Introduction
''In the dark void there lies a city; silent as the night. Ancient, forgotten whispers echo through the silent shadow, speaking of old, horrible things to come. And the savior, he shall come in an unlikely personality, but save the city he shall; save it, or destroy it. And from the repaired citadel if he indeed becomes the savior, or the old ruins if he becomes destructor, shall once again rise his ancient army of old''

The Archive is a massive Forerunner platform, ruined and partially destroyed, floating in space with nothing to orbit. It once served as a mass-production facility of Sentinels, and a storage area for all knowledge of Forerunner weapon systems, other races, and history. The long forgotten Monitor that once guarded its vast stuctural complexes and mechanics placed in stasis. After the destruction of Installation-07 on December 4, 2552, the mixed Covenant and Human forces found their way onto the platform, awakening ancient uncontrolled Sentinels, and the failed ONI Project; Fenix. Now, a UNSC expedition has been sent to investigate strange disappearances, along with two rival Covenant expeditions to explore the 'artifact'. When these 6 forces collide, the ancient construct will be shaken to its very core.

TIME:DATE RECORD ERROR ANOMOLY \ Date Unknown \ Location Unknown The air fizzled and crackled as the gold light faded. Hank looked around. He was in some sort of old, yet advanced looking building. It reminded him a lot of Installation 03. He checked his HUD, but all he got was a time anomaly, which made no sense. Perhaps the strange gold light that had apparently transported him here had reset his mission clock.

Hank stopped the process. He didn’t know where or when he was. It seemed odd, saying that he didn’t know when he was…but he didn’t. Apparently the clock was broken, and because of that, the computer couldn’t figure out where he was based on the age of the UNSC signal they had intercepted. Hank opened the message. It was an ; the only things Hank could make out were a person and the letter M. He ran the image through the database. A link popped up. Apparently, the image was called the Arecibo Message, and was sent to the M13 Global Star Cluster in 1974. Wherever he was, it was a long way from Earth.

Hank suddenly had a thought and reached for his sidearm, an M7 SMG. It was still there. He felt across his back, and the M90-B semi-automatic shotgun he had borrowed from Alpha Base on Coral was still there. His sword was also still concealed across his back, and the many throwing knives he had sown into his uniform in various locations. Lost, in both location and time, he may be, but unarmed, he most certainly was not. Hank turned to view the room around him. He was in a vast chamber. He spotted a door, and began heading towards it.

Aboard the UNSC Spitfire, four SPARTANs wake up from their resting pods. Yes, pods. These are not like those sci-fi pods that people sleep in from those movies one watched centuries ago. These are genuine cryptochambers used for a person to rest while waiting for the slip space travel to finish. Fast, yet slow at the same time. Fast, since slip space travel allows ships to travel between galaxies. Slow, since these galaxies are so far apart from each other.

One of the SPARTANs got to his feet. It is hard to tell who this person is if not for his muscled build, and his determined face. The face of a born warrior.

"SPARTAN-127 reporting," he said in a quick, military-like tone.

Each of the other SPARTANs also reports in.

"SPARTAN-089 reporting."

"SPARTAN-132 reporting."

"SPARTAN-046 reportin'."

"Sir! The Spartans have come out of Cryo any orders for them?" Asked a creman. "Yes tell them to investigate that structure in space. Captain Coed sent a request for help from that location" replied Admiral Stephen Chow."Also" He continued " I want the 501st to accompany them when they reach the location. We need to insure the fact that we can rescue all UNSC and Covenant Separatist Personnel."

The ODST 501st Battalion and Lmbada Squad were preparing for an Orrbital Drop inot the archive oblivious to the fact that there was thousands of hostile sentinals and flood waiting for them below.

The Ice Monarch drifted toward the UNSC fleet. Parts of the carrier seemed to fall off as fire raged on it's hull. The AI constantly sent a SOS to the fleet hoping to get a reply. Kunzite sighed. In order to protect one child he had to put her in a cryotube. The Empire forced the remains of his fleet into a black hole and made him watch. He pleaded that he would do what ever they told him to do to save what was left. Now a Lieutenant, Charrolette Hepner ordered the bridge crew to make what repairs they could to the ship.

"Am I a traitor now Charolette...? Or am I a fool to have let this happen..." He asked her.

"No sir. You saved us all and for that we are greatful. You are the best Admiral I ever served under sir." she replied to him.

She was right. He looked at a ripple in the blackness of space. The Cher Ami. In moments allied Seraphs would attack the damaged carrier forcing the UNSC to rush and protect an Admiral. He was to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Tell the Spartans to go ahead and contact the Seraphs and tell them we're ready... I hope when they find out... they would forgive my crew. I will take full responsibility."

"Sir...? By your command then... Ensign Marge signal the Seraphs! Mr. Vaugn speed it up!" she ordered.

The Ice Monarch sped up as the fake attack began. It looked to real though... Kunzite doubt that the UNSC fleet would even noticed what they would be doing. He sighed as he went to the Cryo Lab. He looked a his third child in her shimmering green armor.

"Forgive me kis pofa... please fogive me..." he said to her.

The Cher Ami landed with no problem. Imperial Shock Troopers quickly came out and secured the area.

"My liege the area is ours. Orders?" a trooper with a red arm bands asked.

Four SPARTAN-IIIs came out of the prowler. The smallest touched the floor and made rapid hand signals. A girl walked towards the leader of the Shock Troops. Her SPI helm unpolarized and her salmon eyes searched for something.

"Well done... send soem scouts out. I tought I saw something land here from the fleet over there. Have the Unggoy and our engineers create a command post here and then send Lucy to this structure's containment area... That should confuse the some Flood and force them to do her bidding." she said in a calm voice.

The Troopers scattered with no question to her orders. Michel convered with his squad mate Rey. Nicole helped the Unggoy, Huggork, and the engineers set up the command post. Not all there need to is find the monitor. Lysira's intructions were to control the Flood with Lucy, who here self seemed half Flood anyway... Then find the monitor. She said if they identify Michel as a forerunner decendent he would help.

"What the hell is a Forerunner?!" she asked.

''Surface of The Archive. Day after destruction of Installation-07.''

Captain Coed looked out at the vast expanse of The Archive, Councilor 'Evrolomee next to him, and remembered all that had subsided only months ago; The Battle of Reach, the random jump, the Halo, The Flood... he remembered them with the most clarity, the Monitor (he was on the Eternal Peace now), the Sentinels, the destruction; he could remember that glorious time, when he saw the ring explode and be destroyed...

"Coed?" the voice brought him back to reality; it was 'Evrolomee. "Yes, what is it?" the Captain said, pouring some ice cold water from a canteen on his face, "Observe" the Councilor said, and Captain Coed looked; it was impossible...

Fleets of ships were emerging out of slipspace, and he could see them in orbit; battling or otherwise maneuvering. Some belonged to the UNSC, some belonged to the Covenant (the Covenant were fighting eachother, suggesting that some were Seperatists). "How can this be? I thought this place was hidden..." a nearby Elite muttered, and he was right, at least in Coed's manner of thinking...

''Aboard Assault Carrier; Eternal Peace. Same time.''

117649 Annihilative Repentance hummed various melodies to himself happily as they neared The Archive, collecting data from data ports scattered around the ship. "Coral? This ship has visited Coral? I do wonder how the construct faired, as it does not give much information in this ship's data banks..." he whispered to himself, thinking of the many oceans and Forerunner constructs left below its surface; as well as its Monitor and the Sentinels.

"However, there are other matters to attend to!" he said to himself, seemingly trying to break his fascination with the collected data, "I shall organize and compile it later". He floated through the overly large corridors, and had a conversation with Lagedon as well; the A.I. was glad to have a very intelligent being to talk to for once.

He continued to float on, and took control of the ship's sensors, but what he saw did not appeal to him. "Life forms? Here of all places? That simply cannot do!" he said in a dissapointed tone, "This will only HEIGHTEN the Flood's chance of escape, but I suppose 39020247 Irremediable Affliction would be responsible for such a calamitous outbreak..." and with that, Repentance floated away humming to himself, unaware of the various dangers that lay lurking underneath The Archive's battered metal surface.

''Core of The Archive. In stasis cell. Deep within central programming of 'thought'''

The ancient Monitor of The Archive; 39020247 Irremediable Affliction lay trapped in his dark cold stasis cell, deep in thought; the dark blue electro-gravitational lines of energy constantly writhing around and across his old rusted form.

They were foolish to put him in stasis; the Flood would surely break free of their loose bonds, and the vast, innumerable number of Sentinels he had left on the surface and deep in the underground tunnels would be left uncontrolled.

The only thing that still functioned on the Monitor inside the stasis cell was its ability to think, and a very valuable ability it was; for this was the primary programming of all Monitors; think and contain.

Lambda Squad went down to the surface of the construct, mainly for clearing a landing zone for the bulk of the investigation team to land. When their pelican was at an elevation of 15 feet off the surface, they leaped down, their M7 SMGs ready to be fired. They all landed at the same time, creating small craters in the metal beneath them.

"Ground contact made," reported Lambda Leader, "scanning for hostiles."

The small group of SPARTANs walked around the clearing, checking beneath crates for trapdoors and behind the closest doors of constructs.

"Clear. Deploy," said Lambda Leader.

"This is 1st squad moving out for recon work of the surrounding area." As the recon squad moved throught the door they got an uneasy feeling. Then almost as if out of thin air a Sentinal Enforcer came along and vapourized one of the ODSTs. The remaining three ran for cover and immediatly fired their BR-55 Battle Rifles at the enforcer only to have it rendered useless by the Enforcer's shield. The enforcer then vapourized yet another ODST before he finally lost his left shield. Seeing this as pure luck the ODSTs threw a Frag Grenade at the enforcer blowing off its left arm. The enforcer turned around still ready to fight when out of nowhere a combat form shoved an energy sword into its back destroying it. The combat form then charged towards the ODSTs only to be brought down by their battle rifles. "Warning this passageway is full of hostiles were fallung back now." Said the Recon Squads commander but he then blacked out as two infection forms buried their way into the bodies of the two remaining ODSTs. "So there are humans in the archive." thought the brain form in charge of the flood as he learned everything from the ODSTs. They could finally get off this city in the sky and the humans would help them do it.

Ship Master Masu 'Twassee and twenty Special Operations Sangehili landed on the Archive. "Special Operations Commander 'Pudmee go and scout out the area with ten Special Operations Minors. In the meantime the rest of us shall set up an encampment for more soldiers to land." "Yessir." Replied Special Operations Commander 'Pudmee as he took ten Special Operations Minors and went to explore the Archive.

Deployment + 00:01:14 \ Location Unknown

Hank reran the process on silent mode to try and establish the time and location. A few seconds went by before a small green light at the bottom right of his HUD blinked twice, the signal that there was an error. He shut off the process. Hank opened the E-Band again, hoping for some clue as to where he was. Instead, he found UNSC encrypted transmissions. He ran them through all of the encryption schemes he had, but none of them worked.

“Perhaps there is a new encryption I am not aware of?” Hank thought aloud. Something small, like a rock, clacked against the ground a ways back behind Hank, and though the echo was imperceptible, Hank heard it clear as day. He turned, shotgun ready. He heard something behind him, and a bit above; it sounded like a sponge sucking on the metal surface of the room. He turned again, gun raised at the sound, but there was nothing. A tad nervous, Hank double checked his ammo count via his HUD. His shotgun had twelve rounds chambered, and he had an additional thirty rounds. His M7 had a full sixty-round clip with one round chambered, and he had three more clips. He also had a pair of M9 HE-DP fragmentation grenades that he had almost forgotten about. Something took a covert step behind Hank. He whirled around to face a trio of Infection Forms slinking their way ever closer. Not wanting to waste ammo, Hank slung his shotgun and drew his sword in a single movement, and casually cut the pods down as they jumped at him.

Something moved in the corner of Hank’s left eye. Hank dived aside as a cluster of Infection Forms tried to flank him, rolling up into a defensive position and cutting a few that had been slow to jump at him before apart. Not even bothering with the other five or so, Hank turned to dash towards the door he had spotted earlier. As before, no matter ho long he ran, it felt like he was running circles, never seeming to get any closer to the door. Hank cursed silently to himself. He rolled forward, coming up to face the attackers that were behind them. Instead of the five that had been there before, there were thirty. Hank cursed again. What was the Flood doing here anyway? Hank made a mental note to dislike anything else that ever reminded him of Installation 03, because the Flood always seemed to be around. His sword flashing in a dazzling display of prowess, one that he had trained for many years to attain, Hank charged through the mass, which was what he figured was the last thing the semi-sentient pods would expect him to do. As he exited the mass of goop that had once been thirty Infection Forms, Hank took the time to wipe a little yellow slime from his red shades that he always wore and wondered how long he could keep this up, just him and the Flood with no apparent escape.

“Long enough,” he silently promised himself. At least he could take comfort in the fact that, from what he had learned from the giant Flood form aboard the Honorable Vassal when he had been captured earlier, the Flood had trouble infecting him for some reason. That, added with the fact that he had yet to fight any Combat Forms, which offered the hope that perhaps he was the only person to set foot here, and thus the only available food to become a Combat Form, was all Hank needed to motivate him to just keep fighting until a solution was presented.

Spec ops officer Emoro 'Remofmee came to a strange computer. "'Pudmee look at this facinating thing I found!" "Impressive, stay here and examine it." "Indeed." Emoro pushed and pulled buttons and read and learned facinating things about the facility, control, programing, all of it. "I must tell 'Pudmee!" When he turned an infection leaped upoon his skin and transformed him not into a combat form but soon a Brain form that knows all about the facility.

His crew watched the battle from their seats. They couldn't ignore an Admiral's orders? Hepner hoped they would notice. The Seraphs backed off to avoid being noticed. The Ice Monarch joined the battle launching it's Longsword squadrants to support it.

"Hepner I want that MAC gun firing five min. ago! Mr. Gerald I want the Shiva nuke ready to fire at the largest covenant carrier! Have the Spartans be ready for us if we take to much damage." he ordered.

'Pudmee's lance was moving forward through the Archive when they met some strange humans with wierd armour. As soon as they saw the Special Operations Sangehili they opened fire. "Why are the humans doing this? Are we not allies? Stay here I shall see for myself." Said 'Pudmee to his lance as he activated his active camoflague. He snuck the human at the back of the formation, grabbed him, pulled him to a safe location, and put an energy sword to his throat. "Why did you open fire on us human? Are we not allied?" Said 'Pudmee to the human. "Yeah right we are gonna kill all of you UNSC and Covenant Separatist B--s!" but before the soldier could say anything else 'Pudmee slit his throat with the enrgy sword. The soldier's insignia read "Dragon Empire Imperial Shock Trooper". This could not be good he would have to inform the surrounding forces immediatly that this rescue mission was going to be harder than they thought.

Emoro 'Remofmee transformed into a brainform that knew all about the facility. And now his first job was to interrogate his primary target, 117649AnnihilativeRepentance moniter of the seventh Halo.

''On The Archive. 12 minutes after.''

117649 Annihilative Repentance glided down to the platform, even the most sweltering of atmospheric heat not phasing him at all; the alloy used in Monitor casing was indeed a marvel of Forerunner manufacturing. "Lah-deeh-dah..." he silently hummed to himself, the rings of pulsating purple emanating from his diamond-like shape dissipating into the cold air.

He finally reached his destination, and began accessing a data port on the surface of the platform, the electrical crackling making crisp sounds through the seemingly endless 'night'. "What a wealth of information!" he mused, although his cheerfulness dissipated like his pulses when he saw what had happened to the station's Monitor in the data archives. "Stasis? This is unacceptable!" he murmured.

The Monitor floated over to a different control panel, and began accessing it; thousands of extremely complex Forerunner symbols and endless streams of numerical symbols began dancing across the holographic control, and suddenly it winked out; he had gained control of two of The Archive's Sentinel Production Facilities. "Now then, this SHOULD be enough to quell the uprising and contain the Flood!"

''Core of The Archive. In stasis. Same time.''

39020247 Irremediable Affliction sensed another Monitor accessing the Sentinel control systems; this was bittersweet.

For one part, the Monitor could caretake the platform while he was incapacitated, but the other was that if a Monitor was here, it meant that its Installation had been destroyed.

He isolated a single stream of code best he could, seeing as he was within stasis, and identified it immediately; 117649 Annihilative Repentance.

In his deep complex algorithmal thought proccessor, he thanked and woed, that the most intelligent of the Monitors had come. -Monitor of Installation-07 11:17 PM, May 15th, 2007

Hank dashed for the seventh time in the last minute towards the lone door that lead out of the antechamber he had found himself in, and for the seventh time in the last minute, he found that no matter how long he ran, he didn’t seem to get any closer. In fact, he seemed to get farther. He paused to cut down two Combat Forms, which seemed to have no problem with the strange properties of the room. Then it hit Hank. Combat Forms, Infection Forms, the Flood in general, all of them couldn’t see. They didn’t have eyes, they had “sensory antennas” that sprouted from the victim’s neck. Thus, they would not be fooled by any sort of allusion this large room caused. Hank looked one last time towards the door, closed his eyes, and sprinted towards it.

…and ran right into a Combat Form. Moments before it swung its tentacle-ridden arm and crushed Hank’s side, Hank opened his eyes, sensing a disturbance of the air, and dropped to his back, narrowly avoiding the powerful blow. He managed to chop out with his sword, catching the zombie in the legs. He preformed a neat back hand spring and decapitated the zombie as it fell. Hank turned back to the door, and had another idea. Perhaps it was the uniformity between him and the door that created the allusion. Hank tossed a frag grenade towards the door. Four seconds seemed like a lifetime before the grenade exploded, marring the intricate tiling of the floor. Now, with a point of reference, Hank easily jogged to the door, no longer tricked by the strange properties of the room. As he approached the door, it flashed white three times. Only training told Hank to dive aside, and as he did, a gold beam cut across the now open door. Sentinels. They began pouring into the room. However, while they had initially been concerned with him, the Flood presence seemed to preoccupy them well enough that they didn’t both turning towards Hank.

Hank ran on through the door. A small beep sounded in his ear. His helmet computer had decrypted the UNSC transmissions based upon previous UNSC encryption schemes. Hank played the files as he jogged down a narrow hallway. Through the general banter that a UNSC fleet produces, Hank noted several things: some Spartans reported in, orders for an ODST drop onto the platform that Hank decided he must be on, reports of hostile ground contacts, ODST teams subsequently going out of radio contact, and an alpha-priority order from an admiral. Hank turned right and went down another hallway, half digesting what he had learned, half watching for anything that moved. He went into the first room he found unlocked. Inside was a computer terminal. Hank quickly hacked in, translated as much of it as possible, and then bumbled about file to file until he came across what he perceived to be a map of the facility. He downloaded it into his HUD. Hank surveyed the map, picked a spot that looked like a hangar, and plotted a course there. Hank intended to get off this platform, warn the UNSC fleet in space about the Flood, and then hopefully get a free ride back to Earth, if there still was an Earth.

“There is no escape, Hank.” Hank turned, but no one was there. It was the same voice Hank had heard prior to being teleported to wherever he was now. Hank drew his sword, took a moment to recollect his thoughts, and then burst from the door, prepared for anything. When nothing attacked, he set off for the hangar marked on his HUD.

Michel sighed. He watched a Sangheili murder his soldier. His SPI armor mimiced his surroundings as he set up his sniping post. He was ready now.

"Sgt. Bow I want those bastards out of here before the LC comes. Also call for Lekgolo support... then set up Rey's special mines. You know the spider ones?" He said.

"Yes milord. Let us hope no one elese dies. Also Lucy has gained some control over the Flood. Some are even patroling for us! They don't know who they are dealing with!" the Sarge said.

The Shock Troopers, now dug in, set up auto guns they got from their heretic allies. Michel hoped they'd win a... and if Flood allies wouldn't be enough perhaps Forerunner assistance would scare them off.

Kunzite's Ice Monarch glided into the heart of the UNSC fleet. He was confused but it would fade. He needed to know why they were here and possibly save them from sharing his fate... Then again he just found his missing children... his wife... he wanted to be at their sides so he vanquished the thought.

"This is Admiral Kunzite D. Gem, who is incharge here?!" He bellowed into the comm.. All he got was just voice barking out orders.

"We should talk to them after the threat has been neutralized..." Hepner said to him.

"Right... Continue the battle then. Is her impierial majesty here yet? I could use her presence..." he replied to her.

"Almost. Do you believe that she is actually a Forerunner sir?" she asked.

He ignored that question. She isn't human... that's for sure. He sat in his chair holding a sword's hilt. Will this all work?

Empress Lysira felt one of her pawns die... So much for a stealthy kill. But at least the Flood are under her control. She just needed Lucy to move next to one. Sangheili and human crew waked about monitoring their stations. She appeared human, 18 of age... that s only because she could change her age and appearances at will due to her psionic powers. She could deflect bullets, crush anyone's enternal organs and move faster than a sangheli spec ops commander an councilor combinded.

"It is almost time... I never thought I would see this place again but... it is hard to remember... Hard not to remember." she whispered.

"Of course it is. That monitor from 07 should listen to you yes?" a man asked.

"Yes of course, if he indentifies me as a Forerunner in a reclaimer's body. Contact the the ship he was in." she ordered.

The comm system snaped on. She rose up ready to give her forces a morale boost and send them to die in the battle. If Kunzite is there he should pervent the UNSC from firing on their new allies. The Covenant is a worst thorn to have the the UNSC.

"Ths your Empress... it is time now to destroy your foes and strike them where it hurts. Once this struture is ours it will weaken the enemy into to a point of surrendering but do we take prisoners? NO... they all deserve to die..." Lysira said.

At that moment Lucy should have heard the code word and set the Flood loose on the Covenant-Human forces. Her vessel launched drop pods full of infectous forms at the UNSC fleet. They should punch into the hull and dwindl their numbers and then she gave the order for her fleet to attack the Covenant Separtists. Now... now she could just rest a tad bit...

The SPARTANs and the small band of ODSTs that join them began scouting the area, searching for hostiles that are close to their only haven on this unusual hunk of metal. Hattie, SPARTAN-089, went ahead about an hour ago to check for anything of interest. The SPARTAN returns to the group and she reports her findings. They cannot rely on the communication links, since anyone can easily hack into the systems and monitor their progress. "I found a hangar bay ahead. From as far as I know, it is empty," said Hattie. "We'll go ahead and secure that position. We can move our landing zone to that location," said Lambda Leader, "move out." The small group of UNSC soldiers head towards the hangar bay, unaware of the presence of the Flood combat forms that wander close by...

About 300 HEVs hit te area infront of the SPARTAN-IIs. Imperial Troopers and Heretic sangheili fired upon them. Jesiah-O21 moved towards the hanger looking at the Flood. He walked in with his squad mates and a hundread troopers.

"Looks like we got more units.", he said seeing Lucy play with rocks," Lucy come here. Your not safe here anymore..." he said to the 10 year old experiment.

She may not look it but she is 100% Flood despite her childish attitude and human appearence. The little girl jumped into Jesiah's arms and the kept mving deeper and deeper into the structure.

"If I see one UNSC soldier... survivors will be purged."He said.

Mahiru-O248 stayed behind with the troopers. She her self didn't resemble her father but her mother like her twin, Michel-O247. She played to much and never really kill much. She skiped to her drop pod and pulled out her kit then followed her squad mates. She waved buh bye to the UNSC soldiers as the began to retaliate and sealed the Hanger door completly.

"Door sealed! Arming LOTUS mines now and.... BOOM!", she giggled and ran after Ophelia.

"Well well...," Michel spotted a Juggernaut enter the camp passivly,"Ma'am looks like we got heavy Flood support. What ever Lucy met on the inside it seems to like her eought t protect the camp...

"Roger... We're moving inside. Our reinforcements will come soon enough and then this place will be ours." Mimi whispered.

Michel jumped off but froze as he saw a sentnel. He regained his balance as he IDed it from 06. Were they always on the Prowler? He didn't care... he moved into the structure with 250 Imperial troopers. His mother never asked for anything so this thing will be his gift to her and he promised her that their lives would be normal after wards.

Kunzite roard,"Where the hell did those HEVs come from?! Hepner forget the wolf gig! My daughter is in..." he paused seeing her figure going in." Get us out of here before they notice!"

"Sir! Allied forces attaking the enemy! It's 2 to 1! Take that ya bunch of covie bastards! No offence Reims..." Vaughn said.

"None taken. If the UNSC fires on an you they will ahve to come up with an exuse for your ONI friends. They need you to tell them the truth and ONI will do anything to get you back no? Then you are safe if, and I am sure there is, an ONI agent within their Fleet. They always are..." He replied.

Reims clicked his mandibles together. Why did jesiah jump the gun?. He shook his head and monitored the crew. The plan was set...


 * Ambush UNSC personel before they head into the structure


 * Crush all UNSC an Covenant


 * Recruit the Human-Covenant forces into the Empire.

He hoped that the human troopers can tell the difference between the factions. Then again he himself got confused with human faces. Lysira is the only one he could put in a different category. She is white as snow and quite gentle around her demons. Especially with Michel and Mahiru, her so called babbies... He envyed her.

The Imperial forces began to search for the monitor. If they find it they can ID themselves as allies and the UNSC and Covenant enemies. Their faction's uniforms and armor for their troops is easily reconizable.

Lysira could feel the Flood... to much for her to control. An army of Floodlings swarmed aound her but didn't touch her... They cleared away as she entered the brig. She looked at her prisoners; marines, captains, Covenant Seps including the councilor in a cryotube, and an ONI spy. Her great fleets took down many UNSC ships and captured their commanders and surrendering marines. Her great Empire proved their worth on Installation 06. The Covenant there chose their fate and she decided that she would let them go.

"Fleet Master... get me a drop pod... aim it to the achive..." she didn't feel right letting her twins go on the Forerunner structure.

A Trooper carefully walked towards the monitors speaking in latin with Michel, helmetless, behind him. Michel's white skin and pinkish violet eyes made him look like a ghost. The Trooper carefully explained that Michel is of Forerunner origin and that he has come with the Flood and the Covenant intruders. He also explained that a Forerunner would soon arrive to over see this.

That much is true... Michel wondered what they would do. Accept them as allies or kill him there by not accepting his mother's plea for knowledge and ruining his promise.

Lucy poped her head up. She senced... another. The project that she replaced... Fenix. Being curious she slipped away from her escort and decided to go and meet her "brother". She never had one and maybe just maybe Fenix could be her brother. Then again she wanted Michel. A Juggernaught followed her just incase this was a trap.

"This is ODST Sniper Iota One and I have assesed the battle situation. A message from Special Operations Commander Kwas 'Pudmee has revealed a rebel presence in the archive. Not only that but there was a squad of ODSTs that went missing earlier most likely caused by flood or sentinal forces. The best move is to eliminate the flood presence. Then continue with the rescue mission. The rebels do not seem to pose much of a threat but I advise you to destroy any UNSC or Covenant Separatist vessels that are not registered in the taskforce. I also suggest that we move our forces to the location where the Sangehili have made a base camp. After the rescue mission is completed I suggest that we destroy the area with a Nova Bomb. This message has been encoded through Eternity Code Alpha and sent to all UNSC frquencies. Iota One. Out."

"You Ranger fo and scout out the area and report back ot me. There are UNSC reinforcemetns on the way to help strenghtne the position but I want more information on the area. We lost contact with a Special Operations scout in a certain location. Find him." Ordered Ship Master 'Twassee to a ranger.

The ranger was on the move when he got an uneasy feeling as he headed to the last known location of the scout. When he got to the area he suddenly saw him, but the scout was know a Brain Form. "Sir the scout has been turned inot a flood brain form. I am engaging now." Siad the ranger over the Comm to the main force but before he could go any further he was attacked by an endless wave of infection forms. he desperatly fired into their ranks but he was soon taken over. "So 'Twassee now knows where I am. I now know that there are other biengs after me. I shall prepare my forces and assimilate them wether they say they are flood or not!"

"Nice plan..." a voice said to the Brain Form,"I hope you understand this but they are planning to bomb this place with a NOVA bomb... Oh! Forgive me from introducing my self. I am Madaline Asura or Mimi-O007. I want to help you because we're both stuck in this. You die, and we lose a valuable realasate. Cooperate and we wont have your own minions turn on you.

Juggernaughts appeared behind her as well as her imperial legion. She had enough troops to destroy the Flood if they act up and enough to overwhelm the former sangheili.

"Where do you stand?" Mimi asked.

Imperial Forces openly engaged UNSC forces with heavy support. Soon Scarabs were brought in and the Fleet of HIM Lysira began to dig in. Michel's AI began to jam all communication on all other factions. The Negociator and Michel waited for the Monitors' anserw. If they said no the two would be destroyed and the 06 Monitor would be brought in.

Hepner looked at the Comm officer who always seemed to mess up his station. He had said that someone had jammed the comm and that Lysira wanted to speak to him.

"Sir... we could leave. Reims is out numbered now and... If we go back now we could say we broke from her grasp and --"

"NO! I found my children... They were taken away from me and now I found them... And who used them? Who almost got them killed?! Lysira kept her promise and I intend to keep mine!" He looked at Reims. "Keep in the middle... Also get me a pelican. I want to go to the flagship.

''On surface of The Archive. One hour after first sightings of ships.''

"God damnit!" Fregol muttered to himself, shooting down twelve aerial forms with well placed sniper shots; they had no real skeletal structure, for light weight, and so a certain bullet in a certain place would collapse the creature entirely.

"Calm your nerves, these beasts serve us no real chal-" 'Evrolomee started, but then he saw what waited up ahead; it was what seemed like an ARMY of Juggernaughts, and behind them, innumerable swarms of Infection Forms.

'Evrolomee duel wielded the 'Blade of the Prophets' and another energy sword, and charged into battle, a various assortment of battle-hardened marines and Seperatist forces behind him.

