1 year since Colonial's Arived

Sargent Johnson looked over to the memeorial to the fallen, after all he had been throughHarvest , Reach, Halo, Mombassa, Delta Halo, Vio, and the Ark, he couldn't blame them. 27 Years of kill or be killed, 27 years just wishing the nighmares would stop. He looked at the pictures of the fallen, Keyes, his daughter, and many others. He just had one more addition, Private Leeroy Jenkins the one who reorded the Flood and a man who would eventually give Earth the data needed to defeat the Flood. Earth owed this man as much as all the others, Polaski, Locklear. We put his dog tag and picture next to the others than, the sirens sounded and the Sarge jumped to his feet. He ran to his Warthog parked nearby. He than heard a screaching sound very simalir to a Banshee. But it wasn't it was a bat like fighter with a head on it. It had a Red moving sensor on it and it passed by and than dissapeared in a flash. He was lucky to have a mounted a camera on his helmet as it recorded the whole thing. Than the speakers sounded.

"INCOMING OBJECTS SENSOR SHOW THEM AS..." than the speaker eventually continued. "CYLON RIADERS! WE ARE UNDER CYLON ATTACK!"

The third Cylon war has begun.

Before he could think again antoher raider starfed his Warthog than Jumped away.

The warthhog exploded as he was now showered by sharop metal, glass, and fire. He than knew no more.

Orbit Around Earth, Battlestar New York.

2nd of the 5 Great Battlestars

(With Galactica as the first)

Captain Ramius rushed onto the bridge of her Battlestar, just as she buttoned the last of her uniform. When she finished she yelled to his temporary Comm officer Jacobs Sunderland.

"Status!"

"Sir, enemy contacts we're reported in all UNSC locations." He looked back at his screen as new data came in. " And that they all, jumped away sir. HIGH COMM things it's scouts."

Jacobs had a bit of taking things too far or just suggesting on what he thinks as of his being a veteran of the Human-covenant war, a war they won, barely.

"Looks like this Cylon War the Colonials we're talking about is gonna begin soon. all hands to Battlestations. Where the hell is our new comms officer?"

The elavator door opened and a man who was in his late 20 proceeded onto the bridge and approached Captain Ramius. He saluted than said

"Lt. Felix Gaeta reporting for duty sir!"

Ramius turned around to find him she was surprised to find her new Comm offcier as a Colonial one.

"Welcome, but we don't have any time now. Man your post. "

"sir." he replied as Jacobs got off the COMm stations and proceeded to the Combat and Tactical Viewer.

As Geata took his seat he isntantly reconfigured his desktop to his own liking.

" Kinda impresive for a colonial. I didn't know Adama was assigning his own officers to serve on the other Battlestars."

"and a little too cute for one too" Ramius muttered.

Jacobs shot her an eye looking incredulous on what she just murmered.

"Sir?"

"Never mind, man your post, Commander."

"Alright Harverson take us out load all our guns Lt Gaeta."

"Aye, Sir" Lt Yohanson Harverson his older borhter served within ONI but ONI never told him his borthers fate all he knew that his brother was killed.

Gaeta just commenced typing orders to the the guns crews his speed was fats half the speed for an AI.

The New York began to move from it's staiton keeping as well as it's siter Battlestars the Earth Version of the Battlestars we're similar looking to Galactica only more sleek and more guns on it. It came with 120 Longswords Plus 100 Viper Mk II should the Longswords fail. Followed by the smaller UNSc ships and her medium sized Cruisers the fleet moved to it's repsected positions to gaurd it's self against possible incoming.

Ramius flet tension building up as she awaited for the Radar Contact to appear on her Radar Screen.

1 Minutes came by than 2 and 3...

Than she got a stauts report : Contacts reported at the edge of Sol, 10 Massive ones followe by hundreds of smaller ones, expected to be fighters. Stand by.

"Launch fighters but hold the Vipers back we might need them."

Than the fluid transfigured Ascendent of Truth or what the crew called him G man since all he wore was a suit (Jeez ONI was running outta names these days).

"Sir i got a message from Admiral Adama aboard Galactica he is ordering all ships to jump near Neptune to block the Cylons Advance. I also note that the Clarion spy Drones detect at least 20 not 10 of what Adama calls "Cylon Baseships" they must had doubled at the time he also arranged that are Computeres remained not linked in this battle."

"I got it G. Unlinking Computer networks now." Jacobs said as he uploaded the program. "However with this down our ship won't move as much as we expected." he continued.

G than appeared on the Holotank again.

Than he dug into his poclet and put a timer on the screen.

4:00 to Jump.

Good.

"Gaeta signal all hands to prepare for alot of Hits"

"all hands, All hands prepare for Attack."

