Wolf Effect

Ch 18. Feros

Location: Everest, bridge

Cole's POV

I've gained conscious to see that my ship was damaged & my crew on the bridge have passed out

I wasn't sure where we are but first I have to get my crew back up & see what kind of damages this ship has sustained & try to figure out where we are

I soon noticed my crew waking up & without a word we got started on checking for any kind of damages the ship received from our battle with the covenant but next thing I knew there was absolutely no damage of any kind & the ship seemed be fully operational

Before i could say anything my comms officer alerted me "Sir, I'm picking up a UNSC distress signal originating from this planet" he pulled it up & I have to say that this planet was unlike anything I have ever seen

I didn't want to do this since myself & the rest of the crew were now insurrectionist but then my comms officer continued "It's coming from a Spartan team designated as Wolfpack, I don't know who they are but from the looks of it I have to say covenant"

I looked to see that the whole bridge was looking at me & even though this is a very risky move but even losing 1 Spartan to this war is bad but a whole team I can't afford so I went ahead & said "Alright... Let's make our way to that signal & lets hope we can make it in time"

Prime's POV

Ok I'm just trying to recap what happened, we all arrived here on Feros, killed some Geth, didn't say anything about the Thorian yet, made some hints about the air being toxic, then finally we all split up as I was with Ashley & Wrex as we are looking for a Geth jammer & I could guess that this was gonna be super easy for us

We got to the door then I looked at them then said "there are some hostiles in this room, probably Saren's minions so let's blow them to hell" they both nodded & Sierra popped up in my visor putting up the waypoints of where the enemies are at

As soon as the door opens I got out my rifle then just unloaded on them along with Ashley as she pulled out her assault rifle & fired as well ripping the Krogan clones & Geth to shreds as they didn't stand a chance & Wrex roared out his battle cry then charged in blasting anyone with his shotgun

I looked at Ashley as she pulled out her shotgun then charged in after him do the same as I just sighed then said "The things I do for her" I holstered my rifle then got out my shotgun then charged in

Location: Feros, tunnels

Tony's POV

I got paired up with Tali, Garrus, & Kaiser as we were water duty & just finished with the first one & just got a few more to go as Kaiser said "So how the hell did we get stuck with this shit?"

Garrus went ahead & explained "Because you nearly freaked out that there was a spider when it was just a hologram & you used a hammer which made everyone go flying" Kaiser looked up for a moment then just went ahead & shut the hell up

Tali then said "Also we're the best option on fixing the water system & we're well armed plus you two have better sensors then us so it makes sense & of course your AI's insisted that you two come along"

Kaiser looked like he was gonna fall asleep but then again I couldn't really tell with that fucking helmet on with that tiny ass visor

We soon found the second pipe but there was no enemies around which was very odd but I could worry about that later as my job was to protect Tali & Garrus

Tali asked "Tony, I wanted to ask but.. Do you remember anything about your family or what you were like?" Now that was a very good question

I replied "actually... No... I can't remember anything about my family... Noir do I remember who I was since a flash clone was the one that had the life while I went to become a Spartan.." I looked to see Tali looking at me with.. Surprise & sadness but I went ahead & continued "he was dreaming of becoming musician.. Along with being a artist & enjoyed making friends... He had a lot but ultimately in the end... He was diagnosed with a illness that I can't remember but... I do remember him being in crutches showing how strong he was & that he wasn't going to let anything stop him from doing what he loves to do... But up in the end.. The illness won & his family mourned for his loss & sadly I'm not sure how to even react noir should I even try to reconnect with my family... But at the final days of the war they perished when the Covenant arrived on Earth & now I won't ever have that chance..."

I didn't know how long I was talking but I could see Garrus & Kaiser walking up ahead as Tali was looking right at me & I gotta say she was a little close to me but before I could ask she just went ahead & hugged me then said "I could tell by your body language you might need this.. That & I'm not really sure what else to do"

I smiled behind my helmet then hugged back & I think we were having a moment until Libra materialized then said "I hate to ruin the beautiful moment but three things just happen. One the guys finished with the pipes, Two they found a guy but he seems pretty crazy but I got what he said so you can check later, three they found the entrance to that Varren area along with that battery, oh! And also Wrex's team finished with their part & you two look sooo cute together~"

Tali & I looked at each other then we both let go & I was starting to feel warm in my helmet but we both recovered then started making our way to the door & we saw Wrex's team as I asked "What are you guys doing here? Shouldn't you be heading back?"

