A black active screen popped out in front of you, and opened a map of the city near the shores where Roach and the SLSs were. Gadfly dropships and other military vehicle units advance from the eastern city all along towards the capital city of the full Monarch Kingdom. It took almost five days of operation to secure every enemy position before a chance to reach the capital.
Captain Soap MacTavish: Everything is going well; time to move on.
He then opened the images, preparing to present the Monarch's great centuries before the Trade Empire's control.
Captain Soap: Long history about the Monarch. All started back 10,000 years ago after humans were born on Waelth'e...They're all Caucasian background, despite the tropical environment.
During the discovery of gold minerals, Monarchs used them to create anything they could; palaces, tools, treasury...They quickly expand their empire across the planet, defeating every native race in their path.
110 years later, the Forerunner's Stargate was revealed. The Monarchs explore every planet and civilizations while immigrants came to their planet. They were surprised when they met other humans from Earth, mostly from Europe and the Middle East. That's how English got to them, despite some changes made.
After 230 years, the Monarch Kingdom began to expand again across different planets with their own made ship vessels. They dominated every planet they explored, all under control of the royal family of the Monarch; the natives, they were discriminated.
Then, things didn't go well. The whole Monarch royal family had many conflicts between each other, sparked by internal rumours and kingdom takeover. They were later been separated from one and another, leading a dissolution of the Monarch Kingdom.
Few years before today, the Trade Empire showed up; taking over all of Monarch's colonies and then their capital. The Monarchs were used as force labour, under Trade and their stakeholder's control.
The images were dissolved, marking the end of the presentation. Next, the map screen zoomed into 3-D view towards the land and air EU units fighting for the capital city of Capitol.
Captain Soap: Now, we're going to bring back the whole Monarch to bring down the Trade Empire. Once the Trade Empire was finish, the Chimera will stand alone.
The Capitol
Day (-7) – 5:03:15
The Capitol city, Waelth'e (Hal System)
Sergeant Gary Roach Sanderson
Enforcer Corp's 23rd Special Land Service (Beta Knights)
Roach, with his E2000 assault rifle, Captain Soap, and his other four men were now at the end of a road sometime near dusk, a bit darker than normal with burning buildings and plasma fire lighten the sky. Most of the buildings were close-demolished by air-strikes or tank fire. The road was sprinkled with craps of building stones.
General Stephen Cartwright (O.S.): Roger on location. Repeating: Map Grid 52761-niner, over.
Captain Soap, with E2000 AIAC, w/ Holographic sight and grenade launcher:Beta Knight copies, over.
General Stephen (O.S.): Beta Knight, we have a Panther dead in the water. Call sign "Dragon-Wolf"; Captain Soap, your unit is shotgun, over.
Captain Soap: Copy. Beta is inbound. Tell "Dragon-Wolf" to stand by. We're on our way. Out.
Roach and the Beta Knights' ears catch some sonic echoes, and they looked up at the PGH-6 Cheetah gunships flying over their helmets.
Captain Soap: The Atlantis Team and Alpha Company's tank is stuck few a click north of here. We gotta hustle! Let's go!
Sergeant Ghost, with KP12 PDW, w/ Red Dot Sight and Spartan Laser Rifle: Move! Move! Move!
And again, they wore naval ballistic vest, but Roach featured himself with his long-range, wide-area, non-lethal taser weapon which is attached to an anti-plasma/ ballistic shield. He also has an access to a millimetre-wave Active Denial System.
This device won't kill its targets, but works well as a suppression device. Plus, if the situation calls for it, any enemy forces disabled by the taser, or ADS, can be taken out with lethal force.
The Enforcer's SLS Beta Knights levelled their weapons, aiming at every building that enemy forces might popped out.
Roach: Clear! Keep moving up!
Before they continue their advance, lines of charge bolts shot from nowhere.
Roach: Ambush! One o'clock!
Everyone got behind the building stone craps. They're sitting ducks from Chimera's unmanned Hellfire Turrets that just popped out from nowhere. Ghost was kneeling beside Roach; his Spartan Laser gave a hint to Roach's tactic.
Roach: Hey! I'll cover you to take down those turrets.
Ghost nodded and took out his Spartan Laser from his back, leaving his KP12 on his belt.
