Halo/Star Wars crossover
Chapter 4
Debris
of thousands of ships floated through earths orbit covenant, human,
republic CIS all of them were taking a beating.
"Broadside
that destroyer" Commander Echo yelled. The Liberator's torpedos
were spent and it'd take all the cannons they had to rip apart the
CIS destroyer.
The cannons blazed at their opposition the CIS
returned fire.
"Focus all ION cannons on their bridge when the
shiled is down knock it out of commission". Like Flame, Echo was
one of the First clone commanders an excellent tactician. The ION
cannons fired salvo after salvo. The destroyers shields flared and
dropped the exposed bridge was pounded by fire and the spiralling
destroyer hit two covenant frigates and a UNSC Carrier the Nostalgia
and plummeted into earths gravity well. "Commander were being
flanked", said a tech officer. "two covenant flagships executed a
pinpoint jump near the fourth planet of this system and are about to
fire on our engines". The two covenant ships would succeed unless
theyw ere disabled. "Keep moving throughout the battle Draw their
fire into their own ships and send all available fighters to disable
them". This is going to work towards the republics advantage
thought Echo The covenant was extremely aggressive not caring
about the number of ships in their battered fleet. They didn't
stand a chance.
The flagships fired and two Banking clan comms
ships were gutted from one end to the other That's not going to
make grievous very happy. The Silent Dagger Stopped firing on the
already disabled Conqueror and destroyed one of the covenant
flagships.
yep he's really pissed. Then it turned back to
the crippled republic flagship and continued to punish it. "Republic
fighters away they'll be there in 15 minutes".
"Good now
focus all firepower on the frigates".
"John we need
to get out of here ASAP" said Kelly , she was all for fighting the
covenant but a few thousand battle droids that's suicidal.
"AT-TE column open fire on the school", ordered John, "Spartans,
Commandos" Move through the woodland. Mendez's words rang through
his head "It is acceptable to spend their lives if necessary, it is
not acceptable to waste those lives".
The AT-TEs pounded away at
the school killing whatever was inside and were soon destroyed
themselves by wraith mortar tanks.
"Command were going to need
some more armour", requested John, "Set them down a klick NNE
from here"
"Move out commandos!" ordered 38 were going
through the shrub.
, "Remind you of anything Scorch?"
62
shuddered as his memory played over Felucia the most horrid battle
the Grand armies of the Republic ever saw.
"LETS GO DOUBLE
TIME!"
the field was just ahead the City centre another klick
beyond that.
The Conqueror's reactor took a direct
hit and burst into flames the ship started breaking apart "Move
away from the Conqueror" Echo commanded. Like so many battleships
in the past it split in half and the rear went into a deadly spin
crushing most of the CIS frigates and destroyers the front plummeted
towards Earth. "Get the SPARTANS AND COMMANDOS OUT OF THERE SHES
GOING TO CRASH INTO THEIR LOCATION!" Echo ordered desperately. Hed
be damned if he was going to loose the best soldiers in their
military in one blast. "Get hood".
"This is Admiral Hood
whats going on "Sir get any dropships you have to dust off Task
force Alpha and get them the hell out of the way the conqueror Is
going to impact with the planet in 5 minutes."
"we can get
them away in 3".
"Cutting it close"
the conquerors
hull crushed any ships underneath it including most of the carriers
about to land in Sydney. But the battle was far from over just a
third of the republic fleet remained while most of the UNSC still
held together focussing every MAC gun they had to bring down CIS
destroyers and using the mark 5 super macs to tear the covenant ships
to shreds.
"Has the planet been evacuated the best it can?"
"Yes commander approximately 89 are on the acllamators and are
regrouping on the far side of the planet"
"Excellent work,
get me lord hood again"
"UNSC fleet you pop em we drop em"
"Hardy fucking ha sir we need you to set the largest nukes you
have all in one place and rig them to blow in 10 minutes also here is
the coordinates for your fleet to jump to"
"Affirmative"
"Oh my god, John look!" yelled Linda as she pointed out of the
cockpit .
The flaming wreckage of the Conqueror plummeted towards
the planet passing only kilometres from the pelicans evacuating the
planet. The pride of the Republic fleet, their most treasured cruiser
in ruins. It made every clone who saw it cry and every Spartan gasp
with looks of horror on their faces.
it was a silent ride to the
UNSC destroyer Freedom.
So this
is the end of the world thought hood "All ships prepare to jump
on my mark were leaving".
"That goes for us too all republic
ships move out of this sector now!" tens of thousands of ships
engines flared most got away other unfortunate ones were disabled or
were caught in the explosion that followed when the Nukes detonated.
"A tremendous victory for our new alliance wouldn't you say
Truth?" .
"No General our fleet is destroyed and the Ark with
it. We need to leave theres nothing left for us here but dust and
echoes."
The Valiant Crusader left the Sol system. The covenant
and CIS may have been victorious but it was a crushing blow to the
morale of the covenant.
