On January 26, 2610, in an unknown solar system, there was a humongous ship that was shaped like a sword. On board the ship, 25 seats appeared with 25 beings. One of them said, "The Covenant is making a comeback starting today."

Another one said, "We are the 25 leaders of the New Covenant."

Another one said, "But we are all new here. No, we had 50 years of training. We had 50 years of building. You disobey us, there will be serious consequences."

The one to his right said, "We have trained together to fight the UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios. But a new faction joined them after the Reclamation."

The one to his right said, "Yes. A new faction. They call themselves the CIS. They call themselves the most dominant faction in history. But they haven't seen what we could do yet."

One of the soldiers said, "Um, sir, what does CIS stand for?"

They heard that and then one of the leaders answered, "Created Intelligence Service. In short, it's CIS. It's so much easier to say."

They said, "Oh, where do we attack first? I hope that it's a populated place."

The leaders said, "Calm down everyone. We have a massive army of 579 sextillion soldiers with 249 quintillion ships in our arsenal. And our weapons are brand new. The Covenant in this era will dominate the galaxy and then go far beyond the Milky Way and dominate over there as well. We are no longer weak minded like the members of Swords of Sanghelios. We will attack when the time is right."

Everyone heard that and then one of them said, "We've been hiding for the past 50 years trying to make this work out. And guess what guys, we made it work out."

Another one said, "We are going to attack Malurok. Humans call it Decided Heart. Well, we'll attack it today at 1800 hours."

A soldier said, "We destroy the planet correct?"

They answered, "No, we don't destroy the planet, Shipmaster Zeko 'Muzum. We kill everyone on it and then we glass the planet. We're going to make sure they suffer. For betraying the first Covenant."

Everyone heard that and then someone asked, "What if the first party fails to complete the mission?"

One of the leaders answered, "Shipmaster Byrbais, if you fail to complete the mission, we will give you a second and third chance to redeem yourself. But if for some reason that you can't redeem yourself those 3 times, you will die."

Everyone heard that and then bowed downwards and then said, "We understand."

One of the leaders said, "Send out the Rapacious Act. Please enjoy your time killing everyone and glassing the planet."

Everyone started cheering and then the Shipmaster of the Rapacious Act, Shipmaster Rteva 'Sraram said, "Let's move out everyone. We have work to do."

Everyone on board the Rapacious Act started gearing up and then one of the leaders looked at them and then turned his chair around and asked, "Do you think that the Covenant is ready to move?"

The leader next to him answered, "Unknown. We'll find out when the first battle is over. But as we know it now, it is easy to say that we have a 75% chance of victory."

A female leader turned around and said, "Shit, why did you ask me to join the new Covenant, huh? I'm a Human. Your enemy."

One of the leaders answered, "Fleet Admiral Mina Tokunai, you are the CO of one of the best ships in the UNSC. The UNSC Shutdown. We'll need you in time."

Mina said, "With all due respect to you guys, but there is one Human that we don't ever want to fuck with."

Everyone heard that and then asked, "Who would that be, huh?"

Mina answered, "Admiral William Knight. He is the CO of the UNSC Bring It. But is the Commander of his own fleet known as Fleet of Justice. He's..."

One of them laughed and said, "Alright, he owns his own fleet. That doesn't mean that we should fear him, Tokunai."

Mina said, "If you would let me finish, I'd get to the scary parts about him."

They heard that and then said, "We're sorry. Please continue."

Mina said, "William fights with a sword only. He despises weapons. He's known as the Demon Onslaught. He's also in charge of all of the Spartans in the UNSC. William has two personalities. One for talking with his crew and the other for wanting to kill his enemy. But if you tear his mask off, he can't be the Demon. I learned that recently."

The leaders smiled and then asked, "How good is he?"

Mina answered, "Wiped out 26 fleets of the Eclipse Empire all by himself."

They screeched and said, "You're right, he's a huge threat. We can't let him roam free. The main reason why we brought you here is that you despise the UNSC as much as we do."

Mina said, "I see. That makes sense actually. Alright, I'm totally down for that. You allow me to take out the UNSC, you can have your way with the Human colonies."

They smiled and said, "Alright Tokunai. As long as we're all on the same page, that's fine. After the result of this first battle, we'll see if we attack right away."

Mina said, "Oh, I know."

Her second in command appeared and said, "Ma'am, Fleet Admiral Sir Hector Hood needs a word with you."

Mina heard that and then asked, "Are you sure about that Reigns?"

Vice Admiral Rebecca Reigns answered, "Yes. It seems urgent."

Mina said, "I must take my leave now. It seems that my boss needs me for something."

They said, "Go. We can handle everything from here."

Mina walked away with Rebecca and then one of the leaders said, "I find it hard to believe that a Human despises their own kind so much. What did they do to her to make her turn on them?"

One of them looked her up and then said, "Oh, I see. It's all William Knight's fault. He became a war hero just before Mina got elected to be the war hero. William is a major threat."

They looked at each other and then said, "It seems that we need to make sure that we aide Mina in killing the enemy."

Rteva 'Sraram said, "Sir, everyone is on board of the Rapacious Act. Shall we leave now?"

One of the leaders in the middle answered, "Yes. Take off now. We'll be watching from afar."

Rteva 'Sraram said, "Yessir."

The Rapacious Act started flying away and then the leader that spoke said, "High Councilor Zetan 'Zadam, what do you think is going to happen?"

Zetan 'Zadam answered, "One of the three factions will interfere with our work."

They heard that and then said, "I see. Your hypothesis might be right. Let's keep an eye on the screen and watch."

Zetan 'Zadam said, "Agreed."

They turned the screen on and then what Rteva 'Sraram and his men saw, they saw as well.
