Sacred Ring World Halo
The arbiter opened his eyes ,the voice of a human waked him from his slumber.
''Arbiter ,Arbiter,can you hear me''-Cortana yelled in his head, The arbiter could detect some despair in her voice. The arbiter shock his head and standed in his feet.
''At last are you alright,can you move''
''Of course, this is nothing compared to a pod insercion''-The arbiter responded,he tried to remember what had happened, the escape pod was speding too fast and the shields faded as they entered the atmosfere, he could recall all the grunts inside scream in fear , but the elites stood with bravery.
The elites, had they survived the landing, he saw grunt and elite bodies lying on the floor- ''The others ,the impact, most of the passengers died,there's nothing we can do''
''Most of them?´´-the arbiter asked and cortana motioned outside, 2 elites and a grunt patroled, the arbiter noticed the grunt had a broken leg. The arbiter came out of the pod and a red armor elite ran towards him.
''Arbiter we made it to the ring ,but most of our companions died in the crash , we must find our brothers at once''
''Warning Im detecting multiple human dropships as well as HEV pods coming in, I recommend moving towards those hills,If we get lucky the humans will believe everyone aboard died when they crashed''-Cortana said by the comm.
''Nonsense, we will stay and fight those weak humans ,right arbiter''-The red elite said. The arbiter also wanted to get payback for the human attack above the ring but first he thought about his companions ,so he motioned towards the blue armor elite.
''You carry the grunt to the hills and take your particle beam,the grunt cant fight as well but he can still use arm weapons, kill any human in sight''.-The blue elite nodded and carried the grunt to his back. Then the arbiter motioned towards the red elite. ''You will stay here and assist me''-The red elite made a salute and gathered weapons from their fallen comrades, he picked up a carbine , dual plasma rifles and 3 plasma grenades, the arbiter grabbed dual needlers and his plasma sword as well as 4 grenades.
''You know the humans outnumber you 3 to 1''-Cortana said to the arbiter by his private comm.
''Don't worry ,we will level our odds''-The arbiter said as a pelican appeared by the radar, the bay opened before the pelican landed so that the marines fired to the ground ,but the arbiter threw 2 plasma grenades, one stuck to a marine and the other landed close to the cockpit,then the arbiter was glad to hear the familiar scream of a human blowing apart,the pelican crashed and killed most of the humans ,only 4 marines remained.
''See''-The arbiter told cortana as he fired upon the humans, a marine's head popped as the sniper elite took him out ,the red elite fired his carbine but the humans took cover near the crashed pelican.
''This is eco 419 does anyone read me,we were ambushed by covenant troops and we need reinforcements now''-The human yelled by the comm, and the arbiter heard him, he knew if more troops attacked them they would be lost ,so he decided to eliminate them before he could get a signal,the red elite understood and wielded dual plasma rifles and opened fire , the arbiter cloacked and wielded plasma sword in hand ,he surrounded the pelican and slashed 2 marines.
''Please don't kill me''-The human pleaded the arbiter as he dropped his battle rifle,the arbiter had pity on such coward human but he remembered they were at war as well as their coward attack on Erebus, each time the humans defeated a covenant planet,they bombarded it with neutron bombs, nothing survived the vicious attack, so the arbiter sliced his head in a clean cut.
''Well done mighty arbiter,but we must continue to find our brothers ''-The red elite said to him as they gathered the weapons they could carry and headed out, as for their deceased brothers they could only dispose of their bodies so that the humans didn't desacrated them,they threw plasma grenades to the pod and it lighted up in a blue light. Ever since they arrived the arbiter didn't noticed that they had landed on a desert plateau.
''This is gonna be a hell of a walk''-Cortana motioned the arbiter who had no choice but to move on.
The Truth and Reconciliation crashlanded opposite to his crew,in an ice plateau ,only the Prophet of Peace , 10 honor guards, 2 hunters and 8 jackals were on board, he boarded his personal phantom and headed out with an escort of 4 banshees, when a new target appeared in the radar.
''Holy one ,the humans have sent 3 longsword fighters to pursue us,our banshees are no match for them but we will do all in our power to stop them,you head out and escape''-An elite barked by the comm.
''Do what you must , your sacrifice will not be forgotten''-The Prophet said by the comm ,and was relieved he had escape the human's hand,but those thought were thrown aside as additional contacts appeared by the radar, 4morefighterspursue them.
The arbiter and his companions walked for about 10 minutes in the blazing sun, the arbiter was getting tired of the constant complains of the injured grunt.
''We all heard you the first 5 times unggoy, we are also thirsty so be quiet, you are the one not walking remember''-The blue elite barked to the grunt who remained quiet.
''But Im still thirsty''-The grunt said to himself.
''I heard that''-The elite yelled ,but was cut of by the arbiter as he heard plasma and bullet shots not far away.
''Think they'res allies north''-Cortana said.
