Owen-B096: Difference between revisions

After they detonated the explosives a squad of [[Unggoy]] came spilling onto the stand.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HBB23|BatB|Chapter=23}} Owen shouted for Dorian and Victor to split up while he took them on. Before long Dorian rejoined him and they both veered away from the dunes and toward the beach proper while a firefight ensued. Owen made efficient use of the [[ARC-920 railgun]] during this time in addition to his rifle. When Victor finally rejoined he and the other boy he commended him for his performance in battle so far. When a [[Kig-Yar]] suddenly then darted out from behind a dune Owen stepped to the side and tracked it before blasting the alien with the railgun. Another wave of Covenant attackers arrived at that point, leading Owen to calmly stroll forward to meet them while firing. A [[Type-26 Banshee]] exploded when hit by one of the railgun's [[M645 FTP-HE|M645 ferric tungsten projectile]]s, but then with no warning Owen was hit square in the side by the detonation of a [[Type-1 plasma grenade]]. He was sent flying backward by the blast and immediately began bleeding from where his armor had been compromised. Victor raced over to him and depolarized his visor to find the Spartan's eyes blearly, blinking, and unfocused. In pain and unable to be moved by he or Dorian, Owen told them to leave him and run back to the ship. Both refused, which made Owen smile and say he'd trained them too well. When a squad of [[Sangheili]] was revealed to be making its way toward their position, however, he again yelled for them to run, screaming that he was ordering that they leave him. The three were only saved by the sudden arrival of Evie, who came barreling toward them in Victor's car while firing Saskia's [[M363 sticky detonator]] at the Elites. Dorian and Victor were still incapable of getting the Spartan into the vehicle on their own, so with a howl of pain Owen put himself in motion and collapsed into the back seat. Then they were off, plasma fire following thinly in their wake.{{Ref/Reuse|HBB23}}
