LORC Act II pt.9

Note: This chapter is no longer fully correct to the story line, but relax, an update is on the way   

Ryau opened fire with his carbine and Naki with her plasma rifle. The combined fire dropped the first two Brutes before the ones in the back could return fire. The two kills did not slow the Brutes advance however. Ryau remained crouched and backed away from the first barricade back to the second, where a squad of marines were positioned.

"The sarge told us to back you two up," one of the marines said.

Before Ryau could respond, the first Brute made it through the door. A Chieftain with a Gravity-Hammer smashed the fist blockade sending a traffic cone flying through the air. The cone struck one of the trucks mirrors and snapped it off.

"Damn, those cones are deadly." One of the marines remarked.

Ryau and the marines continued to fire at the Brutes taking as many as they possibly could down before they reached the third blockade. The Chieftain slammed the hammer into the marine next to Naki sending him flying into the side of a container.

"Heretic!" the Chieftain roared as he raised his hammer above Naki's head.

But before he could finish the swing a Warthogs chain gun unleashed a stream of bullets in to the brutes, already drained, shields cutting him up. A group of Grunts wandered into the battle. Naki grabbed the Grav-hammer and ran right at them. She slammed it down and the force field propelled the bodies of the Grunts in all directions. A few seconds later there was a pause in fighting, there were no more hostiles. The Sergeant honked the horn of the semi and yelled,

"We're movin' out, everybody saddle up. You two," He said to Ryau and Naki "Get on the back."

"Commander Keyes, We're with the convoy and we are moving out on to the highway." Ryau said into the radio.

The two semi trucks pulled out of the motor pool and in to a long dark tunnel followed by four mobile medical units and three warthogs, two LAAG's and a troop transport. The tunnel slopped down and exited on to a dirt road. As soon as they left a group of banshees flew down and began strafing the convoy. The trucks engines roared as they picked up speed. Ryau grabbed hold of one of the weapon cases to steady himself, when he notice that it held Spartan lasers.

"Naki" Ryau said tossing her a laser, "catch."

Still balancing himself on the weapon crate, he lifted the spartan laser and fired with one hand. The laser cut through the left engine and the Banshee spiraled in to the the cliff wall. Naki's laser flashed and destroyed another Banshee. One of the Banshee's made it through the AA fire and launched a banshee bomb. The bomb flew through the air and struck a lone support on the road ahead. The bridge began to collapse underneath its own weight. The Driver of the first Semi swerved and jackknifed the trailer, but it was two late. The Semi fell over the edge and rolled down the steep slope, throwing Ryau and Naki off like rag dolls. As they slowly came to a stop at the bottom Ryau could barley stay awake long enough to see the rest of the bridge start to collapse sending the remaining vehicles down. There was a loud crash and every thing went dark.