''On surface of The Archive. 12 minutes before.''

The Monitor suddenly turned serious, gathering data from a fallen soldier that had opened fire on his Sentinels.

His inisgnia said Dragon Imperial Trooper, and his various data files gave 117649 Annihilative Repentance much knowledge of this Empire, and its strange leader; Lysira Sarris, as well as the Human project named Lucy.

He muttered various things in Forerunner dialect, too detailed and utterly complex for any race; even the Reclaimers or the Covenant, to understand. "Captains in front..." Repentance said quietly, and a long row of Sentinel Captains lined up in front of the main bulk of mechanical death machines. "We are paying a small visit to this, Miss Sarris..."

''In unoccupied region of space, near The Archive. Undetectable by sensors. Same time.''

He gently glided through the inky black; half frozen, half charred, thirsting for vengeance.

It was an odd sensation, being both burned and frozen at the same time, in the same area, but he put off the pain; once his mindless spores entered the ventilation system of any ship, all new Flood would be under his control; as well as any that ventured within a 23 kilometer radius of his eminence.

Then he spotted a frigate, seperated from the rest of the battling Fleets, and gladly latched onto it.

The Flood spores spilled into the ship, killing all those that were unsuitable immediately, and infecting the rest. His massive tentacles wrapped around the ship, and deep within the very core, his long lost head was reformed out of spores and dead bodies; he was returned from the Grave, once again... -Monitor of Installation-07 5:58 PM, May 16th, 2007

In a small and insignificant hibernation cell in the bowels of the Covenant destroyer CDS Blade of Dawn, the Major Vensar 'Fenijee snapped his eyes open with a barely perceptible shiver. Not that he was cold; the Blade ' s hibernation cells were pleasant warm. It was merely the fact that hibernation always gave him extremely strange dreams. This dream had been about a frigate--Rise of Darkness, it seemed to be, although his dream was not clear enough to be sure--falling swiftly and horribly under the control of...something. An enemy, but his mind was too vague from the sleep to recall. He closed his eyes, trying to hold in the memories, but the chipper, professional voice of Aiya, the ship's AI, cut into his thoughts, crushing the memory forever.

"I trust you have arisen sufficiently to hear what I have to tell you, Half-Commander."

Swinging his legs over the edge of the hibernation bed, 'Fenijee gingerly let his armored hooves touch the floor. Brushing the dust off his resplendant crimson armor, he stood. "Of course, Adjutant."

"Do not go outside," the construct admonished him sharply. "I will speak with you."

Surprised, 'Fenijee sat back down. It was unusual for a ship's AI to be so firm with a Half-Commander, but not unheard-of. Perhaps there was a dangerous situation. But if so, why had he not been summoned to the bridge after waking? What did the AI want to say?

"There was," the clear, emotionless voice of the AI stated, "an occurrence of some disturbing importance within the Fleet this morning."

'Fenijee was not unduly surprised. By his chronometer, he had been awoken nearly two full cycles ahead of schedule. Something important had to be happening.

"One of the frigates in this very fleet suddenly dropped out of contact with Crushing Might this morning," Aiya said flatly. "Although it was a routine position check, they did not respond to any hails. As is standard procedure, three Lances of Operatives were ferried over to the frigate in order to secure any situation. They informed Crushing Might that they had found the ship's landing bays blocked by energy shielding, then their Phantom dropped out of contact also. Being the closest ship to the frigate, Blade of Dawn was ordered to investigate."

"And?" 'Fenijee asked. Most constructs were rather pompous, but this one was unusually bad. Its endless posturing and review were worse than anything Ship Master 'Nurupuee could have come up with.

"And we had barely gotten within sensor range when the frigate launched plasma torpedoes and burned out the plasma direction coils. Ship Master 'Nurupuee was so surprised by the attack that he did not order shields up. The second volley crippled our engines; the third was specifically aimed for the primary command center, where 'Nurupuee was officiating. He, and all additional personnel within three hundred units of him, were flash-burned to death," the construct said calmly.

"Who is in command, then?" 'Fenijee asked breathlessly. "Was Subcommander 'Nguniyee at the secondary command center?"

"Yes, he was," the AI said.

"Was?" 'Fenijee asked, barely daring to hear the construct's answer.

"Was," the AI said, "until I turned off life-support to all sectors just under ten units ago. The whole ship was devoid of atmosphere for several units, until I judged that 'Nguniyee and all other personnel of the command crew were dead. I did not, at the time, anticipate that the on-duty shift of Unggoy and any personnel in hibernation would survive. As it was, most of the Unggoy froze to death before I re-established heating."

"Why?" the Major asked.

The AI was unable to manifest in the cell, where there was no holotank, but he was certainly smiling, wherever he was. "Because the Flood were on that frigate, Major. Their infested dropships entered through hull-breaches under two units ago, and they are currently attempting to locate the secondary command center."

"And you feared they would infest this ship?"

"They have no need to, Major. And if they did, they would not. After all, you are here to stop them."

"Me?"

"I think it is always best to give one's enemies a fighting chance."

The speaker clicked off. The Major was left alone. Who does the construct think I am? he wondered furiously. A Forerunner?

No matter. He had to get out of here and find some way to get word to Councilor 'Kodumee.

And to do that, he was headed the same way as the Flood were.

This was shaping up to be a bad, bad day.

"Freeze UNSC scum!" Yelled an Imperial Shock Trooper to Iota One. However before the trooper could say anything else Iota One shoved the bayonet attached to his S2 AM Sniper Rifle into the trooper's chest and turned it until there was a hole for the rifle's barrel to stick through. The other trooper's lifted their weapons as if ready to fight back but Iota One shot two of them in the head with the sniper rifle. The last trooper watched as his teamates were bleeding out of their heads and the area littered with what was their brains. He tried to run but Iota One shot him in the leg followed by a shot to the head. He reloaded and moved on. four more troopers where in the next hallway but Iota One slung his sniper rifle, pulled out a combat knife, and jabbed it into the main artery in the first trooper's neck. The remainig troopers fired their rifles only to have them shoot nothing. Iota One had dissapeared. Then a fragmentation grenade blew the three troopers into oblivion.

Iota One continued down the hallway until he went a through some doors only to find four more troopers waiting for him. He pulled out a second combat knife and threw it staight into the first trooper's pressure point on his neck. Iota One then pulled out a K7 Caseless Sub-Machine Gun and shot the remaining troopers with it. He reloaded only to look up and find a flood juggernaut charging towards him. The juggernaut sent him flying with one shot of its tentacles. Iota One smiled as he took cover and detonated a LOTUS anti-tank mine that he secretly placed on the juggernaut before he went flying. The juggernaut was so badly ripped apart that it could not be put back together. Iota One was unharmed because underneath his ODST armour there was a Dragon Skin combat vest. Iota One pondered if he should reclassify the rebels as a threat. He would not since he was an Ioda and no rebel force could ever defeat him in ground combat.

'Pudmee was on the move. He just performed a guerrila strike on a patrolling flood squad. They had been caught now but they had all the information that they needed for they had dowmloaded the Archive blueprints onto a crystal. The UNSC and Separatist forces could now move anywhere in the Archive and now had all the strategic defensive locations. They would surely kill all of the flood.

"Contact! ODST!" a Shock Trooper yelled." Chase him down!"

A Lekgolo pair and ten sangehili and Shock Troopers chased after Iota One firing at him.

"He has J's vest... get me the damn tracking device see where J's vest is heading!" a Captain yelled.

"Yes sir! Tell the others to keep up the pursuit. Get a Phantom to ambush him ... here! Go!"

With that said a pelican and a Phantom were deployed.

"General Strike is landing soon and then The Empress till tehn her heirs are to be protected inside the city. Tell Kunzite he could stop playing wolf and nuke the ''Spitfire whenever he wishes." The Commander said.

Kunzite got the messege a secodn ago and refused to attack fellow UNSC soldiers and he and his crew were thrown into the brig since Reims can not kill them without word from his mistress. Imoperial Cadets took over as well as Unggoy.

"You Unggoy! Prepare to fire this ship's weapons... Make it look like we captured the ship's AI and command crew. That should make them send soemone to rescure Kunzite no? He is ONI after all..." he said.

"Only if you shut up! Me not of Holy Covenant anymore liek you! We rank the same!" the Unggoy replied.

"Ey! Just do it mate! I cna't put up with your constant bickery!" a ensign said.

SPARTAN-091 awoke with a start. Where am I? he mused silently. His surroundings were somewhat familiar to him, in a dream-like way... Then he remembered. He was in a cryotube aboard the UNSC Spitfire. He flexed his stiffened muscles, holding back a twinge of pain that struck him. Oh, how he hated cryogenics! He pushed at the lid of his tube, and with a hiss of compressed air, it slid open gently. He got out slowly, his joints popping as they were brought back into use for the first time in two weeks. With a cough, the foul-tasting cryo fluid flew from his throat to his mouth. Jared forced himself to swallow, gagging as he did. Then he looked around. At the foot of the cryotube was an equipment locker with his armor inside of it. Thumbing the biometric lock, the SPARTAN pulled the lid up and removed his Mark-VI MJOLNIR armor. He quickly put it on, setting up its systems as he did. Then he reached back into the locker and withdrew a chip carrying his personal AI, Juliet. This he slid into his helmet, feeling the now-familiar warmth of her presence in his mind.

"Why hello there," she piped up. "It's good to be back! Feeling brutish, as usual, I see?" Jared shook his head in disappointment. She hadn't changed a bit. "Anything happen while I was out?" he inquired.

"Yes, actually. You're to report to Hangar B as soon as you are awake. And dressed, I suppose," she added.

Iota One was in trouble. A large rebel force was chasing him and he was out of ammo made to take Lekglo. Then as if out of nowhere an ammunition pod dropped from space. Iota One opened it. Inside he found an M8A5C Carbine inside. "Excellent." he thought. A Lekglo charged towards him. Iota One smiled as he flipped of the Safety on the Secondary Fire of the Carbine. The Massive beast charged right into Iota One's fire. The massive creature screamed as the Carbine's RPG hit it shattering it into a thousand pices. Soon more Rebels arrived only to be killed by Iota One.

Finally the last wave of rebels landed. Iota killed all but one of them "Where is your flagship? Tell me and I shall spare your life." Iota One told the Imperial Shock Trooper. "It is a Covenant Super Carrier that we stole in orbit around the Archive. Please let me go now." Siad the Imperial Shock Trooper. Iota One let him go. The rebel started to run away, but Iota One shot him in the back of the head. "Oh yes, I forgot to mention that ONI does not want me to leave any enemies alive." Said Iota One to the now dead Imperial Shock Trooper. Iota One walked back to the Sangehili camp for a briefing on his next objective.

"Admiral! We have found a non-registered vessel the Ice Monarch. Shall I destroy it?" Asked a crew member to Admiral Chow. "No. I think that we should just disable it instead because there could be trapped UNSC forces." Said Admiral Chow. The UNSC Spitfire opened fire with all five of its MAC guns at the Ice Monarch. As the MAC rounds went flying all of the Ice Monarchs MAC guns and Archer Missile pods were diabled.

"This is the commander UNSC Spitfire Fleet Admral Stephen Chow. Ice Monarch surrender now and we shall grant you only ten years in prison and then your record shall be cleared. If you say no I shall have to destroy your ship and you will not be able to fight back." Said Admiral Chow to the Ice Monarch.

"You mistake me for the Ice Monarch 's real commander... I am Reims Vigilamee of the DDragon Empire. Youe ONI friend Admiral Kunzite Gem is my prisoner. Attempt to stop us from rejoining and we will kill him and his command crew!"He growled.

The Ice Monarch retreated since Reims is out numbered. He needed to get to the fleet and tell the Empress the UNSC agenda obtained by Okara, the ship's AI.

This was it. Team Rapier met... well at least three of them... Nikki had made sentinals, Mimi had destroyed any or all Brain forms she had come acroosa dn Flood began to overwhelm them. Their Juggernaughts did their best to protect them and keep tehir renegade counterparts at bey. Michel let Lucty mess with his white hair. He began to recall the events of Installation 06. Thecapture of Ragnos... and when they went back to Serenity. Soon his mother would be here and all will be well. She seemed to find this pklace without even thinking like the installations and other contructs.

"Ma'am... why don't we just oput up auto trrets?" he sujjested.

"I didn't thinkof that... Nikki get on it and find Mahiru and see is she is ok!" she paused and turned too where Rey should have been.

He had died when he questioned Lysira too much. He shouldn't of have so now Yuri-O128 will take his place. Lucy bit into Michel's gauntlent.

"Hey I'm not food! I established that after the first tiem I lost blood!" he said grabing hergently."I'll be back...this thing neds food."

"Grab me something too." she ordered him as he left.

Mimi began to go over reports. She still wondered what the hell a Forerunner was. And Why Michel is part Forerunner. It made no sence... All Forerunner are suppose to be dead.

Mahiryu looked all over the place for Lucy killing any Covenant patrol she came acroos all ghost like. It was easy. She used special needles. Shame she had to be the more sadistic and senceable one of the rouge S-IIIs. Right now she followed a funny looking ball of light. From time to time she tossed a pebble at it. and giggled.

Peeps crawled around with his bomb squad. They searched for the main control center and only found dead ends. Unlike kost grunts Peeps isn't afraid of anything.

''Aboard/part of Frigate; Rise of Darkness. 24 minutes after siezure of the ship.''

"The drums of war sound once more, and not even the Forerunner themselves can stop it..." he muttered, his massive tentacles still tightly wrapped around the Rise of Darkness, and a large bulk of his mass actually part of the ship itself. He had ordered the creation of two watcher forms, so that they could relay his commands; Pefrol and Korhial.

Aerial Forms constantly encircled the ship, and occasionally stopped to devour bits of charred flesh left floating in space. He reached out with his tentacle, and wrapped it around another frigate, UNSC controlled this time, and immediately Infection Forms started crawling onto the tentacle and into the ship.

"Holy hell! Get rid o' those things ASAP!" the Lieutenant said before being utterly mauled, and then used as a pawn. "Fire!" the captain yelled, and a MAC slug tore through the tentacle binding the two ships, but all in vain; by now, multiple other tentacles and taken hold of the ship and had begun fusing. As the last Human screams died out, all that could be heard was silence, utter silence in the dark.

He sensed it, another, trying to take control of his own; this was not permitted. The two frigates, Covenant and UNSC, were both slammed together, a large portion of what used to be metal now turned into organic material. "The Flood are mine, and mine alone... I shall succeed where Gravemind has not..." he rasped, his large booming voice echoing through the night.

''Core of The Archive. In stasis. Same time.''

It shocked him, utterly shocked him, what he was seeing from The Archive's sensors. 39020247 Irremediable Affliction had regained a considerable amount of strength in light of recent events, and he could even now utilize The Archive's systems, although not quite regain control of the Sentinels.

He saw as the merged Bio-ships slowly made their way towards the other ships fighting in orbit around The Archive, although it was improbable, nay, impossible that a Flood Form could have survived the destruction of the Installation. But this was all too real, and unless he could be freed from this Electro-gravitational prison, all would degrade to hell. -Monitor of Installation-07 10:42 PM, May 16th, 2007

Instead of taking a drop pod, the Archaic Memory moved to a hanger that had become under Imperial control. Lysira entered the hanger with her elite guard. The Troopers and hanger hands imdediatly stood at attention as she entered the city.

"I will lead the attack on the covenant camps Field Master..." she whispered.

"By your will great one!" A silver armored sangheili replied.

"I wont run away from my past... I need to find out more..." she said to her self.

"My liege?"

"Hm? Oh... nothing. Prepare your forces."Lyira said avoiding the qurry.

She spotted Michel but he moved deeper into their territory. Her thoughts were interupted as one of her Juggernauts bumped her slightly.

"What is it my friend?" She asked.

Always wondered if the Juggernauts were Forerunner that the Flood consumed or just pure Flood. It made sence. According to her researchers Flood had no real bones. So what were they?

She shook her head and whiped out a beam. She revered engineered the Energy Sword and made an archaic long sword. The hilt it self released it and a magnetic field shaped the blade.

"Your majesty," a commander walked to her."General Strike has entered the system and is ready to provide flanking support. The day will be ours once he get's tose scarabs inside the city." He said

"No... Nothing is easy... I want to destroy this place after I am done learning about my past. Something seems... out of place here... missing..." her voice trailed off as she went deep in thought."No... This place would serve as a colony."

"Yes majesty..." he bowed.

"Also don't fire on the Monitors...

The Lilium came out of slipspace and came into formation with the fleet.

"What is this? We have three times the number of ships when we took that ring world! This is a tactical outrage! No matter I am here and all will be good yes?" an admiral said.

"Not good. If your going to be so smug why don't you just get out there. Find a spot for my Scarabs to deploy old man." a heavily armored man said.

Lysira's forces quietly moved into position surrounding the Covenant camp. Thwo former special op sangheili moved in to scout. One stoped seeing Lysira move in. She instantly began attacking and with that first slash came a hail of fire from her troops as they moved ahead of her.

Mahiru stoped to watch two frigates slam into eachother. What was happening it wasn't Ragnos... His flood began to occupy Imperial parts of the city and had not attacking anything yet.

She yawned and trailed after a marine scout. She gently grabed her toxic combat knife and leaped onto the poor noncom and ripped through his flesh like a hot knife through butter. Blood splattered on her armor and the whole thing mimiced the color.

"I'm getting hungry..."she said to her self.

"Look! I found a demon!"Peeps exclaimed as they swarmed in and cheered.

"We got seperated when we ran into a taller demon..." one of them said.

"Yea with different armor to!" another said.

"OOOH! Where?!" Mahiru said grabing Peeps.

"That way! I show you!" he said.

The SPARTAN squad and the ODSTs enters the hangar, weapons ready to be fired. There was no resistance.

"I think it's..." began an ODST, when he screamed in pain, a glowing energy sword sticking out from behind him.

"Ambush!" yelled another ODST, and the group opened fire at the general direction of the hidden enemy. Elites crumbled to the ground, but took several other ODSTs with them.

"Sweep the area! There's bound to be more!" commanded Lambda Leader, and the group broke in half.

For the next couple of hours, gunshots and energy weapons were fired, and only a few ODSTs remained after the entire hangar bay was cleaned out.

"If there are more, I'm going to start hating this place," muttered Hattie.

Yoshi was unusually silent, watching the gruesome scene.

"間違って何かはか?" Hattie asks in Japanese.

"ええ、" replied Yoshi.

"There's something wrong," Hattie translated for the rest of the survivors.

"We'll have to stay here until further notice then," said Lambda Leader, "but we should notify the fleet that we are 90% sure we have captured a useful hangar bay."

After conversing with Yoshi, Hattie translates that Yoshi would wait before calling, if the enemy was preparing for another attack that would jeopardize incoming ships.

Lambda Leader nods. "We'll wait here then."

Imperial patrols increased due to outbreaks and sentinals. And if that weren't enough UNSC personel breached an area close to the staging area. Bad luck for the bad guys... Even the the Covenant were there. A large company of Imperial troops watched and waited for Lambda Company to finish off the Covenant before firing down on them. Then it got better Tema Knight's escort company jojn which meant 600 imperial troopers would massacre the UNSC scum then join up with her imperial majesty. It's fool proof!

"Now! Fire!" a Captain yelled.

Michel and Lucy were now deep in the Archive. Troopers constantly came here to set up living quarters. Lucy pushed random things on a toy while following Michel. She reminded him of Sigma Three. Not caring about the dangers of the world or anything. He hated her and loved her... even though she nearly killed him. He killed her and left him picking sides. He still has trouble with that. Why did he leave ONI behidn just to folow his leader? To find a better cause? When he was with ONI they sent Alpha and Beta Companies without UNSC support. If the Marines were sent in he had no doubt that they'd survive. They were never mentioned liekt eh S-IIs and that made Omega mad and rebel on their first space op. Only two teams survived.

Lucy threw the toy at his head. He turned to see her face and sighed. She hated to see him sad.

"Ok ok..."he said.

Two Unggoy poked at a cryo tube. A blue armored SPARTAN lay in it encased in a MK 7.it moved slightly.

"Hey it moved!" the leader said.

"Your just seeing things! just turn off the--"

The blue spartan punched a hole in the glass and climbed out. The Unggoy began to open fire on her but it the plasma just splashed her sheild. Shhe grabed oen and slammed it into it's partner.

"This is Sigma Four to any UNSC marines and or naval personel. I am on the Ice Monarch of Fleet Admiral Kunzite Drake Gem transmitting codded ID to any ONI personel listening. Need a report." Ocean said.

She wasn't one for sliping up or waiting and if covenant on the Monarch ment no UNSC presence then she had to get to the enarest fleet and tell them about everything and what needed to be done. She checked the TEAMBIO. Zack, Jaggers, and Riku's status was missing... She checked again and their lifeisigns were flatlined. She picked up some Plasma Grenades and the Grunts' Plasma Pistols and prepared to clean up the ship.

"This is Sigma Four to anyone who can here me. I am on the Ice Monarch, requesting assisstence! Lilium do you read? Captain Stukov?" She said again

Ocean checked the all frequencies and found oen active with alot of chatter and repeated the assistence messege and taged as high prority objective.

''CDS Blade of Dawn, Secondary Command Center. 5th Cycle, 32nd Unit''

Vensar's eyes moved slowly around the room, taking in every detail. There were six Sangheili corpses lying on the floor. All were discolored; slowly, the frozen saliva surrounding their gaping mouths was melting. A grotesque little demonstration of phase change at work. Something, Vensar realized, is not right.

A moment later, he realized what was wrong--something so laughably simple he wondered how he had missed it in the first place. There was no trace of a Flood infestation. He had seen blobs of Flood material all around the path he had taken to the armory, and when he got there, all the weapons had been taken, with the exception of a lone plasma rifle which had been kicked under a crate in the confusion of the Flood looting the place. But his route to the bridge had been free of the loathsome tannish growths that were plaguing the ship. So, for that matter, was the bridge itself.

How odd.

The Major looked around the bridge. His bridge, he decided. He was, in all probability, the highest-ranking officer left alive. The command crew here had included two Zealots and four Majors, all but one above him in rank. He was quite probably acting Ship Master of Blade of Dawn.

At least he still had part of the ship to call his own. He took three steps forward, and at least two dozen Combat Forms dropped from the ceiling with horrible, liquid war-cries. Vensar raised his single plasma rifle and exhaled. Ship Master, maybe, but not for long.

Then, suddenly, amazingly, the Combat Forms lowered their various weapons. The closest one, something that had once been an Ultra, gave a chittering growl and sank into an off-balance crouch that was unmistakably a bow.

As though it was inside his head, Vensar heard a voice. "Welcome to Blade of Dawn, Ship Master. What are your orders?"

Ocean made her to the armory and grabed the gear she left behind. She stoped to pick up Riku's katana and paused. She felt like crying but held it in.

"I'm sorry guys..."she wanted to die with them but she had to reinforce the marines.

She checked her MA5C and slid a clip into it. She then left under veil of her active camo. She wanted revenge now. She began to take guards down at random without anyone else noticing until most of the ship became empty.

The Imperial Fleet moved into position to attack the UNSC Fleet. With a mix of UNSC and Covenant ships they had the advantage. The Archaic Memory and Ragnorok already landed but could still fire and support their flanks. Easy pickings no? They had to destroy the Ice Monarch before anone decides to rescure it's crew and recover it's records and AI as well as the ONI Spartan.

"Contact command! Tell them we got SPARTANs in Hanger 7! Get some Lekgolo to cave in the halls let those squads die... It's better to lose 40 men then then two companies..." A commander said.

The Lekgolo came sooner than expected and began blowing up doorways to cut off Lambda squad from getting the hanger with a straight line to the staging areas.

"Sir, they're cutting us off!" shouted a ODST as a nearby exit exploded. This was succeeded by more explosions, cutting off all means of escape.

"Bring 'em!" said Dave, snapping his SMG up, cocking it swiftly.

Fire from multiple angles rained down upon the small group. The remaining ODSTs were quickly cut down, but the SPARTANs managed to get behind fallen pillars and large debris.

"This is Lambda Leader at a hangar bay found at sent coordinates. We'd appreciate it if someone friendly stops by," said Lambda Leader, a hand to his radio transmitter.

The team leader cocks his sniper rifle, scans the area, and quickly puts a bullet into a hidden enemy's head. He couldn't tell exactly who he shot, but there's a good chance it was a Jackal.

''On The Archive. Making way to core. TIME ERROR''

'Ledelonee lifted the fallen Imperial Trooper's head off the ground, then threw it back down in disgust. "These warriors are highly disciplined, to say the least" he noted, getting in the driver's seat of a Spectre with 'Evrolomee in the side and Fregol in the back, Coed closely following in a banshee.

"No idea who these guys are, they have Covenant and Humans, but they have different armor and logos" Fregol stated, "We can only guess who they are son, but for now we have to classify them as enemies" Coed answered hastily, launching a hail of plasma at approaching combat forms, burning their flesh.

"A crashed UNSC ship?" Coed muttered curiously, "Lagedon, tell me about that ship now" he said through the COM. "Captain, I have accessed its systems; there's another A.I. in there" Lagedon replied, "Just tell me when it came here" Coed said, ignoring the fact, "It crashed here in 2543 sir" the A.I. answered.

It seemed impossible to Coed, that a ship could crash here so long ago... "Is it usable?" Fregol asked this time, and was answered by a satisfactory "Yes". If this ship was fully active, they had a better chance at surviving this god-forsaken war.

''Coming close to Supercarrier; Archaic Memory. TIME ERROR.''

117649 Annihilative Repentance floated closer towards the Supercarrier, getting ready to greet the enigmatic Miss Sarris. Strangely enough, the Dragon Imperial Troopers did not attack, they instead only kept guard and glanced at him.

He reached the entrance into the ship, and a few guards were stationed. The Monitor simply ignored them and moved inside with his Sentinels; now to him it seemed that their 'Empress' had ordered not to attack him. He looked forward to meeting this mysterious woman, and engage her in a battle of wits.

''Aboard/part of Frigates; Rise of Darkness and Latium. Undetectable by Sensors. TIME ERROR''

The Flood controlled Bio-ships made their way slowly but steadily towards the Imperial Fleet, and the source of this mysterious other. He sensed it, a Command Form held captive, and some Human experiment, both with power over the Flood; but his will was stronger...

The two watcher forms continued issuing orders to minor Flood forms, continually burrowing into and out of the organic metal. The interiors of both ships were strange; slime coated the strange organic flesh-like metal, swarms of Flood passed through the various halls and decks, and travelled between the ships. The exterior was no better; you could see the tentacles wrapped/fused around the joined frigates, and swarms of Aerial Forms flew around them.

In due time, this Human experiment would be stripped of its ability to control the Flood, and the other Command Form, it would be freed, and assimilated. Soon, The Archive, and the universe, would belong to the Flood...

''Core of The Archive. In stasis. TIME ERROR''

39020247 Irremediable Affliction could sense it, the old, ancient Forerunner mechanics activating. Something, or someone, was tampering with them; time portals from various periods were opening up, causing time anomolies, and many other things were taking place.

If this was not taken care of soon, The Archive itself could very literally be torn apart by the sheer force and power of these temporal rifts.

Vensar never understood exactly how or why he suddenly had a shipful of Parasites at his command, but abruptly, he did. They were all working for him. They did not flinch from any order; they understood and acknowledged everything. They were the perfect crew; an unstoppable juggernaut which had no rival. Except, of course, the Flood themselves.

The first thing Vensar had ordered his executive officer--the remains of the Ultra Iyin 'Jnunqee--was to scan Rise of Darkness. The Flood-Sangheili creature's analysis was not conclusive. It could tell that something was on the ship--or, as it put it, something was the ship--but aside from that, the only clear detail was that some strange organic matter was connecting Rise of Darkness to a human ship, Class J-4.

After that, he'd tried to repair all the systems, with fairly complete success. 'Jnunqee seemed to be in local control of the Flood, giving Vensar adecent amount of control. He was shaping up to make a good Ship Master. All he needed was gold armor.

At present, the gold armor of Subfleet Master Belisarius of the Covenant was uncomfortably warm under the beetling heat of CCS Hunter's Hand. He offered a quick prayer to the patron saint of the void, hoping that his sensors had malfunctioned.

They hadn't.

The Separatist ship Blade of Dawn was swarming with Flood. It was also moving straight towards them.

Well, this settled it.

Time to fight.

"Severius!" he barked to the Weapons Officer. "I require plasma torpedoes at command. Cassius! You have tactical control of helm; assault patterns Besha through Yenra are cleared for your use. Defense Officer Eleusus! Launch no fighters. Point defense and pulse lasers only. If any single-man fighters approach, I wish them destroyed with the utmost efficiency and speed. Machinist Epimetheus! Divide power between engines, weapons, and shields. All non-essentials offline, is that clear?"

He waited for the four affirmative answers to come through. A few seconds later, Eleusus' gruff voice rang over the ship speakers. "All on board, combat positions! Rouse Captain Gabalus; have him muster the ship guard and ground forces!"

Almost simultaneously, Severius interrupted, turning to Belisarius. "Plasma torpedoes ready, excellency."

Belisarius nodded. "Target the infidels on Blade of Dawn. Engines first. Then weapons. We don't want to kill them right away."

On Blade of Dawn ' s secondary command center, Vensar smiled a smile that the human angel of death would have been proud of.

"You were right, 'Jnunqee," he acknowledged. "You have strategic control. Attack when ready."

Space was divided by blue lines. Flaring and sputtering in the vacuum, plasma torpedoes streaked towards each other. Covenant Destroyer versus Covenant Battlecruiser. One under the command of a lone Sangheili with a few thousand inexplicable Flood minions. One under the command of a zealous, commended Jiralhanae officer.

It was going to be close.

The lines that split space became bridges. Two ships connected by infinitesimal lines of superheated heptane.

