She would fire off a few short and accurate bursts at either the Chieftain or the other Brutes who fell back with him, knowing that they were the primary threats. It seemed as if the two forces were at a stand off, and one of them would have to make a move before any ground could be made. Aviza realized this and was preparing to use her SRS99-S5 AM Sniper Rifle to weaken the Brute Chieftain, though before she could pull the trigger, he let out a roar that echoed though the chamber. Suddenly, Brute stalkers opened fire upon Tar and Yalu with Spikers, while two incendiary grenades were tossed to the rear, attempting to cut off their retreat. Spartan Aviza started to give out orders, [color=00aeef]"Rex, head to the right side of the room and see if you can climb up the support beam to deal with those Brute Stalkers. I am going to climb the left support beam and deal with the Stalkers here. The rest of you pressure those advancing hostiles, we will handle them shortly."[/color] Aviza would then quickly engage her active camouflage, vanishing from sight. Using the few areas upon the support beam that she could grip, Aviza pulled herself up and onto the overhead walkway directly above the team’s position. For the moment, the Brute Stalkers were focused upon Tar and Yalu and had not noticed her arrival. Using this to her advantage, and knowing that her Shotgun would give her away immediately, Aviza reached down and gripped onto her energy sword, the one she had taken from the Mammoths armory. It would power on, showing only a faint crimson outline of the weapons shaped super heated plasma upon her helmets HUD. This HUD highlighted the first Brute Stalker, showing her where the armor was supposedly the weakest, or where there was no armor protecting the massive ape like creature. Charging forward, Aviza closed the gap between the first Brute Stalker and immediately made a swift stabbing motion at the first Brute Stalkers left underarm. The energy sword easily traveled through the Brutes flesh and appeared out of his upper left shoulder before Aviza pulled the weapon back, almost severing the limb from the Brute Stalkers torso. The first Brute Stalker howled in anger and pain before using his right arm to swing blindly through the air in frantic motions, attempting to hit whatever had just attacked him. Aviza quickly dropped to the ground and slid under the swinging arm of the first Brute Stalker just as her active camouflage deactivated. Now, she was in-between two very angry Brute Stalkers that wanted nothing more than to end her life, violently. The Brute Stalker on the other end of the platform quickly turned as he saw his fellow Brute start to flail his right arm around in an attempt to hit something, though as soon as he saw Aviza he turned his spiker upon her and fired. Bringing up the energy sword once more, Aviza cut clean through the wrist of the Brute Stalker who held the Spiker in her direction. While some of the spikes came close to hitting more delicate areas, her armors shields fully protected her. The Brutes Spiker fell to the ground, his right hand still gripping onto the weapon as it fired blindly. The Brute who was now missing his right hand let out a roar and attempted to grab Aviza by the neck, though the Spartan quickly rolled to the right and used her free hand to grip onto the spiker that he had dropped. With one swift movement, she picked up the weapon and turned it upon him. A few of the spikes from the weapon made their mark before running out of ammo. She tossed the weapon at the Brutes head. It made contact, disorienting him for a moment, giving Aviza enough time to turn and focus upon the Brute Stalker behind her with the crippled left arm. Throwing herself to the right, she barely managed to miss an attack from him as he seemed to go berserk, as Brutes tended to do when in some situations. Using the Energy Blade once more, she swung downwards and cut the Brutes left arm clean off from his body, though the Brute apparently did not notice or was so fueled by adrenalin that he merely fought through the pain. Aviza felt the Brute from behind her kick her in the back, though he recoiled from kicking her armor and stumbled. The force was still enough to send Aviza flying into the Brute that was missing his left arm. Bringing up her left knee, she used the force of the other Brute kicking her to knock the other Brute Stalker onto the ground. With Crimson energy sword still in hand, she brought it through the Brute Stalkers neck, and pulled roughly to the left to ensure the Brute Stalker was now dead. The remaining Brute Stalker on the right of her now charged at Aviza as she was standing up and turning around to face him. Instead of moving out of the way, Aviza used her energy sword to stab the Brute Stalker through his chest. She took the hit but still managed to impale the Brute. Both of them stumbled back a bit before Aviza quickly charged forward and knocked the Brute over the walkway and down to the ground below. Catching herself before she fell, she watched as the Brute plummeted down to the ground below and landed directly onto the incendiary grenades that they had tossed a short moment ago. The Brute Stalker failed around in the flames before dying, and at the same time putting out some of the flames. [color=00aeef]"Left upper walkway is clear, use the dead Brute as a way to fall back if needed."[/color] said Spartan Aviza as she moved forward upon the walkway and prepped two of her own incendiary grenades. They were quickly but carefully tossed with force upon the Brute Chieftain, who Aviza now saw as their primary target. [color=00aeef]"Remember, keep that human commander alive, I have questions for him."[/color] added Aviza as she readied herself to fight their greatest challenge yet.
