Halo: Darkness Ascendant

OCC: Sorry guys, technical difficulties loging in. Id log in, but next page would say "Im sorry, you need to be logged in to view this page."

Ten paused for a second and fell back to Nurons position, "They've taken the pilots. They're dead. Let's go." He spun and backpedalled, firing the occasional round to keep enemy heads down. The sniper and lance corporal, (Blood Flower king Dubya) at his side. "We go to the fall back position, no other reported friendlies here."

SHXZALOR

His dropship landed, his six grunst and two elites stood guard, "That will not be necessary." He said to the ground troops, "I will take her." He grabbed the humans shoulder and steered here away. "You can fit in this dropship, Im getting you out of here, dont try and fight back you'll just betray your presence and your escape. How many people were captured?" He asked in a low voice.

The gunner of the crippled Tiger stares through the telescope at the small silver blurs that was the two covenant cruisers.. the Iron fist was the small green spec moving towards them... The Large plasma cannon on the tank deployed and he aimed up toward the heavens, the Cannons optical inhancements gave the gunner a awesome view of the forces in space, the two battle cruisers and the little destroyer about to meet eachother, he knew there was little that ship could do against two frontline capital ships fielded by thier foes.

The two full armored Tigers slowly move infront of the complex where the marines are at.. Another pair of hunters move in the way only to be met by the 200mm Mac cannon on the first tiger.. the two hunters fly in different directions from the impact between them.. The two 50cal guns begin to rip apart the grunts quickly retreating, a fuelrod fires nearby hitting the top of the turret of a tiger, the 50cal ontop as well as the marine are mostly burnt up.. davarans tiger gunner sees this and aims for the rock the two grunts were behind, a Gauss round impact the rock shattering it, the two grunts run in different directions... the turret moves quickly and the turret50cal next to the maingun opens up killing it, however the other grunt runs past an elite who is in the process of boarding the battletank. Davaran hears the clinking on the side and grabs his magnum..

Shxzalor didnt need an answer, he saw Huon as they walked past and took him too, with all of them in the dropship he took off towards the outpost, down in the field he saw human tanks of unkown design, and Zanolar's second boarding one of them. "Take us lower." He said when the black elite activated a sword. The dropship slowed above the tanks, from behind so they would not see, Shxzalor jumped taking the spec ops in the side, and the dropship veered off back the way it came to circle round and avoid the tanks main cannon. "This is not our cause." He said. "This war...is an atrocity and a fatal mistake."

The Tanks maingun, being very different from the scorpion quickly makes the elites realize it is far superior to any human fielded vehicle thus far, the dropship turns to face the tank, however the tanks gun lays silent.. the marine in the turrets gun station raises up as well as davaran.
"This doesn't make sense.. why did they stop?" At the same time, davaran witnesses A awesome sight, The crippled tank fires its primary plasma cannon at 50% its strength due to a broken capacitor... The beam makes a shockwave in the upper atmosphere as it breaks through the cloudline. The turret guidence being the only thing that saves the covenant cruiser caused the beam to impact the right aft of one of the ships, only punching a hole though the shield and grazing the hull (the aft would have the weakest shields since they were in combat they'd divert power to the frontal shields, Mac guns are somewhat feared for thier penetration values) Seconds after the Massive hybrid plasma fusion cannon fires, the back of the tank catches a purplish blue fire then the aft explodes shooting the turret clean off into the ground, a small patch of black land and a crater were now its grave.

Huon stood up and looked around the room.He had been hitr in the head by a red armored elite.He saw a woman nearby and a hunter.A grunt hoit the energy shield which made a noise and huon formed his hand into a gun and made a loading motion.The grunt became fearful and put his hands over his head and shivered.Huon took a good laugh and then he put himself against the wall.They had failedx to remove his com.He went on "Hey guys,Me and this girl got captured i guess so ya know i might have some difficulty going home.Dont bother looking for me and remember to say i loved my wife to her.O and tell my dad i said bye."

He leaned against the plasma wall but the grunt resumed to hit on the plasma wall on his head which sent a lil shock.After 3 pokes he got mad and banged on the wall and hurt the grunts finger and the grunt swore at him and walked away waving his finger in the air.A comical gesture.He was starting to think it woulnt be so bad if there were grunts in his part of the jail.Might put up a little thinbg and attract the grunts and then hit the wall and harm them.A comical experiance to be sure.

[]Well assume huons last post is before Shxzalor rescued him. And how would you hit a cruiser, by the time your bullet or w/e got there the ship would be long gone, and covenant tactics usually involve some type of curve.[]

The black elite smiled, "I have waited for this for a long time."

Shxzalor merely clicked his mandibles, "That may be so, but your still dead." He activated his own sword, but there was one difference, this sword was an older model, and thus was not as powerful, but it was also red, not blue. (Red is a colder color) But it made little difference, a plasma sword is a plasma sword.

