Chapter 14

Break ran into the lobby of the right tower, "Everyone stay calm, but the Covenant are about to attack!" Everyone began to panic, even the marines a bit. Walker and Nathan calmed every one down. "Please, everyone, as long as you stay in here, the Covenant will not know that we are here, the Spartans and the Marines will hold them off along with myself." They settled down for now. "Please everyone follow me, I will show you to the basement as it is the safest place to be!" Nathan continued to show everyone down the safety bunker.

Break tried to calculate his odds of victory in his head, seven Spartans and a dozen or so marines, against an entire Covenant capital ship. If they didn't use the capital ships weapons, they might last long enough to think of a new plan… "Incoming already!" Break looked over and saw a small swarm of Ghosts coming. "Karol, Kyu, now!" they both hopped onto the Warthogs and fired their cannons. One by one each Ghost erupted in flames.

Break ran up the flight of stairs in the tower in a matter of minutes. He looked over the horizon with the sniper rifle, and in the distance, they were putting together a giant Shade Mortar.
