Downed Guardians (Halo x Pony)

~READ THE LONG DESCRIPTION FOR CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS!~

Lead stood before his team, his hands behind his back. They were all silent, as the Pelican slowed to land on the side of a mountain of Sanghelios. They were to fight the slowly-rebelling Covenant Forces. He had already given mission briefing, and their white visors shown as the door started to open. They began to march out the door-

And already, someone had engaged. The left wing of the Pelican exploded into an indigo flame, and it began to fall. As it did so, the team of six jumped from the back, soon followed by Winger, via jetpack, who had been piloting before the shot. Recon was already scoping in, a laser pointed outward. "We have hostile forces to our west," Recon muttered. Seconds after finishing, she pulled the trigger to the rifle, sending a beam of light into what looked, from there, a spec that disappeared. Lead and the others jumped from the side, falling down the side of the mountain, firing at anything that moved (that wasn't yellow). Before slamming into the ground, they activated the thrusters on their back, stabilizing them in the air before they hit the ground. They continued to fire at any other Grunts dashing forward, before taking cover behind rocks as a Beam Rifle's shot nearly took off Newt's head. Grant launched one last rocket into a Wraith, which exploded like a multi-colored firework, before diving to the ground beside Lead. "UNSC, this is Spartan L-Thirty-Four-D, we request backup in these coordinates: Seventy-Seven S, Thirty-Four A, on planet Sanghelios." Lead sounded calm, as if he'd lived through this hundreds of times before. "Roger, we're sending in Viper." Viper was an old code-name used between Lead and his two oldest comrades, Jerry and Barcroft.

It took nearly thirty minutes of fighting before a Hornet arrived, dropping off Barcroft and Jerry. Barcroft was the first of the two firing, using his stabilizers to keep him in the air as he aimed through the scope, firing at multiple Grunts with his DMR. Jerry landed, then opened fire, orange lights scattering among the Covenant like a minigun. Lead jumped over the Covenant Drop Pod that he was using as cover and opened fire with his SMG. The rest of the team followed suit, and Grant stayed behind a rock as cover from Airships. Eventually, multiple Drop Ships came down, in an attempt to drop down more hostile Covenant forces before one got blasted in the Plasma Engine via Grant's launcher, sending it into the second one. They exploded on impact and part of the debris hit the cockpit just right of the third, taking out the Elite driver, sending it into the canyon nearby. After the blasts, there were no more Covenant to be seen, not in fighting condition, anyways. Lead commanded the Yellows to stay behind, except for Recon, and then, with Jerry and Barcroft close behind, began to walk through the now-bloodied land, searching for any nearby camp sites. They began to approach one-

And the Warden appeared. "More of humanity's threat has arrived. Perfect." He stared at them with hunger in his eyes. "We have nothing to deal with you, sir. We're required to defend our allies." Lead stated this in a cold tone. The Warden growled, "Then defend who you think's priority." A pair of Knights and multiple Crawlers appeared behind him, and he disappeared, appearing on top of a nearby mountain. Lead and Barcroft were immediate to engage with the Knights. Jerry and Recon began to take down Crawler after Crawler. Lead dodged a slash from the Knight's blade, and jammed his Mag's barrel into it's chest, using enough force to stagger it, shutting down it's shields, before blasting it's chest open. The Knight fell back before disappearing in an orange dust. Barcroft latched onto his Knight's back, slitting through it's neck before severing it's head from it's body, which both disappeared in orange dust. The Warden reappeared between Lead and Barcroft, who attempted to rush him with their weapons. The Warden didn't flinch. The two then ran up and were close to hitting with Melee weapons before the Warden sent them blasting back-And somehow, the four Spartans to an alternate dimension.