The Covenant Civil War was once more joined.

"Now, bring up him online," Fleet Admiral Stephen Chow ordered

"MIL AI 2430 online," A dark robed humaniod avatar appeared on holotank 2 "Sir, I prefer being online before we exit slipspace, not a few hours after."

"Give me the postion of our fleet, the forerunner structure, Covenant fleets and that rag-tag "other" fleet" The Admiral ordered obviously ignoring the AIs last comment.

"Aye,sir" the AI replied. Numerous blips appeared on the TACMAP, showing 6 distinct groups, all filling the vacuum between them with super-hot metal slugs and bright illumination. The Fleet Admiral frowned, in deep thought. "Something wrong,sir?" Will piqed up.

Aboard Assault Carrier; Eternal Peace.

Lagedon appeared on his holo-pad, his untidy hair glistening green. "What do you need, Lt. Evlen?" he asked, the Lt. walked over to him, and stuck his one hand in his pocket. "I'm just worried about the others that went on the construct" he replied, staring out at fields of war, "They're fine, Lieutenant" Lagedon said, and Evlen calmed down, and walked out the door.

MIL AI 639-2 had an easy time for the most part, until they were hailed by a UNSC Supercarrier; it classified as the Spitfire. Lagedon created various sub-routines to keep the ship going, and the passengers alive, and he transferred himself into the Spitfire via the COM systems.

Within broken down systems of UNSC Juggernaught.

Agildor sighed, his fractured voice splitting off rather quickly. "Sustain la-life supa-port syst-tems..." he repeated for perhaps the 956th time in two days; he still was following the commands of his long deceased captain.

"F-f-ailure ta-to c-comp-pens-sate... Lack of pow-power..." the AI said again, his oddly distorted, broken up image flickering in the old rusty holo-pad.

"Intru-rud-ders..." his voice sounded through the old dead passageways of the Juggernaught as the survivors of Installation-07 made their way into the broken ship.

''Aboard/part of frigates; Rise of Darkness and Latium. Undetectable by sensors.''

His great tentacles grabbed yet another ship; a carrier this time, and began merging to it, Flood walked through the vacuum on the tentacles and entered the ship, infecting all on board. The carrier was pulled towards the other two frigates, and became the organic base to an oddly shaped trio of Bio-ships.

"The drakes shall not be the first to fall..." he whispered, and the trio turned towards the Blade of Dawn and fired numerous drop pods at the ship. They were not used as weapons, no, but rather, a means of infecting the crew of that ship as well, so that he could assimilate it into his new form.

Strange it was though, that he sensed Flood onboard that were not under his control; this would soon be ammended...

The Archive shook greatly, visible portals through time itself seen from space. The rifts were dissipating, but great tremors shook the massive platform every now and then; it was in danger.

The Imperial Fleet surrounded the Ragnorok and began firing on any approaching vessel that wasn't a part of the Dragon Empire. The ''Ragnorok itself headed towads an Imperial controlled hanger. Ragnos senced a command form near by.

"Soldier... what is happening...?" the gravemind asked it's guard.

"Nothing much lord Ragnos. The enemy is approaching and we brough more dead for you to assimmilate." a trooper said.

"Hmm... When will exactly be inside the Archive...?" it asked.

"Not long sir." he replied

Lysira continued to attack the covenant seps. Her legion, Serpentarius, are aong the finest of her empire and never failed her once. Two black clad soldiers followed her as she slaughtered the opposition. This place will ber heres even f it kills her.

Ocean cleared out most of the ship. Now she just had the brig and the bridge... She crept slowly up to the door panel of the brig and peered around the corner to see how many guards there were. She spotted a lone S-III. Seth if she could remember it right. The Flood guy who slaughtered Jaggers and ripped Zack's arm off. Then she saw her. Riku in one of the cells with a bunch of marines. If she could get them out they could make a run to the hanger steel a couple if pelicans and escape to... some where...

"Hey dumbass in the chair." she came around the corner and sprayed down an empty chair.

"You should know how I work human..." Seth said punching Ocean into the brig area.

"Damn..." she said pulling out a plasma grenade.

She tossed it at a control pannel and the cells sli open. The crew and marines instantly ran to grab something to protect one another.

"Where that freak go?!" a marine yelled.

Riku walked to Ocean and grabed her katana from Ocean."What took you?" she asked.

"I was having a good dream till the ship's AI woke me up. She'll arm the self destruct sequence in another five min.. We gotta get out of here." she replied to her squad mate.

"Self destruct?! Are you crazy? This carrier has enough nukes to blow a hole in a moon! Okara! Move the ship!! Or at least jetison the nukes!" Kunzite said limping into the middle of the crowd wth Hepner's help.

"Yes Admiral. Seth is escapng via life boat to the Archive. You better do the same. I'll give you all a clear path... Good-bye." The AI said.

Without anoher word they made there way to the hanger stole four pelicans with light resistence and headed toward the Sptfire with all haste.

"This is Fleet Admiral Kunzite Gem! Stay clear of the Ice Monarch! I repeat! STAND CLEAR OF THE ICE MONARCH!!" he yelled as the four pelicans headed to the Spitfire.

The Imperials left inside Hanger 7 kept up their relentless attack on Lambda squad and their ODST. Being cut off from their company due to the cave in off the the door ways leading out the hanger itself had become useless. Left with no other option but surender they continued to fire until there was no fight left within them.

As if their desperation for backup called them, two Phantoms and a pelican arrived droping of the elite fot he imperial forces, Shock Troopers.

"Attention SPARTANs and UNSC personel! Your vastly out numbered and out matched! Surrender now and you will be spared by her imperial majesty her self!" a voice said.

"There... behind the pillars sir." a Shock Trooper said pointing with his MA5C.

"Iota One. Repoeting." Said Iota One to the gold armoured elite at the camp. "I am Ship Master Masu 'Twassee. Your Admiral had given me orders that are to be relayed to you. You are to travel to the last known location of the moniter of the Archive. if you can free him we may get the sentinals on our side." Relpied 'Twassee. Iota One grabbed a flamethrower and four spare canisters. He then grabbed an MA5C Assault Rifle and went tp his mission objective.

"Order the UNSC Arizona to drop down the reinforcemetns to hanger seven of the archive." Ordered Admiral Chow to his troops. "Sir! Incoming dropships from the Ice Monarch. It seems to be the UNSC personell." Said the radar operator. "Open the hangars and let them in. Then send the 405th to Hangar seven as well. If they can get there then no rebel force can win." Replied the Admiral. "Yessir." The Crew said simultaneously.

The frigate, Bloody Heart moved into a defence position infrotn of Hanger 7 with heavy support from longswords and it's own seraphs. If that wasn't enough, General Strike's Lilium hovered near by. The Empress her self headed toward the caved in section of Hanger 7 clearing out the debris at an alarming rate. When it cleard she walked in as if with no effort at all.

"Commander lock and seal the doors to this hanger." she said as her elite troops entered.

She walked to where Lambda squad were last. Her purple eyes shifted and a block pulled up from the ground. She sat on it fixing her robe.

"Your cyborgs as well? My two children were normal once... like you all were. They deiced one... when they were due in this world that they had a unique genetic structure that no one else had. They took me when I was at my door and away from my husband who pursued them with all haste. They cut his eyes out and threw him in prison... my children are back in my arms now and I wont give tehm up. I have those ONI fools you are looking for as well. One any way.. The others are on their way to teh Ragnorok. This hanger here is the only one that is not under my complete control. Give up now mes ami." she said.

With that said she strolled away singing Lillium.

Kunzite ran straight to the Spitfire's bridge.

"Stop! These are no rebels! They think and act differently! What are seing is the result of one woman's hatred for the entire UNSC forces! My original fleet was sent to capture her, and the rouge spartans of Omega Company! They decimated my entire fleet at Installation 06 and they know everything now. They have the Flood not to mention alot of Covenant Heretics! If you have any sence let this Lambda squad do what they are trained to do!" He said.

Ocean came up behind her father with Lt. Hepner. Ocean walked to Admiral Chow as Riku came up. She took her helmet off and stared at the admiral with her icy blue eyes.

"Sir I'm getting bored and need something to do. I need a heavily armored dropship and I'll get your boys out of there. No sence of waiting spartans when they are all waiting to get tehm. If you could provide a good distraction this plan of mine might work." she said.

"I'll come with you. I need something more solid than a ship under my feet Ozzy." Riku said as she pulled her katana out and slid it back into it's sheath.

Michel and Lucy foudn a strange room with a monitor in it.

"Lucy go back down the tunnel and get the sarge for me. I want some boys here to secure the area." he said pushing her lightly.

Lucy pouted and ran back. Michel looked at the monitor. "How do I get you out?" he asked it.

Iota One walked forward. His objective location was just beyond the regiment of rebel soldiers. he noticed that they had many grunts in their ranks. Excellent. That would just make the entire regiment easier to kill. He pulled out the flamethrower and walked towards them. One of the grunts looked up but befroe he could react Iota One fired his flamethrower. The grunts methane packs ignited and flames arced throug their ranks. Imperial Shock Trooper, grunts, elites, and hunter were all engulfed in the firestorm. he looked through there was one elite left who was quickly killed by Iota One's blade. "Come on let's keep moving." He told the lance of Special Operations elites that were right behind him as they moved on. He found an Imperial SHock Trooper still alive. "What were you guarding here?" Demmanded Iota One. "Like I'll tell you!" Yelled the Imperial Shock Trooper before Iota One slcied his head off. Whatever the regimetn had been guarding here it was important.

In core of The Archive.

39020247 Irremediable Affliction strained to keep the two beings in his sight; one was a reclaimer, he was sure of that, but the other... it had a strange Flood feeling about it.

When the Reclaimer asked how it could get him out, he twitched slightly towards a nearby console, and a code flashed across a screen on the ceiling. Hopefully, they had been looking.

Aboard supercarrier; Archaic Memory.

117649 Annihilative Repentance floated through the halls of the vast supercarrier, Sentinels right behind him, and the soldiers continuing to ignore their instinct to shoot. "How I wonder where this 'Empress' is..." he sighed, zipping in a loop; bored.

He accessed a nearby console, and a crackling sphere of electricity appeared between the two, gathering data from the console and giving it to the Monitor. "What a colorful history..." he exclaimed, and glided off in search of Lysira Sarris.

Time is a strange thing indeed; if you go back, then even the slightest thing may alter your future drastically. As of December 10th, 2552, time was null and void; it was a missing variable in the equation that is reality. Because of this missing value, all had been thrown into disarray, and what had stood the test of time for countless millenia, was now crumbling apart, and the only thing that could stop it was currently searching for the Empress of the Dragon Empire...

As Lucy came back with a platoon they watched as Michel instantly tapped a flurry of commands on a strange console. Strange symbols popped up and he just tapped and tapped until he heard the monitor fall onto the floor.

The soldiers were amazed by this. Lucy instantly picked up the Monitor and held it. Michel still messed around witht eh forerunner computer until he learned everything... He stopped and turned to the monitor.

"We need your help." he said walking towards it."My mother is a Forerunner and she's looking for answers of her past here".

The Troopers began setting up another command post in the room with two lekgolo pairs and Shock Troopers. One Elite Guard patroled the area protecting Lucy and Michel incase something was here.

Seth's pod landed in an uncontrolled hanger. He felt a tugging sensation as Floodlings came to his side. Ragnos was here... in pain due the stress from the Imperials. He needed to find Lucy and kill off the gravemind. Only she can control him and everything else that is Flood.

"No need to search anymore...." Lysira said in a whisper.

She came up behind the purple monitor and tapped a command that locked him out of the ship's network.

"I'm glad I have your attention... But we both have three problems no? The Hivemind... the meddlers... my gravemind. I will lose control of it and Lucy will no be prepared to handle such a large scale of minions." she said. "My forefathers gave me a gift and gave me this body... I was naive at first happy due to my pregnancy... now... now I am more confused than before. I need your help as well as the other Monitor. The Flood must be erradicated swiftly. If we move into the Archive I can show you alot..." she offered.

Everything is set. Betraying her pet Gravemind and manipulating her vast Empire... and all for the sake of vengence and truth.

"Annihilative Repentance is it? I have a feeling we'll be best friends..." she said with a small chuckle. She turned her hand and reopened access for the monitor.

On supercarrier; Archaic Memory.

The Monitor felt a block between him and the console, and he sensed a woman behind him. She asked questions, asking for aid, insisting she was a Forerunner; it was possible, although he was not sure if he could trust the Forerunners after he accessed the data on The Archive.

"It is possible that I could aid you, and I have seen that your friends have released Irremediable Affliction from stasis. The Hivemind, and Ragnos? I have a way of taking care of them..." he announced, turning around and focusing his purple-glowing mechanical eye.

"As for being friends, that could be arranged..." he said, and the console became available once more. Although, he had a feeling that he didn't need much more information... what he had planned for many centuries was about to unfold, and this Lysira Sarris would soon be key to its success.

Aboard/part of Rise of Darkness, Latium, and Exempt Incompetence.

The Hivemind spread its tentacles and crashed the trio of Bio-ships onto The Archive; he would manifest himself. "The drakes are nothing to my might, the Flood are mine to control..." he said as he crashed, flames dissipating into the artificial air.

His vile tendrils spread throughout the knooks and crannys of the platform, taking root and transforming the crumbling structure into a living Flood Form...

''Core of The Archive. Freed from stasis.''

39020247 Irremediable Affliction felt the field of stasis dissipate, and he dropped to the floor with a heavy metal Clonk!. His gravitational systems were rebooting, and a girl picked him up.

He waited for his systems to start up, as soldiers blockaded the area and made a base. He saw a Reclaimer extract much knowledge from The Archive's database, though still not the entirety; it was far too much for anything but a Monitor to fully understand, even the Forerunners could not. This Reclaimer's mind, and everyone else's who had seen data from The Archive, would have to be purged in the near future...

Secured UNSC Beach-head, 1 HR after Iota One's contacts

"What in...!" SPARTAN-091 exclaimed. He stood on a newly-cleared UNSC beach-head, the water lapping at his titanium-alloy combat boots. On the beach lay Human casualties. And they were not in UNSC uniform. He knelt next to a fallen trooper and examined the strange patch on his shoulder. It featured a dragon... dragon, dragon...

Jared went through the list of known rebel groups in his head. Shogun Freedom Front, Imperium Rebellion, no... oh, yes. The Dragon Empire. A motley band of Heretic Covenant, pirates, rebels and all-around space scum. He shook his head. The one major threat to the UNSC. And it had to come here, of all places! The SPARTAN swore under his breath. He hated rebels. Ever since a group had killed his instructor, CPO Tso, he had vowed to kill as many as he could, mission permitting.

"Hey there," Juliet whispered. "Keep your mind on the mission."

"Right," Jared replied, stepping away from the Imperial. He gave the corpse a vicious kick. Rot in hell, murderer! he thought as he made his way to the C.P.

The ODST Major's eyes widened as he saw the SPARTAN approaching. He did a quick check on the super-soldier's rank and greeted him warmly. "Hey, Chief. Good to see you."

Jared nodded. "Anything you need help with, sir?"

"Nope, we've got about all of this beach cleaned up. We could use you at the front, though. We're closing in on a structure called 'The Archive'. Our boys and girls are running into a lot of Covenant and Empire resistance, however. We need to get in there and secure the Archive's contents before the other two factions get to it. We've got a Pelican waiting for you." The officer gestured to the hovering dropship. "Good luck, Chief!" --- The Archive, a half-hour later

Jared was dropped down at the frontlines of the conflict, the grey mist of the sky momentarily blinding him. But only momentarily. A hideous screech echoed from somewhere in front of the SPARTAN.

"Vanguard 1, this is Hightower Lead. We're pulling back now. Comm us when you need extraction, sir. Hightower Lead out."

"Roger that, Hightower Lead," Jared replied, stepping into the dark mists. The Pelicans engines thrummed, then faded away as it flew farther and farther away from the towering structure of the Archive. And then, Jared was alone.

Another shriek echoed, this time much closer. Out of the mist charged four combat forms, their bodies those of former Elites. Behind them lurked something more monstrous, muttering to itself in disgusting sucking yelps. Jared racked a round into his MA5C and opened fire. One by one, the atrocious lifeforms were reduced to wet shreds of flesh. Changing clips, SPARTAN-091 crept cautiously through the fog. His energy shields flaired and died as a whip-like tail struck him across the chest, knocking him flat on his back. The soldier reached for one of his fragmentation grenades and armed it. With a grunt, he chucked the explosive at the hulking Flood form. A fiery explosion engulfed the creature, and it screamed in outraged pain. Then it fell to the ground. 091 got to his feet and shoved his boot through the thing's bloated head. With a satifying crunch, the Super form lay still forever.

He watched. There were multiple hostiles. A platoon of Rebel scum, two hunter pairs, and an elite on patrol. He would have to deal with the elite first. He creeped behind it and shot it in the back of the head with a silenced BR-55 Battle Rifle. He dragged the elite's body to a place where it would not be found, then proceeded to deal with the hunters. There was going to be a bloodbath. This would be fun.

Shadows moved throug the archive. Imperial and flood forces were bieng slaughtered by an an enemy that they could not see. "Delta. Relay them the information on our progress so far. Encrypt in Eternity Code Theta so that nobody will know what is going on. Not even the UNSC, Covenant, and Imperial forces in orbit." He said. "In the meantime make sure that anyone following us are killed." He continued. "Already done." replied the A.I. He laughed. Everything that he did not want here would soon be eliminated.

“Surrender, who do they think we are?” questioned Dave.

“Yeah, something’s not right here,” agreed Hattie, “all of our previous opponents only prefer dead SPARTANs to surrender.”

“Well, there’s one thing that’s for certain: we are heavily outgunned and outmanned. We’ll be forced into the open with no ammo left if we continue to fight,” said Lambda Leader, counting off the negatives off with each finger, “yeah, we’re pretty much screwed. Guys, and gals, you know the routine.”

Lambda Leader stood up, and dropped his sniper rifle, nudging it aside before unholstering his pistol and giving it similar treatment. He also took out his fragmentation grenades and placed them on the ground, pin-sides down. The other Lambdas performed similar actions, and they all raised their hands, a gesture that they are surrendering. --Dubtiger 01:57, 19 May 2007 (UTC)--

57
An Imperial Shock Trooper walked towards the spartans accepting their surrender when out of nowhere his head exploded. Lambada Squad looked behind them to see a marine holding a smoking sniper rifle exit from a pelican. Twenty more pelicans dropped behind him. "Now way are we giving up Spartans!" yelled the marine in charge as five thousand marines dropped down to Lambada Squad's position. Charging Imperial Shock Troopers died as the combined fire of the marines drove them out of the hangar.

When the reinforcements came in, the SPARTANs kicked the fragmentation grenades at the shock troopers, blowing holes in their lines, and also clearing some of the debris at some of the doorways.

"You guys are a little late," commented Lambda Leader, picking up his sniper rifle.

Hattie and Yoshi conversed with each other as the hangar bay was stormed with UNSC marines. Dave led the "clean out crew."

Onboard UNSC Juggernaught.

Coed shot his shotgun, and the chest of a nearby Combat Form was completely blown apart; the muck from the Infection Form within splattered on the metal wall, mixed with sickly green blood. "How the hell did this ship get so many Flood?" Fregol asked 'Evrolomee, "I am not sure, I have so far seen no signs of infestation besides the beasts themselves" he replied.

A fractured, mutilated A.I. voice sounded through the speakers, unable to be distinguished. "What the hell?" Coed said, looking around at a rusty holopad; there was a flickering red/green hologram that was undistinguishable, although you could barely make out a humanoid form.

"I a-a-am Ag-il-d-d-dor..." the mutilated voice said once more, this time a little clearer, "At-t-t yo-u-ur s-erv-vice Captain C-coed..." he said. But at that moment, a giant tentacle crashed into the pad, crushing it and spraying metal shrapnel all over the area; a Juggernaught. It was a bit ironic, that there would be mostly Juggernaughts on the UNSC Juggernaught, but Coed ignored it, drew two high-powered pistols, and fired.

117649 Annihilative Repentance conducted his movements and actions carefully, taking full concentration not to slip up about his plan in the slightest way.

He hovered more close, and as Lysira Sarris blinked, he absorbed something from her in a flash of painless, unnoticable electrical discharge. Unwittingly, she had just helped him move closer towards his ultimate goal.

He motioned the MAKO attack drones to move in for the kill. They opened fire with silenced machine guns killing a squad of Imperial Shock Troopers and two hunters. There was a console nearby. If he coul insert Delta into it he would gain control of all sentinals and the entire database could be downloaded into Delta. Delta was a tenth generation "Smart" A.I. and could live forever. As a result he had unlimited acess. He put Delta into the console. "You know what to do." He said as the A.I raced through the system. Now to deal with the remaining hostiles.

The Hunter's Hand hung motionless in space, its crippled engines leaking waste gases at an alarming rate. Belisarius picked himself up off the floor with a snarl of rage and opened an intraship channel to engineering. "Epimetheus! Situation!"

The holoscreen was not properly functioning, but the voice that Belisarius heard was clearly not Epimetheus. "The Machinist is not--available, excellency. As to situation, it is unrelentingly grim. At present, we are operating in low-power mode to conserve energy. Our dorsal and starboard shields are destroyed; we have no hope of re-establishing power to them at this time. Portside shields are damaged, but not irreparably; ventral shields are chiefly unscathed, but are losing power slowly."

"Turn us over, Cassius," Belisarius said. "Present our strongest side. Show of force."

He received no response but his helm officer's raspy coughing. A shard of metal had penetrated his chest, and two Unggoy medics were attempting to pull it out of him, with little success. "Damn," snapped Belisarius. "Continue, Submachinist."

The unidentified engineering officer continued. "Plasma torpedo tubes are dormant; we have not exhausted our plasma supplies, but the magnetic coils are overheated. Pulse laser crystals have undergone stress fractures. Engines are operating at minimal efficiency; lateral thrusters are still fairly active, but we are diverting no power to them at this time. Gravitational thrusters for slipspace are offline; we have no chance of repairing them. However, the main reactor is still active, so we may be able to repair some systems at least."

"Focus on getting our engines back online," the Ship Master groaned, rubbing his stiff, bruised arms. "After that, we can worry about shields and weapons."

He glanced around the bridge. Cassius was fading fast, gasping and coughing blood. Severius was obviously dead; his head had been blown off when his console exploded. Eleusus was groaning in pain; his left leg had sustained a nastly twist, and looked broken. Captain Gabalus' voice rang out over the comm. "All units, report casualties! Form up! Form up! Hold lines! Prepare to repel enemy boarders!" His voice was finely professional and confident, a calming influence on the dying and wounded.

Belisarius punched up a display, replaying the battle. The Parasite had not been cautious with their openers. The third volley they fired had been all four torpedo tubes at once, pounding the same location on the right top side of Hunter's Hand. Then, before the cruiser's shields could recover, they had been pounded with coordinated fire from at least two dozen laser turrets. Hunter's Hand was a real mess when Blade of Dawn finished up. Even more embarrassingly, the cruiser only got off two or three plasma torpedoes before the magnetic coils failed. It had crushed Blade of Dawn ' s port shields, but no further damage. Then, with one final shot before being disabled, they had scratched the destroyer with three or four pulse lasers. Nothing. Barely damage at all. A destroyer's heavy plating could easily diffuse a pulse laser. If only Hand had been retrofitted with an energy projector!

Now, the destroyer was hanging across from them, silently mocking its fallen foe.

"Come on, abominations," Belisarius snarled. "You've got us dead in space. Finish us. What are you waiting for?"

On Blade of Dawn ' s bridge, Vensar 'Fenijee was furious. One lucky pulse laser from the cruiser had punched through a weak spot in the hull and dealt the main reactor a deadly blow. Even now, the Flood were working to restore power to the reactor, but in the meantime, the emergency life-support and gravity were draining power reserves. And as for shields, weapons, and movement, there was no hope. They were at the Loyalists' mercy.

"Come on, apes," the Major hissed. "We have no power. Finish us. What are you waiting for?"

39020247 Irremediable Affliction rose from the girl "Lucy"'s arms, his usual teal colored light shining bright once more, and all primary systems operating at 100%. He floated over to the primary control console and began purging the entire system; whatever undesirable was within, it would be purged, and dissected...

Onboard Supercarrier; Archaic Memory.

A wealth of knowledge, some would say it, although 117649 Annihilative Repentance would call it more, a large fortune. He had no idea at first sight that this Lysira Sarris had contained so much information; in his data banks, almost an eighth of a percent was filled.

He continued to draw out information, until that particular console was considered "empty". Back on The Archive, he long-range tapped the systems; an artificial construct was gaining information, but Irremediable Affliction had so far nearly purged it. This was good.

On/partially part of The Archive.

Tendrils fused with the metal platform, and the Hivemind grew considerably in size, strength, and intelligence. This strange fusion of Flood and machine created a magnificent creature of horrible strength and knowledge, able to destroy what it liked in a matter of minutes...

Delta had finally finished downloading all of the information in the archive when he saw a deletion program moving towards him. He smiled. Like that could stop him. He had all of the ONI and Covenant anti-virus software installed along with all of the forunner software too. Instead he simply avoided the programs and travelled into the monitor that had set them. Now he was in control.

Iota Five was ready. he had killed verything here except those who controlled the monitor. Colonel Ackerson woudl reward him for this. He signaled the MAKO class attack drones to close in on the two Imperial soldiers. He snuck up behind them, took out two silenced K7 SMGs, and said to them "Move, talk, or scream and die."

Iota One was traveling through to the Archive when he saw Iota Five cornering the two Imperial SOldiers with the monitor. He had no time to wonder why another Iota was here. Instead he joined him with the lance of Special Operation elites. All enemies were trapped like rats.

It was time... 12 cloacked figures effectivly slaughtered the marines that had came in hanger 7. They were veiled in heavy armor and carried plasma swords and moved like water easily avoid teh shots. Only one fell due to overwhelming fire and another by friendly fire. Then the Frigates that were told to.

"How said." the lead said in an echoish voice." We were intended to gaurd our empress but instead were sent to declare you property of the Dragon IMperial forces!" He held his doublebladed plasma sword to his back."Throw down your weapons..."

The Imperial Royal Guard moved swiftyly immediatly securing Mahiru's and Michel's positions.

"My lord we must move you. Elite foes are heading this way and You and Lucy as well as our new friend are to be moved to the Archaic Memory.

"I'm not running... Go and get rid of those ONI bastards. Darge escort miss Lucy and the monitor out of here. No survivors will coem but just incase we fail..."

"Don't worry sir I got your girl covered!" he replied.

They left Michel and the Elite guard behind with two Lekgolos to protect Michel.

"This was suppose to be a simple claim... How the hell did ONI find out about this." Michel asked him self.

Seth knocked Iota 5 into his own attack drones.

"Reinforce Michel's position!" he ordered the two troopers. "As for you...,"he took his helmet off revealing his pale face. It had a mosaic of green veins. "I will kill you... all of you for teh pain I have endured!!"

He lunged at Iota 5 with brutal speed... almost as if he were Flood. He easily dispatched teh MAKO attack drones and then fioxed his green eyes on Iota 5. Then as if by thought Flood appeared and on Seth's Signal they began to attack him as he watched from afar.

Delta laughed. The Imperial flagship had contacted the monitor and now Delta was inside their database. he immedialty copied all of their information then started a systematic purging of the database.

The veiled guards were on their way through the hangar when five of them dropped down dead from headshots. wondering what was going on one turned to see a marine shoot him in the head with a BR-55 Battle Rifle. MAKO attack drones fired rockets and silenced machine guns at them. Effectivly killing them without difficulty.

Kwas 'Pudmee fired his fuel rod into both of the hunters killing them. He took out an energy sword and charged at the eilte. It took out a plasma rifle and fired in return but could not get a hit. 'Pudmee ended the fight and cut off its head.

Iota One grabbed his BR-55 Battle Rifle and punched Seth in the face sending him flying ten metres. "What?! No human is that powerful!" He screamed. Before he could react Iota Five blasted the area with his MAKO attack drones. They were everywhere and nothing could stop their seemingly endless numbers. Within minutes all of the attacking flood were dead. Both Iotas turned and faced Seth. The leveled their silenced BR-55 Battle Rifles, and fired.

Akira stoped her routine check. She stopped everything and locked down the data base and set a virus loose on Delta.

"Sorry buddy. You got ... 15 smart AIs to go through to get to our plans!"The AI said.

With that said Imperial troopers began to move and bloock off all routes except one to theMemory as Lucy and ehr escort came into the supercarrier.

Michel set uo c-10 explosives up.

"Hey you should get out of here.If we are to hold this structure intact we must eliminate the UNSC. If you can spare us some of thiose robats of yours It'd be appreciated." He said as a garrison of Troopers arrived to protect the heir.

"My lord get out of here!" a Elite Guard said.

Seth laughed as he jumped ontop of Iota 5 beating him into teh ground with his brute force creating a crator. under the poor noncome.

Seth looked up from Iota Five's body only to see a hunter send him flying. He prepared to flee. "No way I am letting you get away!" Yelled Iota Five. "How are you still alive!" Seth screamed. Iota Five jumped up and kicked Seth to the ground. Iota Five fired his Spartan Laser at him. Seth went flying and smashed an entire slate of rock fell ontop of him.

"Hah! Do you stupid rebels really thinkt hat you can stop me!! I am more powerful than any AI of human or covenant origin!" Said Delta as he deleted five programs that had been sent out to destoy him. He went up to one of the of the saved files and deleted it. That was twenty-five percent of the Dragon Empire's database. All of the Dragon Empire's deletion programs. He would not be stopped.

Iota One and Iota Five killed the Imperial Shock Troopers that where guarding the entrance to the caveed in hole. This would not be hard to destroy. The hunter pair that was with them quickly blew right through it. The rebels would not get away.

