Chapter 4: Backup

[(Y/N)'s POV]

I quickly emptied the clip of my magnum, killing off a group of grunts with one shot each. I then chucked the empty pistol at my target, a field marshal which was leading the charge. He hit it away with his right hand and began firing from the plasma turret he had in his hands, however I had already closed the distance enough to lunge passed his shots and grapple the Elite to the ground. I wasted no time and hammered my fist into his face repeatedly until his shield depleated. I then pulled my fist back further and delivered one final punch that caved in it's skull. I quickly grabbed the energy sword on his side and stood up, facing the rest of the assault that still pressed forward. I was out of breath, my energy is running low, and everyone else is dealing with their own groups. I powered up the energy sword and stood strong.

Me: "Come on you alien freaks! Who's next!?"

Three zealots lead the next charge. Each with energy swords. I started moving forward to close the distance faster.

Me: "Alright assholes, line up!"

I broke into a sprint and clashed swords with the first Elite. I quickly kicked the zealot away as I rolled back to dodge another zealot's strike. I sprung forward and got on the back of the zealot that tried to flank me. I jammed my sword into the back of it's head, then hopped off of it and readied myself for the zealot I kicked away moments ago, who was charging once more.

Me: "Do your fucking worst!"

I ran at him and ducked under a slash, then drove my sword through the zealot's chest. I kicked him off my sword and tried to catch my breath, only to quickly realize I forgot something. I moved to the side as the third zealot went to stab me from behind. For a moment I thought I dodged fully, until the pain of the energy sword piercing my shoulder set in. I screamed in agony as the zealot kicked me forward. Making me roll forward and slide across the ground. As I rolled I managed to grab the shotgun off my back, which only had a few shots left. My helmet fell off as I slid to a stop. I landed on my back and aimed up at the zealot, who was closing in quickly. I pulled the trigger and managed to get a clean shot to his head and chest area. He cried in pain as he fell backwards. I sloppily got up and jumped onto the Elite that was still writhing on the ground. I pulled the tactical knife from the holster on my chest and stabbed it into his temple. I ripped it out of his head and rolled off of him. I sluggishly got up and stumbled over to my helmet, then picked it up and put it on.

Scarlet: "Redirecting all energy into recovery-"

Me: "No. Focus on offensive systems, keep shields at min-"

Scarlet: "Recovery systems at maximum capacity. Estimated recovery time at 7 minutes."

Me: "Scarlet? Nows not the time to play nurse."

I quickly grabbed my shotgun off the ground and looked around. The students and Ozpin were fighting off groups of aliens best they could and it seemed their aura was holding up against plasma to an extent. They're a lot faster then the Elites so they're doing pretty good. There's just too many of them.

Scarlet: "Slip space drive detected. Call sign UNSC Aegis Fate."

Me: "What?!"

I looked to the sky and saw the UNSC frigate entering orbit. Longswords flew from the hanger bay and began targeting the fleet of Covenant ships. The Longswords immediately flew straight for the closest Corvette's top side landing bay, the most exposed portion on a ship that size. The only thing protecting it is an atmosphere shield, which doesn't protect against any kind of fire... or people.

Me: "They plan to take it out from the inside...? They can't think that that'd work for all-"

I caught the glimpse of something fly by my head, which was a needle from a squad of grunts. I ran at them, knowing that I couldn't waste the ammo on such small targets.

Scarlet: "Weapon drop pods incoming."

Suddenly an assortment of pods slammed into the ground, the covers flying off as soon as they landed. I spotted one directly in front of me and sprinted for it. Inside the pod was a DMR and two extra clips. I ran past it, snagging the weapon while still keeping my speed. I strapped the DMR to my back then pulled my knife from the holster on my chest. Just as I was getting close to the grunts something slammed directly into the group of grunts. I shielded my visor as dirt flew at me. When I finally looked at the object I saw it was a drop pod. The door flew off of the pod, making me have to roll to the side to not be hit by it.

Scarlet: "Spartan IFF tag detected."

Suddenly a Spartan jumped out of the pod and looked around. He was in full blue and black infiltrator armor.

Spartan: "Looks like you started the party without us, I'm a little-"

He suddenly raised a Battle Rifle and and fired past me, hitting a charging jackal.

Spartan: "Sad about that."

Me: "What took you so long?"

I chuckled under my breath.

Spartan: "I don't know how the hell you got here but you're way out of the UNSC's territory, hell, we didn't even know this sector existed."

I raised my DMR quickly and fired past the Spartan and hit a sneaking grunt.

Me: "Long story. Do you guys have a plan to get rid of the fleet up there."

Spartan: "Yup, hold on."

A female voice suddenly came over the local channel.

Female: "Covenant corvette is under our control. We good to go to phase two?"

Spartan: "Go ahead Sarah. Did they give you any trouble?"

The female chuckled.

Sarah: "Come on, it's me we're talking about. They didn't stand a chance."

Spartan: "Yeah Yeah, just get to work."

The Spartan then looked to me.

Spartan: "Alright we should probably clear the area fast."

Me: "Why?"

Spartan: "Lets just say there's about to be a firework show."

I looked up to see the Covenant corvette shift itself towards the other ships... then begin to speed up.

Me: "Oh shit..."

I turned to the students and screamed as loud as I could.

Me: "Everybody fall back!"

The Spartan and I began running away from the fleet.

Me: "What about the Spartan inside the corvette?!"

Spartan: "Trust me, they'll be fine."

Sarah: "We're headed out the door now. Oh, and I may or may not have overloaded the slip-space drive while I was in there, so everyone might want to back away a bit more."

Spartan: "Good thinking Sarah. You and NOX gonna be good to get out of there with that kind of explosion?"

Sarah: "We're taking off now, are we meeting on the ship?"

Spartan: "No, once the explosions clear follow my coordinates. There's a Spartan down here, he must've sent the signal."

Sarah: "Got it."

[(A/N): Hey Guys! Sorry about the long wait. The three people I've chosen for the fireteam are @Cl3verRapt0r's NOX, @elijahbailey6's Elijah, and @socram132's Sarah! However because it's been so long if the three of you have any changes you'd like to make to the characters just let me know. Anywho, DarkPrince out!]
