This is a story of love, of woe and of win as four people attempt to win at halo on their xboxes over the internet.
It was a cold day in Avalanche heavy, and Me, pie, tylea002, Omegapirate and a ocuple of randoms who are nondescript enough never to really appear were about to face off in an epic battle, known as "capture the flag".
It was 1-1, and there were about 10 minutes to go. I was cruising in a chopper, with pie following close behind in his less than nimble tank.
We were about to embark on an epic adventure to stela the enemy flag. Actually, it was rather half-arsed after several minutes of stalemate, but fate favours the bold...
Around the middle, i ran into an enemy tank. A shell missed me by a hairs breadth, and i quckly boosted closer, and started driving around him in circles, faster than his turret could turn. After a few seconds how him tryinig to nail me, pie appeared on the horizon in all his glory, and let rip. The enemy tank was too busy chasing me around, and exploded in a ball of triumphant flame and metal.
I bootsed along towards enemy "teleporter", but straight after i found myself blown away by a rocket. I smashed up against an icicle, and watched in dismay as my assailant jumped into the air and fired a second rocket. But he had rubbish aim, and it miraculously missed me ocmpletely. with my shields recharging, i got out and proceeded to blast him with my batte rifle. He frantically tried to reload, but in vain. A headshot, and i was all over. I picked up non other than a spartan laser from his remains.
While all this was happening, tylea002, Theomegapirate and the 2 randoms (Mister Neli and his guest) were making their way through keyhole (the quickest way to their base on foot), to attack the flank foe far greater than them in strength, epxerience, and above all, skillz. Wraith mortars crashed around them, as the PHUTPHUTPHUT of battle rifles, and the explosions of grenades reosunded acorss the plain. Mr neli and his guest abandoned hope, and fled back to our base to camp in safety.
Tylea002 and omega fought on grimly, holding the pass. Tragically, tylea was engulfed in an epxloding plasma grenade, and faced the agony of the respawn screen. But then, Me and pie kicked into action. I picked off an enemy rushing to defend their flank with mah spartan laser, and omegapirate advanced under a hail of wraith mortars. then pie saved his butt, and blew up the wraith at long last. But it was not yet over for poor omega.
2 enemies rushed out form the base. I couldn't get to them, pie couldn't get to them and the hapless omegapirate was headhostted repeatedly until his life ended. I went through the teleporter to their base, while pie advanced. Killing everything in his way.
When i entered the base, i was greeted warmly by the backs of a nub. I WAS A FIRIN MAH LASAR, and i took him by surprise, sending him deep into the realm of respawn land
Meanwhile tylea and omegapirate had bundled into a warthog, and were making their way towards us. Unfortunately all did not go as planned, and they were tripmined, stuck and fragged into oblivion. I on the other hand, had been making progress, and had grabbed the flag, jumping into the mancannon and bringing me under the shadow of pie, still in his tank.
Enemies had surrounded us, so i dropped the flag, and hug extra close to pie, who was busy eliminating targets round the flank. I threw a power drain, and in a shower of grenades, started firing desperately at the enemies that had now clustered round the flag. Suddenly, once again i was saved by pie, who took both of them out with a single shot.
Unfortunately, in his bid to secure the flag, he let one spartan get under his nose form behind, and hijack him. Improvising, knowing pie had only seconds to live, i charged mah lazor... It was close, but the pink beam scraped the bastard clean off pie's back, missing pie himself by mere milimeters. I grabbed the flag and jumped onto pie's tank. And we made our way home. It wasn't over yet though...
While me and pie were doing something worthwhile, omegapirate and tylea had decided to try their luck in a wraith, and were makinng their way towards here. Unfortunately for us, by time they had got there, i was dead. Enemies at their teleporter had been desperately trying to slow us down, and i was riddled with bullets. Not to matter though... While those 3 engaged in heavy fighting, i had respawned and was bringing a hornet for flag pickup. HAving caught up with them, i offered tylea002 a lift, and we made our glorious way home.
FLAG CAPTURED!
Halo is very awesome, kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
