The heat was no good for an accomplished warlord chieftain like Vectus, it wasn't like his abode back home, but it was good enough for a hiding spot while the search for him and his raiding party died down. He had stolen a merchant freighter and blackmailed the crew to move his equipment and party undetected to Glyke.
The raid was almost successful, incredibly so, thanks to himself, his information gathering, and 『Big Blast Sonic』.
The incredible power of his gifted weapon, looked something similar to the Beam Rifles snipers use, but that was not the case, its appearance had little audio knobs and tiny screens that showed the chosen frequency loaded into the Stand, which is then used to ultimately amplify or soften the noise completely. It had a screen that showcased how much sound should be used on an opponent to kill them or knock them unconscious. It even had a full auto and a triple fire feature so he could go crazy if he wanted to.
When he tested it on his foes, It cut a path to his objectives by completely utilizing soundwaves to such an extreme that it melted his enemies' eardrums and destroyed the brains with varying amounts of struggle from his foes.
But with all the power that Vectus held, it did little to hide from the covenant's wrath, they would be looking for him, this much he knew. Doing his absolute best to hide the bodies of the merchant crew and then position the freighter away from his camp to a nearby oasis on the sandy planet. He had to work with what was given to him by fate.
But he took solace in the possessions he had when the raid was complete.
A Forerunner artifact that held information for his buyer and a hostage, a San'shyuum minor prophet, not a high ranking one, a lowly paper pusher.
But that's when his annoyance began to hit him once again.
'Why would my buyer even want this one? He's not even important enough for a reward!'
Vectus looked at the hostage, their eyes still showing fear, hands tied down, he doubted that the weak being could even walk with how weak and cluttered the prophet was. Then turned to see the artifact in question,
'Hopefully, my buyer can hurry up and get here so I can go into hiding completely, with how much money I was offered, I'll be living the high life without even needing to cause a hassle ever again.' The warlord mused to himself, allowing a toothy grin to appear.
Suddenly, a loud explosion rocketed the camp.
*KABLAM*
The explosion immediately snapped the warlord back into the present, he whipped his head towards the entrance to his tent and saw some of his party brawling with the one group he was worried about encountering
The Covenant had found him and his raiding party, three dropships were firing down on the camp.
EoG
The Phantom's doors opened up, dropping the warriors down to the surface, "warriors! prepare for battle!" the elite ultra called out on the communications tab on Josi's display. The Ultra in question stayed on the phantom in order to rally the two other lances and give them orders.
Preparing himself for the worst, Josi silently activated his stand 『Periphery』, silently. His stand manifesting all over his being, the mollusk-like beings surrounding his arms, latching onto his shoulders and swarming the ground beneath him. Josi's major called his squad out as they moved to more advantageous positions.
"The camp has resistance all across the eastern side, including some stragglers that are coming back to the camp, they were moving supplies to an oasis directly south to where the phantom's landing zone was." the major said, "we caught them by surprise, lances B and C are conjoined in battling the enemy so we are going to assist them by engaging our opponents from behind, in short, it will be a three-way pronged attack, understand?"
"Yes Sir!" the group said in unison, with this the major smiled and told the group to move out as quietly as they can.
They entered the camp from the west and made their way to the center of the camp, no stragglers were found along the way, 'must be trying to punch a hole in the assault so they can escape, but to where?' Josi thought to himself.
As the lance continued, they reached a massive tent with tables and two fire pits with utensils for cleaning and cooking, both fire pits had spitroasts with some kind of doner being cooked, its aroma still being apparent throughout the area, the oddest thing with the mess hall, however, was when one of the grunts in the lance noticed a carving on one of the legs of the table.
The carving showcased a singular grunt being hung high by his legs as two otherworldly beings ripped him limb from limb.
But what really terrified the poor grunt was when he looked closer at the doodle and realized one thing
'Holy CRAP! That guy looks just like ME!'
*KISHAWW*
"BURGEHH!" the grunt flipped onto the ground with its gas tank raised into the air which caused the rest of the grunts to panic as they soon realized what was happening to them.
"Ambush! Take cover, now!" Josi was the first to call out the attack, saying this he kicked the other table to use as cover.
