Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn/Transcripts/Part 5: Difference between revisions

''Open to the [[holotank]] inside the {{UNSCship|Forward Unto Dawn}}. A blue holographic sphere rests on it. Cut to black.''

''Lasky presses down on the pedal. The Warthog's speed meter increases. Lasky continues to drive the Warthog down the path. Suddenly, a [[plasma grenade]] rolls out from the forest and into the Warthog's path, and detonates. Lasky yells in surprise.''  

''Time slows down as the Warthog drives through the plasma and smoke. Dust and dirt spray its occupants.  Everything then speeds back up as the Warthog comes under fire from Kig-Yar on both sides. [[Needler]] rounds hit the Warthog plating. A "Warning" appears on the Warthog's speed meter, and the meter decreases. John fires the Warthog's [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|turret]] and takes down a [[Kig-Yar Minor]].''

''Needler rounds continue to rain down on the Warthog. Lasky leans over toward the passenger's side to avoid getting hit.''

''Silva stands up from her seat, takes aim and fires her assault rifle in two short bursts at a pair of Kig-Yar Minors.  Her aim is true, and both aliens go down in slow motion. Scene then speeds back up as the Warthog continues on and gets out of range of the Covenant attackers.''  

''Silva looks at him and smiles. Suddenly, a Kig-Yar Minor appears directly in front of the Warthog. The vehicle plows right into the alien, sending it flying over the hood, and splattering the windshield with blood. The Jackal's Needler discharges several errant shots, one of which goes directly into the Warthog's interior.  Lasky, caught by surprise, hits the brakes. The Warthog comes to a sudden stop. Silva and Orenski jerk forward. Sullivan groans even louder in pain.''

''Lasky and Orenski succeed in getting Silva out of the vehicle.  They each take her by the shoulders and start carrying her away.''

''John-117 primes the grenade and charges the alien from behind but it turns and hits him with its shield, knocking him to the ground. Lasky looks back as the Hunter turns and aims at him again. John-117 gets to his feet and charges once more as the alien powers up its cannon. Just as it fires the Chief climbs its shield, disrupting its aim. The shot narrowly misses Lasky, sending him flying. John swings over the Hunter's shoulders, landing on its back. Lasky lands in a heap, unconscious. Zoom in on the Chief's visor. He shoves the grenade into the mass of [[Lekgolo]] worms in the creature's back, then flips off and away from it, landing in a crouching position. The Hunter grunts and stands for a second, then explodes.''

''The Chief shields himself from the splatter, then stands as the opening melody of the [[Halo Theme]] plays. He walks over and stomps on a surviving worm. Sullivan and Orenski get to their feet and run to Lasky.  John picks up a piece of the Hunter's shattered armor.''  

*'''Operator (COM)''': "Roger that. Thank God, Chief. Pelican is leaving the surface and their bay is full. All Spartans onboard; three cadets, five Marines. Prepare a medical detail..."  

''The rest of the transmission becomes too faint to hear.  The cadets stare blankly back at the burning landscape that was once [[Corbulo Academy]]. The Covenant ships continue to hold position above the ruins.  Kelly reaches up and removes her helmet. The cadets stare, surprised at how young she is. [[Fred-104]] removes his helmet and receives more stares. Lasky, Kelly and Fred glance over at John who remains immobile, his weapon aimed out the rear hatch.''