''Only one way to find out''-The arbiter said as he and the red elite ran towards the fight, the blue elite also ran but he had a heavy load in his back. Upon arrival the arbiter found a piramid structure in which 4 elites 5 jackals and a bunch of grunts defended themselves from marines. He drew his carbine and began shooting them , he motioned to the left by his radar and stuck a plasma grenade to a human who tried to get him in the back ,then he quickly kicked the human to the nearest human concentration and they went out in a blue flash, he then with the help of his comrades finished of the remaining humans as the grunts and jackals began yelling his name in cheers, one white elite commander approached him as the other two elites took the injured grunt to safety.
''Good to see you again,I was beginning to doubt the mighty arbiter''-The white elite said.
''Good to see you as well ,half jaw''-The arbiter said to the commander , he and the commander had an old history together ,but this was no time to remember old stories- ''Whats the situation ,half jaw''
''We crashlanded a few miles back ,I reunited the troops you see here and headed towards this piramid ,when 2 human dropships appeared and began their attack, I was beginning to lost hope until you showed up''.
''Don't hope much of me ,Im just an elite as well as my brothers''
''That's not true,you are the arbiter ,the will of the prophets, you are the best of us all''
''Lovely speech but can you save it for later ,I detect more dropships coming
in fast ''-Cortana cut in their conversation as a new dropship was appearing in sight.
The grunts began to panic but the arbiter calmed them down, he ordered all of the jackals to form a defensive barrier with their shields on the entry steps, the grunts stood up with plasma guns and needlers ready to fire (without aim) as the elites and himself engaged the enemy on the ground.
Two pelicans rosed the ground and from it marines emerged quickly armed with MA5B and battle rifles, the arbiter had no chance to try his dual grenade attack again, so he decided to finish them the old way, he drew his carbine and activated his zoom feature ,he had learn that these humans were defeated easily if they were shot in the head ,so he decided to try it out, 2 marines fell as 3 more were injured,the humans threw frags to the arbiter position and did the same with their battle rifles,the arbiter leaped from his cover and his shields received bullets from everywhere, 2 elites quickly took care of the humans closest from the arbiter,two were melted in plasma shots as the other one had his neck twisted by an elite, the elites laughed but it was short as they were gunned down by human fire.
''Shotguns, beware elites do not let your guard down''-The arbiter yelled by the comm and he discarted his carbine and held dual needlers, he unleashed a wave of pink needles towards the enemy, the marines received the needlers and were thorn appart litteraly by the deadly needles.
A few humans tried to take out first the grunts and jackals , but they were welcomed by countless green shots by the defensive structure the jackals formed, the grunts fired everywhere in panic getting only a few shots to their targets.
The humans were losing ground so they threw their last frags to a red elite ,normally the frag grenade did little damage to an elite's shields, but 7 grenades were a different story,the elite flied a few feet away and landed motionless in the ground. The arbiter fired the last needles to the remaining humans killing 2 and he unleashed his plasma sword to finish the last ones, he leaped and sliced one in the chest , another lifted his shotgun but the arbiter cut his hands , he ran screaming in pain as the last 2 withdrew firing their handguns, normally the handgun was left as last resort, he smiled at the scared humans and headed for the kill but he stopped in his track as he saw they were both female humans, he disarmed them and knocked them both down.
''Why didn't you kill them''-Cortana asked.
''They are female humans ,they are no treat to us and besides ,I don't sink to the human level in killing covenant women and child''-The arbiter disabled his sword as the other elites approached him, the had also caught 3 humans and knocked them out in the ground next to the females.
''This is Covenant dropship phantom 519 ,is there any covenant troops near this position''-A voice was heard by the comm.
''This is Cortana,I hear you loud and clear , we have survivors and prisoners to transport , we could use a ride here''
''I hear you ,he have settled in a temporary base a few milles from here , we could use some human slaves for our work here,jeje I'll come pick you up''
Cortana saw a few escape pods still arriving to Halo and motioned the arbiter to look at them. ''Look more lifepods, if they make it down the humans will be all over them''.
''Phantom 519 I need you to disengage your spectre , I will go to find our remaining brothers''
''The arbiter''-The pilot said in surprise – ''Of course , disengaging immediately''
The Phantom hovered in grav lift reach and let his spectre in the ground , the arbiter was about to board the front seat but was beaten by the commander.
''I'll drive If you dont mind''
''Not at all half jaw'' – The arbiter grabbed the main plasma gun as two grunts with plasma guns boarded in each side. The Phantom finished getting everyone on board and left to the meeting point ,not before wishing good luck to the arbiter.
The spectre advanced a few miles until he found another structure leading underground. ''Obviously this wasn't naturally made , shall we go down''
''It's the only way around those mountains to the lifepods, so we will cross it Cortana''-The arbiter said and half jaw drived inside.
''You wont believe this ,the humans are actually transmitting tactical data on radio frequency, what primitive way to communicate and besides It not even in a secure line''
''Which means you can listen to them,right''-The arbiter asked.
''Of course, arbi''-Cortana said flathering herself.
''Do it , and don't call me arbi''-The arbiter said as they entered a large hall crawling with humans.
''Time to work Arbiter ''-The commander said as he rammed the nearest humans down.
