As everyone threw their bodies against the ramp the Pelican (which has its front covered in sand) the Pelican's back end fell down, lifting the front end from the sand and breaking the cockpits windsheild at the same time. But something un-expected started to happen....they started sliding down what seemed to be a hill.
"Crap, everyone get out of he-" Elidor was cut off as the water filled the Pelican and they started to sink deeper and deeper.

Trenal, wide eyed, looked for a way out. Remembering Minous' idea, he swam up to the cockpit and smashed the windsheild with his BR. Bits of broken glass were floating everywhere. Trenal dashed up and out of the Pelican, coming up to the surface, and gasped for air.

They saw something metallic setting down. IT was Red Star. As he landed 12 special operation soldiers established a defensive perimeter. "Thought you could use some help there," says Red Star. "Came as quick as I could. Sorry about the pelican. Do you want to head back to base or finish the Op?

[Admin: Sorry but two things 1. Your a special operations pelican, usually warthogs don't get hooked up and they carry 12 people tops and has 12 drop pods. Now, if you want to be a support Pelican (the basic marine version) i'll switch you over. You should probally read some of the Pelican types in the referance area to get an idea on their capibilities. 2. Spec ops dosn't have guns i don't think]

Ignoring the burning in his lungs Hikwsi swam in the direction that he hoped was the surface. The armour and his SMG was weighing him down and it took all his strength to keep from sinking into the abyss. Finally he reached the surface and took large lungfulls of air. Quickly gaining his bearings he saw a pelican land on a beach nearby and between him and it was his squad leader. He quickly used his newfound strength to swim to the beach. Still dripping wet he shouldered his SMG and turned to the Sergeant and snapped a quick salute, "Private Ngyam reporting in sir, I was just assigned to your squad right before this op."

Once Hikwsi swam out, Minous fell in tow, with Retnuh right behind him. He swam directly up, pushing himself to his limits. As they hit the top, they coughed up water and breathed in.

Elidor started swiming up after everyone had gotten up but his armor was just so heavy...figures I can breathe in space but not under water, sucks. He didn't have enough time to take off his armor so he did his best to keep on swimming up but it was no use, he wouldn't make it...

Minous looked around. "Where's the Sarge?!" With Elidor nowhere in sight, Minous swam back down to the sunken Pelican. He saw Elidor trying to swim, but with his armor the act was futile. Minous then swam over to give Elidor a hand.

(I'm a Major but whatever lol!)
Elidor grabbed Minous' hand and tried to double his effort and kicked his legs as hard as he could.

Minous and Elidor kicked up to the surface. As they hit fresh air, Minous breathed in heaven, and swam Elidor on to(either shore, or the pelican, whicher we're getting on).

Elidor followed Minous and as he reached the shore fell to the sand for a few seconds to regain his breath and then got up and headed toward Red Star.
"Nice to have you Private, were gonna continue on with the mission but since we can't all fit in the Pelican were gonna have to hoof it. You should probally head back to base and help reinforce..." and then Elidor saw a Banshee coming in from the sky, possibly the same one that had shot Elidor's Pelican down, "Red Star get out!"

Red Star looked up and stared straight into the jaws of death. The banshee let loose a plama strafe. Luckily, Red Star flew away, but the Pelican was damaged.
"This is Red Star. I am going down. Repeat going down!" The Pelican flew smoking toward the beach and slammed with a sickening crunch into the sand. Red Star saw stars, then everything faded to black.

Red Star had crashed only 150 yards away and it wouldn't have been much of a problem....until 3 Covenant Dropships came and dropped off about 45 troops.
"Dig in men this is gonna get messy!" Elidor yelled diving behing a rock. He aimed at the enemy charging on their position and fired a burst through his Battle Rifle.

Minous takes cover behind a rock and pulls a frag. "Here's your mess, sir!" Minous lobs the grenade into the crowd. As it lands, 5 advancing jackels just "happen" to run right over it. The resulting explosion sends a plasma pistol whizzing over Elidor's head.

After what seemed like hours, Red Star woke up to the sound of gunfire. Red Star sat up slowly, then was knocked back down as a plasma grenade exploded right outside the Pelican. He sat down and was hunched into a ball. He suddenly felt very afraid. He didn't have a weapon. He suddenly had a thought. There was a weapon storage in the Pelican. He crawled over to the closet and grabbed an smg. That was when he saw it.
Three phantoms flew in and started unloading troops. Red Star thought about running for it, but realized he would never make it. "Screw it." he thought to himself."You only live once." He burst from the Pelican, fired his smg like hell, and ran back to where the Special Ops forces were. As he got there, he jumped into a foxhole. He looked up and saw Elidor standing next to him. A wave of relief washed over him. He grinned. Red Star saluted and said " Give'em hell Major."
