A Four-Way Battle
As the words left Star's mouth her troops rang out in a deafening roar, and it was Star, Aon and Jack who lead the charge into battle.
Her teal-ringed eyes gleamed with old defiance as she leapt and stood on one of the sentinels that was aiding their fight. She pulled the trigger of her sentinel beam and took out three marines...then two Grunts.
She skimmed over the fighters heads, bellowing orders in their strange new tongue as out of the corner of her eye so watched the doors directly opposite the ones they had come out of. For a compound across the battle field...
Then she glanced back at the weapon she had fashioned and prayed silently, to every God she knew of. Then the doors opened, Fallen Star had unleashed the only barely contained flood upon the war.
Shasic looked at her, just as he struck down two Marines, his dark beetle-black eyes fixed upon her... He knew that look in her eyes...
It was that look that told him she had a plan... but she seemed sad in the way she moved...Even the way she pulled the trigger of her sentinel beam seemed slower, almost half hearted as he mowed down three grunts, Leaping form her sentinels back and bashed in the head of another marine.
The infectious forms scurried through, as well as battle and carrier forms.
She turned and saw that three elites where standing around the weapon, one was roaring at three oncoming marines.
She rushed towards the weapon, hoping to fire it in time. She was almost half-way there when, locked in combat, an Elite charged forward with an energy saber.
The long point that held the aloid that would conduct and channel the plasma energy gleamed in the dim light as in one heart stopping moment the elite leapt at the two guards, who shot him mid air.
But his energy saber spiraled and sliced the long point off.
Star froze.
Master Chief Froze.
Shasic and Acaadna froze.
All sides but the covenant seemed to stop and wheel before Aon roared to Star as she activated et weapon and leapt atop, standing on the two channelers.
"There isn't enough aloid on you! Don't try this, it'll kill you!"
"It'll kill you..."
The words echoed in Star's mind...
In Megan Parker's mind...
But she shouted back just as the weapon activated.
"I'm already dead!"
The blue-white power ripped into her, making her armor glow red hot and she opened her mouth, the plasma burning her skin before she managed to put two hands together before her as if praying and, using the connections he had made, it leapt from her and channeled into all the flood.
They all exploded in a rain of green slime as Star fell from the platform to the ground, eyes shut as blood leaked from beneath her lids...from everywhere...
She could barely hear, she couldn't think nor feel...
So she slept.
"Star!" Shasic roared as he charged forward, throwing his plasma rifle carelessly to one side.
But he was racing the green form of Master chief to the bloody ball curled on et compound floor, her clothes torn and her armor melted to her body.
"What are you doing Human!" Shasic snarled at Master Chief as he bent over Megan... Master Chief's face Plate gleamed as he looked at Shasic.
"Stay away from her if you know what's good for you."
Shasic took no heed as he knelt beside him and his scaly skin ran over Stars crimson painted face.
"I'll take her." Master Chief spoke as he moved to pick her up, but Shasic grabbed his arm.
"No. I will."
"No..."
The whisper was faint and mumbled but the both looked down at her, her skin being almost completely ripped off as she opened eyes that had been warped by plasma energy...bright teal with a light gray pupil.
"No more fighting..."
Shasic and Master Chief looked at each other before, after a nod Master Chief lifted her and he and Shasic ran towards a pelican.
Their peace treaty closing her eyes, and becoming overwhelmed by darkness...
But the war was not over.
