The Eclipse.
The UNSC have begun to rebuild it Inner colonies alongside rebuilding it Fleets and Defences. The Sangheili people have unified under the Arbiter Government and made peace with Humanity and Unggoy. There is still instability on the border worlds with the Brutes resulting in the Brutes losing ground. No news of the other species only that ONI is searching for them.
UNSC and The Arbiter have agreed to fight the Covenant Remnant forces on all fronts to prevent them from building up a powerful fleet.
Many theatres of War have been opened all over known space with devastating result, the UNSC have taking losses but the Sangheili are dependent on Unggoy ship yards for repair there battered ships.
The UNSC Eclipse is a Phoenix class ship with a few up-grads such as Forerunner Shields and Engines. It also has a Prototype Forerunner Slip-space Drive with the capability of travailing 261.10 light years pear day and that makes it faster than the Infinity. The commanding officer of this ship and her escorting ships is Admiral James Morgan, A former ODST who defender London from the Covenant during the Battle of Earth. He picked up many scars in London from Plasma Fire and exploding shrapnel. After The Battle of the Ark he transferred to the Officers academy to lead the next generation of Soldiers to victory from anything the galaxy throws at the human race. He became the Commanding officer of the UNSC Luna as his first command position; he got promoted to second of command of the UNSC Eclipse after responding to a Sangheili Distress and risking himself and the crew saving the sangheili frigate from Loyalist ships. He becomes The Commanding officer of the Eclipse Fleet shortly after the Battle of Station18 when he displayed Courage and discipline when he was faced with crushing odds. His fleet was built on ten Frigate and five destroys and the Eclipse, he ordered half his fleet to slip-space behind the Remnant ships and the other half to engage head on in an aggressive close combat blood bath. The rear ships bombarded the remnant Ship to weaken their shields and confuse the enemy. The station was Saved with little damage.
The Eclipse Fleet was now holding position five Light years away from a Forerunner Shield world awaiting orders. On the Bridge of the Mighty Eclipse the Admiral was talking over com with his Sanghilion Counterpart over battle Plans. "So my fleet will hit them on the left and your fleet will hit them hard on the right shipmaster?" The Admiral asked "If you have other ideas?" the shipmaster asked "when we jump out of slip-space i suggest we use our fighters to cut through enemy lines and drop a few nukes on the command ship" The Admiral suggested "Human your plan still require us to engage the ships any way!" The shipmaster confusedly said "Shipmaster if we hit that command ship the fleet will go into disarray and the rest will fall in line!"The shipmaster liked that idea "Hummmm it might work but still as soon as we jump out they will be sending all they have at us!" the shipmaster pointed out "That why we split our fleet into four so they will have no choice but to remain entrenched and wait for us to make our move! And when the command ship falls we will hit them hard!" the Admiral proudly answered the Shipmaster "Human you have a good plan and i agree with it" he then sent a message to the Admiral with his fleet location "Give the order human and we will be there" and the com went dead.
Admiral Morgan turned to his A.I "Sera i need you to Inform Echo team they will be needed shortly and Bring the fleet to combat readiness i want to hit the enemy within ten minute" He demanded of his A.I but she just nodded and got to it.
In the Briefing room in the lower deck of the ship, Echo Team was sitting down waiting for the Team leader to arrive. The Two ODST Roberts and Jones newly passed out of the Academy and ready for a fight. Roberts is marksman, passed all his marksman test's with every weapon in the Academy but prefers his Personal DMR, personalised with red camflash with a longer barrel for longer range; He was also equipped with two Magnum pistols for up-close fighting. Jones was a bit more aggressive then Roberts with his SMG'S and Rocket launcher for heavy duties. He was the fittest in his entire platoon back at the academy and brilliant at fixing things and driving.
