ENDGAME
As the newly appointed major Steele walked through a taken covenant city he witnessed the mass graves for the covenant soldiers and woman and children. Him and his men just casually walked down the road. But his men couldn't believe how many corpses their were there must have been millions. But now they were on their final mission. Most of the covenant home world had been taken but there was one fortress, which was impregnable to human attacks. It was so well built that not even bombing raids could defeat it. Lucky for the humans one weakness was found, a small tunnel underneath the base was found and that's where Steele and his men come in they would infiltrate the tunnels go behind and literally open the front gates for them at least that was the plan.
"OK men we are moving underground we will infiltrate the covenant fortress and open the gates and try to disrupt there defences as long as possible, are we ready marines", and they all replied in the old fashioned sir yes sir. The tunnel was located exactly 1 mile away from the fortress in a small hill. "OK lets move in", after they were dropped off by pelicans they moved into the tunnel which was there. "I don't see anything down the tunnel", and they proceeded cautiously down the dark and gloomy passage. They could not have been half a mile down when there in a huge hall they saw the impossible a huge army of covenant hundreds of thousands marching together into an interconnecting tunnel, which they assumed, led to the surface. They carried on moving as they were at the top of the cave and the covenant did not notice them. But now they were engaged.
"Holy crap open fire open fire" shouted Steele. They had just gone into another passage when some covenant guards started shooting at them. The firefight was huge plasma and bullet going at each other and then Steele saw the horrifying sight one of his men was tagged with a covenant grenade, the man panicked he ran helplessly shouting "GET IT OFF PLEASE HELP", and then inevitably was killed instantly. The firefight continued there was nothing Steele could do except wait to die there didn't seem any way around them. But one of his men managed to put a few grenades at just the right place and the blockade was destroyed. They moved on but at a heavy cost a lot of his men were dead and the remaining probably would not finish the mission.
They carried on but it didn't seem like there was much hope and Steele could see that on his men's faces. But he would fight until he was dead and so would his men. And they reached something they did not expect a power core of the covenant this would definitely destroy the entire base and luckily for him his engineer had brought explosives so he could destroy the base and get out alive but as they approached a covenant voice stopped them dead in their tracks
"HA HA human fools did you really think I would let you get in this easy, it was I who allowed you to know about this tunnel and now I have the perfect rats for my test", this didn't sound good to Steele at all but now his fear would become reality for there coming out of 2 doors was 2 huge monsters. "Say hello to the ancients, ancient covenant which we have revived and now they will exterminate your puny race", The 2 huge ancient covenant (which had been upgraded with weapons, and a lot of them) opened fire on Steele's men they all dived quickly behind a few random rocks as they heard the ancients firing at them with plasma pistols, plasma rifles, needlers and fuel rod guns. "We have to destroy the reactor," shouted Steele so they took the last option they tried to throw grenades into the reactor but men were just getting killed as they threw. Steele threw all his grenades except one and they all missed and there rifle fire was having no effect on the ancients and more and more of his men were dying. So Steele resorted to the last option he got up and sprinted over to the reactor and the ancients arms weren't quick enough to catch Steele he ran over to the reactor got out his grenade jumped into the reactor and pulled the spring. And that was the end of the fortress and the end of the covenant and on Earth huge celebrations took place with people dancing in the streets and the banner of Earth flew high that night on Earth, the covenant were defeated and Steele and his men were forgotten in history they were just another division that just didn't make it and know one ever guessed how or why the explosion happened but one day they would.
THE END
Ps: I really hope this is better then my previous ones.
