~Chapter 16: Glass~

 

“What’s that giant sphere under the ship charging up?” Destroyer asked.

 

“What giant...” Archangel began. “Oh god, we need to get out of here! They’ve already started glassing the planet.”

 

Alex turned around from his conversation with Sarge and Paladin, “I say we head East of here. Establish a comms link with Osiris, and get those Cruisers away from us. They’re too close and any second now they’ll send in Spirit’s and Phantom’s to scout the area.”

 

Sarge stood up and moved over next to Alex, “He’s right. We need to leave here and head East towards New Alexandria. There we will repel Covenant attacks, as well as rescue any and all Civilians we can and get them to the UNSC Warlord.” He made eye contact with everyone before he continued, “Ready up.”

 

“Osiris, how much longer do we have?” Sarge got on the Comms.

 

No response.

 

“Osiris?” Sarge tried again.

 

Nothing.

 

Wait, a faint signal broke in. It was barely understandable.

 

“S... o... th... onds... eav...” The signal came in.

 

“Repeat again?” Alex took liberty of the Comm’s while Sarge scanned the sky.

 

“Oh my... We need to leave. Now! No questions, sprint as fast as you can East!” Sarge took off.

 

Ten...

Nine...

Eight...

Seven...

Six...

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One...

 

The Cruiser’s opened up the glass raids.

 

“Damn, I feel third-degree burns all over my skin!” Paladin screamed in pain.

The noise stopped, and the heat slowly breezed away.

 

“What just happened?” Archangel pulled out his binoculars.

 

One of the Cruiser’s was on fire and headed towards the surface of Reach.

 

“Oh, that explains it. We need to keep moving forward.” Archangel put his binoculars away.

 

“What took out the Cruiser’s, Archangel?” Sarge questioned him before he continued forward to New Alexandria.

 

“Archer Missiles. By the looks of it, a lot of them. Could be Osiris. Not for sure. The Cruiser is engaged in the atmosphere with whatever took out the other ship.” Archangel headed East.

 

Sarge looked at Alex and shrug. They both walked with the group Eastward towards New Alexandria. The trip continued.

Whish, Whish, Whish, Whish.

 

“What’s that sound?” Bek asked.

 

“What sound?” Phoenix stood still.

 

“Hey thought we could join ya.”

 

Team Lord turned around.

 

It was Doc, Gregor, and Destroyer.

 

“Glad you could make it. Any word on Cajun?” Sarge walked up to them.

 

“Yes, infact he’s above us.” Gregor smiled and cokced his head up.

 

There, hovered in the air. Was a Hawk. One of the most capable Air-to-Ground aircraft to ever be created. With a side of badass. The gauss cannon charged up.

I found this chapter to be a bit too short and lacked details in events. :)

That's because it was more of a chapter where I was just wanting to get the rest of the team involved in the event. I mean, I could've added in your death sooner if you want.
