David Kilgore Excerpt
David Kigore parked the Necros Nemesis LRV he arrived on and walked across the runway of a Necros airfield. The Warrior Forms guarding the base paid him no attention, for David had hacked the Necros' IFF codes. The Necros thought he was an Agressor. But David was no mindless half-cybernetic killing machine, he was a Revenant, the product of a failed conversion. True he was a killing machine, but David did not kill humans, he killed Necros, and he was far from mindless. David was on a highly dangerous mission to infiltrate a Necros airfield and capture a Necros Adversary fighter. To do this, David had to replace the Necros AI in the fighter, which was basically a high end UAV, with a UNSC AI. David appeared to be alone, buit connected to his neural interface, theres was another, the UNSC AI Gungnir. David walked over to the nearest Adversary and, after making sure the Necros guards, David opened the dome containing the AI on the fighter, located where the cockpit would have been on most aircraft. David removed the computer chip containing the Necros AI and crushed it in his titanium hands. David that loaded Gungnir's chip into the AI port. The AI's Avatar, a blood red hologram of the Norse god Odin stood in the AI dome. "I'll keep in radio contact", David said, "Cover me if the Necros realize my true identity. Keep covering until I reach the extraction point, then land this thing at the carrier", David said. At that, the dome covering the AI closed and the Adversary took off. At once, several Necros Warriors started firng at David. David returned fire with the pulse carbine in his arm, shooting back as he ran for a Nemesis LRV he had parked near the side of the building. David got on the vehicle and sped off along the runway as a pair Necros Shrieker Interceptor began strafing his vehicle. Lasers and pulse rounds whizzed by his head. Suddenly, David heard a loud whizzing sound and an even louder explosion. He look back to see a missile impact each of the Necros interceptors, followed by an Adversary fighter, which flew overhead as more Adversaries taxied down the runway. "Gungnir", David turned on his radio and said, "Crater the runway, use the anti-capital ship missiles if you don't have any bombs" Two anti-capital ship missiles slammed into the runway. "Ha ha ha! Now begins Ragnarök!", Gungnir's voice boomed through the radio as the missile exploded behind David. A squad of Necros Warriors lead by a Sergeant ran into David's path, one of them pointing a Vindicator Missile at him. David squeezed the triggers on the handlebars of the Nemesis LRV. The twin rotary pulse cannons spat a hail of plasma bolts that perforated the Necros squad as David sped off, the Adversary controlled by Gungnir above and behind him, strafing the surviving grounded Necros aircraft and shooting down a pair of Carrions that managed to take off. David turned the Nemesis onto the road David would have to follow for a few miles to reach his extraction point, where a Pelican Dropship would pick his. Two more Nemesises and a Fury APC drove towards David's Nemesis LRV. David fired the pulse cannons and managed to fill one of the LRVs with holes. The alien LRV missed the burst it attempted to fire at him and overshot him. The Warrior form riding the Nemesis raised a Pulse Pistol, but David was too fast. He pointed his right arm at the driver and fired the pulse carbine hidden within the mechanical arm. The driver of the Nemesis flew off his vehicle and slid along the ground as his vehicle spun out of control. Gungnir's fighter strafed the Fury as the AI exclaimed "I love APCs, so crunchy!!!". Up ahead, another danger loomed, dozens of Necros vehicles: Fury APCs, Butcher IFV, Annihilator AFVs, Compound tanks, Eviscerator light tanks, and even an Eradicator heavy tank. "Gungnir", David yelled into his radio, "Take out those tanks!!!". Lasers and plasma bolts rained from the skies at Necros armor. Tanks caught fire left and right as they were hit by the hail of heavy energy weapons fire. "BURN!!!!!!", Gungnir yelled as the tanks became their own funeral pyre. As David weaved the Nemesis through the wreckage, he couldn't help thinking that Gungnir liked blowing stuff up a little too much. Beyond the the wreckage, David could see the Pelican Dropship sent to pick him up flying in. The craft landed and David left his Nemesis behind and climbed aboard the craft. The Pelican returned to an orbiting carrier, Gungnir and the Adversary by it's side. Both aircraft landed aboard the UNSC craft.

Another Excerpt
David Kilgore sat at the controls of an M-1050 Brown Bear Anti-Heavy Walker Vehicle, along with the rest of his old unit, the Sixth Armored Division. It was the first time he had driven his old vehicle since he had become a Revenant. David's AHWV was parked on top a mesa in a desert area on (planet pending), along with the rest of his old unit. They were supposed to intercept a Despot Conversion Super Walker, eliminate it's escorts, cripple the Necros walker and board it to rescue any survivors. To the west, David heard the sounds of the footfalls of the massive Necros Walkers. He looked into the valley below him to see the Necros Super Walker, as well as a pair Gravedigger Ultra Heavy Assault Platforms, formidable Necros equivalents to the Scarab, as well as four Stalker Assault Walkers and dozens of Necros tanks and APCs. David locked his first missile on to one of the Necros Gravediggers and said into his radio, "Half of my unit, fire on the Despot, desheild it and disable it's legs and gun systems, but do not destroy it, the rest of you, help me take out the other walkers. Fire NOW!!!", David said. David's neural interface fired all eight of the Brown Bear's missiles with a single thought. Several of David's missiles slammed into one of the Gravediggers and completely annihilated the rear of the walker as other anti-walker missiles destroyed the second Gravedigger walker and four remaining stalkers, and crippled the Despot. A wide variety of UNSC tanks opened up on the Necros Compound and Eviscerator Tanks and Fury APCs. The cannons of Scorpions, Foxes, Coyotes, and Tigers, the missiles of Cobras, the Gauss guns of Monitors and the lasers of Komodos opened at the at the Necros armor, setting tanks ablaze left and right. Before long, all the Necros forces were eradicated by the UNSC ambush. It was then that David got the radio message ordering him to come down from the mesa and join the entry team. As a Revenant, a failed attempt by the Necros to turn him into an Aggressor, David had an invaluable knowledge of Necros technology, not to mention the increased strength of his Necros-made cybernetic limbs. Still, even with all his strength, David was apprehensive about return to a facility similar to the one in which he had all four of his limbs replaced with machine parts, where he was almost transformed into a mindless killing machine.