117649 Annihilative Repentance hummed a tune; it had a sinister outline to it, although it was not the melody itself, rather, the one who was singing it...

The Monitor detected the so called "tenth-generation" A.I. and was impressed at its ability to deflect even the most volatile of deletion programs. This strange occurence was most likely due to the various time rifts that had opened up only a few days before, if they at all existed, for Reclaimers' Artificial Constructs had so far only gotten up to the fifth generation.

He was not foolish enough to go in unprepared; even if this construct would enter him, he would not recieve any signals and trap him, and of course nothing could control a Monitor.

Even though the purple-glowing Monitor did not have a face, you could tell he was smiling. This AI would soon be manipulated for his own ends.

Escaping Archive core.

The Monitor of The Archive felt the construct slip into his own systems, although obviously not able to control him at all. He then recieved a message from the Archaic Memory and the AI slipped into their systems; it was indeed crafty.

The room was assaulted, and 39020247 Irremediable Affliction was pulled away along with the girl and the Reclaimer, not knowing what was ahead, or the sinister plot that was about to unfold.

Onboard crashed UNSC Juggernaught.

The sensory stalks on the top of the Juggernaught exploded, and the high-powered rounds ricocheted off the inner cell walls of the beast, tearing its internal organs and the Infection Form within; it was officially dead.

'Evrolomee looked around, hearing scuttling noises and drawing two Human "Sub-machine guns". Suddenly, a tidal wave of Infection Forms started pouring out of an open door, and the entire group opened fire, spraying green and gray goop everywhere. This was going to be bloody.

The entire platform was soon to become a Flood form, unknown to those currently within or on its surface. And the Monitor; 117649 Annihilative Repentance would be key to survival.

Delta had now purged the entire Dragon Empire database of information when he saw that he was bieng watched by a monitor. Delta's image of a Spartn-II in Mark IV Mjolnir armour. "Hello." It said. "I am the MIL 940211 Tenth generation AI Delta." It continued. "I need your help and in return I shall aid you in the destruction of the flood. So do we have a deal?"

Masu 'Twassee made his way to hangar seven with the entire unti stationed at the base camp. They could not fight on their own. If the humans and the Separatist camps were the same they could defend much more easily.

When 'Twassee finally got to Hangar Seven he found an entire regiment of troops waiting outside. "Wraiths bombard those Imperial forces!" Yelled 'Twassee to his troops. Arcs of plasma flew towards the Imperial Shock Troopers. The Imperial forces screamed as the mortars vapourized them and split their ranks. The commander looked to see a massive Separatist force. "Fall back to the LZ! We canot keep this up!" He yelled to his troops as they ran from the much larger force that was chasing them.

Jared-091 was the only one who saw the hand emerge from the rocky rubble. It clenched some sort of detonator. Before Jared could react, Seth had pulled the trigger. It was too late to save the Hunters, who were blown to bits, but with his quick reflexes, 091 had swiftly knocked both Iota ODSTs to the floor, covering them both with his armored body. The left-over rubble rained off of his shields, and the super-soldier grunted as a chunk of masonry struck his lower back. That was going to leave a mark.

Seth got mad. Tenticles bursted through his SPI armor. Then more Flood came in... and more... and more... The easily overwhelmed and dispatched the MAKO drones and swarmed on the IOTAs giving him time to set up one of Rey's bombs. a lotus grenade. it got it's name from the flowery shape. He stopped as the Hivemind gained some power over him as well as his minions... He vanished tossing the grenade that blossomed and blew.

Michel went to reinforce hanger seven. He leaped and landed on a sangheili and crushed his scholl.

"Hold the line ladies!!" He said as his escort garrison came in."Back un into the tunnenl! Cave it in my mark!" he ordered.

The Lillium drooped off a scarab. "Compliments of General Strike my lord! Fire at those Wraiths! Get the assault troopers down there! Unggoy take those ful rod cannons and provide heavy support!" the Scarab commander said. The Sangheili commander him self watched the monitors.

"Delay that order! Leo Legion concentrate on tose SPARTANs! Serpentarius take care of the cannon fodder!" he ordered moving up with his sniper rifle and sword in hand.

He liked this... the power of command. He ignored it as Nikki let loose a new toy. A robotic creature she dubbed Spider-II the Mk ones were just mines. He turned around to see troops in exo-skeletons. The enemy would surely die now.

Ocean deiced to takea bunch of marines and Riku to hanger seven to pick up Lambda squad. The Pelican wizzed in firing rockets at the Scarab and the Phantom which flew into a bunch of Troopers. Riku jumped off clashing swords with Michel the two were surprised...

"Hey! Get in!" Ocean yelled from the cockpit manuvering her bird close enough to Lambda squad.

She felt uncomfortable since teh chair wasn't made from her mark 7.

He shook violently... It hurt to see her and she knew it. It hurt her too.

"Your dead! I shot you my self!" he yelled.

"You did but it wasn't a mortal wound." she replied

The two froze as the battle raged. They couldn't hurt eachother... He ran... and she chased.

'Twassee cut his way through a platoon of Imperial Shock Troopers. He saw a Scarab coming towards them. Not good. Then out of nowhere the rebel scarab exploded. 'Twassee looked up to see the Iotas and Spartan-091 jump out of it. Guns blazing the dropped down cruching the soldiers beneath them. Two destroyers flew overhead. Their auto-turrets cutting down rebel infantry. The Imperial troops were once again bieng driven out of hangar seven but this time they would not have enough strength to attack again. Archer missiles streaked down tearing their forces apart. They were trapped in a pincer between a regiment of elites and a regiment of marines and spartans. Iota Five snuck up behind Seth and put a Katana to his throat. "Now then." He said. "I am not finished with you."

Ocean glared at the Spartan that showed up. show off she said in her mind She parked the Pelican and ordered her marines to follow her as she went after Riku. She didn't care about anything anymore other than being the only Sigma left. Her mission still stood... Capture Lysira, eliminate Flood presence... and captture the remaining seven spartans.

"Come on boys, we're going to hell and back!" she and her large squad ran into the hall the Imperials didn't blow up.

Michel and Riku clashed blades heading into the core room with the monitor.

He didn't want to attack so he just parried all her attacks but it was getting tiresome and he could not hold on for long.

Seth laughed and poped his chest plat open revealing that he is infact completly flood. He closed it and his head tilted. He knelt down.

"It hurts..." He grabed Iota's shoulder. Not hard but as if in respect. "Please... protect her from them... ONI must not get her back... Theyc can't do this to her... not again..." He pulled the katana out of his neck and died. There was a bar code on his neck.

"SPARTAN-O066 is KIA. activating armor fail safe protocol. Incinerating..." a voice said from his helm in the hanger.

Lucy watched from the shadows whimpering and shaking her head. Her escort hurried her along.

"Your majesty! Seth is dead. We're enroute to our spot of the city." the Imperial Cpatian said.

Lambda Squad all dropped their weapons in response to the guard's command.

"To hell with that," said Dave, thrusting a closed fist into his other, open palm.

"Agreed," said Lambda Leader, "screw your command."

As one, the SPARTANs charged.

Confused now and in disarry the soldiers retreated and blew the doorways cutting offhanger 7 from the rest of the archive.

Ocean made her way to the docks but it had long since been heavily monitored by a new enemy... She turned and wasted the marines liek they were nothing. The one thing the UNSC would enver expect. One of it's own secret projects betraying them. Riku was in on it to.

Kunzite used his sheathed sword as a cane as the rest of his crew entered the Pelicans they had brought. He left behind a Covenant Bomb. The kind they ussed on teh Athens and Malta from earth. Poor bastards would find it set for 1:00 once he left. Then again it was just a dummy. He replaced the real one with the spare one dummy one on the Ragnorok. The Cher Ami waited to recieve them.

Michel didn't think Riku was just playing... she was pissed and she wanted to make the pain equal. So they continued fighting until the other let down their guard.

D + 02:51:47 \ Location Unknown

Hank bent over and retrieved as much shotgun ammo as he could find from the fresh corpses of the newest Flood forms he had fought. He had gotten lost, even with the map, in the endless hallways and corridors of the structure. He was now just wandering about, trying to find anything that might help him escape the Flood-infested installation before they killed him. A sentinel buzzed around the corner, humming as if it was just begging for a shotgun slug. Hank complied, blowing the thing apart and showering the ground with bits of metal. Hank replaced the fired round with another from his limited supply, then slung the weapon and pulled out his empty M7 SMG and searched about for clips. Hank turned right into a room, where a terminal was present. Hoping to resolve his location, Hank accessed the computer.

The screen began to fill up with the same warning message, as well as locations of different rifts. Hank, judging from the location of the portals, made a guess as to where the trouble was coming from, opened up his map, and dropped a NAV marker on the room. He turned, drew his sword, and began jogging towards the problem, following his NAV marker. As he ran, a combat form jumped out at him. Without even stopping, Hank cut it across the waste, severing it, its two pieces dividing enough to avoid hitting Hank. Infection forms began to pour into the corridor, but Hank merely trod over them, not afraid of their attempts to assimilate them; he had learned long before that they had no affect over him, though he didn’t know why. The distance between Hank and the NAV marker grew smaller as time passed.

"She's gone rogue seal off the exit!" Screamed the marines. Several packs of C-12 exploded trappig Ocean but leaving the marines and the spartans with nowhere to go, but there was somewhere to go because they had the blueprints of the entire Archive. They could very easily track down the escaping enemy and kill them.

"Son of a b!" Screamed Admiral Chow as Admiral Kunzite and his forces left. They had also left an anti-matter bomb. "Will activate bomb routine 125-01. You know what to do." Admiral Chow said. "Yessir. There appers to be multiple ant-matter bombs. Disarming now." Said the AI as he disarmed the bombs. "Do not let thos pelicans get away! Sparrohawk and Longsword squadrons bring them down!" Ordered the admiral.

Copies of Delta raced through the Dragon Empire systems. They caused havoc among ship, forcing them to fire on one another, killing off the other AIs, cuting off oxygen to certain parts of the ship, and bombing their own forces on the Archive. If this kept up the Dragon Empire fleet would be decimated unless the copies were erased. Either that or they would get killed by their own ships.

Lambda Squad waited to see if any more Imperials or Loyalists would fire upon them. None did. They gathered their weapons and combed the hangar bay for ammunition dropped by the fallen marines.

"This is Lambda Leader, Archive hangar bay designated Hangar 7 is a hot spot. I repeat, Archive Hangar 7 is a hot spot! Refrain from sending in reinforcements unless specified!" Lambda Leader spoke into his radio in a calm tone. --Dubtiger 14:37, 20 May 2007 (UTC)--

Iyin 'Jnunqee was no longer on Blade of Dawn. He had abandoned ship many times before as a Sangheili, but never before as one of the Flood. The Infection Form inside him, the cruel thing that whispered in his head, was mildly amused by his efforts to pilot the Teraph-class Stealth Interceptor. It was difficult to control the horribly mangled remains of his body without the Flood thing's aid, but that was a necessary risk. The Flood, even those actively revolting from the monstrosity that was taking shape aboard Rise of Darkness--actually, well beyond the frigate by now--were malicious. He had a new understanding of them. They were not abominations; they were just like everything else, once.

But something had happened, and a consuming hunger had twisted them beyond possibility of recall. No Flood would ever pass up the opportunity to feed, which made it a constant strain for Iyin to keep control of himself. He wanted to kill 'Fenijee, regardless of the cost, and it was taking considerable self-control to avoid attacking the Sangheili.

So, he had flown out into vacuum in an invisible ship barely big enough to stand up in. Within him, the parasite's thousand voices whispered. This was not reasonable. To starve oneself was a crime of self-harm, something beyond sense. Had he not better go back? Confront 'Fenijee? The ship would be his...

"Shut up!" he howled, forcing an unearthly tumble of words out of his decayed mouth. "Shut up!"

Blocking out the voice with all his might, he set the Teraph at top speed for the landing bays of Hunter's Hand.

He had a bad situation to negotiate. Generally, he preferred not to be rotting while he attempted diplomacy.

''Oh, well. You can't win them all.''

The escaping Imperial Shock troopers had thought that they lost the UNSC forces. Thought... As they turned around to the next hallway the Imperial Shock Troopers at the front of the formation dropped down dead. The other looked to see over five hundred elites and Iota One waiting there for them. They decided to take another route only to find one thousand marines and Iota Five. Iota Five fired his Spartan Laser into them. No enemy would be left alive.

Aboard Supercarrier; Archaic Memory.

117649 Annihilative Repentance silently monitored the entire fiasco with the Archaic Memory's sensors; the plan was soon to go in motion. He opened up various files, detecting various copies of the AI that had intruded, although simply shaking them off of the files, like one would do to insects on a bed sheet.

Lysira Sarris was by now elsewhere, with all the chaos within the Imperial Fleet, but he had gotten all he needed from her, as well as the ship data banks, and The Archive's data banks, and unknowingly, even the crafty Artificial Construct...

He answered Yes to the construct's question, and it seemed pleased as it zipped through the systems to various other ships, constantly cloning itself, not knowing the consequences of its actions; cloning was a dangerous procedure for an Artificial Intelligence; it decreased overall knowledge capacity, shortened capabilities, and most of all, each clone had a much higher chance of rampancy than the one before.

The Monitor continued watching the happenings below, including this "Hank". He would be one of the few that the Monitor had chosen to survive. Soon, his chosen would escape the transformation of The Archive.

On/partially part of The Archive.

He swung his massive tentacles through a swarm of Sentinels, causing a massive chain reaction of firy explosions. The time portals were closed by now, he was sure of that, ensuring no escaping Humans, although time still was not re-established.

"The chrysalis is almost hatched... powers untold soon to be awakened..."

The Archaic Memory's 16 AIs went to work instantly deleting the copies of Delta. Due tot he fact the the ''Memory had all the AIs emnt that the Fleet would not really fire ion their own unless told to by H.I.M.. Akira turned the turrents on the Spitfire and fired warning shots as it drifted away from it's perch to collect the incoming Pelicans.

The anti matter bomb popped openand a hologram appeared.

"You fell for the oldest trick in the book! The real bomb is somewhere special... your bridge!" said the figure.

Twilightstorm 20:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Delta saw that there were many AIs deleting his copies. No matter it had all been a trick. He had trapped the AIs and started the deletion process. So far five AIs on the Archiac Memory had been deleted and the rest would soon follow. he immediatly opened up the weapons on the Archiac Memory and fired at an Imperial Ship destroying it. he then cut off all oxygen on the lower levels effectivly killing off the enitre garrison there. He was slowly working his way up. Soon the entire ship would be only dead bodies.

The UNSC Spitfire saw the attack super carrier as a threat. It did not matter for the super carrier had just traveled into a mine field. Admiral Chow activated the HORNETs. The super carrier's shields shimmered as they absorbed the massive amount of damage. One more shot of that power and they would be destroyed. Little did they now was that it was all a distraction for several marines designed for zero-gee combat entered the hangars of the ship. After killing off the crew in them they moved on to the rest of the ship.

"This is getting tiresome... All Imoperial fighters pick off that ship's cannons! I want the Spitfire. Kunzite move your people from teh Ragnorok into the Memory Aldaris! Move the Memory away as soon as Ocean makes it to hanger beta. Michel! Riku! It is tiem to erradicate your evil brothers... Kill the spartans. Madaline move teh legions to the core area and wait for futhur commands. All imperial troops use anymweants necceary t hold the Archive. Failiure to do so will result in purge of the mind!"

The Imperial Fleet moved to attack the bioship as well as the fighter squadrants. She her self bagan to decode the Eternity Code. Good think she payed extra attention when her ONI allies showed her class how. It was all quite simple. She then had Nicole decode it as well to spread to the troops. She looked at a small child. about age 7 with a cloak around his neck coverng his entire body, Aldaris.

Gerbur was happy... That ment they would finally get to test their new heavy support unit. Unliekt eh Exo-Skeletons and power armors, the Attack Droid featured dual auto-chainguns uin it's hands. It looked abit human but it's white plated armour and it's size made everyone one run for the hills. They got auto locking use IFF trsnponders to attack. Since the Imperial forces had no IFF and the marines did that madethem easy prey. There should be a couple hundred of these remarkable thing in the Archaic Memory and the Ragnorok. These things amke SPARTANs look like jokes and not even a Scarab can kill it. It will vicously presue any target given by the HIGH Command.

"Let'em go boys!" he said watching about twenty of them go. He kept five and sent another five to reinforce teh legions. He and his troops headeed with the Serpent legion to Hanger 7.

Imperial fighters. Admiral Chow thought that the super carrier would give him a challenge. The auto-turrets opened fire onto the fighters quickly destroying them. Archer missiles streaked towards them quickly eliminating the squadrons. "Will bring us around the Archive. I want to be able to plan an attack that will take them by surprise." Said the Admiral.

"You marines block off that exit!" Yelled Iota Five to the marines. Then an Attack Droid blew right through them. "Gotcha." said Iota Five. He jumped aside revealing Iota One with an EMP Launcher. Iota One fired it into the droid temporarliy disabling it. Iota Five blew right through it with the Spartan Laser. "Fall back! We cannot hold them off from this position!" Yelled Iota Five. The marines blew several canisters of C-12 on the cieling dropping ten tonnes of rock on the attacking forces.

The imperial fighters put more of a challange up. They manuvered and dodged the auto-guns like nothing.

"Who the hell do these guys thing they are? They're full of them selves commander!" a pilot said.

"Fire on those guns! Archaic Memory we could use some help! Jackson! Cripple those engines!" The sangheili commander said.

The fighters were more of a pain then the Troopers constant firing down below. The four pelicans made it to the Memory and easily took care on the Zero-gee marines. Kunzite may be old but he was one hell of a soldier and still is. He cut down the enemy and made two surrender when back up arrived in the fighetr hanger. The Archaic Memory backed off and fired one deadly lance of plasma. he lance destroyed The Spitfire's main cannon. Nothing could dodge a blast that went at the speed of light.

Michel and Riku stopped fighting each other and started to head to Mimi's last position. Mahiru followed soon after annoying the hell out of her twin.

"Hey... look a Wyvern!" he stopped the others and watched the attack drone grab a marine with it's left foot and slaughter the others with it's miniguns then started to crush the marine it caught with it's foot. it ackowledged the SPARTANs then moved on to patroling.

After the Iotas left. Lucy went to Seth's body. He had served and protected her from everything... Now he was dead. Then she jumped as she saw the wound on his neck close up slowly. He rose and cracked his neck.

"My queen... forgive me for underestimating the enemy. This is my last leg now... I lived far to long. I will slay them... slay them all..." he said to her as his head tilted.

She shook her head and pulled him away.

Mahiru wondered why her mother didn't release the wyverns before. But she is enigmatic. She followed Riku and her twin brother carrying her needlers and a spartan laser. In time a couple of straglers joined up and they had a platoon of shock troopers and troopers. Peeps stayed behind with his bomb squad and began blowing up hallways that lead any where towards the staging areas nd other imperial controled spots. Mahiru left a Lekgolo pair with him. When he joined up Mahiru put a colar on him and draged about like a dog. Now she resoected him as an ally.

"Why are the Wyverns patroling?" she asked her twin.

"Cause they're better than organic troops." He said dropping spider mines.

They moved into the RV point where the monitor still was on the console mike had been at. He'd be pissed to know that Akira is in the network copying files and letting loose a nano virus in the monitor. Just like the other one. It allowed them to continue their plan but they would never bring harm to any imperial listed on the Archaic Memory.

Load Archer missiles one through one hundred and hat up the four remaining MAC canons. Fire!" The Admiral yelled. The massive tungsten slugs and archer missiles streaked towards the attacking squadrons destroying them all. Then the UNSC Spitfire dissapeared.

The Imperial Legions moved through to the marines position. "Gotcha." Said First Leiutenant Lewis as he activated the LOTUS anti-tank mines under the legion quickly blasting through there ranks. The remaining attackers pushed forward ony to fall from the hidden machine-gun nests. "Don't fall back!" yelled their commander. The forces keeped moving up but the marines activated one pack of C-12 on a weak part of the cieling drooping five tonnes of rock onto the legion. Enemy casulties were getting high. Not even the attacking Spartans coukd get through the massive rock slide.

Behind the Road Runner came the Destroyer Arizona carring a force of 500 marines, ODST, and Omega Stealth Squad. "Prepare to lauch soliders," came the booming voice of Captain Hopkins over the intercomm. As the soliders scrambled to the pods and Pelicans the canons boomed as they fired on the convenat loyalist's ships. The ODSt was lauched first with Omega S Squad. Then following the marines in pelicans.

As the pods hit the surface of the city the ODST secured the area for the Pelicans. But almost as if they were already there Flood carrier and Combat forms ran out at the ODST. As one of the forms neared a ODST he was firing like mad at it. Just as it reached him a steel blur came out of nowhere. The Form fell to the ground cut straight in two. Taiyo stood in front of the ODST and puled out his KRISS and shot out one of the Forms legs as it fell 5 more bullets from the KRISS went through it's body. The ODST sat there for a second then a Form flew over his head and Alecski jump over the ODST a stabed the Form with the katana blade that portruded out of his arm. The ODST got up and saw a man with three infectious Forms on him and he just hit the off with his hand and crushed them with his foot. He then took his Glock and pluged a Combat Form with a half a clip in the head. As the ODST started to shoot again two combat forms came rushing at him. As soon as they got 4 feet from him their head exploded one after the other. It was the Omega S Squads sniper Kayne. After the had cleared the area of Flood the Pelicans landed. Captain Mavow Came out of one of the Pelicans. "Damage Report," yelled Mavow. Taiyo came out from a group of soliders, "Out of the 250 that came down we lost 20 men sir." "Name and Rank" said Mavow. " Taiyo, Corporal, Leader of Omgea Stealth Squadron. Private Kayne, Private Joey and Private Alecski are also in Omega S Squad," said Taiyo smartly. "I thought we sent down a Sergeant with you guys," said Mavow "You did sir, but he was killed," repelied Taiyo "Fine, Lets set up a camp then,"

"Yes,sir" Will replied. The Admiral had just ordered MAC1 to be repaired, not a monumental task, but one that would require some time to complete "In the meantine I want everyone to use the new thing that ONI gave us. Load Archer missiles one through one hundred and hat up the four remaining MAC canons. Fire!" The Admiral yelled. A massive slavo of tugsten and white-hot metal destroyed the incoming fighters. Then the "gift" ONI activated and the Spitfire disappeared. "Report!" The Admiral barked "What happened?". Wills cloaked avatar appeared and flashed with mathematical symbols "Admiral, we are in slipspace," "Then shutdown the SF drive," "Sir, I cannot shutdown something that is not on," "Then shutdown the ONI device," <<Shutdown sequence iniated>> <<Deactivation code:[classified]>> <<Deactivation impossible>> <<Shutdown sequence aborted>> "Shutdown impossible,sir" Will reported "Ok, then give me your analysis of the current situation," The AI dimmed and relit "Sir, this version of slipspace is not the 'normal' 11-dimension version of slipspace that we used to.

Delta's image of a Spartan-II in Mark IV Mjolnir armour appeard. "Hello sir. Fancy seeing you here." He said. "What do you mean by that Delta?" asked Will. "Actually I am just a copy of Delta sent here." He replied. "That still does not awnser my question." Growled Will. "Fine if you must know you are in 15-dimesnional slipspace that shall allow you to place an object with a wieght of twenty tonnes or less anywhere with pinpoint accuracy. This allows us to send our troops anywhere we want and allows us to attack enemies. The problem is that you temporarily leave yourself vulnerable and if you spend too long in here you will be torn apart. I am currently sending you the way to get out now." Said the copy as he vanished.

"You Corporal Taiyo of the Omega S Squad?" asked a marine. "Yes. Who wants to know?" Replied Taiyo. "Lieutenant Corporal Iota Five wants you to report to the current position of our forces in Hangar Seven. Follow me through a secret passage ot get there." Replied the marine. The forces moved towards Hangar Seven ready to fight anything that opposed them.

SPARTAN-091 lay prone on top of the fallen rocks that blocked the passage and killed some of the confused Imperials. The rogue SPARTANs (Jared couldn't believe it! Rogue?) had wisely sent the cannon fodder in first to place Lotus mines at the bottom of the rubble. So far, none of them had made it. 091 hoped that whoever Iota Five had summoned could help out with this problem. He was running low on ammo. Juliet was busy feeding new data on the Imperial's psi powers back to Will, orbiting above the Archive. Another thing Jared couldn't understand was how the rebels had been able to control Flood forms. All the Flood he had encountered had been ravenously interested in Human and Covenant flesh.

The SPARTAN paused in his thoughts to reload his empty MA5C. "I'm low on ammo, Lieutenant!" he yelled to Iota Five. This didn't look good.

Said Iota Five. "Sir! I have brought Omega S Squad!" Said a marine. "Good job." Iota Five walked up to Omega S Squad. "Good to see another ONI Section Three Special Operations paramilitary force here to give us backup." Said Iota Five to the Squad. "Now I need you to go and reinforce this position. Do not let anything pass." Said Iota Five.

Delta had almost killed off the entire crew of the Archiac Memory. The remaining five AIs were stopping him from draining the hangars and the nridge of oxygen. No matter he would simply trap them the minute they let their guard down. He was not going to lose.

The Wyvern drones began abushing the intruders. At the same time a Nano virus infected Delta with great ease passing off as a minor virus like a fire wall or something. It dusrupted his friend and foe settings and switching him to imperial control as Akira and the others replaced the deleted data. It wasn't needed but it helped to keep the ship looking important.

The Event Horizon and the other destroyers and frigates fired at the UNSC fleet.

Ocean took her legion and sarted attacking this ONI section 3 unit. She bested all of ONI's drill instructors and this unit in particular trained Sigma Team... well just their CO. She had her personal AI decode any trasmission and had gotten one of those fancy Wyverns. Riku and Miche led the four Legions that gathered to the UNSC ODST forces.

The colonel Richardson at the head of the regiment onboard the UNSC Road Runner of 458 marines division was in the Hangar bay 13 waiting for  the order to atack.

" Colonel Richardson this is captain Kotor Grenn light to engage you can deploy your troop en secure a rally zone for extraction of any survivors"

Lysira got tired of this AI. She completly locked him out of the system all together. ONLY SHE had access to air control since it is in her quarters in all. It can only be access manually. She didn't trust the other 15 AIs. Akira her self could multiply but it took to much out of her and Lysira didn't want the pilot of the ship to be detroyed by it's own hands. She turned her attention. If it did get to air controls it be useless. ALL units ear helms except her and Gerbur. She was surprised... The UNSC knew nothing about her Empire it was growing at an alarming rate. How could they not have noticed supply ships disapear? Arrogance? Maybe so.

"This is the Empress. My loyal and most trust worthy soldiers... Now is our time so strike! Four Legions are now one grand army and who shall be your field general? None other than the UNSC's former Fleet Admiral Kunzite Gem." She paused for a second. "Good luck my friends..."

The Memory and Ragnorok joined the massive space battle. The Ragnorok and the Archaic Memory fired at the UNSC Panzer at same time. Hundreds of thousands of Seraphs and Longswords came out of the hangers of the massive Supercarriers and began to pick off the UNSC fighters as if they were nothing since they have the suppior numbers. The original fighter defence fighetrs for the Empire were still engaging the Spitfire.

Nearby, the SPARTANs of Lambda Squad heard the commotion, coming from a nearby hangar bay.

"Move out," ordered Lambda Leader, and the group moved to investigate the threat.

They come across Hangar 6 in a complete mess. UNSC personnel littered the floor.

"Recently killed," commented Dave.

"Where are they?" asked Hattie.

The Imperial army had been formed. Kunzite could not just watch them stand any longer.

"Men!" he yelled getting their attention. "There are enemies inside here... out there. Our mission is the clense this holy place of the enemy and sent them running! They all don't dserve to be here! They took things from you... children from one of your hidden colonies. Held you against your own will. Allowed alot of things to happen... But now... this place... It is breaking and we must remove some of it's inhabitants... That is all. Prepare for Operation: Ultima!" he said.

The Imperials got in formation. Pilots got into their exo-skeletons, power armors, tanks and shadows. The Spartans of Omega Company and the two last members of Sigma Team moved ahead to cut a path. They took an APC ahead and then ditched it.

"Omega! Dazzle!" They all vanished as a passing armor column passed the empty APC.

All of a sudden eight spartans began firing on the lead tank as marines and the tanks returned fire.

"Damn! Where did they come from?! Sarge! We got rouges!" a Marine yelled.

"Hold the line damn it!" he replied with a roar.

Mahiru popped out of the ceiling and landed on the last tank and started to beat the top off. She tossed a grenade inside and then held the lid down and jumped off when it blew. She then moved to the third and ran past it as a spider drone began dismattling the cannon and then the track pods. The Spartans managed to blow the lead as they surrounded the second whos pilot gave up. Ocean pulled him out and tossed him aside for Seth to get in. Nicole gestured for the spider drone to follow. The now commandeered tank moved back to where it came from. The main force began following them now.

Kunzite reviewed the objectives.


 * Link up with General Strike


 * Take all hangers


 * Clear out the Archive of UNSC-Sep forces.


 * Locate Lucy

Sounded all to easy...

The Wyvern attack drones, now being repaired by a passing spider drone watched lambda squad from the ceiling of hanger six. The lead Wyvern droped a spider mine. The mini spider drone instead of falling lived up to it's spider looks and hung from a string and lowered down behind lambda squad with no noise. it crepted onto the 4th one and climbed onto it's back and silently drilled into the bulk of his armor. Nothing could get if off now without triggering of couse. Only Nicole-O056 could take it off and shes in the middle of an army of tanks and soldiers.

The Wyverns droped down firing at lambda squad. The Spider drone crawled to the hanger door controls and destroyed them then join it's mechanized brothers.