On the other End of the Table two Sangheili Warriors were sitting silently. Roberts asked them "Hey you two! What your stories" the two looked up and responded "Human my name is Ra and my companion is Shu" Roberts thought to himself why they got Egyptian god names "So what up with the Names?" the Two looked at each other "Your commanding Officer gave us these names because our real names are too complicated to say" before Roberts could get deeper into the conversation the door opened and a large figure walked through in Spartan Armour. Everyone in the Room went silent at the sight of a living legend. He walked right in front of the table and he put his hand on the table, and a Beautiful figure appeared in front of all the room. "I'm cortana and this is the Master Chief and you four have been picked to become part of a new joint spec ops unit lead by me and the chief" Ra got up and pointed at Cortana "What trickery is this! We all know you died above Earth" Cortana snapped at him "I'm a copy of her built from Remnant memories of her but I'm not her" Ra Sat down in his char, but Shu had a question "Construct i must know what we are here for" Chief Got a data Chip out of his pouch and entered into the Table console "If you can draw your attention to this reconstruction of the shield world" chief Told his new soldiers, cortana Took over from him "This was built late in the Flood war and it propose is to hide the Forerunner in another Reality to avoid the Halo's destructive Power" Jones raised his hand and asked Cortana "So why didn't work ?" She answered "The Halo's fired first and they were not able to fire it" Roberts was now thinking how they got this Intel "Ma'am how did we get this Intel?" And to every one else in the room was thinking the same "It came from Doctor Halsey who also over so my reconstruction" everyone in the room decided to move on from the questioning. "Ok Gent our mission is simple! When the fleet engage the Remnant fleet we will be dropping down via drop pods right on top of the Command Room of this shield world" the Team remained silent as cortana went through her Briefing. "Gent we are dropping within the next twenty minute so to get to it men" cortana ordered Echo.
In that twenty minute the four soldiers got their gear on. Roberts got his all black ODST armour on and the same time Jones got his Black and green ODST armour on. The Elite's got there Spec ops armour on and Ra and tested his Energy sword. Shu Inspected his Carbine rifle and gave Ra a plasma Rifle. A voice came over the Inter com "All crew to your station we are engaging the Enemy in two minutes" The master chief walked in to the Armoury "into your pods men" he ordered his men.
The fleet arrived at the forerunner shield world. UNSC Eclipse split her forces in half and the Sangheili did the same forcing the fleet to hold it ground. The Admiral sent a message to his Longsword fighters giving them the all green. "This is Longsword squadron 778 we are heading to the target" The admiral responded to the message "As soon as you hit the ship head into the Shield world and assist Echo Team" the Pilot only responded "Yes sir" before heading into hell itself. The Longswords Dodged AA guns and Missiles taking losses "Squad Leader the Enemy have sent Interceptors!" Squad Leader responded "We hit that Command ship no matter the Cost" and they kept flying through the Fleet with energy projectiles flying everywhere "Sir t he Command ship is in view" He looked at his radar "In range in five minute" as the timer counted down he notes he only had ten out of thirty fighters left "Ok men aim for the power generator it will put the ship out for a while" and when they got in range of the Massively large Command ship they fired all of their nukes. Slowly the Missiles headed to words the Ship. When it made impact the entire ship began to explode "it turned out we only needed a few nukes" one of the pilot's commented "Everyone on my six we are entering hell's gate" the Squad leader ordered.
"This is the Admiral all ships fire at will" and every UNSC ship fire all the MAC guns at the same time and it made a massive amount of damage to the Remnant ships. "This is the Shipmaster i want none of their ships left in my sky" and his ships fired plasma Torpedoes at the remnant ship.
"Admiral Morgan to Echo you have a go" and the drop pods slid down there ramps and headed into the entrance of the shield world. "Dam I never thought this could be so fun!" Roberts yelled down the Mic. Jones was silent with the rest of the team. "This is squadron 778 we are entering the shield world over" cortana responded to the pilot "We read you squad leader echo is not far behind you" the pods where dropping extremely fast into the entrance with the help of the gravity pull. "Entering the atmosphere in ten seconds" cortana informed Echo.
Inside the Planet squadron 778 kept the AA guns busy while Echo Dropped onto the world. "Landing in ten seconds" Ra informed his team. Shu griped his plasma rifle ready to kill anybody when he landed. Jones cheeked his hard light shield reading. "in three, two, one" the Pods made contact with the surface.
