As Spartan Bray nears the landing pad, she hears gunfire whiz by and the sound of glass shattering came from above. The ridiculously fast sprint had her winded, and she jogged onto the pad.

Kurt and James had fired at the dropship. One of the repulsors sputtered, while blood stained the inside of the cockpit as the pilot crouched within. The ship started to sway as one of the engines went offline; one drawback of being an expendable fighting force was that they were supplied with cheap-ass technology.

The dropship temporarily dropped onto the platform, plowing through a small group of civilians, as mercenaries dived off. Bray thrusted aside as the ship slid by where she was moments before, before the entire transport slips off the platform. Before it could collide with the ground, the engine starts up, and it comes to an unsteady hover. Bray looked around and saw the mercenaries fighting the defenders, while the non-combatants scrambled around in fear.

As the Spartan is about to help them, she notices a fast blip closing in on her motion sensor. She immediately turned to see a man in a nano-suit similar to hers, but wearing different armor. He had a sword, and a strange visor that covered only his eyes. The man swung his sword, but Bray ducked and thrusted out of reach. She used her palm launcher and shot an energy projectile his way, but he deflected it with a swipe of his sword. He let out a malicious grin, and spoke in a deep voice.

Tauwei "My prey..."

Bray "I wouldn't bet on it."