Prime replied "Nah we wanted to come by to kill something plus I really wanted to punch something" I heard Wrex laughing as he pumped his shotgun

We all got our weapons out & once the door opens Garrus went in first followed by Kaiser, Ashley then myself & everyone else

Once we walked in we saw the floor the floor covered with Varren bodies, blood, & bullet casings including a few craters but before anyone could say a word I heard some clicks of multiple guns then I heard some heavy steps & once I looked, I saw a fucking suit but it was just a suit. It was THE HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL suit that never got into production

I saw that the wearer was pointing a 850-round, six-barreled T261 Lucifer Arm-Mounted Gatling Gun which possessed an integrated targeting system that was on its right arm but more at the non-humans of the group which I quickly realized could still think that they are in the war so I yelled out "HOLD YOUR FIRE!" That got their attention then I continue "They are friendly & not with the covenant, I'm part of Wolfpack, Sierra-619" I soon noticed that the lowered their guns as well as the suit but then once the person got out of the suit I soon saw a ODST come on out then more of them came & I soon noticed that Prime was walking up to them

He then said "I don't believe it..."

Location: Feros, Zhu's hope

Anthony's POV

I was with Shepard, Liara, Kaiden, Ruby, Sepia, Snow, Forge, & Johnson along with the 6 crawlers & 2 watchers as we stayed by & helped out anyway we can but I also had to stay cautious around the colonist

While we are here I also checked the progress of the Spectre facilities & shipyards to see how they were doing & so far they were great & nobody has tried to get in but the Shadow broker & Cerberus have been checking the facilities but so far haven't gotten in thanks to Spyglass now they can't get in with him now ordering the new batch of Spectre's to their designated areas & on the ships that have now been constructed

After I got through that I looked to see Liara walking over to me & said "Excuse me Spartan but may I speak to you?" I nodded then she continued "I wanted to talk to you about these Forerunners? It just got me curious & I figured incase of a situation we don't have you or the others around when we come across one then-"

I stopped her by sayings "Liara, you don't have to explain anything & also you can call me Anthony or Winters"

I could see her turn a darker shade of blue which must be her blushing & I have seen & done it to a Asari so score one for me but anyways she went ahead & said "Could you tell me about them? About what happen & how advance were they & i guess everything?"

Well I never had to explain about the Forerunners before but Liara is the first so I went ahead & got Ghost to pull up the info on the forerunners & went ahead & told her everything I had on them

Ruby's POV

I was overseeing everyone in the colony & once I saw Liara walking over to Anthony I could tell that she wanted to talk to him about something but when she blushed which was cute but I so totally wanted to call out that I ship it but I think that would make them both blush & I would be laughing my ass off so hard

I went ahead & saw that Forge, Shepard, & Johnson were talking but I'm guessing it's about the Spartans or the war or whatever, Sepia & Kaiden have been hanging out a little more then usual ever since they met

Snow was playing with the Watchers & Crawlers & they seemed to like her a lot & she was defiantly happy & that was good but then I remembered what Anthony & Prime said about this place saying that it should be crawling with Geth but when I went with them to help clear out that area where the Geth are coming in I noticed that some of the Geth looked like they've came back from a bloody fight & had plasma burns

I shook my head then decided that I would listen to music with Red as we both like just about the same kind of music & my music of choice is Too weird to live to rare to die by »This is gosple - Panic! At the disco« i was bobbing my head to the music & I could see Red materialize on my shoulder & was bobbing her

We both smiled & just listen to the music that was playing & we just bobbed our heads & I was tapping my foot on the ground to the beats of the song

I then noticed the others coming back which was my queue to join them & get ready for our next part which was getting to the building & as soon as I paused the music Red said "Hey looks like our boys found some more people"

I turned to see what she was talking about but all I saw was some ODST's & a giant walking suit so there was- wait a fucking second, I blinked a bit then I shook my head & took off my helmet then put it back on & I knocked on my helmet to see if I was going crazy but there was a fucking giant suit & all I could say was this "Anthony is gonna being freaking out like a little school girl who just got noticed by her senpai"

Then me & My AI looked at each other for a moment then just burst out laughing as I held my side then I leaned forward & fell off my spot & on the ground on my feet as I giggled & walked over to everyone to see what's up

-45 minutes later-

Anthony's POV

"So let me get this straight. You found these guys in the tunnel, where those Varren were supposed to be at but are now dead, also found the fucking suit?" I was having a difficult time believing that story but I've heard worse & once Prime nodded in confirmation I just went ahead & said "... Alright then. Let's get going"

I basically said fuck it because I was too lazy to try & question everything but then Dare got in my way & said "Wait a second. So after all of that your not even going to ask us how we got here?"

