Mik tries to drive the hog back after seeing the marine he displaced die, sadly a couple of the jackals know what he is doing and fire charged plasma bolts at him. He tries to swerve away from the bolts as they appear to move relativelyslowlyin the air however he does not have room to manover in the garage and the first bolt hits the warthog in the side. Mik braces for impact but instead of an explosion he sees the green lightning forking out from the scortch impact mark and the vehicle instantly dies with all electronics buzzing. He skids to an instant halt still in the open as more enemies target him.
Jackson then acts like a marine medic paragon and charges forward into the most dangerous area in order to help his comrade, as he runs he sees the enemy begin their charge. The elites step out are roar what must be orders to the other aliens, several of whom instantly surge out of cover and toward the garage. Jackson's experience tells him that the elites must be using leadership abilities for them to react to fast. He also notes that since they just surged, he is in the open and several jackals are using long range weaponry.
Jackson instantly weaves and dodges, avoiding a sniper round that came close enough for him to feel the heat off the coloured light before also dodging fire from the strange rifle type weapon. He does however get clipped on the shoulder by a plasma bolt, luckily his armour took most of the damage and his vitality loss is minimal. (Ooc: dodged the sniper round that would have messed you up bad, then dodged the carbine that also would have messed you up, got hit by the lowest rolling weakest weapon... Lucky lucky medic lol)
Derek tries to support Jackson with his fire but is unable to move before the surging aliens, this does however give him time to line up some shots. He momentarily ignores his set up sniper to fire off a burst from his plasma repeater and watches most of the shots landing into the middle elites shields, making them flash and light up like a christmass tree. The shield holds however it clearly looks weakened when he drops the repeater and scopes in on his sniper, sadly he knows the shot will miss as he pulls the trigger, he can see the Elite moving back into cover at the last second so he relies on luck, tracks ahead of the elites helmet and fires. And the luck saves him as the elites head and the bullets path cross beautifully, the shield shattering under the extream force of the sniper round which passes right through it and the elites head without pausing at all. The elite instantly crumples, clearly very dead.
Nina finishes un jamming her gun and quickly blasts off a sweeping spray of bullets catching one grunt cleanly killing it, one dives under the fire while a second dives clear but drops its gun in the process. Steve then also fires his turret also in a sweeping arc, sadly finding his bullets ricochetting of two jackals shields, he does note however that they are knocked back a little by the bullets and the shields changed colour a little while under the heavy fire.
Rouge then sees what is important, they need to rally their comrades in glorious fashion as their ancestors did before them. They also have just squired two grenades... Rouge stands up in the open and cries "For the Cadets. For humanity and for attacking us on meatloaf night!" They activate a grenade in each hand and fling the at the charging enemies before attempting to duck back into cover. A little slow ducking Rouge is in time to find a green crystal appearing in their chest as the grenades both overshoot their intended targets of the front row of attacking enemies, both travel around 7-8 feet too far. Rouge lands hard behind cover somewhat embarrassed that they not on,y missed their grenade throws but just took a pretty bad wound too.
The marines then fire as the rest of the aliens break cover and start shooting. The marines drop two grunts but it appears that Thea.iens tend to target vehicles and big guns first as Nina takes a plasma hit on her armour this time and one skims past Steve, the turrets shielding plate deflecting the shot away from him Nina is luckily not badly I jured but she knows she has some serious burns to deal with later, she has to make sure they scar properly to show off afterall.
Rouge is about to be depressed when one marine lets out a huge whoop as the grenades go off and they all hear the screams as two grunts and a Jackal are blown to purple mist and body parts rain across their allies, Rouge realizes that his throws overshot the surged front runners but that means they landed solidly in the area that the second wave of Un-surged aliens were. Two Jackals jumped clear in time but 3 kills is pretty good afterall.
Derek scopes the enemy and shouts out their positions.
"Two elites left, they are bringing up the rear with about 8 grunts and two jackals with long ranged weapons, looks like 4 shield jackals are in front with 6 more grunts charging with them. Front wave 15 feet away, rear group 25 feet away!"
