History FanFic / TheBattleOfNewMombasa

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5579866/1/The_Battle_of_New_Mombasa The Battle of New Mombasa]]'' is a ''Franchise/{{Halo}} fan fic by Thuggery, written mostly out of boredom as an attempt to detail what exactly went on during the events of ''VideoGame/Halo2'' and ''[[VideoGame/Halo3ODST ODST]]'' that the player would not see. Written similarly to the much more famous ''Fanfic/TiberiumWars'' by Creator/{{Peptuck}}, it follows soldiers and ordinary citizens around Mombasa during the Battle of Earth. The author/troper doesn't particularly want to toot his own horn (and quite frankly finds that sort of behavior sexually deviant and more than slightly physically impossible), he'll let the tropes invoked speak for themselves.
