Part 4
The city was up in flames and smoke arise from the fields. Buildings were collapsing and breaking down, leaving more dust clouds in the area. Miles of rubble and dust, as far the eye could reach, where a few days before, a shiny and great city stood. The sound of explosions and screams and the round of rattling guns was starving away. Ships flew over the ruble in search of any resistance, but there wasnt any. The marines who were fighting het army;s of the covenants were all dead, but the covenants had lost all there battle strenght too. Just a few banshees were flying and a few ghosts were driving, searching for survivors, wounded allies and enemy resistance. The humans and the covenants were 4 miles seperated from eachother, as the humans were searching in the rubble for survivors. MCconto was fully under dirt and dust as he gained conciousness. He coughed, as he saw his armor screwed up. He tryed to stand up, but he felt a terrible pain in both legs and he fell down right after. He kept coughing loud, as he layed there on the ground. He heared more loud coughings, not by himself, and rubble was moving aside, as Alpha Perseus, a marine, stood up. He, was more lucky, as he had no pain in his leg. But he did, had a broken left arm. At the other arm, he held his gun, as he called for medics via an personal intercom. More marines stood up, and gained conciusness, and began to rally, trying to stop bleeding wounds of others.
"hey, guys, over here!" Mcconto said, while he laid down 20 feet from them. They noticed him, and they tryed to help him up.
"MCconto! You're alive! We will help, cmon, stand up! Cmon! You can do it, dont be stubborn!" as 4 marines tryed to get him up, but Mcconto complaned that he couldnt walk.
"when will the medics be here?" Marine Peters said, little scared for the answer.
"'Bout ten minutes, in the meantime, search for other survivors in the rubble!" General Silverblade said, commanding, to the other marines and was talking to sargeants one on one for the overview of the situation.
"...And tell me when you found all the survivors!" he continued, and now, turning to Mcconto, and started to talk to Mcconto as they had the same rank.
"Mcconto... you must know, I saw a weird covenant commanding Hunters. He was not a Phrophet, but it can fly, it can use his hands to make a bomb like something. They destroyed our full tank forces, and many enemy Hunters have gone to move to other cities to seek callenge from the other marines. I guess that this time, the technology wasnt enough to overcome them... they were too strong... ----
he was disrupted by a giant flash, many screams, and after that right away a big explosion who was so strong that fuill buildings collapsed and that the marines who stood on theyre feet were blown away and fell on the ground.
"what the hell was that -----" marine Septim said, when he was looking around, and just saw that no building was standing, and giant gaps were all around them. Helicopters of the medics were coming close and were about to land, when a Hunter noticed it and fired his Fuel Rod Cannon and was hitting the helicopter, who destroyed. Several bodies were falling out while burning, and 4 medics survived the attack, from the 20 who were in the helicopter. Now, they all were marooned on this field of ash, smoke, fire and dust.
"hey, medic, wait up", a marine said to a medic with a big glass, who turned around to face him, and had a pistol in the hand, and in the other one a med kit, and a suitcase,"what is the situation at HQ over there?" The marine continued.
The medic looked frightened to him and said: "they are all dead."
A few marines flinched now they knew that they were cornered and now HQ was down here, they had no chance to survive. All buildings and shelters were collapsed and the covenant double checks body's of marines to make sure they were all dead. They searched for survivors of Marines and would kil those who still lived, without mercy. Though they mumbled that those marines died a honorfull death, and those, who they had to execute, they mumbled to them, they were to be honored in the Covenant books.
Of course, in such a battle, the news people were broadcasting live aqbout the situation. Mentioning the battle on Sol III, the message landed over the whole galaxy. So that was too, in Sol II, in a Tavern called The Longshot.
Frederick Sniper was sitting on the bar, where a boring program was on, wich the barman liked, when the program was interrupted for the broadcast of the covenant fighting on Sol III. The broadcast begun.
"Fighting at Sol III: Covenant Reappearance" a voice said, whjen pictures and 'live' images of the battle was showed.
"welcome, I am Trudy Bassinger" The women said, when thje camera turned to her, and then to the man, as he began to speek: "I am Sam Terryam." He said.
"this is a special broadcast from Sol III, where heavy fighting has shaken up the city's."
Now, all the people who were sitting in and outside the tavern stopped mumbling, and were all fashinating looking at the Galactic Vision. Frederick himself, took another strong Seraphimacally drink, (Seraphimacally is the new Alcoholical substance, who is better for your body and soul, but expensive, and you get still drunk...) and looked at the GV carefully.
"Here are live images of the situation there. We will continue to broadcast about this situation." The women said, as the images showed the shooting down of the helicopter, the destruction of the tanks, bu not shown who did it, the collapsing buildings and the storming marines versus the hunters, as they were slaugtered but a man in green armor bashed through them slaughtering the hunters faster than they all did by the humans dodging the fel rod cannons, he bashed his gun through a hunters weak spot in the neck. While the man and the women keep saying what happened, frederick couldnt even hear them, because he was fixed on the GV.
