"I'm setting up a navpoint for you to find us. Were in prison facility 877254858462739584362424363484960979574710032002. Hurry!" Said 035. His voice was filled with fright. "It must be pretty bad up there." Said Pvt. Trevors. "You sure about this?"

"Of courseI'm sure. The covenant battlenet gives me direct coordinates to prison facility877254858462739584362424363484960979574710032002.It shouldn't be that hard. Here. I'llupload the maps into your HUD and CyberLensdisplay.The complicated labyrinth appeared on the Marines'computer display lens and the SPARTAN IIIs' HUD displays. "You wanna get us thru that?"Said Sgt. Reynolds. "We better get some more troops!" He then spat over the radio:

"Reynolds to fleet. Reynolds to fleet. We need additional reinforcements! Drop them off at the nav pointI've set up for you."

"Roger, Sgt. Reynolds. Nav signal received. Approaching LZ. Wait. What's that?! 4 banshees!!! OH, NO!! THEY'VE GOT SHADE CANNONS PLACED ON THE LZ! THEY"RE SHOOTING US OUT OF THE SKY!!! LOSING CONTA--- AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"Reynolds to marines. Reynolds to marines! Over."

"Roger.Sergeant Martinezreporting. We lost some of ourplatoon in the crash. We're in a bad way. We've got wounded."

"Well, get your butts up to the gravity lift, we'll get you some medical supplies."

"Roger. Over and out."

A door opened, and a squad of jackals, 12 of them,charged out. "Whchdxu hw!" one of the jackals said in a scratchy voice. Immediately the jackals ran in and chargedtheir Gqtdjsnxq & Uyencfjs-producedplasma pistols to the max.They stood on the gravlift loading zone. At the same time, Sgt. Martinez' marines offloaded. Some of the marines welded together with the grunts during the teleportationprocess, and itmade one sickening look when that happened. "Bloody crap!" Screamedmarine Corporal Aarons. "That's horrible!"Then, a huge armada of grunts and elites, more than Aarons had ever seen, tore through the blast door. there were 100 grunts and 30 elites. That was aproblem. 6 hunters charged in after them. "WE'RE SCREWED!!"Said Pvt.Jenkinsville. "WE'RE SCREWED!" The eliteswere advancing. They shot their plasma rifles at lightning speed.
They really don't want us to get the admiral. Thought Sgt. Martinez. He pulled out his Jackhammer rocket launcher and fired 4 shots at the elites. Wiping out 16 of them. He picked up a plasma sword and severed the heads and limbs of some of the grunts. Plasma and lead flew across the room, the battle was fierce. Spartan 037, of whom 23508 belonged to, sent new commands to his spartans. "Spartans 056 to 124, Set antitank mines across the border. I've already told the rest of the troops about our plan. Go, go, go!"

The grunts and elites had been busy combatting a distraction squad of marines when the spartans laid the mines. The squad fell back into the main team, and, of course, the covies pursued them. Flames lit up the elites and grunts. Their plasma grenades went off, causing a gaping hole in the hovertower. One of the hovertower's engines set off. Damaging the main reactor. "Analyzing... In 24 minutes thetower's reactor will detonate,causing an explosion much like the oneset off during theattack on General Jsywk! It will destroy the entire homeworld! We have to hurry!" 23508 said. A squad of grunts came to see what was going on. The spartans picked up the plasma rifles of the dead elites, and fired shots at theweak foot soldiers.The Fyefsjfndkqnium-sealed methane gas burned, causing the grunts to go mad. Their suits burned up, leaving charred flesh. The marines had never seen a grunts without their combat armor on, they looked hideous. "Man." Said Lt. Riverton. "And my daughter said they were cute!"
"Right on, Lieutenant." Said Commander Mendoza. "But we've got to get moving."

