Ill skip the B.S and go to the story. At the end I got tired of writing so I kind of rushed it sorry.

Cruiser Leviathan:
" Sir The Covenant are beginning to turn around to fire on us. The MAC's are at forty percent." Ensign Peterson said.
" Let the Covenant fire on use the power from the shots to charge our MAC's it should give us enough power for two send out two shots per MAC." Stanforth said.
It seems that the Covenant did not learn about our new shielding from last battle. This would give them a nice surprise. Stanforth though to himself.
His thoughts were not to far from the truth. The Covenant knew that they lost at Earth but no info from the fleet of the new back to the Covenant. They believed that they had lost but the UNSC had suffered great losses.
The Covenant ships began to charge their plasma weapons. They fire at their intending targets.
The plasma flew at high speed to their targets, they hit the ships but the shielding on the ships absorbed them and gave the UNSC ships more power.
////////////////////////////
Covenant ship the Wakening:
" Sir the shots where stopped by shielding and not only that but now we are getting bigger power signals from there ships!" Toh said
" What do you mean? What are they doing absorbing our plasma torpedoes?" Commander Efil said.
" It seems so. If that's true our weapons are useless against them! What are we going to do?" Toh asked
" We only have one choice but to use there own weapons against them. Activate the planets MAC's. There is no honor in what we are going to use but we have no choice. Also tell half the ships to speed up and Ram them to hell! The other half protect those MAC's!" Elif said
" Yes sir." Toh said.
" By the way send a message to any of our out post telling them that the humans pose a bigger threat than they ever did. In most likely hood we wont survive this battle." Efil said
" Yes sir, we are all behind you all the way. We die in battle!"
The order was sent for the orbital MAC's to be activated and begin firing. A total of twelve MAC's where being activated.
" Sir the orbital MAC's are ready. Should we fire?" Toh said
" Fire and send those infidels to there deaths!" Efil ordered out loud
The Orbital's fired at the UNSC ships. They hit their targets. Three Frigates where hit. The rounds pierced there shields and impacted the ships them selves. The ships blew up.
//////////////// Leviathan II:
" What the hell was that!?" Stanforth asked shocked.
" Admiral the Covenant are using our orbital MAC's around Reach on us!" Lt. Durant said.
" Damn those Fucking Covenant since when did they become this desperate! We have no choice target the orbital MAC's and destroy them all. Fire when ready Peterson." Stanforth ordered
" Yes sir! MAC's are fully charged firing now." Ensign Peterson said
The Leviathan shuttered when six MAC round where fired toward the Orbital's. Two rounds for each orbital where fired from the Leviathan.
When one of the rounds were almost at it's destination a Covenant Frigate got in front of the rounds taking the hits and adverting the Orbitals Destruction. The other MAC rounds suffered same fates with Covenant ships getting in there paths.
The Orbitals fired once again taking out two smaller ships and damaging the shielding on the ten bigger ships. One of the salvos hit the Leviathan. The hit toke out a fourth of its shields. Another round was going to hit it but the Leviathan made a ninety-degree spin to avoid it. The round missed by two hundred feet.
" Sir the Covenant are using them selves to protect the Orbital's." Lt. Durant informed the Admiral.
" Damn! Tell all ships to target the Orbitals if the Covenant want to protect them so much lets let them do what they want. This time The MAC's are going down." Stanforth ordered
The other ships received there orders and fired at the Orbitals. Over a hundred shot flew in space toward their destinations. More than half of the shots where stopped by Covenant ships but their fates ended in destruction for doing so.
Seven Orbital's where destroyed.
" Sir, the Covenant have launched their Seraph fighters. Want to launch the Long swords sir?" Ensign Peterson asked
" Launch them and order the point defense turrets to cover them." Stanforth said.
Stanforth look at a clock next to him ticking down thirty seconds and Captain Luna and the other battle group should be here.

The Wakening:
" Sir we have suffered severe casualties we only have fifty ships left and our Seraphs are getting pummeled. At this point I doubt we wont last two minutes." Toh said
The gold Elite Efil just sat there trying to think.
" We have no choice we must retreat. Ill take full responsibility for this action. Order all ships to retreat." Efil ordered
" Yes sir." Toh answered
The ships began to turn to make a jump in to slip space to escape their destruction when the Wakening was hit.
The second UNSC battle group showed up blocking the Covenant from retreating.
" More human ships have appeared and we have been hit. Our shields are down." Toh said
" Toh today we die as warriors." Efil said his last words. The Ragnarok fired a two MAC rounds and dozens of Archer EMP missiles behind them. The volley struck the Wakening sending in to a ball of flames. Both groups fired one more time to finish the remaining Covenant ships.
//////////////////// Leviathan II:
" Admiral all Covenant ships have been destroyed. And the Orbital Macs have stopped firing." Lt. Durant informed Stanforth.
" Good now lets send our boys on the ground some help." Stanforth said
" Yes Sir giving orders to launch the troops for the ground war." Lt. Durant said

Back on the Ground with the Chief:
John was sitting on an ammo crate checking his weapons and cleaning his armor of Covenant blood. When Cortana interrupted.
" Chief I got good news." She said
" What is it?" John said
" Admiral Stanforth succeeded all Covenant ships have been destroyed. I could of not done better my self. The rest of the troops well be here in an hour." Cortana informed John.
" Well it's about time. I'm sick of waiting here I want to finish taking back Reach as fast as possible. Just one problem." John said
" What's that Chief?" Cortana asked.
" We need to find out how that flood spore got here. I don't want Reach becoming another Halo." John said
To be continued.
