Introduction
''Oh yes, I remember Ceres. It was a very fertile planet, filled with giant trees and large canyons spanned by awe-inspiring bridges. It seemed peaceful enough, save the fighting between us boys, the Covenant and the natives. But the real problems lay below, down on the planet's surface. There, it was always nighttime and the creatures that lurked in those depths sought to feast on the flesh of whatever wandered close enough. And it was there of course that we had to fight most of the battles...''

Far from the regular lines of battle lay a planet, forgotten by time. Filled with rampant growth of the flora, vast canyons and large expanses of nothing. Nowhere is safe on this planet, and its' situation will not improve. There is little sentient life, save a few Human and Covenant outposts and the tree-top towns of the native creatures. Soon this will change though. Creatures will arise from the depths. Some of which have never been seen before....

''The Last Battle of Ceres? Oh I don't even like to think about that. It was one of the worst battles I ever went through. No one knew what happened until it hit us. We thought nothing could stop them....''

The planet's relative peace will turn to chaos. A Forerunner installation guards two secrets never meant to be found. The giant flora and huge mountains was meant to cover up these secrets. But soon, they will be unleashed. And unless the installation is allowed to do its' duty, nothing will stop them....

Background Information
Shortly after the Battle of the Satellite, the UNSC Endeavor was sent to the coordinates of signal that was sent from the station. They came out of slipspace in orbit of the extraordinarily fertile planet of Ceres. They set up base and planned to claim the planet for the UNSC. Covenant soon arrived though and tried to claim it for themselves, and the native species, the Bujkowe, fought both forces with extreme ferocity. Nearly a year after the fighting had begun though, something happened. All that the humans managed to get out was an extremely garbled message. It was as follows:

''Mayday, Mayday. This is Ceres base. We need immediate assistance from any UNSC or allied Covenant forces. I repeat we need immediate assistance fromany UNSC or allied Covenant forces. The base is under attack by these strange...things! They are not Covenant, Bujkowe or wildlife, they're like nothing I've ever seen. We will attempt to hold off the creatures as long as we can. Hurry before... aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!''

51
The Marines at the Head Quarters were facing a losing fight. Colonel Anthony Carr was firing a pistol at the Hydra and the Flood coming at them. Then, He saw an Infection form flying towards his face. It tried to take over his neural circitry, but, due to his Spartan-1 Augments, it couldn't. He kept on fighting. But, his prodigy, Major Gregg Woods wasn't so lucky. Carr had to watch as the man he had trained and kept as a son being taken over and consumed into these creatures. He fired his prized M6D and killed Woods. Carr continued fighting as the flood and hydra began to close in on the building. SSgt.johnson

52
A form snuck up on Carr, about to pounce, but it was sprayed with rounds of bullets.

"Contain the forms at the crack. Numbers are great, but give the soldiers time to set up a more suitable defensive system," Lambda Leader calmly ordered his squad.

"Copy." There a Kshnk as a rocket left the SPNK launcher, detonating in the middle of a concentrated group of unusual Flood.

"Get the wounded and dead clear of the Flood!" called Spartan-089, pulling the body of Major Woods with one hand and firing off rounds from a Magnum with the other.

The transport to the naval space fleet will have to wait. There's more work to be down at the HQ.

--Dubtiger 13:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

53
The Marine Waited and Waited, but nothing. Until.. Heard a sound in the bushes, he repeated his distress call into the microphone mounted into his helmet. “Dear Lord, Can Anyone hear me?”, He Distressed , “HELP ME!”. Then over the trees came a pelican hovering over him. “Thank God it’s you!”, Said Hamishi. Just as he said that the pelican’s engines blew and fell and the pelican flew down beside him. He Cursed as Interstellar Flood Poured out of the pelican. He was going to be DEAD! He Prepared for the attack blow. Just then, out of the bushes came out Ceres forces. The Interstellar and the Ceres fought each other. “What the..?”. He knew one of them was going to win so he picked up an SMG and ran for Shelter in The Obelisk. He made one last call, this time on with the Draco‘s radio Antenna, “PLEASE, I need Backup! The Interstellar are regrouping HERE! Please! HELP!”. --þ†öWè®¥ ^ (UNSC Fleetcom)(UNSC History)(UNSC Mision Log) 20:22, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

54
AJ fired his SMG's. It was a huge battle. He HATED fighting on the ground. He liked fighting in space. Down here, it was different. Up close and personal. It wasn't like he hadn't fought on the ground before; he had been shot down plenty of times. But, this time, it was different. There was flood all over the hill, and the only way to win was to declare a code Badnersnatch and nuke the place. He continued to fire at the flood combat forms that were coming too close.

Back at the UNSC Yamato's ground force headquarters, the building was surrounded. Carr knew what he had to do. He called up the UNSC Yamato and ordered it to bombard the HQ with its MAC guns. It would take 5 minutes. He loaded his last clip into his M6D. He ran outside and fired wildly at the Hydra and flood.

One of the junior officers remembered an escape plan they had made up. She ran down to the basement of the building. The flood were beginning to move into the building. She ran, pulled up the escape hatch and climbed down into a tunnel with a gassed up warthog. She ran back up to where the Spartan's were. They had to escape. AJ

55
Omega was carried by his loyal Flood forms, and at first sight of the Hydra, took note of their racial statistics. The final conclusion; volatile, but not a MAJOR threat. The CF-1s incinerated them with Defoliant Projectors with ease, being able to destroy every last bit of the creatures in a single arc of flame. Finally, as they neared a Covenant grav-lift, there was a sudden noise, and they were surrounded by more Hydra; it would certainly be a challenge.