*KISHAWW*
"AIEEE!" another grunt cried in pain as his head exploded with brain matter, and teeth and bone shards flew violently from his body. his body was flown into one of the smaller tents surrounding the larger tent. The rest of the lance bolted for cover, and one of the minors yelled out to Josi.
"Where are they!?, do you know from where the sniper is hitting us!" following the minor's callout, a fluctuation of noise and air nearly hit the minor in the face.
Josi yelled back to the other Sangheili with confusion "from one of the tents behind us! How can you all not hear that awful noise!"
*KISHAWW**KISHAWW**KISHAWW*
As Josi said this, three rounds were fired aimed straight at him, ripping right through the table and hitting him. Two on his torso and one hit his right thigh.
"Aghh!" Josi's pained yell filled the air.
"Open Fire!" the major yelled as all of the warriors of the lance opened fire on all of the tents near the mess hall, ripping burn holes into the tents.
*KISHAWW*
The invisible bullet fired, hitting the major square in the chest and breaking his shields altogether. At seeing this unfold the grunts went into a panic and fled the scene together with their hands in the air.
The three Sangheili tried as best they could to find the sniper but to no avail, the shooting suddenly stopped, and they then heard pained screams from beyond their location. The yells were numerous until they were no more, then something was thrown at the three elites.
A spitroast rod, containing the heads of the unggoy from their lance was thrown at their feet then a roar came from somewhere unknown to the three
"Surrender! And I'll make sure you're deaths are at the very least honorable for warriors like yourselves!" as the assailant of the assault on Lance A showed himself, the target of the operation.
Vectus revealed himself hiding in a collapsed tent that had been torn up and had burn marks all across his being. His chieftain armor was a mixture of turquoise and yellow with silver medallions hanging from his warrior skirt, his chest, being the centerpiece of his armor had the Sangheili symbols for 'Born To Kill' sprawled across it in a Bright yellow paint, he also had his hair done to accentuate his dreds so he ditched the helmet.
The elites didn't show their fear, they would've rather killed themselves, but facing someone who completely eradicated the lance that was full three minutes ago made them tense up against the aggressor.
The major, with his shields fully recharged and out of plans looked at the brute square in the eyes and roared, "I'd rather die!" he pulled out one of two plasma grenades and nudged at the two minors giving them a signal.
The three bolted towards him, the two minors flanked his left and right while the major charged right down the center, with this the chieftain kicked up a tent support beam with his left foot and hucked it towards the left elite, hitting him on the side of his torso, crashing his assault with a pained yelp.
"Urgh!" the minor crashed onto the sand, the chieftain then aimed his 『Big Blast Sonic』towards the major and fired three times, all three hit him on his left leg, the first shot broke the shields, the second shot broke the armor and the final hitting him right in his left leg, shattering the bone as pieces of it flew violently from his leg, causing more damage.
"Graaah!?" the major roared in pain causing him to drop the plasma grenade without detonating it. Vectus then turned to the minor on the right, the minor in question had his wrist-mounted energy blade activated and swung right at him, The chieftain parried the assault and pushed the elite down and kicked him square on the teeth and launched him in the air, knocking the minor out completely.
"Gabuhh!-uhh…" the assault ended in complete failure, the brute had swiftly ended the counterattack, the major was stunned by this development, the brutes' shadow fell on him, the chieftain was looking around the battlefield before looking down on the elite again "I warned you! Didn't I?" the brute began continuing his surveying once more before making his leave, Vectus hoped none of his raiding buddies got wiser and simply abandoned them 'one, two, three…' he counted the elites before he realized something was wrong.
One of the Sangheili is gone!
The brute picked the major up by the neck and growled "Where's the fourth! What happened to the fourth one!" the major could only cough and growl back before the worst happened to the warlord.
A small metallic mollusk-like creature had crawled right on his forearm, the creature then opened its frontal plates to reveal its attack, a beam shot out of its core, completely rupturing Vectus's right eye!
The chieftain threw the major back down to the sand with a pained yell then a growl.
"WHAT!?"
Authors Notes
This Chapter took a lot longer to plan out, between designing Vectus himself and the battle. But it was super fun, I can absolutely see the appeal in writing these stories, Vectus's stand namesake is based on the GUILTY GEAR Xrd soundtrack called Big Blast Sonic, give it a listen if you are interested in that. Also if you would like to see the character sheet for Josi, please let me know and I will post that too!
