(authors note: i used to write with pooman... he is my friend anyou should read all his stuff and post )
"Captain!", yelled the watchman from the surveilence deck. "At ease,soldier. What is it", said the starteld captian interupted from his rest. "We've got breaches in sector 7, covenant SERFs inbound...E.T.A....about 10 minutes.", replied the watchman. "BASTARDS...damn...we'll have to abort mission and head them off", "but sir, what about orders!?", "what about them," "Aye sir." With that the Captain left his post. He radioed to the Sergeants and ordered a meeting in the officer's quarters. "Gentlemen, time is of the essence...i need soldiers stationed at all exit points and ships defenses. I need a Tech team working on the ships guns and medics in the trioge at all times.Go!we'll be intercepting a SERF team in aporximately 7 minutes." The ship was fair sized and had a crew of about 2,000...about 800 soldiers, 100 pilots, 500 medical personnel and the rest worked in maintenance and engineering of the ship. The sirens in the main galley blared and the soldiers, some dressed some not, ran to the armories. "Light today...just an A.R. or the 12 guage." said the armorer Cortez...who amongst the commotion found the time to light a ciggarette. "This is the Captain...I need two Longsword Fighter ships fueled and armed and 3 platoons at the ready.", said Captain Waters over the intercom. In the hangar the massive longsword ships were wheeled out into the center for fueling and sytem checks, while the pilots were being briefed about the mission. "E.T.A.?", asked waters "5 and counting...we need to deploy." waters walked to the telecom desk and patched in to the hangar. "Get those Ships out now!", He said to the comanding officer at the post. "Aye." The two fighter ships rised with a powerful roar. And in a flash they sped out of the hangar into space. "Give me links to both of them..i want to know everything that goes down!", Waters yelled. He had a view from inside the ships on a split screen. "Red to blue...red to blue",said the pilot of the first Longsword "i hear you red", answered the second. They saw the first SERF attack ship making a bombing run at a Marine fuel station. "flank him", said the captain "aye", said the red pilot. The ships converged on the lethal covenant craft. It pulled up shooting a spray of plasma at the two intervening human vessles. "FUCK!!!" said the blue pilot "He broke my windshield." "Land in the fueling depot... ive got him." said red. Red shot a missle targeted for the SERF and it cliped its wings and the ship went spiralling downward. "Good job men". "Blue stay where you are im coming down to help you fix up." the second longsword landed on a plasma scorched spot and walked over to his teamates ship. "HOLY SHIT", said the pilot in awe.
"What...what is it", Demanded Waters. "4 covie drops on approach...there looking for survivors!" as the captain wondered what to do next...a shot hit the side of his ship knocking out panes of bullet-proof glass and instantly killing four soldiers standing nearby. In a matter of seconds the same thing occured on the opposite side of the ship. Then hoardes of covenant aliens stormed the ship. The captain relayed messagges throughout the entire ship as fast as he could. The platoons came in guns blazing, picked off by the ranks of jackals.all the covenatnt converged in the middle of the galley and marines stormed from each side trying to trap them. In the hangar ships were sent to destroy the covenant drop ships outside the USMC battle cruiser. Blood in a rainbow of colors was shed as the humans fought for their lives angainst the panic-stricken ranks of covenant. The captain got o nthe emergency line," This is Waters seeking immediate attention from any friendly ship!", static for a few seconds "Negatory Waters we've got enemies left and right... this may be the big one...the invasion." waters ran as fast as he could to the armory. He grabbed a sniper rifle and went up onto the balcony overlooking the battle. using an overturned table for cover, he started to pick off the commanding units of the covenant. Soon the other snipers were tactically placed to stop any further breaches. After 7 hours the battle was over. Though many were injured...few castualties were taken from the USMC force. This was the first step of the invasion of earth. With sector 7 breached and other areas under attack the cruiser saught out refuge in an abandoned moon outpost. The ship took a body count and ebuildt what theyt could... for they would be back to the ranks in a matter of days.
