Phase 18: Snowy Ascension
Alisa is with Cortez to see Elites, Humans, Grunts, and Lekgolo units like Hunters and Slugmen walking through the walkways of Eternity. Swords' warships joined up with the Eternity along with 1 Brigantine(6367m long), three Blockade Runners(2020m long), 4 Carracks (2817m long) and 6 Man O' Wars(525m long).
Then, there are 10 Anlace-class light frigates (372m long) coming with the Eternity, able to be its support ships to help protect and aid the massive ship in battle. Both Human and Elite ships make up a powerful strike force to come down onto Jul's Storm stronghold on the planet they are heading towards.
"That Brigantine is massive, even more than the Eternity," Alisa said looking out the viewport to see the beautiful Sangheili ship shining against the light of a nearby star to show the lovely red and white sheen of its hull to bear the colors of the Swords of Sanghelios.
"Arbiter has brought back old Sangheili designs online and put them up to modern standards and made new models like the A'uzr-pattern sword frigate. Also, they got most of the old ships buried or left stranded just in case they needed them in the past," Cortez said.
"I see, makes sense. Sela has her own Blockade Runner, which saved her from High Charity by using its speed and stealth generators to head back home safely," Alisa said.
"Well, the Swords are gearing up to finish off the Storm once and for all. Once we gather the intel, we will be going after Jul and the cut the head of the snake," Cortez said.
"Hopefully, this will get other Sangheili clans and keep on the Swords' side," Alisa said getting into the Spartan quarters to see the halls were empty.
"They got the vast majority of Sangheili on their side. Also having a CSO Supercarrier on your side helps project power and safety along with the Grunts and Lekgolo allying with us," Cortez said.
"Can't believe Sela found it just abandoned in space," Alisa said as they went into the showers to
"Lucky find, after the war they lost a fair bit of staff to be unable to man such a craft until later now when the Swords were able to gain the massive outpour of personnel and crew to staff all their ships including that beast of a vessel.
"I destroyed one on Reach. It was truly massive, it would be suicidal to fight one head-on," she said as the showers were empty with the Spartans going on different missions.
"Thankfully one of them is on our side. Most of the big Covenant ships disappeared after losing High Charity. Most of the remnants can't make those anymore but thankfully the Swords have assembly forges that can make modern versions of their old ships and make new ones like the Sword Frigate," Cortez said as Alisa undressed to only be in her grey sports bra and white boy shorts.
"Enough talking, let's get comfortable in the shower," she said with a wink.
"Indeed, I need a little pick me up from all that stuff happening," Cortez strips out of his clothing to be in his boxers barely hiding his bugle.
"Excite to see me like this," she said to pull the bra over her head to reveal her overly ample chest. She felt his cyber eyes glued to her bouncy chest and tight waist. She turns around to present her big round ass to pull down her panties to show off her pale white buns with a plasma burn mark on her butt cheek.
"The moon came out early and it has a crater there too," Cortez said in a teasing tone to take out his underwear for them both to be naked. Alisa lewdly looks at his cock to see it standing proud and tall.
"Well we should wash up and relax," Alisa said grabbing a rug and soap to spread It across her worn body to let the warm water wash over her muscles. "Wow, this feels nice," she said to let her short blond hair get nice and wet.
"These feel nicer," Cortez comes behind her to grab onto her breasts to feel how tender they are in his big hands. Alisa can feel her body is on fire right now with her chest feeling sensitive.
"Breasts fiend," she said playfully.
"Damn right, with these things I can play with all day long," Cortez pushed her against the wall to grope her huge boobs. She felt his cock brushing against her ass making her body go limp with pleasure.
"Goodness Cortez, this is something I needed," he said as he laid his eyes on those long thigh thighs of hers. "Thick and firm, these thighs are delicious. I would take a bite if I could," he moves his hands from her breasts to her thighs which have scars from old bullet wounds and plasma burns.
"Gee, you keep comparing the body parts you like with food," Alisa said as she felt him slapping her right thigh making it shake a bit.
"Of course because both of tasty via view alone. Speaking of which," he grabs her thighs to space them out to slip his cock right between. "I am going to enjoy this,
"Better hope I don't twist it off," she said in a cheeky tone with her feeling hands all over the scars and bruises she had gotten over the years. Each one shows her service to humanity, each disfigurement made on her well-trained body is a mark of her restless work to serve and protect Humanity and their new allies within the new Concert of Worlds, or CW for short.