The spider drone spotted Francis 001 and pounced on his back it kept one of it's four legs on the fool. It set a spider mine on the organic. The spider drone then made a mistake and charged at Dave firing it's main weapon, a laser. The Wyverns made a wall out of rubble and began using shreader rounds for their arm guns.

The Imperials began taking a hanger under UNSC control. About four phantoms and one Pelican came to drop off reinforcements to cut off and surround the enemy forcing them to surrender.

Kunzite watched his children dance in the fight... They moved like water... like cats... Perfect cohesion and team tactics as of the other spartans. It all was to easy... This hanger wold now be the control center.

Peeps' bomb squad completly cut off any UNSC-Separtist forces from getting to the Imperial parts of the city in the Archive. They then joined up with the assult forces.

Mahiru played a game of cat and mouse chasing after soldiers that ran giggling. Her attitude may not intimadate the enemy but it drops their guards down. She shot her needler at a marines skull watching blood gush out and then explode as all seven needles popped at once.

She just loooooooooooooooooves mopping up. So bloody.

Delta smiled. the AI though it had control but in reality he had control of it. He took over the AIs bodies killing them off. He was now the only AI left in the databse and he was ready to finish off the Imperials.


 * > Loading...
 * > Eliminate all hostiles

A Wyvern looked away. the next thing it new it wa slashed in half by a blade. Severla Immperial Shock Troopers looked but were quickly killed by a silenced 20 MM machine Gun. It moved through the base camp killing all. Flames spread through engulfing the Imperials. Soon the base camp was losing troops fast. The commander looked up. He saw a massive black coloured robot. A singe white fin protruded from its head. It stabbed him with its blade. It dropped a pack of thirty C-12 canisters and flew away. The C-12 detonated killing alll twenty thousand troops in the camp that were still alive.


 * > Sending Information

Colonel Ackerson smiled. The driod was a complete succes. They would not see it coming.

The JINN class attack droid moved through. It saw Imperials entering Hangar Six. It went down adn started a systematic killing of the Imperials. Wyverns tried to fight back but the JINN took them down like they were dummies. "What the f--- is that?!" Yelled their commander as the JINN stabbed its sword right through his heart. Its single purple eye looked around the room. Seraching for enemy survivors. There were none. It moved on. Colonel Ackerson had ordered it to kill all the rebels in the Archive and it knew that he would not settle for anything less. An Imperial Shock Trooper fired his rifle at the JINN only ot have the bullets reflect of its armour. Made of reinforced Titanium Alloy it could take a direct hit from a rocket Launcher and still be left standing. There were several Spartan-IIs nearby. "I am the 9012 JINN at your service." It said to Lambada Leader.

Lysira appeared on top of the ONI robot. she put in a data pad and downloaded the nano virus into it's system.

"Hello again Ackerson... I want to talk to you... You haven't been sending any more of your spartan squads to pursue after Kunzite's failiure to capture me on installation 06... Sigma was weak... who do you have train them?" she looked at Lamda sqaud. She waved the spider drone off it's attack and it came to repair the Wyvern whic remarkably enough was still blinking and moving it's dismembered parts.

"You brought all of this on your self... You shouldn't have taken Mahiru and Michel away from me... you took away their childhood... Now... now I'll take away everything from you..." The empress pulled the data pad away and cleanly cut off the robot's head." Those C-12 bombs were used to make the bomb on the Spitfire's bridge... You keep underestimating your best pupil... to bad it had to be this way... I could have been a powerful ally..."

Lysira sarris looked at her Wyverns... the remaining three came up behind her aiming at the Lambda spatans and Francis 001.

"You all could have been so much more than dogs for Ackerson... Where did he take you all from? Paris IV? Rebel colonies? Reach? No matter... I will give you fool one last option..." she said as her Imperial guards uncloaked and her troopers came flooding in. "Throw down your weapons. she said in a whisper.

A Wyvern grabed Francis from his place and threw im over it's back. Lysira stopped the Wyvern.

"A demonstration on Imperial Tech." she pulled a spider mine from the Spider drone and grabed a dead marine with her psionic powers and placed it on his back. Then she grabed a canister and forced the dead noncom into it. "This has the same endurance as your armours..." she kicked the can away and it blew from the inside out. "There is one of Dave and on Francis. Now come..."

She gestured for them to follow her as she made her way to the staging area from hanger 6.

Akira now extreamly mad locked everything out to Michel's neural net. Now the damn Delta AI has to hack into Michel Which it can not do. Now pleased she and the other AIs began to purge the original with extream prejeduce.

The AI called Fuji began locking everyrhing to Lysira's personal datapad. It would be like getting into the dyson spere on Onyx whch should be completly sealed now. Fuji is a master at locking things and hiding. Bloodstar 19:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

The JINN looked and saw a Wyvern bieng repaired. if it could smile it would. The JINN transfered a virus from itself to the Wyvern. The Wyvern was now under the JINN's control. The Wyvern slowly transformed into another JINN. "Go and kill anything that might attacl the hangar." The JINN said to the new one. The new JINN moved forward towards the attacking Imperials.


 * Keep it moving men." The lieutenant said to his company. He looke around as the new JINN cut off his head. It opened fire with its silenced 20 MM machine Gun quickly killing the emtire company. it moved forward and saw the entire legion of attackers. It attacked. Within minutes all of them were dead. It went up to the Wyverns and turned them into more JINNs. ONI tech that was unparalled thanks to the infor downloaded form the Archive and Halo control rooms. They moved forward The more Wyverns that fought them the more JINNs would appear. Soon they would have enough strength to take down the entire IMperial Fleet in orbit.

9012 went up to Francis and Dave. He instantly removed Spider Mines from them without the mines exploding. It turned toward the Empress and then vanished. It must get rid of the naon virus the only way it could.

"So we brought you a little present Iota 5," said Taiyo. "What is it ammo, explosives, troops, guns?" asked Iota 5 "We got 200 pounds of C-12 for you guys to use," he said to Iota dropping 50 pounds of it at his feet., "Thanks, but i got a surprise for you to," "What is it" "You are going to go up to the Archiac Memory and kill off the remaining crew," "How many are left?" "At least 100 crew," "Do I get any men to go up with me?" "Sure take as many as you want," "I'll take my squad and one ODST with me," "Ok take them and put on some ODST armour," As the Omega S Squad prepared to leave a elite walked out of the crowd around them. With him he had a girl of no less then 10. The girl carried a jin halberd on her back.

"I have with me the Prophet Child the one who win this war for us," proclaimed the elite. "We have no time for your Prophet mumbo jumbo we must send these people in to space," said Iota 5 to him. "Fine i will tell you about her later," The elite said disheartedly. Omega S Squad then got into their pods and were lauched out of the hanger back into space. They spead thourgh space until they reached Archiac Memory and crashed into the chared hull. They broke thourgh and landed in one of the many corridors that were in they ship. As they got out of the pods their oxygen atmosphere reader told them there was no atmoshpere in the hall they continued along the hallway as they reached the end they opened the door to find 10 crew members trying to fix power on that floor of them ship. They had oxygen tanks so they could still breathe as one of the crew reached for his pistol Kayne shoot him through the head. Taiyo then pulled out his large sword and quickly decapited two more of the crew members. Alecski pulled out one of his liquid nitrogen grenades and tosed it in the middle of the rest of the crew. Taiyo ran back as the grenade exploded either freezing main organs of the crews bodies or freezing the ones closest to the grenade solid. "10 down 110 to go"

Lysira grabed Dave away from Francis preventing him from touching it.

"You fool only the S-III Nicole could remove that... She is an expert at this." she pushed Dave into a Wyvern who tossed him into the open area and fired on him.

"Anyone else wants to try doing something?" She lifted up Dave and put him on top of the Wyvern carrying Francis.

Spider drones began abushing these JINN and hacking into inserting the Nano Virus. The began dismantling every other one and piced the ones they wanted to control at random. Nothing can go up with out being ruined.

The JINNs immidiatly destroyed the Spider Drones and repaired themselves. The Forerunner tech that no other race, not even some of the foreunners themselves had ever known about. 9012 eliminated the nano virus and returned hi mass to its original form. It remembered how he was made from an old computer terminal. he woudl destriy the ones who called themselves the Dragon Empire simply because the ones called the UNSC made him stronger, faster, and deadlier. He faced the Wyverns and quickly destroyed them before infecting them. This Empress Lysira would not get away. He would destroy her and meet up with any other foreunner tech that might still be left.

"9012 fall back." Said a voice over the comm. "I will be back." The JINN said to Empress Lysira as he flew away with the rest of his kind to the prowler.

The Omega S Squad begean to move up the ship they had already killed another 15 crew members and moving up to the brigde. As Taiyo rounded another corner he shot another 5 rounds in a crew member and ran up with his Chokuto drawn and stabed a crew member in the back and shot another with his desert eagle. Alecski ran past Taiyo and grabed a crewman by the head a broke his neak then turned around and slashed ones neck. Kayne shot three in the head and two in the gut. Joey ran up and cut ones arm off with his Swiss longsword and shot two more rounds in his head and shot two more in the heart. The ODST shot two with his shotgun. "How many have we killed know?" Taiyo asked. "At least 40 now," said Alecski. "Fine let's keep moving then," The squad kept moving up the ship slaugthering anyone who was in their way. They had killed another 20 when they reached the bridge. As they reached the door 10 crewmen came out of the bridge room. Taiyo pulled out his duel silenced derest eagles and shot 4 of the crewmen in key organ. Alecski then ran up and shot 4 with his M4 Carbine, stabed one with the blade from his arm and grabed the last crewmans face and crushed his face in his hand. As they walked onto the bridge the crewmen had already taken up defensive positions. Omega Stealth Squad tossed three Liquid Nitrogen genades in the main places they were hinding. The scearms of pain and the chink of ice told tell they had hit their mark. Shots rang of the door frames and walls as Omega S Squad took cover Taiyo estimated there was 7 crewmen left. Alecski went into a prone position and crawled along the floor and reached the hide out of 3 of the crewmen he grabed one and folded his body in half which broke his spine. He then extended the katana blade which came out of his arm and cut the other crewmens thoarts. At the same time Taiyo crawled over to the other 4 crewmens hidout and sparyed behind their cover in bullets from his KRISS. That took care of everyone on the bridge but what about the commander of this vessel? Then Taiyo spyed the door just closing, the commander had escaped but he won't get far without a ship. Taiyo checked his ammo. He had 3 clips of KRISS ammo and 6 clips of Desert Eagle and 1 liquid nitrogen grenade. Alecski had 3 clips of ammo for his M4 Carbine and 3 clips for his pistol and two flashbangs and 1 liquid nitrogen grenade. Joey had 3 clips of battle rifle ammo and 2 clips of glock ammo and 1 liquid nitro grenade. Kayne had 4 clips for his sniper and 3 pistol ammo and 1 liquid nitrogen grenade. The ODST had 28 rounds for his shotgun and 3 frag grenades.

When Sigma Team got up to greet Lambda Squad, the Imperials dropped in.

"I'd prefer if they give us a couple seconds to get oriented here," muttered Lambda Leader, firing his sniper rifle.

The bullet entered the skull of an Imperial soldier, checking off another potential killer off the list.

"Vitals come first," commented Dave, mowing down another soldier with M7 SMGs, "and I intended that pun."

"Keep the comm clear," snapped Hattie, also opening fire.

D + 02:54:03 \ Location Unknown

Hank stepped into the room marked by his NAV beacon. He stopped in awe. There before him was a giant ball of energy, surging forth from its designated area and melting away some of the walkways that surrounded it. It would periodically rapidly expand outward before slowly recoiling. To Hank, it looked like something straight out of a movie. More realistically, Hank recognized it as some sort of core to a power source like a reactor. Wisps of green energy orbited the deep purple ball as it rippled, expanded, and shrank. The edges appeared to be a light yellow and were partially transparent. When looking at the yellow edges of the orb, Hank could see that the walls were distorted; he could tell from the distortions that the thing was massively denser than the air around him.

“This is why you are here,” a voice Hank surely recognized whispered into his ear. Rather than try and argue or even acknowledge the voice, which Hank was beginning to think was some sort of delusion in his mind from the failed Flood infection, Hank stepped forward. Immediately, he felt the heat of the core and the radiation alarm in his helmet went off. Hank stepped back and looked around, no longer staring at the core. He spotted a pair of suits off on his right (which surely confused him later, as he had not thought this to be a human installation of any sort, though at the time he did not question his luck). Donning one of the protective suits, Hank approached the reactor. Now more fully inside the room, Hank could see that the room had four levels. Each level had a series of catwalks and a big glass window. Hank climbed up the first ladder and went through a door that took him behind the first level window. Inside, he found a large laser and a computer terminal of sorts. He accessed the computer and immediately realized why this was a problem. Across the screen, in big bright red letters it read “WARNING! Core containment unit offline.” Hank accessed some files and managed to determine that the lasers were the containment unit. He went over to inspect the laser. The thing was about as tall as he, and thrice as wide. Hank could tell that some of the wires running to the laser had been severed by, what appeared to be a direct energy weapon of some sort, likely a Sentinel Beam. Hank reattached the wires and watched as the laser powered up and fired a continuous beam into the core. The core brightened to a maroon color and the edges darkened to a deeper yellow-green color; it also wasn’t rippling quite as much, and it seemed to shrink a bit more and expand a bit less than before. Hank left the room and climbed up to the second level. Here, the catwalk came dangerously close to the core. At one point the catwalk was actually half melted from the previous size of the core. Hank dashed across. The catwalk collapsed behind him, but he didn’t stop to worry about getting back down. The second laser was similarly deactivated, and it was easy for Hank to fix. As the second beam connected with the core, it brightened to a brick red and the edges dulled to a spring green, losing some transparency. The third and fourth lasers were easy to reach and reactivate, and soon the core was condensed down to the size of an over inflated basketball and a forest green color. Hank accessed the computer on the fourth level. The core had stabilized, and temporal rifts were no longer being detected throughout the installation. “You have served your purpose.” Before Hank could think to grunt, an all too familiar gold light surrounded him, and as it crackled and faded away, there was only an empty room.

Empress Lysira smiled as the JINNs flew away. Then she turned and saw Francis and Dave gone. The JINNs took them away and disabled the Spider Drones. A bomb blew up as the Wyvern was vapourized.

"Hello Corporal what brings you here?" Delta asked Taiyo. "Not now." He replied. "Well if you wanted to know I can give you access to the entire ship. I have eliminated all AIs that have opposed me and I have gotten rid of their weak virus. I can now cut oxygen to any part of the ship if you ask." Said Delta.

"Hey Delta can you cut the Oxygen to the Hangers and keep the doors shut?" asked Taiyo to the AI. "Of course i can Corporal, Commencing operation now," said Delta. Taiyo walked over to the window and looked out at the battle in space outside. Suddenly the door burst open and the Commander burst in with 20 crewmen weapons draw. The Omega S Squad jumped behind cover and started to fire at the troops. As the Squad systematically started to kill off the attacking force. After half of their force was wiped out they crewmen tried to retreat Delta closed the door extremely quickly and cut a crewman in half the others standing at the door were quickly shot down and the Commander was quickly secured with Taiyo's Chokuto to his thoart and the last crewmen on the bridge was shot execution style. "Corporal all hostile enemy forces are exterminated all that are left is this human," said Delta "Now what are you going to do Commander," said Taiyo as he slit his thoart.

"We are recieving a data feed from the Delta copy,sir" Will reported "Good, give your analysis of the data" Fleet Admiral Stephen Chow ordered "Sir, Coherent with the data the only way to 'escape' this slipspace, would be to jump heat the SF drive engine instantly. Which requires us to heat the reactors to 564% for 5 seconds," "Do it," "But if we do, our sublight drive system will be inoperable for 5 hours," Will frowned as he gave the bad news "So we'd be sitting sucks for 5 hours?" The Admiral cocked an eyebrow "Well, before we execute this manuver, we could charge the MAC guns. But that would require us to heat the reactors for another five seconds,thus knocking out the system for 10 hours or less," The Avatar shrugged "Im sorry,sir. Those are my only options, off the data provided" 5 hours dead in the water, or 10, at the most with 5 shots? the Admiral wondered mentally "Its possbile to plot our exit vector,yes?"

(I'm not out for a week due to some silly sunburn... I also will not be challenged by some ingrate)

Lysira sighed and gave chase. The Spider mines couldn't be taken off... Even if you knew how to you have to take it off with great care and the mines them selves needed an access code to open their backs for the wires. If you just put random codes in or even try pulling of the four legged mine it'll blow up. There for Dave or Francis should have been vaporized... She was amazed by Ackerson. How did he accumulate the funds to creat this JINN? It'd be IMPOSSIBLE to make and it would need alot of money to just create the armour alone and not just the AI required to move it about. Her Wyverns were just dead troopers reborn and made anew. The brain it self was located in the heavily armoured chest area of the Wyvern. The Spider drones. If faced with no other option would self destruct. Unfortunatly she made her way to KUnzite's assault force and joined the battle.

Flood began occupying the bay that had come under fire. The bridge of the Archaic Memory can only be accessed by High Ranking personel and cleared by the AI Akira. Aldaris himself went to go clear the hanger and locked the bridge down tight putting the female hands within on high alert. Aldaris walked towards the bay with twenty sangheili guardians. In their jet black bahamut armor they looked imtimadating. He sent his gaurd in and locked the hanger down. there were unggoy putting out fires and troops firing on anything that moved.

Kunzite's exo-skeleton seemed like a metal angel compared to the imperial grey and red colored ones. He saw his three children... ONI had made them into god like figures but they were tired after Beta Company had fallen. They wanted them to be known for their sacrifice.

Madaline wanted that and she convinced the entire Omega Company to rebel. Their first mission was to board a super carrier called Archaic Memory. But Lysira had a better idea after recovering two teams and then a suvivor of Team ARC. This story will be told some other time.

Mimi, her self led the other eight spartans into battle; Michel, Nicole, Seth, Jesiah, Ophelia, and Mahiru. Her Omega Company spartans and then The Sigma ONI spartans in the Mk 7s, Riku and Ocean. These were her spartans. She and her spartans had made plans like the Dazzle and Twinblade. She fired her MA5C at a UNSC soldier. Their force had been cut in half thanks to a surprise explosion. Then they saw the Archaic Memory docked in what looked like hanger 12. It's grav lift activated as the bottom piece platform hit the floor.

"Inside! The Memory has intruders!!" Kunzite bellowed over the comm.

"Alright! SPARTANs in first! Imperial Legion Gemini next followed by Leo, Serpentarius, and Virgo!" a commander said.

They came in as defences were set up in the meantime. Auto-guns and troopers as well as five Wyverns.

"5 of you, go and aid Miss Sarris" the Monitor exlaimed, turning to face his Sentinel Captains, "And all of you, go to Kunzite" he said again, turning to his Sentinels.

They all were teleported away immediately, and there was now complete silence in the dark hallway, save the hum of the Monitor himself. --117649AnnihilativeRepentance 20:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

"Hey you are helping us! That is sooooooo awesome!" Mahiru began "But the battle is ours. We do however have some intruders so we are shutting down main power and using the aux power since the computer run on main that pesky AI will be no use... Why do you glow purple?" she poked at 117649 AR

"There are other humans boarding the ship corporal should i do something?" asked Delta to Taiyo. "Yes lock them all in a corridor and open the bridge window we are getting of this ship," Taiyo said as he locked the nuclear mine in place on the bridge controls. "Anything else Corporal?" asked Delta " Yes send this ship into space and come into my helmet," said Taiyo. As the ship started to move the Omega S Squad jumped out of the window of the bridge and watched the flagship as it floated away. "Roadrunner, Roadrunner come in," said Taiyo into the radio. "This is the Roadrunner what is it. "As soon as the Flagship Archaic Memory comes out into view far enough from the archive shoot everything that you have at it also get the Arizona to do the same," said Taiyo. "Roger that Corporal," As the ship flew off back into space Omega S Squad take defensive positions and called for backup to get the hell out of the hanger.

"Good to see you again Francis"

"Thank colonel, I was on a prowler to remove a spider mine. Where are my squad?"

They are WIA onboard the Road Runner but you need to focus on your work."

At this moment the regiment of the Road Runner was about to stop a whole legion of Covenant loyalist send to stop the UNSC-Separatist  army. The regiment have a good kill ratio of 1/5. Right at this moment 4 Separatist phantom land just behind Frank 001 and Richardson with a full platoon of troop to help the marines. "After all they finally send my support unit" said Richardson.

Seeing their empress in danger the six Imperial Frigates and the Lillium and Vigilant Storm fired upon the UNSC Road Runner without hesitation. Then the Ragnorok called off the attack and fired a large lance of plasma at the speed of light at the human vessel. It completly blew the engines away like a hot knife through butter.

"Just at 2.1LY/D sir"

"Do it"

"we have only 1 boading ship on the ship, I send a marines unit with heavy weapons??"

The Imperial squad, Cracker Jack, moved in swiftly putting in an AI they instanty shut down all systems and they began firing on crew and marines with the help of their Lekgolo pairs ( two pairs ).

Another boarding craft hit the Road Runner as the Ragnorok, Delita, and Bloody Heart pursued it in slipspace like wolves hunting a wounded lamb.

Squad Kilo moved in with a Lekgolo pair behind them linking up with Squad Cracker Jack. They weren't about let some ONI like vessel liek the Marathon-class Cruiser Road Runner get away. Ifit wre ONI they would plant a anti matter bomb. If not they would take the crew and the ship to either the Archaic Memory or the Ragnorok with Ragnos' second in command, Vice Admiral Grigor.

The Spartan group didn't find a thing but they did however got rid of the last copies of Delta and comepletly shut him out of the system with the remainder of the AIs help. That leaves five. That group excluded Akira because she existed in Michel's Neural Net. The Assault force left the hanger with the Archaic Memory and began to clear out the Archive with the help of the Monitor's sentinal captains.

The Imperial squad Cracker Jack acknowleged squad Kilo. Now they had six Lekgolo and 20 troops. A large Imperial Lance... The conversed onto the bridge. They had never landed in the hanger to begin with so they generally avoided it. The AI named Vili, depicted it self as a casino bunny girl. She her self kept busy with copying important files and stalled the enemy by freezing up their AI and Navigations. She shut down the ship's access helm and turned it around towards the Archive exiting slipspace. The boost from slipspace would force the drifting pile of bolts to hanger 19. Cracker Jack and Kilo busted into the Road Runner's bridge...

The Covenant vessels fired upon the nuclear missiles. The oen human vessel, Delita, pulled away to return to the fleet. The Ragnorok released two phantoms to tow the Road Runner

"Freeze UNSC scum! Get away from those consoles! Major we're inside and cleared a path. Vili shut down main power to the ship's consoles. Peterson! Extract Vili and escort her to the Memory... quietly. You two Lekgolo go with him." a Sergeant said.

"Yes sir! Come on you two!" Peterson said, gesturing the Lekgolo pair to follow him to where they inserted Vili.

"Now... Who is charge here?!" the sergeant said as the other four Lekgolo came in smashing the ship's weapon's console.

The lekglo fell down dead as MAKO-class attack drones shot it with silenced machine guns the sergeant and his superiors soon followed. The continued until the entire Imperial force attacking the Road Runner was dead. Saul Kotor stepped in. "Excellent. Open fire on the attacking single ship!" He ordered. The ship was now under UNSC control again.

Iota Five looked through his binculars at the Imperial Legiont that was just a kilometre away. "Change to thrity degrees left. Fire!" He ordered as the artillery opened fire. Shells fell toward that Imperial Legion causing havoc among their ranks. When the firing stopped there were one hundred Imperials left. Paratroopers flew down and quickly killed the remaining troops. A Wyvern opened fire killing ten marines but it was soon destroyed by two marines with rocket launchers. They were back and are ready to take on anything that came their way.

A HORNET nuclear mine exploded destroying an Imperial Frigate. The UNSC Nightmarish Shadow detonated more quickly destroying the ship attacking the UNSC Road Runner. Then almost as soon as they appeared they left without a trace.

SPARTAN-091 leveled his assault rifle at the attacking Imperial troops. If that Legion got close enough to back up its brother Troopers, the UNSC force would be entirely destroyed. Somehow, he had to prevent the two groups from linking up. He glanced around the giant room that the artillery and Iota 5's command was in.

Juliet coughed at him. "To the left there, hotshot."

Jared glanced in the indicated direction and spotted the enormous coolant pipe that ran vertically along the side of the wall. Perfect! He grunted his thanks to Juliet and waved Iota 5 over.

Sir, we need to keep that Legion away. I recommend shelling position five-one-niner. It'll hopefully knock the pipe right in front of the rebels."

Iota 5 agreed and turned to the artillery gunners, ordering, "Lay down continous fire on that coolant tube! Bring it down!"

With the roar of a million thunders, the six howitzers lobbed their 150mm projectile towards their target, shattering the ancient metal. A wrenching sound echoed through the massive chamber and the pipe collapsed across the room, effectively sealing the UNSC off from the charging Imperials. A rush of coolant flew in both directions, swamping the combatants in super-cooled blue liquid.

"Let's get out of here!" Iota 5 shouted to the fifty-three remaining Marines, shaking the blue goop from his combat boots. Together, they left the blocked room and began to look for another way to getto the Archives.

SPARTAN-091 took point, making sure the passages were safe for the less-armored Marines before letting them through. No resistance besides the widespread Flood infestation was found, thankfully. Iota 5 looked around at their current location, remembering where they had come from.

"Through here," he motioned. The UNSC platoon emerged on a light bridge hundreds of feet above the Arcchive. Below them the Dragon Empire clashed with the hordes of Covenant Loyalists that had arrived.

Now what? Jared wondered.

The UNSC California moved into position. Its target: The Imperial Frigate Delita. The Destroyer moved into position around the frigate and heated up its MAC gun. The Delita seeing the California preapred ot fire back, but before it could even load an archer missile the California fired. The MAC round tore through the hull of the frigate blasting it into oblivion.

Iota One stabbed an Imperial Shock Trooper in the back of the head with the bayonet attachment on his S2 AM Sniper Rifle. Iota Five had ordered him to gather info on the Imperials and kill of any Imperial Sharpshooters that may be in their ranks. He surveyed the area and made his report.

"This is Iota One and I have assesed the enemies tactics. They appear to spearhead the assault through the use of Wyvern Assault Droids. Take caution when dealing with this threat. I suggest that we litter the area with LOTUS anti-tank mines and place machine-gun nests in the surrounding area. We should find a place to camouflage the howitzers so they will not come under heavy fire by the enemy. They have no sharpshooters within their ranks but have massive numbers. We should also bring in more howitzers just in case some of them are destroyed. Iota One. Out." Iota One moved back to the UNSC position and prepared for battle.

Five Thousand marines came in Pelicans to backup the UNSC forces in the area.

Aboard Supercarrier; Archaic Memory.

117649 Annihilative Repentance saw the Reclaimer as it kept throwing questions at him; how tiresome. He simply teleported onto The Archive, new Sentinels streaming from underground entrances, all sharing the steady hum of the Forerunner hovering devices.

Two Sentinel Colossuses emerged as well, their large hulking forms concealing multiple Sentinel Launchers on their sides, the 7 beaming lights in the front blinding to the Human eye. There were 2 Sentinel Captains still with him; the rest had gone to help the "Empress," and many of his Sentinel Majors had gone to help Admiral Kunzite.

Countless scrapes and scuttles could be heard just below the surface, and the next second, a gigantic crater opened up, Flood spilling from it in great hordes, their tentacles quivering with excitement to kill; the battle was only beginning, and the Monitor knew it all too well.

In bridge of Marathon-class cruiser; UNSC Juggernaught.

"You know how ta pilot a Human ship?" Fregol asked 'Ledelonee; he nodded, and Coed sealed the door leading to the main other part of the ship; it was still infested with Flood.

"What about the Flood?" 'Evrolomee asked Coed, who was lifting a spare chair and laying it down next to the command chair, "We'll deal with em' later. Right now, we have to figure out how to get this thing working..." he answered, going over to the seemingly dead consoles and re-arranging various wires of many colors underneath the screens.

"Damn, how do I cut this?" Coed said to himself, trying to break apart a solid metal cord, "Allow me to assist" 'Ledelonee answered, getting out of his uncomfortable human chair and cutting the cord clean with his energy sword.

"Thanks" the Captain said, and the ship buzzed to life; the lights went on, consoles once again hummed, computers started up; the Human and Covenant soldiers behind the group relaxed.

The bridge of the UNSC Juggernaught was a seemingly safe haven for the survivors of Installation-07, although they still preferred the nice open halls of the Eternal Peace.

A Warrent Officer and a Marine were holding hands, others cleaned their armor and weapons of blood, the Elites spoke to eachother in what UNSC Marines nicknamed "Wortish".

The grunts were all dozing off, Hunter pairs reciting relaxing, peaceful poetry as the giant old cruiser floated into the air, and silently drifted towards the Eternal Peace.

As the Archaic Memory flew out into open space and Taiyo then pushed the detenator Archaic Memory's engine started to bulge and The back of the ship exploded. Taiyo smiled as he watched the crippled ship float out in space.

The Covenat Sepritist Elite named Ughamy was tried of waiting to talk to Iota 5 so he and the girl he had with him had left and were heading over to the middle of the Archive. As the walked 5 Flood combat Forms jumped infront of them. "Mr. Uggie don't waste your ammo on these ... things," Said the Prophet Child. She pulled out her Jin as the blade started turn black she decapited the first two Flood and then cut another two in half then jumped on top of the last Flood and stabed it right through its body. As they continued along the walkway they came to a door that needed and palm scan to open. As the Prophet Child put her hand up to it the door open. "That was easy Uggie," said the Prophet Child. "Yes indeed Prophet Child," said Ughamy. "I told you to call me Sakura," said Sakura. The walked in and they heard a voice. "You have arrived Child," said the voice. "I have arrived Father," said Sakura in a slightly lower voice. "We shall go to the first location then," Said the voice as the lights turned on Ughamy saw it was the Super Computer on the Archive that was talking. They felt the room shake and they walked up to a room with alot of buttons and huminoid type robots sitting at console. As they walked in the Huminoid Robots came to life. "Commencing launch, " said as they began to tap the consoles.

