User:DiCinnoa/Halo: The End Of Time

(This is a story for the fight for humanity, against the covenant onslaught. It takes a different turn than that of the Halo series, where humanity has truly fallen.)

"High things always knew they were doomed. But were another race might surrender to despair, they fought back with even greater fervor. They made us fight for every last inch of space. In my life I've never seen anything like it. They wept. They prayed. They would say good bye to their love ones. And throw themselves without fear or hesitation into the very face of death itself, never surrendering. None who saw them fighting against the inevitable could help but be moved to tears by their courage. Their purely stubborn ability. When they ran out of ships, they used guns. When they ran out of guns they used knives and sticks, and eventually bands. In this they were magnificent. I only hope that when it is my time, that I may die with have as much dignity as I saw in their eyes in the end. They did this for twenty five years. And for twenty five years they never ran out of courage. But in the end, they ran out of time."
