Still within the second building, Spartan-333 was still formulating a plan in his mind. When Hope warned him of the hunters approaching Siegfried looked back towards the sound, grinding his teeth together. Hunters an open area was one thing, but Hunters in close quarters was an entirely different story. He had to get the two Spartans, and the tied up rebels, out of there quickly.
"Hope, help me untie the prisoners!" Siegfried ordered, motioning the younger Spartan to help him. Once the two were done, the rebel in charge gave his thanks.
"Oh man, if you hadn't come along when you did-"
"It doesn't matter what would have happened. It's not going to happen now, so let's move," Siegfried replied, searching through the medium sized box. Inside he found confiscated human weaponry, most of it typical outdated rebel weaponry. At this moment in time however, that was irrelevant. The Spartan loaded each rifle, grabbed some clips and threw them to his new comrades one at a time.
"Lock and load soldiers. Fight your way through this, and instead of being the UNSC's prisoners of war... the Legion may consider taking you in," Siegfried offered, grabbing the strange alien rifle Hope had not wanted. He looked at his SAW, before handing it to Hope.
"Take this, and my ammunition. I have more experience with alien weaponry, so I should be fine," The Legionnaire looked over his newly acquired Storm Rifle, checking to make sure it was fully loaded. He grabbed some extra ammunition for it, before hearing the sound of the approaching Hunters.
"We need to move. Now," Siegfried ordered, leading the way through the rest of the building. It was a fairly brisk walk, with light resistance, and soon they had reached the other side.
"Freelancer Agent Five, this is Legionnaire 333. Hope, some freed rebels, and myself will be exiting the middle building from the south side, the side facing your position. We have hunters following us, and request assistance," Siegfried announced into his coms. As soon as the last word came out of his mouth, a pair of Hunters spotted them and began to charge.
"Out of the building, NOW!" Siegfried ordered as the Hunters picked up speed. The humans ran along, with Siegfried bringing up the rear. He would stop every so often, to engage the Hunters in a brief firefight before falling back again. He managed to wound a hunter in the "face", burning a few eels in the process. Unfortunately, his rifle was not going to be enough to keep the Hunters at bay. Siegfried fell back again, this time finding himself next to Hope.
"Hope, we have no idea if your comrade is this third building or not. I believe we can search it, but there is no guarantee we will find your friend. The enemy are closing in, and fast. The ship in the sky is no doubt going to glass a nearby rebel base, and the rest of the surrounding area as well.
We need to make a decision, and soon. It doesn't matter what it is, but we need to make it now," Siegfried finished, opening fire onto another Hunter as the group of humans approached the final building.
