rifle was a few feat away. Sierra 716 un-holstered her side arm and aimed forward to see an oncoming line of grunts, twelve bullets was equal to twelve dead grunts.
Soon after the UNSC foorpt soldiers got over the haze of the crash and started picking themselves up. After one minute all the capable soldiers were in cover, laying down a heavy line of fire. The array was slowly sending the covenant back
"Everyone MOVE UP!" Sierra 716 shouted. All nineteen soldiers crept their way up to the next line of rocks, this time the covenant were a bit closer. One sangheili was able to separate a rookie marine from the group. Thesangheili was a zealot and was hold a sword of pure energy in his right claw.
The marine slowly crept back until he hit a solid surface. The zealot brought up his right arm, preparing for the killing blow. But it never came, the marine was sprayed with a warm, blue liquid. The private looked up to see the zealot collapsing on its side with a hole it in its head. Where the zealot was standing was a spartan with a hand held fire arm in the air "Don't get yourself killed Jenkins, be a shame to die on you first mission."
The marine could only return a shakey laugh and crawl back to his position. Sierra 716 was about to do the same until she saw a grunt running in fear. On instinct she grabbed it by the mouth and brught her combat knife through its head, a swift kill.
Sierra 716 saw something odd. It was a grunt but it wasn't carrying a needler or plasma pistol. What it was, was a large, metallic yellow, and shoulder mounted weapon... A fuel rod cannon. As it was running the grunt let off two shots. They were both heading towards Sierra 716, but she was able to shiftt to the right in time.
The to plasma rockets streamed past Sierra 716, one hit a marine. The maarine crumpled to the ground screaming in agony as he realized his leg was blown off. The other rocket rebounded off the ground and rock and started towards an ODST
"LOOK OUT!" Sierra 716 shouted at the troop. The ODST realized the spartan was shouting at him and turned over only to be met with plasma. The plasma tore off half of his entire head letting brain matter and blood leak onto the cold surface of his cover.
"Fuck!" Sierra 716 shouted as a ficus rifle beam shot past her face, causing her to dive down. Sierra 716 pierred back to find the sniper, a jackal one hundred metres off. Tough shot with a magnum "Seargant Cob, lend me your sniper!"
"Yes ma'am." said a thick marine. He tossed the rifle at the spartan, to most marines the rifle was one of the heaviest weapons, but to Sierra 716 it was a feather. Going over her memory of the jackal, Sierra 716 was able to get an idea of where the shot came from. Sierra 716's guees was about ten metres off, she shifted the rifle so the sights were dead on the jackal. CRACK. The sniper round left a trail of smoke as it entered and exited the jackal's head.
"MOVE UP."
The UNSC troops were now under the spire, next to the gravity lifts leading to the top. "Alright I want you split into even groups one going in on the left, and I will be joining the group on the right. Everyone under stand?"
"YES MA'AM!" all the marines shouted in unision.
"Alright lets do it!"
"HOORAH!" The marines diveded in thirty seconds and entered the gravity lifts. Sierra 716 followed her group up hoping for the best.
When Sierra 716 was half way up all of the marines were entering the spire. Sierra 716 began to hear screams, plasma fire and gun fire, not good. When she entered the top she was thrown into the air by the end of the gravity lift. The super soldier landed on the cylinder in between the gravity lifts and saw Private Jenkins on the floow covered in blood, all human blood. Next and elite stood over Jenkins and raised his plasma rifle. The elite released a jet of plasma which connected with Jenkins' temple killing him instantly.
"NO!" The spartan screamed and launched herslf at the elite. Both landed on the ground with Sierra 716 on top. The enraged soldier shoved her MA37's barrel in the elite's mouth and squeezed on the trigger. The armor piercing rounds shredded apart the elite's head spaying bone, brain matter flesh and blood every where.
Once the clip was finished Sierra 716 stood up, reloaded and was now currently holding her magnum and assualt rifle. Somewhere another elite roared and sprinted towards the sparten. The footsteps from the elite gave away its position, and Sierra 716 raised her M6D and fired off threerounds, all connecting with the elite's head. Three more elites roared from the same side as the last one, all three charged. The lone sparted sprinted for a few seconds over blood and corpses until she reached the core. Sierra 716 unloaded her entire magnum clip into the core breaking it and dropping the shields.
"Command mission objective compl--
Sierra 716 was cut off by a barbed, crystaline shard connecting with her neck "Oh Shit."
The needle exploded shredding part of her neck and letting blood spill out. Sierra 716 turned around and fell to her knees once she saw the elites and realized she was cornered. "Command, I don't think I'm gonna make. Fire on position."
"What! No, we're sending a pelican your way!"
"JUST FUCKING DO--
Once again Sierra 716 was cut off, but this time it was by energy entering and exiting her stomach "I'm dead now jus... Just do it." Sierra 716 whimpered.
"It has been an honour Breane."
Sierra 716 peered out the spire window and saw the UNSC Eclipse come into view and fired off a mac missile. The first landed near the spire damaging it. Another missile was shot, this one was heading for Sierra 716, it connected. White, white was the only thing that could be seen.
"Great Idea Twilight, havin' ah picnic out here."
"Thank you Applejack, I've come out here before and noticed this spot and thought we had to have a picnic here."
"The skys clear so I can show you girls my new stunts."
"Oh that would be so super-duper cool Dashie!"
The six friends all had the days off from their duties, they had decided to come out for a picnic. Fluttershy had laid down a checkered blanket. Almost instantly Rainbow Dash put on a pair of shades and stretched out on the blanket. Pinkie Pie had brought five baskets of sweets, how she brought them all nopony knew.
The picnic was like any other one, all the mares chatted away happily. That, of course, was until a large BOOM was heard from the everfree forest. Fluttershy and Rarity fainted "What in tarnation..?"
"Girls we have to find out what that was, it could be a potentiol threat to Equestria!"
"Okey Dokey Lokey, We'll be ine any ways the author says so." (God damn it Pinkie)
"Pinkie you are so random, Yeah come we gotta see this girls!"
Rarity started to ponder "Wha... What happened?"
"Something blew up in the everyfree forest. We have to investigate it."
"Well, If you don't mind I'd rather take care of Fluttershy."
"Fine, Aj, Pinkie, Rainbow Dash lets go."Twilight announced. And with that two ponies ran into the forest, one flew and one... well Pinkie bounced.