He floated in the air, and the Enforcers assembled before him in neat rows of 6. Three in front with Shotguns, three in back with Miniguns. The preciseness of their assembly was almost frightening. Continuing down into the dense, thick undergrowth, he overserved the creatures inhabiting the planet, taking samples, and killing the rest. In the entire hour that passed, only 3 MEs were lost, while enemy dead numbered somewhere in the hundreds. It was indeed TOO easy, and he had yet to see a single Command Form for the Flood.

--117649AnnihilativeRepentance 02:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

56
Minutes passed and the unusual Flood proved to be no match for the excellent precision of the four Spartans, losing ground to the UNSC. More time passes, and the UNSC ground forces manages to contain the Flood and they began pulling out of the location. With some handy equipment, the Flood pressed their attack on multiple energy barriers, to no avail. Sometimes it is best to use something you don't really know much about - those energy barriers were stumbled upon hours earlier in a swampy location, and brought to the base for analysis.

"Objective completed. The UNSC are preparing to bombard the current location. Evacuate immediately," reports Lambda Leader, reloading his pistols.

The other Spartans did not have to acknowledge that - three simple flashes on the HUD of Lambda Leader's helmet confirmed the withdrawal. They followed the rest of the UNSC survivors towards the base, who intent on gathering as much transportable supplies as possible for evac.

--Dubtiger 15:57, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Clayton, Devyn and Andrew climbed the cliff face and then continued across pieces of machinery until they were right over the Dark Abyss form. They fired three rockets with extreme synchronization and then fired three more. They reloaded and repeated the process. After a couple more rounds the beast roared and died. The marines and ODST's were filled with hope and fought with renewed strength. But the Flood weren't done with the Dark Abyss form. About two dozen Infection forms jumped into the Dark Abyss form and revived it. It gave out a Flood warcry, striking fear back into the hearts of the marines and ODST's. Clayton, Devyn and Andrew had run out of rocket ammo. "What do we do now?", asked Nicholas, watching the whole situation. "I don't know!", yelled James, "Clayton, Devyn, Andrew, what's the situation? Why haven't you fired?" "We're out of ammo!", Devyn yelled back. "Well, think of something before...", he couldn't finished because the Dark Abyss form's head was right beside him. He turned, stared at it and fired. The thing recoiled and almost grabbed him before it was hit by plasma blasts. All the forces turned to look and saw a small Covenant ship, about twice the size of a Phantom, was coming in and bombarding the Dark Abyss form. It soon died, completely ripped to shreds and the humans took out the rest of the Dark Flood while the Covenant ship landed. Out of the ship came a small Covenant task force and they assisted in clearing out the rest of the Flood from the area. "Who do you think they are?", Katelynn asked James. "Haven't a clue, but if they'll save us from the Flood, they're friends to me."

The Colonel killed 20 flood combat forms, countless infection forms, and 50 carrier forms before the MAC rounds started falling. He looked up and that was the last he saw. The sky of Ceres, the birds above. The resulting explosions created a 50 foot crater at the old H.Q. Half of a mile from the base, Lambada Squad got away.

AJ saw the Marines fall. The flood were too much for them. He loaded his last clip into his SMG. Then, he looked up. Above him, 10 Katana Fighters screamed across the landscape. They began to fire missiles and thier chain guns on Brokenback Mountain. AJ

The word captured was uttered upon the bridge of the UNSC Manticore, and, at last, Contrite awoke. His photoreceptor blinked on and he looked around. He was close to this ship's captain's main computer, and this ship's AI. Contrite continued looking around, and noticed that no one knew he had awaken. He silently floated to the computer, and used his physical data transferer on the computer.

As he connected to the bridge computer, the alarms rang (as Contrite had expected) and suddenly all attetention shifted to him. But it's too late for you idiots thought Contrite, as he finished placing his last virus. THe virus got to work and gave him control of every system on the ship. Contrite removed his data transferer, and floated away.

One of the marines closest to him shouted, "Stop right, there!"

Contrite just chuckled, moments before the cruiser lost all power and fell out of slipspace. Contrite turned deep red as he connected to the power grid and communications grid. He amplified the signal on the comm array, and projected it through slipspace. The signal arrived at its destination and bounced back, giving Contrite all the infomation he needed for his next minor plan. Tapping into the power grid again, he used all of its energy to help create one of his teleportation fields, creating a recieving field on the cruisers bridge.

The field glowed bright gold and a massive hulking... droid came out of it. The droid was easily over 5 metres tall and 3 metres wide. It stared around the room and assessed the threats. A nervous Marine accidently squeezed his trigger and hit the droid. The bullets bounched harmlessly of the droid's armor. The droid turned to stare at the marine which had shot him. It opened its shoulderpads and revealed and dozen micro-missiles. Some Marines turned and fled, others just stared in shock while the rest futilely tried to destroy the Forerunner's creation. Ten seconds later, the bridge was severely damaged and the rest of the Marines was killed by either the poison gas seeping through the ventilation or random explosions of electricity. Contrite and his droid were still on the bridge, talking to the ship's AI, attempting to retrieve information from it.

"You will tell everything you know about the recent situation on the planet Ceres." demanded Contrite.

The ship's AI, Olga, looked up at the monitor and raised one of its digital eyebrows, "Surely you can do better than that?"

Contrite flashed through many colors, "You have forced me to do something I was planning on doing later now." Contrite went over to the AI's panel and injected it with a virus. The AI's fuzzed as it's systems were taken over by the supervirus.

Olga looked up at Contrite again, "My life for yours." The AI fuzzed again, "Sorry, I meant how can I help you?"

Contrite chuckled, "Set a course for the planet. Make it look like a crash landing." Contrite floated over to the main viewport, "In the mean time, tell me evrything you know about Ceres and those that are on it."

The ship flew over an area of bushes and shrubery. The ship's comm relay picked up a Marines distress signal, shouting for help.

Contrite looked at the AI, "You heard the Marine, drop all vehicles outside, except the heavy stuff, if possible."

