A/N:I don't own any elite stuff or any of the RVB quote like things. Have fun reading.
Chapter 12
"Man why didn't we bring a ghost?" Erbl 'Irgus complained as he and the rest of the team walked down the canyon.
"Ghosts, why would we want ghosts? Why not a shadow?" Ckbl 'Misod said looking to the orange armored elite.
"Yeah, but ghosts look cooler." Sibl 'Cuted interrupted. "You can't pick up chicks in a shadow."
"What chicks? Onbl is the only girl here and a ghost isn't going to impress her." Rdbl 'Uncol growled at the teal elite.
"Yeah, vehicles don't mean much to me. Now weaponry would be important." Onbl 'Xetul said with a huff.
Sibl paid the female elite no mind and continued on. "Oh but you could get some cool neon lights and spinner rims. Then you'd have one sweet ass ride." Sibl said as sounding quite pleased with the idea.
"Ghosts don't have wheels. Spinner rims wouldn't even belong on one." Ckbl snapped at Sibl.
"Whatever." Sibl said waving off Ckbl's words of logic.
"I think a ghost would be great if they were visible." Sebl 'Aetor spoke up very confident in his idiotic statement.
"Ghosts are visible." Inbl 'Nodad said turning to the blue elite looking very confused.
"Ghosts aren't visible. If they were then I would have to wash my feet every day." Sebl said huffing at Inbl. The other elites all turned to look at the incoherent elite. None of them could make heads or tails of the comment. They were all so engrossed in the comment that Erbl and Ckbl ran into the back of Ckje.
The fleet master growled at the two minor elites. He then turned his attention back to his radio. "Say that again." He requested.
"I said we've identified a forerunner structure about 10 miles south west of your position." Stpe 'Aewas said over the radio. "A phantom will arrive shortly to pick up you and your troops and take you to the location. You are to check it out and be sure that it is clear of any loyalists, flood, or dangerous tech." The shipmaster ordered.
"Understood." Ckje replied before turning off his radio. The fleet master turned to his troops. "Listen up, we have a new job. A phantom will be here shortly to pick us up and take us to a forerunner structure that has been discovered near by." He informed them.
"Forerunner? Like THE forerunners? The giant ring forerunners?" Erbl asked obviously not happy with the idea.
"Yes, the only forerunners we know of." Ckje snapped at the orange elite. "Now I don't want any screw ups. We may encounter the flood or loyalists. Let us pray that we find neither and find that this structure has no connection with the halos. Be ready though to have those situations prove true." He warned as the phantom slowly lowered to the land behind him. Once the troops were safely aboard the phantom Ckje gave the go ahead for the pilot to take off. The phantom's engines roared as the ship rose into the air and speed off toward the forerunner structure.
with the stealth griffin squad
Etsul looked at his troops. Their jet black armor was shined and looked brand new. It would be hard to tell that all of the soldiers were veterans of conflict and had proven themselves when the invasion happened. The team of 20 griffins stood checking over their armor and weapons. The stealth commander turned as Rezarun walked into the room. The white griffin stood out among the black fur and feathers of the stealth team.
"Sir." Etsul said standing up taller in front of the commander. "We are ready to head out. We ask for your blessing in our endeavors." Etsul said bowing to Rezarun.
"You have my orders." Rezarun replied. He could not give them the blessing they wished for. He did not have the power to bless a mission that had been condemned by the council. Once they proved that the land beyond the hold ground was habitable then things would change. The old strict ways would be a thing of the past. The hide bound council would be seen for the fools they were and a new age of freedom would begin.
"That is good enough for us." Etsul assured him. The other griffins nodded in agreement wit their commander. "We will carry them out proudly." The stealth elite said before putting on his helmet. The specially designed visor would shield the team's eyes against the light above ground.
"May the gods see you safe." Rezarun muttered as the stealth griffins put on their helmets and got in formation. He was proud to have soldiers like them on his side.
As one the griffins turned and the lines of black griffins marched off down the hallway. The white griffin watched them as they vanished into the shadows in the hall.
Like shadows on the wall the stealth griffins moved silently down the hall. They knew that the guards on the edge of the holy ground would not notice them. For years the team had practiced by sneaking pass the guards, now would be no different.
Etsul crouched flat against the wall hidden by the shadows. He looked over to Aedum able to see him clearly with the night vision setting on his visor. It was something that only his team would ever have. There was no need for the other soldiers to have the night vision. He nodded and his second in command nodded back. After letting the guard pass by the stealth team raced down the hall to an elevator. Once all of the griffins were on board Aedum pressed a symbol on the controls and the elevator sprang to life. The griffins shifted a bit nervous as the elevator rose up. Etsul could not blame them. There was no telling what they would find above ground. He was confident though that whatever they may find his team could beat it. He had seen them fight and had lead them through their many victories against the loyalists when they tried to invade their home. The stealth commander checked his weapon to be sure it was working properly. He knew that it was but he too was worried about what they might find. Etsul took a deep calming breath and readied himself for whatever may happen.
