1. Chapter 1

Preface:

Mombasa was once a great port city. It was a vital lifeline to Earth's forces. It sent all kinds of supplies to other colonies. When the Covenant attacked, it was a deep blow for the UNSC. A month later, the 506th Tank Regiment and the 77th Marine Regiment were given orders to reclaim the city, and secure any human resources and civilians. When they entered the city, the only remaining thing in the entire city, was a bridge connecting one half to the other. Other than that, small buildings and hotels were barely standing. Hiding in the ruble, were hundreds of thousands of Covenant diehards. Their orders were to keep the city, and whatever tactical resources it held. The battle raged on for a grueling seven days. This is the story of one Marine. This is the story of The Second Battle of Mombasa.