The sky above Hamishi was raining with falling Warthogs and Mongooses.

The ship continued crash landing, and arrived at an area designated by the UNSC as Broken Back Mountain. A battle was going on below and the largest thing was a giant black hole. The monitor stared at it in amazement. He shock himself out of his state of stupor, "AI, crash us... into the mountain"

The AI began to oppose the order but the virus took over, "Very well."

The cruiser fired upon the mountain and created a large hole in it, large enough for it to fit into, which it did. The sound of metal screeching travelled through the vicinty. The monitor turned to the AI, "You know what to do, infiltrate the UNSC encampment here. We'll be gaining the flood's trust. It is imperative you do your task well, if my greater plan is to work. The flood must be stopped."

A Pelican pulled away from the crashed cruiser and began to seek out the flood.

The Endless Justice had landed and the Squad of Unrelenting Reparation had assisted the humans in taking out the Flood. But then, they had heard loud shrieking. "What's that noise?", Nibesa asked. For a grunt, he was very intelligent, surprising all who knew him. "I know not, but just keep fighting", Jemsal replied. But then he had looked up in the sky and noticed a large human ship coming down towards them very quickly. It looked like it would crash right into their own position. "All forces, evacuate!", he yelled, "A ship is about to crash into us! Run!!" They all had begun to run when the ship took a near nose dive and opened fire on the mountain. It had shook and quivered, but the ship had crash landed straight into the hole. All the forces survived the impact with minor casualties and continued to take out the Flood. When the Flood were killed, Team Alpha moved over and greeted the Squad of Unrelenting Reparation. Of course, it was only a short welcome. "We need to report to our commanders", said James. "Your welcome to come along though." "Yes, we'll come and introduce ourselves to your commander", said Jemsal. But when they got into their tent, they found a marine with a gun pointed at both of them. "Who are you?", asked James. The marine then turned around quickly and fired several rounds at the groups. He then jump-kicked towards James, to which Jemsal responded by grabbing his feet as they gave and throwing him to the ground. But instead of hitting it, he landed on his hands and summersaulted back to his feet. He then charged the group, but was knocked unconcious by the two Hunter bond brothers, Cer Muso Coun and Den Muso Hico. "Thanks for the assistance", said Fleet Admiral Wilson, "We needed it right then." He turned to the Covenant forces. "And who are these? They saved my life, so I think I should have an introduction." "I", began Jemsal, "am Jemsal 'Emvadson, the leader of the Squad of Unrelenting Reparation. We are with the Covenant Separatists, so you need not fear us." He turned to his squadmates. "This", he began again, "is Ketynic 'Ilwol, the stealth expert and my second-in-command. This is Nibesa our recon and decoy expert. These two are Jaig and Ank our two trackers and snipers. This is Luzzda, air and space support as well as assasination/ambush expert. These two are Cer Muso Coun and Den Muso Hico, our heavy supporters. These two are Jarikus and Samorulan, the tactics, weapons and vehicle experts. There is one more member, our mentor Ameigh Broley, but she is not with us." "So", began Amy, "A Covenant Separatist task force, you say? Made of two Elites, one of them a female interestingly enough, a Grunt, two Jackals, a Drone, two Hunters, and two Brutes. A motley crew. May I ask why two Jackals, a Drone and two Brutes are with you?" "I and Samorulan", said Jarikus, "saw the error of the Brutes for following the Prophets. We chose to stay with Jemsal, whom we respect highly. Luzzda owes his life to me, so he had to come. As for the Kig-Yar, I know not their reasons for coming." "We came", said Ank, "because we also respect Jemsal. And besides, our Brute commander was about to feed us to his pack." The two Hunters then began making rumbling noises and ran off, trying to catch something. When the other's looked, they saw the odd-acting marine running off. "Wait", cried Jemsal, "Stop!" The Hunters immediately obeyed the order and turned around. "What was with him?", asked Fleet Admiral Wilson. "I think I know", said Andrew. "I think he was under the control of the Dark Flood's command form. He calls himself Darkmind. Me, AJ, and Omega S Squad encountered it in the forest on the way here. It had taken over a girl then, but now it must have taken over him." "So what do we do?", asked Amy. "I don't know.", said Fleet Admiral Wilson, "but right now we should check out that downed ship. Team Alpha, Dragon Squadron and Squad of Un...Unrelenting Rep....Reparation, Unrelenting Reparation, right?", he looked to Jemsal, who nodded he was correct, "We need to think up an easier name for you guys. But back to the subject at hand. You three groups need to go down and investigate that ship, A.S.A.P. So grab your equipment and go. Move out!"

The Vultures provided close air support to the UNSC forces on Brokenback Mountain. On the grount, Lieutenant Commander AJ Lewis was out of ammo. He ran back to the main base to get a new weapon and more ammo.

The Hellcats were still very good even with the loss of thier commander. Hellcat 2 was in command and he was very good. They were providing close air support to Brokenback Mountain for hours. The hill was experiencing great casualites. They ran to thier Longswords and rocketed down to the surface.

AJ looked up. Covenant Phantoms were landing on the planet. They had to be brute... there was no other way. He ran at his top speed to the Headquarters on Brokenback Mountain. AJ

The UNSC survivors of the Darkmind's attack approaches Broken Back Mountain to find varying degrees of damage, the direct result of impact from a UNSC ship. However, it seems that there were very few casualties ((sorry for spelling - it just looks incorrect)).

The members of Lambda Squad disengages from the approaching group to speak with whoever is still in charge of the camp.