"You won't," Cortez said as he gazed are her battle-hardened form to be a sight to behold. A war goddess's body that he always admired and respected highly. "A lovely piece of work you are," he said to slap her ass to hear her let out a cute grasp enjoying his hard smack on her buns.
"Stop teasing and give it to it," she urged him.
"Yes madam," he gets his cock pressed to give her thigh job with him holding onto her broad hips.
"Oh goodness," she said feeling his dick rubbing against her thighs causing her body to get excited. "Oh Cortez," she moaned as she felt her huge breasts getting groped by her boyfriend's big strong hands. "They are sensitive," she groaned but her body was on fire right now to enjoy these lewd feelings building up inside.
"I can't it Six, you are so wonderful. Your thighs are insane against my cock," Cortez said softly rubbing her wide hips he adores with him increasing his thrusting.
"Goodness, my pussy is so wet from this. Oh, Cortez's cock feels so nice," she thought clouded by lust for her sweet boyfriend. "Hold me please," Alisa said as he pulled up her body to press her against his chest. His face is buried in her short blond hair enjoying her natural scent driving him to please her even more.
"Of course," he pulls her face towards his to look deeply into his red cybernetic eyes to give him a deep kiss. He puts his big arms around her torso to grab onto her chest while fucking her thighs and feeling up her overly large bust.
"Fuck, I am going to cum," Alisa said as her body is on the edge and her pussy is ready to burst onto the shower floor.
"Alisa, I'm bursting," Cortez pulls out from her thighs to shoot his load all over her big rear and lean chest. "That was amazing," he said to hug her from behind with the water washing all the sperm on her backside.
"It was amazing. Come on, let's wash up before the mission to Ren. Give those Storms a rude wake call," she said to put themselves through the water to get into their outfits to head for the armory bay to get into their suits.
"Time to hit the Storm," Sage appears on a holographic deck showing her cute little form feeling excited to work with Alisa again.
"Ready to get to work?" Alisa asked.
"Of course, plug me in," Sage said as Alisa got her clip to slip it into the back of her helmet to wait for their operation to take place.
Within the news broadcast on Waypoint. The UEG president, the Arbiter, the head Matriarch of the Unggoy, and the lead diplomat of the Lekgolo were in a meeting in a space station. "So we are here today to come forth for the Concert of Worlds where Humanity, the Sangheili, the Unggoy, and Lekgolo will join together to become part of this alliance. To ensure we will have a bright future with our four species. Military, research, and commerce will mix and match to aid in pushing our species forward," the Madam President said with the C.W. coming to pass with enemies across the Cosmos taking note of this.
Elsewhere on the Storm world of Ren, which is a snowy planet with a bunch of Elite Minors looking over reports about the Swords setting the Concert of Worlds aligning with the home worlds of the Lekgolo and the Unggoy cutting off their supply of Grunt workers.
"This can't be real. The traitor Arbiter has managed to join with the disgusting humans along with the Lekgolo and the Unggoy," the Minor said.
"Not good, Grunts and Hunters were going missing. Defecting to the Swords, even our brothers are betraying us to these human pawns," the other Minor said as his words were empty with them feeling deep down the Storm's days are numbered.
"Incoming enemy fleet. Human and Swords, prepare for battle," an Elite General said who is in charge of the main base of operation.
The joint fleet is fighting the Storm defense fleet with drop pods falling from the sky to crash into the snowy ground.
"We will be far from the others and connect later," Sage said as they were in a drop pod with Alisa kicking it open. She grabs her suppressed BR-85 Battle Rifle with an M301 grenade launcher and a Sentinel sight while holding an M6C/SOCOM Pistol.
"Fine by me, how is going Cortez?" Alisa asked on the comms to move through the snow to scale up the mountainous terrain. Cortez, Rosenda, Yuri, and Olympia were on the ground to push on their own against Storm's positions.
Cortez uses his BR85 to take out Grunts and Jackal Snipers to clear up the way. "Well Six, we are in the thick of it here. Storm is putting up a fight here. You along with the others will sneak in from behind to cut them off," Cortez said as Yuri used his S5 Sniper to put rounds into the heads of Elite and Jackal snipers on the ridges of the mountainside.
