Planet Tyrphenis

Tyrphenis City

Crashing into a ruined car Naruto couldn't help but to feel a sense of excitement. A bloodlust that he hasn't felt in a very long time. An opponent that could give him a challenge. He could feel the blood leaking from the corner of his mouth from behind his helmet that had a crack on the side of the visor and some dents and scrapes around the other sections. Standing up on top of the car he could feel his bones and muscles protest at the action as the brute did something no other opponent has done. With his hammer he had broken some of his bones that he and many others thought were near indestructible. Apparently not.

A good surprise was how well his armor has held up. While the Mark IV was a very impressive and powerful armor, it was taking a massive beating. The armor is covered in cracks, burns, scrapes, and tares. The shield generator was no longer working at this point. This makes him glad he ordered Rosenda-A344 to pull out of this fight. She and any other Spartan III would be dead if they face him. The Spartan armor they wore known as the SPI was not powerful as the MJOLNIR. They haven't been upgraded to that yet. Gripping his combat knife tight in his hand he looked over to the brute standing up as well.

Atriox could be seen with a battle crazed smile on his face as his blood leaked from that and some wounds on his body. His armor has also tokened a beaten but with his expression and talks while they were fighting, he knew he was having the time of his life. A time that he wanted to continue with the way he charged at him smashing an elite that got in the way with his hammer.

Replicating the action, he leaped forward denting and throwing the ruined car back as he charged the brute at frightening speed. Upon reaching him he put forth a burst a chakra into his body forcing his body to move faster with a knee ram into the brute's stomach pushing the brute back with Naruto with him. Slamming him into an upturn wall, he followed the impact with a few punches to the stomach and a punch downward on his head.

Ignoring the pain from the punches Atriox grabbed the fist punching him and swung the body into the wall he was leaning against destroying it. With Naruto on the ground, he slammed his hammer down on him to which Naruto rolled to the side as the hammer released red sparks forcing him into the air. In mid air Atriox slammed his fist into him sending him flying through the air and onto his back. Upon impacting with the ground, Naruto muscles tensed and reacted as he performed a backflip to get up and off the ground as Atriox landed at the last location.

With a flick of his hand Naruto let loose of his knife in his hand during his back jump allowing for it to stab into his shoulder armor plate. Following it he performed a spinning kick to ram it through the armor and into his skin allowing for a roar of pain and anger to be released from Atriox's mouth.

Atriox pulled the knife out and thew it back at him, to which he avoided the fast throw by moving to the side only to get hit by his throw gravity hammer into the chest. Grabbing the hammer and stopping his slide he released a cough in pain when he saw a fist grab the handle.

With a show of strength Atriox picked up the hammer with Naruto on it and slammed it down on the ground activating its effects with red sparks. Upon impact of the ground Naruto disappeared and an elite took his place as a body. In his confusion he didn't notice until it was too late that chakra chains wrapped around him and swung him around into a building that he smashed through and landed in.

From the side Naruto stood there with his arms out having chakra chains attached to him, that disperse into a mist once its purpose was done. 'He may not be that fast, but he is incredibly smart, tough, and strong. Fighting him unprepared is not a good idea. Neither is doing so while exhausted' he thought forming hand seals and breathing out a large fire dragon that took off into the air and slammed down on top of the building.

The dragon smashed through the few floors before reaching the ground floor exploding and taking the whole building out in an explosion of flames. Naruto knew it wouldn't be enough to put him down but before he could follow it up, the command came through on his slightly damaged comms.

:All forces are to withdraw and begin the final evacuation immediately:

Hearing the order with a frown Naruto left the crumbled building in order to regroup with his forces to leave planet. While sprinting he could already see his fellow forces doing the same. With a quick glance around the area, he scooped up a discarded assault rifle and began firing at any enemy forces in his path.

Up ahead pelicans were landing in front of them with their tail gunners putting up cover fire for the retreating troops. Behind them bigger aircraft like the condor were landing to retrieve the larger vehicles and more troops. Above them falcons and hornets hovered laying down suppressive fire in assistance.

Reaching the base of the ramp to the pelican he pauses to turn around and continue fire at any enemy forces that were following his ally's retreat. "Kora, notify me when all of our troops have pulled out and have boarded the aircrafts" he called in

:Roger. I'm monitoring the situation right now and will inform you when it's done: she answered back. With the replied heard he kept the fire support on as aircraft started filling up quick and taking off in order for more aircraft to land and load up.

