"What have we here" Will said looking through his sniper rifle scope.
"Brutes?" the ODST named Josh asked
"Yeah a pack right next to the entrance"Will whispered as he shuffled to get into a better position.
"Alpha Group sniper rifles at my command ,sync displays" Josh said
"Display synced" was said over the com
"Okay .....Fire"
No noise was made but all the Brutes seemed to stiffen , but they did not fall. Then 10 ODSTs moved out of the undergrowth and entered the ancient forerunner facility walking right past the brutes. The brutes had been hit by poison with a by-product nerve fixing solution so the brutes literally died standing up.
The ODSTs swept the first 4 floors with no sign of anything. The strange Forerunner computer displays lined around the facilitates walls. Josh looked at the strange holographic lift controls as they descended down to the 5th floor on a lift. 'Clunk'
"Ah arrived ,open the doors" Josh said to the ODST technician. The technician moved to the door and attached his hacking device to the door. Rhythmic beeping meant that he had started his hacking procedure.
BEEP.....BEEP........BEEP.....BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
" Oh bugger" the technician said
"What is it" Josh asked
"Bloody forerunner locking is a lot more advanced than the covenants" He answered
"So you can't open it" Josh said
"Nope" the technician said sounded frustrated.
"So we bust it" Josh said over the comm.
2 of the ODSTs moved forward and attached magnetic mines too the door.
"Shields" Josh said
The ODSTs moved behind portable energy shields that the Elites had supplied the UNSC.
"On 1 3...........2..........1 "and the 2 ODSTs pressed buttons on there belts and the doors exploded.
"Lets Move" Josh said
But as soon as the first ODST went through the door he fell back onto the floor smoldering
All the ODST jumped from the doorway as plasma filled the space they had just been in.
The corridor had a line of jackals with interlocking shields that blocked there progress.
"What are we gonna do" One of the ODST asked
The ODST squad had no heavy fire-power as they liked to travel light and fast.
"Leave it to us" A voice said out of nowhere
Seconds later 2 smoke grenades seemed to fly out of nowhere and down the corridor filling it with smoke.
Then the air in the doorway shimmered for 10 seconds and then settled back to normal.
Josh engaged his helmets light-bending shield and looked into the corridor there were 3 odd patches of air moving down the corridors towards the jackal line. They stopped about halfway and for a few seconds nothing happened. Silence ,the only sound Josh could hear was his heart pounding. Then suddenly 3 spanker rockets appeared out of nowhere and hurtled towards the jackals. They blew apart the shield wall.
Shield gauntlets and parts of jackals flew into the air. He noticed the air shimmer in the gap . Then Josh heard some snicking sounds and then the Jackals seemed to crumple. Josh then waved his hand and his ODSTs moved down the corridor.
"Stop" a voice commanded
Josh looked around but couldn't see who had said it. Then out of nowhere 3 enormous figures clad in shining green Armour appeared.