[]I am captured and i dunno where the ship is going.Apart from this ola and ten are holding up in a building.[]

(RECAP)

Both pelicans deployed, Sierra Squad, Ten and Nuron in one pelican, driven my Lt. Garrison. Bravo squad, King Dubya’s character and Blood Flower’s character are in the other. They landed, Sierra squad set up a defensive perimeter around the LZ, 2 50 cals (I have squad lay out posted farther back, PM for exact page). Ten lead bravo squad into the outpost, Bravo squad is now dead save for Blood Flower and King Dubya. Garrison got the survivors, but Ten fell out and is now Holding position by a building with Nuron. Huon and Ashwood got captured by Covenant and taken to there base, almost immediately Shxzalor showed up. Grabbed both Huon and Ashwood and “rescued” them, they are now both on the drop ship above the humans really strong tanks.

OOC: (Final Sepharim, how would you hit a ship at that distance, they are in high orbit, by the time the projectile arrived the ship would be thousand of kilometers away.)

(Supatroopa, the Iron Fist is running for escape vector cause its under attack, how did you get on the ship so fast, firstly your pellican is way to slow to catch up, plus the time it would take to get into space in the first place. By what you wrote, you, in less than two minutes, flew out into space AGAINST the gravity, caught a ship that is much faster than your pelican while two covvie battle cruisers are whaling away at it, docked, and are now almost at the bridge?!?! And even if that was possible you abandoned every person on the planet. 😄 You’re a great Rper, this post is a unique incident, try to keep within…possible actions and time frames there shall we?)

Shxzalor ducked under the swing, he could feel the heat of his enemies blade above him, and could hear its metallic hum. Zanolar’s second was young…and impatient. He came up, ramming a shoulder into his chest plate, knocking his foe of his feet and stabbed, but the spec ops rolled to the side dodging his blade, which bit into earth and burned part of the field, starting a fire. No matter, this planets climate will put this fire out, the humans first settlement was flooded after all. His enemy tried an upper cut, but Shxzalor blocked and their swords sparked and smoked as they came together, unstoppable force meeting unstoppable force. He kicked out sending his foe back. “Drop ship, move to the outpost and reinforce the humans there. Two of their own are on that ship (Ashwood and Huon), they wont shoot.”

“HERETIC!” The spec ops roared and charged with renewed fury and rage, “TRAITOR!” Using his supreme strength for his weight (Elites are stronger than most people realise, in one fight an elite nearly overpowered the chief) he battered at Shxzalor’s sword which flew to the side and landed in the field, sparking another fire, this one blazing intensely. Shxzalor dove into the flames, which were spreading at an alarming rate, his shields, also red in place of blue, flaring brightly. The spec ops smiled, “Fool…” and moved back to the tank, which would have trouble tracking him at such a close proximity. He avoided the guns, (In relation to my earlier question, how many MAC rounds can this thing hold?) and started to rip the armor apart with his sword.

Behind him the flames parted revealing our hero, his shields at burnt out and he was on fire in a few places, his eyes blazed with anger, and his sword was now attached to his wrist, a second blade attacked to his other wrist. He swung from both sides, sliding his blades down the Spec Ops, cutting of his hands then butchering his chest. He rose, breathing harder than normal, his black armor outlined with gold shining brightly in the sun, he nodded in the direction of the tank, a human expression shared by the Elites. Could they hear him? “Human, your allies need your help inside your…constructions.”

Above them the drop ship turned slowly, the two Elites holding Huon and Ashwood telling them to remain calm, “We are here to help.”

sorry, so should my guy still be on the planet or on the ship?

The ship us running now that the covvies showed up, so docking with it is impossible, you decide what your going to do, but unless you can find some way to end up on the ship....

ok, I'll stay on the planet.

Garrison: Garrison turned around at the last minute, the ships were in a battle. He flew back down to the surface and looked for a suitable position for a temporary HQ. He saw the abandoned outpost they were ambushed at. All he could see were dead covies and marines. he said over the loudspeaker

--get ready for deployment--

He landed in the middle of the road and touched down. the marines piled out and started to make a defensive perimeter. He got out and grabbed his body armor vest and his SMG. In 15 minutes they constructed a suitable base. they found sandbags in one of the buildings, as well as a large garage to store the pelicans. Garrison set up a desk in the garage and found a Marine with a radio pack. he grabbed the phone and said

Ten, Nuron, Huon, Ashwood, Zulu-749, if any of you copy, come to the outpost. The Iron Fist is incapable of taking us in. we have set up a HQ at the ambush point. come to our position if you get this message.--

--this is Zulu-749, we had a little Banshee problem on the way down, but we should be okay. *Mumbles heard in the background* What? Where? OH SHIT! *explosion heard.* We're hit, we're hit, we're going down!! Position is Charlie-7553. Mayday, mayday!--

Garrison realized where that was. he ran up the stairs of the garager building untill he got to the roof. he ran by the dead body of a grunt and looked out by the forest area. He saw the pelican come in fast and hard. the belly of it was on fire, and there was a gaping hole on the bottom of the troop hold. it hit the ground and instantly exploded. a group of banshees flew by the wreckage and strafed the building. Garrison didnt even flinch as the plasma rounds just missed him. as the pair of Banshees turned around for another attack, 3 marines with Rocket Launchers burst out the door onto the roof and fired the locked-on projectiles. both aircraft were turned into balls of flame. Garrison took another look at the wreckage, and went inside.

