The alarm sounded and he heard running, arming a plasma grenade which glowed a bright blue in his hand he threw it toward the open doorway while ducking out of the Shades turret fire. Jackals appeared in the door just as the grenade went off, body parts covered the area as he waved the Grunts toward the entrance firing at the nearest Shade gun manned by a Brute at the time. The Plasma bolts melted the Shades purple armor then he too dashed up the ramp followed by the other Elite and inside where the Grunts were battling more Jackals. The rest of the Brutes were obviously higher up in the tower guarding the main control structure.
He scooped a Needler off the floor into his free hand and fired both it and his emptying Plasma Rifle toward the Jackals looking for any weak points in the shields, some of his Needlers managed to soar over the shields and into their users and exploded through out the ranks. Many of the tightly packed forces died as thin undetectable by the eye crystal pieces flew into their throats and faces causing blood to splatter across the floor. Plasma grenades were thrown into the remaining forces one sticking to a Jackal who stood and ran in circles before exploding fiercely and killing some of his comrades.
Leaving the Grunts to fight the Jackals he ran up the
stairs kicking a Jackal in his way managing to send it through a window.
Heading toward the next stairs he saw a single Brute without a weapon at
the bottom. It growled at him and charged not in a berserk state but in
an attempt to stop him. He was quicker then the Brute and swung around
it as it swung its massive arm toward him, fires the Plasma Rifle point
blank into its back along with the Needler, then feels points of heat on
his back as his shield flickered around him, turning he fired toward the
Brute wielding its own Plasma rifle. The Needler ran empty and he
dropped it and his Plasma rifle was on dangerously low levels, feeling a
arm across his legs he drops, his shields overloaded from the sheer
force of the attack.
He grimaces his armored head smacking
off the cold, rock floor. Rolling as more plasma was sent his way he
thrust his feet out into the Brute who swept his feet out knocking it
back against the wall. Using his free arm he pushed up crushing the
Plasma rifle against the Brutes armored head plate but with enough force
to dent it and shatter its skull, as it fell he threw the crackling
Plasma rifle at the other Brute which was about to go berserk. His
weapons remaining battery life exploded at it hit the Brutes chest the
ball of blue engulfing the body and melting armor into skin. The scream
of the Brute made him flinch as the ball faded the body dropped to the
ground. The stench of burnt hair, melted metal and boiled blood filled
his senses as he picked up the Brutes discarded Plasma rifle and moved
past the body up the stairs.
Seeing no more Brutes he headed to the balcony facing the entrance. Outside was the Shade he has fired on and a Jackal guarding the other doorway, the Brute in the gun didn't notice as he moved stealthily to the Jackal and grabbed it from behind covering its mouth and snapping it neck, its shield disappeared as he primed another Plasma grenade, throwing it lightly just behind the Shade gun he ducked into the hallway hearing it explode and a roar of pain then silence. Moving cautiously he heard footsteps, moving into the shadows he watched a very frightened Jackal come from the other balcony entrance. Watching it he waited being a patient Elite.
As the Jackal surveyed he thought of
the moments leading to this point. His training beginning at age 3 to
become a fierce warrior, slaying his first enemy at 15 as a trainee.
Slaying his first human in the battle of Reach before being sent on a
ship as a clean up crew for one of the Covenants prized Halos. He had
heard the rumors about the Demon, a green armored human with strength
and ability equal to that of a Gold Elite. He himself didn't not hate
the Demon with the fierceness it seems all the other Elites had shown.
The Human was merely doing his job, defending himself and other humans
against the enemy. Its what the Elites were doing as well. He had been
on High Charity when the Prophets declared that Brutes were going to be
taking over the Elites positions. So what had he done? Like the rest of
the Elites revolted until the parasite had gotten near then escaped on
the Covenant cruiser ''Honorable Goddess''. Now he was fighting the
Civil war while the battle with the humans still raged on Earth.
The Jackal moved toward the other
balcony after not being attacked, it was back into its false state of
security and before it had known it had happen its neck was snapped like
its fellow Jackals and it was dead, he glanced around the corner seeing
the other Brute in the turret aiming for the sky. Throwing another
Plasma grenade he stuck it to the Brutes head almost laughing as it
floundered around inside the gun before exploding the gun itself being
torn apart and flung off the ledge down into the crashing purple sea.
Walking he found the stairs leading to the controls. Hearing
arguing he moved slowly on one side, he could feel his heart beat faster
then heard a crash and a Brute thrown into the wall cracking it a Plasma
bolt fired hitting its face and melting the skin and killing it.
Glancing around the corner slowly he saw a Brute working hurriedly on
the controls. Two Jackals stood as guard both nervous after seeing the
death of the other Brute.
Priming his last grenade he chucked it toward the Brute, it landed
near the Brute and exploded through it to the side both Jackals
screaming as they smacked against the wall then died from the force.
Cautiously he moved foreward hearing movement still. The Brute came into
view, its eyes stared at him.
''I am Rakatsu, and your time is up you scum of the Covenant'
The Brute spat as blood dripped from its burned left arm which held an
energy sword a weapon not usually common with the Brutes.
''Unfortunately for you I won't be as easy to kill as your fellow Brute. As I have the honor of the Swalaka line in me.'' Naiklamuu said as he raised his weapon and fired three plasma bolts toward Rakatsu.
Rakatsu nimbly dodged and rushed him bringing the sword back, he was fast for a Brute probably because of the lack of his helmet and leg armor. Blocking the sword the only way he could in the small hallway he swung his rifle into the blade the plasma fields around each holding before the swords stronger force cut through it. Taking this time Naiklamuu kicked foreward his powerful leg landing a blow to the Brutes upper leg causing it to stumble. Pushing it back with his hand he grabbed the hand holding the sword and forced it down. Rakatsu pulled with his arm trying to get mobility back and took a swing at Naiklamuus head. Catching the fist with his other hand Naiklamuu began to push trying to force the Brute back into the control room.
''You can't defeat me in sheer strength you pathetic piece of slime,'' Rakatsu grunted as he to pushed back though it seemed more a stalemate at the time.
''I don't have to,'' Naiklamuu growled out back before releasing the fist and putting all his strength into the other arm and fluidly cut off Rakatsus left leg causing the Brute to lose balance and fall backwards. The sword managed to hit his shield and flicker it as it then to clattered to the ground and went out.
Looking at the Brute he spoke, ''May the gods have mercy on your soul you traitor.'' With that he stomped downward on Rakatsus neck holding it there until the Brute stopped moving, then to make sure he dragged the body to a long doorway leading to a shattered balcony and threw it out with a grunt toward the solid ground 2 stories below.
Speaking through his communications system he informed the remaining forces, which included the other Elite whose name he was going to get afterwards due to the Elites skill shown that the controls were secure and that for the Honorable Goddess to come into the atmosphere and set up a base here. Looking out toward the slowly setting sun over the vast ocean he sighed lowering his shields feeling successful.
