Noble Six stands alone in this destroyed wasteland, walking through this dead valley, as there was dead marines, Spartans and Covenant around the area, some destroyed vehicles and still weapons fire happening in the far distance. After the Pillar of Autumn escaped, all Covenant ground forces began their march across the territory, targeting UNSC facilities and power plants in the region.
Kane continued his walk across the field, eventually picking up life signs in the distance, surprise to see human life signs here on the battlefield. The Covenant are on their way to that location to wipe them all out, not knowing that there is a handful of Spartans out there. These Spartans were defending the ground to stop any more Covenant troops from attacking the Pillar of Autumn, drawing their attention and are now stuck fighting for their lives as there is no way that they could escape.
The Spartans are held up in this small area for their stand against the Covenant, only five Spartan-IIIs are still alive while eight of them are lying there on the ground with some marines as well, all dead. Two Spartans was defending the right side while two was defending the left side and one more Spartan was defending the bottom side. All of them was putting up a big fight against the Covenant, making their stand as there is no way out, the only thing they can do is kill as many as they can before they fall.
On the right side, a red Spartan named Dylan was carrying a battle rifle, firing at these grunts and a jackal nearby. His partner named Tristan who was wearing a blue armour, standing near him with a Spartan laser, aiming straight into the distance towards this wraith that was getting closer to them. Tristan took care of that wraith with one shot while Dylan was reloading his battle rifle, staying where he was while Tristan turns back and takes aim with his Spartan laser towards the left side at this revenant.
A grey Spartan with an EVO helmet named Sam was crouching down next to the building, firing his DMR and notices this red beam blasted near him, blasting a revenant to bits. The other Spartan with yellow coloured armour named Miranda, standing on a platform near Sam, holding a sniper rifle and taking out elites before they get closer. She crouches down and reloads her rifle while Sam stayed where he was, continues firing his DMR at these grunts and an elite in the distance.
In the south side of the area was a blue Spartan named James was fighting alone against the Covenant on this side, armed with a dismounted machinegun he took off a turret and started spinning up, killing a handful of grunts and elites. He continued taking out a handful of Covenant infantry until eventually running out of ammo, soon to notice weapons fire from the distance, shooting at the grunts that James missed.
"We got a friendly." James contacts the other Spartans while dropping the dismounted machinegun and switches to the assault rifle.
"Another Spartan?" Miranda asks while looking towards the location on where James is located "Where the hell did he come from?"
"Who cares, we need some assistance over here." Sam said while still firing his DMR
Kane continues firing his assault rifle while running to the side, firing towards one elite nearby that was shooting back at him. He gets help from James when he also joins in on shooting the elite until it dies; both reload before they come together.
"Where the hell did you come from?" James said when looking towards Kane then looks out at the valley
"I was left behind." Kane said when looking towards the two Spartans in the distance then looks back to James
"I can't believe you got left behind."
Kane looks back out at the view "Somebody had to do it."
"Welcome to the foxhole."
"How many Spartans are here?" Kane asks
"There's six of us now." James responds while looking up at the sky, seeing two phantoms flying over their heads and close to land down nearby "There used to be a seventh one but she took a plasma hit to the chest."
"We got company on our ten!" Sam contacts the Spartans while using the scope of the DMR, seeing four spec ops of elites moving towards them
"Hey there's a golden spec on our side." Dylan said when taking aim towards the gold elite, firing his battle rifle towards it while it shoots back at him with a needle rifle
"I got him." Tristan said when charging the Spartan laser, following the elite, watching it move sideways while continue firing.
Dylan continues firing until he ran out of ammo with the battle rifle, lowering his weapon and noticing a golden general, armed with an energy sword and goes running straight towards them. Tristan saw the general on time and fired his Spartan laser at the general and not the other one, killing that general before it got too close. The golden spec ops moved away while it was still alive, retreating and letting two elites run past and started firing towards them. Tristan ditched the Spartan laser once it was out, switching to an LMG and started shooting at the elites while Dylan moves backwards, switching to two plasma weapons and shoots back at the elites.
"This is getting hard over here." Sam said when shooting down one elite spec ops
"Tell us something we don't know." Miranda said when shooting through the second elite spec ops, avoiding a few needle shots from their rifles as she continues shooting. She fired one more shot at another one but missed her target when it moved out of her sight, causing her to reload her sniper rifle "Reloading. Last mag."
Sam looks back to her and starts moving sideways while firing his rifle at the enemy, trying to draw their attention towards him. One of the elites shot Sam a few times with the needle rifle, soon to take aim towards Miranda while she was reloading. She took four shots with those hits and just when she takes aim, she took a hit straight through her visor, hitting through her helmet and reaches the other side, sending her collapsing onto the floor.