"Stay safe out there," Alisa said making a kissing sound in her comms.
"You too Six," Cortez said as Pelicans along with Hornets and Wasps came to bomb dug-in areas to soften it for CW forces.
"Oh, so cute," Rosa teases them to wield her machine gun to mow down incoming Grunts and Elite Minors.
"Maintaining radio silence," Alisa said in embarrassment to cut off the radio to hold onto her rifle to keep pushing into enemy space.
Alisa and Sage noticed several Elite drop pods all over the mountain with Sword Ultras appearing to fight. Lichs, Phantoms, and Spirits come in to drop off Wraiths, Ghosts, Revenants, and Hunter pairs aiding in the assault on the mountain base.
A Shade turret is firing on Pelicans and Phantoms with her aiming her Battle rifle to put a three-round burst into the head of the Storm Grunt's head to take him out. She activates her Active Camo to blend with the environment to see a bunch of Jackal Heavies coming up with their Needlers and Plasma Pistols.
"Got you," she said to put quick bursts into their heads to drop the Jackal Heavies.
"No more contacts nearby. Press on," Sage said as she got connected with the Sword Battle net.
"Alisa, where are you," Sela asked as she and Vala were in a Revenant with Sela in the driver's seat with Vala wielding a Fuel Rod Gun to destroy enemy armor along with Sword Grunts riding Ghosts to provide support to the Elites and Slugmen assault Storm positions.
"On the other side with the Ultras," Alisa said to see Elite Ultras of the Sword wiping out the Storm Minors, Jackals, and Grunts with ease.
"The General is in charge of this place. Cut him off and the base will fall apart," Sela said as she and Vala joint attack a Storm Wraith to overwhelm it with firepower from the Plasma Mortar and Fuel Rods to destroy it.
"Dek is leading the Ultras, he was the Keepward of Sela but now he has joined the Swords as an Ultra to resume his combat service," Vala said.
"Cool, I will meet up with you," Alisa said as she saw two Storm Elite Minors lob an EMP grenade from her M301 to knock out their shields to land headshots to take them out. She sneaks around another group of hostile Elites to use her energy dagger to stab through his shield to slit his throat. She swiftly punches an Elite to knock him onto the snow and jabs the wrist dagger into his throat to cut it open.
"Hello, Alisa. Sela's friend. This is Dek of the Ultra Sword Corp. I am great to be joining you on this hunt for these traitors," Dek said wielding his Concussion Rifle to tear apart groups of Grunts and destroy a Shade turret.
"Good to know you, she told me about how you helped her escape High Charity. Good, you all escaped unharmed," Alisa said.
"Indeed. A friend of the mistress is an ally I can trust. Come, we will meet up at the top. Have a good hunt," Dek said as he led his Ultras to blow through the ranks of Storm. Along with Slugmen Ultras and Hunter Ultras, the Sword Ultras are breaking through the ranks of Storm units.
Above the sky, Storm ships are fighting against CW ships with the Eternity using its dual MAC cannons smashes through a Storm carrier seeing it falling apart and crashing into the snowy fields below them.
The Sword Brigantine uses its powerful weapons to pepper and crack a few Storm CCS-class battlecruisers exploding in the sky raining debris onto the white frost.
"We are hitting them hard up there," Alisa said as she went up the mountain with her active camo still on. She holds onto her SOCOM and EMP grenades to see a group of Minors and Grunts guarding the pathway upwards.
She tosses an EMP into the group of Elites to disable their shields to uses her pistol and thrusters to move swiftly to put suppressed shots into the Elites' heads to kill three of them to see the Grunts scatter in different directions. She puts them down quickly to see their blue blood scattered onto the snow.
"So pathetic," a light voice said as Alisa saw a Grunt piloting a Goblin Ultra battle suit. "What's up Six, I am Ten-Ten, one of the Mistress's servants who joined the Swords to help her clean up this mess," Ten-Ten said.
"Good to meet you Ten-Ten. Cool suit," Alisa said as this was new to her.
"Thanks. The Grunt leadership has made secret meetings with the Elites and Humans to jumpstart our planet's factories. This beauty is the result of our new friendship, the Grunts pushing our full potential," Ten-Ten said to join up with Alisa.
