Homeworld

Miguel could feel the ship vibrate as it docked. "Time to face the ancients" he thought slightly nervously. He had heard that the ancients had been interested to meet; he had also heard that they were the leaders of the entire Yautja race except for the bad bloods, this concept alone made him nervous. He looked over and spotted his armor, it had been almost completely repaired except for one feature; a large diagonal slash down the chest plate was still there. This slash had been given to him by the queen during their battle and Gro'Kesh had insisted that it be kept as a symbol of his triumph, so Miguel had decided to keep it. As he finished attaching his chest plate and donning his mask Gro'Kesh opened the door and stepped inside. "Time to go" he said in a monotonous voice. Miguel retrieved Black Heart's pendent before he followed Gro'Kesh to the docking bay of the ship and down the ramp.

"God damn, it's hot" he thought slightly disgruntled as he stepped onto the planet surface, but he soon forgot about that as he looked at the landscape. Massive pyramids of mainly Mayan and Aztec were spread out over what looked like hundreds of miles. "So this is a Yautja city?" he thought in amazement. "Follow me and stay close" Gro'Kesh said in a very serious tone. Gro'Kesh proceeded to lead Miguel up the central path to the ancient's temple, Miguel kept silent and dignified but secretly he was in awe. The central path had to be at lest 4 miles long and a quarter mile wide, it was filled with thousands if not tens of thousands of Yautja. As he and Gro'Kesh walked up the path Miguel took notice that he was drawing stares from a number of Yautja in the crowd, whispers started to reach his ears. Miguel ignored them however and just kept on following Gro'Kesh. Miguel also noticed a small number of humans in the crowd; from their cowed and submissive demeanor he could tell they were Eta Gro'Kesh had also been right every single one of them was female and they looked stunned to see him, dressed in full armor and walking next to Yautja arbitrator. Forcing himself to look away, he saw that he and Gro'Kesh had reached the entrance to the temple.

When they reached the temple gate Gro'Kesh turned to look at Young Fury, "the council of the ancients awaits your arrival inside". Young Fury turned and nodded at him, Gro'Kesh couldn't help but feel anxious but he knew Young Fury would be fine. As Young Fury entered the temple the gates shut behind him, Gro'Kesh walked around the temple until he was in its shadow. Spotting the secret door that led to the ancient's armory, he tapped out the code and was admitted inside. Gro'Kesh had personally contacted the ancients the moment the Chiva was over and requested that the ancients construct a set of weapons for Young Fury made from the legendary material. It had taken every ounce of convincing he had but they finally agreed in light of Young Fury's accomplishments and practical purpose. The ancients had said that it would be ready when he arrived so he was here to retrieve it. "The Void Steel will return to the hunt once more" he thought wildly.

Miguel walked was guided by one of the temple guards to the central council chambers. When they reached a set of massive doors, the guard prodded him inside. The room was so massive Miguel would have bet his life that you could have fit a mansion inside of it. In the center of the room was a huge table; seated around this table were what looked like close to thirty Yautja. "So these are the ancients" Miguel thought calmly. Just then one of the ancients stood up and called him over, "Ooman warrior, Young Fury, I am Zo'Chi, high ancient of the council and lord of all Yautja clans. Miguel gave him the Yautja sign of respect before approaching. "Ooman there is much to discuss" but before that you must be blooded, Miguel looked to see that the high ancient was holding the same queen limb that Gro'Kesh had used on his back, the high ancient however used it to burn a different mark into Miguel's left pectoral. "It made sense" Miguel thought, "that's where police have their badges". Taking a seat at the table Miguel looked at the high ancient knowing it was going to be a very, very long day.

"Let us start from the beginning Ooman" the high ancient said as Miguel looked at him to show he was listening. "Gro'Kesh seeks to deploy you on earth and other Ooman populated Chiva planets as a way of hunting the bad bloods in a way they never expected". "I know" Miguel said in a voice that sounded slightly bored. The high ancient ignored him however and continued speaking "we had our doubts but after watching your Chiva and your slaying of Black Heart, we believe Gro'Kesh's idea may be very effective with you as the agent". Miguel was still listening but his mind was starting to wander, forcing himself to continue listening he nodded in agreement to what the high ancient had said. "Also Gro'Kesh has reported something very strange about you; it would seem that your blood and DNA is half Yautja". Miguel's head jolted up as he looked at the high ancient, "guess I shouldn't be surprised, there certainly were signs, my strange colored blood for one thing" he thought sarcastically.

After several more hours of stories about Miguel's strange life story, details of his Chiva, battle with Black Heart and the ancient's plans for him the high ancient finally stood up and spoke. "I think that will be enough for now, you have definitely have earned what will be presented to you". "What does he mean by that?" Miguel thought excitedly. As if reading his mind the high ancient spoke again. Gro'Kesh is awaiting your arrival in our personal armory with your new tools of the hunt. An ancient summoned one of the temple guards and ordered them to lead Miguel to the armory. The guard complied and Miguel followed him.

