Chief felt his stomach turn upside down as he fell down the skyscraper, falling completely free. He was familiar with the feeling of being dropped from large heights completely unsupported, but if he was being honest it wasn't really something you ever get used to

He figured he would try to put his body against the building to stop himself from freefalling and slow himself down as much as he was able to. He leaned back and felt a grinding sensation against the back of his armor as he successfully pressed himself against the wall, and then leveled his feet against the wall as well for even further stability and control over the direction he fell in

As he did all this, he kept an eye on the mysterious cloaked figure. He could see them reaching for something Chief couldn't identify. Chief had to assume it was a weapon. He quickly grabbed his M6 magnum from the holster on his armor and held it at the ready

A couple stories before Chief reached the ground, he pushed against the wall with his feet using as much strength as he could manage. He managed to converting a fair bit of his inertia away from his fall and suddenly flew away from the wall that was holding him steady. He then went into a tuck and roll position, looking almost like a diver jumping into a pool as he finally hit the ground, and rolled to convert more inertia. As he landed the roll on his feet, he managed to slide almost 20 feet away from his landing spot

Chief stood upright and turned around to face the cloaked figure, finally getting a good look at him. His helmet was shaped like a skull, and his armor's chestpiece had some sort of strange grid of lights or something on it? Chief wasn't really sure if he should attack just yet, he wasn't familiar with this person and most of the details on them were unhelpful, he couldn't really identify anything that could help Chief understand who or what this person was. Chief simply chose to stand there with his magnum up at the ready, waiting to see if they would strike first. If they didn't, he would

As the Chief made his way off the building, the battle on the rooftop continued on, and the ODSTs had all rallied behind the air conditioning unit to figure out their next plan of attack

"Alright team, the Chief has left the building, we're on our own for now" SSGT Powell said to her team

"Wow, he brings us here then immediately leaves us on our own against these guys? Real hero, that Master Chief. What a legend" snarked LCPL Price as he rolled his eyes

"Hey, I thought I told you to shut the hell up, corporal" barked Powell back at Price's snide comment

"C'mon man, there's no way he just left us, I'm sure he had a good reason" CPL Rivera added. Price sighed and shrugged in response to both of their comments, not saying anything back

"Listen up Echo, these troops are obviously scared. Let's go around and hit em from the side where they won't be expecting us. We'll stack up single file, and go from cover to cover. Rivera, you take point and we'll follow you" Powell ordered her team

"Got it. Let's do this" Rivera said as he and the rest of the team held their SMGs at the ready, lined up all in a row and started moving out of cover. They went from the air conditioning unit to the first pod to the second pod and so on, beginning their circle around to where the other troopers originally were
