Weren't expecting an update this soon were ya? You thought it would probably take a few more.....months? -_-
Anyways thanks for the reviews, I would like some more (stares accusingly at people who don't review) but I'll make do.
ON WITH THE STORY!
Location: On board Covenant Capital Ship Holy light, in Orbit above planet Novak
Ship Status: Green
Planet Status: Under siege by Covenant Forces
Covenant Forces Status: Withdrawing
To say 'Wighen was unhappy would be an understatement, the best word to describe the normally calm Admiral would be, infuriated.
Never in his whole campaign against humanity had they ever been able to push back his forces, never had he known the taste of defeat, but now he was, and he didn't like it.
The doors to the bridge hissed open as a figure walked in, its cape making a flapping noise as it approached the Admiral.
'Wighen tensed as a hand landed on his shoulder, but relaxed when he turned around and saw who it was.
"My lord you shouldn't startle me like that." The elite said, with a hint of amusement in his voice.
Naruto smiled, and moved his left hand to pick up his helmet that he had placed on the ground and place it in between his arm and torso (A/N:You know in that astronaut sorta way).
"How many times 'Wighen do I have to tell you just call me Naruto, we're friends."
The Elite nodded its head; if its mandible allowed it too it would have smiled.
"So, what seems to be bugging you?" asked the now curious blonde.
"Its these damned humans, they've landed a platoon of their Special Forces on the planets surface, and are now pushing back our main force, and atop of that, the Jiralhanae General was assassinated, and now his pack is running around the surface in a mindless bloodlust." The Admiral slammed his fist on the hologram consol he was looking over.
"Why don't we simply glass the planet, surely this is just a waste of troops and resources." The blonde, covenant, deity asked.
Over the five months that he had been with the Covenant he had learned all of their cultures, tactics, and surprisingly...languages. His knowledge was vast, and rivaled that of the holy scribe that resided in High Charity. For example Naruto learned that the Lekgolo disliked salt VERY much, and made sure too keep any and all sodium based foods and substances away from them.
"The Hierarchs have taken an interest in this planet, they say that there is a holy relic that resides on the surface, but we know not were, there fore all ship to surface bombardment is not allowed." Stated the Admiral.
The blonde became angry, he viewed the Prophets the same way he viewed the Council back when he lived in Konoha, civilians with now knowledge of military tactics meddling in military affairs. Regardless he had to obey, he looked down and began to think of a way that he could over come this problem, then an idea struck him, and looked towards the Admiral his eyes hardened and a smirk on his face.
"'Wighen have two platoons of Spec Ops Sangheli prepped and get me a Phantom prepped for launch I'll go and deal with the problem my self." He spoke as he placed his helmet on his head, a clicking noise heard, a conformation that it had been placed on correctly, and walked off of the command dock heading towards the hangar.
'Wighen nodded and looked towards the communications array and spoke through it, his voice boom across the ship.
" 'Sraom and 'Taham platoons are to report to the hangar bay immediately, be joyous! For our lord and patron has chosen you too stand by his side in combat!"
Location: Hangar bay of Holy light
Naruto face faulted as he heard the small speech his friend just gave, shaking his head and thinking how his friend always had a flare for the dramatics.
He stood in front of the Phantom drop ship, with his arms crossed as he watched the Sangheli fall into formation in front of him.
The two platoon leaders; N'tho 'Sraom and Usze 'Taham walked forward and kneeled in front of their lord, and spoke in unison.
"My lord our men are ready to fight and die for you and the Covenant!"
Naruto rolled his eyes, it was like the Elites enjoyed drama, but smiled none the less at their motivation.
"Good, have your troops board the Phantom, while I go over the battle plan with you two."
The elites nodded and gave off a quick series of barks at the formation of troops, who quickly obliged and started boarding the ship.
Naruto waved over an Ungoy that was carrying a holographic map and handed it to Naruto, the man gave the small creature a quick pat on the head as thanks.
"We'll be inserting here." He pointed at a small blob on the map, when his finger touched it, the map zoomed in to reveal a small base. "This is were they have been firing their artillery from, if we can neutralize that then we can land our Scarabs."
He looked at 'Sraom.
"I'm leaving you and your platoon in charge of taking out the artillery."
"Understood sire."
He then looked at 'Taham.
"You and your platoon are in charge of securing the landing pads, we cant allow them to drop off any reinforcements."
"Yes my lord."
"Ok, 'Sraom once you and your troops have eliminated the artillery I want you to head towards the bases power systems, if we want to escape we'll need those turrets disabled."
The elites nodded and headed towards the drop ship. A thought came to 'Sraom and he turned to address the black armored man.
"My lord, if I may, were will you be during all of this?"
Naruto thought for a second, and then gave his answer.
"Ill be dealing with the Command Post, once I've destroyed their communications and commander the Marines on the base will be left without orders and contact to their allies."
The elite nodded at the brilliance of the plan not really all that surprised, this was after all The Holy Nine Lights.
The three boarded the drop ship and braced them selves in harnesses as the ship pulled out of its dock, and speed towards the planet.
Ok here ya go next chapter will be up in a few days (not going to be working on it tommorow being X-mas and all)
REVIEW PLEASE!!!