Upon reaching the armory he saw Gro'Kesh and several elderly Yautja which were obviously the arms and Awu'asa makers. Gro'Kesh smiled as he beckoned him over to the table. Miguel let out small gasp as he saw the weapons arrayed out n the table. "Damn those look lethal" he thought jovially. A pair of mauls, a combi-stick, a pair of shurikens, a double edged glaive, and a set of wrist blades was laid out expertly; as for all of the weapons; both their blades and frames were as black as a void and on some part of the blade or frame of the weapon was a Yautja inscription, the inscription was blood and stuck out in the black weapons like a crimson star in space. "There extraordinary" Miguel said in amazement. Gro'Kesh smiled as he looked at Miguel again. Since it is likely that the bad bloods will have tech scanning capabilities having normal Yautja weaponry would make you stick out like a sore thumb". Miguel raised an eyebrow in confusion, Gro'Kesh grinned before continuing. "Because of this problem I have requested that the ancient's armorists make you a set of weapons made out of our rarest and strongest metal". Miguel still looked confused so Gro'Kesh decided it was better to keep talking. "The black metal is called Void Steel and where it is mined is the most closely guarded secret of the ancients, there is very little of this metal in the universe, less is in possession of the ancients and none of it is in the form of weapons as all is held in reserve because of its great worth, that is why you must guard these with your life. "Why is the metal that valuable apart from its rarity" Miguel asked inquisitively. "Void steel is many times stronger than ordinary Yautja steel, also there is the main reason I had these weapons made for you, Void Steel is undetectable by any Yautja tech scan so you can be scanned by any Yautja and no void steel weapon would be detected, it is also impervious to hard meat acid. Miguel cracked a grin "deception on a whole new level" he thought slyly. As Miguel looked at the inscription on each weapon he noticed that the symbol sequence was the same on each weapon. "What does it say?" Miguel asked. Gro'Kesh gazed knowingly at him before saying in a mystical tone "to all those who dishonor the Yautja, I am The Black Warrior".

As Gro'Kesh observed as Young Fury slid the wrist blades onto his right wrist and extended them, swelling with pride at the sight of the two jet black blades that looked as if they could cut through the toughest Yautja armor but he wasn't finished yet, he handed Miguel a wrist computer made from the same material as his weapons. "There is one more thing you will need Young Fury" he said in a tone of deep excitement.

Miguel looked up from admiring the wrist blades and computer to let Gro'Kesh know he was listening. "The Yautja mask vision modes are how we tell the difference between the bad bloods we are looking for and hunters on the hunt through use of the neural vision mode, also we use the tech vision mode to see how they are equipped and to see hard meat." Gro'Kesh stopped for a moment to make sure Miguel was listening when Miguel nodded at him to continue. "Obviously you wearing a Yautja mask will be a dead giveaway to not only the bad bloods but also the Oomans, so to correct this problem I had the technicians design this for you". Miguel looked at what Gro'Kesh was presenting him and almost laughed. "Sunglasses" Miguel said in a tone that suggested that he was about to fall over laughing. Gro'Kesh ignored him however and continued talking. "This Ooman device, sunglasses as you call them had been modified to allow you to see in the same Yautja vision modes that you would in a mask but without alerting the Oomans like a mask would, Try them" Gro'Kesh added sternly. Reaching up Miguel took of his mask and placing it on the table, picked up the sunglasses; they looked kind of like the sunglasses Neo wore in the Matrix. Placing the sunglasses on, he turned to Gro'Kesh "how do they work" he asked, "They will change modes based on the electrical impulse in your brain, so think of the mode you would like to see and it will change to that mode". Miguel shrugged but decided to give it a try, "thermal mode" he thought skeptically, his vision instantly changed from normal to a blue readout "hey cool" he said aloud. Gro'Kesh grinned before saying "the clan is almost finished here; we will soon be heading out". Miguel returned the grin he was looking forward to using these new weapons on some bad bloods. Mounting the rest of his weapons onto his armor, he proceeded to walk out with Gro'Kesh at his side.

As Miguel boarded the clan ship he looked out again at the vast Yautja city, He suppressed a sigh of relief, it had been a good few days in the Yautja city, Meeting with the ancients at the temple, receiving his weapon and then after locking the void steel weapons except for his wrist blades and computer, celebrated with Gro'Kesh by getting hammered on some kind of Yautja liquor. Gro'Kesh had left him for a time during thier stay to go see his mates, apparently he had several. "He's one horny bastard" Miguel reflected. However on the whole he was glad he was leaving, he could now do what he had come with the Yautja and trained to do, hunt the bad bloods. When he got to his room he took of the wrist blades and computer, setting them on the new weapon rack with the rest of his new weapons. Then he quickly stripped off his armor and hung it with his mask. "Time to show the bad bloods the new face of fear" he thought before a voice came out over his COM, he recognized the voice as belonging to Gro'Kesh. "Young Fury, meet with the rest of the arbitrators in the elders personal meeting room to be briefed on your first assignment" jumping up off his bed he proceeded to his door, it slid shut behind him and he locked it with a voice command, he then, hastening to the meeting room he lit up with excitement. "Time for my date with destiny" he thought happily.