The UNSC forces hadn't realized that what a pain in the neck it would be to place their base in the valley at the top of Brokenback Mountain. It had seemed like the perfect place to retreat to when the Flood had attacked: it was an easily defendable position with more than enough room to fit all the necessary equipment. But they didn't realize they would be pestered by the Bujkowe. They had disturbed a nearby tribe during the rush of the move, and they considered the mountain valley a sacred place. They had pelted the base and nearly invaded it during the Dark Flood attack. They seemed, at present, more of a threat than anything else on that planet. They kept coming and coming, endless numbers rushing the base and catapults throwing boulders into it. Fleet Admiral Wilson was trying to fight them back as hard as he could, but he wasn't much for working miracles. As one of the hardest attacks began though, a group of UNSC forces approached. They opened fire and killed every single Bujkowe out there. "Fleet Admiral Wilson!", cried one of the marines, "We got reinforcements! And Lambda Squad's with them!" Everyone got excited then. Lambda Squad walked through the camp, asked one of the marines to take them to the commanding officer and they met Fleet Admiral Wilson. "I'm Lambda Leader and this is the rest of the Lambda Squad!", said Lambda Leader. "You couldn't have come at a better time.", said Fleet Admiral Wilson. "Thanks for the help. Where did you come from?" "We were at the UNSC Yamato's ground base. It just happened to end up being in the middle of a battle between the Hydra and the Flood. The Yamato gave an orbital bombardment. The Flood and Hydra there are dead, but only a quarter of the forces there escaped through an underground tunnel. They're coming in right now." "Well, at least you survived.", said Fleet Admiral Wilson, "But I have an assignment for you right now. Normally, I'd send my personal friends Team Alpha to take care of something like this, but since they're investigating that crashed ship, I need you to do it. We scanned the planet to try to find the sources of the Flood and Hydra. We found a place where the Flood are coming from. I need you to go there and be an early warning for them. We'll follow soon and go down to take out whatever's controlling them. Just like on Artic IV." "Sure thing", replied Lambda Leader. They went and grabbed some weapons, ammo and transportation. Then, they were off.

"The time has come!", yelled Doommind. "Darkmind! Bring the body parts to me!" "Yes, Doommind!", Darkmind replied. He disappeared but soon came back with a dozen other Dark Combat forms, all of them carrying body parts. They laid them before the Doommind who then proceeded to place Flood Super Cells on them. Soon, the body parts rose up as Pure Flood forms, ready to serve Doommind. "Darkmind, bring me more body parts! Go my minions, devour and bring more to join you! Consume all! Our hour draws near!"

"James, this is Amy. You there?" "Yep, we're here", said James as he stepped into the ship. "Place looks pretty torn up. I don't think there are any survivors. We'll keep looking though. Did you want to say something?" "Yeah, you missed all the action. You should have seen Lambda Squad cutting down those Bujkowe. Almost looks like I trained them. But you might want to hurry up with that inspection, they got to take your job. Wilson sent them off to role out the red carpet to the Flood domain for us." "Don't worry, we ought to be able to finish up here soon. Half the ship's already been checked. James, over and out." He looked over at the rest of his squad. They had split into half a dozen squads so they could get done faster. "You guys seen anything?", he asked. "Nothing", said Katelynn. "Nada", said Clayton. "Nope", said Devyn. "Wait, I think I got something!", yelled Nicholas. "What is it?", asked James. "It's a marine. He's barely alive. Wait, he's trying to say something. He says they were attacked by some sort of a robot. They it was shut off. It came back to life, took over the entire ship and crashed into the mountain. It flew off." Nicholas paused. "The marine's dead now, James. I think we have all we need to know. Let's go back up." "I agree", said James. "All members of Team Alpha, Dragon Squadron and the Squad of Unrelenting Reparation, we're going back to the base. We searched the ship, it's clean. Let's go!" He changed to Amy's COM channel, "Amy! We got a Monitor on the loose. And this one sounds rampant."

The AI, Olga, watched as a group of Marines searched her ship and continued watching them as they began to exit the vessel. The AI had half a mind to let them go, and not let them get trapped in a vicious game, but Contrite's virus took over. Olga moved through the ship's network to a holopanel near where the Marines entered. The AI looked around and heard the sounds of them coming closer, the began shouting "Help me!"

An areial regiment of pelicans landed and Colonel Peter Lewis stepped out onto the surface of Ceres. With him, was the 45th Regiment, 2nd Briagde, 405th Marine Light Infantry Division. He checked for the M7 Caseless SMG at his side. He then checked to see if he had enough ammo for extensive combat. He was ready, his marines were as well. His job was to secure a clear pathway for Major General Nelson and the 51st Armoured Division of the UNSC Army Corps could secure the several kilometres of land that made up Grid Bravo 22. All Bujkowe and Covenant Rebel guerillas were to be taken out.

James crouched down as an elite hunter-killer team passed by. These were all Special Operations elites which were more than a match for a SPARTAN-III. Several minutes passed before a spectre manned by three minor elites and one major came along. A perfect weapon to deal with the Spec Ops elites. James signaled the rest of the team and the attacked.

With two warhogs, Lambda Squad arrived at the location pointed out to them by the fleet admiral. There, Flood forms were already settling in on the surface, pouring out of some ancient structure. Without words, the entire Spartan team opened fire, beginning the skirmish.

