"Damn!" Major Jacobs exclaimed, as another one of his marines went down. He was in a bad situation. The Covenant were attacking earth with their enormous fleet, and Hood had just reported that more ships were arriving. Peeking at the enemy from behind his cover, a small metal barrier, he saw 4 hunters come in, not to mention the horde of jackals, buggers, and brutes that were already present. But to his surprise and glee, the hunters began to assault the jackals, buggers and brutes, instead of the marines. Than Hood, sounding amazed, told him on his radio that the ships that were arriving were aiding them, not attacking them. Jacobs looked up again and 5 elites and 10 grunts followed the hunters and they too, assaulted their former allies. The brutes and their allies, suddenly caught in a deadly crossfire, were almost immediately eradicated. Even after the battle, the marines, wary of the hunters and elites, kept their guns leveled at them. The elites pointed their guns down, showing non-aggression. Major Jacobs, still amazed asked the head elite, the one with gold armor on, what was going on. The elite replied, "The covenant cast us out. We are now your allies. The enemy of your enemy is your friend." Jacobs contacted Hood and said, "Sir, we just made some friends."

Meanwhile, on earth, in the Alaskan tundra, our hero MC was defending a small base against the covenant. 5 phantoms had dropped off about 100 troops, yet master chief only had 15 marines, and himself. One of the marines, seeing the advancing troops, exclaimed "Son of a-" but was cut short by a particle beam shot to the neck. He flailed and gurgled, struggling to breathe, but within seconds he dropped to the ground and his last breath escaped him. MC immediately grabbed a sniper rifle and went to the sniper roost. He zoomed in and shot an unsuspecting jackal in the center of the forehead. The jackal froze, and stayed standing a few seconds before falling down. He then proceeded to take out a few buggers fluttering around, and then took out some brutes with some well-placed headshots. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw 3 more phantoms coming in. they dropped out 10 elites and 15 grunts. But to master chief's surprise, they immediately lobbed six plasma grenades into the group of jackals, buggers and brutes. Six plumes of plasma razed the enemy ranks, practically annihilating the entire force. A few buggers tried to run, but a brilliantly thrown plasma grenade lodged onto it, blowing up, and taking out 3 other buggers and a jackal. The remaining 45 troops made a dash for it, but the elite controlled phantoms destroyed them, like some sick kid with a magnifying glass and an ant farm. Afterwards, master chief went out with his remaining 14 marines, and met with the elites and grunts. He already had an idea of what was going on, remembering the time he spent on high charity, when the brutes and jackals and buggers cast the elites, grunts and hunters out. The marines were still confused. The head elite came over and said, " greetings. The covenant has cast us out, and now we seek vengeance for the prophets betraying us. Now, we are your allies." Master chief turned to his marines. He asked, "Anyone got a problem with this alliance? If you do, speak up now." None of the marines seemed resentful, in fact they seemed relieved. One of them grinned and exclaimed, " We are going to kick the covenant's ass!" The head elite said, "Indeed we will." Master chief asked him if they could transport them to Cairo station, where major Jacobs and Hood were. He agreed to take them, and off they went.

On Cairo station, Hood and Jacobs met with their new elite allies, their current commander, (half-jaw) and Master chief. They discussed their current situation, and decided what to do. They were going to board a covenant capital ship, take it over, and use it to take out as much of the covenant fleet as they could, with the help of Cairo station's Mac gun, along with other stations. They took a force consisting of master chief, 5 elites, and 10 marines onto two of the elites phantoms. One of the covenant capital ships, easily duped into thinking they were their phantoms, let them in. in the docking bay, 5 brutes awaited the occupants of the phantom to come out. What came out instead, was a rocket that instantly killed the five brutes. Then the strike force piled out, MC leading. They immediately headed for the bridge. Not surprisingly, 5 brutes and ten jackals came to greet them. They immediately gunned down a marine, but MC with his rocket launcher destroyed most of them, delivering a rocket to a brute's face, instantaneously killing it and everything around it with a violent explosion. the rest of his troops cleaned the rest of them up with very little trouble. They moved on. In the hallway 3 jackals and a brute were coming toward them. An elite threw a plasma grenade that killed the jackals, but the brute went berserk and charged at a marine. He emptied his SMG into the charging brute. It didn't seem to care. As it went by, an elite bashed it in the face with the butt of his carbine. It didn't seem to care. Another elite lopped off its left arm with his energy sword. The brute didn't seem to care. Finally, the marine that the brute was targeting took out his knife and whipped it into the brute's forehead, killing it, and the small amount of brains that the brute had trickled onto the floor. Three more brutes came around the corner at the far end of the hall, in single file. One of the marines, a superb sniper, took aim and fired. The bullet entered the first brutes eye, shredding through the small brain that it had, exited it, went through the next brutes throat, ripping through the jugular vein, and finally stopped in the third one's chest. It instantly killed the first two and the last one took a few seconds to die. Everyone, even master chief, turned and looked at the marine, who gave them all a smug look. Suddenly, a plasma grenade landed next to an elite. One of the marines, private Bob, tackled the elite out of the way. They both escaped unscathed, even though another elite and 3 humans were killed. An elite whipped his own plasma grenade at the brute in retaliation. It landed inside of the brute's mouth, which was ironically open laughing. It detonated, ripping his head into tiny fragments and spraying the elites and humans with steaming gore and brain tissue. They moved on, encountering small groups of jackals and a brute or two, but dispatched them with very little trouble. Finally, they made it to the bridge.
It was infested with at least twenty jackals, 15 buggers, and ten brutes. All of the remaining members of the strike force threw a grenade, equaling a total of 6 grenades being thrown, which resulted in the death of twenty of the forty-five troops in the room. The remaining 25 were jackals and a few brutes, which were dispatched by a few rockets from master chief. It was over. They had taken the ship.
In the detention cells they found 25 marines and 10 elites, and also 6 hunters. Since the humans had no clue how to control the ship, 5 of the higher ranked elites controlled the ship while 7 humans and 3 more elites and master chief guarded the bridge. The others were sent out to clean up any more troops in the ship. 4 humans were talking with two of the elites, one elite watched the door, and 3 humans were sitting in the far corner, whispering, and glaring across the room at the elites. Master chief noticed this and got nearer and eavesdropped. He heard only small bits that included "we shouldn't trust them" and "alien scum" and "keep on your toes and watch your back." At that, master chief stepped in and asked, "do you boys have a problem with the elites working with us?" one of them spoke up and said " the past 2 generations of my family have sworn to destroy these aliens, and I myself have been fighting them for 10 years. Suddenly they are our friends and now you expect me to trust them?" Master chief replied, "yup." Another one of the marines spoke up. He was about to talk when suddenly a huge explosion rocked the ship. One of the elites said " we've been found. They know its us. We just lost reactor 1 and 3, and we are losing power fast. We need to get out. Now. Chief spoke over the intercom, ordering all troops to get back to the phantoms. Just then he saw an antimatter charge heading strait for the bridge....
