Chapter 3- Shocking Discovery
The Arbiter and the Separatist forces went back to orbit. The Arbiter went to discuss the battle with Rtas'Vadum aboard the Shadow of Intent.
"Yes." The Arbiter said.
"Arbiter, the Brutes are not that idiotic to send this small amount of soldiers here." Rtas'Vadum said.
"Leaders, incoming transmission." An Elite said.
"Let it come through."
Suddenly a prophet came on the screen.
"You, all of you are traitors to the Great Journey. You are nothing more than Heretics, pebbles on the road of the divine beyond. All of you will be broken and I will take the liberty of glassing all of your wretched planets. You heretics shall be left behind during the Journey, we will ascend to gods while you will remain vermin. So says the Prophets of Desire, Loyalty, and Acceptance." The transmission ended.
"Prophets, but I thought they all disappeared!" Rtas'Vadum said.
"I supposed some survived the Flood attack on High Charity and escaped." The Arbiter said.
"These new prophets, they are the cause of the attack. If the Prophets have returned, we will need assistance in defeating them. We could get the humans to assist us." Rtas'Vadum said.
"Yes, with the Loyalist forces limited we could kill the remaining forces quickly." Thel'Vadam said.
"We should discuss this with the Councilors, to see if they degree." Rtas'Vadum said.
Thel'Vadam and Rtas'Vadum went to discuss it with the Councilors.
"Yes I agree, we should ask the humans for assistance. If they agree, we must plan our first attack." One Councilor said.
"We shall discuss the plan of attack, while you discuss with the humans. But we need to protect our planets, I will send ships to defend Sanghelios, Balaho, and Te." Another Councilor said.
"Then it is decided. Arbiter, you shall take a squad of Elites and Grunts to Earth to discuss with the humans." Rtas'Vadum said.
Thel'Vadam and his squad left to Earth, to a UNSC base on a Phantom.
"Arbiter, we have arrived to one of the human's base." The driver said.
"Drop us off and return later." Thel'Vadam said.
"Yes Arbiter."
Thel'Vadam accompanied by Elites and Grunts approached the base and they heard a voice.
"Stop where you are, identify yourself!" The voice said.
"I am Thel'Vadam, leader of the Covenant Separatists. I am hear to discuss with your leader." Thel'Vadam said in a calm voice.
The door opened and two marines approached the squad.
"Hello sir, Lord Hood is waiting for you. Follow us." One marine said.
The marines led the squad to Lord Hood.
