Lilith
Unknown Location

"Where the heck am I now," Lilith questioned aloud as she gazed at her new surroundings.

She saw a golden sky with a large purple ship hovering above her. Along with this, she saw a large pillar of rings that rose into the sky as if it supported the sky from falling onto the ground. As she moved her gaze downward, she noticed that the streets were littered with burned out cars and bodies of civilians. Gunfire can be heard off in the distance and aircraft of some sort flying around shooting the daylights out of each other. There were signs with a green emoji sort of face with the message PLEASE EVACUATE flashing in the center of the picture. Buildings around 2-3 stories tall surrounded Lilith and had large, gaping holes in them from what she assumed was artillery fire.

Lilith looked at one of the signs and noticed a name in the corner that said New Mombasa.

"New Mombasa huh..." Lilith said to herself, "sounds like a crappy name for a city. But at least I know where I am now."

She saw her ECHO device laying on the ground not 10 feet in front of her. She walked over to it and picked it up off the ground.

"The damn thing still works huh. Well, let me see if I can catch a signal with it."

After tinkering with it for a few minutes, she was able to catch a faint but audible transmission.

"I take it back, the Navy got its butt kicked" the signal started.

"Hey Romeo, remember when I told you to shut your mouth" another voice said to answer the first

"Yea" the one apparently named Romeo answered

"Consider it a standing order" the second voice snapped.

"Wow, someone sounds angry," Lilith said as the conversation continued.

"Captain? Fifteen clicks off the deck" the second voice said.

"Stand my to adjust trajectory. On my mark." A third, but female voice, apparently the Captain replied.

Lilith suddenly heard a noise of something burning. She gazed at the sky and saw a group of bright lights. Each of them leaving a smoke trail as they fell through the sky. Off in the distance, the giant purple ship pulsed with energy.

During this, the conversation was going on and Lilith didn't really pay attention to it until the energy pulsed.

"Did the Covenant just set off a nuke?" A different voice asked with a frightened tone.

This part of the transmission was the one that completely caught Lilith's attention, more specifically at the soldier's mentioning of the Covenant.

"This Covenant faction sounds like who these people are fighting. And maybe they are very dangerous. But I could probably kick their asses ten times around the whole damn planet." Lilith said to herself, remembering how easily Hyperion fell.

She immediately looked for a place to hide. She found herself a semi-empty dumpster that had enough room for her to hide in, but probably not much else.

"No, the carrier's going to jump! It's a-" The transmission abruptly ended.

She didn't really get to finish hearing what the Captain was talking about or to make sense of it as an ear-splitting bang erupted from the giant ship. A bright flash began to swarm it's way toward Lilith. She barely had time to close the lid before the she blacked out.

So, that might have been a cheesy way to end it but it seems like the only way I can get the story to move along.

Thank you for reading and hope you enjoyed.
