The battle began with the ''[[Infinite Spoils]]'', a [[Kig-Yar raider]] commanded by four [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Zealot|zealots]], attacking [[the Rubble]]. [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee hoped to destroy the Rubble in order to complete his mission and regain the honor he lost when he was captured by the [[Kig-Yar]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 188''</ref> He had the ship attack the local [[mass driver]]s, recognizing them as important weapons. While the ''Infinite Spoils'' attacked, the first ships of the Kig-Yar fleet arrived and began attacking the Rubble themselves. As Kig-Yar ships closed in on the mass drivers, Rubble ships flew in and fired missiles to prevent the destruction of the mass drivers. Meanwhile, more and more asteroids emptied as the thousands of citizens of the Rubble evacuated. Although the [[AI]] [[Juliana]] lost some asteroids to both the Sangheili and Kig-Yar, she managed to move several more asteroids to meet with the UNSC forces moving in on Metisette.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 308''</ref>

As it closed down on the moon, the {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}} performed a high-speed [[drop pod]] deployment, down to [[the Redoubt]] on the surface of Metisette. The ''Midsummer Night'' came under fire from Kig-Yar [[Skar'wa-pattern Mantis|anti-aircraft guns]], and slowed down, to allow the pods to drop, before speeding off out the atmosphere again.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 312''</ref> The pods landed in the Redoubt's plaza, where [[Unggoy]] were waiting in buildings. There were two main forces of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] that landed; one with [[Jai-006]], and one with [[Adriana-111]].

Unfortunately, Adriana landed among a large group of Unggoy. She fought them off with her [[battle rifle]] and an [[M41 rocket launcher]], until she ran out of ammo. Then she used a [[Mongoose]] to physically beat the Unggoy to death.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 320''</ref> Eventually, she regrouped with her squad of ODSTs, only to discover that only six of the original sixteen had survived; the others killed by the Kig-Yar. They were however successful in destroying the anti-aircraft guns. Jai's men landed with the [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|''Shiva''-class nuclear missile]],<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 315''</ref> and planted it in the sensor hub and set a 2-hour timer.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 317''</ref>