Admiral Robert Valentino looked at the screen. There were dozens of covenant ships approaching Ceres. After the bombardment of the ground base, and the loss of 90% of thier ground forces, all the Yamato could do was attack in space. The Hellcats still had no idea where thier commander was and the Yamato needed some reparing. It had been damaged in the space battles and it showed. The 36 year old Carrier was still state of the art wtih constant upgrades to its cooling system, MAC guns, and the addition of a new AI named Napoleon. The AI looked like Napoleon and it had a taste for conquest. It was one of those new "Smart" AI's that would expand thier knowledge over their short 7 years of life. The AI had the responsibilities of firing the MAC Gun and checking the systems on the Yamato. Least did the crew know... AJ

Team Alpha walked back into the Brokenback Mountain base and went to the command tent. "Hey, Amy!", yelled Katelynn. "Guess what, the ship had one survivor. It's an AI named Olga." "What? I thought you said it was totally empty." "She showed up near the end" Katelynn then went back over everything Olga had told them on the way back. I don't trust her, said Nichole. James reached and turned off his COM channel. "I don't either. Coming up right at the last moment, barely catching our attention, somehow managing to survive. And most of all, she claims she wasn't even touched by the Monitor. It just doesn't seem to fit together." Best if you just play like you trust her though... for now. "Sure thing." He then turned the COM back on and Nichole simply got back to battle analysis. "So what do we need to do?", asked Jemsal. "My team is restless, especially the Lekgolo bond brothers." "Me no want battle", piped in Nibesa. "You never want to fight", replied Ketynic. "OK, shut up, all of you!", Amy ordered. The room got silent. "Fleet Admiral Wilson returned to space, so I'm in charge now. Lambda Squad went ahead and started fighting the Flood at their emergence hole. All of Brokenback Base is going to move in soon. All of you should go and meet up with them. Andrew, you and the rest of Dragon Squadron should go back to space. I heard something about more ships are coming into the system. Now, Katelynn, hand over that AI. I'll keep her. Now everybody, move out!" With that, they all moved out. Dragon Squadron climbed into their fighters and took off back into space. Team Alpha reloaded their Alternator Rifles and grabbed extra ammo and grenades. The Squad of Unrelenting Reparation also went and grabbed some more weapons and ammo and then they unloaded their vehicles. Then, they all hopped onto their vehicles. Jake and Samuel jumped on one Mongoose, Clayton and Devyn jumped on another Mongoose, while James, Katelynn and Nicholas climbed into a Jungle Hog. Jemsal, Ketynic, Jaig and Ank jumped into a Spectre, Luzzda and Nibesa grabbed a Dual Ghost, Samorulan and Jarikus jumped onto two Brute Choppers while Cer Muso Coun and Den Muso Hico climbed into a Sprite. And with that, they were all off.

As the large UNSC fleet comes into orbit of Ceres, another large slipspace portal opens across from it. In a few seconds at least thirty unidentified human ships come through. They all stop across from the human fleet. No movement from them begins to become uneasy. The portal behind them closes, and each ship activates its horn at the very same time. It is an eerie sound. Almost ghostly. This continues for a little over 5 minutes. Then, nothing. Kebath &#39;Holoree 17:45, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

A bullet Piersed straight through Hamishi's Shoulder. "Augh" he yelped. Thousands upond Thousands of infection forms came into view. He waited for the impact, but nothing. he looked and saw 2 forms of flood he'd never seen before. they spoke to him: "We must Eliminate the largest threat first, but we may not do it alone". 'offering an allegience?' he thought. they heard a humming sound above, and down the stairs came a monitor. "HmmmHmmHmmHmmHmmm, OH! Hello" the monitor hummed, "I am 343 Guilty Spark" "What??" Hamishi interupted, "You Died on Installation 04MK2. How are you-" 343 Interupted, "Ah, I understand your query. When Installation 04MK2 was created by the Ark, it also knew there should be a replacment monitor, 343MK2, but that name I dont like. so I just say 343." "Why, Why should there be a replacment when the origional 343 was still active?" Hamishi asked. "the Ark knew that 343's programing was much too obsolete so I was created." the monitor informed, "oh my, there seems to be flood forms here that havent been catergorised into proper databanks.

Archaic Chivalry watched everything that was unfolding. He didn't wish to do anything unnecessary, such as sending out his Sentinels to destroy all the lifeforms before it was a requirement, if he didn't have to. But he was astonished at the activity. The Reclaimers were fighting off the Flood and Hydra quite admirably, though they were too few in number and too ill equipped to do any real good. The Bujkowe were also quite admirable in their attempts to defeat the innumerable foes, though they were even less qualified. But Archaic Chivalry was horrified at the site of all these Flood and Hydra. The Flood that had been kept on Ceres had been joined by two other forces, one of them being a specialized force with new forms. And the Hydra kept growing as well, taking over some of the Flood as well. But Archaic Chivalry was further surprised to find that there were other Monitors on the planet. A replacement for 343 Guilty Spark had appeared, but Archaic Chivalry was not sure of his motives or siding. Another Monitor had briefly been spotted flying away from a ship it had crashed. Archaic Chivalry believed it to be the rampant Monitor 3607 Contrite Dictum, but he could not be sure. In any case, the situation had begun to grow out of hand. Regrettably, he told his Sentinel Generals to send out ten times as many Sentinels. The time for action had come. If the situation didn't improve soon, then he would be forced to annihilate all the forces on the planet.

"Your attempts to subdue us are pitiful. Just give up. There can be no victory." he said as he looked up at the dead fleet above the planet. "I am Forge". he said quickly.

The AI on the Yamato was experiencing the early stages of Rapancy. Named Grendel, it was modeled on the villian in the Book Beowulf. The AI was starting to think thoughts... thoughts of power... control... having a complete UNSC Carrier at its disposal. But, these thoughts were kept down because Valentino had the key to activate the Riemann Matrix in the AI. The AI was actually 6 years old, but the UNSC swore that it was only 3. The AI's creator, Dr. Inac Halabo had created it in 2550 as his own personal AI. But, the UNSC took the AI under its control and began to use it for military purposes. The UNSC Yamato's crew continued battaling Brute Ships over Ceres.

The Vultures had done admirably on thier bombing runs. They were helping the UNSC... but then, 9 Longswords came from the clouds and began to fire on them. Vulture One was hit and he crashed right into Brokenback base.

