Covenant Holy City High Charity

9th Age of Reclamation

I wonder what the Prophets are planning, said a Sangheili Ultra. If we are to crush the humans, I thought we would get more ships. Then we have those brutes…

No! It is just beginning...

A human walks into the atrium. He is wearing a long leather coat and a really long cape. The elites draw their energy swords.

HOLD YOUR BLOODY FIRE!

The prophet of Truth arrives at the scene.

He is our ally, a hyper lethal human fused with YOUR blood. That is right my brothers. He is one of us now. As an experiment, Sangheili blood runs in his veins. Not only that. He is… the new Commander of the fleet of Salvation.

3 years later…..

Planet Cerberus

March 12, 2550

Marines are stranded on an island surrounded by incoming phantom drop ships. An entire city is in distance. One of the marines grabs a radio….

Marine: Command! I need enemy Corvette overhead blown, or we aren't getting out of here!

Command: Negative, our frigates are busy assisting the defense fleet in orbit. Help unavailable.

Marine: Shit! What will we do now! These goddamn covenant bastards will waste us!

A Covenant CCS class cruiser flies overhead. It lowers its gravity beam over the island and lowers several Zealots and a dark figure.

Marine: What the hell is that?

Zealot: Stand down human! I can slit your neck with the tip of my sword!

Fleet Master: It's been a while, my former brothers.

Sgt. Tyler: Alex! What the hell are you?

Fleet Master: Shut up scum! The name is Rtne 'Medolee. I am the Fleet Master of the fleet of Salvation, and ship master of the cruiser Redemption. The Covenant sure are generous if you provide what they want. Now it is time for you humans to meet your end.

Sgt. Tyler: No Alex! You were kidnapped by these elites when you were 17! Remember your fiancé? She went missing because you disappeared!

Rtne 'Medolee: Zealot, kill these humans.

Elite Zealot: As you wish my brother!

A UNSC Frigate descends at full speed launching Pelicans and Longsword fighters, as well as multiple squads of ODSTs. One of the Pelicans crash lands into the island as it gets shot down by a Seraph fighter. The pelican kills several of the elites on the ground.

Captain: This is the frigate Light till Dawn, any ground forces needing assistance please respond, over.

Sgt. Tyler *Grabs a radio* We need…

Rtne 'Medolee: *grabs an energy sword and puts it to the sergeant's throat* Tell them you need nothing!

Sgt. Tyler: I need nothing… but the cruiser above us to be blown to hell!

Rtne 'Medolee: Tyler, I am not a human. Sangheili blood flows in my veins and there is no going back.

Sgt. Tyler: *hands him a locket* Remember her?

Rtne 'Medolee: *begins to tear up* THERE IS NO GOING BACK DAMNIT! I AM ONE OF THE COVENANT NOW! AND A STRONG ASSET TO THEM!

The cruiser above takes a heavy Mac round and is critically damaged.

Rtne 'Medolee: Assault Carriers, blow what is left of their fleet and glass this bitch of a planet before my eyes cannot take anymore.

Zealot Elite: What of the humans?

Rtne 'Medolee: leave them here. I doubt they will withstand a shot from an energy projector.

The remaining elites along with their leader depart in a phantom drop ship to their severely damaged cruiser and make a slip space inside atmosphere. Everything blacks out as 15 Assault Carriers glass the city and the continent at once.