Ghost: You bet! Let's do this.
Roach kneel down and raised his shield while Ghost positioned himself behind Roach's back. Counting to three, Ghost and Roach move out from the blocked stone. Roach tightened his muscle and hand, holding his shield against the Hellfire turrets attack.
With Ghost being covered, he fired his Spartan Laser at one of the Hellfire turrets. Four seconds of cooling and charging, he fired again at another turret on the top left. He could count three out of five of them left inside the front crumbled apartment building. Roach felt little multiple impacts on his shield, so he advances as Ghost fire his Spartan Laser again to the turret from the middle opening wall.
Captain Soap: Everyone move!
The Beta Knights run to Ghost and Roach, with two Hellfire turrets left. Roach pushed his leg to maximum speed once no felt no resistances on his shield. Ghost followed his back, and both of them end up a side entrance that building.
Captain Soap: Knights! Switch to night vision now!
The knights turned on their night vision with a force on their side button. Their eye-plates turned their normal eye view into green light, shining the dark shadows. Roach wrap his hand around the handle of his E2000 assault rifle, and proceed in with Ghost.
There was an opening wall that was smacked by unknown impact. The Beta Knights fired at will at the incoming LOKI droids, known as LOKI droids, inside the building at the far front. Lines red laser beamed from Beta Knights' rifles, perfect to aim and shoot down the droids.
After Roach had few types of ammunition left, he grabbed the trigger of his grenade launcher and squeeze to fire it. Chimeran Hybrids were there also, getting pinned down by Soap and Ghost while trying to aid the droids.
More laser lines were pointed from the west side of the battlefield; the EU forces showed up. Roach reload his magazine, while Rankin fired his FMS HG2 battle rifle. The battlefield had become less tight, until a rain of charge bolts come down from the Hellfire turrets. Captain Soap ran out with Roach and his teammates tailgating him. He guided them the right side entrance, and stopped to turn to his team.
EU solider (O.S.): We got turrets from the second floor!
Captain Soap: Rankin, Roach and Ghost head upstairs. We'll cover this entrance. Go!
Ghost went inside, and Roach and Rankin followed him. Roach saw Ghost walked up the stairs, and almost collided against a Chimeran Hybrid. Ghost melee the Hybrid with his combat knife, stabbed through the Hybrid's stomach and pushed down.
Making their way up the second floor, Ghost found the entrance, but several LOKI droids and two Brute majors blocked their way. Roach ran to Ghost and joined the fight, throwing a frag-grenade and shield himself from enemy fire. The grenade exploded; weaken the Brute's energy shield.
Ghost groaned as he got a single hit from a Brute's Spiker carbine. Roach covered him with his shield; he hit the trigger of the shield's handle and its ADS fired thick blue beam strike on the two Brutes. It first depleted their shields and then got parlayed. Rankin showed in time and took the Brutes out.
Roach: You're alright Ghost.
Ghost: I'm hurt, but I can still stand. Just keep moving.
Roach continued arming his shield and wielding his reloaded E2000 with his right hand. He got Rankin behind, shooting his battle rifle in every LOKI droids' monitor heads.
Two flash-light heads appeared, known as the Geths. Roach fired his ballistic shield's blue laser, and the laser cross two Geth fighters. The Geths were disabled and shut down before Rankin finished them off.
Roach: Get the turrets offline.
They found huge egg-shaped unmanned turrets firing down. They found each of the turret's switches, and they flick the switch off. The Hellfire turrets stopped.
General Stephen (O.S.): Be advised, more enemy troops are converging on the tank. Get there A.S.A.P!
Captain Soap (O.S.): Roger that! We're working on it - out!
Slide walking could be heard behind Roach's ears, and he turned around. Ghost, with his hand covering his wound, twisted his body and tilt his head, telling them to grab his Spartan Laser.
Ghost: You guys go ahead and take my Spartan Laser; I'll catch you guys later.
Rankin: (taking the Spartan Laser from Ghost) Hope you're still alive. Roach, lead the way.
Roach nodded to him, and both of them head back to the ground floor. They made their way out as the fight continues between the EU and the Trade Empire army. They later joined up with Soap, Gaz, and Harris, fighting the twin Chimeran Ravagers with their Force Barrier activated.
