"All right men. This is it."
Buck shouted over the chatter of the civilians.But he wasn't addressing them. Nor was he addressing the Marines and members of NMPD, who were all helping Civilians up into the Elephants. No. In front of him stood Dutch, Romeo, Mickey and the Rookie. His squad. Reunited for the first time since the drop.
"Okay. We get these civilians out. We get the hell out of here too, troopers."
Romeo chips in, "And some time with the civilian ladies?
Buck laughs, for the first time at one of Romeo's remarks, "If we're lucky"
Romeo raises out a hi-five sign to Mickey who just looks at him and smiles. And they all move. Getting to the job. They had 2 Warthogs. Mission was to escort the Elephant full of civilians out of New Mombasa before they glassed the damn place. Dutch took driver and Romeo took shotgun on the Gauss Hog. Buck and Mickey got on the standard Hog.
'Rookie, you have the Gauss Turret", Buck shouts out.
Control returns to the player as he gets on the Gauss turret. Buck's voice fills the speakers.
"All right. We're moving out. Stick with the Elephant. We need to get these civies out of here"
Mickey, for the first time ever, asks a negative question, "Buck, what if we don't manage to?"
"Well, Mickey. Then this whole Mission was a failure."
Dutch gets things going. "Enough talk. Lets just get going before the Covenant catch up"
And so the Warthog the Rookie is on starts moving, followed by the Elephant and then the other warthog. Things are going slowly. As the Rookie in third person, on the Gauss turret, you see Phantoms off in the distance. Romeo's voice fills the radio.
"Phantoms are coming in."
"Looks like they are evacuation their own buddies"
"Wonder Why they're...
"INCOMING!" A Wraith shot explodes near your Warthog.
"What the hell is going on here!"
"Its a Trap!"
"They were waiting for us"
Indeed, It was a trap. All around them, Wraiths, Choppers, Prowlers, Ghosts, Grunts, Hunters, Brutes. Every Covenant on New Mombasa were after us. And we had to get out.
The situation dawned on Mickey. "We're surrounded. We can't get out"
The sound of the Police sirens fill the air. Romeo's voice filled the air as well. 'What the hell is that?"
"Is that what I think it is?"
"Keep it clean! Metropolitan Emergency"
More than a dozen NMPD Police Cars burst out of nowhere and crashed into a blockade of Ghosts and Infantry. In one awesome explosion, one side of the Covenant Blockade is cleared.
"Blockade cleared. We're good to go!"
Buck chips in, "All right Troopers. Guns ready!"
Romeo chips in as well "Super to the rescue!"
Superintendent's got something to say to that as well...
"Bridge Toll Accepted. Have a nice day"
Music starts to kick in. Phantoms and banshees and well everything comes at you and as the Rookie, you're just on the Gauss Hog, shooing the hell out of everyone as Dutch Drives the Warthog. Its an On-rails sequence but an action packed one.
Eventually, you, the other Warthog and the Elephant escape the City into a barren, glassed environment. Covenant vehicles are just overwhelming you guys but as the Rookie, you're still taking them out.
An UNSC personal talks over the Radio.
"You're entering a restricted UNSC Area. Please identify yourselves"
Buck wastes no time doing just that.
"This is Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck. We're survivors of New Mombasa attack and we have civilians as well. Repeat, we have civilians."
"Roger that. Help is on its way. Hang in there trooper"
'Buck we have a problem"
Buck snaps back to reality The 3 vehicles are surrounded by Covenant.
You can hear Buck mummer "Anytime now guys..."
A sharp sound fills the air, like a jet flying by. Multiple shadows can be seen in the clouds and instantaneously, explosions all around.
This time, Mickey realizes what's going on.
"Shortswords! Its our guys!"
True enough, as the smoke of the smoldering wastes clear. 4 Shortswords fly overhead. Hornets and Multiple Pelicans arrive at the scene and start to land. The civilians start to move out of the Elephant and start boarding the pelicans.
The guy on the radio comes back on.
"Good job troopers. We'll make sure...."
You can't hear anything. Above you a Covenant Carrier flies toward the city.
"Oh crap"
"Damn the Covenant must bloody hate this city"
The guy on the radio speaks again.
"New orders troopers. Intel reports that ship is here to evac all remaining Covenant personal before they clean up the streets."
"You mean?"
"They're gonna glass New Mombasa."
"What do we have to do?"
"Board the carrier"
"What? How!?"
"You'll see"
And sure enough, another Pelican lands in front of our squad. Only this one has been refitted with 6 HEV Drop pods, in favor of the Troop bay.
"Experimental equipment. Only one that survived the initial attack. You get to field test it"
Romeo: "Sounds like fun"
Mickey: "Anyone else feel a sense of Deja Vu?"
Buck (as he motions the ODSTs towards the Pelican to get ready in the pods): "What? The last time we tried to board a Covenant ship, it blew the city up. Nothing out of the ordinary."
Mickey: I don't like Sarcastic Sergeants, Sarge.
Buck: Well then, better stay the hell away from me
The ODSTs laugh as they get ready for the drop.

Second last mission, as I imagined it.
The last mission, if I bother to write it out, involves actually landing on the surface of the ship and blowing a hole out of the hull. You find out the Superintendent used the last of its strength to take control of the Covenant ship's navigation systems and steers the Covenant ship away from the city. You fight way to the bridge and take out the crew but realize the Commander got away to regroup with other men.
Superintendent's losing control. You head to the Ship's Armory and find a Covenant bomb, similar to the one in Halo 2. You set it to rig and you have 4 minutes to get out before the bomb blows. The moment the charges are set though, Superintendent loses control and the ship is crashing downwards. What ensues is a desperate run through a vertical playing field to reach the Ship's Launch Bay, where a pelican will be waiting for you. And all this happens with the 4 other squad mates. You reach the end and make a jump for it into the Pelican's troop bay and fly off. The ship proceeds to crash just off the city and as it crashed, the bomb goes off, destroying a portion of the already destroyed city.
As you fly off in the sun, you hear Romeo saying "Man, that city has the worst luck"
