Halo: Covenant Split
Chapter 1: Regroup-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The gold armored Elite titled 'Leormee fired his Carbine's last few rounds into a Flood combat form. The parasite gave a deep moan and fell to the floor, dead. 'Leormee tossed his weapon aside and began to look for another. To his luck, a Plasma Rifle lay several feet from him. As he picked it up the door behind him hissed open revealing an Elite, his armor covered in green gore.
" My name is 'Asammee, former Honor Guard." The newcomer said as he hand polished his guard armor.
" I am 'Leormee. What are you doing here?" 'Leormee asked, quite puzzled at the moment.
" I have been ordered to search for any survivors… and you are the first." 'Asammee replied sadly.
" Who is in charge?"
" Juke 'Neelmee, a Spec Op Elite. We have rounded up about thirty Elites and fifty Grunts."
" Any Hunters?" 'Leormee questioned quickly.
" Only two, each have some bad injuries. We should be going before more of the Flood return. My Plasma Rifle is almost depleted and your's must be also."
'Leormee checked the Rifle, 24. " Yes, I am ready." Both of the warriors left the blood splattered room with only on thing on their mind's. Vengeance.
They spent ten units running through the halls of High Charity when they arrived. 'Neelmee spun quickly aiming both his Needler's at them. With a sigh of relief, he brought the guns down to his waist.
" Glad to see you have returned safely 'Asammee and you have found someone." He said while walking towards them. 'Leormee bowed with his hands outward as 'Neelmee did the same. " I am 'Leormee, commander."
" I am sure 'Asammee has already told you about me." 'Neelmee said glaring at ' Asammee from the corners of his eyes. " Yes I have, commander."
" Good, very good. Now follow me and we will get you some supplies."
'Leormee followed 'Asammee and 'Neelmee to a large group of Grunts, who surrounded several cargo modules. " KiKip and FaFan bring me two Carbines, sixteen plasma grenades, and two Plasma Rifles." 'Neelmee ordered. The Grunts all stood and left accept KiKip and FaFan. " We're on it." They both squeaked in a high tone.
'Leormee looked through the Carbine scope. Perfect, no smudges. He thought to himself when 'Neelmee jumped onto a cargo module. All of the remaining Grunts, Hunters, and Elites turned to view their leader. 'Neelmee clicked his mandible's as he tried to smile and began to talk.
" The Prophets have betrayed us, lied to us, and stole our honorable position of Honor Guard. We had to watch the Jiralhanae put on our armor taking away the pride that took so long to obtain!
Now the Prophets have kicked us out and left us behind! I shall not stand for this. Come, come and help me in the destruction of the Prophet. Come and help me stop the Great Journey. Come and help me bring pride and honor back to our races!"
A roar of applause and cheering arose from the crowd. The Hunters rose their shield's and bellowed deeply. The Grunts squawked and barked in approval but the speech had the biggest affect on the Elites. They began to recite a battle cry, in their own language. ' Leormee shouted the cry as it rolled through his head.
The Elites finished as a low hum began, which sounded like a Phantom. The roof above them exploded, showering them with debris. Four Phantoms slowly lowered themselves into the room with their plasma turrets glowing purple on the tips. A human dropped from one followed closely by an Elite. Every alien in the room aimed at the human when the Elite shouted to stop. Confused, 'Leormee loosened his grip on the Carbine's trigger. 'Neelmee squinted at the Elite thinking why he would protect the human when he noticed who the Elite was.
