Halo Flood 50

"It looks like someone has been tracking you," Cor-
tana said grimly. "Now, get ready-I'll take control of the elevator and cause it to drop. You roll a couple of grenades into the shaft."

'Zamamee saw the energy bolt hit the hatch, experi-
enced a sense of exhilaration as the human hurried to escape, and felt the platform jerk to a halt.
The Elite had just fired again, just blown what re-
mained of the human's cover away, when he heard a
clank and the lift started to descend.

"No!" he shouted, sure that one of the Grunts was
responsible for the sudden movement, and desperate
lest the human escape his clutches. But it was too late, and there was nothing the smaller aliens could do, as the elevator continued to fall.
Then, even as his target vanished from sight, and 'Zamamee railed at his subordinates, a couple of grenades tumbled down from above, rattled around the floor, and exploded. The force of the blast lifted the Elite up and out of his seat, gave him one last look at his opponent, and let him fall. He hit with a thud, felt something snap, and waited for his first glimpse of paradise.-Chpt.12 pg.374
