- "Shoot me? Because I saw that news from from Bonbourg, and ... I refuse to let them do that to me."
- —Margaret Hoffman giving her husband Victor Hoffman permission to kill her if the Locust attack Jacinto.[1]
The Battle of Bonbourg was a battle that took place after E-Day but before the Hammer of Dawn strikes across Sera. The media was able to report what happened in the city, leading Margaret Hoffman into thinking suicide was a better option than letting the Locust capture her.
The Locust began the assualt by opening E-holes three miles out of the city and let Seeders fire mortars at the city. Because of the Seeders Dury sent out nearly all his King Ravens to tackle the Seeders whilst preparing for attack. Major Dury ordered three of his companies to assist the civilians evacuating long the elevated highway, but that was a mistake. two Corpsers collapsed the Highway and slaughtered the civilians that fell.
Back in the city the Onyx guard were fighting the Locust, but were losing ground fast. Meanwhile Red 2 was evacuating a group of civilians when they came across a news crew broadcasting live that were filming the event, citizens across the surviving world were shocked that the Onyx guard was fighting instead of Gears. What happened next would shock them even more, Locust drones ambushed them and began beating the civilians to death. The news crew filmed it all and were quickly incapacitated along the the Onyx guard and civilians. The camera which had been dropped on the floor fimed the drones tearing apart every civilian and raping the women.
Major Dury then ordered the Onyx guard to pull out of the city along with the civilians. One company of Onyx guardsmen volunteered to stay behind and buy the rest of the soldiers time to get out.
The Onyx guard company then held out for eight hours killing drone after drone and quite a few corpsers until they ran out of ammunition and began fighting hand to hand until they were overwhelmed and killed.
This huge loss of life was taken as a big shock not only by the COG officers but the public as well, which saw the demotion of Major Paul Dury if it wasn't for chairman Dayell sticking up for him Dury would have been shot