Lieutenant Commander Lewis saw the Katana-Class Fighter fall from the sky. He wondered why it was shot down. Then he recognized the tail colors of the longswords. They were his squadron. He ran to Brokenback base to find out what happened to the Katana-Class Fighter. AJ

Colonel Peterson opened fire on the flood infection forms with his SMG. The balloon-like creatures exploded before a wave of combat forms rushed in. One of the marines screamed as the creature infected him and began to transform him into a combat form. Colonel Peterson's SMG clicked empty and he drew out his MA5B Assault Rifle and continued to fire. He cursed as India Company's signal went off of the radar. "This is Colonel Lewis calling for air support." Said the colonel over the comm. "Roger that. Please evacuate the area as we are going to carpet bomb it." Came the reply. "All units fall back to the LZ!" yelled the colonel.

James tore the elite right out of the driver seat of the spectre and shot him with his MA5K. A Special Operations Lance came charging through the forest to them. Tuan opened fire from the spectre's gun turret and the elites screamed as the plasma burned right through them. Another spectre came and James ran at it and quickly killed the occupants before getting to the gun turret. James smiled. It was time to kill.

Contrite's Pelican rushed over landscape, which was overrun by various battles or occupations; most including Flood and the other similar species. Contrite stared out of the cockpit window searching for the hole the Flood decided to creep out from. Barely concealed and largely noticeable due to Flood surrounding it, the entrance was roughly as large as Contrite's Pelican. Contrite turned to O'Mand, "Into the hellhole." And with that, Contrite accelerated straight into the Flood hive.

The AI, Olga, materialized herself and came face-to-face with someone she had never met before. "Oh! Hello." she said in surprise.

The image soon faded from before Archaic Chivalry. So, Forge is here, he thought, Then the time has come. "All Sentinels, move to a full alert!", he announced, "Initiate a full scale assault on the Flood and Hydra forces! Attempt to prevent hostile contact with the Reclaimers and other lifeforms! Move the production of the Sentinel factories up to level 13!" Archaic Chivalry continued to bellow out orders, the Sentinels springing into action. They began to pore out of select holes in the planet's surface. They moved to annihilate the Flood and Hydra, as was their missions, and the casualties of all three would be high.

Jace wondered what had happened. He had tried to hail the fleet...and his fighter hadn't let him. He clicked his board, and saw that time had lapsed for a while. To long. He had blacked out. He wondered dimly why he had, then saw that his mission clock had been scrambled. An EMP blast then. But why had no one noticed it? Surely the fleet would've seen a EMP burst hit a squadron of inbound Broadswords?

Suddenly, his comm clicked, and he tentatively answered it. Apparently not everything was down. In fact, looking at his readouts, he saw his slipspace drive was still active, and that all systems but a few were functioning well. Odd, but not impossible. He looked out his cockpit panel for the firts time, and saw was not all as it seemed. It was not space that he saw, but rather the inside bulkhead of what appeared to be a freighter, and surrounding it, dozens of soldiers wearing ratty tatty clothing, and carrying old and new weapons; Pirates.

They followed me... thought Jace, and he cursed. He spotted the other Broadswords of the squad nearby.

He wasn't about to go down without a fight though. He jammed down the triggers and unleashed a deadly hail of— nothing. He checked his readouts, and saw that they had taken out all of the ammunition in his fighter. He was unarmed.

But he wasn't, not yet anyway. He still had his MA5K in the back, and he would use it well. Trouble was, they had had no time to reload it from training practice when he left the asteroid, so it was loaded with stun rounds. Damn. He unclicked his restraints and ran to the back end of the fighter. The fleet must not have realized that they were out there, or they would have sent help. The ship was probably in transit already. Silently he grabbed the MA5K and prayed that the others were all right.

Word had gotten back to select officials in the UNSC about the battle. They now knew that it had become more than a simple investigation and would probably turn sour very quickly. So they had ordered another new unit to be deployed to battle. A more powerful unit, equipped with powerful weaponry....... They had been picked from the same batch as the new Team Alpha and Dragon Squadron, but they had been separated and trained very differently. They had each been given a newly developed piece of technology, the Heavy Battlemech-Biosuit, and they had been trained to use it. Now, they would finally get to see some action. Who were they? They were Team Beta. The members of Team Beta consisted of the other children of the original Dragon Squadron and Team Alpha. Each member used a different variant of the Battlemech-Biosuit, giving each an edge in a certain field. The team consisted of Caleb Harrison, Ethan Walters, Jessica Summers, Challen Della, Nathan Black, Rebecca Cragin, Ruth Davis, Rachel Davis, Carlie Walters and John Davis. They had a fierce opposition towards Team Alpha and Dragon Squadron, since both of those teams believed themselves better than Team Beta. Now, it was the chance for Team Beta to show what they were made of. "Team Beta", said a voice over the COM line, "Your time has come. Set course for Ceres and engage the enemy. Annihilate anything in your way. Those are your orders. Good luck." "Roger that", said Caleb, "Let's get this show on the road people!" "Yes sir!", they answered. Their ship lifted up and turned to face the direction of Ceres. The crew put in the coordinates and entered slipspace.

Vulture 1 climbed out of his Katana. It was badly damaged when a longsword fired a missile at it. The Katana crashed into one of the buildings at Brokenback Mountain. As he climbed out, he saw a figure dash in the darkness. He called out to the figure, wanting help for his wounds. Then, he heard a voice he hadn't heard in a long time. That of Lieutenant Commander AJ Lewis. AJ ran over to him and helped him into the Head Quarters. Once he got there, the Soldiers loaded thier SMG's and aimed at Captain Holstrom. The Marines wanted to arrest him for the crimes of Traitorious Deeds against the UNSC, AWOL, Using Stolen UNSC/ Corporate Equipment, Arms Trafficking, Buying/ Use of Stolen Nuclear Materials, and Illegal Use of Nerual Implants. But, Lewis stood up and told the Marines that Holstrom may be thier only hope... They needed the 225th Naval Squadron back for this battle. They needed reinforcements. And Captain Holstrom... was their only hope.

