Space E-war

"Of course," responded Grievous. His ships and planetary weapons kept a wary eye on the Marican battleship. Allies or not, he knew how tenuous the agreement was.

Within an instant the Covenant Elite's ships warped through slipspace and were in orbit over a planet belonging to the Imperials. After much thought, they decided it was better to invade the Imperials' planets, that way it would reduce the chance of the parasitic lifeforms from infesting other planets and colonizing there. The fleet moved into orbit and was prepared to launch a full-scale attack...

Elch sat in the compartment bay of one of the many hundreds of Phantoms in the Sangheili fleet. He readied his Needler, narrowing his eyes in anticipation. He'd FINALLY get a chance to do something to keep him from being bored day after day...

"Activate the plantary shields...its about time those ******** attacked..." The field general down below replied.

"What of Lord Revan, his fleet is still nearby, maybe we can.." The commander was shutted up.

"You fool...you think it matters if they take this planet...were just an outpost were not important. Your loyal to the Empire and will serve it...do not think we need help. As for Revan he is busy at war with those traitorous droids keep those shields ready and activate base cloaking.." The field general responded as the commander nodded.

Moments later a large emergancy alarm echoed on through as troopers scrambled into the base as a powerful plantary shield activated. The base was then wiped out from radar as jamming technologies all over the planet would them longer...if anything they were to gather info so the main forces can deal with them later but as for now...they would have to fight his battle gurellia style. No space forces here...they were decimated the first time they engaged the Elites head on foolishly and they suffered for it now they had to use different tactics despite it was the total oppiste the army was intended for as Clone Troopers were elite troopers in casual warfare relying on their superior numbers, ability and firepower...not hidng and striking and ambushing, they've done it before a few times but this wasnt a good time considering they where going up against a powerful foe.

Meanwhile the stealth craft had entered the Imperial Planet...landing into the thick jungles...one by one the Predators piled out of the cloaked ship as they began to make a move towards the Imperial Base which was about a mile away or so.

Alpha stabbed his Glaive into the ground as he scanned htrough the planet, the heat seeing warrior stayed cloaked as Duel Shoulder Cannons moved around as he nodded to the other elite wariors besides him. They had never hunted these humans before but they seemed to be much more powerful with stronger weapons...however scanner picked up incoming forces, obviouly a battle was going on and with the thick jungle and a battle to distract the both of them...a hunt was in session.

The two praetorians hadn't found any humans or predators to use as hosts and decided to head back to their hive. They knew about the xeno empress and knew that their queen would not challenge the ascendent ruler again as she had in the past. The empress had ensured that her fellow queens had stopped batteling without needing to now that she was in power.

The battleship swung silently into orbit, slowing down into passive mode. Its nano shield was still at full capacity however, the captain wasn't sure he could trust this General grevious. He would have to send an envoy down to meet him later...

The scientists fought to keep up with Ark'aran as he glided through the corridors. He was searching for something like a vent... He was glancing at the roof when something cought his attention. A gattleing gun built into the top of the corridor. It seemed this lab wasn't as defenceless as he thought it was. The scientists barreled around the corner as he turned direction, stareing right at them...

Serephir chuckled as he led the man over to a large gateway, blue light iminating from it. "This gateway will take you to one of the trade centers in the country. one of the more wealthy sectors in the country, so you shouldn't have TOO much trouble selling off what you have" said Serephir, before turning and leaving, entering a room and flicking a switch on a console, the staff in the room giving him a salute as he walked through a portal, heading for the VAMCEB HQ...


Aragren escorted the Koultians to the entrance of the Airlock, and said "Perhaps while on Ka' Roll we'll meet again"...

[dinoman666]

Grievous said through the com, "This droid," he motioned to the yellow-marked battle droid standing beside him, "is OOM-6. If you want anything from me, contact him first from now on." Grievous turned, his cape swirling, as he headed to the hangar. He flew out of the ship and to the planet in Soulless One to oversee the completion of Invisible Hand II.

