[Misson] The Covenant's Invasion

[Blackout]

Raiden arrived a little after everyone else by choice, but he wasn't dashing along the ground, but the through the air. Actually, he himself looked rather dashing. (French accent: hahaha)

"....This team isn't supposed to be slaughtered in the first five minutes of battle."

He dived towards the ground where the 5 elites were lobbing grenades. He aimed his assault rifle towards them and began raining down a shower of bullets at them.

*Setsuna continued to fire at the barricades that the enemy was behind, but to no avail- his rounds weren't getting through. Realizing what had to be done, he pulled the strap of his assault rifle up so the hot (but rapidly cooling due to the temperature) barrel was resting on his back. While doing so, he scrambled to his feet, keeping his knees bent, and while pulling his sniper rifle off his shoulder and getting it into a firing grip, began to calm his mind into the focus known as the Heart of Stone. His thoughts began to clear and become brutally linear. Looking around, he saw a number of grenades go into the air, and even without the Heart activated fully, he could see where the grenades were going to land: on the Ghost transports.*

~We can't lose all of them.~

* A sudden ray of sunlight from the sky pierced down on the battlefield and allowed Setsuna to see what he had to do now. Getting ready, he took a preparatory breath, and let it go, counting off the seconds while analyzing the situation.*

~Four on Clark's, I don't have time for his.~

*Lifting his rifle and adjusting for recoil and delay, Setsuna puts his eye down the scope, curls his finger around the trigger, and as the eighth second since he let out his breath passed, he knew this was the moment, when his body's adrenaline rush was aiding his mind more than his body, when he was calm yet on alert, all of his senses attuned to the task at hand, the moment between the jitters of adrenaline and oxygen deprivation. In that moment, he utters a scrap of doggerel, before taking the shot at the grenade falling towards Damien's Ghost.*

Blessed be the Lord my strength, who teaches my hands to war, my fingers to fight...

*The rifle bucks back with the recoil, but the shot nicks the bottom of the grenade, enough to make it explode before hitting the Ghost, but just a meter before it was in range to hit the rest of his team. Not pausing after confirming the hit, Setsuna ignores the other grenades aiming at Clark's Ghost and jumps into the air, rising and stopping jerkily at 10 meters in the air, unaccustomed to the weight of all the weapons and gear he was carrying. Hefting his sniper rifle barrel up in his right hand, he brings a frag grenade up to chest left in his left hand (which he had yanked out of his left boot in the jump), and primes it for detonation, all while continuing the verse in his thoughts that he started with the rifle shot.*

~...If the Lord is with me, who may stand against me?~

Eat this.

*Setsuna, emotion-devoid, tosses the frag grenade behind the barricade, aiming to have it explode, injuring or killing the two elites who would be standing right next to where it would hit the ground. After it left his hand, he brought the left hand up, now not holding a grenade, and brings it up to the bottom of the rifle barrel grip to steady it, while taking a second sniper shot at a third elite, one standing right next to the group leader, though Setsuna did not know his identity.*

And if you're wondering, those verses were from Saving Private Ryan, and then continued by me.

Damien looked up in time to see a bunch of grenades being lobbed from all directions towards his party. Shaking off his soreness from the fall he turned around and ran over the Setsuna and away from Clark's Ghost as it exploded from the impact of the grenades. Throwing himself to the ground in a prone position he did a 180 degree turn and faced the enemy bunker. Still lying prone Damien lifted himself up onto one knee and grabbing the assault rifle on his chest put his left hand on the trigger and handle and used his right hand to aim. Steadying himself he looked down the sights and searched for an enemy around the bunker but seeing none he let the weapon fall back onto his chest and lay prone once more. Looking over to Setsuna he said "We have to get closer and break their defense the bullets in our assualt rifles can't penetrate the barricade."

[Aminda]

*Aminda seeing his team slowly move forward, quickly shunpoed to where Damien and Setsuna were standing.. Still holding onto his assult rifle, his right hand taking charge of the trigger while he used his left hand to aim. He dropped his right knee to the ground and holding his assault rifle at chest height.*

"So what's the plan guy's?"

*Aminda asked Setsuna and Damien, but did not turn in there direction while speaking, keeping himself fully on alert for attacking and defending*

Uh... guys, I'm in midair. Just so you know

*After firing his shot at the elites and through the grenade behind their barricade, Setsuna was joined by Damien and Aminda. Even though they were his comrades, Setsuna looked over at the other two with uninterested eyes, eyes that merely acknowledged what he was being told with horribly efficiency.*

~Ironic, seated officers coming to me when I'm in the open...~

The plan? Quite simple.

Cast the enemy into hell by any means necessary.

oops fail lol

Damien looked downwards towards the enemy bunker and smiled at Setsuna's words before disappearing into a flash step. Reappearing about 13 meters above the enemy barricade he once again held up his assualt rifle and ,although a bit jerkily from the uncomfortable weight, began too seend five round bursts at the various aliens.

lol whoops, it was hard to configure what Setsune did D:. My bad.

*Aminda following his comrades jumped up to both legs and used the power of his lower legs to jump up to a height of 12 feet in the air. Then he released 4 rounds from his assault rifle down at the enemies. The recoil from the gun was minimalised as he held it infront of his chest/stomach area.*
