A flock of Phantoms flew over the towers of New Mombasa, Banshees weaving between them as the dark clouds parted to make way for the Covenant aircrafts. . .
A trio of Brutes traversed the zone of destroyed Phantoms and Banshees around and about the New Mombasa Police Department, stomping through the wreckage to look for any in tact weaponry. . .
Unfortunately for them, those weapons had already been taken. A blue beam drilled through the head of a Brute, the Minor falling to the ground as the other two whirled and opened fire! A Plasma Grenade soared through the air and stuck the Major in the rear, the Brute howling before it was consumed in a blast of plasma! The final Brute was hit in the chest by another beam, before a storm of needles hit it from the side and brought the alien down in an explosion of pink smoke. . .
Stepping up to the dead Covenant was Amethyst, a Needler in hand. She was soon joined by the Rookie, a Beam Rifle strapped to his back. . .
Amethyst: That's the third party. . .
Rookie: . . .
Amethyst: Us? Could be.
Rookie: . . .
Amethyst: I can't imagine what else they'd be lookin' for. . .
Without giving the two a moment to rest after stealthily eliminating party after party of Covenant, their HUDs flashed and their objective was updated. . .
Amethyst: The streets are going to be crawling with Covenant, and that's on the whole other side of the city. . . (Sighs) Our mystery friend is certainly not making this easier for us.
The Rookie snapped his fingers, calling his teammate over and nodding his head forward. . .
Rookie: . . .
Amethyst: How convenient.
Surviving the wreckage of Phantoms and Banshees, were a pair of intact Ghosts. . .
Amethyst: It'll be noisy, but beats moving on foot. My 'sole' is aching.
Rookie: (Blinks)
Amethyst: That was a good one!

The doors sealing the streets began to slide open, the ominous hum growing louder the wider the entrance became. The Brutes shielded their eyes as a bright, blue lights shined through the gap! Two Ghosts flew through the blast doors and rammed into the Brutes! The Grunts all shrieked in horror and hit the deck as the cycles drifted, splattering the Jackals in their way! Storms of plasma began to melt down the infantry before the Ghosts blasted off!
Amethyst: WOOHOOO!
The Hell Jumpers raced through the streets of New Mombasa, boosters active as they flew through dozens of Covenant Outposts!
Rookie: ?!?!?!
Amethyst: Told ya there'd be a lot!
The Pilot disengaged her boosters and whirled around, driving in reverse while opening fire on the Shade Turrets stations on the rooftops! The three closest soon erupted into violet flames, the trooper spinning her vehicle and rushing to catch up to her partner!
The Rookie circled a roundabout, evading the Fuel Rod Blasts of the many Grunts gathered in the center! He swerved into a corner, his Ghost spinning out of control whilst firing wildly, a plasma bolt just so happening to strike a Covenant Fusion Core! The resulting chain explosions of blue and green lit up the entire block.
Rookie: . . .
Amethyst: I said we'd be loud, BUT NOT THAT LOUD!
The Pilot flew past him, the Rookie quickly following behind as they continued their journey across the city! A tune just a pitch lower than their Ghosts permeated through the air, the woman letting out an annoyed groan.