The AI on the Yamato was firing the MAC gun as fast as his circuits would allow. He always wondered why he was assigned this task. He concluded that this task was given to him because of his advanced mathmatical properties. But, one part of him always thought... "Maybe I should be doing more?" He knew that in a few weeks, the UNSC would try to shut him down by activating his Riemann Matrix. He had seen it happen before; the looks on the AI's faces. He didn't want it to happen to him... It wasn't going to happen to him. He continued firing the MAC gun.

Hellcat 2 finally got word from thier Squadron Leader. Lewis was on the ground with the fighter he had shot down. It was the head of one of the best Squadrons in the Navy. He flew down and allowed Lewis and Holstrom to be evacuated. Almost immediately, Valentino pardoned Holstrom's crimes and granted him the rank of UNSC Captain. They flew to Vulture base because the rest of the Vultures had bugged out after Holstrom was shot down.

When Lewis, Holstrom, and Hellcat 2 got to Vulture base, the Vultures cocked thier M6B Pistols. Holstrom got them to lower thier weapons and told them that they were pardoned and were to report to the UNSC Yamato immediately. But, Valentino sent a Code Badnersnatch on Ceres. The Vultures showed Lewis and Hellcat 2 a weapon they had been holding for a while. It was the 2nd Prototype to the NOVA bomb. They had stolen it from Reach before it was glassed. They loaded the NOVA onto Vulture 2's Katana and they slipspace jumped to the UNSC Yamato. When they got to the bridge, Valentino pardoned them and they awaited the order to NOVA Ceres. But first, they had to evacuate all remaining forces from Brokenback Base.

Grendel saw what was going on. He thought that the NOVA was the perfect solution. But, something bugged him. It was something his Creator put in him. It wasn't a fear of Nuclear Explosives, but the fear of something else. What it was, he couldn't put his "finger" on it. He went off doing regular maintenence on the Yamato.

Forge new what was happening. But He had no interest in fighting back with all his forces. Only a select few were sent into battle. The rest, in the fleet above, began to move around and hover over the ground across the planet. Forge was preparing, preparing for something that has be done by the flood for ages across the galaxy. This planets time has come. Forge looked over at the humans and the other creatures fighting for their lives. "Such a glorious time." Forge said as he floated around watching the ships move into position. A brain form crawled next to Forge and began talking to him. "We are almost ready. This planet will fall quickly." Forge looked down at it. "Yes, this planet is ready to fall." He replied gladly.Kebath &#39;Holoree 18:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Darkmind entered the chamber that held the rapidly growing Doommind. Over the course of a few days, the mighty creature that grown greatly, now barely fitting into the chamber. "Doommind, one of the new Flood forces has a leader. It is an ancient one, older than all Graveminds..... it is Forge." "WHAT!?!?!? Forge dares to come here!?!?!? That thing is created in the image of one of our enemies! How dare he think we would accept him!" "Doommind, calm down for now. I suggest that I go and make an allegiance with him and then when we have conquered the planet, we can.... dispose of him. Painfully. Rip out his fires one by one, and making him watch it all." "Perhaps. Though I don't think that has as much of a psychological effect on a robot than on a sentient being." "True. But it would be fun nonetheless." "Fine then. Go, and make an allegiance." "As you wish, Doommind."

A large cruiser slowly flew over Forge. It casts a large shadow over him, illuminating his dark gold light. Humming joyfully, he floats around studying the Hydra. A species he had only had contact with once before. A very short once. He started categorizing this species in his data banks. "This is a very interesting species." Forge said to himself cheerfully. He noticed something soon after. They acted somewhat like the flood... The flood... He soon remembered his mission. He turned his attention to the flood. They were behaving rather odd. Something was happening. He must investigate. Kebath &#39;Holoree 21:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

"Hellcats, Vultures, Listen Up!" said Commander AJ Lewis. "Our mission is to end this flood threat and go back to Earth. And in order to do that, we are going to NOVA Ceres. This may be painful to watch our fellow comrades die, but we are going to drop the NOVA and slipspace jump to where the Yamato is going to be waiting for us. Got it?" "Sir, yes Sir!" The Hellcat/Vulture Squadron ran to thier Longswords and Katanas. They flew to the atmosphere of Ceres and released the NOVA.

Grendel watched the starfighters fly off on thier mission. He kept on having a wierd feeling, but he kept on putting it down.

The UNSC Yamato couldn't do a slipspace jump. Its Reactors had gone bad and they couldn't do the jump. Valentino watched and waited.

5...4...3...2...1... The NOVA exploded. But, since it had been tampered with, it only took out a chunk of the planet. The Hellcats and Vultures watched as a portion of Ceres was obliterated. But then, they got new contacts... slipspace ruptures

Valentino watched as new contacts appeared on screen. Then, a mysterious figure, the figure of an alien appeared on screen. This alien was a bipedal figure, about 9 feet tall. But the thing about it was, was that it looked weak. A new message came across: "We are the Precursors, and we have come back to take over our Galaxy".

The viewing screen on the UNSC Yamato split into two as another being came on. It was Forge. "This is my galaxy. Not yours! I will not give it up so easily." Forge yelled at the precursors. "I had my own plans, you are not part of them!" He yelled again. "Leave now or face your eternal destruction!" A slipspace portal opened far off beside the precursors fleet. Hundreds of ships came out. Its design was familiar to few, but undeniable. They were forerunner ships controlled by flood. Never before was such a fleet seen in thousands of years. And now it was at Ceres and ready for battle.

Grendel finally knew. His creator had been studying the precursors for a long time. They were more technologically advanced than the forerunner themselves. They had left the galaxy, but now, they were back. Grendel began uselessly firing the Yamato's MAC Gun at the ships.

