Set between the events of Halo 2 and Halo 3, follow a highly secret mission to infiltrate the Covenant's former Holy City and retrieve a vital UNSC asset, one which would be the key to winning the war. Don't make a girl a promise, if you know you can't keep it.

It has been months since Humanity and the Covenant ceased hostilities. While searching for replacement colony worlds, the UNSC finds that a separatist group of hostile Covenant has occupied their target planet. Naval Intelligence dispatches a team of Spartans to investigate. They soon discover that Sigmus IV offers more valuable assets that its real estate.

I've been meaning to write this for a while now. This short story takes place during the events of Halo 2/Halo 3:ODST, and follows two SPARTAN II Commandos as they undertake a dangerous covert mission deep within the occupied city of New Mombasa. My first ever story on here, 6 chapters in length, roughly 18,000 words. More to follow! C.X.
