The two stoned stormtroopers continued walking carefully down the long purplish-pink hallway of the Covenant ship. Jeff took point as Gary walked behind aiming his blaster rifle down range, looking for any surpises that might come for them.
"Bro you hear that?" Gary asked, after hearing the loud roars and revs of the Doom Slayer's chainsaw echoing through the empty hallway.
"Yep. Our friend is probably having a great time. It's a good thing were not enemies." Jeff replied.
"Yeah...Whoa! Umm... Hi?" Gary waved at the strange alien standing before him whose armed with a strange blue weapon in his hand.
"Wort! Wort! Wort!" The blue armored-plated Elite screamed aiming at the strange white armored beings standing before him, then fired his plasma rifle at them.
Jeff and Gary fired back, killing the Elite with their DC-15A carbines, and looked at the carbon charred body of the blue armored alien. They both heard more noises from down the long hallway and saw three more strange bird-like and hulk-like aliens running towards them in a pissed off manner. The Covenant aliens fired their weapons at the two strange white armored clad humans and both Gary & Jeff fired back at them.
"Hey bro! We should retreat!"
"Never! We're Stormtroopers! We never retreat!" Jeff screamed, then ducked for cover before a hail of green plasma fire wizzed by. "Fuck it! Run! Eat this bastards!" Jeff yelled, tossing a thermal detonator at the strange and pissed off aliens before sprinting away.
A Kig-yar Jackal watched the strange silver ball flying through the air and was incinerated into ash at the thermal detonator exploded, killing the Jackal-Hunter kill team in the hallway. Jeff and Gary lit up another Alderaan cigarello to help them chill out after their encounter with hostile Covenant forces. They continued carefully walking down the hallway till they found a door that exited into a large purple-blue hangar.
"Seriously? What's with these guys and the color purple?" Gary asked, looking around the blue-purple hangar.
"I think they love purple just as much the Imperials love grey."
"Well at least they don't have any over waxed floors."
"True. Very true."
Meanwhile, the Doom Slayer continued his onslaught through the long alien corridors on the Truth and Reconciliation. The Covenant soldiers fell before him and the grunts screamed in fear as they ran away with their arms in the air. He continued through the hallway, quickly ducking behind a few covenant weapon containers after hearing loud voices and cussing echoing from down the hall. After waiting for a few minutes the voices grew louder and louder to where he began to see human prisoners of war behind a group of gold plated elites. He silently watched from behind the crates, counting how many covenant troops from Kig-Yar to Elites that were standing guard in the hall. Suddenly, a blue armored plated Sangheli ran up to the leader in the gold armor.
"Captain! Captain! I recivied a communication of two humans in strange white armor prowling around in the vessel." The blue armored Elite spoke.
"How did they get aboard?"
"Unknown Captain, but there's also another who is also prowling on our vessel. Slaughtering our soldiers, leaving rooms and corridors only drenched in both blood and slaughtered bodies."
"A Demon."
"Rightfully so, Captain. A Unstoppable one."
"Unstoppable? We'll see how unstoppable he is." The Gold plated Elite said, waving his fist in the air for a pair of Hunters. "Go! Find this Demon and bring him to me!" He ordered the pair.
The Doom Slayer watched them from behind the crates, switching to his rocket launcher he locked on one Hunter and fired. The Hunter turned into a fine orange mist catching them by surpise.
"Kill the Demon!" The Gold Elite yelled.
The Covenant prison guards charged at the Doom Slayer. Expecting to be an ordinary Demon they've encountered before, but quickly regretted it as the Doom Slayer rip and tore the Hunter's shield arm out from it's socket to only impale the Hunter into the wall with it's own shield. The Elite Captain roared in anger, turning on his energy sword. The Doom Slayer pulled out his lightsaber and turned it on, showing the dark red blade. The Doom Slayer stood his ground, waiting for the perfect time to strike as the Elite charged at him.
Captian Keyes and his three Marine bodyguards heard the ruckus going on outside. "Hey? Look." A Marine POW whispered after hearing a door sliding open. He looked out from his cell to witness the Elite guards being torn in half by an unknown figure. Captain Keyes watched the calm figure as it quietly touch the holopanel, shutting down the barriers to the cells.
"Thank you for releasing us, soldier. You may not be UNSC, but you handle yourself in combat well. Would you care to join us? We'll pay you hansomely for your services if you help us get out of here." Cpt. Keyes offered as he held out his hand.
The Doom Slayer silently nodded yes in agreement, shaking Captain Keyes hand, then quickly switched to his double barrel shotgun and blasted a Stealth Elite in the chest as a Covenant Spec Ops squad entered the prison block. The Doom Slayer silently signaled the Captain to get behind them and the three marines to the back to protect Captain Keyes from fire before diving into the fight.
Making their way through the alien corridors, the Master Chief entered through a pair of doors to find a large hangar empty but covered in severed bodies of evey covenant soldier alike scattered around the hangar.
"What happened here?" Cortana wondered.
