Author Note: For those who have been waiting for an update on the story, sorry for the wait. I just got through the hardest part of my senior year and now I'll have a little more time to write the fic. But there will still be delays until I graduate. Anywho, for those who still read thanks for reading and enjoy the fic.
December 8, 2554 12:10 hours (military calendar) Mangius system: Above Mangius IV Aboard UNSC Flagship Morning Sun
In the space around Mangius IV was much like the battleground planet- side. There were ten Covenant cruisers and fifteen Protoss. They were trading fire with the UNSC forces, which consisted of the Morning Sun, four destroyers, and one carrier, with the UED forces, which had the Hyperioron with ten other UED cruisers.
One of the Mourning Sun's bridge officers stated, "Admiral Wesley the dropships are away and so far their not being touched by the Covenant or Protoss forces."
There was a feint smile on Wesley's face. He was glad Jenova, the ship's AI, had been correct. He wasn't surprised that it was because it was a near direct copy of the now infamous 'smart' AI Cortana. The difference between the two is that Jenova took the form of a beautiful angel. She was wearing a Greek toga and her white wings were touching the bottom of the holo panel she was 'standing' on. Wesley chuckled, "I don't even know why I doubted you Jenova. It seems that I'm getting a little rusty."
Jenova smirked "Don't worry about it Admiral. We all make mistakes sometimes." She looked sideways occupied by something else. "Admiral, three Covenant ships coming out of Slipstream space their patterns matches that of Destroyers."
Wesley was not surprised at all, "Lt. Sonoto unlock Archer missile pods A1 through H9 and prep the MAC cannons for firing," the Morning Sun's MAC gun was able to fire two salvos for each gun and the ship was armed with three guns. "I want a firing solution for the Archer missiles to hit each ship after the MAC's second salvo hits the Covenant shields."
"Aye, aye sir." Lt. Sonoto responded as he calculated the firing solution and fed it to Jenova to make slight adjustments. "Firing solution ready to fire sir."
"Fire on my mark..." Wesley waited for the covenant ships to appear from Slipstream and use the few seconds when they were powered down afterwards to fire. "Mark!'
The Mourning Sun shuddered as the three MAC cannons fired off their salvos and the Archer missiles fired. The first of rounds hit the Covenants shields, which shimmered from the impact. The second rounds hit the shields which depleted the rest of the shields. The Archer missiles came and hit the ships, when they detonated they burst into plumes of fire that rattled the Covenant cruisers. Two of the targets were dead and floating in space after the attack the other exploded sending shrapnel into the other two cruisers.
"Well that's good the four Covenant destroyers are nearly gone ... make that they are thanks to Capt. Sakura's ship." Jenova commented.

December 8, 255 13:10 hours (military calendar) Mangius system: Above Mangius IV Aboard USD Flagship Hyperioron
The newly appointed General Edmond Duke was sitting in his comfy command chair in the bridge of his ship. The ship had been previously owned by emperor Mensk. Duke's old ship the Norad II was destroyed in a skirmish against the Protoss at his own Terran base. The base was inhabited by James Raynor and his rogue men, Duke was helping him. He was guarding his territory near Raynor but a Protoss regiment came across him and he lost the fight.
"This reminds me of old times, Robert what to you think?" asked Duke.
Capt. Robert Sakura turned to his commanding officer and replied, "If you mean by the old battles with the Protoss, sir, yes I know what you mean. But the Covenant is something else. We're going to need to make up new strategies if they don't already know how to counter everything." Sakura turned to the view screen watching some of his fighters die but taking a few enemies with them. The unfortunate part was that the supply of enemies was relentless and non-stopping.
A lieutenant called for the Generals attention. "Sir, Admiral Wesley requests that our fleets join into one fighting force to wipe out the rest of the enemy forces."
"Captain Sakura, you make the call."
"So be it, tell the Admiral that we will be there as soon as we finish up here." He sighed and turned to Duke. "We'll show them who has the stronger fleet. Without putting the entire force in danger though."
