Halo: Darkness Ascendant

Name: Alex Gallen

(If Needed), Number: 192

Known as: Contigency Spartan 007

Age: 33

Race: Human, Spartan

Appearance: Alex's armor is dark green mixed with platelets of bright gold, giving a shifty appearance. Looking at the armor seems to hurt normal human's eyes as the many small platelets of bright gold refelct light into their eyes.

Occupation: "Lone Wolf" Spartan

Rank: Seargant

Personality: Alex is queit, though not nessicarily an unhappy person. He often appears to be either brooding or sizing you up, though realistically he is just lost in thought. He frequently loses concentration when not on a mission, but when he is on one he is single-minded. This contributed to his current status as a Lone Wolf Spartan, as he did not work well in a team save on the occasional pairing missions with the contigency team of Spartans. He is usually warm and receptive, if somewhat absentminded.

History: Classified.

((Ah...sorry bud, we already have the limit on the amount of Spartans to be played in the game. Sorry...))

PLANET

Shxzalor watched the human, and the brother Elite through the combat. He saw that the human was not dead. The Elite had no killed him. When the human held out a hand, and spoke, “The hate…has to end here…” Shxzalor stopped himself from running into the room and helping the human. This Keroth, it looked as though more of his brethren were opening their eyes.

Ten was near the garage when he saw Shxzalor spying in through a hole between the wall and the door. He stopped, and arched an eyebrow. What the…? He walked up to Shxzalor, “Wh-“ He started but Shxzalor cut him off. “Shh human, do not speak.” He motioned to the door with his head. Ten saw the Elite and Davaran standing inside, he moved to charge into the room when Shxzalor stopped him. “Follow me.” Slowly, as to appear unthreatening, Shxzalor opened the door, and he and Ten walked in side by side. Ten looked at Davaran, then spoke to him through the comm. “What is going on?” Shxzalor looked at Keroth. “Honorable bother, my name is Shxzalor.”

PELLICAN

”Two Covenant fighters coming in on our six!” The co-pilot shouted suddenly. Plasma flashed by the cockpit from behind. The Pilot yelled, “HOLD ON!” Before the Pelican spun off to the side, using all sorts of moves to keep out of the Seraphs guns. The Pelican rolled to one side, then shot off into the rings surrounding Diagona, “We may be able to lose them in here!” The pilot shouted.

The Pelican shot in among the asteroids, hoping to use them as cover. It was no go, the Fighters were hot on their tail. The Pelican flew under one asteroid, and around another, but the Fighters were not to be shaken. Plasma bolts shot over head, they hit one smaller asteroid, which overheated and ruptured. The debris could be heard impacting along the pelican’s hull. “Hang tight!” The Pelican went around one larger asteroid, but half way around, it suddenly landed. The Seraphs shot on the wrong way, but soon turned to come back. The pelican had gained some distance.

The pilot saw from the flying debris some of the asteroids were now moving, drifting around. That would work to their advantage, the pelican was much more maneuverable that a Seraph, it was slower. Diving in among the hellish ocean of shifting rock, he saw two that were coming together. Rolling the pelican he shot through, he was rewarded when one of the Seraph’s ran into the rocks, imploding itself. His wing mate came hurtling through the explosion, burned and smoking. It was damaged. The pelican dove deeper into the rings, Plasma was flying everywhere now, the Covenant pilot was getting desperate. Chunks of asteroid were hurtling in all directions. One particularly large asteroid was ahead of them. “We have to come around and fly through that storm!” The pilot shouted.

“Are you insane!” His partner shouted back. “We’ll get shredded!”

”Just hope that alien bastard does first, and we get out of here alive.” He didn’t tell his passengers to hold on, they already were. The pelican shot around the asteroid, hugging it’s surface, plasma bolts shot past it from all sides, hitting the rock and the heat meeting the cold caused the rock to explode outward, throwing debris in all directions, each time the Pelican jerked away. The plasma bolts could be seen through the cockpit. One pair hit right in front of them, the pelican was jerked away from the asteroid. The pilot was slammed to the side, alarms started beeping. He leveled the bird out again before shouting, “Status!”

The co-pilot shouted back, not believing his own words. “Nothing big…no breaches in the pelican, were still air tight. Electrical system is fine, were good still.”