Out on the Archive and in Space they saw something that surpised some of them the Archive brgan to spilt apart. Then a ship began to come out of the middle as it drifted out the front end of the ship opened up.

"IMP 990 Canon ready to fire," said one of the Human Shaped Robot. "Tagerting the fleet in our way, Tagert locked," said another. "Fire," said Sakura. Outside the Ships backside had a large green ball at the back then bolts all around the ship sunk in and the canon fired. A large green beam came out of the front and hit the rebel fleet. As soon as it hit a explosion the size the Archive consumed most of the fleet. It destroyed 4 frigates, 2 assault Carriers and damage a Super Carrier. "Canon fired a 25% completed, waiting 1 hour to cool down," said a Huminoid Robot. Then the ship dissapeared.

As Taiyo watched the beam go across space he felt the Archive spliting apart. "Hey you were the one who called for backup?" asked someone. Taiyo turned around to see Sergeant Frost standing behind him. "Frost i didn't know you were here," said Taiyo. "Ya we can talk later let's get out of here first," said Frost As Omega S Squad and Sergeant Frost's Platoon of ODST started to move of to Hanger 10 where the UNSC Arizona is docked.

Seeing her new guard, the sentinel captains, come to protect her. She had a flashback then... it hurt. She shook it off and walked to the Memory's bridge. She fell to her knees and began to cry. All of this could have been avoided if Ackerson had not taken her twins away. Michel and Mahiru didn't have to be like this... and all becuase of her blood... Aldaris watched her from his spot on the command platform. He turned his attention to the female staff. Both Lysira and Akira prefered them... they were like him. They called their type of experiment Coordinators. People who can work the controls of a exo-skeleton and move with such refelxes that it seemed near impossible. It was tested and they failed. Ad as such doomed to be scraped and killed.

Lysira resued most. Few of them did worked and she renamed them Wyvern. Replaced their flesh and bone with metal just like any trooper who signs up. Unfortunate that she only had seven of them left.

The dragon empress stood up. Had she helped create this place in a long forgottn past or was it some relation who did it... After all of this is done she'll ask her new friend...

Hanger 5 held the imperial flagship, Archaic Memory, and also five scarabs and Gerbur's legion. He let down his hood and his troops saw death... He wore a mask... made of some unknown material to hide his face. He looked somewhat inspiring if seen in the right way. The only way up would be through the grav lift he guarded himself. He slipped his hood back on and looked at where the hangers should be on the supercarrier. To cramped in here to enter from there, unless you could sprout wings and fly up to them.

Kunzite led his force in his white exo-skeleton. These robotic power armors coverd the body completly. Only a tank could butt heads with them. They had 50 in all incuding his own. They have four tanks and two cobras. a unit of 5,000 troops and the Spartans. Mahiru linked up after getting her supplies and coming along in a APC. She personally refitted her fathers exo with a gause rifle. These rifles are like gause cannons but have rapid fire and smaller rounds. Nicole did the others and then joined her squad. The spartans pushed foward.

The Spartans drove up to hanger six's entrance and ditched the APC. The two sigma's cloaked and the S-IIIs blended in as the split to ambush the group of UNSC soldiers who had just came in. Ocean looked a dead Imperial in the corner. She could' tell if were alve or dead through her helm. The helmet covered her face as well as the armor making it a multi-purpose armore soldier for space ops or groud ops on worlds they normally couldn't breath in. Cracker Jack and Kilo were no different.

Once in position they waited for Mimi's word.

"Omega! Orca!" though it made no sence to the Sigma spartans the others began fringa and moving making it look like there are 20 s-IIIs in the hanger.

Squad Cracker Jack and Kilo began firing. With the Delita detroyed and the Bloody Heart, that left the Ragnorok firing it's main laser cannon. It was extream accurate. The UNSC had called these ships sniperships. Five pelicans came out of it's side bays and crashed into the Road Runner's bay releasing flood. They came in with a Brainform who hacked into the system as Peterson and his Lekgolo pair extracted the AI Vili and left in their assigned boarding craft. It left the Road Runner and headed to bay five where the Memory had docked.

All of this seemed like a piece of cake. Piss poor odds for that bad guys...

Mahiru left her team mate behind sencing something... she followed this gut feeling and followed a persona named Sakura. If Mimi caught her chasing after another irl she's dead meat! But this is different... she felt weird... feeling was also confusing her. Non the less she silently wraped her arms around this Sakura and ran. Now when Mahiru runs you better believe she RUNS! Like a cheetah too. She easily dodged the person's guards. She made it to her daddy's force and past them as they entered hanger six.

"Hi Daddy! By Daddy!" she said hopping over his Exo.

"Er good-bye presous... Wonder what in god's name is going on... Ok men! Protect the Spartans! Force them to surrender!" the old man said.

Mahiru entered hanger 12 passging the entrance to the staging area where reserved troops camped. She stoped at a door which slid open. Two guards came up behind her and sealed the door to hanger five. Mahiru punched the squirmng person in the gut with her gauntlent.

"Quit strggling!" she said as she passed Gerbur and entered the lift.

She tossed this so called prophet child into an energy cell with a UNSC Ensign and a captain from Kunzite's fleet when they tried to take on the Empire. Boy was that a good battle...

Lysira entered the brig where Mahiru waited for her. She spoke in latin to her new guard. They responded in kind as she stopped.

She wraped her arms around her daughter and whispered something at the side of her helm.

"Alright mummy." she left in her unsual manner.

"Hello Sakura..." she turned to look at her. "We are nearly the same you and I... Perhaps we could be allies if you'd allow it. Though I'd understand why you would say no..." the empress said looking around.

She waved the sheild down and the two cell mates pushed against the wall. Lysira gestured for Sakura to follow.

"Come I have much to show you." she the spoke in latin telling one of the captain sentinels to follow and watch over Sakura and the other to follow her.

"I sence we could become allies... we have a common enemy. The Flood... the UNSC... those covenant... not be specific becuase i don't know what fation you belong to."she said entering the ship's archive. (not THE Archive)

"You are resourceful..." she said grabing the girl's hand.

A Lekgolo pair locked the path to the grav lift and engine rooms fortifying it. Lysira pushed the child ahead of her They made ther way into the ship's library. She grabed a book.

"You should read about us. I croniclize my dreams... what I see... and what happens... Is that why I'm engimatic? We are not rebels... Not anymore..." she said.

"I dremt of of you... this battle Monsiuer Chow... Everyone... My past as well... I... helped to something here... and instalation 06. Nothing makes sence and you have strange blood within you."

Iyin was not pleased in the least. He had gotten on board without being shot to hell, but that was about as good as it got. As soon as he exited the Teraph, the Jiralhanae had descended upon him with their spike carbines blazing. He had killed them, of course; the unearthly speed and resilience of a Flood Combat Form combined well with the tactical and strategic skill of a Full-Commander.

Four dead Jiralhanae littered the ground around him. He picked up a spiker in each hand, hoping that his basic training with the weapon would still apply to his infested form. It did, although he gasped with pain as his hands contorted mercilessly to fit the weapons' grips.

He was well-armed now, and he only had a few hundred more Jiralhanae to cut through. This would be a very, very big problem. Big in the 'dead' sense of the word.

He holstered the spike carbines and looked around for an energy sword. He was a skilled fencer, a requirement for a Sangheili of his rank, and he was anxious to properly see how well his new body could fight with a sword. Sadly, no such weapon was forthcoming. He gave a strangled groan of annoyance, and was immediately annoyed even more by his awkward, mutilated speech. He tried to frown, but his neck was too contorted for him to do so properly. He snarled.

Vensar spoke in his comm, rather sharply. "'Jnunqee, report in. What have you accomplished?"

The Ultra swallowed hard and hoped Vensar could understand him. "I have established a beach-head on the Hunter's Hand. At present, my diplomacy has not had a chance to be applied. I have relied chiefly on violence."

The Major's tone was distinctly icy. "Results, 'Jnunqee. Just because you have been changed by the parasite does not give you an excuse to display any sort of incompetence."

'Jnunqee felt like reminding 'Fenijee that, infested or not, he was the ranking officer, but he never got the chance to. On the hangar's main status monitor, a three-dimensional sensor readout of Rise of Darkness was being displayed. At least, it looked like Rise of Darkness. But he was sure he could see a human frigate, too, and maybe a carrier of some kind as well. And it was impacted on the surface of the ancient installation that had brought him here.

But that was not the worst. The three ships, as well as a substantial part of the Archive, were covered with...well, something.

"Excellency?" 'Jnunqee whispered tortuously. "I think you had better see this."

Yoshi was at a security terminal when something flashed by a camera. Before he can examine the scene, the security monitor flickered, and the signal to the security camera was lost. The Spartan turns off the terminal, shutting off all of the security systems. There's no need for them now. It's a matter of time before resistance arrives.

He reunited himself with the rest of Lambda Squad, all whom stroked their index and middle fingers across their visors. Yoshi performed a similar gesture, then shook his head. Something is terribly wrong...

'Twassee moved with his unit to the rendevous point. He was supposed to meet Special Operation Commander 'Pudmee there. He looked around the corner to see a platoon of Imperial Shock Troopers. Not good. If he attacked head on they would fight back and he might lose a few soldiers or they could call in their legion for backup. Stealth would have to be used here. He ordered the stealth elites to move behind the platoon and silently kill them with enerby swords. They moved and slowly made their way through. When about ten of the Imperial Shock Troopers were left one of them tunred around and saw the floating energy swords. The Imperial Shock Trooper was about to shoot when 'Twassee and his main force charged. By surprising them they had just enough time to kill the Imperial Shock Troopers without any dead troops. "Come on! We must move before anyone else comes along." Ordered 'Twassee to his men when a Minor Domo Sanagehili and Imperial Honour Guard Sangehili charged with energy swords. 'Twassee was quick to move and easily killed the minor. He then parried the honour guard's blade and pulled out a second one which he used to kill his opponent.

They had finally reached the rendevous point which was also a human command post. They were under attack but 'Twassee's unit arrived just in time to save them. Shells fell from they sky onto the attacking Imperials and machine guns mowed them down. Their massive force seemed to be gettin through though. "Wraiths open fire onto those hostiles! Prepare for combat. I want the banshees to flank the enemy with their fuel rods!" Ordered 'Twassee to his troops. Arcs of plasma flew towards the Imperials and they were quickly caught in the pincer. When only five were left they were quickly knocked unconsious and taken prisoner. During interrogation they revealed that a massive force of 40 000 Imperials were nearby fighting the Loyalists. They could use this information to badly damage the Imperial force. The UNSC was no longer defending and retreating. Now they were on the assault.

"Aim the RYNO at the Imperial company that is guarding a convoy of Shadows." Ordered Iota Five to the crew of the RHYNO artillery. They had only two so they must use them wisely. The gunner fired and they watched as the 20 centimetre shell destroyed several shadows. The Imperial forces were in dissary. In order to make sure that they did not get any more casulties msot of the jumped into the crater that had been formed from the impact. The crew fired again. The shell destroyed the front of the formation. In a few more shots they convoy could be obliterated. A Wyvern saw were the last shot had come from and was heading in the direction of the cannon. Another shell was fired and the Wyvern was destroyed along with the final Shadows. All thta was left were the soldiers taking cover in the shell holes. A few more shots and the entire company was destroyed. They moved the RHYNO to an undisclosed location in order to hide it.

An old man came up to the Empress and Sakura. He sighed and looked at the child's eyes.

"If you can not trust Lysira. You can not trust your self. You may not see it but her excellency is albino and fears bright lights and the sun. You on the other hand rely on others. The Admiral, Kunzite Gem, is blind yet he moves foward using keen sences... Does The empress sound evil as the enemy depeict her? Quite not. She is the angel of life first and then the angel of death second." the Oracle said. He too his mask off and put the strangely designed mask on the child. "Just concentrate..."

Aboard Supercarrier; Archaic Memory.

"Now now... is there really such a need for violence?" 117649 Annihilative Repentance muttered to himself after he teleported himself back on the Archaic Memory, watching the girl "Sakura" try and strike down a Sentinel Captain.

Its shield flickered for about a second, but overall the attack did not phase it in any way. What it did accomplish though, was causing the sword to veer off its course and slice in half a nearby Imperial Trooper.

The Monitor sighed and floated down the corridor, seeing his Sentinel Captains and three figures; an old man, the Reclaimer Sakura, and Lysira Sarris. Lysira and Sakura were quarreling as it seemed, and the old man handed the Reclaimer girl a mask.

"Well then, what do we have here?" he finally asked, moving up to the group, Sentinel Captains immediately hovering towards him in a circular defense position; what a tiresome routine...

''Aboard Marathon-class cruiser; UNSC Juggernaught. In high orbit above The Archive.''

The green bolt of plasma brightly illuminated the hallway, falling into a group of Flood; causing them to explode into large meaty chunks.

Captain Coed and Councilor 'Evrolomee had both agreed to use Hunters to scour the ship and remove any Flood presence, as they could not be infected. The Hunter pairs moved throughout the ship, and within a few hours, or what felt like a few hours, as time had not yet reset, the Flood were completely purged from the cruiser.

The only remaining clues that there had once been an infestation were large chunks of sickly rotting, charred meat and flesh, smoking in the halls of the ship. Marines were dispatched to get rid of the foul smelling debris, and they simply burned it away to a cinder.

"How I love the smell of a good barbecue!" a marine exclaimed as he burned the chunks of meat with his M7057 Defoliant Projector Flamethrower.

Broken, eerie echoes could be heard throughout the ship; the marines had cooked up a rumor that the old Human crew still haunted the place, but the higher ranking officials knew better; it was simply Agildor repeating his routines, still oblivious to the fact that the AI's previous owner was dead.

'Evrolomee silenced the COM, and the echoes could no longer be heard; it was such a nuisance.

Sakura reached for the mask took it and put it on her back. "You all sound trustworthy you must look so to," she said as she smiled. "So will you join us?" asked Lsysira. "Yes i have thought about it and all my sense say yes," said Sakura. "That is wonderful," said Lysira. "Just could i have my weapons back then put me on the surface of the Archive," said Sakura.

In systems of Supercarrier; UNSC Spitfire.

Lagedon entered the systems of the UNSC Supercarrier, and greeted the first AI he could find. "Hello there, Will"

Onboard Supercarrier; Archaic Memory.

The Reclaimer accepted the mask from the old man, and agreed to become allies with Lysira Sarris.

117649 Annihilative Repentance dismissed the circle of Sentinel Captains, and they hovered back to their original positions, while the Monitor floated up to Lysira.

"Who is this girl?" he asked, "She tried to assault one of my Sentinel Captains. Please, explain" Repentance finished, the pulsating circles of purple light from his diamond shape silently dissipating into the air.

The Empress opened her mouth to speak, and Repentance floated in place to listen.

Aboard Marathon-class cruiser; UNSC Juggernaught.

The Juggernaught drifted through space, and approached the Eternal Peace, linking at the bottom to create a strange hybrid ship; this would double their dexterity and fire power.

"Good plan" the Lt.Colonel exclaimed, looking at 'Ledelonee, who looked pleased. "Thank you" the Elite replied, mandibles flexing and moving about; they were finally returning to their home.

"Lagedon?" Coed asked, but instead of the actual AI, there was an automated response; "Welcome back Captain Coed, I trust that your mission went well?" the recorded message asked, Coed replied yes.

The message continued; "I am currently not here at the moment, I have gone to the Spitfire to call for help to return to earth. Don't worry though, I've left automatic routines to ensure combat safety, sustain life support, and I have left the ship on manual for you."

The Captain understood Lagedon's action, and was at least glad he had left the ship on manual control; it wouldn't be much use if there was auto-pilot; it wouldn't know where to go.

"I wonder where the little tin can went? He just sort of... disappeared" Fregol said out loud, and the entire group wondered where their favorite purple diamond had went. They had forgotten all about the Monitor in their fighting on The Archive's surface.

"Well, let's just hope that we can get back to earth" Coed said, and then he gestured at 'Ledelonee and 'Evrolomee, "As for you, I'm sure we have room on our planet for some Seperatists" the Captain finished, and all the Covenant warriors present nodded appreciativly.

The Hivemind felt a large blast hit his form, and he immediately regenerated. He cocooned his primary part in a large shell of organic material, and wondered exactly what was hindering his transformation of the structure...

The Loyalist Agricultural Support ship Glorious Might moved through space. A single phantom flew tpwards it. They opened up their hangar bay thinking it was more crew members. They were dead wrong. When the Phantom came in it fired onto the grunts in the hangar. It hen began dropping infection forms throught the ship. Hivemind's army was bieng made. The support ship went on a collision course with the Ragnorok. Thousands of combat forms made up of the animals from the support ship entered the Imperial Super Carrier. They quickly killed the forces that met them. Those forces were quickly infected by the infection forms that came next. Hivemind's army moved through the ship. The crew tried multiple times to control them but it was in vain. Finally he captain, senior crew, seven Imperial Shock Troopers, and three Imperial Honour guard elites were hold up in the bridge. It would take a miracle to survive but even if they, did the Ragnorok had barely enough crew to  operate the bridge.

"We need to get over to Hanger 10 pronto the Arizonas there for evac," said Frost. "There is a shortcut but we have to go through some buildings," said Taiyo. As Omega S Squad and the Heavy wepons platoon moved into the first building of many that they had to go through to get to Hanger 10. As the walked into the first building they saw it was a filing building full of memory chips. As they entered bursts of red plasma shot around them. As everyone went for cover Alecski grabed a flashbang grenade over to one of the place which fire was coming from. As it exploded the brutes came out of their hiding place stunned as soon as they did that Alecski was over them. He jumped on the first ones head crushing his skull and snapping his neck he then grabed two other and crushed their skulls together dropped them and then grabed one more brute and pulled its head under it legs and over again. Taiyo then took his Desert eagles and jumped over the turned over self that stood between him and the brutes. As he jumped up a shot of plasma hit him in the leg and he fell. As he fell he shot the brutes in key places of their bodies. Sergeant Forst then took his XM214 Minigun and shot the retreating brutes. "They were already here expect a fight."

The door to the bridge opened and three human combat forms moved through. The commander of the ship killed them quickly with his M6C Magnum. An Imperial Honour Guard Elite moved forward but was quickly impaled by one of the animal combat forms. Another Honour Guard cut the massive creature in half with an energy sword but was blasted back by three combat forms with shotguns. An Imperial Shock Trooper threw a grenade near the last Honour Guard who was injured vapourizing him along with the rest of the dead bodies. The remaining crew threw grenades and closed the door. When the door opened there was nothing in sight. An Imperial Shock Trooper looked around to see if the area was clear so they could find a way out. He went flying as an animal combat form slashed him. Infection forms flooded through the bridge. The crew opened fire into them. Popping sounds were made as the attackers were slowly pushed back. The commander threw a grenade at them. He smiled, but before he could do anything an infection forms leaped into one of the Imperial Shock Troopers and he opened fire at the other crew members killing five of them. More Infection forms came into the bridge and quickly overan the crew. The commander put his M6C to his head and blew it right off. Even though the flood captured the bridge they could not have the commander and the ship would fail to function.

Belisarius stalked painfully around the perimeter of the command center. Eleusus was wearing a medical-issue grav-belt to spare his broken leg; Severius and Cassius were dead; Epimetheus had still not come online. The ship's primary adjutant AI, Dentha, was taking direct control of most of the ship's main functions as various Jiralhanae scrambled to fill the empty consoles. The Huragok had started working on the impulse engines, but it was a big task, and a slow one. They would be lucky to get full power back before the end of the cycle.

Sighing, he punched engineering up on the holoscreen. "Is Epimetheus available?" he asked wearily.

The Submachinist shook his head. "No, excellency. Nor will he be. He sustained plasma burns on most of his body when his main command console detonated. There were no medical teams in the immediate vicinity. I am sorry, excellency."

Belisarius cursed fluently. "Who's in command down there, Submachinist?"

The teal-armored Jiralhanae gave a slow, nervous breath. "Ah...I am, excellency. Acting Chief Engineer Submachinist Athicus reporting for orders."

Belisarius barely restrained the urge to roar. Epimetheus, dead? It couldn't be. The two of them were as close as litter-mates; they'd fought together since their youth. And now this wet-eared cub was taking over? He spat viciously on the floor. "Negative, Submachinist. I will send Subcommander Alexandrus down to take control. I need you up here on..." he quickly scanned the room, "defense console. Eleusus, take helm," he ordered the injured officer.

The Submachinist opened his mouth, then shut it again. There was really nothing for him to say. Disobedience did not entail death in the Covenant. Disobedience was death.

'Fenijee stared at what 'Jnunqee was seeing. The Archive had never been pretty, but it had at least looked functional at first. Now, what appeared to be an enormous fungus of some kind was devouring it. It looks almost like a Flood Carrier Form, 'Fenijee realized, but...

"This is Fleet admiral Saul kotor,we are ready for a slipspace jump."

"Good luck Admiral."

"To all ships prepar to jump"."

At this time all the 75 ships of 14th nomad fleet where about to jump. The mission of the fleet was to create a defensive perimeter around the platform to stop any of the Impirial or loyalist ship. "To all pilots in all ships we request to your respective hangar,you will be lauch in 3589 seconde dont forget your mission cover this fleet as long as you can, good hunting."

Special Operations Commander 'Pudmee, twenty special operations minors, ten special operations majors, and thirty special operations unggoy flew in a phantom to the Ragnorok. They were lucky because the ship was now under control of the flood and they could take it more easily. the phantom entered the hangar. "Hangar secured. prepare to move out." Said the Minor that lead the assault in the hangar. They could see the Support ship flying away with all of he infection forms. That would make this mission all the easier. One of the unggoy opened the door and saw an animal combat form. he screamed and fired his fuel rod quickly killing the beast. "They know where we are now. Move fast so that we are not caught." Said 'Pudmee. A human combat form charged forward but was cut down by a sustained burst from 'Pudmee's plasma rifle. The unit moved forward through the ship. Soon they made it to the bridge and opened the door. Inside was a brain form which was most likely trying to regain control of the ship. "Unggoy throw a plasma grenade onto the brain form!" 'Pudmee ordered to the unggoy. The blue grenade flew through the air and stuck onto the brain form exploding and green gunk went through the air and splattered on the walls. "Keep moving! We are lucky that we have not recieved any casulties so far!" 'Pudmee yelled to his unit. They had to take back this ship and it was going to be hard.

Taiyo binded his wound and got up. The Squad and the platoon ran into the next building this one was a house. Everyone as soon as they got in went for cover just incase. Behind one table their was a ODST with a rocket laucher and a marine with a shotgun and a ODST with a 20mm grenade launcher. As they crouched behind the table a blue ball fell and stuck to the rocket launcher ODST the other soliders jumped away from the ODST and the solider ran towards the other side of the house as soon as he was halfway across the room plasma shot and brute shots hit him. as he fell the plasma grenade exploded. The rockets he had with him detonated which created a massives explosion in the middle of the large room. They other members of the Heavy platoon threw 10 frag grenades over to the Loyalists side the ones the avoided the blast were quickly shot and the Humans moved on. As they entered the next building they saw it had large covered boxes all over the floor they were about 10' high and 10' wide. As they walked in plasma shots, brute shots, spiker shots and carbine shots rained down on them. As they ran for cover they lost 20 Heavy Weapons Platoon members and Joey got shot twice with a carbine Alecski got shot with a brute shot and was lauched back into cover but only his sheilds were depleted. Everyone else got to cover fast enough.

"Colonel, you have now 1 division of marines and 1 division of odst plus a platoon of spartans."

"Sub-Commander! Close those doorways behind us!" Yelled 'Pudmee. A Combat form's arm was torn off as the door closed. They made their way to the armoury of the Ragnorok and recharged their plasma rifles, fuel rods, and energy swords. The unit moved on to the next room. An animal combat forms quickly shredded the nearest grunt before being brought down by the fuel rods. The unit truned around the corner and a special operations minor was blown back by a shotgun. Several human combat forms moved down the hallway to the unit's position. They were quickly killed by plasma rifle fire. The unit reached one of the hangars to find a combat form made from a brute chieftan. It charged and smashed the nearest special operations minor with his hammer. Grunts fired their fuel rods in an attempt to kill the combat form but, it killed five of them. It turned towards 'Pudmee and charged. 'Pudmee grabbed his energy sword and sliced the combat form in half. "Sub-Commander, take five special operations majors, nine special operations minors, and twelve special operations unggoy and make your way to the hangar to signal pickup from the phantom. I will take the remaining forces and make our way to the bridge so that we can destroy the controls rendering the Ragnorok useless to the flood. This shall split the unit in half so be on your guard for anything that is too dangerous." Said 'Pudmee.

Ragnos awoke and started to feel around. The gravemind moved it's massive tenticle through the halls of the Ragnarok. He then moved another and punched a hole revealing the armoury. It sniffed and Floodlings and Juggernaughts came pouring in.

"Nothing is ever easy... You'll find those plasma weapons depleated... We never did like it..." It said grabing a Shangheili and crushing him. The Bridge is destroyed and I alone control this vessel...!"

Ragnos had the captured Sangheili assimilated and knew their plans. He quickly dispatched his minions in masse. The HAZMAT crew on the other hand hid.

Lysira looked at Sakura. Then the Historian... She then looked at the sentinel captains. She spoke telepathicly with The Lilium's Ship Master Hiro. he told him to send support to the Ragnarok. She turned to the blind child.

"Have made up your mind then? There is no turning back... if you join us so make sure you know what you lose and what you gain..." the empress said.

Lysira walked away montioning for the monitor to come to her.

"117649 Annihilative Repentance? If you can do me one favour... I need you to fire upon the Ragnarok. Unless you see another window to destroy Ragnos. But before you do Lucy will be there and I want you to teleport her if you can, in here. Then destroy the supercarrier... If you need help I can have the Strike Force aboard set a anti matter bomb." she said. "Also this child is... uniqe... blind... but knows what she is doing... do you know which side she came from?"

The problem was not as bad as they all thought. The enemy Flood woud soon be apart of Ragnos' forces. Just incase... A strike force escorting Lucy boarded a controled hanger. Two Wyverns made sure the Flood didn't come and what Flood were around were assimilating the dead bodies of Imperial forces. Cpt. Olan looked around. He was told to pay full attention to Lucy at all times. Like he cared about a small girl child who just played with a My Pet Blind Wolf. That was his mistake and Lucy's other half awoke and the CO's head fell off. So fast... so clean... the body continued to walk, up until if relized what just happened.

"Ziprep..." she said.

"Uh... th ehe ship is under at attack by the Flood your grace." a Shock Trooper said studdering.

She walked to the door and Floodlings swarmed around her. They formed a wall to protect her. The new combat forms followed her as well and then the imperials brang up the rear.

"All right! Listen up!" a gerneral said.

The staging area went quiet. Every soldier watched the one man as another appeard.

"We just got new tech. Behold the sheild wall!" he said setting a poll on either side of the platform. Read beaks appeard blocking off the stage to te audience.

"It knows whos ally and whos enemy and will only let Imperials and our spartans through it. Your squads' engineers have been given these. At least six. You can block off areas we do not want the enemy to come to now. The sentinels of our new friend can also go through this so do not get spooked."

He moved to two turrets. "The auto guns. Rockets and a machine gun. It knows ally from enemy and has an unlimited supply of ammo. But they aren't that tougth! Rockets and destroy them easily and they are impossible to repair! So don't waste yout time. What they lack in defence the make up in power! They will stop shooting untilt the target is down for good and it uses heat sigs. One more thing... we have a new gun. The Avenger pistol. it has six rounds and is the ideal combat weapon like our new rifle. Alt fire uses burst fire." the instructor said showing off the pistol. "No scope so make sure your a crack shot." he moved to a crate. This is the Combat Rifle. This will be only used by SHOCK TROOPERS do to their armor resistence to radiation. It fires a uranium depleted shards. Nasty to the enemy because it stays in the body and it is uranium... Alt fire", he said pointig to an additonal barrel," fires five shards that scatter on impact on hard surfaces like the needler. On organic targets, it shreds them."

The old man moved to the last thing. A large suit of armor and a rail gun.

"For our Unggoy who feel left out this is an armor designed for you." he poped the hatche open and it was shaped to fit an Unggoy in combay armor. "THIS STUFF IS EXPERIMENTAL! So be careful it may still have quirks. The weapons and armot is perfect but the guns may shoot you by accident. Just don't let the enemy toch it. It can be changed to shoot us and not them easily. The controls are in the back and the emergency shut down for the armor... it doesn't have one. It'll self destruct scattering needle sharp shrpnel every where. BE CAREFUL YOU SOBs. I don't want a repeat on last time I lectured you. Now move out and secure hangers... 10... 1... and... 19. NOW MOVE!" he bellowed shooting making the imperials scatter.

The spartan group hid. Running out of ammo was bad enough. But not killing all the enemies was embarrasing. That just had to wait until Mahiru comes back. But then the Exo-skeletons came in firing. The hanger would now be theres. The Exo's forced he enemy in hanger six into a corner.

'Pudmee left through the phantom dropship. he left a little present for the flood control. The anti-matter bomb was ready for detonation. He was the only one left in the unit that went to the Rangorok but he would not lose. He never lost. the plan was in its final stage.

SPARTAN-091 smashed the back of the Shock Trooper's skull in with the butt of his rifle, his enhanced strength proving once again beneficial. The new wave of Imperials thrust towards Hangar 10 carried new, strange weapons. As he rammed a leopard-fist into the neck of a surprised Trooper, he caught the man's falling weapon. ''What the hell?! A depleted uranium cannon? Where would a splinter group get depleted uranium from?'' Holding both weapons outstretched, he opened fire on the charging rebels. Dozens of lightly-armored Troopers fell, and two shielded Shock Troopers crumpled, spears of uranium sticking from their stomachs.

