Firing at covenant hiding behind broken structures scattered across the battlefield, Magnus, took down a brute charging across the clearing and watched it fall ontop of an unfortunate grunt that was right behind the grunt. Laughing, Magnar threw a grenade across the gap, landing it in under the roof of the position they needed to take, killing a squad of grunts.
Checking the area was clear, he heard the signal from the other marines and crossed the gap swiftly, shotgun out and ready. Running into the base, Magnus hit a grunt out of the way, shooting a brute in the back with his shotgun and dived to the side as a brute shot fired rapidly in his direction. Stuck behind a crumbling wall, he picked up a grunts sticky grenade and threw it at the brute, but missed. Backing away as the brute ran at him it suddenly launched forwards, landing at his feet dead.
"Good to see your still alive and kicking there Magnus." Harb said, grinning at Magnus. Kicking aside grunt bodies that were crowded at the door, he reloaded his shotgun and said, "Lets get going, I hear the new rookie needs some help on the west end of this structure"

Samson had been pinned down by the covenant which were coming from left, right an centre. He reloaded his assault rifle and aimed for one of the brutes . He fired but unfortunately only hit the shields. "Where the hell is the back up promised" he thought to himself as a suicide grunt stumbled its way toward him. He pulled out the magnum and shot once or twice. The grunt dropped the grandes and the rest of the covenant jumped out of the way. BOOM
"Hey Rookie" yelled Magnus as soon as the squad met up with Samson. "'Bout time you got here. i've lost my entire squad and was desperate for back up" said Samson. "Well don't worry son we've got your...". BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM.
(A Scarab leg appears next to the building they were holding up)

"Son of a !" Magnus cursed loudly as he fell over. "What the hell is that thing?" He yelled, confused. Leaning out and looking up the gap, Harb muttered, "What ever it is, it is one big mother!"
Pulling Samson to his feet, Magnus pointed at the exit from the base. "We gotta get out of under its feet! It could crush us with its toe!" He yelled, running out of the base and heading for the cover of a large building at the side of the battlefield, where heavy weaponry was left.

Samson Immediately went for the missile pod. He knew that it was the weapon that had the most chance of doing some damage to that thing. He picked it up and miscalculated its weight ad stumbled slightly but regained his balance. "You've got the idea Rookie" Said Magnus. Samson ran out and aimed for the leg (due to the fact that it was the only thing in range). As soon as he locked on he fired. One after the other the missiles struck the target, each one seeming to be weakening the joint until the glowing pad on the leg started flashing red and what sounded like sirens started going off.
"Good job Rookie" yelled Harb as he tried to compete withe sirens noise. "The next problem is, what now?"

As the leg weakened it seemed to be struggling under the weight of its body, and dropped to the floor. As this happened some of the marines cheered, thinking it was dead. "It aint dead..." Harb said as he watched the flashing lights."If it isnt dead, then how do we kill it? Get on it?" Magnus asked, eager to try and break the massive machine in front of them.

"Hell why not?" said Samson as he spied an opening in the side of the body. Samson ran over to the opening and jumped. Magnus and Harb immediately followed. As they entered they found two brutes manned at turrets. two plasma grenades did the trick as they made thee way around the back.

"Now thats just a little to easy.." Vince stated as he walked around the corner to see a large circular power source staring straight at him.Firing at shot at it, Vince saw it change colour slightly. Picking up a brute shot, he fired rapidly at the thing to see what happened. As the bullets hit the power source, the Scarab shuddered violently and almost knocked Vince off the edge behind him.
"Uh... I don't think thats what is supposed to happen"
