JerichoII October 25 2531
(Sgt. Eversmit Delta Company 3rd Regiment)
Eversmit sat by himself in a corner of the truck. Even though they were almost to the base he could still here the laag guns firing. The truck began to slow and he could see Alpha bases walls looming up. Alpha base was one of the last and one of the strongest human strong holds remaining on JerichoII. Alpha base was mostly made up of Rectangular buildings, which were the barracks, armouries, and the 3 different mess halls. On the west part of the base were the bases hangers. These hangers housed the bases Wart Hogs, Scorpions, Drop Ships, and Long Sword fighters, Bombers, and Inceptors. Then there was the central command post, which rose higher then all the other buildings. On the four corners of the base were guard towers, which housed laag turrets. Surrounding the base was a high-powered electric fence. As an edition to the fence the marines placed lotus mines and barricades to stop artillery from getting through. Just behind the fence are some mounds and foxholes that the marines dug.
(Capt Walker Central command post.)
"Sir the covenant are withdrawing but I don't think it will be for long" said Corporal Stocker.
"Roger that" replied Walker. "Lets use this time to set up some better defences. Send out combat teams Victor and Sierra to patrol the premiter. Set all marines on high alert."
(Sgt Lancer Front Gate 6th Regiment)
As soon as Delta company had left the Sgt returned to firing his laag gun at the now retreating covenant. "Alright get all the wounded into two hogs and get them to base and the rest of us will mop up the straglers!" shouted Lancer.
(Cruiser Jado touched down on surface of JerichoII)
"We have already been forced to retreat it will not happen again! I want all of our forces within the area to concentrate on that base." Said prophet Sris.
"Yes you exlency." Replied Avu.
(Capt Walker Central command post)
"Sir the covenant are coming back sir. But this time they have much more troops sir!" Said Corporal Stocker.
"Alright! Put every one on high alert and keep Juliet Company and Lancers Hogs at the front gate!" Replied Steal
(Juliet Company Sgt. Roy)
"Alright message from Base! They said more covenant are on the way so lock'n load and lets show em they picked the wrong race to mess with!" Yelled Sgt. Roy. As soon as all of the marines were down under cover plasma began to fly over their heads. Then one of the marines yelled Fire! And tracer bullets ran into the covenant ranks. Roy ejected the used clip from his Assault Rifle and slammed in a fresh one and returned to fight of the covenant. The entire field before the marines was in chaos. There were grunts tripping over each other, Elites shoving other elites in front of them to take the blows, and Roy could have sworn he saw one jackal shoot another from behind. But this was no time to stop and think with all the people getting shot from his side. He turned around just as an elite ran into the electric fence only to go flying back 5 feet.
Two holes down from Roy Jason, GoodHart, Rose, and many other marines were being banged up pretty good. "Rose! Call the Sgt, tell him we need more men over here!" Yelled GoodHart the squad's m-60 gunner. GoodHart stopped shooting for a few seconds to see the situation but this was a bad choice. As soon as he stopped plasma came flying towards him. He tried to doge the plasma but instead dove strait into it.
"Shit!" Yelled Jason "Medic, Medic!" He yelled again. He ran over to GoodHarts body. His whole entire chest was black from the burns. Jason went to check for a pulse. He held his breath as he put his finger to GoodHarts neck. Jason was relived there was a pulse, it was faint but it was still there.
"Jason look out!" somebody yelled. Jason turned to see what had happened, but he wished he hadn't. One of the guard towers was hit by some sort of plasma and it was not falling. It wasn't falling twords him but what was falling twords him was a body of the man that was in the tower. "Holy shit." Jason said under his breath. He quicly grabbed GoodHart and dodged to the left. The body landed with a thud at the spot he was only a second ago. Breathing hard Jason yelled "Get GoodHart to the Hogs and get this man out of here!"
As soon as they had taken the man out Rose yelled to Jason and said "Get on the m-60!"
Jason turned around to face the gun and then looked past it only to see a group of grunts and jackels advancing on him. He thought he was dead but then out of the blue a Wart Hog came up and gunned them all down. For a few seconds Jason was so happy but then out of the corner of his eye he saw a grunt throw a plasma grenade at the Hog. No body but him had scene. He tried to yell but to late the Hog went up in a flash. Jason looked through the smoke and he could see 3 figueres coming out of the destroyed Hog.
