About
The marines are all but toast as they are overrun by the covenant, but then one of those mysterious Spartan super soldiers appears and saves them. Now the marines and the Spartan have to team up to stay alive as they both try and get their missions completed. On the planet Tribute, the Covenant had attacked. Covenant forces were invading the planet, sending the human civilian population scattering to escape the planet. It wasn’t long after the UNSC showed up to defend the planet that the heavily populated Tribute turned into a warzone once most of the remaining civilian population had been evacuated. One of the faithful Marine fireteams that had been dispatched to the planet was Fireteam Blaze who were one of many teams deployed to the planet’s largest metropolis Casbah City. This four marine fireteam was one of many marine teams that were scattered across the planet. Fireteam Blaze however had been pinned down by overwhelming Covenant forces. Over a dozen Covenant soldiers had pinned down the marines behind some scattered debris on the streets of Casbah City. Six grunts, five jackals with shields, two brutes, and four elites all had the marines pinned down, desperately exchanging fire.

The Spartan’s true classified mission was to get into Casbah City and retrieve Syd from her storage, ensuring that she wouldn’t fall into the hands of the Covenant.
Sourcebook
Intro
It is late July 2552. The Human-Covenant War rages on
On the planet Tribute, the Covenant had attacked. Covenant forces were invading the planet, sending the human civilian population scattering to escape the planet. It wasn’t long after the UNSC showed up to defend the planet that the heavily populated Tribute turned into a warzone once most of the remaining civilian population had been evacuated.
One of the faithful Marine fireteams that had been dispatched to the planet was Fireteam Blaze who were one of many teams deployed to the planet’s largest metropolis Casbah City. This four marine fireteam was one of many marine teams that were scattered across the planet.
Fireteam Blaze however had been pinned down by overwhelming Covenant forces. Over a dozen Covenant soldiers had pinned down the marines behind some scattered debris on the streets of Casbah City. Six grunts, five jackals with shields, two brutes, and four elites all had the marines pinned down, desperately exchanging fire.
Takes her MA5D assault rifle and stands up from cover, letting a few rounds loose of suppressive fire before ducking back behind cover That’s a lot of aliens Sergeant!
Shoots two bursts of gunfire from his BR55 battle rifle towards the Covenant, taking out a jackal and two grunts I know Private! Everyone just hold the line!
Unload two controlled bursts of fire towards the Covenant forces, taking out one of the grunts before ducking under the destroyed car he’s been taking cover behind, narrowly missing a plasma shot wizzing by his head Damn four lips is gonna get my boot up his ass! That one almost got me!
As the Covenant forces overwhelm the marines, it seemed like a matter of time before the fireteam was a bunch of goners
That was until something appeared from over a pile of rubble that used to be a building
