Chapter 1: The Invasion.
Location: Aboard The Ascended Truth; Above the planet Earth.
Date and Time Recorded: October 1st, 2552/ 2130 hours.
Space…vast, cold and empty this it was indeed but however at this moment in time it was far from any of these. Various debris filled the vast emptiness, contradicting this statement as it filled up quickly with the remains of human and covenant vessels alike; The cold of space diminishing due to the immense heat giving off from the plasma turrets which found delight slicing and melting, shattering there opponents vessels. However, the covenant would not find themselves without there own chaos upon there shoulders, cheers from the deepest parts of the human vessels would erupt as MAC rounds shattered alien shields, crushing the soft metal behind it.
Each side would have there own amount of casualties, waves of Seraph's would collide across the blackness of space, engaging there C709 Longsword Interceptor opponents in a glorious displays of light and destruction. Earth would find itself surrounded by more and more Covenant craft, the humans would try to counter, bringing more and more of there own ships about. The Ascended Truth would find itself untouched…for the moment and within the depths of it's innards…The Droc Brothers would find themselves at the door's of a Phantom, a dropship that would take them to Earth and to there greatest battle of there lives.
Binar's attention would come back to reality as his right arm would find itself tugged and jerked at, along with various other amounts of pressure and pulls upon his left arm and shoulder. His anger flared for a second, however it would subside as he gazed upon the fuel rod gun on his right arm. His attention would circle about as he noted the massive shield on his left hand and shoulder.
Ferro would find himself pulled and pushed upon until the eerie green glow upon the silver armament bathed the grunts around him that were directly in charge of applying such instruments. Ferro however was not the one to take these actions lightly, this was evident when his large orange and silver tattered shield smashed across the left side of a random grunt. The blue blood of this being splattering across the shields surface, the grunt would find a nice spot upon the wall…a couple yards away. This would only make all other grunts run for safety.
"Warming up are we?" Binar would ask.
"He pulled when he should have pushed!" Ferro exclaimed.
Binar would only shake his head, the brothers would be the last to board the drop hip, carrying 14 covenant, this ship was quite formidable and delivered a massive payload of troops as well as several plasma turrets. This ship was filled with a assortment of elites and jackals, a few grunts and of course the brothers. The ship was commanded by a red armored elite, a veteran of battle, a few blue armored ones were present as well.
The objective had been given, this ship was to land upon the isle of Island of Zanzibar, according to intelligence this island contained a base; Camp Froman as the humans called it. In the past, this complex was unattended, abandoned; Recently the base had been converted, fortified and filled with the enemy as well as a valuable source of information, a single scientist….this was there objective. Overrun the base, leave no prisoners, except the scientist.
"What do you think of our mission?" Binar would ask his brother, curious due to the fact that a human was needed to be obtained.
"You know fair well what I think…detaining a human…" Ferro's voice would trail off, the very thought of being around a alive one make his blood boil.
A deep laugh would come forth from Binar "Maybe you two can become good friends." The laugh would continue as Binar enjoyed the tease which he used upon his brother.
"Watch your tongue my brother, without my help the humans could easily overrun you1" Ferro would say, not caring who heard this…no other would say anything to them.
"Remember are bet Ferro…about meditation?" Binar would not let his brother forget there deal…he would see it through.
"You might as well see it in your dreams…it will only happen there my friend." Ferro would mimic the same hard laugh, however it would cut shortly as the ship would seal and undock.
A harsh rattle would run throughout the length of the phantom, a human ship had engaged The Ascended Truth. The feeling of moving through free space in such a smaller craft was evident, the red armored elite would make himself present with a hardy "Listen all!"
Due to the fact that all Hunters had a fair amount of respect for the elites, this would be the only reason why the brothers would focus there attention on what this one had to say.
"You know your orders, which come directly from the High Council, let's show them what we can do and the amount of slaughter we can instill within the ranks of the human filth!!" The Grunts would babble back and forth as the Jackals squawked to themselves, the other elites would continue to listen as the brothers did as well.
"Kill all you see, if it is human it will die; However, I shall lead the attack and none shall harm the human that is required for capture…or death will fall upon that being." The red armored elite will shout loudly, due to the fact that a all out war was erupting outside the ship. Done with his briefing he would fall back to his original position, a few more violent shakes would follow as they came within Earths atmosphere without any incidents.
Night was upon this section of Earth, the sea lay underneath the Phantom as it roared across the waters; Around them various other dropships met there fate, the fighters from the opposing force sending there fellow brethren into a watery graze. The Island was only a mere one hundred yards away, covenant had already fell upon it's sandy shores, bodies from both sides were growing into numerous piles. Bullets and plasma were exchanged, a grand show within the night sky.
"FIVE MINUTES!!" the red armored elite yelled.
"To our legacy my brother." Ferro said to Binar.
"To the death of the human race." Binar countered.
Silence would fall and the ship would halt, the ground underneath them coming fast as the sounds of bullets and various other armaments took there toll of the ship. Opening up, the brothers viewed the vast battlefield, the various covenant troops would disembark and fall upon the shore, some meeting there fate with rockets and bullets, some falling in whole and others exploding into pieces and sprays of bright blood; The sound of battle would make the tall, sharp spines upon the brothers rise even higher.
"Bet I get there first kill!!" Ferro yelled.
"Your on!" Binar yelled back.
With that they fell upon the sandy surface, the ship would rise and move off into the darkness; The full moon displaying there bright blue skin along with spots of orange, screams of marines indicating the presence of Hunters would fill the air as everything that they packed was directed upon the two…tonight would be a good night for them.