Sam looks back to Miranda, watching her fall to the ground. "Miranda is down!"
All Spartans turn their heads towards Sam and Miranda as Sam continues firing his DMR towards the elites, soon to switch to an SMG while moving to the left side, away from Miranda's body. Tristan stays where he is while Dylan moves towards Sam, supporting him as Tristan stays on the right side, continues firing at the Covenant elites that are charging towards him.
Dylan and Sam team up on eliminating the last spec ops and try to secure the left side of the area. James and Kane secure their area well but are force to move away from one another, seeing some grunts with fuel rod guns and they need to avoid them while shooting them dead. Kane stayed on the other side and continued firing with his assault rifle, reloading his weapon then looks back towards James, seeing James is all right but there would change. One zealot came around the side, getting behind James and drew out an energy sword, moving towards James to impale that sword through his back. Kane saw it and runs over while firing his assault rifle, firing only half a clip as he was out of ammo. James heard something from behind and looks back, seeing the zealot and was about to fire, only to fail as it was too late, taking an energy sword through his chest. Kane kept running towards James and the zealot, switching to a grenade launcher and fire with one hand to it, hitting the zealot in the chest and losing its shields. Kane got close enough to finish this off by tackling the zealot to the floor, stabbing the zealot in the neck with his combat knife to finish it off.
Back on the top left side, both Dylan and Sam continued to defend on their side, taking a few plasma damage from the enemy, getting Sam into cover when he lost his shields. Sam looks over and notice Kane getting off the zealot and notices James was lying there on the ground near him, killed with an energy sword. He looks back to Dylan and notice him still shooting against the elites, taking a few hits with heavy weapons from the elites, watching him still shooting while taking those hits, eventually collapsing onto the ground after he could not take it anymore.
"Dylan!" Sam got up and runs over to him while switching to the magnum and fires a few times at the elites, soon to throw a grenade out there and got them moving out of the way.
Tristan looks over and notices Dylan on the ground while Sam retreats while firing his magnum. Tristan runs towards Sam to help, force to leave the right side to the Covenant as they start to move closer towards them. Two elites came rushing through, shooting at Tristan in the back with plasma shots.
Meanwhile, Kane looks back at James as he lies there dead, quickly taking out the grenade launcher when seeing an elite running towards him, firing plasma rounds at him while he shoots back. He took a few hits to the head with those perfect shots from the elite, causing his visor to have a crack on it. He crouches down when he felt the visor cracked, quickly grabbing the SMG off the ground and shoots back at the elite, taking it down. He looks to the side and suddenly taking a few more hits, taking a few hits in the chest and falls to the ground, feeling the pressure kicking in as he cannot handle the fight for much longer. He looks up and notices Sam still holding, firing his magnum at this elite while it shoots back at him, taking double damage when another one appears behind him, shooting many times at him until he eventually collapses onto the floor. Kane looks to his right and notices Tristan taking down one elite before being overwhelm, taking many plasma hits to the chest and when he turns towards Kane, he took an energy sword through the back.
Kane looks down at the ground, remembering the fallen Spartans he saw on the battlefield, seeing so many fall in front of him and because of them all dying around him, he is now alone. He was not going to be the next one to die, instead he embrace as much as he can, survival is the only thing he can do now.
Kane makes his final stand against the Covenant, first thing he does is remove his helmet and let it fall to the ground, facing towards Kane as he gets back up and picks up James assault rifle off the ground and starts moving forward. He held onto the assault rifle and starts shooting at one elite that was coming at him, it was shooting back at him until eventually the elite collapses. A zealot came at him to the side with an energy sword, he saw it and so he hits the zealot across the face with the back end of his assault rifle, pushing it away. He reloads his assault rifle then draws out his SMG and starts shooting at the elites nearby, taking a few hits in the chest but he keeps shooting, taking two of them out and continues firing while moving backwards, shooting one more before running out of ammo. Another elite charge through in front of Kane just when he ran out of ammo, knocking him off his feet and onto the ground, trying to stab him but failed when he kicks the elite back, throwing a plasma grenade towards the elite, hitting its chest then blows up. The zealot returns to the side and lodges the energy sword down at him, seeing it on time; he rolled to the side to avoid it, drawing his knife then stabs the zealot through the neck. He grabs the energy sword, tries to get back up, quickly stabbing the sword through one more elite, stabbing it through the chest, and leaves the sword inside of the elite as it falls back on the floor.
Kane rises up off the ground while struggling to stand. He looks out at the view for a while until suddenly the helmet spins around, facing the other way and looking out towards the back view, seeing a phantom flying over the area and close of landing to drop more troops. With the helmet facing the other way, it is unknown if Kane survives or not, making this unknown for now.
