PART 8 ---
They did not have much time. Covenants would be here the next day. The humans were stealing flying vehicles from the roads to flee to somewhere in the deserts, who were not here. Just away. They wanted to get away.
"Don't get me wrong..." Frederick began, "But I must say, we have too much people here. We cannot control these people yet. We need to survive this battle. Then, we might have chance to get them united. But how..." he said. MCconto watched over too, when they walked. Things were stolen, people were screaming, running and stealing, with words they say like: "Tomorrow we will all die!"... everything was attacked, when MCconto, Frederick, and a few marines walked by to overlook. Even people were robbed. But when MCconto passed with the marines and Frederick, they all stopped stealing, and were even more afraid. The strongest man ever, was standing there, before thjem, and he was not pleased. Some people began to but the stuff on the ground, or givving the braceletr back, or shove it back, clothes were given back slowly, and the ones who were stealing, were walking backwards, facing MCconto feared, who looked angry.
"Why do you people began to rampage when a other race would be about to attack? Why don't you stand along your brothers in place of robbing them? YOU would be the thing that mae sure, we would all die in this war. You make us vulnerable for the enemy. And not every covenant is an enemy. I proven that. Why dont you prepare for the covwenants, so you could give them hell? And what is wrong in giving your brothers help in things. Why do you rampge and do the last day of your life bad things, inplace of being wise, and protect your friends, bring your last day with eachother through good, not by stealing, doing harm. Try to unite, that is what I ask. I KNOW the human race is not foolish, and that they can unite, agaisnt another enemy, Humans did this a lot times in history. Even recently. Prove yourselves, humans, and die glorious, and be remembered by your sons, daughters and grandsons intop eternity. Dont do it for yourslef, but for the FUTURE." MCconto said, to the large crowd. He used such a loud voice, allmost anyone in the city heard, what he said, and understand. Others soon quit attacking others.
Next day, 11 AM, Frederick wakes up. He saw MCconto at his bed, messing with his pistol, loading it, unloading. He was quite nerved. "'morning" he said, a little bored, to the just woked up Frederick Sniper.
"looks like... the people calmed down...?" Frederick yawned, when checking outside and then to his outfit. But MCconto said: "Take this, my friend. I got it from the storages of the Naval Planet Plato... yes, it is the new Mjolnir, now with stronger materials, and a lots of blabla I heard. Anyway, its much stronger than this ol' thingy I'm wearing." MCconto said. Little less attention to his pistol, he turned to Frederick. "well, my friend, put it on" he said to Frederick, who looked a little in unbelief. He might be a disciplines person, he couldnt supress this feeling, that he had this. He was way less disciplined person than MCconto, anyway, and less experienced, and younger.
The minutes were counting, the streets were empty. Women and kids were hiding underground, and when situation would go out of hands, they could run to the dropships and cruisers.the cruisers and dropships were ready to leave, as hundreds of marineas marched to battle stations.tanks were placed at strategic fronts, commanded by 6 marines, 2 for movement, 2 for the 4 barreled cannon, and 2 for machine guns for smaller attackers.
A Glorious tank arsenal was placed there.
Generals were speaking with the marine groups, giving them orders, warthogs were driving to everywhere they could be drived to, airbases were put up.
LAAG's were placed all over, on roofs, HAARL's were placed, with cover of teams of marines, and HAAG's, now containing anti small ship rockets, were placed near big groups of humans, some as cover for HAARL's, others placed were they could. Some LAAG's were placed on rooftops of normal manors, houses.
Fast, engineers turned up with a great anti destroyer bomb. That could be able of destroying a entire Destroyer.
That, could be able, to destroy a big force of the assault. But it was 1 shot. More time, they did not have. "Engineers!" MCconto said. The engineers turned around. "Create another rocket, or, as much as you can. NOW! We dont have time!" MCconto said. "create it under cover, or underground. The underground cities sent a lot of men. You can rendesvous with them." MCconto finished. He turned away, overlooking the situation he presented a new battle scedule to gathered generals, and gave copies to them. "Men, Plans changed." The generals then said to the groups they presented.
Apparently, the covenants used a scan on the planet, and saw the status, and are adjusting the battle tactic to break the humans. Now, MCconto presented the defensive plans, who would break the enemy force, they had a better chance to survive. At the last moment, some rabble, entired marines, and armed civilians joined the forces. They received orders, and soon, the forces sent by the underground cities came. They fortifying the complete status of the human defence.
"Rakshasa, as you ready? We scanned the planet, and we adjusted out tactic and strategy. We will crush them. 1 hour to go, friend... ahhhh look... there we are... SOL II... another human capitol, ready to die..." Covenant forces and prophets leader Astaroth said. "Yes, Master, I am ready" Rakshasa said. "I have a lock on the target. He won't escape. No human wil survive. They are scattered, and kill theyre own people. Humans are a dumb race, cruel, as us, only prtected by those fine words like'justice', 'freedom', 'rights', 'democracy'... they who lead the humans could sustain the humans for 6 extra ages...funny, how they dont react. All they do is run, scream, and fall... yes... this mission is much to easy..." Rakshasa said."Did you load out your weapons?" Astaroth said. "yes, Master, I have all the weapons with me" Rakshasa said. "what? All weapons?" Prophet Astaroth asked confused. "uhhh... I dont know... doesnt that make sure you cant run?" he said. "Master, I can carry it all. The engineers made me a suit who can hold the weapons." Rakshasa said. "Give them Hell." Prophet Astaroth said. Back at Sol II, MCconto finished his speech to the marines and forces, saying: "Give them Hell!"...