The Prophet was hovering in his chair leaded by honor guards and jackals , the longsword fighters had struck down their transport and a single pelican catched up with them, the pelican was 5 minutes from their position so 6 honor guards remained at the crashed phantom with 4 jackals and the 2 hunters , however the prophet could sense something was wrong , an honor guard aproached as he drifted in thoughts.
''Dont worry hierarch, our forces are more than enough to deal with a single human dropship, besides they have the hunters support , there is no way the humans will defeat them''
''I hope you're right honor guard''-the prophet was relaxing but the comm activated and from it the voice of a tired elite was heard
´´Holy one you must flee at once ,we have lost the hunters and 3 elites, only the jackals remain with me and we are losing at the enemy, I don't know how much time I can … No die heretic''- a few plasma shots were heard then the line died. The jackals trembled in fear , even a few honor guards were beginning to wonder what had killed the troops so easily.
''Lets move on , quickly ''-The prophet said with fear in his voice ,the soldiers nodded and headed out again.
The arbiter boarded the spectre's gun as they traveled outside of the tunnel ,they had encountered humans in there but they quickly took care of them , as they entered the new area they quickly noticed it wasn't desert anymore but a tropical plain.
''Interesting ,a tropical plain just next to a desert plateau, what kind of ring did our gods create''- Cortana was curious to learn more about the ring.
''Look , life pod ahead''-a grunt said as the commander arrived to see if there was anyone injured.
''There are no bodies here arbiter , only the weapons case broke over spilling everything here, hey you stop that''-The commander motioned the two grunts fighting over a fuel rod gun they had found near the pod, after a moment he decided that the higher rank grunt should take it ,so it was handed to the red grunt who gave a finger to the yellow grunt. The arbiter himself grabbed a fresh particle rifle ,grenades and kept his plasma sword.
They headed towards a structure near the crash, Cortana said that the survivors would be in there taking shelter ,and almost instantly they found 2 elites with grunts fighting a wave of marines, a few rounds from the spectre finished them of .
The arbiter descended from the gunner position and headed towards the red elite.
''You 're a sight of the prophets arbiter, we crashlanded here and these humans quickly attacked us, thank the prophets you came to help us.''-The red elite said to the arbiter ,but his gaze quickly turned towards multiple HEV pods coming in fast followed by a pelican .
The spectre took a new gunner and the arbiter headed solo to finish the enemy with his particle rifle, he activated active camo and headed towards the nearest pod, as the helljumper opened the hatch he was received with a plasma sword stabbing him in the chest. The camo ran out and he took cover near some bushes , he used his particle rifle and took down 2 more humans. The ODST's took cover in near trees and rocks and with sniper rifles they began taking down grunts from affar , The arbiter waited until his camo recharged and meanwhile took one last human with his rifle before it overloaded. He discarted his weapon and activated active camo, he headed towards the unsuspected humans while they were distracted by the spectre, he drew his plasma sword and cut them one by one.
By the time the pelican arrived the spectre had just finished the last ODST, 10 marines and a human sargent descended , the arbiter slashed a human and his sword ran out of power, the marines opened fire and drained his shields to 1/3 .
The spectre appeared right in time and fired upon the marines ,who took their eyes to the new target, the arbiter seized the opportunity and activated active camo, he ran towards the marines and sticked 3 plasma grenades in them, the marines ran triyng to take the deadly device of them but failed as the explosion killed all of them.
''Damm squid head, I'll kill you''-The human sargent yelled and fired to the air hitting the arbiter and deactivating his active camo, however the arbiter smiled as the sargent looked down and found a plasma grenade stuck in his chest.
''Get it of me,wwwhhhhaaaahhh''-The sarge screamed as he flied in the air stopping hard in the ground. The arbiter aproached him and found the black sargent somehow familiar to him.
''Arbiter we must get moving , I already called the phantom to pick up the survivors and Im detecting another life pod near our position''-Cortana said by the comm and the arbiter jumped back to the spectre.
After 2 hours the arbiter managed to save 12 hunters , 18 elites and 56 grunts and jackals as well as engineers, he waited until the last grunt got onboard and then he proceeded, he sat in the nearest space and closed his eyes.
''You did good today , I wonder if the hierarch made it to the base as well, what do you think arbiter''-Cortana got no answer as the arbiter fell into sleep, she sighted and continue to monitor the human transmissions.
''Holy one ,I don hear anything anymore ,maybe the honor guards finished them of''.
''I doubt it ,but we must be sure first , send the last jackals to find out''-The prophet of peace ordered and the jackals marched slowly , a jackal lowered his shield slowly as he felt secure but a bullet pierced his head ,the other jackal began retreating when a well placed grenade landed in his back and send him flying , the last honor guard ran to the smoke with plasma sword in hand , the prophet could not see anything , he only heard multiple shots fired and a scream of pain as the elite fell to his feet.
Five green armored soldiers stained in purple blood walked towards the prophet, they pulled their rifles up but not fired, they wanted him alive.
The prophet looked at them and recognized them from previous battles.