The chestburster had moulted once again, leaving more shed skin on the ground. It was now starting to develop arms and was largert han it had been when it had first emerged from the host. It would be another 12 hours before it was mature, though. A drone nearby pickedu p another egg and began to carry it off to the egg chamber, where the corpse of the dead human would also be taken from the wall and given to the chestburster to give it something to eat.

[Anaclagon]

A small scouting party was in the group, checking if the elites had landed...however unknown to them, a large, caped figure watched from the distance. His heat vision saw the targets but they were encased mostly in armor. They were also darker then the warm eviroment and their obvious moment made it simple to see them. The Predators analyzed their weapons...riffles, accurate and rapid firing blasters that unleashed bolts of blue plasma energy yet not as nearly as powerful as their Shoulder Cannons. Alpha analyzed them as he preapred to make a move but he wanted to see the Elites to see which should have been targeted first..

[Legendary Elite]

Within a moment several normal Cruisers jumped into slipspace ruptures and appeared in the sky across the Space Station, then one massive Covenant ship entered into orbit over the planet's surface. This one was an Assault Carrier with the others being carriers. The CCS Battlecruiser of the Supreme Commader orbited in space with the main fleet. Kepe sat at the gravity throne of the Assault Carrier.
"All ships engage!" He said to his fleet.
Within an instant, a flurry of Banshees and Phantoms were launched from Kepe's 3 mile Carrier. The others being smaller also did the same. The pods then began to launch as Elites prepared to attack on foot...

[Anaclagon]

"They could just glass the planet..." The commander slowly replied.

"Pull the scouts back into the base and make sure those shields hold...as for the elites...we'll have to do what we can.." The Field General replied, he still felt pride for the empire despite the most likely inpending doom.

As the 3 man squad of clone troopers recieved their orders they began to head back to their base when suddenly...in a sharp crack that echoed through the quiet jungle a burst of plasma slammed right into the skull of one of the troopers sending the other two, scrambling for cover behind a log as they began to open fire randomly yet their attacker wasnt seen.

Alpha dashed foward the downed group as the troopers rasised their head when suddenly a figure jumped down in front of them. They couldnt see it at all but they knew something was in front of them as suddenly an invisble weapons slashed through the skull off of them before he was stabbed through the chest sending the last trooper backing up..he had never seen such a foe.

Blood dripped from the blood stained Glaive weapon. The last trooper grabbed his riffle at the back.

"Come on!" The trooper yelled as the Invisible Hunter recorded it as the riffle was batted towards him. While invisible...a pair of 18 inch, plasma forged Wrist Blades shot as they then plunged right into the trooper's gut as stabbed the trooper mid body. The trooper struggled as the killer removed his weapon as he then pointed his glaive towards the downed trooper and stabbed him...finishing him off.

His comrades had watched, it wasnt much of a display, it was just standard stealth and efficant killing ability. Growing the Lead Predator looked at his comrades as they nodded and fanned out, awaiting more clone troopers and the incoming elites.

[Legendary Elite]

OoC: Ok, last post and then I'm off.

Kepe knew that glassing the planet meant that they could loose valuable information with regards to the hostile lifeforms from the forerunner planet. On the planet's surface, Banshee's were already doing bomb runs. First there was loud swiring and then loud explosions following with a combination of Plasma Cannons and Fuel Rod Bombs with plenty more boosting towards the battle scene with their propulusion drives. The elites were holding their own on the ground. This wasn't like last time with SpecOps, this was an actual assault so the Special Ops weren't required at the moment. The Green phantoms also had active camouflage cloaks which could be activated at anytime, making them oblivious to the enemy. In conclusive, this battle would be a not so difficult one. The Imperials would be easily no match for the Sangheili....

[Anaclagon]

Due to the fact the Imperials had learned their lession in ground warfare they did what they needed to. Due with no fleet above for support or no massive armies, they would have to fight this battle gurellia style. Because of this stealth troopers who specilazed in hiding and stealth recorded data as due to the jammers on the planet unknown disabled radar and scanners and the natural jungle of the planet itself made finding ground forces hard. Soon the Imperials would soon start sniping as their powerful planetary shield protected their base for now...

