[IC] ODSTs: Hunters Become Hunted (Datadogie + kalinsovrin)

[datadogie]

Sarah puts a bandage around her waist, and grabs her sniper rifle, putting it onto her back while taking out her pistol and pointing it at the innie. Mary comes up, looking shy and cowardly. "I'd prefer to be in a pelican right now." She whispers, aiming her pistol at the Innie, shaking a little.

[kalinsovrin]

James signaled for Mary to stand down. He held his position until their evac pelican got there. A few marines hopped out and forced the innie to the ground. James motioned for everyone to get on the pelican. The moment Mary gets on she will be asked to be the co pilot for the flight back. James sits in a seat at the back as his men join him.

[datadogie]

Mary climbs up to the pelican's cockpit, and sits on the co-pilot's seat. Sarah quickly boards the craft, and sits down, groaning. "This hurts. Like, really bad. Fucking Innie." She stands, and her normally calm self turns to anger. Jorge sits down, grinning at Sarah. "Aw, is the woman getting bitchy?" Sarah quickly starts to punch the Innie in the face. "Bastard!" She hisses.

[kalinsovrin]

As the marines move to stop her james stands up and blocks their path. They order him out of the way but he stands his ground. " you don't want to try and stop this you idiots. This is her venting anger you mess with that it and it will be you with a broken face." He says calmly.

[datadogie]

"Is everything alright back there?" Mary says over the COM. Sarah elbows a marine who got past James out of the way, and then launches another punch at the Innie. "Fucking bastard!" She hisses at the man, who, even as a stone hard Innie, couldn't help but feel scared at the ODST beating him up. "Causing me and the poor citizens of this planet harm!" One last hard punch, and then she walks back to her seat in the very back corner of the craft, shaking in pain and fury. "Idiot." She mumbles to herself.

[kalinsovrin]

The pilot took off and they were on their way. James walked to the cockpit. He asked how long till they got to base. They told him 7 minutes. He sat down across from Sarah. She was the only one still with him from his first mission. He had lost the others today or weeks ago. He sighed this was a hard job for all of them.

[datadogie]

Sarah sighs, and takes off her helmet. Tears ran down her cheeks. "Our squadmates are dead. Almost all of them are dead." She whispers to herself. "Dead. Not even MIA. Dead. All because of the Innie scum." She glares at the Innie, who is rubbing his cheek. More tears spill down her face.

[kalinsovrin]

James walked from his seat to where the innie sat. He drew back his fist and delivered 3 swift blows to the mans gut. These blows would not cause internal bleeding but would cause internal bruseing. "Its scum like you that give us all a bad name. You don't fight for any real reason. You just fight to have the thrill of battle." He then went back to his seat and sighed again.

[datadogie]

Mary looks at her computer, and cocks her head, tapping the pilot on the shoulder. "Hey, Murray, have you heard of any more craft meant to be approaching this system?" Murray, the pilot, shakes his head. "Nope. Might be some idiot who disobeyed the order not to come here." Mary nods. "Probably. I think that's the base two kilometers ahead. Activating flaps." She activates the flaps, and the craft begins to decelerate and descend.
Sarah continues to cry over the dead squadmates.

[kalinsovrin]

As they set down james stood and put his hand on Sarah's shoulder. " come on we have to go. They died doing what they loved. They died helping people." He walk out of the pelican and looked around.

[datadogie]

Sarah nods, standing, walking out of the pelican with her helmet off. Mary exits the pelican after checking the pelican is fully shut down, and stretches out. "Ah, fresh air." She glances at Sarah, but says nothing to her, as she knows what ODSTs are like. Instead, she looks around for a moment. "I need to make my report. I guess I'll see you guys around." She winks at James before walking off. Sarah sighs, and begins to slowly make herself stop crying. "I hate this." Jorge remains on the pelican, handcuffed.

[kalinsovrin]

James puts his hand on her shoulder and says " hey at least they will not have to suffer the fate of the rest of us. To grow old alone. Most of us in the military will spent our whole life in the military." He would have continued if not for a worthog filled with Spartans driven by. He had heard of the Spartans being deployed recently to help fight the innes but also to fight something else that hadn't been told about yet. If Spartans are here then things are bigger than he had been lead to think.

[datadogie]

Sarah nods in reply. "I need to go to the medical building, get myself patched up properly." She tugs lightly at the bandage around her waist. "I-I guess I'll catch you in a bit, sir." She begins to walk off in the direction of the medical building.

Meanwhile, in the main building, Mary was giving her report to the higher-ups. In that report, she included the strange slipspace signature she had picked up on the way back to the base. As Mary left the room, the higher-ups began to talk among themselves, trying to figure out what the signature was.

[kalinsovrin]

james walks around the area and then goes to the supply tent. he gets a new bio foam can and a new med kit. he looked around while the suppler also got him more ammo. what he saw gave him a shock. he had looked back to the city and saw what could only be a ship drop out of slipspace in orbit over the city. he could make it out clearly it was in no way human. he noticed the spartans turn and make their way to the command tent. he grabbed his new supplies and then ran to the med tent.

[datadogie]

Mary was called into the command tent, and she thought that the debrief was already over for her. She walks back in, and is told to take a seat near the Spartans. Her eyes widen a little, but she follows the orders, even though she is a bit nervous to be this close to a Spartan, let alone a group of them.

Sarah was lying on a bed in the medical tent, getting her wounds attended to. The process would be finished in about ten minutes. She was James run in, and waved at him lightly.

[kalinsovrin]

"we have a situation out side this tent. we may be called into action so you rest and get well. i will need you the moment we get called in." he said to her as he took up position outside the enterance to the tent. if anything thought it would just walk in and kill those in this tent it would have hell to pay trying to get through him. he had trained with a spartan and knew that his shotgun at close range could overpower even their armor shields. the armor was the only thing that saved the spartan from a painful death.

[datadogie]

Sarah nodded, and continued to let the medics do their job. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and the corner of the command tent blew up. An alarm was set off, and the main intercom of the base started to blare orders. "Pilots; Delta-one-four, Echo-four-niner, Charlie-two-one, prepare for top-priority mission tasking. Remaining ODSTs, get to pelican four-three. Other Pelican pilots, scramble." The person on the intercom continued to give orders. Mary quickly got up and ran over to pelican four-three, as that would be the pelican she would be piloting. She quickly got into the pilot seat.
Sarah got up as soon as the medics were done, slipping on her helmet and beginning to walk fast-pace to the pelican that she was supposed to be boarding, nodding to James as she passed.

[kalinsovrin]

as james got on the pelican he noticed that several more spartans had shown up and one was heading to their pelican. from this distance he could make out the numbers on his chest plate. 101. he didnt know this spartan himself but he knew that a spartan with them meant things were going to get bad.

[datadogie]

Sarah scowls lightly at the Spartan. She had never like them that much. They took all the glory from the ODSTs.
Mary peered over her shoulder and out the door of the cockpit, then back at her console. "This is Delta-one-four, awaiting mission tasking." She clicked on and off her COM, then she peered back through the door. "Is everyone on board?" She calls out. She wondered why there was no co-pilot or crew chief on board the pelican.

[kalinsovrin]

" we are all here lets get going." james said. command sent their orders to mary. they were to go to the center of the city and engage the hostiles that were currently assaulting the oni building there. james glared at the spartan for a bit and then looked out the back as they took off.