Upon reaching the crippled walker, he was met by about a dozen IBSTs, who piled out of Camel, Kangaroo, and Groundhog APCs. The IBSTs all carried shotguns and submachine guns and wore grav-packs on their back. David himself carried an M12 Submachine Gun and had a grav-pack of his own. "IBSTs, join on me", David said "I know your used to working in ships, but HIGHCOM thinks your the best men for the job. We're to get into the walker through that entrance up there, free any prisoners, and get out." "And now", David said "We march into hell!". David turned off the safety of his SMG and used his grav-pack jump up to the large door in the walker that had been blown open by the UNSC tanks. The large open hatch in the walker seemed to be a loading dock of sorts. "Raveners, left side", David's AI, Gungnir said, "kill them all". David fired his SMG at a pair of unalert Raveners, busy regurgitating the ground up flesh of their victims for production into proteins for synthetic muscle. Both of the snake like cyborgs fell to the ground as the IBSTs were launched by grav-pack one-by-one. "Clear!", David yelled, "Stack up on that door, Open and clear. David ran in and saw several Necros Aggressor forms loading unconcious victims onto a conveyer belt. David knew only too well where it lead. The Aggresors dropped their victims and took aim at David and the IBSTs with arm mounted pulse carbines or charged them with wrist blades or titanium fists that hid artificial gravity generators. David fired his M12 at a pair of Aggressors as they raised their arm mounted pulse carbines. The micro-rifle rounds from David's SMG sliced through the Necros' bodies, a horrific combination of reanimated flesh, titanium machinery and artificial muscle. The two Aggressors fell to the floor, as did several others, perforated by SMG rounds and buckshot from the IBST's weapons. The last Aggressor, however, got close enough to use it's wrist blade. The slice of the blade missed David, but sliced his M12 SMG in two. The Necros took a second slice at David, but he grabbed the Necros' arm below the blade in his right hand and punched the Necros hard in the face with his left. The artificial gravity generator in David's robotic arm activated as he slammed his titanium fist into the Necros Aggressor with such force that it shattered the Necros' skull. The Necros' head exploded under the force. The headless Necros Aggressor dropped to the floor as David said "You three", he pointed to three ISBTs, "get those unconcious survivors out of here, the rest of you, stay with me". "But you don't have anything but your sidearm, that Aggressor destroyed your SMG", an IBST said. "You", David responded "seem to have forgotten that I am a Revenant." David pointed the retracted his robotic right hand to reveal a Necros pulse carbine as he spoke. David used his gravity-fist to knock down the door to the processing facility and entered, firing the pulse carbine in his right arm. The SMGs and shotguns of the IBST took out several Necros Aggressors next to the conversion facility's main conveyor belt. Plasma blasts from David's pulse carbine melted holes through a pair of Necros Warriors on catwalks above the conversion line, as well as several pieces of conversion machinery, rendering the conversion line useless, saving many prisoners of the Necros from transformation into mindless killing machines. A Necros Sergeant and several Warriors fired pulse rifles from the conveyor control room overlooking the main "killing floor". David dove out of the way of the enemy fire, and took cover behind a piece of destroyed conversion machinery. David drew his M6L pistol as fired a 12.7mm HE magnum slug at one of the Necros Warrior's heads. The round exploded inside the alien machine and took out it's AI core, destroying it instantly. David fired his second shot at the Necros Sergeant when suddenly, the whole control room exploded. David looked around, puzzled. He looked behind him to find the cause of the explosion, one of the prisoners he had rescued, a hispanic-looking female in a UNSC uniform. She still had the legs she was born with, though the Necros had replaced her arms with mechanical arms. She the Necros had also attached a pair of anti-gravity "wings" to her back. The female Revenant was holding Necros grenade launcher she had found off one of the dead Aggressors on the floor. "Sgt Maria Angeles", the revenant said to David, "ODST". "Nice meeting you", David said, "but now is not the time for formalities, we've still got to blow up this walker and get out of here." "Half the squad, escort the prisoners out of the walker. The rest of you are coming with me, David said, as he seized a Necros Shatterer Gravity Gun from a dead Necros Warrior. David blasted down the door into the hallway with the Shatterer and opened fire on a couple of surprised Warrior forms and shot them with the Shatterer at a range of about ten feet. The Necros infantry's artificial muscle and mechanical limbs flew throughout the corridor as their titanium bodies were crushed by the blast of artificial gravity. David looked at the Necros writing on the wall. David look at the text and said to the IBST: "This Necros writing on the wall says the core is this way, follow me. David lead the IBSTs to another door. Now that there were no more Necros prisoners to rescue, David ordered one of the squad to toss a fragmentation grenade into this door after he knocked it down with the Shatterer. The grenade landed in the middle of a large room that turned out to be the walker's control room. The grenade landed next to a Necros computer terminal. The explosion destroyed the terminal and several Necros Warriors and Aggressors operating the machine. The Necros Captain in command of the walker, however, was well shielded and survived the blast. David held the Shatterer in his left hand and fired the pulse carbine built into his right. The recoil control system in David's mechanical arms made it possible for him to dual wield even large weapons like the Shatterer. The gravity blasts and plasma bolts David fired at the alien machine, along with the hail of lead from the IBSTs submachine guns and shotguns quickly pierced the remainder of the Necros Captain's energy shielding. The Necros commander's body fell to the floor in a heap of mangled artificial muscle and twisted metal.