The Pelican finished the loop, the Seraph behind it, the plasma bolts still coming. It was a wonder the guns hadn’t melted. A chunk of asteroid shot by, “Turn on Evasive Radar!” A screen lit up, showing debris, and obstacles and their trajectories. The Pelican weaved it’s way through the rock storm. “Hope that Fighter gets blown apart before we leave the hazard zone, we cant keep out of it’s guns forever.” The pilot spoke into the comm.

They pelican flew through the debris, which was flying in all directions. It could be heard pinging off the outside of the ship. “There is too much debris we have to pull out!” The co shouted, “NEGATIVE!” A brilliant ball of light appeared from behind them. “Gotcha you ba-“ However the Seraph got off one last shot, which hit one of the pelicans back engines. Suddenly the pelican rocket violently. The Pilot looked at his console. “Were hit!”

Raevynn clentched her teeth as her fears were turned to reality. She was hopless in this situation. THere was nothing she could do but hold on and pray this pilot kept up.

The spartan grabbed for a support beam and braced herself as the pelican shook violently. Marines and cargo were thrown about the inside of the pelican like rag dolls. She pulled herself along using the support beam, making her way towards the cockpit. She had to make sure the pilots were alright.

The pilot was fighting to get the Pelican under control, but with one of the back engines blown off, it was impossible. The Pelican was in an uncontrolled spin, in outer space, flying through a planets rings. “Mayday, this is Wraith One, we’ve lost mainhrusters and we are out of control. Repeat, we have lost control and we are going down.” He turned to see the Spartan open the door. “No! Lock yourselves in the back, It’s air tight!”

”The gauges are spiking!” Back on the Iron Fist captain Jack ran to one of the consoles on the bridge and looked over the mans shoulder. “Sir! Wraith One has been hit, they’ve lost control. They’re not going to make it.”

”Try to get back power, get it under control! We’ve lost the engine, electrical power is decreasing, were losing her completely.” The pilot turned back to the Spartan. “You need to keep those marines alive. We failed in our job, just survive so you can do yours.” He paused, before getting back to work. “We’ve lost RCS thrusters, get them back up.” He started flicking buttons again.

It was flying dead, no control. Rocks hit the cockpit, cracks etched along it’s length. The co-pilot spoke. “Oh my god this is it…” Then the front of the pelican crumpled, and the cockpit shattered as the Pelican hid a larger asteroid. “AAAAAAHHHHH! NOOOO!” The Pilot and Co-pilots screams died away as they were sucked out through the remaining glass and into space. The door to the cockpit slammed shut. And the Pelican cleared the rings.

Can i get a recap?

Raevynn held on just outside the door to the cockpit. She stared vacantly and wide eyed into the floor. Both pilots were gone. It took her a second to regain her composure, but the pilot was right. She had her job, and she was going to get it done at any cost.

A marine flew past her, his reflexes to slow for him to catch hold of something. Raevynn grabed the back of his collar and pulled him to the support beam. "Grab hold of something!" She roared over the ear peircing noise of alarms and bits of rock slamming into the dropship.

Several marines were still buckeled in. The marine she spared earlier pulled himself into a seat and struggled to strap himself in. He yelled out as something red spattered across his face. Another marine slammed face first into the deck, his unhelmeted head smashed like a tomato, sending droplets of blood into the air as his now lifeless body was thrown about the hull.

Raevynn still stood, ignoring the slight disorentation from all the spinning. All the marines- minus the KIA- were buckled down. She was suprised at how quickly they adapted. That was the easy part. Now all they had to do was survive the crash. She closed her eyes and waited.

((You stayed with Sierrs sqaud, so your shooting out of he windows on the 4ht floor of the building.))

TO HUON

The Pelican was being bounced around as if it weighed nothing, there was a deafening boom when it reached the planets atmosphere, the new armor with sub-molecular polymer strands withstood the plummet and the heat caused by the friction. The pelican looked as though it were engulfed in flame, it looked like a meteor. It pretty much was.

The Sarge looked at the Spartan, “Can you get to the cockpit and gain at least some control before we land. I know if you open that door me and my men are as good as dead, but we will die in the crash anyway. At least do something to save yourself.”

