Cruiser Leviathan:
" Sir the Covenant are beginning to approach us They well be at firing range in two minutes. They seem to of deployed drop ships toward Mars." The communications officer said
" How many son?" Stanforth asked
" I'm reading one thousand. Well the forces on Mars be enough to prevent it's invasion?" The officer said
" The Covenant well have hell on Mars. There are some surprises there that await them." He said with a smile
"Once they come to firing range tell half the ships to fire one MAC salvo to test them out. Including the Super MAC cannons. I want the other half to stay around Earth and protect it. If we are destroyed I want them to fire there Nukes and to begin firing there main weapons." Stanforth said
" Yes sir sending orders now." He said
The Covenant ships began to approach Earth.
/////////////////////////
Covenant Flag ship
" Your great one the armada well be in firing range shortly. The Drop ships have been launched on to the red planet sir and are beginning there mission." The grunt said
" Good, soon the humans well be gone and the universe well be purified from there kind. Order all ships to fire once we are at range. I want them all destroyed on the first salvo." The commanding elite said with an evil grin.
The Covenant ships arrived to there firing range. The ships weapons charged so they could fire. But before they fired the UNSC struck first. A total of two hundred MAC cannons struck the Covenant seventy of those where the Super MAC cannons which Destroyed there targets on there fist shot.
" Your great one we have received heavy damage! We have lost one hundred and twenty ships on that first attack alone!" The grunt said starting to panic.
" What how is that possible how did they do that!? Order all ships to fire!" He said
The remaining two hundred and eighty ships fired there plasma weapons.
The plasma began to approach the UNSC Fleet.
By experience the commander new that it would take just one shot to destroy one of there ships.
The plasma got closer to the ships.
/////////////////////
Leviathan:
" Sir the plasma well impact in five seconds any coordinate changes?" The pilot of the ships asked
" No son it's time for the Covenant to see our new shields." He said.
//////////////////////////
Back at the Flag ship:
The Plasma impacted the ships but it did not even penetrate. The plasma was stopped by shields.
" How is this possible! Since when did the Humans develop shields!? Recharge and fire again!" He said
" Your great one I'm getting reading that the shields that they contain got stronger once the plasma hit. Are you sure you want to fire again?" A red Elite informed his commander.
This made the Commander furious. He took out his personal Plasma rifle and fired the Red Elite dead.
" Never argue against my orders!" He said to the dead Elites corpse.
" Sir another Human salvo has been fired. Impact in ten seconds. One round has targeted us. We are to close to other ships dodge it!" The grunt officer said
" Brace for impact!"
The round that hit was a Super MAC round. The round hit the flag ship destroying it's shields.
" Damage report!" The commander said
" Sir the round penetrated and damaged decks one through ten our shields are totally down. We lost one hundred more ships sir!" a blue elite said
The commanding elite thought to him self of how it was possible. The Covenant where actually losing a major battle. We have the numbers and we are losing.
" Fire again!"
The ships fired there plasma once again. This time twenty five UNSC frigates were destroyed. Those ships had the same shields as the Covenant only the larger ships where equipped with the new shields.
" we have destroyed twenty of there Frigate class ships there major ships do not seem to be damaged and there shields are still running." the grunt informed
" How is that possible!?"
" We wont last another round from there Super MAC's and we have been targeted once again." the grunt officer said
Another salvo was fired. That's when a cruiser got in front of the flag ship. Taking the hit for the flag ship and was destroyed.
A transmission from the Covenant cruiser was sent before it blew up saying " For the Gods." it read.
" Sir the explosion has take out our weapons! What shall we do!?" an Elite said
" Abandon ship. All soldiers board drop ships and land on the Red planet. I will stay here and go down with my ship. For our honor I will die for the forgiveness from our Gods. Hopefully it well be enough for them and allow them to forgive us." The commander said.
" Order all the remaining ships to fire one more time and tell them to abandon there ship. All of you do the same. We . And get off before they fire again." He ordered.
They did as told . Soon enough the last round hit the flag ship destroying it. But most of it's crew abandoned the ship. And began to descend on to Mars.

The Covenant Black OPS:
They where five strong and had direct orders to take over the Main complex and use it as an HQ. All communications from there ships where cut off. They had no idea what was happening. They saw explosions in the sky but they thought the explosion belonged to the humans ships being destroyed.
They split into two groups each two and a half thousand strong. The first group would attack the complex dead on and the second group would flank the main complex. Giving back up.
In command of the second group was Vashna a golden elite. Vashna ordered his group to move out. They had some armor support including wraiths and ghosts.
They traveled to there destination.
That's when the heard the familiar sound. The sound of a wart hogs was heard. Five wart hogs appeared jumping from a near cliff guns blazing. The hogs landed on some elites and began to change course. The Covenant followed the Hogs chasing it into some cliffs . The cliff where one hundred feet tall. Five thousand Covenant followed five measly Hogs. The hogs stopped at a dead end. Five hunter fired at them blowing them up. Vashna checked the Hogs leftovers and found no bodies but he found transmitters that seemed to control the hogs by remote control.
Then it hit him.
" It's and Ambush!" He yelled out.
On top of the cliffs fell grenades. Hundreds of grenades hit the floor. The grenades went off killing one thousand of the covenant. A lot died since they where all in a tight space.
Then the camouflage of the attackers where turned off and Fifty Spartans stood on the cliffs weapons locked and loaded. Then two hundred ODST's turned there camouflage off and appeared next to the Spartans. They where all carrying heavy weapons from the new mini guns to rocket launcher and grenade launchers. They all began to fire.
There were bullets and plasma every where the Covenant could not find a place to return fire. Some where able to take out some ODST's. They noticed that now even they where carrying shields.
In a total of five minutes two and a half thousand black op Covenant laid dead below. The UNSC suffered fifty casualties none Spartans.
The perfect ambush.
" Cortana good work driving those Hogs. You led them right into our trap." Said John
John and the other Spartans where wearing there new armors that hade been made. The new armors made them even more powerful than what they where a year ago.
The Master Chief was in charged of the ambush while Zero was in command of defending the ship yard complex. John opened a transmission toward Zero.
" This is the Master Chief. Zero all covenant in my area are dead. The ambush was a success Whats is your situation?"
" John the Covenant have began attacking we are holding them off. Get over here I don't think you want to miss the fun." Zero said.
" Understood we will flank their asses. Just leave enough for us to have fun with." John said with a smile.
" You heard the chief people lets get mobile." Cortana said to all of the ODST's and Spartans.