Dadak Yayip Excerpt
Battle of H'ck, Necros War

Dadak Yayip stood at the command of his Scarab, one of only five in the Unngoy Defense Force, all of them Covenant Remnant Relics, and one of only two of them on H'ck, the others were on Balaho. Along with the Scarab, Dadak personally lead a force of two hundred thousand Unggoy infantry, 250 Ghost and Spectres, 100 Wraiths, 5 Locusts and about 5 Poltergeists and five Revenants. To the right and left of his forces, five hundred thousand Sangheilli, thousands of Sangheilli tanks and dozens of walkers also rolled out meet the Necros. Above hundreds of fighters dueled with Necros aircraft, most of them USR aircraft, though among them, there were a few members of the small UDF Air Force in Banshee and Seraphs. In front of them stood at least a million Necros infanty, ten thousand Necros Tanks, Compounds, Eviscerators, and Eradicators, as well as dozens of a Gravedigger UHAPs, and a pair of Tyrant Assault Super Walkers. Plasma shells from Necros Torrent artillery fell onto the advancing USR-UDF forces, shattering tanks and mangling infantry. "Press on!", Dadak yelled into the radio of his Scarab, "We are not the cannon fodder we once were! We will cower no more!" The USR Wraiths and Gremlins opened up on the Necros. "All Wraiths open fire!" The Unngoy Defense Force's hundred or so Wraiths added weight of their plasma mortars to the bombardment. Balls of blue fire landed in the midst of both sides, incinerating all they engulf. The Necros Forces grew closer, undetered by the plasma barrage. "They're in range", Dadak yelled "Open Fire!!" The gunner of Yayip's Scarab squeezed the trigger that fired the main plasma stream gun. The beam swept across the Necros tanks, sending them up in balls of fire. USR and UDF tanks and infantry traded fire with the Necros forces, vehicles on both sides went up in flames. A Necros Eradcator Heavy tank was knocked out by the main gun of a UDF Revenant AVP as the particle beams and plasma mortars of UDF and USR Poltergeist and Wraiths knocked out multiple hostile vehicles. A UDF Poltergeist took out two Eviscerators before being struck down by a Necros Vindicator Missile. Several more Vindicators flew at a UDF Locust and destroyed the Walker. Dadak looked to see where the missiles had come from. "Gravedigger, right side, take it out!" The gunner of the scarab again opened up with the main gun. The plasma stream cannon charged up before finally unleashing a beam of plasma. The armor of the Gravedigger held up for a few seconds before the plasma beam melted through the alien walker's armor. The Gravediggers' core and remaining missile supply detonated in a brilliant flash of fire as cheers were heard throughout the Scarab. The UDF were so far, proving that, at least in tanks, Grunts could be dangerous. Another Gravedigger and countless Necros tanks and light walkers fell before the UDF forces. Suddenly, the radio crackled to life. "Tell the Unggoy to take heed", a Sangheilian voice said through the radio, "One of the Necros Tyrants is making a run at their forces". "Stand firm!", Dadak said, "We will prevail!". A pair of Sangheilli A-70 Nephilim Attack aircraft dropped plasma charges and fired fuel rod at the Tyrant, dropping it's shields as it took aim at the other Scarab under the control of the UDF. The Necros Super Walker fired it's main gun, a lighter version of the Armageddon Cannon carried on Necros Warships. The target Scarab was instantly vaporized. "All units!" Dadak yelled "Open Fire! AVENGE OUR BROTHERS!" The gunner of Dakak's Scarab fired it's main gun yet again. The Scarab's plasma stream struck the Armageddon cannon of the Tyrant as a as a plasma streams from Locusts and Revenants, particle beams from Poltergeist, and Plasma mortars from Wraiths all pounded the Necros Walker. The enemy walker fell to the ground as on of it's legs was blown off by a UDF Revenant's plasma beam. The Tyrant's Dirge cannons, Decimator, and Rotary Pulse Guns kept firing even as the the walker lay on it's side, cutting down UDF infantry and knocking out tank. As a Necros Dirge cannon's plasma lance was stopped by the Scarab's heavy armor, Dadak gave the order to finish off the Tyrant. The gunner of Dadak Yiyip's Scarab fired the main plasma cannon. The Tyrant ASW was struck by the beam and exploded, launching flaming chunks of metal across the battlefield. The second Tyrant was overwhelmed by USR air power, pounded with plasma charges by Nephilim and Angel bombers. "Grand Marshall Yayip", the Grunt operating the anti-air plasma cannons of the Scarab said, "I am engaging multiple Necros Azreals" The air defense plasma cannons blazed. Several Necros Azraels were vaporized by plasma guns, but before long, several of the alien airborne soldier had landed on top of the Scarab. They quickly killed those Unngoy that were on top of the deck with their pulse rifles and energy blades. "All right, Unggoy, It's time we met the Necros face to face!" Dadak said as he pulled a plasma rifle from his side. This was no ordinary plasma rifle, this one was Annihilation, the only Guardian Weapon given to the Unngoy, and the only ranged Guardian weapon. Annihilation was a replica of the weapon said to have been wielded by Gabgab Yayip, Dadak's ancestor, and the Unggoy who came so close to freeing the Unngoy from the Covenant during the Grunt Rebellion. The rifle itself was said to have had the power of a Scarab's main gun. While the replica Dadak held was nowhere near as powerful as a Scarab's main gun, it could still crack open the armor of a Necros tank. Dadak and a squad of fifteen Unggoy walked up the ramp out onto the deck of the Scarab. Standing on the opposite side of the deck was a Necros Azreal, leading about 15 others. which attempted to charge at him with it's energy blade. Dadak pointed Annihilation at the Necros soldier and fired. A lance of plasma flew from Annihilation and struck the Necros, causing it to explode violently. The beam of plasma continued, burning a second Necros soldier in half. The other Grunts in the squad opened fire with plasma rifles, Needlers, and in the case of two of them, A Needler Shotgun and a Plasma Flamethrower. The Unngoy with a Needler Shotgun fired off two shots at the Necros forces, sticking several crystalline spikes into a pair of Necros Azreals that were wrent apart as the needles exploded. Unngoy and Necros alike fell around Dadak, as plasma flew back and forth. A group of three Unggoy were blown apart by a pulse grenade. An Unngoy retaliated, sticking a plasma grenade to a Necros Azreal, reducing it and another beside it to twisted, half-molten metal. Dadak himself has incinerated several Necros with Annihilation as several more were burned by a stream of blue flames from an Unngoy with a plasma flamethrower. A hail of Rotary pulse cannon fire hit the Unngoy with the plasma thrower seconds later, sending him to a fiery fate as his plasma tanks exploded. Dadak looked to his right to see a Necros Compound Tank below the walker firing up at the deck with it's secondary armament. Dadak took aim with Annihilation, and sent a plasma beam it's way. The tank exploded as the beam from Annihilation struck it's plasma core. There were only five Necros Azraels left on the Scarab deck, pinned down by a Grunt who had grabbed one of the now dismounted Type 52 light plasma cannons and was using it like an LMG, firing from the hip. Dadak fired Annihilation and shattered four of the Necros soldiers. The final Necros soldier looked to the right just in time to see Dadak fire another shot from Annihilation, literally vaporizing the Azrael's entire head. As the UDF Scarab repelled it's boarders, the USR-UDF forces had gained the upper hand. Dadak and the rest of the crew went back into the Scarab's cockpit and drove the massive war machine forward, main cannon blazing, cutting down great swathes of Necros forces. They had won......but the war was far from over, and Dadak was yet to the true horror that was the Necros.

Ross East Jr., Space Battle (Above the Assembly?)
"It's all coming down to this", Ross thought as he looked towards the Necros fleet, lead by two Jehovah-class Super Dreadnoughts silloetted against the Assembly, the last remaining Necros stronghold. Ross heard the lock tone to fill his I-660 Spear's cockpit. "All right", Ross said through his radio, "Skyler, Robiechaud, and I will attack the first Jehovah, Merton, Baron, Ditto, and Archer will target the second". Ross turned his aircraft towards the first of the two dreadnoughts, with Brittni Skyler and Jean Robiechaud following a short ways behind. All three pilots fired their ordnance, a single ARMAGEDDON antimatter missile at the Jehovah-class. Seconds later, the two dreadnoughts exploded in massive flash of flame, which dissapated to reveal a field of glowing debris. Ross' radio crackled to life. "This is the UNSC Prowler Silent Assassin, Two Jehovah-class Super Dreadnaughts confimed killed. Congratulations, 3rd Squadron.", the Prowler's crew said. "Wait!", the voice on the radio said, "I see five Jehovah-class Super Dreadnoughts and what looks like..... HOLY SHIT  over 100 other Necros ships incoming, thousands of fighters. Quick, lay the nuclear mines and fire up the slipspace drive!" "Third Squadron", Ross said over the radio, "Get to the UNSC Warrior double time, we need our Claymores to repel this assault."

Thirty minutes later, Ross and the rest of the Third Squadron flew out of the hanger of the UNSC Warrior, having exchanged their I-660 Spear Interdictors for the other aircraft used by the squadron, F/I-905 Claymore Heavy Fighters. "I have the first elements of the enemy squadron on radar", Ross said, "Fire your HORN missiles once you get a good lock". As Ross heard the lock tone fill his cockpit, he squeezed the trigger. Eight AIM-34 HORN missiles from his aircraft joined countless others that flew out of sight. On the radar, Ross saw the HORN missiles of his and countless other's squadrons hit the radar blips that were the first wave of Necros fighters. But the Necros firces were far from finished, mere minutes later, a pair of Necros Shrieker interceptors blazed past his aircraft, on a course straight for several UNSC I-550 Broadsword Interdictors. Ross sped up after them. Ross locked on and fired a pair of AIM-11 CLAW missiles, scoring direct hits on both targets, leaving a small field of debris where the enemy interceptors once were. But the two Necros Interceptors were quickly replaced hundreds more hostile fighters, both Shriekers and the larger Adversary Fighters, flying in a massive formation that looked like a swarm of locusts. Several UNSC fighters, Claymores, Katanas, and Knives, fell to Necros laser and missile fire, though none from Ross' sqaudron. "All right ladies and gentlemen, lock on and launch a few missiles into that fighter constellation", Ross said as he squeeze the trigger. Eight missile flew off of Ross' Claymore, sending eight of the hostile aircraft up in short-lived fireballs, before they dissapated, the flames deprived of oxygen in the vacuum of space. The rest of Ross' squadron and several other UNSC squadrons made short work of the Necros fighters, blowing them to pieces with their independently targetable AIM-11 CLAW missiles. That, however, was but the first wave of the Necros forces. A pair Cerberus-class Gunboats flew into a formation of Katana fighters, lasers and missiles struck down dozens of the UNSC fighters that had swept through the first wave so easily. A UNSC Terminus-class Gunboat fired a pair of Archer missiles at the opposing Necros Gunboat. The Gunboat shot down both missiles and replied with a Disruptor Cannon shot to the bow of the Terminus. The other Necros Gunboat joined in with the assault on it's UNSC counterpart. Ross seized the opportunity to get behind the Necros Gunboats as and fire three AIM-11 CLAW missiles into one of the Necros gunboat's engines and a single TALON anti-ship missile into the other. Both gunboats exploded as more Necros spacecraft approached, both fighters and capital ships.

