Three Pelicans are flying low above a high way before being ambushed and shot down by a Scarab walker. The second Pelican that is shot down by the Scarab, flies over [[Hotel Zanzibar]] and is spotted by a Sangheili. Private [[O'Brien (Mombasa)|O'Brien]] and the Pelican's [[pilot]]s are killed in the crash, and Sergeant [[Marcus Stacker|Stacker]] tells the remaining 3 ODSTs ([[Butkus]], [[Fones]], and [[Walpole]]) to grab their tags and ammo. | Three Pelicans are flying low above a high way before being ambushed and shot down by a Scarab walker.

The Sangheili sends in two Minor Unggoy and a Kig-Yar Sniper to engage them, and the sniper nearly hits Butkus. Walpole, the squad's sharpshooter, easily takes the Kig-Yar out. The Kig-Yar's body falls from the ledge and lands next to the two Unggoy, scaring them back to their previous location. The first Unggoy gets by the Sangheili, however, it manages to grab the second one by the neck, then throws it aside. It then activates its [[active camouflage]] and leaps down towards the ODSTs. | The Sangheili sends in two Minor Unggoy and a Kig-Yar Sniper to engage them, and the sniper nearly hits Butkus.

The Sangheili takes out its [[Type-1 energy sword|Energy Sword]] and slashes at Butkus, connecting with the ODST's [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] and cleanly severing it. Butkus falls and grabs a [[Type-25 plasma pistol|Plasma Pistol]], originally in the possession of the Unggoy. The Sangheili then throws a [[Type-1 plasma grenade|Plasma Grenade]] at Fones' helmet. The ODST yelps in surprise, takes the helmet off and throws it back at the Sangheili, the detonation draining its shields and deactivating his active camouflage. The Sangheili jumps down and grabs Walpole, using him as a hostage, with the Energy Sword at his throat. Walpole tells the ODSTs to take him out: Butkus fires an overcharged Plasma Pistol at signal of Fones (Stacker in the remastered version) and takes out the Sangheili's partially regenerated shields and Fones (Stacker in the remastered version) finishes it off with his Battle Rifle. The Sangheili falls and drops its Energy Sword. Slowly, its hand unclenches, deactivating the Energy Sword. | The Sangheili takes out its [[Type-1 energy sword|Energy Sword]] and slashes at Butkus, connecting with the ODST's [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] and cleanly severing it.
