BOOM!

Good old shotgun

Chapter 10- The beginning of the end

The covenant cruiser pounded at the Final frontier, making it glow in a silver sheen. Fighters flew across to greet each other in a hail of plasma and shells. Ship after ship was torn up by the constant stream of MAC rounds, while plasma torpedoes slammed into the UNSC Frigates, vaporising them in a shower of purple sparks.

The bridge was unusually quiet, all silent apart from the odd murmur and the constant rocking that was the Hull. Major Kennedy walked in along with the remains of his squad. "You wanted to see me sir?" He asked.

"Yes." Wilson replied "As you know the covenant have resumed their attack on us, this time the force is twice as large, we believe that this invasion is controlled by a ship far behind the front line" He walked towards the Holographic screen, which zoomed in to a gigantic ship, almost as big as the final frontier. "We want you to infiltrate this helluva giant, and destroy it from within. If we are correct, the covenant will retreat. And since they want humanity destroyed so badly they've probably sent someone important to watch the spectacle. The target will also have to be captured or eliminated" Wilson walked back up to Kennedy "this will be the biggest damn freaking operation you will ever do in your whole life, This could mean life and death to humanity. Are you ready for it son?"

Kennedy looked hesitant for a few seconds. silence filled the room

"Well?" Wilson asked?"

"Yes sir." Kennedy finally said reluctantly "Just tell me my crew and we'll go."

Wilson smiled "They're right behind you."

Kennedy looked back, my squad then, he thought, nice.

"The escorts will be waiting for you at Launch deck.1"

"Yes sir." He said then turned back "Alright marines, go, go, go!"

"YES SIR!!"

Launch deck 1

"So you're the escorts then" Kennedy said to the XF pilots "We'll be going in half an hour."

The launch deck rocked violently for a few seconds then went back to normal.

"That was a plasma torpedo" One of the pilots said "Don't worry."

"You forgot 'sir' airman." Kennedy said, then walked off

Kennedy arrived at the nearby armoury and saw the squad fully prepared, Jericho with a LMG and Evans with a couple of charges that he saw were HAVOC tac-nukes. The rest were equipped with a variety of weapons.

"You didn't leave anything for the squad leader then, shame" He joked and picked up a battle rifle with five clips, also a satchel charge and holstered a pistol into his belt pocket. "Right, let go marines!"

Echo 743- Light-sabre

15 minutes till boarding.

"This is light-sabre, is everybody strapped in, cause we're going in for a bumpy ride!"

The pelican lifted off and blasted off towards the target ship, which was a block in the distance, the XF pilots flew behind them, keeping a close guard, the marines looked out of the window and saw a massive dog-fight, a dozen Seraphs rushed in to greet the XF pilots and are being tore up by the fighter's beam cannons. Two more flew in and let loose their plasma cannon, damaging a XF and scraped the hull of the pelican.

"Hang on!" The pelican pilot shouted and dodged three seraphs, the rotary mini-gun firing streams of APFSDS rounds into the trio. A massive covenant cruiser swerved round, barely missing the Pelican and it's crew. Of the four XF escorts, two were away in a dogfight while one crashed into the cruiser's hull, instantly vaporising it and the pilot.

"We've arrived at the destination, please unfasten your seat-belts and give the covenant bastards a nice warm welcome!"

The Pelican crashed into the launch deck, missing the wall by centimetres, it let loose it's mini-gun into the dazed covenant, killing a dozen grunts and five elites and a bunch of jackals, along with a hunter made very angry. The Pelican door opened, some marines threw petrol bombs at the covies, setting them alight. Kennedy unloaded a whole clip into a group of unsuspecting hunter's back.

"That was the easy part" Kennedy told the crew as he reloaded his rifle and attached a silencer, the others followed suit. "Now the real Task Begins."

Kennedy and the squad crept across the ship's silent corridors, all seemed to go well, their objective is to get to the bridge and secure that area until

"Hey Kennedy" Jericho whispered "the bridge is just up ahead. Come on."

"This is too easy"kennedy muttered, his hand tighten on the grip of his rifle, something was not right

"Come on, there's no covenant about, let's go area-"He stopped when he saw a cyan blade flash out, then five more, and the elite battle cry was heard.

"Stealth Elites!" Someone shouted

"You know Jericho" Kennedy said as he aimed at the glowing swords "You had to open your mouth this soon"

Then he opened fired.