Keroth looks at Shxzalor, "I come with dire news... My infiltration of high charity was sucessful.. but.. the bad news is, the prophets have a new arbitor.. " Davaran looks at him, "arbitor? I'm at a loss now.." Keroth speaks once more.. "There, is word of a depot near here, where.. there could possibly be phantom gunships.. and possibly a seraph or two.. keep in mind this has been a bait world for a while now.." Davaran steps back a bit.. "o....k.. can someone please fill me in? I know what a wraith is.. I know what a Y dropship is.. what the hell is a phantom?"

Huon got up from a window he was behind and started shooting through it.He missed a grunt and killed two more.His ammo was low but he had a little bit of ammo left over.He shot off 2 more shots and managed to kill a grunt.Then he crouched down and reloaded.He put a piece of hershey bar in his mouth and chewed.Then he resumed shooting at the covenant.

[]Can i kill off my guiy?Since we have no covenant people....or any that are on the covenant side of the war[]

Davaran begins to poke around the last tank in the garage, hoping it still worked.. at that time he glances up to the turret.. only to see the wall behind, a window.. with a streak of orange and red flame "uh guys?" Keroth walks over.. "Fire rains from the sky? it looks like a vessel of some sort.." davaran looks more closely.. realizing how far away it is he still makes the assumption "It can't be a pelican.. I used to fly those and that thing is way too big... could it be one of yours?" Keroth replies.. "I honestly dont think so, our shields protect us from atmospheric entry, and our armor.."

In a quick second the Spartan thought about opening the doors to the cockpit, but on the other side of those doors was a firey chaotic mess. There was hardly a chance shed be able to do anything without getting thrown from the pelican. Maybe if she was a better pilot. But both Raevynn and the marine knew that when those doors opened the heat from their entry into the atmpshpere would be more than the marines armor could handle. She was not going to sacrafice them all.

"Negative, Seargent!" She yelled over all the noise. "I never was a good pilot. And Im not going to take that chance. Just sit tight, luck's been on our side so far..."

Without warning the ship shuddered violently, nearly throwing Raevynn to the floor. She knew they were mere seconds away from impact.

Davaran thinks hard about the magnetic energy weapon of the tiger, he realizes.. it could POSSIBLY be used to slow or even completely stop the fireball for a limited amount of time.. he looks at shxzalor, "It'd only take me a few minutes, but that means the core would be fried.. the turret wouldn't be able to deploy for long range fire.. but it may save who ever is on that thing.. if anyone is.." keroth looks at shxzalor, "He is right, saving lives is our concern.. its your call honorable one."

Huon kept shooting.He had wondered where he had gotten the name from....His dad seemed to have picked it out.He shrugged and kept firing.He shot off a grunt.But then he saw a wraith come in from a corner street.Hew positioned and 2 grenades from lower levels of the buildings were lobbed at it.But it just damaged soem of the side armor.The machinegunner positioned in a broke corner shot at it and managed to destroy some minor circuits.But the alien tank remained undaunted and angry.It shot a blue ball of light towards the machine gunner and he was destroyed in the blue explosion of plasma.Some of the building collapsed and killed 2 good marines that were at the sides.Then the wraith tank positioned itself again.this time it was aimed at a couple of marines shooting at it.It got ready to fire.Then it did.It knocked out those 2 marines and then a marine with a launcher got out from his hole.He had the new model of rockets.Then he aimed and fired.It bug into the unprotected side.There was a elite scream and then the tanks backend exploded and blew out a small portion of a wall on nearby buildings.Then it fell silent.There wasa loud cheer followed by more bullets.Huon looked at the destroyed tank.He stared for a moment and then he aimed and fired at a elite who had used the tank as some cover.The elite shot at huon and then at another marine.Huon fired another round off and it hit the elite in the shoulder.his shield had gone down and now 2 marines shot at him and picked him off.Huon reloaded and then checked a small roster via his mini little camera on his helmet.It read 17 marines in the building.Huon knew that was bad and called for backup.

"This is Huon Briggs.We need assisstance at <coordinates>.We need some marines to get over here.We have 17 marines here.Now who here would like to come here and share our beer?"

He knew the last part might make some marines laugh.Although it was merely motivational.Huon hoped that soon a squad of marines would come here and save him.