A squadron of Necros Intimidators approached a Convoy of UNSC troop transports, but were stuck down by the Firestorm lasers, M45 Flak Guns and Firestorm missiles of the four escorting Raijin-class Destroyers, the UNSC Shilka, UNSC Flakvierling, UNSC Deathstalker, and UNSC Bofors. A Jormungandr-class Battle Cruiser and dozens of Legion class frigates headed towards the Odin-class Carrier Advent Children, the first UNSC vessel to do battle with a Necros vessel. Seconds after Ross caught sight of the Necros crusier, a Three heavy MAC slugs, a basic MAC slug, Several Archer missiles and a dozen plasma torpedoes and a Super MAC slug flew from various ships in the AUR fleet towards the enemy cruiser. Missiles, MAC slugs, lasers, and plasma flew in both directions as ships from both sides exploded in the blur of fire and death. Ross caught sight of a Squadron of Necros Intimidator bombers and Adversary fighters, headed straight for a pair of Freya-class Support Carriers. "We can't let them take out our fuel supply, engage enemy aircraft, and try to save you missiles for fighters.", Ross said" We'll attack the Necros squadron in two groups, I'll take Skyler, Archer, and Baron right, Everyone else go left with Robiechaud, try and split the Necros into two groups." Ross turned sharply towards one of the Necros Adversary fighters and destroyed it with a missile. The Necros fighters broke form the Intimidators, flying in two groups, one of them at Ross' group and another at Jean's. "Outnumbered ten to one", Ross said, "I like the odds" Ross locked onto another enemy fighter, another kill. Baron and Skyler had also also brought down three Necros between them. Ross and the others each picked of several more fighers, like flying missile snipers. But after they had lost a few of their number to Ross' missiles, the Adversary Fighters, now down to six, released countermeasures, the last of Ross' missiles missed. He was down to his guns now. The Necros fighters then fired their missiles. Red lights blazed in Ross' cockpit as an alarm screamed. Ross pushed a button on the side of his stick. DECEPTION countermeasures flew from the rear of Ross' Claymore. The Vindicator missiles flew off, away from Ross and his squadronmates. Ross pulled the throttle to the max. His Claymore flew towards the Necros Fighters, the distant stars became streaks in the cockpit window as pulse cannon shots flew past. Ross squeezed the trigger, his Claymore's 50mm rotary cannons blazed. one of the Necros Fighters stopped flying and drifted off into space, perforated by 50mm shells. Ross pulled the stick upwards as the AI controlled 20mm autocannon perforated a Necros fighter behind him. Ross strained against the G-forces as he performed a looping manuver called an Immelman Turn. Looking down, Ross saw a pair of Necros Fighters, ripe for the kill. Ross dove down and perforated both Necros fighters with his fighter's rotary cannons. Suddenly, Ross' radio crackled to life, "Help me" Brittni Skyler's voices said in a panicked tone, "Bandits on my six". Ross looked off his 3:00. He saw two Necros Adversary fighters chasing a single Claymore fighter. Ross made a sharp turn to get his aircraft into line with the Necros fighter. The first enemy aircraft filled Ross' gunsight. He squeezed the trigger. In a split second, over 200 rounds filled the Necros fighter. Ross barrel rolled to avoid the debris field of the downed Necros Fighter and blazed away at the second, blowing it's wing off in a hail of 50mm shells.

"Colonel East, the second wave of the enemy fighters are down, and the navy boys handled the interdictors", Jean Robiechaud said through Ross' radio, "But we've got dozens of Necros capital ships incoming. Jean was right, UNSC, USR, Guardian, Enclave, and the few Machina, Jiralhanae, Vorenus, Kig-Yar, Yanme'e, and Plainsfier vessels in the battle group opened fire. MAC slugs, missiles, plasma lances, and energy projectors, flew towards the Necros fleet. Several UNSC antimatter missiles were the first to strike, a Jehovah-class super dreadnaught, Behemoth-class dreadnaught, several carriers and several smaller ships were annihilated instantly. The Super MAC of the UNSC Warrior shattered a Fenrir-class Light Cruiser, as it's four secondary MACs claimed a pair of Necros Frigates. The UNSC Our Own Wars, an experimental modification of a Ragnarok-class dreadnaught armed with a THOR laser fired it's main armament. The beam vaporized a pair of Hydra-class destroyers on the way to it's main target, an Abbadon-class Battleship. The Abbadon-class exploded violently as the beam melted through it's hull to it's central core. A Guardian Mantle-class Super Dreadnaught, a vessel similar to the Forerunner vessel used by the Covenant Prophet of Truth in the Human-Covenant War fired it's main gun, a laser similar to a giant Sentinel Beam at one of the Necros super dreadnaughts. The shot deshielded the vessel. The Necros ship fired it's main Super Heavy Armageddon Cannon at the Guardian Vessel. The blow glanced off the Guardian ship, which returned fire with a barrage of missiles that struck the Jehovah-class. The Necros Super Dreadnaught was wrent apart by the series of explosions running down it's structure. A barrage of nuclear missiles from the UNSC fleet and several squadrons od Broadsword Interdictors destroyed several of ships in a Necros supercarrier battlegroup and de-shielded many others with their EMP blast. MAC slugs, Plasma lances, pulse lasers, and Archer missiles tore at the hulls of the now shieldless surviving vessels, four Necros frigates and a destroyer, a Jormungandr-class battlecruiser and the Leviathan-class supercarrier it's self. Ross watched as the last of the Necros carrier group was destroyed. It was then that an oppurtunity to strike arose with his remaining missile arose. The UNSC frigate