The Chief walked deeper into the hangar, then looked up at a wall with a Hunter's shield and four Elites impaled into it. He looked at it, tried pulling the shield out quickly realizing that it won't budge. The Chief heard a few sneers and whistles from behind as Sgt. Johnson's Marines rushed into the room to secure the area.
"Whoa. Hey Chief? Nice work." One of the Marines said, looking around the slaughterhouse.
"I don't think this was him."
"Of course it was. Look."
"Negative Corporal, it was like this when we arrived." Cortana replied.
"Could it be another Spartan?" The Master Chief asked.
"Negative Chief. I'm not picking up any UNSC Neural lace IFFs, only the Captain's CNI transponder. Hmm, although I'm picking up heavy Covenant comm traffic. Something about a green armored demon with unstoppable power armed with a machine with moving blades." Cortana explained.
"A machine with moving blades. Wait a minute, a chainsaw? Who the fuck would be crazy enough to assault a Cove battlecruiser only armed with a chainsaw?" A Marine bickered, until shushed by Sgt. Johnson after hearing voices echoing in the large hangar. "Marines! We've got company!".
"Nah bro I think these strange looking rifles are far more superior than our DC-15As." Gary said, defending the plasma rifle.
"I agree it burns through armor and more accurate than Blast-tec E-11s, but there's no way to recharge it any way. Once it's out, it's out. As in with a DC-15A, the clip is empty, just load in another." Jeff argued back.
"Hmm, we must be in a hangar." Gary suggessted after looking at two large blue plasma barriers, exiting out the purple corridor.
"Finally. Now we're getting somewhere other than another fucking maze of purple hallways." Jeff said.
"Eww, well our freind was recently here." Gary said after stepping into a vicerated body of a gold-plated Elite.
"Oh yeah the blood really matches the purple." Jeff giggled.
"Hey? Did you hear that?" A UNSC Marine asked.
"Stow it, Corporal."
"Yeah, it sounded like one of us. By the way, does anyone smell that?"
"Hey Marines! Stow it!" Sgt. Johnson barked.
"Naw, it's not one of Sarge's cigars." Another UNSC Marine as he picked up the strange wiff as it floated around the air. "Wait a minute... That's weed, it's strong too." The Marine spoke.
"Gary! You're going to give away our position!" Jeff yelled at Gary.
"Oh yeah? What about your yelling? Wouldn't the armed soldiers below hear us?" Gary asked, quickly dodging into cover from incoming fire as UNSC Marines fired towards his position.
"Slugthrowers?" Jeff questioned as he hid behind a pillar. *"PEW"!* "Oh shit! How did those aliens find us!" Jeff yelled after a plasma bolt whizzed by his head.
"Fuck! I thought we've gave these guys the slip!" Gary yelled, firing his plasma rifle back at oncoming Covenant.
The Master Chief and his group of UNSC Marines fired their M5SB Assault Rifles at the oncoming Covenant who were trying to take back the hangar from them. He tossed a frag grenade over from cover, hearing a explosion and screams of Grunts.
"Chief. You'll won't believe this. I'm picking up the Captain's CNI transponder heading toward our position! I'm contacting Foe Hammer to come pick us up." Cortana yelled while the Chief continued firing at the incoming Covenant.
"Negative Cortana. I've been engaged by Cove Air patrols and I'm having a tough time shaking them. You'll have to find another way. Sorry." Foe Hammer replied to Cortana's SOS.
"Air support is a little tight, Chief. I need you to interface with that console so we can use that Covenant dropship to escape once the Captain gets here. Go." Cortana ordered the Chief.
The skirmish in the hangar grew increasingly worse as the Covenant busted down the doors leading into the hangar bay. Soon the Doom Slayer and Captain Keyes made it to find the hangar bay filled with chaos. The Doom Slayer and Captain Keyes's squad caught the Covenant by surprise as the busted down the door to the floor. After interfacing the console, the Master Chief quickly noticed the Covenant ontop were being quickly decimated by an unknown force. Looking up, he sees a seven foot juggernaut armed with a double barrel shotgun and holding the spine of a recently slained Sangheili in the other.
"Who is that?" Cortana asked, watching the juggernaught slaugter through a few Unggoy and Kig-yar. "Hmm... You might have some competition, Chief." Cortana giggled.
"Let's get out of here first. Then you can ask all the questions you want." The Chief spoke, as he rounded up his UNSC Marines back towards their Covenant dropship.
"The coast is clear, bro! Let's go!" Jeff yelled to Gary, tapping his shoulder.
"Chief! Hunters!" One of the Marines yelled.
As the Chief pulled out his sidearm to engage the Hunter duo. The Doom Slayer surprised him by stomping onto the back of one the Hunters. Catching the other by surprise as the Doom Slayer proceeded to slice the Hunter quickly in half with a strange weapon that made the Chief jealous with curiosity. With Jeff and Gary right behind, the Doom Slayer gave them covering fire as they all jumped into the dropship before it took off. Rushing into the hangar with a energy sword in hand. Shipmaster Lat Ravamee witnessed his stolen shuttle flying out of the hangar of the Truth and Reconciliation.