"I guess I am gonna lose the title of Lord Tekka" He said and smiled. He had to think positive, and not of all the elite brothers and other allies that he lost on the ship he blew up. What was he thinking when blowing the ship up. It was all his fault and he knew it. He was now divind to an unknown destination, and pretty insecure on how the welcoming would be once he have reached it.
The pod passed a meteorstorm and Tekka felt how it started to shake. He many times did not realise how lucky he was. He flew only inches away from an meteor that would crush him in an instant. The pod even flew trough an hole of one of the meteors, and while doing stuff like this without taking harm or anything Tekka sighted. "Why should I be so unlucky?" He said depressed and tried to stand up more comfortable. "I hate small spaces" He said as it continued dive towards the planet without a scratch from the meteorstorm.
Some marines where standing on an high floor of an building and watching outside. First that pelican was going down, but if they looked closely they could see an tiny ODP comming their way, right towards the building in high speed.
Tekka felt the ODP started shaking and he realised it was close to impact. He held on thigh, and was ready for anything that waited on the other side of that door, once he have kicked it open. Holding his two double bladed energyblades he stared into the door that he would kick open any moment now. What he did not realise was that it would crash right into an building and maybe fly further away.
"I laugh in the face of danger.. Whatever awaits me, it better run. I have alot of agressivity that need to be released, and the first thing in sight will taste that agression on to them" He gripped his blades tighter and was ready to charge armies of thousands or whatever was on his impact site. He knew that if there where marines down there waiting for him they would shoot first and ask question later since an elite among humans was not popular these days, so he would have to do the first move. "Whoever it is" He said.
He fighting for the same cause as them, might be accurate, but him fighting side by side with them, that is an different story.

~~ Tekka has long fought against the covenant, but he have not fought side by side with the humans, so he is at this moment hostile to both sides, except for the covenants that fight with the humans. "The heretics". Therefore he will fight whatever awaits him down there. His impact is your call, but please dont control him in any way except the landing please. I want to kick the ODP open myself. ~~

Halo equal shit...

If you don't like it, then leave. Why would you come to something you didn't like?

((Huon...where did Seventeen marines come from the single squad? Sierra squad?...There aren't seventeen marines on the planet in total. Well say you have sierra squad...you left off with them anyway...there are ten people in a squad. You can't just make up marines out of nowhere that don't exist. Maybe in some larger battles...much larger....*hint hint*))

((Dont kill members of Sierra Squad, not yet.))

((I'm not meaning to be bossy Huon, but only TWO sqauds of marines came down in the first place, no only one of them is left alive, so right now there are not 17 marines left alive, let alone being with you. But since your last post was with Sierra Squad, you can be with those marines, it's as close to your post as I can allow. Try to remember these things. Thx. ))

“My rank is lower than that of an Elite who bears the armor of the color of blood Keroth. Social status, or military rank are not all that deserve respect. But in this instance, the call is not mine, I will not be here to watch the action. Your word is your bond. This is your decision.” He turned to Ten. “It seems we are at a stroke of luck. The other ship that was here must have had more members of the resistance than I had thought. This is a battle we can win.”

There was a huge boom as the Covenant Drop Pod crashed through the top of the building at a very shallow angle, it blew out a section of the top, then crashed through a second building before finally coming to a rest one street over, out of view of the humans and their allies. It moved so fast no one saw what it was, though they could guess. Ten froze as soon as the sound echoed, “I think we have company…that sound was something crashing very very fast. Maybe a drop pod?”

~~~~~~

The Pelican was shaking like mad, moving at terminal velocity, it smashed through a taller building, leaving a gaping hole behind it, and crashed through the roof of a shorter building, smashing through it, like the previous building, without slowing down in the least. However the ground was a different story…the Pelican stopped dead, slamming into the ground, it slid across the floor, or rather…through the floor, before it hit the far wall, the shattered front of the ship and cockpit sticking out through the wall for a few feet. A few Covenant saw this…they stared at the small portion of the wrecked pelican sticking out through the wall from the inside of the building…then at the obliterated front…and shattered cockpit. They would soon realize this was a way into the building to kill any survivors.

~~~~~~~

Ten saw the Pelican crash, for he had run up to the first floor to see the drop pod through the window, instead he had seen their backup smash through a building, then it was lost behind the roofs of other buildings. He waited for a second, thinking. “Ten, this is Huon, a friendly Pelican just crashed, I’m sure you saw it, if you can, take Sierra Squad to the crashed Pelican. I know you are a higher rank, but Razak keeps command of the squad. I’ll be there as fast as I can.”
