I'm not allowed to take a break from writing?
Well, here's Chapter 1, it's short and pretty much is telling you where this story is going.
Chapter 1: The Survivor's Revenge
High Councilor D'hy Rozmalee stood in a triangle with Supreme Commanders 'Cmudee and Lorusee.
He began signing the first Canto of the Writ of Union, "So full of hate were our eyes that none of us could see, our war would yield countless dead, but never victory. So let us cast arms aside and like discard our wrath, thou in faith will keep us safe, whilst we find the path."
'Cmudee and Lorusee bowed their heads as Rozmalee finished the good-bye prayer to his fallen brothers. "Rest in pease."
"Rest in peace." The Commanders said in unison.
"Thank you." Rozmalee said. "Now please, leave me."
The two orange armored Sangheili left without another word. In the days since his escape from the Humans' attack on the Councilors Rozmalee and the rest of the Covenant had been in mourning. For some reason, Rozmalee wished that he was dead. He ran like a coward while others were dying.
He looked at the quickly healing wound on his palm. A Human had cut him with a combat knife when his shields were down; he had killed the Human, but after that he ran as fast as he could out of the Council Chamber. He and a few Honor Guards had made it to an escape pod and fled the ship.
He, unlike the dozens of other Councilors made it out alive.
"Councilor?" A Sangheili said over the COM. "Yes, 'Cmudee?"
"I hate to bother you, but we're almost there. We'll be exiting Slipspace in about a unit."
"Thanks."
Rozmalee snapped off the COM channel then headed for the window of his quarters. The flagship, Pious Truth slowed down, he could see the stars, where his fallen brethren now were.
He couldn't dwell on this any longer. It was time for revenge.
"'Cmudee."
"What is it Councilor?"
"When we get to the Human planet, do not glass it. I don't want to give the Humans the luxury of having a quick death. I want to invade."
There was a long pause. "Very well, Councilor."
"And I wish to be the one who leads the capture of the city where the Forerunner artifact is."
Rozmalee marched up to a rock on the edge of the Humancity. He jumped up on top of the rock so the Humans could see him.
"Humans!" He said in their language. "I am Councilor Rozmalee. Because I am generous I am giving you this one chance to surrender."
"What's in it for us!" A Human said.
"Your lives will be spared."
"Sorry, but we don't make deals with split chins."
"Very well. Sangheili!"
Rows of Sangheili walked up to the side of the rock and stopped. The humans looked awe struck at the number of Sangheili.
"Last chance, Humans." Rozmalee said.
One of the Humans started laughing. "As if we'd surrender, you don't scare us."
"Sangheili!" Rozmalee made a fist. "CHARGE!" he roared.
The first row of Sangheili charged, most of them have duel plasma rifles, needlers, plasma pistols or swords.
"Everyone to the wall!" One of the Humans shouted.
A group of Humans ran to the wall and started firing bursts of three projectiles.
Rozmalee held up his hand and signaled for the next wave to move in. In each wave there were at least fifty Sangheili. Twenty blue Sangheili, fifteen red Sangheili and five Zealots made up each wave.
Next for the Special Forces Sangheili. Rozmalee motioned for them to charge and they activated their camouflage and climbed up the wall.
Rozmalee turned back to the vehicles that were waiting patiently in back of the hundreds of Sangheili that had yet to join the battle. He signaled for the Wraiths to fire. A barrage of blue plasma bombs slammed into the wall, melting away the alien metal.
Fifteen units later they had killed all of the humans that were guarding the edge of the city.
Commander 'Cmudee walked up to Rozmalee. "Your battle tactics are amazing, Councilor."
"Thank you. Have my Sangheili broken through the gate to the city yet?"
'Cmudee shook his head. "No, our tanks are working on it, but those doors are thick."
Rozmalee smiled. "Then have our Phantoms lands inside the city."
"That wouldn't work."
"And why not?"
"It's a tight space between those buildings, the humans would just be able to shoot them down with ease."
"Councilor!" A Zealot yelled. "Our Special Forces Sangheili has managed to open the gates."
Rozmalee nodded with approval. He walked up to the open gates, his Sangheili close behind.
He held up his energy sword. "Spare none. Go!"
The Sangheili ran past Rozmalee, killing every Human in their path without mercy.
Funny how a song can inspire something like this...I guess that's what I get for listening to music while I type.