It finally lowered down for only a trickle of fellow troops to come loading in until he saw a group of shadows leaping forward with some Spartans.

:They are the last of our troops. They preferred a quick search to make sure there are no stragglers. You are good to leave with them: reported in Kora as the members leaped into the pelican behind him. Following the last Spartan, he jumped on the ramp and walked in to hit a button on the side to close the ramp shadowing the inside with shadows and red lights.

With the last member onboard, all human aircraft started taking off into the sky in in order to enter the nearby ships hovering above or in orbit. To cover their escape the Frigates with the Spirit of Fire started raining down missiles and rounds towards any enemy force nearby.

Orbit

With the final aircrafts pulling out of the combat zone the Maelstrom and remaining UNSC ships started forming up in a defensive position in order to leave the system. The group that had been sent forward to hold off the Banished fleet had pulled back to the main fleet as the Covenant had now joined their battle.

Hiruzen had the Maelstrom fleet broken down a bit as he gave the call for the UNSC forces flee the system first. Already he could see their ships jumping out. Not too far from the bridge he could see the UNSC cruiser Pillar of Autumn move into slipspace. With the UNSC forces now leaving he ordered all Frigates, Destroyers, and Suppliers of his forces to bug out of the system. Their instructions and coordinates on where to go was already sent to them.

He wanted the strongest of his fleet to leave last in order to provide support and soak up any damages that were sent there way. Already on the holo table he could see his forces now leaving as the last of the small aircraft were heading for his ship. Following after them was the Spirit of Fire and an escort of a few Frigates. A quick transmission of orders he had the ships turn and leave the system with the others.

"PJ, bring in the rest of our fleet in close and link up the synchronization of our slip space drives. We will leave all at once" he ordered as the A.I appeared on the holo table.

"Will do Captain" she stated as a close-up view of the fleet was projected. Placing her hands up at them she activated the links causing each ship on the projection to link up when they lit up green. As the process was underway, they could see the enemy battle closing in on them once again.

"PJ" he warned seeing them gaining in distance as a few plasma beams smacked into the ships shield.

"And….done" she finished as the screen lit up with the words 'GREEN'

"All forces are onboard!" yelled out Kora appearing on the holo table as well. In the bay the last pelican could be seen speeding and slamming onto the ground for a stop after maxing out its speed. The pelican had scraped across the ground leaving marks as its engines were glowing red hot from overheat.

One of the bay cyclops had run over to the pelican and smashed its hands into the opening. With the mechanical strength it was created with, it tore open the doors allowing for the occupants to come climbing out. One which was Naruto who was stumbling a bit as a group of medics ran over to them with engineers.

"Launch!" yelled Hiruzen as all the slipspace drives activated all at once and took off leaving a slipspace aftereffect. Plasma missiles that were bound for them lost their trajectory and flew out of control before exploding. Ships and small spacecraft that were close to them got hit with an energetic slipspace wave that disable their systems for a minute leaving them easy targets for the remaining enemies on each other side.

Tyrphenis City

The battle in the city was now surrounded with silence as the humans had all left and the Covenant had stop sending reinforcements to the planet. Walking the streets now were Banished forces looking around now. From a nearby ruined building an armored fist had punched up and grabbed the floor. Following it was another arm that did the same but was holding a customized short staff gravity hammer. Once they had a good grip on the floor, they pushed up allowing before the buried being to reach the surface.

Surrounding forces turned their sites to the being now recognized as the brute leader Atriox. He was seen shaking off the dust and rubble off himself before looking around at the area to take in the sights. He was quick to notice that the fighting has stopped before noticing the brute warlord Decimus walking up to him and giving him a brute salute.

"Status" he requested

"The city is ours. The humans have retreated from the system but the Covenant forces in space are still battling our own. It is only a matter of time before they are wiped out or pull from the system as well" he reported as Atriox placed his gravity hammer on his shoulder and started walking along the street with Decimus following.

"Search the city and take everything useful to us. Once done we shall leave this planet before Covenant reinforcements arrive. I'm not foolish to think that the Covenant will accept a lost to me so quickly" ordered Atriox as Decimus gave another salute and walk off to relay the orders.

"A demon with the powers of the elements. My most worthy challenge yet. We will meet again Naruto" he finished with a smirk and laugh to himself.