A Sudden Interruption
On top of a high peak of mountain in the mountainous core of one of Linna's three continents, Ross East Sr., the retired hero of the Human-Covenant War lay on the ground next to his wife of fifty years, Lindsey, next to their wilderness. Both of them were over eighty years old at the time, but neither showed it, thanks to that fact that they had both spent a significant portion of their military careers in cryostasis, and still were regualarly frozen, as Ross and his wife went on various trips to other planets throughout their lifetime, because of this, Ross and Lindsey were physically only in their late thirties. Ross and Lindsey both looked up into the starry night sky sky above them. "It's beautiful", Lindsey said, "So vast, makes you realize how small you really are in the universe". "I know" Ross said "But as small as you are in the cosmos, you are the brightest light in my life." Lindsey took Ross in her arms and kissed him. Suddenly, the screaming of spacecraft engine disrupted the romantic moment. "What is the UNSC Air Force doing here?", Ross asked "There's no air base anywhere near here!" A pair of black wings displaying a blood red insignia niether Ross nor Lindsey had ever seen before. That was no UNSC aircraft. The aircraft quickly disappeared into blackness before it reappeared over a large fire that had recently started, right where a town was in the next valley. Thousands of objects fell towards the town. One of the objects, however, went of course and landed within feet of Ross and Lindsey. Upon closer inspection, the object appeared to be a drop pod, "Like the one I used when i was an ODST", Lindsey commented. The door to the pod opened, a humanoid amalgamation of machine and living tissue walked out of the pod, some sort of alien rifle raised at Ross. Before the cyborg could react, however, Lindsey plunged her survival knife into the slit in the cyborgs head. The alien machine's controlling AI was destroyed as it's synthesized muscles went limp and it feel the the ground. Lindsey seized the alien's rifle and picked up an alien pistol and four alien grenades, as well as a pair of flashlights from their camping supplies. Lindsey handed Ross the pistol, a flash light, and two grenades. Lindsey took a roll of duct tape and attached her flashlight to the alien rifle she had captured. "We need to get out of here", Ross said, "If we keep following the trail ahead, we should be able to reach the town of Mountain View by dawn, it'll be quicker than going back". Ross and Lindsey walked down the path on the side of the mountain, flashlight and weapons held in front of them. Suddenly, the sound of chainsaws pierced the silent night. "This is a Wildlife Preserve", Ross said, "What the hell are they logging in here for?" "Ross", Lindsey said, "Who in there right mind would still be cutting lumber after alien fighters and drop pods showed up and started shooting shit up? It must be....something else...." As though to punctuated Lindsey's sentence, several snake-like cyborgs crossed the beam of Ross and Lindsey's flashlights. These snake-like beings had two arms attached, each one ending in what looked like a chainsaw and two circular saws where there mouths should have been. Ross fired several shots from the alien pistol. The gun fired a bolt of plasma that seemed to explode inside the target like and M6 pistol slug, The first chainsaw snake was struck in the the head and fell to the ground instantly. Lindsey and Ross opened fire on the rest of the chainsaw snakes. One by one the alien cyborgs fell to the hail of plasma, very quickly, they were all dead. "Why do these aliens deploy such useless soldiers, I mean, chainsaw-snake thingys, is that the best they can do?" Lindsey asked. "I doubt we've seen anything close to their deadliest weapons", Ross said, "Those things are for inspiring fear....can you imagine the terror that snakes with chainsaw blades hacking apart unarmed civilians could cause? I think that fighter and that humanoid we saw earlier were the more like enemy's main combat forces"

Journey into Hell
Several hours passed, Ross and Lindsey met no more of the mysterious alien enemy, though their aircraft flew overhead constantly. "There's the end of the trail", Lindsey said. She was right, they walked out into the dilapidated town of Mountain View. The town was once a bustling ski resort, now, buildings were reduced to rubble and ashes, bodies stood in the streets. Suddenly, a rocket flew over Ross' head, missing him narrowly. Lindsey turned to the side to see another humanoid alien cyborg with some sort of rocket launcher leading three others with standard plasma rifles. Lindsey pulled Ross behind a large chunk of concrete as a hail of plasma screamed their way. Lindsey took one of the alien grenades she had found that night and pressed what she hoped was the arming switch. Lindsey threw the grenade at the squad of alien cyborgs. The grenade detonated in a flash of blue flames, like a Covenant plasma grenade, but more power, the ground shook as the grenade detonated. The hail of plasma stopped, leaving the devastated street silent and deserted except for Ross and Lindsey. Ross walked over to the broken, shattered remnants of the alien hostiles, now a twisted mass of metal and synthetically grown tissue. A tar-like substance flowed from the organic parts of the aliens, "Blood, alien blood", Ross realized suddenly. Ross look at some of the alien weapons. Ross picked up an alien missile launcher lying beside a "dead" cyborg, it looked to be in working order. Suddenly, the building down the road from Ross and Lindsey was pushed over, a spiked roller emerged from the rubble, followed by a tank with a quad-barreled cannon. Ross looked down the sights of the missile launcher. The weapon emitted a loud beeping sound. "I hope that's a lock tone", Ross said. As the tank inched closer, the vehicle opened fire with it's four main guns. Each of the shots went high, blowing a storefront some 100 yards down the road behind Ross and Lindsey. Ross squeezed the trigger of the alien weapon. An anti-tank missile flew at the enemy tank, blasting through it's armor and detonating it's plasma core. The turret was blown into the air in massive fireball. Ross tossed the alien rocket launcher aside as the ball of flames that engulfed the tank fizzled out, revealing the burning wreck of the tank. Seven alien fighters flew overhead, Ross followed the enemy aircraft as they flew towards a squadron of UNSC Pelicans escorted by five F-778 Knife fighters. Four of the Knives fell from the sky in trails of fire, hit by some sort of missile fired by the alien fighters. The final Knife broke off from the squadron, pulling a manuver impossible in most aircraft, only possible in the Knife because of the anti-gravity field surrounding the pilot. The F-778 fired a pair of AIM-11 CLAW missiles, one of the missiles was downed by an alien point defense system, but the second hit home, sending an alien fighter down in flames. The F-778, unfortunately, was overcome by the rest of the alien squadron. The alien fighters shot down the Pelicans one by one with missiles and laser and plasma cannons. A pelican that had been hit by laser and plasma fire from the alien fighters, fell from the sky, flying straight at Ross and Lindsey. The Pelican hit the ground and on the ground, stopping just short of the pile of rubble Lindsey and Ross hid behind. Ross took a look at the open rear door of the Pelican. Suddenly, Ross heard the sound of several explosions above him. Ross looked up, all six alien fighters had been shot down by missiles seemed to have come from nowhere.Suddenly, a several alien missiles flew from the ground mere block from where Ross and Lindsey stood. The SAMs hit an active camoed UNSC spacecraft, a War Scythe stealth fighter, revealed by it's missile fire. Ross entered the rear door of the downed Pelican, there were no survivors. Suddenly, the radio crackled to life, "This is Reaper 2, Echo 458, respond, are there any survivors?". Ross picked up the radio "No survivors of the crash, only an ex-pilot and a former ODST, this is retired Brigadier General Ross East, I was taking cover here when this Pelican crashed." "Ross East? The Ross East, the hero of the Human-Covenant War?", The pilot asked. "The very same", Ross responded, "I have another survivor here, my wife, Lindsey". "Lindsey.." the pilot said "You married Lindsey Williamson, that crazy ODST that got into an energy sword fight with an elite, didn't you". "Yeah", Ross said, "Can you cover our escape for this town, take out any hostiles in our way?". "Afraid not", the pilot said, "Can't reveal myself again until somebody deals with those SAMs, you saw what happened to my squadronmate. You'll have to wait for our ground reinforcements or, you could take them out yourselves, I believe there is an M-41 missile launcher and an SRS 40 AMR in there." "Lindsey", Ross asked, "what do you think, you have more ground combat experience then I do". "Lets do this!", Lindsey said as she loaded a 64mm shell into a massive SRS-40 Anti-armor rifle. Ross grabbed an M-41 rocket launcher and some rockets and SABRE AT missiles. "Good thing this M41 was here", Ross thought, "I don't know it I could have figured out how to reload that alien rocket launcher." Ross also grabbed an MA6A Assault Rifle with an M026 Grenade Launcher and Lindsey took an M81C Ultra Light Machine Gun, as well as a portable radio to contact the second War Scythe pilot. Ross and Lindsey used the wings of the downed Pelican as a ramp to get to the top of a building. From the roof, Ross and Lindsey could see two SAM vehicles of clearly alien origin" We've got a clean shot from here", Lindsey said. Ross folded out the LCD screen on the side of his rocket launcher and took aim at one of the hostile AA tanks. Ross saw a red circle appear around the tank inside the LCD screen. Ross squeezed the trigger and fired a SABRE ATGW at the enemy tank. It exploded in a massive ball of flames as Lindsey destroyed the second tank. An alien tank rolled towards the destroyed AA tanks. The alien tank took dead aim at the building that Ross and Lindsey stood on top of. Ross fired his second SABRE ATGW and sent the tank to join the two SAM vehicles in their fiery fate. Three more alien tanks approach, two of the main battle tanks like the one Ross had destroyed and one that appeared to be a heavy tank rolled towards the two survivors. All three of the tanks took aim with their plasma lance cannons. Ross had no ammunition left in his his missile launcher, so the threw the weapon aside and picked up the portable radio. Lindsey fired her last two shots with the SRS-40, taking out two of the tanks, but the heavy alien tank remained. "This is Ross East, we are under attack by a hostile heavy tank and need immediate assistance", Ross said into the radio. Suddenly, out of the sky, an AGM-64 BARB missile flew, slamming into the top of the alien tank. The vehicle exploded in a ball of flames, clearing a path for Ross and Lindsey to continue. "Thanks for the assist, Reaper 2", Ross said into the radio before he picked up his missile launcher and loaded it with a pair of MANDIBLE laser guided missiles.

