Synopsis
The second Pelican flies over Hotel Zanzibar and is seen by an special operations Elite. He walks within sight of the Pelican and sees the survivors walking around. He sends in two Grunts to engage them and a Jackal sniper up into the buildings to snipe from there. As a one of the ODST(Butkis) turn around a corner of a rock, the jackal sniper tried to shoot him, but missed. Then, Butkis told Jones the location of the sniper. Jones then killed it without hesitation. The jackal's corspe drops down from the building and landed right next to the Grunts, scaring them. They ran towards the Spec-ops Elite. The first grunt run past him, but the Elite picked up the 2nd Grunt by the throat and thrown to the ground. Annoyed with having a dead sniper and scared Grunts, the Elite wields his Energy Swordand engages his Active Camouflage. The Elite slashes Butkis out of a sudden. He falls and picks up a Plasma Pistol. He begins charging it. The elite, then sticked a plasma grenade onto Stacker's helmet. He removes it and throws it in the air. It explodes next to the unsuspecting Elite, causing his active camouflage to fail. The Elite then jumps at Jones and used him as hostage, with the sword over the throat. Jones,in deep pain, then said,"take him,guys." Then, Butkis fired his overcharge shot on the elite's head. It hit, and took out his shelds. Stacker then finishes the elite by giving him a burst of headshots with his battle rifle. Then Crotana, askes them are they alright and calls them to stay put as the Master chief will reach them soon.
