"So we finally got a weapon that will work." Yelled one crewmember.

"No we don't. Not until every last blast goes off will we know if we STALLED them." The captain replied.

It was quite on the bridge for the next twenty-five seconds.

"Sir the humans have fired missiles." one elite said to the captain.

"Let them come"

There was a terrible blinding light and in an instant the armada was destroyed. The missiles did there job but there was another problem approaching...

On the human outpost Serenity

"Sir the missiles have detonated" reported Tim, "Covenant forces have been confirmed as eliminated."

"Good, Good," The Captain thought, "we backed them into a corner but now we just need to keep them their."

"Sir I'm detecting over ten THOUSAND covenant ships inbound. No wait make that one HUNDRED thousand" but before Tim could finish the sentence, the outpost was vaporized into nothing more than a molten ball of the former outpost.

As you can see we aren't going to just win easily this time and the Covenant aren't going to just kill. They're going to slaughter, maim, destroy, and annihilate our "fleet".
