Luckily for Alex, one of the two Scarabs branched off, heading in a different direction. Granted, it would suck for anyone it was going to encounter, but for now, the immediate situation was on Pyro's mind the most. He shouted to the surviving Marines, "Come on, come on! Blow their asses to Earth!" The Marine survivors attempted to make a synchronized volley, but it was more of a strink of rockets launched and two lasers fired, as well as an ass load of grenades and machine gun fire. It put a rather large crimp in the Covenant attack, but not large enough to crush them. Alex shouted as the Covies attacked again, "Cover! Now!"
The assault severey decreased UNSC reinforcements, to only one squad of Marines and one Ultra Marine. Pyro ran up to the second one's body, putting his rocket launcher on his back, and hefting up the fallen Marine's SPARTAN Laser. In one burst of laserfire, a Wraith was destroyed and two Ghosts blown apart. But the Covenant juggernaut could not be stopped now. Alex grunted on the comm, "Stave 'em off. I'll be right back."
He ran into the facility, and right after he descended the stairs, a bath of plasma fire obliterated the Pelican on the roof and the Ultra Marine wielding a SPARTAN Laser.
Alex dashed towards the core of the facility as the few remainging Marines attemtted to divert the Covenant's forces. The young man got to the reactor, and pulled out his Satchel Bomb. This would be sufficient. The ODST tapped his comm, saying to the Marines, "Get out. Now! This place is gonna blow!"
And with that, he popped the cap of the powerful explosive, pitching it into the bright blue energy pillar of the Reactor. The downward-traveling energy only showed a bright, momentary blip as it rocketed down. Then, Alex ran. With everything he had. The ODST dashed towards the garages, and when he got there, he saw the few remaining Marines- only six in total, out of an original of almost forty- and hopped into the Gauss Warthog they were all in, in shotgun, naturally. The vehicle sped from the Garage as Jackals, Unggoy, and Brutes charged into the building, and their Wraiths tried to bombard it at close range. Big mistake.
The Warthog raced out, zipping away at much too high a speed to be processed by the Covenant before the explosion. A bright blue explosion, a thunderous detonation, and a huge crater. The ONI Facility was no more, just like the Covenant Forces that had attempted sieze it. The light and shockwave blasted outward, rippling through the countryside. The Warthog only barely outran it. After the end of the violent death of the ONI Facility, the few survivors stopped the Warthog and just looked down on the destruction. One thing stood out in specific, though.... The scarab that was marching towards them from the massive crater. Alex could think of only one appropriate word for this moment....
"Shit."
