Bab 290: The Stand of Mombasa!
On an island called Mombasa, a city resided, currently this city was crumbling and on fire as plasma bombardment from small cruisers and other weaponry surged into the the massive buildings and futuristic architecture that made up this marvel of human ingenuity.
One such structure was a space elevator that was currently burning and crashing to the ground as soldiers shot their weaponry in the faces of massive 6-8 foot tall alien monsters and their smaller counterparts. The screams of injured and maimed soldiers was a chorus to this scene as along with this sound came the stink of death and cordite. Seconds later the elevator came crashing down on the soldiers heads as their very last actions were those of pulling their triggers.
...
In another part of this city multiple Pelican Troop Carriers landed, plasma shots swarming their decent as the roaring sound of 50-calibre firearms responded in kind. Soldiers were here as well, their positions firmly cemented behind the temporary defences they had scrounged together. Amongst them were remnants of some Spartans as some of them had hundreds of crystalline formations jutting out from their armour.
The Pelican Troop Carriers quickly landed, the mechanisms taking some damage as they did it quickly. Without wasting any time several squads of UNSC troops poured out as following them were Spartan Reinforcements, amongst them being the Chief himself. As hastily as they deployed the suppressing fire from the enemy came as a veritable tsunami of plasma started to get shot down into the streets below from the towers above. Some towers were controlled by the UNSC still, some by the Covenant but most were contested.
As this counterfire began to rain down so too did a hail of bullets from and opposing apartment block, an entire floor of the building being carved out by the High Calibre weaponry. Chief rushed for cover as he protected a vulnerable soldier who had been firing at a different direction. He tanked the hits, the heat barely transmitting to his body below. Turning around swiftly after he took the hits he began to unload his weapon with intense accuracy into the surrounding targets. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 10, he didn't stop until the immediate area was clear. He rushed from cover to cover as his team gave him cover fire from cover.
"You do know you don't have to always damage your armour every time you come into combat..."
"Yes Cortana, now is not the time." He grunted as he took a long knife from the side of his armour and punctured through the jaw of an elite who had been caught off guard by his advance. Cover fire started to fire as Chief took cover to reload his weapon. The errant sounds of combat billowed throughout the city as massive detonations and explosions rocked entire segments of the cities, the war raging between the UNSC and the Covenant.
It hadn't been like this a week ago. The UNSC had waited for Emelia knowing that she was interested in a potential alliance. In fact, so were the UNSC, as they were desperate for an alleviation of their supply chains and possibly the defence of their outskirt planets, which were constantly whining about not gaining the immediate help of the UNSC. Only a few days ago had the Covenant assaulted Earth, the heart of the Human Nation. It was so unexpected that they had floundered and didn't know exactly how to respond, that was a bad move as the Covenant soon began to stream into the system like a tide, ship after ship until there was a little over 60 ships in the system; of various sizes.
A massive crack in the sky alerted Chief, his head swinging upwards as a massive battleship of the Covenant started to fall out of the sky, followed by Cyan lights. That was when it happened.
Across the entire battle field a bunch of hazy purple lights appeared before they winked out of existence and left behind heavily armoured soldiers, solid black exoskeletal suits, like Chief's in some ways, adorning them as behind the conventional forces were massive 10-12 foot tall constructs with small studded spikes sticking up from their lush looking exteriors. There was a momentary pause in combat between the UNSC and Covenant, this lasted for a few seconds before the new soldiers started to open fire at the Covenant, the constructs shooting concentrated beams of energy at the armoured targets off to the side of the current area. In mere moments this new force began to shred the Covenant.
Chief expected retaliation from the Covenant to be swift and merciless but that never came to fruition as all of the plasma shot at these new soldiers deflected, ricocheted or slopped off of the armour; dripping onto the floor.
"UNSC forces! We are the Dragon Division of the Veritas Imperium! We have come to your aid. I need the commander to come and meet me, we shall establish a safe base of operations!" An explosion rocked a tower in the background as a massive ship of unique and powerful design slowly descended into the sky above, cyan energy raining onto targets across the city.
"I am the leader here." Chief stood and walked over to a man dressed in solid black armour, the construct standing behind him scanning the surrounding buildings.
"Very Good, now, we have been ordered by Supreme Commander Emelia to aid the UNSC in any way possible. What is your task and how can we assist?"
Chief was slightly surprised by their willingness but quickly began to relay the basics of his task and made sure to keep confidential UNSC information under wraps. The UNSC soldiers were breathing deeply in relief as the Veritas Imperium Soldiers quickly took over their defensive positions and also started to hand out food and water. Dead men and women covered the battlefield as blood seeped into the sewers and brickwork of the city's foundation. The scene was a grim one, now made a little more light as the Veritas Soldiers looked determines, dedicated and surprisingly confident.
"If I may ask, why are your troops so confident?"
"Hahaha, they know that enemies of this level will not be very effective against our level of force. We have trained against much nastier and worse enemies than this..." The man shuddered as a thought of something made him uncomfortable. Chief was surprised and a bit nervous about the insinuation of an enemy worse than the Covenant or the Flood. The need to ask who this foe may be was monumental but Chief simply held back and turned towards his squad of Spartans.
"Get prepared, we set out towards the dig sight of the Covenant soon."
"Sure boss!"
"Yes sir!"
"Hehe, they are energetic... I will send some of our men and constructs with you, please use them sparingly and with care." The commander of the Dragon Division seemed to turn utterly cold and serious with his words as he just stared at the Spartans, fear being the one thing clearly lacking in his emotions.
"Thank you, I will only use them to hold off the enemy if it is needed." The man's face turned happy again as he nodded and turned to some of his soldiers, speaking in a language different to many he had ever heard. Around two squads worth of soldiers and constructs stood up as they came to the side of the Spartans and made them seem small. The Spartans were enjoying this for the most part as it was rare they ever got outclassed or matched in badassness (Author Note: I made it a word, accept it).
Like this the irregular group set off as a large shield covered the landing sight, multiple shuttles and landing craft entering the area as the remnants of the UNSC responded to the calls of the Veritas Imperium's military.
