Darkness. Everything was covered in darkness. The only light came from the massive explosions outside. The Covenant came out of nowhere. And it seemed like they brought hell with them to this empty part of space. The darkness was interrupted by a small humming sound. As it grew louder giant mechanical wheels started to turn. As the door into hell opened a lone Longsword fighter stared at the massive explosions in space.
Tony Ramirez never thought he would be in one of the biggest dogfights in history. He knew he was going to die in this battle but when? He knew he was expendable. They would just send someone in to take his place. Tony tried to shut the grim thoughts out of his head. The humming was replaced by explosions and the sound of typing. Tony activated the Longsword and checked the weappon status. "Everything looks ok." Tony thought to himself. Tony could then see a bright blue laser streaking through the sky. He thought it looked beautiful untill it hit the frigate God Killer head on.
God Killer then tipped to the side throwing the Longsword out of the hanger with Tony inside. Tony was trying to resist the urge to faint. "I didn't die on Raech and I sure as hell ain't gonna die here!" Time then seemed to slow down as Tony tried to turn the Longsword on. From that point on Tony's instincts took control. "Damn it pull up!" screamed Tony as he was about to hit a capital ship head on. The Longsword just missed the capital ship by a few meters. Tony then remembered to turn on the radio as he headed for the center of this hell. "Damn it! We lost God Killer! I want squadrons 2 and 6 to focus their fire on that damn capital ship!" yelled the Lord Hord. Tony then remebered he was in squadron 2. He started to masterfully guide the Longsword through the massive battle destroying 3 Covenant fighters along the way.
The capital ship was in horrible shape now that the 12 other frigates focused their MAC guns at it and all the other capital ships. "Ramirez, Ventura, Jackson! Target the bridge with your missles! We might get a lucky shot." said the squadron 6 leader. Tony targeted the bridge of the capital ship and was set to release his missles. "This for Reach you bastards!" yelled Tony as he, Ventura, and Jackson released all of thier missles at once. "Impact in 5...4...3...2..1.." said the targeting system as the missles hit the ship head on. And the ship then started to fall apart poece by piece. Tony let the moment go to his head as he looked left. There was a Banshee about to hit him head on."Ramirez!" yelled Ventura as he broke Tony out of his trance. But it was to late. The Banshee hit the Longsword head on, tearing the cockpit and metal away as it fired plasma. And Tony Ramirez of Squadron 2 fell from the cockpit of the Longsword to the atmosphere of Earth.
James Ventura stared painfully at the Longsword with Tony Ramirez collide with the Banshee. "Holy crap! The Malta just exploaded!" exclaimed Joey Jackson. James looked to his right to see the remains of The Malta still on fire. "Squadrons 1,2,3, and 6! The Covenant have broken through our lines! I need you to redirect your attention towards those ships and blow those bastards to hell!" yelled Lord Hood. "Sir! The Athens is down! I repeat! The Athens is down!" At that point James couldn't bare to listen to that radio channel anymore. "God. Please let me stop the Covenant. Let me do it...for Tony." James pleaded as he banked right and headed towards the 6 capital ships headed for Earth. This was going to be one hell of a day.
"Squad 6! I want you to cover In Amber Clad. They have...valuble cargo." said the leader of squadron 1. "Yes sir..." said James. He couldn't believe that the Covenant was able to break through some of the best defenses Earth has had for years. The squadrons were able to take out 1 of the capital ships. And why they landed in Africa was a mystery to everyone. "Hey Joey. How long do you think it will take for the Covenent to take down New Mombasa?" asked James. "One or at least two days. The only reason why they would leave is to either get to more reinforcements or blow up this dump." said Joey. "Yeah. Your proba.." "We have a Scrab inbound!" "What! I don't see it!" yelled James. But as he looked out of the left window he saw that he was on the recieving end of a laser blast. "Damn it!" yelled james as he tried to turn his Longsword around. But it was too late.
The Longsword James was in lost it's right wing and proceded to crash on the streets of New Mombasa. The last thing that James heard on the Radio was that In Amber Clad crashed. The Longsword hit the streets sideways and started to rool out of control. The Longsword came to a stop upside down with James crawling out of it with a battle rifle. He then started to throw up uncontrolably. This wasn't gonna be one hell of a day. This was going to be one hell of a week.