The next room was a hangar bay.Charred black with explosions. Covemant dropships lay crashed, banshees were torn to peices, and8 Seraph fighters lay smouldering in flames. "You know,"SaidSpartan 503. "Since the security here was knocked out by a reactor blast, this would be a good place to get some reinforcements."
"Good thinking!" SaidSpartan Lieutenant 037.

"037 toRobo team. 037 to robo team. Come in. Over."
"Roger, Robo team standing by. You need some reinforcements?'

"Yeah. We need 80 troops. Make sure that at least 20 of them have Jackhammer Rocket launchers."

"On my way. RoboLeader out."

Pelican dropships whistled through the sky and dropped a giant army of marines. A dozen banshees appeared, scoring the pelican dropships with plasma. The marines took out their Rocket launchers and blew the airfighters out of the sky. "WHOOO-EE!!" Exclaimed Lt. Spearson. "Ya see that? That's how tough they are!"
"Hurry! Only 19 minutes before the ship explodes! Let's go!"

In the next roomthere were somemarines that escaped fromone of the prison facilities and wereattacking a company of 13 grunts. The grunts were losing until a Commander-elite charged in andtried to chop the snot outof them. "THOSE COVIE FREAKS!" Screamed one of the marines as he wasted 75% of his battery on the elite. Another marinegave the elite several melee hits to the back and wasted 2 clips out of his needler onto the covenant monster.He ran towards the remaining 5 grunts and when the needles detonated, the entire team of grunts wnd the elite were burned away by the purple plasma blast the needles made.
"I could've beaten them mysel-- WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Spartan 3s." The marine snapped a crisp salute to thegod-likewarrior. "My dearest apologies, SIR! My squad has been held in here since the battle of Sigma Octanus II in 2576. Weescaped when an explosionbroke open the prison doors. We salvagedthe weapons of the dead guards, and made ithere.I also know where the Spartan IIs are being kept.Follow me!"
They took the marines advice and followed him down the brig facility. But at the end of the last door, 16 grunts blocked their way. Some of them were carrying fuel rod rifles. The fuel rod guns vaporized 4 of the marines and 2 of the Spartans. 037 grabbed the leader and strangled him, eventually breaking his spine. The other grunts panicked. They ran in all directions, screaming desperately. The marines blew the grunts to smithereens. "Well, here's the moment of truth." Said Commander Mendoza. He punched in a few controls and when the door opened, Admiral Fkagbe was questioning the prisoners. He was an elite with yellow, green, and purple armor. The prisoners spotted the Spartan IIIs, and immediately ran away. There was extra security in the interrogation room,10 admiral-elites,20 Captain-elites, and 40 Commander-elites. Members of the covenant ruling council. Fkagbe thought prophets were to weak for his empire, so he murdered them all and put his elites in control. They immediately spotted the troops and slaughtered 40 of them. But with grenades, jackhammer launchers, needlers, and sniper rifles, the humans had the advantage. Mendoza took a plasma sword and cut the arm off admiralFkagbe and disabled his shieldgenerating system. The marines shot plasma bolts at ahe elite's other arm and legs, making him immobile and weak. 23508 checked the timer. 3 minutes. The troops had to get evac. When theyleft the interrogation room,in the place of the rest of the hallway was a gigantic gashthat made a perfet evac zone.10 pelican dropships waited for them. They flew by the base, which had been abandoned, and to the fleet. 3... 2... 1... an explosion went off at the hovertower, and the explosion was just as powerful as the one that defeated General Jsywk. The planet started tocrumble. The covenant had been defeated.The best squad of marines, the Spartan IIIs, and the Spartan II veterans had become heroes. On thecruiser Earth II,John greeted his old friends.There were covenant patrols that were trying to rescue their captured leader, but with the Earth II's 5 MAC cannons, 950 archer missile pods, 1245 point-defense weapons, 70 nukes, and1000 longsword fighters, the humans were unbeatable. Thehorrible saga of the Human-Covenant war was over. There would be covenant who objecred, the war would continue. But since the covies were weak, the humans were in control of the known galaxy.
