The fire finally died down once the final trooper got behind cover. Before their squad leader could even give a command however, they already saw the image of a frag grenade flying from behind the cover and landing right near the squad's feet. "GRENADE!" shouted the stern voiced female squad leader (SSGT Brooke Powell), before Chief and the ODSTs all scrambled to get behind their own cover. Some jumped behind their drop pods, some got behind the doorway unit, and Chief and SSGT Powell both got back behind the air conditioning unit The explosion from the grenade went off shortly after with a loud 'BOOM'. The explosion ripped pieces of cement from the ground and kicked up dust in the air, temporarily filling the battlefield with a disorienting haze. Luckily none of the ODSTs managed to take any kind of noticeable damage from the blast, but their act of taking cover ended up spreading them out which would make it a lot harder to function as a unit "Everyone alright?" SSGT Powell asked to her squad "Fine" said the smooth voiced ODST (LCPL Ethan Price) "No problems here!" replied another masculine voiced ODST (PFC Noah Scott) "I took a bit of a fall but I'm alright!" shouted the gravely voiced ODST (CPL Braxton Rivera) As the situation played out, Chief turned his head towards the edge of the roof, which was very close to the air conditioner he was leaning against, and looked down at the city street and the mysterious black armored figure. Chief was more than 100% sure at this point that person, whoever they were, was the one in command of those white troops. Should he take the stairway down? No, not an option. Even if he could make it past the troops, the stairway would take forever. He thought about it for a second, and formulated a plan. He turned to SSGT Powell "Sergeant, do you have things under control here?" Chief asked the squad leader "Affirmative, sir. These guys are cornered, we can just circle around and flank them" SSGT Powell responded confidently 'Their leader is down there on the ground floor. I need to get down there and there's only one way to do it" Chief continued, gesturing with his head to the edge of the rooftop SSGT Powell looked over at the rooftop edge, and after a second she quickly put the pieces together and understood what Chief was implying. If she was being honest she thought it sounded crazy, but she'd served under SPARTANs before, and she knew that crazy was just what they did "Understood, sir. We'll hold down the fort here" she said back Chief nodded as he stepped towards the small wall around the edge of the rooftop and looked down. 50 flights of stairs. Had to be at least 600 feet. Chief gripped the handle of his battle rifle in anticipation and grabbed the wall with his other hand. Then, with a quick mantle over the wall, he was off the rooftop "Godspeed, you magnificent bastard" SGT Powell said as she watched the man in green leap off _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/200127/7f83d3d4f0a61dfcf6c9c3221de0fb8c.png[/img][/center]_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [center][b]Location: City Ruins[/b][/center] [@Lmpkio] Dante watched as the shotgun sailed through the air towards him. He held his hand up to catch it, and it landed straight into his palm. He looked at it and gave a devious grin. Alright, not it was really time to have some fun. The imp attempted to make another swipe at Dante with both its arms, but Dante made a spin on the balls of his feet to dodge the attack, and finished the spin with a shotgun blast to the imp's head As the imp's lifeless body fell lifeless to the ground and Dante shifted his focus to the rest of the imps coming after him, he kept his eyes held on the lifeless corpse of the imp, formulating an idea in his head. He quickly stepped onto the imp's body, crouched down in the opposite direction of the other imps, and aimed the shotgun with his right hand at seemingly nothing. He fired, and the force of the shotgun blast suddenly started sending the corpse sliding across the floor, and Dante along with it. As the corpse started sliding closer to the imps, Dante pushed on the ground with his foot, giving the corpse a spin to it. As corpse finally slid up to the imps, Dante made a horizontal slash with his sword. The corpse was spinning fast enough and at just the right angle for his sword to cleanly slice through the torsos of both demons in one smooth motion. As the imps fell to the floor dead, Dante used his foot to stop the corpse he was riding on from moving, and stood back upright and looked back to admire his handiwork. "Looks like the party's over..." Dante said to himself with a shrug before rising the shotgun to his face to blow the smoke coming from the barrels