Second Battle of Linna
Ross flew the I-660 Spear out of the atmosphere of Linna, entering the vaccuum of space, but he was not alone, a dozen alien vessels, centered around what was probably a carrier, Ross could not be sure, the IFF on his HUD simply as "Unknown Vessel" in red text. "Ross", Lindsey said from the back seat of the I-660, pointing at a slipspace rupture to the right of their spacecraft. A dozen UNSC vessels exited the rupture. The IFF labeled the lead vessel as the Odin-class Carrier UNSC Advent Children, followed by the Ares-class Battlecruiser UNSC Dirge of Cerberus and the Thor-class Cruiser UNSC Barret. The carrier and cruisers were escorted by the Baal-class Destroyers UNSC Crisis Core, UNSC Before Crisis, UNSC Shinra, and UNSC Final Heaven, as well as the Heimdall-class Frigates UNSC Strife, UNSC Sefirosu, UNSC Nanaki, UNSC Last Order, and UNSC Aeris. The radio crackled to life, "This is the carrier UNSC Advent Children, unknown spacecraft, please identify yourself. "Retired Brigadier General Ross East and Retired ODST Sergeant Lindsey Williamson, Ross said. "Ross East?", The radioman on the Advent Children said, "What are you doing here?". "I was on vacation", Ross said, "Until the unknown hostiles showed up." Suddenly, the radio changed frequencies, "I AM WAR, PAIN, DEATH, AND DOOM", an unknown voice said, "I WILL SOW YOUR FIELDS WITH SALT, LEAVE NO STONE ON TOP OF THE OTHER." Five of the unknown hostile vessels turned towards the lead frigate of the battlegroup, the UNSC Aeris. A voice said over the radio, "Five unknown hostiles ma'am, on a intercept course with our lead frigate". A female voice responded, "Change course, bring our MACs to bear, charge capacitors, bring up Archer locks." The Aeris and the other two lead frigates manuvered to engage the unknown hostile frigates as the larger warships, the Barret and Dirge of Cerberus moved in to protect the Advent Children as it launched fighters and interdictors. The alien vessels turned broadsides to the UNSC fleet, as the radio sent another message from the Advent Children, "They just turned to broadside, energy cascades across their decks, brace for impact!" The alien carrier launched it's spacecraft. A pair of alien fighters turned towards Ross's interdictor and fired a missile each, Ross pressed a button on the side of his aircraft's joystick, releasing DECEPTION countermeasures as he rolled away from the missile. Both alien missiles failed to hit their mark, but the enemy fighters were now closer. Ross fired his cannons as his aircraft blazed past the enemy. Ross' cannon shells perforated the alien spacecraft. "Looks like you've still got", Lindsey said as Ross performed a Split-S manuver, turning 180 degrees so he was now on the tail of the enemy fighter. The alien spacecraft was trying to fly toward the safety of one of the alien frigates. As a MAC round slammed into side of the frigate, downing it's shields. Ross shot down the alien fighter as the alien frigate was struck by multiple Archer missiles and crippled. Ross then turned to his next target of oppurtunity. Ross's aircraft was an I-660 Spear Interdictor, armed with several TALON anti-ship missiles, the perfect weapon to finish off the crippled frigate

Ross East at Gundark
Ross East returned to the his hotel room in (city pending), on the UNSC planet Gundark. Ross, formerly an aviation engineer and later a fighter pilot flying an F/A 712 Scimitar against the Covenant, Ross was now a five star General, commander of the UNSC Air Force, had been in and out of meetings on the defense of Gundark from the rapidly encroaching Necros threat all day. Ross walked into the presidential suite of the hotel. "Yes, rank did have it's priviliges", Ross thought as he walked through the door, into the spacious interior of the suite. "Lindsey?", Ross asked, "You there?" Lindsey was his Ross' wife, an ex-ODST and, like Ross, a veteran of the Human-Covenant War. "Yeah", Lindsey said, in the bedroom". Chronologically, Ross and Lindsey were both almost eighty, however, because both of them had spent literally years in cryostasis during long space flights, they looked closer to their mid thirties. Ross entered the seperate bedroom of the suite. Lindsey sat on the double bed. She stood up and kissed Ross on the lips. "How was your day, Ross?", Lindsey asked. "My day", Ross said, "Well, Lindsey", Ross whispered, "Technically, I'm not supposed to tell you this.... might cause public panic..... but Necros forces were seen massing on the outer rim of their territory earlier this week, and now, their approaching fast, approaching....." "Here! they're coming here!" Lindsey asked, sounding alarmed. "I'm afraid so", Ross said. "Oh my God", Lindsey said, emotion in her voice Ross heard there before, fear. However, Ross thought, if anything could strike terror into the heart of an ex-ODST, it would be the Necros. As Lindsey said those word, she clung to her husband. "Lindsey", Ross said as he put his arm around her, "I'm scared too, but we should be able to get evacuated before that happens, we can leave the day after tomorrow if you want, and even if we are stuck here, we've got reinforcements: thousands of Marines, SPARTANs, ODSTs, tanks, fighters, ships, and both Ross Jr. and Sarah." "I guess we have to depend on our children....", Lindsey said, "But I never expected them to face this, something worse then the Covenant, worse then the Flood even." "Try not to dwell on it too much", Ross said.

A Rude Interruption
"I guess your right, now, what do you say I do something to relieve that stress of yours", Lindsey said with as she winked at him. Within a moment, Lindsey and Ross were both laying the the bed, completely nude, kissing passionately and touching each other in a most intimate....and enjoyable manner... Lindsey got on top of Ross and mounted him, the two of them still kissing passionately as Lindsey moaned in pleasure. All of the sudden....an explosion shook the entire building, shaking Lindsey off of Ross. Ross stood up, his fear at least initially overcome by frustration. "Great, fucking great, the Necros had to show up now!", he said as he and Lindsey quickly got dressed. Ross seized his M6L pistol and said, "Nobody c**kblocks me and gets away with it", as he pulled back the slide and chambered a round.

