((Hey I'm sorry for disappearing just dealing with stuff. Enjoy the chapter if anyone is here still))
Aeron sat in his room staring at his armor. Deep in thought. He was thinking about his past. How he lost his family. How he's lost friends and all he's done to get back at them. And now to see him by the side of a female ship mistress. Should he feel guilt or sorrow for it all? Befriending her has differently has changed his mind set on everything. The door to his room opens as he looks he sees her standing there. Mahkee walks in with this feeling of confidence with her.
"Pondering in silence spartan?" She said to him as he stood up slowly. She examined his unarmored body "And is this the body of a Spartan warrior" He shakes his and looks at her " consider it just an outline of it. I doubt you came to just stare at lil ol me. Is it time?" He said approaching the machine that held his armor.
She nods as he climbs into holding onto two bars as it starts to apply each piece of armor quickly "yes it's time i thought maybe you'd like to be on the bridge with me." It put him down once done he approached her. "Of course Mahkee i wouldn't want to be left out."
She smirks and starts to walk away with Aeron on her tail. Aeron seeing sangheili walking in groups preparing for the fight before them they approached the deck walking into a room full of chatter. But quickly becomes silent once the two enter the room. She assumes her roll walking to her seat "how are shields and reactors" Aeron walked to her side as a male turned back to her. "They are all operating perfectly shipmistress."
He then turned back to his console as she barked out another question "are the phantoms and warriors ready for deployment?" At this point a very familiar female turns back to face her. "fueling is nearly done they'll be ready before we get close to the city," she turned back to her console.
"Good tell the other ships to start their descent to the planet. We musnt be late for the death of the Covenant." The other sangheili growl or roar in agreement. She takes a seat as Aeron can see that they are now descending.
"Aeron would you like a seat? This could get rough with you just standing." He shakes his head then turns to look at her "I'll be fine Mahkee. This isn't my first decent to a planet."
She chuckles and looks ahead "so I've read…" this makes Aeron stiff as a board "multiple missions as a grunt then moved up to the odst? Then you became a Spartan. But i don't know much till 6 months ago. When you were demoted to just your average spartan." Aeron turned to her "so Aeron…. What secrets are you keeping from us?"
"Mahkee why are you reading about my past." She sits up looking at him with a smirk. "To learn more about the human that seems to have an amazing mystery about him. What is the phrase female's use on your world? Girls like a mysterious man? Or something of the which?"
Aeron turns to face her smirk "wait what did you say?" As those words left Aerons mouth the deck door can be heard opening. Aeron and Mahkee turn to see a male walking, Aeron recognizing the male from before he approached Mahkee.
"Shipmistress the ground force is ready. And all is prepared for battle." Mahkee turns away from the male but Aeron watches him. "That isn't your responsibility to come up here to tell me. Your suppose to be ready to lead the first ship onto the city."
He growls trying to walk towards her but is met by Aeron standing in his way. He looks at Aeron and growls then to Makee. "Why is this human here Mahkee. Your family would be ashamed of his presence."
He tries walking forward once more and Aeron put his hand out. Once touching the male he hits Aerons hand away Aeron then kicks the male back he growls. This gathers the attention of everyone in the room he growls at Aeron.
"Consider it a warning. You have orders to be elsewhere. You've been dismissed." The male approached Aeron Mahkee was now watching.
"You dare strike me! You have no idea what you've done!" He swings at Aeron. He quickly then uppercut him. He then proceeded to deliver punches to the torso of the sangheili. The male took a few punches the put up his arms once he felt his armor denting from Aerons hit. But Aeron saw this as an opening and quickly wrapped his arms around the males hips then used all his strength to lift him off the ground and suplex him into the ground.
Aeron then take this time to get up and steps on the males throat. Ready to kill and decided looks at Makee. He looks around seeing that others are watching in disgust or awww he couldn't tell. He looks down at the male. The male glares this hateful venomous look at Aeron. He use to thrive off seeing an elite in this position. But that high he would get from the rush isn't the same. He didn't want to kill this elite.
He stepped off the males throat. He walks back to Mahkee. Assuming his position by her side. Mahkee looks to the male as he coughs getting up. "Return to your post at once or I'll have you removed from my ship at once."
A moment of silence is followed with the growl of the male leaving the room. Mahkee looks at Aeron then everyone else "that means you all as well we have a war to fight." They quickly sit taking hold of their stations.
"I'm sorry Makee…. I have no idea what came over me….. I guess old habits die hard" He looked at the floor. With a moment of silence passing she spoke "you did fine Spartan he was challenging my authority. I would have had to fight if you didn't."
Aeron quickly looks to her "I wouldn't have allowed it. My role would be meaningless if I did." She looks at him. Now with a smirk. "Hmmm if i didn't know better I'd say you cared. But I could be mistaken."
Before Aeron could say anything they had arrived to the city. Mahkee stood up looking at the sangheili in the room "prepare ships for deployment. Let's get this over with quickly warriors" they all nod and proceed to get their task over with quickly.
The ship is taking fire from whatever enemy vesicles they may have and cannons. But Mahkee shows no worry. Their shields hold steady. But one of their own ships can be seen in the distance going full speed into another ship this causes Mahkee to stand "that was Gruko 'Wattin's ship"
