Chapter 11

End with a fizzle not a bang

I lit a cigarette and let the rest of the world fade into the background as I became aware of nothing but the passing terrain and the hum of the AT tires mounted on the warthog jeep. "Carsten, I have no idea what you're planning but you need to comeback!" Lilith came over the radio, pleading with me not to do what I'd already set my heart on. I was going to rid the covenant from this planet.

I quickly shoved my foot on the gas as the covenant AO came into view, I spotted a fuel tanker and decided to do it. I drove straight for it with my lit cigarette in my lips.

The first explosion rang out about twenty minutes after the Corporal sped off. Setting off a chain reaction of explosions that somehow reached the covenant battle fleet that was sitting in the atmosphere above Pandora. "CARSTEN!" Lilith yelled, trying to rush towards ground zero. A couple marines grabbed her and stopped her. Within a couple hours the remaining covenant began retreating towards their original landing zone. Getting popped off by Marines and bandits alike in the back. Within two days, the rest of the covenant were hunted down and destroyed. The victory was only possible because the fleet was destroyed. Now just a whisper in history, Corporal Carsten Michaelson of the UNSC will always be hailed as the savior of Pandora.