The timer went down...

Jump.

The ship rumbled for a spilt second than a blinding flash came and reemerged at Neptune. Ramius was impressed, New York, Atlantia, Cerebus, Orient where the first UNSC ships to intersystem jump. The rest we're moving via engines they would be there in 1 hour. A saying Captain keyes once said "1 hour is as much as 1 month, this battle will be over in minutes."

She was Right. As soon as the jump was complete 10 Baseships we're there waitng for them.

"Crap, Evasive-" Too Late a missile struck there starboard quarter.

Jacobs immedietly took the Ship Radio and Transmitted to his Pilots.

"Launch fighters! I don't care what they are LAUNCH THEM!"

The Baseships began to Launch wave after wave of Missiles and Cylon Fighters. All the Other Battlestars began to fire there top Guns in an effort to keep the Missiles at bay. The Fighters would protect it's underside and engines.

Harverson called out " sir Nuclear detonations along the Atlantia and us sir! We lost Turrents 1 through 4 on Battery Alpha. Beta and Sigma Battery report damage.!"

"Damn it! Where are my fighters?!" Ramius yelled

"They are Launching right now ground crews are reporting heavy damage to the sligshots!"

She looked at her Radar to find alot more contacts from the Far side of Neptune they we're UNSc corvettes they we'e in a line formation, ready to Fire there MAC Guns.

Battlestar New York

Launch Bay

Longsword fighter N56712B

"Alright Guys get ready to Launch! All wings report in!" said Benson "Shocker" Ligmanson

"Red 2 Standing by"

"Red 4 Standing By"

"Red 3 Standing BY"

"Red 5 Standing By"

Shocker nodded in approval and soon his operator called

"Your clear Red 1 becareful out there."

" I always am. LAUNCH!"

His Long sword sped out of the Launch bay; into a hail of fire and lead.

The instant his Ship fully cleared his ship was already pelted with debris swearing and curisng he barely missed of what remained of what appeared to be a batlike fighter than he found hundreds of them.

His comm was full of cries for help.

"THIS IS RED OCTOBER NEED SOME HELP I GOT 5 ON MY TAIL!"

"JOLLY MOVE RIGHT I'LL HIT HIM ON THE- DAMN BASTARD JUST-"

"CAPTAIN RAMIUS YOU HAVE ORDERS TO LAUNCH NUCLEAR WEAPONS REPEAT USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS IS AUTHORIZ-"

"SHOCKER I GOT 1 ON MY TAIL GET HIM OFF ME!" That was Red 2! He instantly broke off his pursuit of a raider to help his friend.

"Got him! got him!" Shocker yelled but to no avail he shot the raider down but Red 2 was hit in his cockpit. there was no awnser on his comm.

He applied juice and zoomed past his comrade all he saw in the Cockpit was red blood.

Damn move! He than got a message that was able to get through the heavy comm traffic.

"UNSC CORVETTES OPENING FIRE GET OUTTA THAT DAMN WAY!"

He moved and jinked hard and fast as a bright yellow stream of light came past him.

The Volley hit the enemy ships only to just have small holes in them as they resumed ther initial onslaught however 2 Baseships moved away from the Battlezone, to engage the arrivng UNSC Fleet. Shocker had enough seconds to see at least 30 Ships Arrivng 10 Corvettes, 12 Destoyers, and 9 Frigates they fired wildly at the Baseships as the damage eventually increased, and caused the ship to explode the other turned back and began to move away.

However the other enemy ships did not but there attack lessened.

He shot down another one of these raiders. It tried to do a kamakazie attack on New Yorks Right flight pod. (Authors Note: Heee look familiar from the original series?)

But as soon as he rejoiced as a revenge kill for Red 2 he was hit at his tail he began to drift yelling over his COMM other voices we're also calling for help but it seemed so hopeless than a voive was able to get through the endless spam-athon

"ALRIGHT BOYS THIS IS STARBUCK! VIPERS LETS BLAIZE A TRAIL!"

An agiled pointed fighter with 2 snakk wings and a small tail zipped by.. than ... and 5... and 20, soon a raptor came on top of him and broke through the spam to get a small message: "Shocker? This is Athena stand by to eject we're gonna retrieve you."

He replied roger before he saw a baseship explode except bullets didn't hit it, Plasma did.

A Covenant Supercarrier appeared behind the Baseships and began firing plasma cannons and torpedoes.

The Baseships began to run for cover and also began to fire nukes at the Covenant ship too.

Except it wasn't Covenant his Radar registered it as Shanheli so the elite came to our rescue huh?

Kinda ironic to find an enemy that was your enemy now became your friend.

and they we're gonna friends more than they ever know.