"Well normally I would but right now we gotta get over to a building belonging to a company called ExoGeni so we're heading over there because there might be something that can help us on our mission of apprehending a rouge" I just went ahead & both answered & explain which she seemed a little confused but acknowledged & I looked to see that Mickey, Dutch, Romeo, & the giant Prototype suit also seemed to understand the situation as well

I was also gonna call the giant suit Prototype instead of it's actually name because that's easier for me to say & it's original name was a little confusing for me

Ghost materialized then said "Well I found out that there is a Mako in the vehicle area right by the colony which Shepard & her squad can use & we have another on the ship which I think the ODST's can use as well but then we need to figure out who goes with who?"

Johnson went ahead & said "Well I know these soldiers enough that they won't give me a hard time & also I know how to drive that piece of shit Tin can. But the bigger question is, what are we going to do about that?" He motions towards the Prototype suit which I though we could leave it on the Normandy if it was big enough for it

Forge went ahead & suggested "We should have it with us just incase. We might find ourselves in a situation where we need more fire power" that was true & with what we found it also couldn't hurt to be safe then sorry so I nodded

Shepard went ahead & asked "Right now we got that out of the way, can someone please fill me in on what's going on & who are those people & Where can I get another one of the suits?" I smiled behind my helmet knowing that she wanted to drive those too

Prime said "Well we can debrief everyone when we get to the building & we better do so now because I'm getting some bad vibes" Prime went ahead & started leading everyone to where the Mako was at & Tony jumped onto the Suit

Tony spoke through the radio [I'm gonna go with the Pilot to help guide him where to meet us at alright] I nodded then I watched as the suit open its thrusters & launched into the air & fly over to where they are going to meet us & I have to say that was so fucking awesome

I felt someone throw a rock at my back as I turned around to see Wrex as he says "Come on Pyjak! You wanna let Saren find the conduit?" I chuckled then I went into the elevator with everyone only to find it that it's a tight squeeze & soon the doors closed I felt like I was going through a garbage compactor

Location: Feros Atmosphere, CAS-class assault carrier known as Seeker of Shadow, bridge

Imperial Admiral Si'Varis POV

I was sitting in my command chair watching the monitors & looking at the world that I have never seen before, I have had no contact with the rest of the Covenant Empire & the Hierarchs so as of now we are one our own & the only ones that I could blame was Cole & that cursed Demon

When Cole gone & killed himself along with my fleets I thought it was going to be the end but instead myself along with Sacred Fury & Righteous Vengeance awaken to find ourselves spared & the fleets repaired, I do not know if the gods have saved us or not but I did not have time for that when we encounter 3 Demons on board one of the ships, I was going to eliminate them personally but they seem to have escape us in one of our own Seraphs

I could care less about them as I needed to find out where we are & what am I supposed to do but apparently the recon teams I have sent reported that the planet is inhabited by machines of unknown origins but what else concern me was two more discoveries was finding multiple undiscovered species & that the humans are here as well except that these humans are pathetic & weaker then the ones that we have encountered

I was soon brought out of my thoughts when my Field marshal arrived & bowed to me as he said "{Imperial Admiral. I am here to make a report on what we have found on the planet. I believe that you may find this unpleasant}"

I stood up from my chair & looked at him "{Tell me what it is Field Marshal Suro'Orkata}" he nodded then looked at me & I would call him heretic if it weren't for his devotion to the Great journey & out shared hatred for the Demons

Suro nodded then said "{I have found a ship possibly created by the humans have landed & what came out is this}" he pulled up images of the humans & the new races but what surprised me was he sight of the demons & my entire bridge growled in anger of the sight of seeing the demons but the one I focused on was the Demon wielding a human sniper & carrying our plasma rifles

"{Suro, I want you to accompany me down to the planet where we will find these demons & end them.}" I saw him nod as we made our way to the Phantoms & before I left I looked at the bridge & said "{Prepare yourselves my brothers! Because we have found more of these humans Demons & I will see to it that they are ended by my blades piercing their hearts!}"