Ten loaded a clip into is AR, his second last, "Were making our way towards the defenseive area, lets hope its in a good spot." He took point, leading the men towards Garrison's location, he opened his comm, "Garrison, report! Who crashed!?"

Garrison put his helmet back on and said in the head set

--It was one of my pelicans i sent to evac the ones i couldn't fit into Kilo-619. What's your position? Do you want an Evac?--

Huon went on the comm "Hello?Im in a cell in a ship over the base and i was wondering could someone be so kind as to shoot this mutha f*cker down?Thanks!"

(Ok for one, this beam moves at the speed of light, that is much quicker than the normal drives of a covenant ship not in slipspace.. it is in essense a Photon beam.. I was saying it was a hybrid plasma cannon, plasma is what makes the sun.. the only thing we see from the sun is the light emitted from it, the plasma itself is more or less a intense radiation that emits a very bright pulsating blue light, Light moves at 299 792 458 meters / ssecond, I'm completely sure it can break atmosphere in time to hit a covenant ship as it only takes 8 1/2 minutes for sunlight to reach the earth...

The MAC gun is a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, It uses magnets to Propel a Metalic object at terminal velocity to Pierce shields and armor.. It doesn't Require a "special" ammo at all, Actually the Shells in HALO2 are of the same metal the scorpion tank uses.. just no explosive shell.. The Tiger Uses the Same shells the Scorpion tank uses which are small and easily stored.. it can carry about 50-60 shells in its magazine, the Huge Plasma Hybrid gun can fire an almost unlimited amount of shots, however cool down is a big concern, It draws in hydrogen and Accelerates it into lithium atoms to create a supercharged hydrogen atom, that is what makes up the plasma, and hydrogen is abundant.. so it has the fuel for its gun, it just takes a long time to cool down.)

Davaran slowly emerges from the Turret hatch and eyes the dropship.. "There has to be a reason they haven't opened fire.. They could have easily taken us out by now with boarding parties.." The marine looks back "I dont know... what do we do now?". Davaran turns his head to see the abandoned post.. "Well being saved ourselves wont be a possibility seeing as our marines left us behind.." the marine looks at him.. "I'm still here sir, and I wouldn't have it any other way." The marine grabs his magnum and smiles.

(Oh, nvm then, I thought uou were just another person using Plasma as an example cause its common and "sounds cool" I didnt know you knew what it actually was.)

Shxzalor ordered the dropship to move towards the outpost, it was now moving, he ran himself towards the outpost, slashing through a trio of elites on the way there.

Heh, If I was going to add something to the tank that sounded cool it'd be the friendship ray, it can't be avoided and makes everyone Happy!!! 😄
war ends, humanity dies... from multiple gay encounters.)

Davaran looks down at Shxzalor, "Uh.. how do we know you're not lying.. and how would be know who to shoot?" It was now very obvious to Shxzalor that these were no foot soldiers.. but expirienced tank hunters.

Huon kep[t walking around his energy cell and before he asked a elite what would happen but the elite just made a little laugh.

He went on hios comm for anyone to talk to for a bit...

"You can assume what you want, if they are wearing black and gold armor, their mine and dont shoot." Shxzalor leaped on the tank and handed the marine his second sword, (Red is cool 😄) "Use this, I have a feeling your going to need it." Shxzalor saw a flash off in the distance, almost a kilometer away, Sniper! He spun, and angled his sword using the Jackals supreme sight and skill against it, the beam glanced off the blade and bit into the dirt in fronto of the tank. He drew his second weapon, his own beam rifle, and jumped just as another beam reflected off the tanks plating, he dove into the field, he would have moved slowly, but the fires gave ample distraction, he came to a boulder and cut handolds with his sword, he checked his rifle while he waited for them to cool. A few seconds later he climbed up onto the rock and fired almost instantly, and dove off the rock at the same time, his own shot nailed the Jackal between the eyes, his enemies return fire glanced off the shields at the near non existent angle, but they still flashed out. He landed heavily and rolled to his feet, wondering what to do next.

OUTPOST

The dropship landed a piece from the defensive perimter and they filed out, Huon and Ashwood with the covenant, "Stay with us if you want to survive this fire fight." One of the elites said, his red armor had black and hold patches on the chest plate and shoulder pads, like the blue one. They made their way towards the defensive perimiter around the LZ, not the greatest place to set one up...in the middle of enemy controlled streets.

Behind the still falling faceless jackel a large blue object is seen by the marine manning the gunners position.. about 4 wraith tanks and perhaps a few spectre gunships all carrying blue and silver elites make their way through the forested area... and behind them the complex we need to get to.. davaran yells to the elite.. "Get in!! hurry! we can punch through the no problem."
