The Battle for New Mombassa
After the fight with the scarab Master Chief heads back to bravo base the only UNSC combat insallation that hasn't been attacked. "Sir, were going to have to ship you back out in to the middle of combat,I know you worked hard down at the bridge and the ampatheater bringing down that scarab". Sergeant Olson said.
"You're going to have a showdown for a mall. Were trying to set up a camp there but those dammed covies just wont let us have the fucking thing, so your going to get it for us".
The Master Chief Stands up grabs a Battle Rifle two SMGs four frags and two plasma grenades and enough ammo for a week. So, when do I leave? Chief said just urging for a battle. "The pelican leaves in about, ten minutes. Were doing an air raid around the perimeter first, to trap em in that area,dont worry theres no more snacks inside that mall anyway" Olson said whith a laugh . "Were estimating about 250 to 300 good and strong hostiles". The Master Chief loads up his rifle while still packing on ammo. "So how many men do I get"? The Chief asks. Sergeant Olson replies with bad news. "About ten men strong and healthy,were low on people around here unless we give you the freakin pilotsfor the pelicans or the mechanics,besides the ones you get are veterans so that kinda evens it out a little ".
The Master Chief walks over to the pelican that will take him to the battle not knowing if it will be his last.
The pilot climbs in and preps the air craft for launch. Ten veteran ODSTs climb aboard or hell jumpers. Then the master chief. Five till launch the pilot screams over the pelicans roaring engines. "Here we go" said one of the hell jumpers. "Yeh off into the wild blue yonder" said another as the pelican lifts off the ground.
While in the air Master Chief heard all sorts of gun fire be that it's a gun or plasma weaponry. Two of the covies new weapons guided plasma torpedoes speed past as the pilot just managed to doge them. No one said a word because this is just one of many times they could have been killed. The pelican lands ยน mile away from the mall. "You guys go kick there ass" the pilot said while slowly lifting off. "Ok" said the Master Chief "the covenant here are probely as experienced as you if not more. The ODSTs respond by a crisp salute. They stand up and jog around a corner Master Chief bringing up the rear. BOOM! Two ODSTs die instantly due to a plasma torpedo. The Chief runs up to to the corner where just five seconds earlier two soldiers died. He pulls out the BR55 and send six shots to two grunts totally decapitating them. The ODSTs run from cover to aid Master Chief on killing two veteran elites. "Fuck it" one ODST says while pulling out a rocket launcher that blows the elites body to purple lumps of flesh. "Move up postion"
Yells the Master Chief while simultaneously taking out a pair of minor jackals.
"Commander" Luna Nonamee a minor sangheli says to the field commander of the covenant 6th battalion Borna Fusamee. "Yes". "Commander a set of ten to eight humans has crossed the line". The commander turns to face Luna "No matter, an easy task for the spec op units". Luna replies "No the Demon is with them"
"What" says the commander "tell all units that they must report to the southern border of the building". "Yes commander" Luna turns and walk away happy that he did not lose his life because it was his responsibility to cover that certain area.
"Sir now what" said one of the reaming ODSTs. "We go through this building; it should be there on the other side". "What sir". "The mall". Master Chief walks over to a steel storage door. With one whack of his massive boot the door falls over making a huge clang when hitting the ground. "come one, through here" . While inside the building they encounter four jackals. Easy to take out with Master Chief's fist which caved in there elongated skulls. They climb out one of the side windows in the building after one of the ODSTs broke the glass. Master Chief was the first out then the ODSTs closely behind him. They turn to face the whole covenant 6th infantry battalion.

The Battle for New Mombassa
New Orders: Take The Mall
There stands the Master Chief and Eight lone ODSTs facing a whole covenant 6th battalion.
Boom! A grunt throws a plasma grenade that starts the battle for the mall. "MOVE, Behind that box" yells the Chief while trying to hold off the onslaught so the marines can get to cover. The marines split up between two big boxes. Master Chief fined his own sorts of cover behind a giant pillar. "Okay" yelled the Chief over the continuous plasma fire. "Take as many as you can out, if you run out of ammo tell me". The marines shout back "Yes sir". The Chief scopes out four grunts all in the face but one who had is chest blown.
He know to take out them because the throw those grenades.He sees an unsheilded elite just begging to be shot. So he does right in the face immediately killing him. Almost every marine has a different weapon. Two have snipers secondary armed with BR55s. Three with the old MA5B assault rifles secondary armed with SMGs. The last two marines armed with BR55s and the rocket launcher. They all used there weapons wisely against the covenant battalion. "You two snipers take the position at the top of that building" Chief shouted. "Yes sir". "GO". The Master Chief lay out a barrage of cover fire so the marines could get into a good sniper position so they could give Cheif some cover.
BOOM! "Good shot" says one marine to another as he blows the arms and legs off two minor elites the got in the way of the rocket launchers high explosive rounds. This isn't working thought the Chief. We need to find a way around them, or a big enough explosion to stun the commander. The Chief thought while still taking the lives of covenant to tread to close to his own position. I know. An air strike. "Marine, give me that radio now". The marine shot once more then bent over to seize the radio. "Ok Chief catch". He tossed the radio to the Chief that he caught with one hand while still shooting
"Cover me" He sat down to tune the radio "come in, do you read, do you read". Chhhh.
Only static answered him. He tried another station number 45. "Hello, do you read me, over. This time an answer from a human. "I read you, over". "This is Master Chief requesting an air strike, over". Chhhh. "Ok you coordinates please". It was hard to hear the radio over the plasma fire and explosions of the marine's grenades. "My coordinates are, 453 south, 469 north, over. "I read, air strike on the way, over.
About two minutes after he called it, two longsword fighters came about from the orange sky dropped two fusion non nuclear bombs in the midst of the covenant battalion. The two explosions broke to twenty as the bombs dropped over the covenant.
After the barrage smoke claimed the landscape of the city not harming the mall. The Chief moved up to a new position behind a busted up old car. POW! The Chief heard sniper fire behind him. He turned to see veteran elite with his head blown off. "I got you covered" yelled one of the snipers still on top the building. He turned to the front to see a couple of spec op grunts. Easy to take out with the BR55. Those were his last shots in that clip. He ducked behind the car to reload. As he reloaded he heard more sniper fire but from a covenant beam rifle. He reloaded stood up to see a couple of sniper jackals.
He killed them both with a well placed grenade. Turned to see that one more marine had died due to the snipers. The one with the BR55 had his stomach shot out. The Master Chief had no time to morn his fallen comrade. He knew more covenant were on the way. He had to get himself and the remaining men out of this death trap. He signals the marines to follow him. They walk to a road. Chief knows this should take them around to the mall. BOOM! Two hunter bust from a wall. The Master Chief immediately signals them to fire. The sniper takes one out but the other is enraged over his fallen brother. He charges the marine head on with its massive shield that kills him on impact. Chief sees a moment of opportunity he shoots the hunter six times with the BR55 in the back that kills it instantly.