Meanwhile the Predators were already watching some of the Elites...analyzing their weapons and armor...they where tall and strong, much taller then the regular clone troopers and they each had different weapons. When the battle began..thats when they would really strike..

[dinoman666]

What looked a meteorite streaked through the sky above the Imperial outpost. Thanks to the jamming devices, the Sangheili ships did not detect the object.

[Doc 42]

The Koultians left the ship without another word, returning back to its hull and fireing off in their Personal Pods towards the koultian cruisers... The explosives were drawn back towards their respective ships and the Vardians allowed to continue....

[Legendary Elite]

Kepe was watching from the battle on the holo-panel, annoyed that their communications had been jammed...somewhat. Only the motion trackers were unable to be used but all other forms of communication were still unnaffected. As he watched he saw something streak across the sky in the distance. Immediately he pointed at the object "Zoom in on that object!" He ordered and a Minor at the controls pressed a few buttons and to Kepe's suprise it was actually a meteorite. But it was just one, not more. Kepe wondered what it was but still, he had a fleet to command and so knew he would have to worry about it later. He watched as his troops both Minors and Majors and Ultras along with the Stealth Elites fought onward, taking out the enemy. At one point he saw Needler Rounds from a Major shooting at an Imperial Trooper in a group. The crystalline shells flew toward the target, homing in and exploded upon impact with 3 explosions as 7 struck the trooper and the explosion causing damage to the others around the Imperial Trooper. The two Minors had Duel Plasma Rifles and so were easily gunning down the troopers with a fusion of dual Plasma burning the troops. The Major struck the next Trooper with just a few rounds, it wasn't much but brought enough pain as the crystalline made themselves at home in the Imperial's gut before the Major ran up for a quick melee attack across the Imperial's head. Even if a Needler didn't use seven crystals up at once, it was extremely effective against the Troopers, it had been devastating to the humans they had met before from Earth...

The drone that had gone into the egg chamber where the dead host was had now removed the hive webbing with ease thanks to it's claws and was starting to drag the body to the queen's chamber, where the chestburster was. Even when dead, the hosts were still useful for a hungry xeno. The queen herself would inform her kin when she was hungry, but she wasn't right now.

[Anaclagon]

Snipers started to appear as they began to snipe out individual as the clone troopers took cover as they lay down supressing power as powerful plasma bolts began to blast through shields and skin alike as the bolts the size of baseballs ripped through enemy forces. Mines were activated, blasting elites apart with ease as troopers appeared to come from all over the place, taking before falling back as they attacked in gurellia style. Even nature was used against the elites as falling logs appeared coming from cliffs as they rolled over enemy troopers..

The Imperials held despite the odds as they felt no fear or pain as they continued to fight, throwing gernades as they continued to fight having no intentions on stopping. Turrets hidden in the underbush appeared in front lines as they began to tear through the ranks...they knew an attack was coming and despite their lack of numbers or a space fleet above, they adapted to their gurellia tactics quite well. Their flash training recieved earlier allowed them to fight the elites more evenly in a way knowing their tactics...

Revan who had been in the Annihilator was aware of the battle but jammers prevented any visuals. Against the elites however, his men were doomed and he wanted to go back and save them but this Dark Lord of the Sith had another war, a war that demanded more attention. As massive as the Imperial Fleet was, they could not send reinforcements due to the fact they were all concentrated on the empire itself and its other territories not some lone planet..

Meanwhile Alpha stood high in the tree tops as the battle went on as he watched the battle...he prepared to jump in, weapons poised as he prepared. The elites were strong and would make valuable trophies as the Imperial Troopers were strong as well. This would make quite the interesting hunt.

[Iceking]

The xeno empress was watching her kin go about their work. Her warriors were either in conversation or just resting. A drone was moving a new egg off into the huge egg chamber that was larger than usual in most hives thanks to the larger size of this hive.
