"Yayap, what is our current status?" ordered Eryee the gold armored elite.

"We're working on our current situation on the 'ring planet'," responded Yayap.

Eryee grabbed Yayap close to him, and bellowed his orders again, "I want to know what our current status is for our plan against Earth!" He then released the grunt to hear the response he wanted to here.

Yayap then responded to his question while at the same time on his knees gasping for breath, "All..plan.s. are..confirmed..". "Excellent," Eryee said in a low voice.

"Now, we can destroy the humans. By landing on their home planet, without being traced by their radar with our new technology, we will form a base, and deploy our units in a such a manner that the pathetic race will be begging for mercy!" The elite said in such a sinister tone that it ran shivers down Yayap's body.

Eryee turned, "Yayap,". The grunt then stood at attention, "Sir!". "Where are we to sent our infiltration scouts?" asked Eryee. "They are to be sent to the southern pole of the planet."

"Excellent, now go and depl-," Eryee was cut off from his sentence because of Yayap, " Speaking of technology,"

"What about it?"

"The manufacturing are talking about-,"

"What!" Eryee spoke in his sinister tone again.

Yayap began to stutter, "They're talking about how it is having some difficulties,"

"Difficulties?"

"Dificulties.. functioning.. properly,"

Eryee stared at him with rage in his eyes. "How bad are these, 'difficulties'?" he asked.

"They're not that bad. It just has the tendency to sometimes turn off and odd again randomly-," Now Yayap was interrupted.

"Deploy the infiltration teams," Eryee ordered.

"Sir? What about the tech-,"

"Deploy them!" The elite shouted.

Yayap didn't bother asking any more questions and ran.

"This will work, it has to work, this is our only chance," Eryee whispered to himself.

As the Covenant infiltration teams descends to Earth, their anti-tracking system malfunctions. And are now visible on allradar systems, but they are unaware of it.

Cortana began to change color, from blue to ultramarine. "Commander, I'm picking up Covenant drop ships,". Commander Keyes turned to Cortana, "Where are they?"

"Hang on, its difficult to say," said Cortana putting her hand on her head in frustration.

"They're..they're... No, that's impossible.. Those bastards!"

"Cortana, where are they?" Keyes asked.

Cortana then turned to an olive green color, "They're on Earth!"

"How could they have got there without us tracking them!" shouted the Commander.

"I don't know, but we have to stop them quick!"

"Prepare for an assault! Code Red-Alpha!" ordered Keyes over the com.

Meanwhile, both the Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson along with several other marines readied themselves for the hell jumping. "Just like old times Chief," said Johnson as he began to set himself in.

"Don't forget to strap in," Cortana's voice said inside the Chief's head.

"Just like old times," said the Chief as he strapped himself in.

A voices then radioed in, "Over the target in five!"

"I sure can't wait to welcome those alien bastards," said Johnson.

"Four,"

"Chief," said Cortana's voice.

"Three,"

"We have to stop the Covenant from whatever they're planning,"

"Two,"

The Chief then replied, "Don't worry, our welcome wagon will teach them to mess with our planet,"

"One!"
