Venetian Sangheili Demon Slayers

(This page is supported by an AU in which the Guardians have not yet been activated.)

The Venetian Sangheili Demon Slayers were a team of high-ranking ex-Covenant Sangheili tasked with the killing or capture of Spartans that were sent planetside during the UNSC Blockade of Venezia in 2559.

During the UNSC's blockade of Venezia in December of 2559, a small team of Spartans was sent planetside under the sanction of ONI Retrieval and Acquisitions in order to investigate a Forerunner temple, used as a religious site for the many ex-Covenant citizens on Venezia. This was known as Operation:ARTIFACT.

Upon landing planetside, it wasn't long until, through the encounter of F-99 Wombats, the team was rendered overt. The Venetian QRF was quick to arrive, however the team managed to retreat to a safe distance, not before one of their members, Allison-D298, was severely wounded by a Wombat's strafing run.

As the team recovered, they were soon engaged by an invisible force, and through the course of the engagement, they realized these three enemies were Sangheili, sporting a unique look never seen by UNSC eyes before. The Sangheili would employ a unique weapon as well, titled the 'Energy Saber' by the Spartans. As a result of the combat, one of the Spartans was moderately wounded, and the Demon Slayers managed to escape with Allison in captivity.

The next time the Demon Slayers were encountered was during the second raid on the Forerunner temple, in which the local remnants of a UEG-supporting Venetian Army was deployed to assist the UNSC in their efforts. Equipped with farmer-armour plastered 2319-model Z12 Warthogs, the force, under the callsign of Charon, would escort the ODSTs of Fireteam Oxford to the Spartans rendezvous point deep inside the Venetian forests. A sporadic M41 operator would fire on Venetian wildlife in a fit of anxiousness, alerting local QRF to the location of Charon Convoy.

As a Longsword, mounted with two 50mm cannons, would strafe the convoy, the surviving members would flee into the forests, only to encounter the Demon Slayers when First Lieutenant Oddone Ramella was the first to fall prey to their Energy Lances. Fortunately, the Spartan's rendezvous point was not far, and hearing the commotion, the Spartans would arrive in time to save what little was left of Charon Convoy. In doing so however, the Spartans would lose Samuel-B097 in the combat. However, due to the quick action of Dan-A225, the group would manage to bring one of the Sangheili down, known in the Demon Slayers as Ultra Rtet 'Sudam. The remaining members would flee, much to the distaste of Ota, however with the loss of one of their own, the team was objectively outnumbered.
