His shields were dropping fast, he had to move quickly. He finally dove behind the air conditioning unit after 3 seconds and hunkered down behind it, reloading his battle rifle and watching his shield indicator on his HUD As he waited for the shield indicator to fill back up, he noticed something: their weapons were using energy. Chief was somewhat familiar with energy based weapons for human troops, but most of them were high powered heavy artillery. He had never seen or even heard of any standard issue human rifles that used energy based ammunition before, especially like the ones these troops were using. And were they laser or plasma? Chief couldn't tell because they flew through the air and didn't appear instantaneously, much like plasma rounds, but at the same time they sure did have the appearance of laser based ammunition. Chief had no idea how to assess these troops Chief felt like maybe the odds were maybe a little less in his favor than he thought. He looked down at the token in his left hand and thought, maybe it was time to make the odds a little more even. He clutched the tokens in his left hand as he raised them up. "A squad of ODSTs in drop pods" Chief said fairly loudly, but not loud enough to hear over the blaster fire. Chief felt the tokens in his hands slowly deteriorate into shapeless smoke before fading away entirely A couple seconds passed and nothing seemed to happen. Chief was wondering maybe the tokens were just fake and didn't actually do anything, but then he soon caught something out of the corner of his eye (as well as the troopers if they were paying attention). In the sky, there were 5 mysterious silhouettes flying down in the direction of the building at an alarmingly fast speed. As they flew closer more detailing could be seen, appearing to be some kind of metallic pods. Closer and closer the flew before all of them finally impacting on the roof of the building with a series of loud 'CRASHES' and debris flying everywhere. As the dust settled, the troopers would be able to see them in clear detail.

They appeared to have some kind of hatches on them, indicating the pods were holding something inside[/url]