Hotel Foxtrot
Lindsey and Ross exited the hotel room and ran down the hall. Ross heard movement coming from around the hall and raised his pistol, but it wasn't a Necros soldier, it was two UNSC Marines, one armed with a MA6B assault rifle with an attached M026 Grenade Launcher and the other wielding a M108 Shotgun. "We're supposed to get you and your wife out of here, Sir, the Necros have attacked, but i gather you know that, judging from the pistol in your hands. UNSC forces are retreating from this town and moving to (base pending) in the mount....AAAAAAHHHGGHGH!", the marine with the assault rifle yelled as something pulled at him from behind and began to claw at his flesh, in seconds, the thing had ripped his chests open, tearing out his organs, sending blood everywhere before turning it's attention to the other soldier. The second marine fired at the Necros Vampire with his shotgun, but the Vampire was to quick, grabbing on to his neck and twisting it until it broke. The Necros kept twisting the soldier's neck beyond breaking, ripping his head clean off. Ross took aim at the Vampire and prepared to fire as Lindsey pulled out the old Sangheilli energy sword she kept as a Human-Covenant war trophy. The Necros Vampire lunged at Lindsey, too fast for Ross to track it. Suddenly Ross heard the sound of an amalgamation of flesh and metal coming into contact with plasma. Ross looked to the right and saw the Necros creature impaled on a Lindsey's blade. "Ha!", Lindsey said, "The dumbass jumped right on to my blade". Lindsey de-activated the sword and the dead Necros fell to the ground. "Figures", Ross said "Vamps are strong, fast and deadly, but far from intelligent, they use 'em like attack dogs". Ross picked up the dead UNSC Marines' weapons, taking the MA6B with the grenade launcher for himself and handing Lindsey the M108 auto shotgun to Lindsey. Ross picked up several clips of ammo and a dozen 25mm grenades as Lindsey said "Nice!", as she held up a box of HE-10 explosive shotgun slugs. Ross and Lindsey continued down the hall towards the stairwell, until the roof collapsed about three meters front of them, revealing a Necros Berserker that had fallen in from below. The Necros close combat specialist charged at Ross and Lindsey with it's chain-sword. Ross and Lindsey raised their weapons at the Necros Berserker and opened fire. Buckshot and 7.62mm bullets glanced off it's thick frontal armor as it closed in for the kill. Ross and Lindsey both rolled out of the way as the Berserker swung it's massive blade at them, cutting down the walls of the two rooms on either side. Lindsey ducked behind a piece of debris as she loaded her shotgun with tungsten rifled slugs. She has gotten two into the M108 before the berserker got to her and prepared to take a swing with it's six-foot chain-blade. Lindsey did another roll and dodged the attack as she struck back with her shotgun, firing a slug that hit the Berserker's chain-sword, shattering the motor and stopping the spin of the blades. The Berserker still tried to attack, using the destroyed chain blade as a blunt object, smashing holes into the wall as Lindsey ducked. The Berserker turned it's attention to Ross, bring it's chain sword down on the spot where Ross would have been had he not rolled out of the way the second before the Necros soldier struck the floor with it's weapon. Ross pulled out his M6 pistol and too aim at the Necros soldier's "eyes", hoping that he could penetrate the alien machine's AI core or at least disable it's optics, leaving it blind. But before Ross could pull the trigger, several rifled shotgun slugs shot straight through the armored Necros, shattering it's power source and AI core. Lindsey stood over the downed Necros, shotgun in hand, barrel still smoking as she reloaded the weapon. "Nice one", Ross said, "You've still got it". Ross reload his MA6B, making sure to use armor piercing ammo this time. Ross and Lindsey ran down the hall as glass shattered from the windows as Necros bombs landed uncomfortably close. Ross and Lindsey turned a corner and looked down the stairwell, before walking along the next wall and turning the second corner, finally making it down to the first floor. Ross turned the corner into the hotel lobby and saw a pair of Necros Warriors enter the building. Ross squeezed the trigger on his MA6B as he cut down the two Necros soldiers. Lindsey turned the corner as Ross jumped behind the large fountain in lobby. Necros pulse rifle rounds slammed into the fountain, sending chunks of marble flying and causing water to spray everywhere. Lindsey fired her shotgun on full auto and sent a hail of flechettes into a group of Necros Warriors and Aggressors. As the last Aggressor fell to the floor, a Necros Demolisher smashed through the door and fired it's Disruptor Laser at the fountain Ross was taking cover behind. Ross rolled out of the way, coming to rest behind an upturned table as the fountain was shattered into thousands of fragments. Water gushed from the remains of the fountain as the Demolisher took a shot at Lindsey, missing her by inches and instead setting fire to the check-in desk. Ross flipped a mode selector switch on his MA6B, connecting the trigger not to the rifle but to the M026 25mm grenade launcher. Ross looked up over the table and took aim at the Necros Demolisher and squeezed the trigger, hoping the Demolisher was far enough away not to catch him or Lindsey in the blast. A 25mm grenade flew from the launcher under the barrel of Ross' rifle and slammed into the Necros Demolisher and exploded. As the grenade detonated, it launched parts of the Necros soldier across the room, though none of them hit Ross or Lindsey. Lindsey picked up the dead Demolisher's laser weapon, now blown from it's hand. "Hmm....This'll be useful", she said, "looks like if I cross these two wires and flip this switch..." The Necros Laser weapon fired a beam that blew another hole in the wall of the hotel lobby.

Urban Decay
Ross and Lindsey exited through the hole in the wall, onto the street in front of the hotel, but it was unrecognizable as the street Ross and Lindsey had stood on when they entered the hotel the day before. The the street was covered in rubble, burning vehicles, bomb craters, and dead bodies. The hotels, skyscrapers, stores and office buildings of the downtown are of (city pending) were all partially or completely destroyed. In front of the hotel stood what remained of a Caracal APC, the Transport that was supposed to get Ross out of the city before the Necros arrived. All too clearly, they had failed. "Ross", Lindsey said, "We have some weapons here.....unfortunately we also have a couple more dead marines." Lindsey picked up a M187 LMG and an M33 Revolver before handing Ross an M899 LAAW and an M8 Ballistic Knife. As Ross attached the knife to his belt, a a Necros coilgun slug smashed a nearby chunk of concrete. "Sniper!", Lindsey said as she pushed Ross behind the remnants of the APC. A second coilgun slug shot straight through the APC, missing Ross by inches as Lindsey removed the shells from her shotgun and replaced one of them with a HE-10. Lindsey looked, narrowly avoiding a third coilgun shot as she located the Necros sniper in a ruined structure. Lindsey fired the HE-10. The round flew through the window and struck the Necros sniper, blowing the alien cyborg to several pieces. "Got the bastard!", Lindsey said as the enemy sniper exploded.

Air Superiority

 * A couple days after Necros Attack, skies over (city pending), Gundark.