Captain Soap: Need help here men!
With the distraction of Soap and Roach, Rankin fired Ghost's Spartan Laser with a flash of red beam, and moved the laser to cut through the Ravagers. The barriers were destroyed and the Ravagers were killed in split seconds.
Rankin: Take that sucka!
Captain Soap: Knights! The tank's on the other side of that overpass! Come on - let's get back to the squad!
The Beta Knights made their way through the slums underneath an overpass road bridge, and had reached the stranded Panther 1A3 main battle tank. Its main rail gun is of German design; its targeting system is French; its power plant is Austrian; its gearbox is Italian; its body tank design is Israeli. Its high-speed automatic loading system made Panther A13 one of the fastest –firing tanks in the United Nations.
Sergeant Gordon and his Atlantis Expedition Team were near the Panther 1A3, while the EU forces aid them from overwhelming attacks.
Captain Soap: Atlantis, what's your status, over?
Sergeant Gordon (O.S.): We're still surrounded Sir! There's just the four of us left but the tank's still OK, over.
Captain Soap: We're here right now; keep fighting!
The Beta Knight finally ganged up with the Atlantis Expedition Team and the tank. Bunches of Chimerans, Brutes, and LOKI droids charged from the east and the south of the Panther tank.
Captain Soap: Contacts to the east and more flanking to the south! Hold the perimeter!
Everyone around the tank opened fire their rounds of bullets. Captain Soap threw a Chimeran Hedgehog grenade on to the group of Chimeran Hybrids. The grenade extended its size, releasing long sharp needles around it. It ignited by launching all its needles and sprayed on the Hybrids.
As groups of enemies got closer and closer, Roach continued using his ADS ballistic shield non-lethal beaming attack on the Brute in order to disable their shields and their body. Few paralyzed Brutes were later been slaughtered by Panther 1A3's coaxial system.
Captain Soap (O.S.): They're movin' in with det-packs! Don't let 'em get close to the tank!
Gaz, with his FMS battle rifle and its Masterkey shotgun, saw several LOKI droids and a single Geth carrying their charge devices towards the Panther tank. He charged and tossed his frag-grenade into the middle. The grenade explosion, destroying the LOKI droids, but the Geth survived. Gaz ran to the Geth soldier with his Masterkey shotgun and fired its spraying of shell through its hull body.
Gaz: Take that light face!
The Geth went down and its light zapped off.
General Stephen (O.S.): Beta Knights, be advised. Two tangos have assembled to the west of your position, over.
Captain Soap: Two of them?
Coming from the west, two large-sized bone-structure mechas appeared. They're similar as the LOKI droids, with their featured right arm mass-accelerator cannon, and left arm rocket launcher.
Atlantis Sergeant Gordon (O.S.): Incoming! YMIR droids inbound!
Rankin armed his Spartan Laser and fired at them. When the line of laser impacted one of the YMIR droids however, it was bounded off on its heavy shield barrier.
Rankin: Darn, they have shields.
Everyone hates shield enemies, especially they don't have one either. The Beta Knights and the Atlantis Team concentrate their grenade launchers on the YMIR droids. One of the YMIRs fired its rocket launcher, but the Panther 1A3 moved just in time.
The Panther's turret target on the fast moving YMIR droid, and once locked down, it fired its rail accelerating bullet on the YMIR. The YMIR's shield vanished and then got blown into pieces of robotic bones.
Harris, with E2000, w/Thermal Sight and grenade launcher: Yes! Now the last one!
Corporal Rankin, carelessly firing his Spartan Laser, got caught by the YMIR's mass-accelerating cannon as plasma energy burned both his armour and skin. His painful death made he cried and collapsed him down.
Roach: Rankin!
Roach ran to the fallen solider, but the YMIR jumped in front of him, crush the Spartan Laser. The YMIR marched towards him, forcing him to flee but couldn't. He's gonna take a stand and raised his shield to unleash his ADS's blue rod of lighting.
Before the YMIR droid give Roach a massive smacked like a baseball, Roach fired his shield laser and its non-lethal energy, without question, unbelievably drain its energy shield before going off-line. The giant droid fall backward into the dark soil.
Roach: I...I did it.
Captain Soap: Command, the first wave is down.