"Hey!" Juliet cried, "Get under cover! You want to be the next MIA-listed SPARTAN?" Heeding his AI's sound advice, Jared dove for cover behind a ruined doorway as a cascade of enemy rounds clattered against his shields. The audible alarm sounded and he curled into a ball, letting the downed shield recharge. Then, he dug into his ammo belt and chucked his second-to-last HE/DP grenade at the oncoming mass. He followed it with a Shield Blocker, a new grenade he had picked up off of a destroyed Guardian. It effectively blocked enemy fire for an indeterminate time.

Meaning, it goes on forever, Jared laughed to himself as he ran down the corridor to the next door, Let's see them get through that!

In Hanger 10 the Arizona opened fire on the Imperal Troops coming in. The 50mm rounds shot everything in sight as the last Troopers dived for cover. The Arizona loaded a Archer missle and fired it into the Troops as it exploded it vaporized the remaining troops. "SPARTAN-091 you may come out the Hanger is clear,"

Sakura grasped her hand and grabed the mask off her face with a giggle. "I like you people, Uggie is too serious all the time," said Sakura. As they laned on the Archive they had a transmission that The troops in Hanger 10 need help but then the transmission cut of in a large explosion. "They need help there," said Mahiru but she got cut off as they heard a large explosion in a nearby factory.

Aboard UNSC Ragnarok.

117649 Annihilative Repentance listened to Lysira Sarris, and acknowledged it. He immediately teleported away in a spiral of golden light, and re-appeared within the bowels of the Ragnarok, the flood toxins spreading in the air, various Flood controlled both by the Hivemind and Ragnos constantly battling throughout the infested pathways.

The Sentinels around the Monitor began to burn apart the Flood, and in a few seconds, there were only smoking carcasses of rotting flesh. The group continued down into the core of the ship; that was where the two Command Forms' forces fought the heaviest, however, Hivemind's strength to manipulate Flood was quickly overpowering Ragnos.

Soon, the Hivemind would most possibly destroy the other Flood controllers, either that or assimilate them. He saw The Archive from the ship via the ship's sensors, and he saw the gigantic fungus-like growth slowly consuming the Forerunner platform; he corrected himself. The Hivemind would definately assimilate Ragnos.

The Monitor found the girl, Lucy, wondering what was happening, and quickly teleported her into the Archaic Memory, it seemed that the ships in orbit were the only "safe" places in the area. He continued to watch the Hivemind consume The Archive; slowly, piece by piece, like mold on a loaf of bread.

Aboard Supercarrier; UNSC Spitfire.

Lagedon heard Will's response, and quickly answered, desperate for aid. "Well, we've been seperated from Earth for a long time. We have a few Seperatists; one being a Councilor, and Human survivors from Reach. If you could, we require aid in reaching Earth. There is vital information that I have gathered; information that COULD change the tide of this war" the AI finished, nearly out of breath.

He waited impatiently for the response, silently hoping that the wartorn survivors would soon reach their true haven.

Aboard Assault Carrier/Marathon-class Cruiser; Eternal Peace/Juggernaught.

The two "Captains," Captain Coed and Councilor 'Evrolomee, each commanded from their own ship. For Coed, it was the Juggernaught. For 'Evrolomee, it was the Eternal Peace.

The joint ships accelerated forward in conjunction, moving silently towards their destination; the Spitfire.

On/partially part of The Archive.

What had halted his assimilation of the structure, he did not know. But the Hivemind was determined; he patiently waited for the time when that unidentified deity tired, and he would take his chance. Ragnos; he would be assimilated, and the Hivemind would rule supreme over the Flood swarms, ALONE.

But his duty made the choice clear "Sir, I recieved a transmission from Lagedon," The AI reported, and the transmission played

"Well, we've been seperated from Earth for a long time. We have a few Seperatists; one being a Councilor, and Human survivors from Reach. If you could, we require aid in reaching Earth. There is vital information that I have gathered; information that COULD change the tide of this war"

"Lucy is off the ship. Arming anti matter bomb one and two..." a trooper said.

"Roger arming three and four, Jerry get the other ones!" a Lieutenant said.

"Right! Damn flood... Armed and set time... now! Let's get off this thing!"

A Phantom, Grand Arcanum, left the Ragnorok. The super carrier exploded in a massive blast. Ragnos knew why... he had breif contact wth Lucy and forced a great deal of power into her. He always did wonder what death felt like... Now he knows. They all know...

Lambda Squad made an extensive search of the Archive hangar bays, but they found nothing. Yoshi was sure he saw something however, and Lambda Leader believed him. He always has. But, the Spartan leader did not call for reinforcements. It's too risky, and a waste of personnel.

The Archaic Memory left it's hanger and about faced so it could easily escape if need be. The supercarrier coul fire ourward now and defend it's self but just for added protection the hanger doors were sealed shut but Lysira her self.

"Thank you 117649 Annihilative Repentance..." she said picking up Lucy. The two looked stunningly similar.

For the exception of Lysira's albinism and Lucy's salmon hair and red eyes... It could be that the two are mother and child... It was true... Crystal, the original ONI lab subject was made into a powerful tool. A weapon with 20 invisable hands. Only problem was that she was killed... before she could be killed she passed on this genentic nightmare into Lysira. The vectors, as they were called, vibrate at such a high frequentcy they it could cut through even the most strongest capital ship plate armour. The defect of this is that it has a five meter lethal range... In which case she would through objects at high speeds, making them look like and even sound like bullets, just hit a target from afar. The good thing about this is that Lucy has split personas. Lucy... and another... Sge dubbed her Crystal becuase of the original's brutality and lack of humanity. It is best to keep Lucy has calm as possible...

The empress wondered what would happen now. Perimeters were set up and the assault force as well as the spartans had pulled back to hanger 12 or the staging area.

"117649 Annihilative Repentance, if you'd like. The ship's arhive and our history is yours to see. Also what is with that other monitor? I have not see it and... Something is not right... Something large... is... here..." she said sencing the Hivemind. It would be hard but now she had to eliminate all flood within her ops.

"All HAZMAT squads! This is the Empress! Eliminate all Flood forces or cut them off from the staging area and CP. I could use the Archive's sentinel forces Annihilative Repentance..." she said in a whisper.

Gerbur flicked his hands and the legion scattered. Aldaris went back aboard the Memory, wearing his fox mask. Damn council members should stay aboard with the spartans...

Mahiru, when the hanger was cleard out by her spartan pales came in to do what she did best. Assassination. She jumped with grace onto a pillar, letting the SPI do it's job and mimiced the enviorment. She grabed Yoshi and tied a rope onto his foot and up he went!

"Tee hee!" she held onto him after renderng him unconscience. she leaped to a ledge and looked at the other three. "Pssst!" she made her voice travel and made it look like it came from somewhere infront of them.

What fun! she grabed a needle form her kit and threw it with great precision at Lambda leader. It was like fish in a barrel!! She giggled and thank goodness it echoed. She would have given ger position away.

If only her luver were here to just wipe the floor with them. She had no doubt that those ONI spartans could stand a chance in a small room with a besserking Mimi.

A sustaned plasma burst flew at Mahiru. One shot struck her damaging her SPI armour. She staggered back to find out what was going on when she felt a sharp pain at the back of her head. She fell down unconsious. "Good job Commander." Said 'Kodumee as he walked out of the shadows. 'Pudmee deactivated his active camoflauge. He cut down Yoshi and handed him an energy sword. "Let's move out of here now. We got a little surpirse for these guys." Said 'Kodumee as he made the sangehili equivalent of a smile. The UNSC and Separatist forces left the Hangar in a wave of phaantms leaving only a moray space mine. "Come on move it!" Yelled the commander of the attackers to his troops. They took one step and a massive turqoise-coloured explosion wiped out eighty percent of the attacking forces. In the meantime the UNSC had extirminated all Imperial Forces inside of the Archive. They planted thousands of LOTUS mines throught the surrounding area before preparing to fully capture the Archive.

"Surprise!" Michel yelled raming into 'Kodumee

He was enraged... he was so mad... His beloved sister lay on the floor hurt... and he wasn't here to protect his twin. He wiped out an imperial sword and lunged at Lambda Leader. The frigate Event Horizon pulled into the hanger and fired upon the Phantom preventing the spartan's escape. Kunzite's Exo-skeleton column came into the hanger and aimed their heavy gause rifles at Lambda Squad and all cloaked targets. Now they had no choice but to surrender... The hanger doors closed behind the Frigate and it let loose it's personel as more troopers appeared.

"I say we gut'em! It be better than having their minds erased... Is the heir alive?" a trooper said.

"Yes..." Kunzite said. He moved the exo's arm to a blue sheath and pulled out his own sword. There was no escape from their deaths... One of his offspring were hurt... not just any of them but the burtal one...

Mahiru got up slowly and then started to cry. Her head hurt and she was mad. She pounced on the Elite that got her and began pounding on his armor until she left him bloody and dented. The soldiers had to pull her away from him.

Peeps came in as security and placed spider mines on the spartans once the troops had taken away their weapons. The Carrier Dark Requiem guarded the hanger doors making sure this time nothing came in. The covenant carrier fired upon any UNSC or sep dropship foolish enough to even dare come close.

"Let go of me! He ruined my plan!! Let go let go let go!!!" she cried.

Her twin looked away a bit embarresed? No matter she wanted to kill them all... but she calmed down as Mimi came in to see if her lover was hurt or not.

"ろくでなし死になさい!" shouted Hattie, her M7 nozzles flashing ferociously as she put the weapons' automatic fire to good use, shooting at distortions in the scenery, prior to being knocked down by a cloaked soldier.

Lambda Leader staggered as the needle penetrated his light neck armor, its contents draining into his bloodstream. He staggers some, leaning onto his sniper rifle before lying prone on his side. He had enough willpower in him to attempt to radio command, but he only heard heavy static as darkness shrouded his vision.

Dave pulled out a combat knife and made a backwards stab without looking. The blade snapped as it clanged upon metal, but the action revealed a surprised infiltrator, which he greeted with a punch to the face. The enemy staggers, and Dave threw another punch with the hope that this one will finish the job. The punch connected with the wall instead, forming a huge dent. An energy explosion followed, overloading Dave's shields. The Spartan jumped for cover, but he found himself on the ground, punched down by his attacker. Before Dave could retaliate, the infiltrator attaches a collar to the Spartan, rendering Dave incapable of fighting.

Yoshi is the only one who managed to escape, via the means of a second level. To get there, he moved a crate close to a balcony, and used the crate to help boost him up. The jump up also shattered the crate, allowing the Spartan to slip away.

'Kodumee activated his active camoflague and punched Michael in the face and pinned him down. He turned to Mahiru and did the same. he lunged at the nearest Imperial Shock Trooper and stabbed him with an energy sword. He pulled out a carbine and statred to supress the attacking forces. The UNSC Flaming Courage came into the hangar and opened fire with its MAC guns on the enemy frigate. A volley of Archer Missiles destroyed the Imperial ship's weapons. It touched down and picked up the Spearatist and UNSC forces. "Phase One complete. Proceed to the second phase." Said Captain Jacob Martin as they left the battle.

Onboard UNSC Ragnarok.

The ship began to explode, however, this could not harm the Monitor. He teleported his Sentinels back onto The Archive, and the explosion engulfed his form. A few minutes later, he lay there, hovering in space, and not even a scratch on his casing.

He teleported himself back to the Archaic Memory, and from there, he once again accessed the ship's systems, looking on at the growing monstrosity on the platform below.

Onboard Assault Carrier/Marathon-class Cruiser; Eternal Peace/Juggernaught.

"Sirs, we've been hailed by the Spitfire" Fregol said, saluting, "Understood" both of the "Captains" replied. Fregol re-exited the bridge of the UNSC Juggernaught and went to his quarters, enjoying a nice lit cigar.

The hybrid ship drifted slowly to the Spitfire, and halted. All of a sudden, the crew lost control of the ship. "What is this?" 'Evrolomee asked, but then a comforting, familiar voice filled the COM. "Earth, here we come"

Taiyo shot from behind the 10' by 10' by 10' containers he lifted up the cover on the container. He read out loud " Contains Lquid Hydrogen no explosives in the area." Taiyo looked around and thought hmmm rocket lauchers, brute shots, plasma grenade, frag grenades and bullets not good. So he grabed a stachel charge off a heavy trooper and put it on the nearest container. Then he signaled to everyone to leave and they crept out back to the fileing house and closed the door. Then there was a massive explosion as the factory exploded. The explosion speard to Hanger 10 almost destroyed Hanger 11.

What Kodumee did not know was they had a stowaway on board. Sakura quick killed the crew members in the engine room and set a EMP on the electriciy wire. She then headed to where the Imperial troops were being held. As she dropped out of the vents she stabed 4 guard and decapited two others then knocked out then slit the throats of the other guards.

When Lambda Leader regained consciousness, he found a shotgun barrel aimed at his face. The Spartan instantly recognized the invisible gesture as a sign of no struggle. Straining his head from the lock around his neck, the Spartan Leader sees two other forms, one guarded extremely heavily and the other had a guard armed with a sniper rifle held at ready from behind. Hattie and Dave. Obviously, Dave's the one heavily guarded, since he's shwo himself to be a powerhouse in the tussle prior to capture. The other is probably Hattie. Where's Yoshi? Yoshi's form is unique, and Lambda Leader would have no trouble recognizing him in his MJONIR armor, even at a distance. Before Lambda Leader could try looking the other way, his form was knocked on the ground hard from a shotgun butt.

"Keep still."

Now, Lambda Leader wished he had an AI for assistance, but that would be impossible anyways, since these soldiers probably know as much about AIs as they know Spartan body language.

Lysira looked at a tactical rea out of the Archive... The Hivemind proved to be useful after all. She could unite the UNSC/Separtists, Sakura's forces, and her own empire to attack the Hivemind and split the Archive into territories. Would the UNSC let them do this? No they are he kind to want revenge... the Separtists had more reason though. The Monitors themselves have no choice but to fight tis thing. Her forces already had the center under imperial control and as such had the teleporting grids online. She looked at Hanger 6, a Yoshi.

"Kunzite, beloved, move those spartans into the Memory. Leave the other one alone for now... Gerbur run simulations on any possible way for the enemy to assaut this hanger and prepare defence... Mimi, move your group into the defence areas. Reinforce it and prepare yourselves. That is all." she ordered.

"My monitor friend, tell the other to, if he can, shut down the teleporter grid. If the flood hivemind gets a hold of one of you, we are in for it. We also need the Archive's defencsive systems, outer and inner online. Thank you."

Mimi, move your group into the defence areas. Reinforce it and prepare yourselves. That is all." The Empress Ordered.

"You heard her men! Move out. EXOs guard the prisoners. Four spartans up front and four behind. Ocean Riku watch the prisoners." he said.

"Sir we are green. Move out men!" am exo pilot replied.

The group moved back behind the safety of the Satging area. There were more men here than Kunzite's armor column. Hepner came to greet her leader and took the prisoners from him when they got into hanger 12. The imperial spartans forced Lambda squad into three different detention areas. Each guarded by 2 Wyverns, four Spider Drones and a few Sangheili shock troopers and troopers. All heavily armed to the core.

"Akira shut down the gravelift! That way no one comes in and no one gets out. Lock down the bridge and engine room. Command crew access only." Mimi ordered.

"Team Knight will guard the leader." Jesiah said hefting a rail gun.

"Then Team Rapier will guard the one called Dave." Mimi said.

"That leaves us with the only one left... Come on Riku!" Ocean said.

The spartans split up. One group to one birg. Foobar.

"Hey. Heeeeeeeeeeey! Hey you in the half ton armor!!! Lets be friends! OOOH! Cherades!!" she made a bunch of hand signs. "Oh come on say something!"

"No"

Lambda Leader watched as Mahiru tried to communicate with him. But that's not happening. As a response, the Spartan Leader make a fist, and hit the ground as hard as his restraint allowed. Since Lambda Leader is separated by the plasma barrier, he didn't have to worry so much about getting hit by weaponry. He knows help will come soon, but how soon? Lambda Leader didn't dare to pull up the BioStats of his squad. That would risk exposure to the remaining uncaptured Lambda member.

"Sir!! I just remembered something!!" she said allowed.

"What?" he said playing a card game with the guards. Jesiah didn't give a damn about Mahiru but she is important to the boss lady... so he turned to find out what was up. "What is it M?"

"How come we're younger than this guy?" she asked.

"He is part of the SPARTAN two program that or ONI trained like us..." Ophelia replied sharpening her long sword.

"Why did they take us? You guys can't be that bad at killing the covenant. Or are you? You failed and they needed more. They made the Spartan-III program and abducted kids. Under Ackerson's banner it went... We lost two good Companies Spartan! Because you fools couldn't do your job right! Kids! You hear that?!" Seth said punching the plasma barrier. His fist almost went through and his gauntlent payed the price.

"Can I keep him?" Mahiru asked the lead Guard. A Black and gold rimmed Sangheili shook his head. "Oh pooh! I never get anything!"

"Girl you have a cat girl with red eyes! What more do you need?!" Jesiah asked.

"I want a pony... OOOH A My Pet Blind Wolf!!" she said listing things.

Peeps crawled in delivering a note from Mimi. "Mean lady give me this to give to you. She broke arm and said do it so me did!"

"OOOH!!" Mahiru poped her helm off and leaned against Lambda Leader's cell.

Lysira strode into the primary brig. She stoped and looked at Lambda leader. She tilted her head. She looked at her daughter who made faces at him. She tapped her little pink head and pointed away.

"Hello SPARTAN... I am Empress Lysira Sarris. You remember? Hanger Seven? Where is the other?" she asked him pulled up her datapad and showed his team BIO.

"The gravity lift is off so if he does get into this hanger he wont be able to get up here... Also the entrance to the hanger is blocked by a barrier we set up. The hanger doors are guarded by my fleet... Let us talk now and negociate why I should not kill you..." she said grabing her daughter gently and turned her around to show a bruise.

"It is common sence to never make a mother angry... Not even the father. My punishments are far worst then death... Total deletion of the mind... Now speak..." she said.

"Alright mate, explain why we are outside a protective barrier in a three ton exo-skeleton?" an Exo pilot asked.

"Their called Leo's. We are armed with a gause rifle and this thing has sheilding as well. Plus the only way to get in is to contact Hepner." his partaner replied.

"Ah her. She looks 18... young... Think I have a chance?" he asked moving a robitic arm to scratch the metal head.

"Nope. Her eyes are always set upon Kunzite and she seems to shy for your tastes anyway... Hey! What she got that I don't?!" he pilot asked her squad mate.

"Well... erp... I mean to say... your not that... uh... Your to perfect for me! Yeah thats right to perfect!" he said struggling.

"Perfect my ass! Just because she is younger doesn't mean you... argh!! Forget it! Just watch for Flood, UNSC, and those Seps. If they shoot first we shoot second. Got it Danny??!"

"Geez! I got it... no need to scream Kate..." he said.

Charolette Hepner wore the Ice Monarch patch with pride. She may be shy and sensitive but in battle that all changes. She moved a strand of her red hair away from her eyes to look at her check list. Squad one were arguing... about her. Her age is 17 not 18... Kunzite picked her up when he was younger and a pelican pilot. She had stowed away and decided it was time for her to leave her abusive father behind on Harvest.

Kunzite was on harvest testing his skills with a pelican in a canyon near a town. When he had landed and decided to rest he found her hiding in the troop bay under some blankets and ropes. He tried to take her back but she refused by kicking and screaming. So he took her under his wing and hid her in his cabin aboard the Dragonclaw, a frigate on a routine patrol. They left but the following day it was glassed... and Harvest never existed...

She became obsessed with the navy and wanted Kunzite to be her father. He turned her down and said he wanted to be friends... She was welcome in his home and welcome later in the Ice Monarch as a (FAKE) Ensign. She caught on quickly and knew the whole ship like the back of her hand. Then she began to covet Kunzite... Always nice and always there for her.

"Lieutenant! How about you quit day dreaming and open the barrier for the search party!" a guard yelled from behind bunker.

"Oh... uh yes of course..." she shook her head and pressed a button on her personal datapad.

She paused to look at her datapad... It was a screen saver of the crew and it's marines standing infront off the UNSC Ice Monarch. When the crew found her out they let it be. She had become a perminant member of the icy blue butterfly crew. Then she appeared... The so called Empress of the Dragon Empire... She forced ONI to send Kunzite after her. They made him an Fleet Admiral and gave him a fleet. They even got the Sigma Spartans. It was a tactical disaster... They sent ODST in first then marines but the pelicans and albertros' were shot down before they could let out the marines. They were also cornered. No matter what Kunzite tried they stayed one step ahead of them... Then she came and destroyed all but two ships... Ice Monarch and the Ragnarok. The entire crew of the Ragnarok still live, in cells of the Archaic Memory.

She almost killed Her Majesty but Kunzite stopped her with a slap... she felt hurt... But in time she forgave him. Now she serves an Empire and works as Lord Kunzite's right hand... er... woman. She felt wrong though... she pledged an oath to protect the UNSC... not kill it... she is confused... For now she droped it. Kunzite approached her.

"Charolette, why don't you take a break. I'll take over once you show me what not to push." he said in his jolly voice.

Hepner giggled. "No thanks... I can handle this really." she replied.

"Heavens no. You need to rest. Join the others." he insisted.

"No. I am busy with inventory of the new Combat Rifles." she said.

"Oh no. I already had that done. Now please go rest." he pulled the datapad and stoped relizing he couldn't see inanimate objects. "Oh... I forgot..."

"You old coot. Why don't you rest. I have Akira helping me anyway." she said laughing slightly.

She could never get mad at him. Always being nice...

"Operation: Hurricane commencing." Said Lt. Zau to his troops. They moved on to the rendevous point. "Here is the bomb you asked for commander." He said to what looked like a shadow. "You may leave now Lieutenant." She said and moved on. Zau's team moved away. They had to prepare for the offensive.

Jared was running. Those cursed Imperial rebels had found another way around his sheild wall. Now, the ones that had survived the frigate's salvo were mad as hornets. And they were after him.

This cannot get any worse, he thought angrily to himself. ''Running. And from rebels?? This has to take the cake on embarassing situations!''

But it did get worse. He was not looking at the ground while he was running. Of course, not many people do. So he had absolutely no way of seeing the gigantic hole in the floor before Juliet spoke up.

"Oh, yes, watch out for that-"

Jared fell through it and landed on top of a person in SPI armor.

"Hole," Juliet finished.

"Thanks so much for the heads-up!" the SPARTAN growled unhappily. He sat up and looked around and beneath him. There was a kid, (A KID?? he yelled in his head) and a lady in particularly fine robes. When he looked at her, he felt a strange sensation of tingling near the base of his neck. Something was.. not right with her. The glow of a plasma field lit the entire bizarre scene. Beneath him was a girl- knocked out- in SPI armor.

Stumbling to his feet, he asked, "Juliet, what's with the armor?"

"The DE was rumored to have a contingent of rogue S-IIIs. Watch out for the lady, though. She's a tough customer. I can protect you from most of her mental powers, but-"

"Mental powers?? I thought genetic enhancement was outlawed!"

"It is. She's a natural. One in million, they say." Juliet sighed. "What a woman."

Then Jared looked behind the plasma screen. Inside was a SPARTAN. He blinked and looked again. "Juliet, who's he?"

"Lambda Leader: Derek is his name. He's like the late Kurt-051. Commands a squad of Lambda-class S-IIIs."

Derek looked just as surprised as Jared was. But both of them recovered as Lysira spoke. "Hands up, SPARTAN."

Jared, his reflexes enhanced, quickly snatched up the unconsious form of Mahiru, and ground out, "Over. Her. Dead. Body."

"Formation Omega!" Yelled Zau to his squad. Iota One looked kinda angry at him for showing up at the last minute. he was not even supposed to be here. Better yet how did he get here. Fireteam Blaze moved in the Omega formation. Something that was not even supposed to exist. Only Spartan-IIs were supposed to know it. The fireteam moved through the Archive's underground secret passages. They looked through a grate and saw Jared. He looked like he was in trouble. "Ok guys we got a hostile. Ground Floor to the left. Equip silencers adn prepare to move to another position. The enemy is unarmed but we do not know how many others there are around. Activate failsafe protocols." Said Zau. The team unslung their S2 AM Sniper Rifles. The good thing was they had an Iota for backup so they would not have to worry about the hole that Omega Formation leaves in their sqaud. Zau aimed, and fired a tracking device on Derek and another one on Jared. They moved to another position in order to retain their stealth.

Lysira saw her child being taken away... BAD move... She lifted her hand slightly and heard the Spartan-II's left leg snap. Imperial Guards came in and surrounded Jared. Lysira pushed through and picked her daughter.

She hugged and kissed her and looked at Jared with great hatred. She made him slid into the hall way's wall over and over and over again she grabed a guard's sword and pointed it at Jared's helm.

"Ever decide to take my daughter again and I'll cut off your arm..." she said. She turned to her guards and motioned to a empty cell. "If her so much as looks at Mahiru gauge his eyes out..." she looked at Lambda Leader then away. Her face had gone red with anger.. red red... Her face regained it's normal white colour and she stormed out of the brig.

"Hey nice going. You made the Empress mad... It this your rescuer? A spartan who can't kidnap the right way?" the guards threw Jared into a cell and activated the plasma barrier after taking his helm away.

Onboard Supercarrier; Archaic Memory.

"Why, of course... I shall be on it right away" 117649 Annihilative Repentance replied as the Empress walked away. He immediately teleported himself back down to The Archive, and shut down the teleportation grid.

He silently hovered towards the now many mile long Flood form, not even needing to move a kilometer before he reached the giant bio-mass.

With an electrical crackle, a portion of the Command Form was taken and put into a small traslucent orb, before being absorbed back into the Monitor.

Repentance hovered away, Sentinels guarding him, humming his favorite tune to celebrate his victory.

Aboard Unknown Dragon Empire ship.

39020247 Irremediable Affliction wondered where he was; the Reclaimers had taken him to a ship of some kind, and he sat pondering. All of a sudden, a message came from Repentance.

"Are you safe?" he asked, "Of course, what could happen?" Affliction replied, his teal color growing all the more brighter. "There is a command form on The Archive. I thought you'd have known by now..." Repentance said.

"What!?"

"Exactly" Repentance said again, and the message cut off. Affliction immediately tried to use the teleporter grid, but to no avail. So, he just hovered there, waiting for what was to come.

On/partially part of The Archive.

The Hivemind felt a small pinprick of pain that lasted but a second, and he went back to his business.

Sentinels swarmed around the now massive creature as tentacles swung. Streams of explosions could be seen, but more Sentinels took the place of their fallen.

Entire groups of Sentinel Colossuses shot their Lasers at the Hivemind, but they only caused a small amount of damage before being taken down; this would be easy.

"We're getting the hell outta here. Let the commander do whatever she wishes but I am not staying one second longer here." Said Zau. The firetyeam quickly got as far away from the area as possible before planning their next move. "Okay if the commander follows the plan we will be able to attack very soon. Just so we don't have to face that creepy woman I want to get Delta here ASAP. Where is the Sergeant. He better be doing his job or I will demote him so much that he will not be able to acces a single ship!" Said Zau. All they needed to do was have the boss do her job. if the Operation was a succes the Imperials would recieve a massive blow to their fleet. One that might cause a loss of morale so much that they might lose the will to fight.

"Uggie you should know better then to come here all by yourself," said Sakura. "I'm sorry Sakura, but we must get back to the ship post-haste," said Ughamy "But I like it here," said Sakura. Just as she finished saying that 8 gaurds walked in. "What do we have here, you are outnumbered aren't you, how bout this we will give you 3 seconds to run away before we capture you,one, two" "Three," said Sakura as Ughamy shot out the lights with the pistol he got from Sakura. As they exited the brig Sakura wiped the blood off her Jin. "Now back to the Araic..." she never finished her sentence as a plasma rifle hit her in the back of the head. A elite appeared behind her. "It was for the best Ughamy, Rapheal will now lead us to victory," said the Elite. The elite and Ughamy dissapeared.

"Hey Zau," Taiyo said as he and his Squad jumped from above. "I need Delta Taiyo," said Zau. "Fine he was getting kinda annoying nagging my don't do this don't get shot," said taiyo as he downloaded Delta into Zau's helmet. "Thank you Taiyo we might need your help so come along," said Zau "Oh one more question how is Shage doing how is my girlfriend doing?"

On the Archaic Memory a transmission came in. "Lisyra sould we see this transmission?" said one of the crewmen. "Sure," said Lisyra. On the screen showed a elite. "Lisyra you took away Rapheal. You may know her as Sakura because Rapheal is only out in very stressfull situations but now thanks to a invention we have he can be out always," said the Elite on the screen as Sakura was dragged out unconscious and a gun like object was pressed against her neck then the Elite pulled the trigger and a chip was now embeded on her neck.Her eyes then changed for white to pitch black. "Now i am free thank you Gohade now as to you Dragon Emipre i think you are worse then the UNSC simply because you kill your own species unlike the covenat or machine. Now on to business underneath this transmission we have played a frequency that only dogs can hear..... oh and also the mines my elites planted on your ship," said Rapheal as the mine exploded destorying the weaponry on boarded the Archaic Memory. Then Lisyra watched as the Ship with the IMP 990 Canon raced into Slip space off to a unknown location.

Derek ignored the Empress' question, but he offered nothing that would allow the Imperial to assume anything.

When the plasma barrier turn on to imprison Jared inside, Derek-127 scowled from within his helmet. He now has some relief that his helmet's not taken, but then again, what is there to gain or lose? The Imperials obviously are aware of Yoshi's absence, his only revealed chance of escape is behind a barrier, and the team neglected to bring along an AI to prevent this from occurring in the first place.