The UNSC Yamato cracked in two. the Precursors technology was too advanced. Some sort of laser fired straight through the Yamato splitting it in two. Valentino was instantly killed but the Hellcats and Vultures made it off. Lewis saw the forerunner ships fire on the Precursors. He wondered how to end this threat. Then, he knew. Where there are flood, there is a key. Where there is a key, there is a halo. AJ 01:23, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

All the UNSC forces looked back at what had been the entire continent that had held the Flood emergence hole. They stared at what had once been part of the planet, now floating off into space. And as they stared out into space, they noticed a large slipspace rupture. Out of it emerged a fleet of strange looking ship. Advanced ships, more advanced than anything that had ever been seen. "What do you think those are?", asked Jake. "I really don't know", Amy replied. Then another large slipspace rupture appeared farther off to the side of the strange fleet. Out of it jumped a fleet that they could tell was clearly Forerunner built. The two ships opened fire on each other, and a battle began the like of which had not been seen in a 100,000 years. Then, they opened fire on the UNSC forces also, firing lasers that cut several ships in half. "No!", yelled James, seeing several of the guard ships for the Annihilator get taken down. A voice was soon heard by the waiting onlookers. "All UNSC forces, this is Fleet Admiral Jim Wilson. Attempt to evacuate the planet. Take as many Flood and Hydra with you as possible. Good luck friends." With that, the COM line crackled off. "You heard the man, let's move!!", yelled Amy. "Yes ma'am!!", they all yelled. Nicholas stopped though and turned to face her once more, "But, all of our Pelicans, Albatrosses and all the other ships are on the far side of the hole." "Then we'll go around. Get moving, we got a long trip." "Yes ma'am" All the forces mounted up in the vehicles, and those that couldn't simply ran as fast as possible. They needed to reach the far side of the planet and evac before anything else could go wrong.

Blackheart, the Hydra Commander form, looked up into the sky now that he had finally broke free from the containment chamber and saw a sight he had never wished to see. He looked up and saw both Forerunner and Precursor ships engaging each other in battle. He knew of the Precursors, the beings that even the Forerunners themselves had known little about. They were the ones that had imprisoned the Hydra in the first place, before the Forerunners had accidentally released them. The Forerunners had merely created imperfect copies of the Precursor technology to contain the Hydra with. "Find anything to get off this planet! Defeat the Precursors! And find a Monitor for me so that I may control this planet as well as these fleets!", he bellowed to his Hydra forces. Thousands of Cell, Melee, Ranged, Worm, Aerial, Infected, Spawner and all the other forms heeded his command, doing what they could to carry them out. Blackheart bellowed out evil laughter. This planet would be his as the galaxy was long ago.

"Dragon Squadron!", yelled Fleet Admiral Wilson, "See what you can do about these ships!!" "Sir, yes sir!!", they replied and sped off to do so. They engaged the Flood-controlled Forerunner ships and the Precursor fleet. They fired round after round of all their weaponry into the ships, only to have them explode on them without making so much as a dent. "They're too tough", yelled Cindle. "Hang in there", replied Justin. But then things got worse as the Precursors released remote controlled fighters into the fight. They started taking down the fighters and bombers, and since they were remote controlled it didn't matter if they exploded since another was simply launched from the onboard factories. "I need help!", yelled Luke, "I can't shake him!" "I'm coming!", replied Andrew, but he was held up by several fighters of his own. "I can't make it!" But suddenly, another ship, UNSC this time, appeared from slipspace. Out of it launched several large, robotic suits. The suits moved into the fray and destroyed the fighters that had been on Luke's tail and then took out the ones behind Andrew. "Who are you?", asked Andrew. "Don't you remember us?", asked one of the suits. Andrew recognized the voice then. "Of course, Caleb. Where have you been?" "Training. I'm here with the others. We're part of a counterpart project for James' team. We're Team Beta now." "Well, let's take these guys down, eh?" "Sure, let's go!"

The Fleet of Complete Annihilation entered the Ceres system. They had come to respond to the Squad of Unrelenting Reparation's request for assistance, but they found much more. There was a space battle of epic proportions between the Humans, Forerunner ships and another, unknown type of ship. The Fleet Commander turned on the COM line. "This is Dwan 'Onroal, Fleet Commander of the Fleet of Complete Annihilation. May I speak with the Fleet Commander of the Human forces?" "This is Fleet Admiral Jim Wilson, commander of the UNSC forces. Can you give us a hand with these Flood and Precursors?" "Precursors? They have returned?" "Yeah, and they ain't too happy. Give us a hand, because they ain't in a talkative mood right now. They'd rather destroy you than talk to you." "Of course" He switched the COM to that of his fleet. "All warriors of the Holy Covenant, attack the foes!" In his mind, 'Onroal wondered about his decision. Had he made the right choice? He didn't have time for that at the moment though and turned his attention to defeating these foes.

The Hydra finally managed to break into the capital city of the Bujkowe. They storm the city and took over all the inhabitants, turning ones of no use into immobile Spawner forms that created more Cell forms. They reached the Golden Hall with little resistance and then after a short fight, captured Chieftain Tekciw. After a trek across the forest, the Hydra forms gave the chieftain to Blackheart. He was quickly absorbed into the Commander form and Blackheart began pouring over the Chieftains knowledge. As Chieftain, he was well versed in their history and legends, something that Blackheart desperately wanted. As he poured over all this knowledge, he finally gave what could be called a smirk. He had found what he was looking for.....

From the depths of space, a creature sped on its' way to Ceres. It could see it in the distance, a bright green planet mixed with blues, greys, and browns. And above it was what he sought. The Precursors. His creators. His tormentors. His prey. The creature was Nogard, an ancient beast created by the Precursors in an experimental weapon against the Hydra. He was indeed the perfect weapon against the Hydra, but he was only a mindless killing machine, tormented by flashes of memories from his past as a Precursor. And now, he planned to kill them all, as they had killed him.