Roberts Got out of his Pod and was amazed at the beauty, green lands and rivers, beautiful mountings just like his home back on Earth. He quickly realised his team had landed further ahead. He ran to the top of the hill with his DMR in hand and notes the pods landed right in front of the Control room Entrance. "This Is ROB3018-2378 does anybody read me over?" oddly the squad leader responded to him "this is squadron 778 and it good to know you landed safely" Roberts responded with "squadron 778 i need a Recon on the control room ASAP" he looked down his sight and notes Jones and Ra pinned down by the Pods while Chief and Shu are on the other end of the Field fighting off a wraith. He took a deep breath and got his sight on a Brute chieftain, he fired a shot at his plasma grenade to make it go off. Jones notes what happened and opened a com with Roberts "This is JON3018-2210 do you read me?" Roberts responded straight away "Jones you got around ten Grunts heading your way" Roberts herd a Longsword fly over "This is squad Leader i have around twenty nine Contact in the Aria on my scanners" Chief and Shu hijack a wraith and laid mortar fire on the brute position. Roberts went into the prone Position and provided surprising fire on the grunts.
For the next ten minute of fire fighting, the Fleet had destroyed the Remnant ships. "This is the Admiral all ships enter the shield world" the shipmaster fallowed through with his ships.
Roberts cleared the enemy out for Jones. "Thanks Rob i needed that" Jones was grateful but as he looked at Roberts's position with his Built in helmet Scope he yelled down the mic "Roberts Brute at your six" Roberts rolled to the side and looked up on the Massive Brute in front of him holding a gravity hammer. He fired a few rounds into the brute but he needed to get off the ground knowing he was about to be crushed. The brute slammed the hammer into the ground missing Roberts Slightly, Roberts Got his knife out "Come and get some you Fucker" the brute charged at him and Roberts did the same, But Roberts threw his knife into the brute shoulder and he knew that hurt the Brute when he went angrier. He jumped in the air and pushed the brute Head down so it would hit the floor. Roberts got his Pistol out and pointed it at his head "Say hi to your gods" and he pulled the trigger five times to make sure it was dead.
Chief and Shu Regrouped with Jones and Ra at the entrance and decided to proceed without Roberts knowing it would take too long for him to get down.
Roberts Radio the Eclipse with his team status. "Sir I'm thirty minute out from the entrance" he informed the Admiral "Soldier a pelican is in bound to you position with a platoon of marines, i have ordered them to pick you up and take you to the Entrance" he was Jolly happy to know he had a ride in five minute. "This is squadron 778 we are returning to the Eclipse" Roberts was looking up and so the Longswords flying off "Thanks boys and when we get back to Earth bear is on me" and they went into the direction of the Eclipse.
A pelican Arrived and he entered it with all the marines looking at him "He boy how was the drop?" one of the Marines joked to him but he did not respond. The pelican was at the Entrance within three minute and when the pelican opened it rear door all there was to great the marines was endless Body's. Roberts lead the marines into the Control room and the first room and it was filled with bodies and exploded generators and destroyed turrets, the marine Sgt ordered a fraction of his men to remain in the room. As they went into the next room they found Ra standing over a Brute with his sword in hand "Ra what happened?" Ra turned to him "This Brute thought he had the upper hand on me but I proved him wrong" his body was covered in the Brute Blood and his Blade was still activated. Ra joined Roberts and the Marines as they went further in the Control Room "Ra you guy's made a number on this place what happened?" Roberts Asked "We had help from the Monitor and his sentinels" Ra answered but nobody believed him in till they found wreckages of destroyed sentinels further in the building.
They finally reach the control room to find Jones, Chief and Shu with the monitor panicking of the control console. Roberts and Ra dashed to their aid to find the consol Destroyed and the facility powering up "What happed?" Ra asked "Jones touched the console and the prophet detonated a explosive device under the console blowing Jones away" Shu told Ra, Roberts ran to the Prophet and Fired a Shot into his head to make sure it was dead. The marines gave the order to retreat but Echo refused. Cortana sent a message to the fleet "All hands prepare of impact"
A burst of Energy left the Building and went into the centre of the facility and then a flash happened and everything went dark.