Ross pulled the throttle of the F/1-905 Claymore forward as the aircraft rose higher above the UNSCAF base. The Claymore accelerated towards a squadron of Necros fighters on the radar. A lock tone filled the cockpit as Ross pressed the launch button on the top of his aircraft's stick. A dozen AIM-34 HORN missiles flew at a squadron of Necros Adversary fighers. The missiles flew out beyond Ross's line of sight. Half of the smaller radar blips that represented his missiles collided with the radar signatures of the alien aircraft and both radar contacts disappeared from the screen, confirmed kills. "Hold on, Lindsey", Ross said, "The remaining Necros fighters have just launched their own missiles, I'm going evasive". Several smaller radar blips closed in on Ross and the other UNSC aircraft flying alongside him. Ross saw a pair of alien missiles blazing towards. Ross pulled back on the throttle and turned the stick, making his F/I-905 do a sharp turn, known as a J-turn, a manuver that brought the aircraft close to a stall as it turned. Ross gunned the engine before he stalled out. He was now headed in the opposite direction. "Lindsey" Ross asked "Can you get a fix on the missiles with the rear laser." "Got it!", Lindsey said as a computerized voice announced "rear laser target tracking active". Lindsey squeezed the trigger, firing the twin SPARTAN Lasers in the rear of the aircraft at the first missile, then locked onto the second and fired as the computer tracked her target. Ross did Immelman turn, and flew back towards the Necros fighters, he now saw were the escorts for a squadron. Ross flipped a switch and changed his weapon to AIM-11 CLAW missiles. Ross fired his air to air missiles at the a pair of Necros fighters, blowing both of the out of the sky before speeding off into the distance, going into a second Immmelman turn and shooting two more fighters with his missiles. With the two immidiate threats down, Ross returned to to his course towards the UNSC Command Center. As he flew away from the city, Ross caught sight of a large Necros force, a large, black, roughly cross-shaped vessel with many spire-like directed energy guns and communications equipment, a Necros Gorgon-class Assault Ship. As Ross got closer, he was able to make out the vessel's escorts, a ten Necros Adversary Fighters and Several Carrion Gunships the vessel was deploying from hangers in the side of the vessel. "Lindsey", Ross said, "Hold on, I'm going into some high speed manuvers", Ross said as he gunned the engine of the fighter. The speedometer went past Mach 1, then Mach 2, Ross and Lindsey strained against the G-forces pushing them back into their seats. Mach 3, Ross strained hard against the G-forces as he locked onto the assault ship and fired a pair of TALON missiles, which flew through a gap in the ships shields and set the hangers on one side ablaze. Ross turned away from the Necros ship as Plasma pulse bolts screamed their way. Ross gunned the engine again, full afterburner, and swerved back into range of the enemy ship, fired a couple missiles and perfomed a high-G "J-Turn". Ross was staying in range just log enough to fire before zig-zagging out of enemy AA range, manuver based on a similar tactic used by Admiral Horatio Nelson at Trafalgar. Ross repeated the manuver four more times, the missiles struck home, the last pair sending the engines of the Necros ship up in a sheet of flame. The flaming enemy ship fell to the ground as it's engines were disabled.

David Kilgore Meets Kimberly Ivy Blackburn: A Necros-Vector Crossover
David Kilgore stood alone, hiding in the shadows of a Necros structure, as a Necros patrol passed. He was deep behind Necros lines, on a Necros Fortress World in the Jaguar expanse, on a mission to assassinate a Necros General. David was no ordinary soldier, even by special operations standard. He was a Revenant, product of a failed Necros Conversion attempt, he still had a human brain, but a Necros-enhanced nervous system and mechanical limbs of Necros origin.

Kimberly Ivy Blackburn stood at a table in a laboratory at Harvard University, staring down into a microscope. It was five years into a new beginning for Kim Blackburn, who, until then, lived a life she had not chosen. Her mind and body were under the control of Flood DNA and a cocktail of drugs and hormones forcibly injected into her before she was even born, she was truly psychotic, used by ONI as an assassin. When she was not a slave to the dark side of human nature, she was its victim, being abused physically, psychologically, and sexually by ONI operatives. But now, she was free, having been recovered from the horrors of her past, now looking towards a bright future as a nuero-biologist, on the cutting edge of human biotechnology. Little did she know, the horrors in her life were far from over. Suddenly, bright light flashed behind her, she was sucked into a bright tunnel of light. "What is happening to me?", she thought. By the time that thought was through her head, she was on solid ground again. She stood inside a building with gunmetal walls, surrounded by what looked like humanoid cyborgs, an amalgamation of metal and living tissue, presumably artificially grown. One of the cyborgs, which looked like the leader of the squad, raised a large, light machine gun-like weapon at Kim. With her enhanced reflexes, Kim dived out of the way of hail of plasma from alien's LMG. The alien's plasma fire instead hit a machine, possibly the one that had somehow transported Kim to... wherever she was. Kim lunged at the alien cyborg and kicked the alien in the face, slamming it to the ground and stomping the downed alien cyborg, crushing its metal head with her genetically enhanced strength. A second alien ran at Kim with a chainsaw-like sword. Kim siezed the alien by the arm not holding the chain blade and tossed it over her shoulder. The chain-sword flew from the alien's hand as it slammed into a wall. Kim took the plasma LMG from other alien she had killed and opened fire on the the alien cyborg horde, cutting them to pieces with a spray of bolts of plasma that seemed to exploded as they pieced their target, like an M6 pistol slug.

David suddenly heard a the sounds of smashing metal and gunfire from inside the building behind him as the Necros patrol turned towards the door of the alien structure. A Necros Warrior Form armed with a Vindicator missile launcher and blasted down the door. Most of the Necros started firing into the building, but a Demolisher and four Aggressors turned to face him David. David reacted instinctively, with the reflexes of his cybernetically enhanced body, David raised his MA2B Carbine and fired a the M026 Grenade launcher under the barrel. A 25mm "smart" grenade detonated right above the head of the Necros Demolsiher, sending deadly chunks of shrapnel through the Necros' mechanical bodies, tearing through artificial and cybernetically reanimated flesh, blasting through metal, and shattering the AI cores of the enemy cyborgs. David rolled to the right and pumped the action of the M026 and fired a second grenade, blasting away several more Necros before a hail of plasma pulse shots cut down the remainder of the Necros soldiers. Out of the building ran an uncommonly attractive, physically well built woman in her 30s wearing a lab coat and wielding a Necros Light Rotary Pulse Cannon. "Who are you?", David asked "And what's a civilian doing in a place like this?"

"Who are you?", said a voice to the right of Kim Blackburn "And what's a civilian doing in a place like this?" Kim turned to see where the voice had come from. The speaker was a man who had mechanical limbs similar to those "things" she was fighting, wielding an MA2 Carbine with a grenade launcher of a model Kim did not recognize. "Strange", she thought "I thought I knew the specifics of every UNSC weapon." "ex- Chief Petty Officer Kimberly Ivy Blackburn", Kim said, "I don't know how I got her, one moment I was looking down a microscope in a lab at Harvard and next moment I was right there" Kim pointed to the destroyed alien machine in the building. "But, anyway, who are you?, And what are those things", Kim pointed at one of the alien cyborgs.

"What?", David asked, "How could you not know about the Necros? We have been fighting them since 2615!" "2615?!" Kim asked, "But it's only 2589....Isn't it". "No", David said, "It's 26xx.... Wait a sec, Ms. Blackburn, You said you entered by a Necros teleporter. I know this sounds crazy to you, Ms. Blackburn, and to be honest, I sounds crazy to me too, but it seems that the Necros teleportation device must have somehow created a rift between two dimensions, and you were sucked through." After a short pause, David said, "Oh, yeah, I forgot to introduce myself. I am First Lieutenant David Kilgore."

Suddenly, David the screaming of the engines of three Necros Nemesis LRVs. David quickly turned and fired his M026 Grenade Launcher and blasted the first Nemesis LRV to a mass of burning twisted metal before he turned to the second Nemesis LRV, which remove of it's driver with a well aimed burst from his carbine. David mounted the now driverless Nemesis. "Ms. Blackburn", sit behind me and hold on!" "Lieutenant Kilgore", Kim said "Please stop calling me Ms. Blackburn, It's Kim" "Sorry, and I guess you can call me David if you want, or Dave, don't care which, might as well, considering I have a feel we'll be getting to know each other pretty well over the next little while", David said. "Alright David, where are we headed?", Kim asked. "To the edge of a forested mountainous area, only place the Necros haven't strip mined yet. Then it's on foot to a site in the woods, that's where I've been hiding for the past few weeks."