"Looks like someone said that even God couldnt kill us!" a man in he Tavern said, who was expecially drunk, as he had 2 full tabled full with strong drinks fully empty.
Some people lauged but most were fixed on the GV, but Frederick the most.
People were walking in the tavern fixed on the GV and ordered some drinks, sat down on table, and was gathering information by looking at the GV.
The barman himself was the only one who was happy.
In the first time since he sold free drinks, his tavern was full of people, and 500 people were standing in and out of the tavern looking at the GV's.
At GV shops, hundreds of peoples were looking at the GV's who were all on the broadcast, and they all were shocked. All the images were showned, and now the images of the medics who were helping the last marines were showned, and the man in green mjolnir suit, was there too. The camera was zoomed in on him, and Frederick Sniper recognized him and mumbled: "Mcconto......"
back at the battlefield, the little portable GV transmitter, who transmitted the images of the battle was focussed at Mccono, as 2 medics were buay curing his legs. The technology of Nano2 was able to 'repair' you Torso, legs, feet, arms and Cranium in 3 hours. The medics had to give a shot of 154 cc of sleep and paralyse before they could let the nano2 organism cure the wounds and his legs. His legs were broken, but the Nano2 technology is able to disintegrate the parts of bone who are not good, and easily could integrate new bone, curing the wounds and problems as well as the pain, and Mcconto could walk after 3 hours, when he woke up after the tremendous high amount of paralysis and sleep so they could operate, who would let and elephant sleep for 5 years, made Mcconto sleep for 3 hours. The medics were looking very weird when the sleep formula did not work on him.
Right away he sprinted to the nearest group of marines, and was making the defence strategy, to get out of there alive.
After 6 hours of watching in the tavern, when the broadcast was stopped, the people at the tavern were all in deep shock, so they still standed there watching at the GV, big eyes, as they could not believe what they saw. The covenants were back again after about 30 to 40 years, and the amount of information transmitted to theyre brains was about too much for them to handle.
So they stood there for about 12 minutes, before the barman was saying: "free beer for everyone!!" And the reaction was coming slowly by the devastated people.
Some grabbed theyre free beers and kept in a shock, and others were slowly mumbling, as some returned to theyre seat, and they all needed a lot of strong drinks to overcome theyre shock.
It was like, every family they had and friends died, as like they looked more and more people began to mumble and talk, and all of them about what they just saw.
The marine forces at Sol III were vastly preparing themselves now they saw this situation and researched 24/7 now on technology and new strategy.
They brainstormed to combine the AR's better for accuracy and new enhancements, and they came on the idea to make special bullets who hold virusses, especcially contaminating for the same life form as it was shoot at.
they created diseases in the bullets, ice to frost them combined with paralysis, water, who were contaminated. bullets began to form weird small capsules now, and soon enough, they presented theyre newest piece of technology. they had been offered salary upgrade, milions of Galactical Dollars (yes, money to spend in all the galaxy without troubles of trading money for money native int he other planet.) were offered to each scientists.
Days were flying over at the battlefield, as recon squads were found, fireteams were gathered, lost covenants were seen and killed, and they expanded to get out of the battlefield.
The sound of growling Hunters, Elites and grunts, as well the sound of the weapons of them from far, was now
dayly, like traffic in New York.
Cities were destroyed and the planet was shaking.
Soon, a full desert of ash, fire and smoke was the only thing in the wide radius of 100 miles.
After 2 months, th planet was undone of all human activities, and the covenants were about to board a Cruiser, when Mcconto and the marines appeared.
Throwing fragmentation grenandes hitting the grunts and Jackals who were fkying away, some against nearby Hunters, who fell down. the smoke grenades created another blindly situation for the covenants, as the humans charged silently, small bursts of fire killing everyone.
A Hunter was trying to fight, throwing awahy 2 marines, blasting 3 with his fuel rod gun, and retreated in the cruiser.
Just as the doorsclosed, 4 fragmentation grnandes were throwned in and he was exploding and flown out of the cruiser door landing on the ground of the 4 marines who hrowed the grenandes.
Mcconto quickly picked up all the fuel rod guns, pointed it at the ship, and jsut when the ship was in the air, pointing out the weak point, he blasted the fuel rod guns, disabling the engines of the ship of 340 metres long, and he crashed down. Grunts alking out and firing to create some time for the ship to repair, but they were killed sufficiently easily and the humans ran into the the cruiser, killing all enemy contacts.in the cruiser.
Soon enough, they bashed into the control room, and slaugtered to Prophets hiding there.
They repaired the ship, and moved into space, now theyre is no human lifeform left. This covenant cruiser was from the Elite Guard from the covenant forces. They imported the LAAg's and HAAG's, retting htem up and at good popint for defence if the covenant would attack. Ext stop: Altmer Station, in the Debris fields of Sol III north of the Alpha Draconian system, where Sol II sat. Most likely, they would have to board another ship. Landing wit a Covenant ship on a station would sound red alert and theyre would be lots of trouble on the battlestations.
