Hunters: a colony of space worms inside a metal suit. Armed and dangerous with a shield on one arm, that’s made of the same material as there super carriers and a deadly Fuel Rod cannon on the other arm, deadly enough to harm the powerful of super soldiers. The motive of why they joined the covenant is unknown, also form a political stand point no one is sure either, but we do know one thing for sure, that the Hunters are the heavy support of the covenant and there a force to be reckoned with.
“Well great, just look what you did now.”
“Quiet Discord I know this situation could have been avoided, but I think we would have had to have done this anyway, well Spartans it looks like we’re gonna have to do this engage!” Commanded Shining Armour
The fire team burst into action and charged at the hunters. The hunters more than prepared, went into their defensive positions with theirs shields held close to deflect oncoming bullets and the fuel rod cannon armed and ready. The Spartans unleashed a wave of bullets, but it made the hunters look like nothing more than a fire work.
Not even disturbed by the amount of oncoming fire, the Hunters began to fight back by shooting the Spartans with their fuel rod cannons. The first shot was aimed at Dash. Aware of the oncoming attack she dodged it by back flipping. The shot didn’t even graze her.
The Fuel Rod blast left a green mark on the floor hat looked like it had melted the metal floor and was way to hot to touch with bare flesh.
Dash landed back on the floor with ease. The hunters rallied themselves for another attack.
“There’s gotta be a weak spot somewhere on these things keep looking” Shining Armour ordered.
This time Dash and Twilight attacked the Hunters head on, while the rest of the team supported with gun fire.
The fighting only ever stopped when they had to reload. Dash and Twilight continued to dodge the large swipes from the Hunter’s shield when they got close and bombardments from their Fuel Rod Cannons when they were at range. It seemed impossible to win until Twilight had an idea.
The Hunters always seemed to try and face them head on. What was behind them? She needed to know this could be the key to their victory.
“Dash, draw it’s fire I have a plan!”
“Ok!” Dash nodded in agreement.
Dash attempted a risky manoeuvre and ran straight at the first Hunter, the rest of the team were occupying the second Hunter so they had their backs covered.
Dash knowing what to expect, jumped before the hunter could hit her. The Hunter realising this turned around after it had retrieved its hulk of an arm.
Twilight now seeing her chance, she quickly examined the Hunters back, looking for any weak spots. Then she noticed the metal carapace covering the Hunters back didn’t fully protect it. Some of the colony was exposed, this must be it.
Twilight charged at the Hunter, focusing all her energy into one punch. The Hunter unaware of the oncoming Twilight continued to concentrate on Dash. Just before she hit the Hunter, she took a small leap. Using all the downward force and all her energy, her fist of cold steel collided with the slimy fragile network of worm. The internal fluids of several of the worms began to spurt out blood, covering Twilights hand in the orange blood and staining her purple armour.
Twilight could feel the worms every pulse of life slowly fading away, some worms more than others. The worms had tensed up stressed and unsure how to react to this pain. Twilight removed her hand; they now knew how to beat this monstrosity.
The Hunter barley able to stand prepared itself for its last stand Twilight and Dash changed clips in their guns and began to unleash hell on the Hunter for the very last time.