"I am detecting heavy emplacement nearby," Sage said to see the motion sensor has several big red dots.
"Okay, Ten-Ten. I will cover you while you make a path for us," Alisa said.
"Golden, let's do this," Ten-Ten said
"Hey, I meet your Grunt friend. Ten-Ten," Alisa said on the battle net with Sela driving towards the side of the mountain to avoid incoming mortars and Shade turrets.
"Oh good, he recently became a Jockey. He is good at piloting vehicles including his favorite the new Goblin they are recently making," Sela said.
"I will treat him well," Alisa uses her Grapple shot to latch onto a ridge to pull her up onto a secure position to wield her Battle Rifle to give the Goblin some support.
"Good. See you at the base," Sela said as Alisa synced the scope with her HUD to see several Grunt Heavies and Wraiths. She begins to put rounds into the Grunt Heavies.
"It's quite remarkable how reliable the Grunts under the Swords right," Sage said as she still footage of Sword Grunt Troopers being bold, brave, and more capable than the Storm or Banished Grunts.
"Grunts were mistreated by the Covenant and their factions like the Storm and the Banished. The Swords treat them like equals," Alisa said as she remembered what Sela told her about how the Swords were different from the Covenant. The Arbiter saw how the heretic Grunts were much more capable than the Grunts they used. This example is to better train their Sword Grunts by becoming Grunt Troopers getting better armor, simple energy shields, and better weapons like the Plasma Rifles and Needlers.
Alisa is putting rounds into Grunt Heavies while Ten-Ten fires his heavy needler cannon to impale the Wraith several times to trigger a big super combine to kill the Storm tank Its Shard storm launcher unleashes waves of needle rounds to strike incoming Elite Minors and Jackal Heavies blowing them to bits in pink explosions.
"Time to face my wraith. Needle Sting," Ten-Ten calls out his attack to fire his needle cannon to blow up a Wraith in a powerful super combine.
"What is he doing?" Alisa asked.
"He is calling out his attacks," Sage said as the two women were confused by their Grunt's ally's behavior.
"Hey, Ten-Ten. This is not a battle anime, you are drawing more attention to yourself," Alisa said taking out Grunt Heavies and Elite Majors wielding Plasma Launchers and Fuel Road Guns while Ten-Ten took out the incoming Wraiths with his heavy needle weapons.
"Here it gives my actions power. It's working so far, be dusted fools!" Ten-Ten wipes out two more Wraiths and more troops. Alisa uses her Grapple shot to latch onto a ridge uses her thrusters to speed her swing to gain her a ton of mileage to uses her grapple shot again to reach Ten-Ten to see the destruction he has created with 8 Wraiths destroyed.
"Good work Ten-Ten," Alisa pats the side of the battle mech with the two coming up to the Ultra Corp to see Dek waiting for them.
"Seems like Ten-Ten found you first," Dek said as Sage took notes of how huge Dek was reaching over 9'10 feet tall and very muscular yet lean giving him a very imposing and refined appearance. He is clad in a white and red Ultra combat harness holding a Plasma Caster while a Plasma Rifle is on his right thigh and his energy sword on his left thigh.
"Noted, time to break through," Alisa said as she joined with the Sword Ultras to push deeper into the mountains to see the large fortress before them. Slugmen, Hunters, Elites, and Grunts were working together along with Alisa to smash through the enemy's defenses.
"Guys, we are heading in the back of the fortress," Alisa said on the radio as a Slugman wielded a Mosa Carbine to pop the head of a Jackal.
"Yeah, we managed to get up here as well. ODSTs are coming in from the south. We are closing in," Rose said as her squad teamed up with a bunch of ODSTs donning their new SPI MK3 suits giving some good protection, potent shields, and a slight strength boost.
They keep assaulting the base with the Storm being sandwiched between three ground forces. Sela and her forces are assaulting the fortress from the west with vehicles and air support from Lichs, Banshees, and Phantoms.
"Sir, we are surrounded," the Elites were failing to hold the fortress with them hearing alerts going off to see all three forces coming inside to push killing any Storm forces in their way.
