Earth Under Siege

( As the Retribruton and members of its fleet raced to reach earth in time. Keith was currently talking to Hoya  and the rest of the ground team about how they will go about  saving planet earth)

" Keith,  there are two people that would like you to meet. They are the only two brutes that I was able to find that dislike both the Covenant and the Banished." Said Hoya. Really, what's the special occasion? Asked Keith. " We received word that Guardian and Renuall had sent down their  Ground forces and are trying to save as many people as they can using their Mammoths. They had sent down as many as they can before needing to go help the other ships with keeping the blockade strong. I called our two brutes here because I was told that an agent Fowler was seen with four platoons of marines being pinned down by heavy firepower. From what they could tell us, the banished have made their move by attacking Washington D.C. and New York City. Folwer was seen in New York City." Said  Hoya as they felt the ship stop and then looked through the window only to be shocked at what they see. 

"It's a warzone down there. ( Looks at Keith). Sir, we can get you in but the other ships need to move in before we do. " Said  Lida. " Have the titan lead the charge while the rest cover us. Once our ground forces are on the ground head back up to help the rest of the fleet." Said Keith as he felt the ship move. "Yes sir, we'll show these monsters into to mess with earth." Said Ilena as she gave the order to the rest of the fleet before alerting the allied ship orbing the planet of their plan. " This is going to be one heck of a battle." Said  Petra as she followed Keith's team to the hangar bay.

( Down in the hangar bay)

( Play this song while reading this part of the story)

" ( Looks at teams Delta, Omega, and Zeta). You three, Petra and Shara will be leading the main ground forces in different sectors of both  Washington and  California. Shara,  you, and teams  Zeta and Delta will lead the forces over in Washington. Petra,  you, along with teams Omega and Amazon will lead the forces in  New York. My team will look for Fowler, once we do. We'll be able to coordinate attacks more efficiently." Said Keith. "Yes, Sir, we'll get right on it." Said Both PEtra and Shara as they and their respective team got into their pelicans and flew out of the hangar bay. " Watches  Keith walk over to the hangar bay's edge). Keith, what are you doing? ( Watches  Tex and Carolina walk next to him). We're jumping out of the hangar bay aren't we?" Asked Arcee in her Spartan armor. " Yep, see you at the bottom." Said  Keith, as he backflipped out of the hangar bay with  Tex, Carolina, Miko, and Raf joining him before joining in and jumping out of the hangar bay herself.

( As Keith's group free fall through the sky. They begin to fall through the clouds and or run along any allied ship on their way down as they fall. It wasn't until they reached the Earth's atmosphere that they were able to truly see the outcome of the war so far. What they saw was New York City divided in war with one side having U.N.S.C. soldiers fighting alongside Swords of Saghelios and U.S marines. )

" Looks like the party just getting started, let's see if we can help tip this battle. Mom, sis, oven you land. Help the soldiers by taking out any of the generals. Miko, Raf, Erla, and I will go look for Fowler. " Said Keith as the group all took out their melee weapons and slashed at any  Banished soldier that was next to them after landing on top of a banished soldier that was beneath them. "  Wow, you weren't kidding Mairri,  that didn't hurt at all." Said Miko as she shot a brute in the head that had tried to sneak up on her. " We'll go handle our mission. You four make sure you stay alive." Said  Tex as she watched Erla and  Keith double-team a banished Elite before running off with Carolina right behind her. 

( With the teams now split up. Keith's group with their A.I. friend's help were able to locate Folwer)

" You guys are almost there,  he's just a bit further up." Said Calista s the team ran to were Fowler was until they finally spotted him, only to watch has he and his men were about to be swarmed. " Oh no you don't, YOUR NOT HURTING OUR FIREND!" Said Keith as he and his team ran toward the battle while shooting any banished soilder that that was in their way. " ( Stays low behind cover while shooting at some of the bansihed soldiers). Thers just no end to them. ( Suddnely hears a scream and then watches as five armored warriors either slash the banished soldiers or shoot them in the head). About time they got here. ( Watches the blue painted armored warrior kills the last banished solider). About time you guys got here, what took you so long. " Said Folwer. " Sorry Folwer, our robot friends need similar help on their planet." Said  Keith.

" Whats the sitrep Fowler, we wanna get these people off our home as soon as possible." Said Miko. " If only it were that easy. ( Watches as  U.N.S.C.  jets have dog fights in the skies above them before looking over to his left and pointing in the same direction). These creatures had set up a base over there by the Empire state building. I got a message saying that the same was happening over there as well." said Fowler. " Well then this may just be more easier than i thought." Said  Calista as she appeared in between the group. " Whats make you say that missy. no ones been able to get near those things with their automated defenses surrounding the base. " Its easy because you get to see what the mamoths can do." Said  Calista as she summonsed a digital keyboard and begin typing. " ( Contacts teams Amazon, Delta, Omega, Zeta, Petra, Shara, Tex and Carolina). This is Keith calling all teams. This is Keith,   how goes it over in your sectors?" Said Keith.

" We're just finishing up here sir. We were able to get all the civilians to the Mammoths. Now we're working with  team omega and Lt. Petra to take care of the banished. " Said Lara. " we're finished over here as well sir, just waiting on your order." Said Delta team leader. " Petra, Shara have all mammoths target their respective enemy bases. We're gonna send the banshied a message that earth is off limits. ( Hears Petra and Shara respond with a yes sir). Mom, sis,  how are things going on your end?" Said Keith. " We've taken care of all of the generals and leutenitnts, all that's left is to take care of the commanders." said Tex. " Their inside the base at the empire state building." Said Tex. " Same here sir, the commander is held ou in their base by the Washington monument." Said Kasey.

" Well then this just made things a whole lot easier." Said Keith. " What makes you say that son?"  Asked Fowler. " ( Looks at Calista). Are they all locked on?" Asked  Keith. "  Yep, I'm all systems from all the mammoths are locked on to their targets. " Said Claista. " Wait hold on sir,  we had felt the cannon turn in a direction. Are you saying that your the reason for that." Said Omega-one. "yep, I'm not waisting time with these guys. ( Looks at Calista). Do it  Calista." Said Keith as everyone around him and those scatered around both Washington  New York watched as all of the  Mammoths fired their cannons at the respective  Banished  bases  and then watched as the bases exploded. " ( Watches in shock as the base is destroyed and then looks at  Keith). Those things had that much firepower on them? Aske dFowler in shock.

" Yep, those things packa punch. ( Looks at Keith). Hows it going in space?" Said Miko as she watched  Keith look to the side before looking at her. " Lida says that the remaining banished ships are in retreat. Looks like that did the job." Said Keith. "I'm not sure how it wouldn't, you techincly nuked them  dude. (Looks at Fowler before contacting Lida and Hoya). Lida, Hoya,  have some of the ships land in  Washington and New York. We're gonna need as many medicks as we can get if we're save as many people as we can." Said Miko  as she,  Keith, Raf and  Erla looked at the setting sun with a smile on their face as  Tex and Carolina walked up behind them.
