Originating from a bloodmatch request on the subreddit 'Who would win', this is a short about CC-2224, or 'Cody', facing down a division of Covenant troops. The request was that the Republic forces be two hundred or so, fortified in Helm's Deep. (This is a popular locale for defensive matchups, even if it's a woefully inadequate position for anything outside of medieval settings). I should note the fortification within is based off of the proper Helm's Deep, which was quite large and encircled by Helm's Dike.
Arrayed against the Republic troops is several hundred Covenant, and if this sounds like it's unfair, well, it was. I didn't come up with the prompt, I just filled it. It is also written almost entirely in first person, though there are tense switches depending on recollections. If I have missed any in my editing, please let me know.
I'm happy with how it turned out, and I [may actually return to wrap it up more suitably at another point] actually returned to wrap it up. Cheers!
A thank you to George Lucas for crafting this universe, and graciously allowing us to experience it.
