Cortona:
Enco! Get the Chief buckled in, tell your crew to get ready its gonna be a bumpy landing. Enemy fire is coming our way.

Enco:
You got it.

Enco throws the stunned Master Chief into a chair and yells over the intercom, "ALL TROOPS PREPARE FOR INCOMING ENEMY FIRE! BLUE TEAM, READY STEALH, RED TEAM READY THE HEAVY FIRE! IF THEY HIT US, RED TEAM OPEN FIRE!" Just a Enco finishes his orders their ship is hit with the first round of Banshee's.

Enco:
Cortona, give me full coverage. You have my permission to take out any enemy you see.

Two more green bombs hit the side of the shit, burning into the side. But the Banshee's go short lived, a mini Mac cannon fires and takes out both of the Banshee's.

Enco:
ARC-ONE AND TWO, TAKE OFF! TAKE OUT THOSE BANSHEE'S PRONTO.

The sound of a roar blares in the distance as the two Ace Wings take off. The fly by Enco as they head for the remaining six Banshee's. The first Ace circles right and heads under Enco. The other takes off taking out one Banshee with a PP rocket, and damaging another. He open fire on the other and soon take it out. He now has the attention of four Banshee's. All of which circle around to him. One takes the lead and drops in front of the first Ace. The other three group together and stay behind him. The Arc's set the Banshee's up; just as the three are about to fire the middle one is hit with a PP rocket. The two on the sides fall smoking to the ground. The one in front is unaware that he is the only one left. The Arc that took out the three Banshees flies next to him, and so does the other Arc. The Elite now knows he has no chance, but in the classic style of the Elites, refuses to die. He tries to shake the two Ace Wings by slamming on the brakes. But is soon met by the front of the Spartans Pelican. In a large flash of smoke and flames the Banshee's are gone.

Enco:
Great job Arc-one and two. Land yourselves close to base, we are gonna get in there a pre-pare for the fight of our lives

Arc-One:
Wooo! God Damn! That was great! Just like a fly! BOOM! You got it boss. Damn! This is what I live for.

Enco:
Well if you want to keep living you will land now.

Arc-Two:
You got it.

The two Arcs make their way to a small clearing and prepare for the Pelican to land.

Cortona:
One problem Enco, landing gear is jammed.

Enco:
Land it the best you can Cortona.

Cortona:
I will, just make sure you get John back into the real world.

Enco:
I think the landing will wake him up enough.

Enco sees the ground coming up very fast, he hopes that it aint a complete crash. He hopes it is a crash landing, not just a crash. He open the intercom again, "BRACE FOR IMPACT!" But before any of the Spartans can lock themselves in they hit the ground. The sound of Spartans bouncing in the back is abundant. But lucky for the Spartan they all turned up their Shields up all the way. None of them are harmed but their shields have dropped and they need to stay in cover before they go out and fight again.

Enco:
ALL TROOPS FALL OUT! GET INTO THE BUNKER NOW! GRAB WHAT YOU CAN AND GET OUT OF HERE!

One after the other each Spartan jumps out and file into the bunker. They hear the distant breaking of trees, Hunters. Enco grabs John and throws him over his shoulder. John had passed out and was still out. He was still breezing, that was a good thing. He was out, that was bad. Enco had to get John awake, he would need him; just as Enco hops into the bunker he hears, and feels the blast. He get launched down the stairs, his armor saved him from a lot of injuries. Other than bumps he was fine. Enco places the Master Chief on the ground and breaks open a pack of snuffers. John snaps back to attention, and jumps up to his feet. John has no clue what happened or where he is. The only thing that gave him a clue was Cortona's voice.

Cortona:
John, you okay?

MC:
What the hell happened?

Cortona:
In a nut shell?

MC:
No, details.

Cortona:
You saw the Covenant army on earth. You freaked, its Halo all over again.

MC:
DAMN IT!!

John is extremely pissed, he swings his fists, and dents one of the beams holding up the bunker.

Enco:
Control him!

All of the Spartans tackle John and try to calm him down. John is freaking out, he doesn't want to see Halo again. Arms flying everywhere, one of the Spartans grabs a stun bomb, and hits John with it. The shock send two Spartans flying and knocks out John.

Cortona:
Put his helmet on. I am gonna try and calm him down.

Enco grabs Johns helmet and snaps it onto John. They see John jump and twitch, as Cortona try to calm him down. Soon after a long two minutes they hear Cortona tell Enco to wake him up. Enco does so and as John begins to come-to they hear.

MC:
What happened? Where am I?

Enco:
Calm down, you are ok. We are back on Earth. The Covenant are right outside. You must keep it together.

MC:
Got it, I will keep it together. I just need a few things.

Enco:
Name it.

MC:
Cortona, give me a constant update of the outside. I want to know what is going on, and when it happens.

Cortona:
You got it Chief, and welcome back.

MC:
Enco get you men ready, suit up with ammo, and grenades. We are gonna need all of them.

Enco:
You heard them man! Suit up! Arc's get your AW's ready the instant we get out of here. I want all of you n the air.

MC:
Be ready in five. We are busting out, and getting anyone else out.

Cortona:
Chief, I got an update for you. The Covenant are sending three units of Elites, two of Jackals, five of Grunts, and two of Hunters. They are going to trap us.

MC:
Enco give me three PP grenades, and two screen grenades. I got a plan for them. Also I need a scope.

Enco:
On it.

Enco throws John the five grenades, and the scope. As soon as John has them he takes off up the stairs.

MC:
Get ready as soon a tell you to I want you all to go top side, open fire on anything the aint UNSC.

Spartan Group:
Sir! Yes Sir!

MC:
I also need you to split in your two groups, red team, and blue group. Enco you are leader of Blue team. I will Red's leader.

Enco:
Sir!

The group of Spartans split and they stand ready. John runs up the stairs and slowly opens the hatch. He can see all of the enemy's watching to see what will appear out of the ground. He pulls out the first screen grenade and throws it. A thick black smoke begins to cover the area. As soon as John cannot see the ground in front of him he throws out a PP. He slams closed the lid and waits to hear screams of Covenant death. An explosion, and then screams John knows it is now time to attack.

MC:
Now!

All of the Spartans come pouring out of the bunker, blue team going right, red left. They all have their thermal vision on. Taking out Covenant left and right. Blood flying everywhere, the smoke settles and we see over twenty Covenant dead. All laying there, and not moving.

Cortona:
John, get moving! They are sending back-up.

MC:
Arc's get into the air now!

With that the two Arc's take off flying.

Arc-One:
This is Arc-One come in Arc-Two.

Arc-Two:
Arc-Two here Arc-One, lets take out some baddies.

The two AW's fly just overhead as the red team backs up the blue. Master Chief tells Enco to take the lead, but to watch out for Covenant forces. If he gets into trouble to signal over the COM channel, Enco's light flashes, tell John he knows.

MC:
Everyone be ready. This isn't going to be easy.