"Detecting several Cloaked enemies inside the room," Sage said as Alisa split from the others to subvert their defenses within the fortress. She goes into Active Camo to use her thrusters to quickly gain grounds to lob EMPs to disable their cloaking to get killed via headshots by her suppressed pistol.
She tags an Elite with her Grapple shot to push herself in and shoves her energy dagger into his skull. She grabs his corpse to eat plasma bolts like a meat shield. She places plasma grenades onto his corpse and kicks it toward the group of Storm Elites to melt their broken bodies.
Alisa keeps running through the hallways of the fortress to leap on top of a pillar to hide from a group of Hunters. Alisa tags the plasma grenade onto the pillar to jump off it as the grenade weakens it and falls towards the first Hunter to crush it under its heavy weight.
"Watch out," she said to see a Hunter Minor using a Beam cannon to fire streams of energy at Alisa. She took some hits but her powerful Overshield can block the damage while she is rushing at the Hunter with Plasma Grenade in hand.
She fires on the exposed bits of its armor to roll away from the beams. She slides forward to slip between its legs and grab onto its back to shove the grenade into its exposed back. She rolls away to see the Hunter explode to scatter into broken pieces and hunks of worms.
Then she hears two thuds that rock the whole building for two Sword Scarabs dropping from the sky and landing to give the allied forces some ground support. "Two Sword Scarabs dropped from orbit," Sage said to detect their presence outside.
"Good thing they are on our side," Alisa said as she saw two Storm Spectres in a large room to hold onto the area. Both vehicles' turrets are trying to kill her but Alisa lobs EMPs to disable their weapons while she lobs frag grenades from her underslung launcher to kill off the Elites within the Spectres.
"Sword members nearby," Sage said as the Ultra met up again with Alisa.
"Good work Spartan, we are getting close to the General's location," Dek said as he was wielding his Plasma Rifle to pepper Storm Grunts and Jackals to be killed off. They arrive at a huge door which is sealed.
"Sage, do your thing," Alisa spreads out her arm to transfer the AI into the systems.
"This will take a moment," Sage said as the Ultras and Alisa could see the remaining guards trying to wipe them out but they were able to fight back to gain their ranks.
"Show no mercy to these traitors," Dek said as he charged up his Plasma Caster to fire a cluster orb to take out groups of Elites and Grunts in a set of plasma explosions. A Hunter Ultra is destroying groups of enemies while Alisa is placing headshots while using EMP grenades to leave enemy Elites exposed to be gun down by the allied forces.
"Got it," Sage said as she transferred back into Alisa's suit with them moving deeper within the fortress.
Fireteam Omega along with ODSTs were piercing deep within the fortress fighting their way through the ranks of Storm units. Rose pulls out her Sticky Denotator to destroy a Ghost with Cortez wielding an M247H HMG with the 50 Cal bullets tearing through hordes of Grunts, Jackals, and Drones.
"Hate these freaky buggers," Cortez said as his heavy rounds is causing the Drones to burst apart with all their blood and bits falling onto the smooth floor.
"You and me both," Sela said using her Storm Rifle to rip through a bunch of Drones to see them falling lifelessly on the ground. Vala and the other Swords came with her to join the human forces.
The two forces swarm into the command section with the remaining enemy troops getting washed by the pincer attack. Bullets and Plasma kill off all the remaining guards with the General trying to fire back but Dek charges up his Plasma Caster to stick the cluster orb to instantly kill the commander of the huge fortress.
"That is done, time to secure the area and grab what we can from these terminals," Dek said as Alisa let Sage do her job to search for Jul's and Halsey's location.
"Interesting, seems like both are on the Forerunner world of Kamchatka. Now it's a Storm Fortress world filled with assets and a huge fleet. They are getting desperate from these records. That Concert of Worlds the Arbiter set up has cut off a lot of their support with Elites seeing the writing on the wall," Sage said.
"Indeed. The Storm will be cornered and purged," Dek said.
"Purge and dust," Ten-Ten said still within his Goblin suit which had suffered some damage from the fighting but was still in fighting shape.
"Indeed, Sage. Copy the data and transfer it to the flagship. We will look it over and set up a strike team that will purge Jul's Covenant once and for all," Vala said as Saga nodded her head,
The mission is complete with the planet of Ren under the control of the Swords and UNSC with Jul's Storm reaching its final days.
