"We need reinforcements," cried Gruter. "Give me the damn launcher and ill show you how its done." They had been fighting for almost 10 hours, and the causilties were in the hundreds. It was a fight that started out with 3,000troops There numbers were already down to around 750 equipped marines and soldiers. There were only 5 miles from the Yellow River. The base was on Mt. Al-Doter. It had an elevation of 17,234 ft. It was a base where HAVOK tactical nukes were stored. The mmild was mined 500 ft in and there were 15 nukes left. Thry had been fighting off the covenant almost every week. The defense of the mountain base was extremely good. there were cliff that hung off the side on some parts where the rock shielded them from incoming attacks. Although the mountain wasnt very steep, it was tall, and they could bombard evey covenant son of a bitch who tried to make there way up the mountain. Most of the fighting took place between 5,000 and 12,550 ft. The rest took place at the top, where banshees and phantoms bombarded them with plasma. They were in begining of a never ending battle. The only way to win was to kill them all. Something that Gruter planned on doing.

"Who the hell taught you to fire a gun son," barked Gruter. "You get back over there and take out that hunter." As he said that, a sniper at the top of the installation locked on his 10x scope and saw a Phantom with 40 banshees around it. "Sir, Phantom and multiple banshees heading straight for us,"cried the worried officer Dunlit. "Ok, Everyone that can fire a rocket launcher follow me." ordered Gruter. It was the worst of times for the UNSC. Although some memorable things had happened. Delta Halo had been destroyed. And there was an all out bloody war raging on with the covenant, brutes, and humans. A brave group of souls lost there lives killing many covenant, brutes, and themselves alike with a HAVOK. Now the moment for a top off of an already intense, and costly battle.

"Those bastards should arrive in a minute or so. Now lets make a formation. I know some of you have only been in the UNSC for a month, but right now, the UNSC needs you the most. Form a line of 20 people. Wait for the signal. Lock on and send those bastards to hell for us. The rest of you follow me to the top of the building." inquired Gruter.

"How much longer can we hold them off," asked General Doug A. Rundy. "If we hold them for another hour, twenty Scorpion tanks will arrive from the Yellow River. If were lucky, they will blow the shit out of all ground covenant troops and aerial vehicles alike. But thats if we get lucky." said corporal Al Salek "Then we shall use all of our resources to do as much damage possible," said Rundy.

"The rest of you. Form a line quick. Make sure your jack hammer launchers are loaded. Ready down there. Aim. Fire!" roared Gruter. 30 rockets fired simultaneously. 2 missed but the rest blew up 28 banshees. The second round of rockets went off destroying the remaining banshees. But not soon enough. Plasma was everywhere and the installation was blacker than deep space with noting around you. It was the end of the line for 25 brave fighters. Their body parts were scattered about on the area of the base.

"Goddamit." screamed Gruter. "I thought we had them. I guess we were overwhelmed by all the plasma. Well, everyone thats still alive, follow me.


"The ghost dropped off 20 hunters. And we are receiving word from the UNSC that about 580,000 covenant troops are moving towards you. They already wiped out Hong Kong. Everyone died. Only 420,000 covenant troops died." stated Candez. Candez was their main link between them and the UNSC stations around the area. he controlled all of the communication. Earlier, plasma from a Phantom cut through the top of the building and killed everyone in communications except him. He had been handling the post for 5 hours now.
"Tell Gruter. Im sure he will be pleased to hear it." said Rundy. "Sir, yes sir." Candez replied.

"You know what, this day is gonna be competing for worst day ever in my book. I mean damn. 580,000 more of them. Ok. Time to see who can kill the most covenant." said Gruter. With that he saw a remaining ultra elite hiding from there view. He took out his sniper rifle, locked on 10x scope, and the elite feel over, with blood everywhere.

The battle raged on. 100 more people had died in the next 5 hours. The had only 600 survivors now. And they had taken out 50,000 covenant troops. Now they had to take as many covenant weapons as possible because they had exhausted their own supply except for 10 rocket launchers, 2 shotguns, 1 full clip of smg bullets, and scattered ammo for the pistol, battle rifle, and sniper rifel. They only had 1 satchel still running and no food, supplies, and 1 medic left.

"Get yourselves together dammit" barked Gruter. "Gather all of there weapons because we need them for round two." Gruter thought round one goes to us. I cant wait for round two. They had managed to take out 50,000 covenant troops. Granted most were grunts and jackals. But there were still many hunters and elites killed as well. An accomplishment for them nonetheless.

Hope had come at last. 14 of the 20 scorpion tanks had made it. The remaining 6 were blown up by plasma. They were being stationed in front of the base. Waiting for the covenant bastards to show up. Everyone was stationed somewhere on the base by Gruter. Most of them carried fuel rod cannons. The rest had covenant sniper rifles. Some grabbed needlers,pistols, rifles, carbines, and a few grabbed swords. They were waiting for the biggest resistance and all out battle that the UNSC had ever faced. More backup was on its way, but would not reach them until tomorrow at the earliest.

"Alright everyone. Now we wait. When I give the signal. Open fire and destroy every covenant bastard you see." said Gruter. "Rundy has given me permission to engage them. Remember. Were outnumbered, tired, and hungry. But we must resist them in every way possible. Take aim and fire like hell. Give them hell. And send them to hell."
Gruter said one last thing, "Rundy has told me to tell all of you one thing-Make the covenant a nice grave." To be continued...