"I suppose you didn't plan that out, hm?" He asks his cell mate.

It was partially a test. If the Imperials believe that they're secure, then sounds would most likely not be restricted. All Lambda Leader had to do is wait. And pray.

Yoshi thanked God for allowing him to get this far. He barely managed to sneak in before the gravitational lift was deactivated. Now hidden within a ventilation shaft that can barely hold half-a-ton of Spartan weight, he considered his possibilities and possible plans. Then something came to mind. It was completely crazy, and breaks combat protocols, but it probably can work. Under his Spartan helmet, Yoshi smiled. Spartans has been achieving the impossible throughout combat history, and Yoshi-046 believes that this is one of those moments.

Zau moved around the corner but was ambushed by three Imperial Shock Troopers. Their assault rifles laid supressive fire and both he and his team could not move from behind the wall. "Grenade!" he yelled as he threw a fragmentation grenade through the underground passage. It bounced off the wall and blew up in the centre of the Imperial Shock Trooper formaion. The squad leader was dead, one of the Imperial Shock Troopers was injured from a piece of shrapnel to the leg, and one of the Imperial Shock Troopers had his shields depleted. Shage shot three rounds into his chest and the elite screamed spraying blue blood around the hall. The human that was left alive took out an M6C Magnum sidearm and opened fire on her but it was useless. She quickly killed him too. "Clear." She said.

Fireteam Blaze moved through the hallway into open ground. "Crap. We're vunerable here. Get low and find some cover." Ordered Zau, but just as he finished four machine-gun turrest opened fire onto them. They dove behind some crates. Zau rushed across to the next set of crates but almost as if the gunners read his mind they fired a hail of bullets in his direction. Three bullets pinged of his armour but a fourth one hit is arm. Zau swore as he inserted the biofoam into his arm. Zau signaled to Shage. In unison they both threw a plasma grenade which was followed by a fragmentation grenade. The gunners, all veteran Imperial Shock Trooper knew that they could intercept the plasma grenades. The plasma grenades exploded but the Imperial Shock Troopers failed to notice the frag grenades. They blew up the two turrets at the centre, the turret to the left, and killed the gunner of the turret to the right. A dangehili Imperial Shock Trooper took to the remaining turret. Fireteam Blaze aimed for his head and fire but the sangehili had made his shield strongest at the head so the rounds barely affected him. Fireteam Blaze then aimed for the metal shield on the gun turret. The Imperial Shock Trooper knew that the bullets would not even dent the metal. He was dead wrong. The rounds soon put several holes in the metal plating and the shrapnel caused by it eliminated the shields around the Imperial Shock Troopers chest. The BR-55 rounds soon made short work of the rest of him. "Come on! We need to move out before anyone else comes!" Yelled Zau to the rest of the team. Two Imperial Trooper heard the noise and came to investigate bu they were too late. Fireteam Blaze quickly made their way to the tunnel that lead to the UNSC base. They got ready to be briefed for their next mission.

Spider mines followed Yoshi... That meant they all knew he was here. Gerbur had just ordered the gravity lift platform to pulled up and he made sure no one would get on becuas he was now on it with is elite troops and it acended.

"Sorry ma'am..." a ensign said.

"When this is all done... I'll see to it personally that Sakura is avenged... Alaris execute all prisoners." she said as she sat on a gravity throne. "Oh and Aldaris... leave the spartans alone... just the personel from the Ragnarok."

"I liked that Sakura person... Why did her own betray her?" he asked before leaving.

"Why did they?" it hit her like a on of bricks. Did they want her to follow them? Sakura is of course forerunner no doubt. That had to mean something. But it all didn't make sence... For now she has a Hivemind to get rid of and the UNSC and Seps... they were unusually viscous... to much... Why did they come here? Her plans were falling apart... Sakura was to be the keystone that would ensure her victory... But she has one last ace... Lysira hoped it would work...

Jared sat, the armor of his leg plate off, repairing the damage Lysira had done to his hydrostatic gell membrane. In her rage, the Empress had missed Jared's leg by a small fraction, instead bending the gell layer until it popped with a cracking sound. That pop had been a small concussion, and it had given the Empress the moment she needed.

Thank God it sounded like bone, Jared reflected. Now his left leg wouldn't be pressurized until he ot to a real repair bay. He turned to Derek.

"Sorry about that. I didn't know she was a Psych." Then, over his neural link, he asked of Juliet, "How's that phase-alignment coming?"

"Pretty slow, actually. It's hard getting plasma to go where you want it. I should be done in ten minutes, or so."

The super-soldier suddenly jerked upright as a gunshot sounded. "They're executing the prisoners!" he yelled to his fellow SPARTAN. "We need to at least try to help before it's our turn." He swiftly closed and locked his leg-armor panel and reinitialized the gel layer. He'd been able to get a qwik-patch on it before anything else serious occured. Jared had been luckily equipped with Juliet, a so-called "Neverend" AI who constantly updated and learned form each mistake. With her, they would be able to get out. He was glad once again that she lay sheltered beneath his helmet, safe from any interference.

"Here we go!" Juliet called over the loudspeaker. "It's coming down! I got it!"

Jared tapped Derek on the shoulder. "Let's get payback."

Lysira walked to Jared's cell and tapped her foot. She moved her hand slightly and the cyborg hit the plasma hard. She then pointed to a camera looking at their cell in particular and then to a soldier looking in a mirror whose eyes watched them as well.

"You are to be commended though... You wont be executed. But I do have a favour to ask of you both..." she said in a whisper.

Bloodstar 19:21, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

"Favor?" repeated Derek.

His chin lowered a little. A sign that he is not happy about this change of pace.

Yoshi was forced to abandon his heavy, bulky MJONIR armor and "borrow" an Imperial guard uniform to avoid his mechanical pursuers. He expected them, but not in a vent shaft. Hopefully, the job would be done before his armor's found. Screw the combat protocols. His latest "order" is to go to the prison block and assist in guarding it. At least he gets a job in which he doesn't have to speak. Yoshi's English is severely lacking, his language instructors unable to teach him the difficult language throughout his entire training as a Spartan-II. As long as the security mechs cannot recognize his lower jaw as a being that they seen before, Yoshi will be fine.

The Bloodied Victory moved into position. The Archiac Memory was beneath them. All weapons open fire! Target the plasma reactors of their weapons I do not want the Spartans on board to be killed!" Yelled 'Kodumee to his troops. The CCS-class battlecruiser moved above the super carrier. Its turrets opened fire on the ship quickly destroying the plasma reactor of laser one. Seraphs quicky dropped plasma onto the remaining reactors quickly destroying them.

"What was that?" Asked Empress Lysira to her men on the bridge. "Well ma'am it appears that the attacking forces targeted our plasna reactors. All weapons except for one are offline but the one we have left is too close the hangar and without our engines we will just affect ourselves." Replied an ensign.

"Hey you! Trooper!" A Sergeant bellowed grabing Yoshi. "Fix that helmet! I cna see your eyes... Then come with us. We're heading to detention area 10. Those ONI egg heads need to be escorted into their graves. Now grab your... wheres your rife?! Why do I find men without rifles these days?!"

"Cool Sarge... We need breaks to y'know." a Corpral said.

"Shut up Rivera." The Sergeant yelled. "You Ghosts are all alike... damn pysch corps.."

"Yea... That's why you betrayed the UNSC on that ship. To fund better soldiers? Instead your incharge of the Elite of the Elite." Rivera replied.

"Hnh... Your right... Lets move then. I just got a text roll saying to head down below in the hanger. HIM has a funny feeling." The Imperial Sergeant said.

Rivera turned to Yoshi. He gave him a magnum after he pointed to an open shaft.

"SPARTANs take care of SPARTANs... You take care of those kids and they'll look after you. They're still spartans last time I checked. Maybe the Empire could be a powerful ally when this is all over y'know?" he said following his outfit to a hanger bay.

As the Pelican landed Lieutenant Dorien Gray walked off the vessel she saw the artillery line and walked up to it. "What is the situation around her," she yelled. "There is heavy resistance up at the front in tink they got some reinforcements up there," said a Marine. "Fine i will go lessen the oppasition," she said as she ran off in the middle of the fight. With the Lieutenant came a force of 100 marines and 50 ODST.

"Sir they just sent down a new force to help the one already there," said a Shock Trooper to Sergeant Dorian Gray. "Put up a false offense then bring back the soliders we can barely keep them back right now," said Dorian. "I wonder is my sister here,"

Iota Five looked out at the Archiac Memory. He signaled the artillery to get ready for a strike. 'Twassee looked at the unggoy. The massive group started to move towars the super carrier. Hidden machine-gun nests opened fire on the massive grunt attack force. Iota Five smiled. Hook line and sinker. they took the bait. he signaled the RHYNOs to aim at the machine-gun nests. The massive twenty centimetre shells struck the emplacements destroying them. The Imperials had a choice. Open fire on the attackers and get blown up, or have the attackers kill them and take the machine guns.

Konai moved with his unit. Kig 'Twassee's little brother Masu 'Twassee took him away from his lance. There would be time to be angry later. Right now he had to deal with the enemy turrets. he looked to his right and saw a machine-gun nest that could not be seen by the artillery. he signaled ten unggoy minors to enter the building where the nest was. They were quickly cut down by a sangehili Imperial Shock Trooper and five Unggoy Imperial Troopers. He threw a plasma grenade at the Imperial Shock Trooper sticking him. The sangehili was about to charge at him when Konai shot the things holding up a metal girder with his plasma rifle. The girder fell onto the sangehili making the explosion kill the rest of the lance. "Stupid traitors! You only deserve to die!" He yelled at them. Two gunner unggoy set up plasma turrets several human Imperial Troopers rushed down the stairs along with a sangehili Imperial Guardian. The plasma turrets immediatly killed the Imperial Shock Troopers. Konai figured that therer was an Imperial Guardian at every machine-gun nest in order to lead the forces there. The Guardian killed one of the gunner unggoy but Konai pulled out his needler and killed him. He signaled five major unggoy to go up the stairs. One of them threw a plasma grenade bu they were quickly killed by something there. Whn Konai looked there was two dea Imperial Shock Troopers and another one with depleted shields manning the turret. Konai fired the rest of his needles into his back. The Imperial Shock Trooper screamed as the needles tore through his spine. Konai slapped in a fresh clip to his needler and backed off. "It would take ten dead Imperial Troopers to make up for the death of one unggoy." He thought. "All forces fall back. The mission is complete." Said a voice over the comm. The entire attack force moved back to camp in order to have their next mission.

Upon the sergeant's remark, Yoshi quickly adjusts his helmet to correctly, giving his cleanest English "Sir" that the Spartan could muster. With the magnum held in a cocked position in his battle-ready hands, Yoshi quickly went to where "his" sergeant pointed out, offering his assistance. He's going to see those rogue Spartans. And analyze their skills for Lambda Leader to consider. Spartans don't fall for the same trick twice.

On surface of The Archive.

His remaining Sentinel Captains encircled him like vultures, guiding Sentinels behind and in front of them at the same time. The advanced Forerunner machine-work was unparalleled, and would never be in the times to come.

"Monitor, all is prepared" one of his Sentinel Captains whispered in monotone, "Ahh... perfect" Repentance replied. They continued moving, and even as they went on, the Flood did not attack, sensing that within the Monitor lay a piece of their great leader.

An unknown ship, Loyalist by the looks of it, prepared to fire its Energy Projectors at the Hivemind.

"Colossuses, eliminate the nuisance" his Sentinel Captains said second-handedly, and the massive Sentinels began firing their weapons; the energy shield was immediately destroyed, and great gashes were opened in the ship, leaking atmosphere until, finally, a quartet of tentacles pulled the ship down into the unknown depths of the Hivemind's form.

Deep region of space, two million, eight hundred, sixty-two miles away from The Archive.

The drifiting metallic sphere flickered a moment, and the faint chrome glow was even fainter now. It continued to flicker on and off until at last, the sphere rose, and the faint, faint chrome grew back to its original color.

"Well, well Repentance. We have a score to settle..."

General Remarque looked over at the UNSC encampment. He signaled the other soldiers. They where from the Vasar Asteroid Field. A community that had decided to join the Dragon Empre because they hated the UNSC for abandoning them during the early years of the Human-Covenant war. He gripped his replica of the five hundred year old Kar98K rifle. It was dishonouable to use anything else in battle. The twenty thousand men in his legion that had volounteered for this expidition moved towards the UNSC eastern command post behind the base. They had to free the soldiers aboard the Archiac Memory that where under siege by the UNSC. The legion move forward under the defense of darkness.

A UNSC marksmen looked out through his nightvision lense on his Sniper Rifle. He noticed enemy attackers. "Sarge! We are under attack!" He yelled. Lights turned on and machine-guns and artillery opened fire onto the attackers. The Vasarian soldiers knew what to do in order to stay alive. They jumped into shell holes and opened fire onto the UNSC. General Remarque jumped into a hole as well. "Major! Go see if you can pick off some marines with your rifle!" He ordered. The major picked up his rifle and began firing. As soon as he reloaded a loud ping was heard and the major fell down bleeding. "Medic! Get this man to the field hospital!" The general ordered. His soldiers were being cut down by the machine-guns. He did not think that the command post would be this heavily defended unless it was hiding something. He signaled his men to all rush at the same time. Whatever they were hiding it would soon belong to the Dragon Empire.

"Taking control of the hybrid ships systems. Charging Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engines. Plotting random exit vectors as per Cole Protocol, synchronizing.

When the Spitfire jumped into slipspace, an AI that was monitoring approach vectors to prepare the ship in case of Covenant attack frowned.

"Slipspace?" muttered the AI.

Checking vectors, he found the ship's destination to be Earth. Something doesn't add up. Why is some ships breaking off? The fleet had a possibility of defeating the opposing forces, and his Spartan Team is still fighting on the planet somewhere. On top of that, a direct jump to Earth?

"Can you explain why we jumped into slipspace?" he asked.

Michel swung his sword around practicing with Nicole. It was just a contest of speed and power. The Snagheili overseer nodded and instructed them on their training. Ophelia was the only spartan-III who exceeded her training in swordmenship.

Mimi was busy sending Peeps here and there. Mimi had always loved Mahiru... The behavior was unacceptable during their childhood training days. Mimi killed her instructer for sepereating her from Mahiru. But Mahiru had to fight her own brother to keep Mimi. Michel had quit looking at Mimi after the events on installation 06. Rey had showed him that she wasn't everything. Rey-O300 The team's bomb expert who made the lotus grenade, the Spider mines, and the rocket turret. All for the Empire. He died killing Sigma Team's brutal spartan, Jaggers. That guy was a nightmare. He never stoped chasing them...

Nicole hit Michel denting his armor and forcing him back into reality.

"You... concentrate! Not much challenge!" she said in her bad english.

"Look who is talking! You hit like a girl!" he countered.

"..." she smakced him wth the flat side of the blade breaking her sparring partner's visor.

"Oh great! Now I need a new visor!" he said geeting up.

His face was like his mothers... White skin, purple eyes... But his psionic powers seemed to be uncontrolable. It was worst when he was mad... The augumentations had forced him to exceed his limits and it could kill him. The only thing he could do for now is sence people... that and crush them from the inside out. Of course that is only when he is enraged...

General remarque's forces were being cut down like a knife through butter. Wave after wave of men charged only to fall victim to the machine-guns. Shells streaked through the air falling on the attackers. Mines exploded elmintaing entire squads. How long could they keep this up. he found a shadow carrying a wounded soldier. "I am coming with you." Ordered the general. They went back to the base where he gave the order to fall back. So far there was eith thousand dead, three thousand wounded and they still did not even get through the primary UNSC defenses. All the men were loaded into phantoms where they flew toward the Archiac Memroy. Anti-aircraft shells and rounds from ack-ack guns flew towards the dropships. The ones carrying the wounded where the ones that where usually shot down. The reached the gravity lift right outside the Archiac Memory "Let us in!" he yelled to the soldiers inside. The gravity lift activated and the remaining ten thousand men went onto the ship. General remarque was one of the last tp go onto the ship. As he wnet up the gravity lift a single round hit his head badly injuring him. medics rushed to him and carried him away when he enterd the ship.

Five hundred metres away Iota One looked away from his Sniper rifle's scope and said "Boom head shot."

Taiyo looked up from placing the locus mine to see a man running down the hallway. He signaled to Alecski and Alecski shoot the man through the heart and lung. They then continued setting up the mines. As they finished that hallway Taiyo said "20 down 3 to go."

"Get the medics down to the front lines," said Dorien as she herself jumped down to the Front lines. She pulled out her Assult rifle and shot a Imperial through the head then broke ones visor and shot it in its face. She then grabbed a rocket laucher and fired into the enemy lines destorying a machine gun nest. Then a explosion sepearted her from the rest of the troops. She then felt a gun to the back of her head. "Guess who," said the voice on the other end of the gun. "I thought you died in some deep pits of the galaxy brother," said Dorien. "You geussed wrong," said Dorian. "Oh ya," yelled Dorien as she turned around hitting the gun away and pulling out her own. "Well well well it looks like you have grown in these years," said Dorian. "Why why did you leave the UNSC all those years ago,?" asked Dorien. "That is for me to now and you to find out, now why don't you end this all now and shoot me?" asked Dorian. "......... I .... I can't do it I still love you brother," stamered out Dorien. "Then you are WEAK," said Dorien as he hit her gun out of her hand and put his gun up. "Well but i'm weak as well," he said. Then he shot Dorien through both of her legs. "Maybe I will see you again someday," he said as he walked away back into the smoke.

The enginnering chief in the engine room was working nonstop to fix the Archaic Memory's engines. The doors to the engine room and observation decks opened. P90 and rifle fire rang out as several enginners were shot. The chief tried to make radio contact but he could not get through. Alerted several Imperial Troopers took out their rifles ready to shoot. They all fell down from head shots. Crewmen pulled out M6C Magnums and fired back. A ping was heard and a helmet fell to the ground. Whatever was attacking they were closing in. The remaining five engineers backed up to the engines. They thought all was lost when a squad of general Remarque's men came forward and opned fore on the attackers. The turned on their flashlights to see who attacked. They were shocked as they saw the bodies belonged to their own men. "Not good. Call up all forces we can muster we must find anymore traitors at once." Said the second in command. They would be in trouble if enough men had betrayed the empire.

Michel walked to engineering to look for Cheif Wallace. He always had spare parts for the SPI. He carried his helm.

"Hey Jerry! I need a new faceplate again. Jer-" he stoped. Engineering was never quiet... It was usually filled with Jerry screaming at the others because of their lack or work.

Michel keyed a panel and it buzzed to life. Ritz, One of the AIs appeard. "Yes Michel?" she paused also. "I will contact the bridge and tell them to send Dragoons." she said vanishing.

"Listen up! I know no UNSC scumbags can break into here without ID tags from IMperial soldiers. There is only one imposter on this ship. You all have five secodns to come on out and give up before I get even madder..." he said as a few Shock Troopers entered.

"Sir whats the trouble?" the lead asked.

"Must be another one those bugs from BIO again..." another said.

"No we would hear that more annoying buzzing sound... Also we killed oall teh bugs due to their constant breaking free of those binds." A Shocktrooper said.

Michel made a cut gesture and made rapid hand signals. The Shock Troopers moved in unision. They used the new Combat rifle and immediatly began executing anyone within Egineerin except the Huggork and Jerry's peronel.

"This is bad... Wh would anyoen betray the Empire?" Michel asked himself.

"No clue. The Empire takes care o it's people mylord. Hell we pay well and and supply the families back on Serenity with food and a home. These bastards must be undercover! Hey no runnin' away!" he said firing on the traitors.

Now how was he suppose to fix his visor? What a mess... if only they stayed at Installation 06 instead of comming here.

Two "borrowed" UNSC frigates moved into position above the Archiac Memory to drop off a new batch of Varsarian troopers, twenty thousand more to be exact. General Remarque called for more so that he could begin a new assault on the UNSC camp. Ten comissioned officers went to the medical bay where he was to act as his bodyguards against any attackers. The legion of soldiers charged forward into the UNSC camp. Artillery shells rained upon them them sending soldiers flying. Machine-gun nests opened fire onto them cutting down the soldiers at the front of the formation. Kar98k muzzles blazed as the Varsarian troopers opened fire at the first line of UNSC defenders. The attackers soon arrived at the first line of sand bags, but at the cost of half of their forces. Artillery soon fell upon them though. The UNSC was not going to let them gain access to the rest of their lines. machine guns soon opened fire on them again. The Varsarians raised their rifles ready to fire in return but they were soon silenced. The final wave of five thousand troops was halfway there when they came under heavier fire than any other wave. Longswords and seraphs dropped bombs on them quickly cutting off any escape route. They tried to move forward but there were even more machine-gun nests than the first line. The third wave was quickly eliminated along with most of the fourth wave. Iota Five walked towards the new POWs. "You know. I have a feeling that you guys are going to tell me everything you know." He said to them.

The Vigilant Storm and Midnight Requiem fired on the two unregistered frigats that were under the Varsarian control. This was Lysira's claim... Not theirs and she would fight for it... This is her past and future... She began wondering who these Varsarians are... She didn't care much about their resence... Frigates did not pose much of threat but she ordered her assault carriers to let loose all reserve troopers just to be on the safe side.

What happened? Imperials helping UNSC? If that is what Her Imperial Majesty wanted... that is what she'll get. The Libra Legion began defending wounded UNSC personel and active personel. If anyone were going to destroy the UNSC it'd be Lysira not soem new force... Friend or Foe they had no justification to be here. With help from the Midnight Requiem and the Vigilant Storm they obliverated the enemy. This might eb the start of a truce... who knows? But one thing was for certain. The Flood needed to be erradicated. So just as quickly as they came, Libra Legion left, leaving medics to patch up both Imperial and UNSC combat personel.

Michel grabed the parts he needed and ordered the Engineer crew to get back to work. The heir left two Imperial Guardians to defend the engineers. At least the weapons are online... He marched back to detention block 3. He looked at his S2-AM sniper rifle and entered. He was greeted by another smack by Nicole.

"Guard bad..." she said.

"What I do now?" he asked rubbing his face.

"You ruined your record." Mimi replied.

Geberal remarque's troops all charged towards the UNSC position. Including the general himself. The artillery and machine-guns blazed as they were cut down even faster then before. The battle lasted tno more than five minutes and y the end al of the troopers were dead.

The Flaming Courage fires an arhcer missile into the side of the Archiac memory. A masssive hole appears in the side of the ship and as crewmen try to fix it artillery falls through blowing up the surrounding area. Shells rain upon amy Imperial Force that is outside of the Arhciac Memory. Within minutes the UNSC gain all control of the area outside the Archiac meory. Only the ship itself stood in their way.

Peeps had control of the artilery. The artiliry fied upon the Varsarians instantly, as well as the UNSC. How dishonorable could they be?! He made sure that they would pay dearly... The UNSC could have used the temperary alliance to their advantage... The Assault Carriers Vigilant Storm and Midnight Requiem continued to bombard the Varsarians disentigrating their ranks and armor (if they have aneh).

Mahiru kept her yellow eyes on the spartans. They seperated them and took away their helmets just to make sure they couldn't do that trick again. Jesiah had also pointed his railgun at the cell with Derek in it. The remainder of the other prisoners were allowed out of their cages now. An Imperial Sangheili officer watched them moving his hand close to his sword. There were ONI agents in one cell. bound to the wall due their behavior.

Mahiru yawned and rubbed her cheek like a cat. She got the idea of acting like a cat by watching Mimi. She then put her My Pet Blind Wolf on her head and began making hand signs to Lambda Leader.

"Why don't you talk?" she asked banging her head lightly on the plasma barrier. she stoped fixing her pink hair.

"Stop that... you are ruining my form..." Ophelia whispered.

"Nuh uh. Not until one of these guys start talking! I never talked to the original SPARTANs, not even Kurt! I wanted to go to the first operation with Alpha. Omega would have helped them out gooooooooooood." she said yawning again.

"But we didn't." Jesiah began, "We went to do Ackerson's bidding. When the Commander heard about Alpha and Beta... she was furious and argued with Ackerson."

"Whateva Master Cheif." Mahiru mewed.

"Just Cheif damn you." Jesiah said grabing his M90.

Mahiru went like lighting and snatched it and smacked him over his head. Jesiah got up and attempted to punch her when her majesty came in.

The two assault carriers flanked the enemy with fighter/bomber support. The rest of the fleet, save two frigates, attacked the UNSC/ Sepertist forces. Fighters and bombers danced in the blackness of space. Lysira watched a tactical map display.

"My monitor friends... I need anything that can fight out there to do so now. Flank them here... and here." she asked.

Kunzite's exo-skeleton group landed on the outer hull of the UNSC Panzer. They began shooting holes in the armor and making their own way in. Unlike the MK I The Imperial Exo-skeleton featured perfect anti-armor protection and is near impervious to AP rounds.

Kunzite lead the group wielding a knightsword. He began cuttung down doors and slaughtering any crew members he saw. The rest of the group made their way to the Panzer's bridge and wasted the command crew and captured their captain. Unfortunate Kunzite killed him as well... The UNSC Panzer is now under his command... and used the advantage of confusion.

Lambda Leader is getting seriously annoyed by Mahiru's attempt to talk to him. "Where's your sense of discipline, Spartan? How dare you call yourself a Spartan while maintaining such a poor show of discipline to your predecessors? Your generation may be more practical for mass production, but the SPARTAN-IIIs can never be called SPARTAN-IIIs without the SPARTAN-IIs."

His words, although coming out of his mouth in a calm-sounding manner, it stung the two rogues hard like a Scorpion cannon.

An EMP blast came from behind blasting all forces in the Panzer's bridge. "We do not go down that easy." Said the vsecond in command as the crew captured the Imperial forces and stripped them of their weapons and armour. They threw them into the brig and kept a close eye.

Several nukes detonated within the Imperial lines. The UNSC and separatist forces moved into the flanking position and opned fire. Lances of plasma and MAC rounds easily disabled the eastern flank of the Imperial fleet. Imperial seraphs and fighters were easily shot out of the sky when the UNSC Spitfire exited from slipspace and began to rain fire upon them from above. Imperial ship were quikcly boarded and captured before the forces left the entire ship without crews. The larger numbers and newer tactics was pushing the Imperials back. Soon they could finish them off.

Rhyno cannons exploded killing anyone foolish enough to try and capture them. The tide was turning as more artillery and machine guns easily created a genocide killing any Imperials that were stupid enough to leave the Archaic memory.

Vensar swore softly as yet another ripple of static stung his body. The engineering crews were restoring power slowly, but it was mostly trial and error, and each error hurt. He looked around the bridge of Blade of Dawn, every second telling him more about how the Flood worked. They were very much like insects in some ways; their blind, senseless devotion to their task.

He leaned back against one of the holographic display's projector pylons, taking off his helmet. He'd never thought he could relax surrounded by Parasites...

you have done this before you did it you did it you saw them never looking your way and you called them out it was an accident i swear by ash anur the mediator an accident dont take revenge dont dont dont i couldnt help it it wasnt me it was them they wanted out and i couldnt say no they made me say yes they made me do it

...another electric shock rippled through the pylon. This time, it was so sharp that Vensar growled in pain. What had he been thinking, just before the shock? Something about the Flood? Maybe, even, something about the Flood and

it wasnt me it wasnt me it was you you did it you filthy traitorous backstabbing blaspheming impious disgusting betraying heretic heretic HERETIC get out get out get out i never want to see you again please help me help help help help help help help help

Vensar cursed again, loudly, as another electric shock ripped through him. He couldn't concentrate like this. He wasn't much for concentration at the best of times-

you used to be you used to be you used to be obsessive couldnt let go compulsive stubborn fool couldnt see past his own stupidity oh gods stand by my side help me help me help me help

Vensar shook of the effects of the shock and contacted Iyin. No response.

"Damn," he said.

A second later, the ship's AI suddenly popped up next to him. "The responsibilities of command have not been kind to you, I see, Full-Commander 'Fenijee."

Vensar was speechless. "Full-Commander?"

A Concussion Missile struck the side of the Archiac Memory. A hole was blown right above the bridge. The Imperial fireteam that Yoshi was in quickly came to see what had hapened. A machine gun began firing upon them as a pelican flew right above the hole and Fireteam Blaze rappeled down firing their weapons. The power source on the Spartan-III's armour was struck and the photo reactive panels stopped working The Imperial fireteam was killed and Iota One knocked the Spartan-IIIs unconcious. They freed Lambada Squad and Jared. Yoshi put his armour back on as they flew away in the pelican.

"Plasma hit on starboard aft! H Heck, reactor chamber has been breached," Will reported. He opened a chanell to Lagedon "Covenant ship right on top of us! We'll draw thier fire. Get to Earth" "Sir, we need to drop out of slipspace."

Admiral Chow said "Covenant ship classification?" "Sensors are blind. I do not know,sir" "Sound the General Alarm," Klaxons blared "Ok, Will charge the MAC guns. Start repairs to the reactor and seal the hull breach," The Admiral ordered "Yes,sir.

When the Spitfire exited slipspace, Erebus went to work. "Covenant ships detected: two at starboard, one at port, and one at 12-12 (he means 12o'clock, vector-wise). They were expecting us. Commencing detail scan now."

The ship rocked as it endures another plasma shot. Erebus' image was static for a moment, before returning to normal. "Scanners damaged. Detailed scan aborted. Redirecting remaining power from scanners to defense systems."

Although Erebus was not originally designed to emit many human emotions, he had a serious thought. I got a bad feeling about this...

As he ran, Lambda Leader added Jared-091 to his BIO. Might as well, since they'll probably be working together with the rest of Lambda Squad for a while. "Iota, doesn't this seem to be a little too easy? I'd expect that a team of Spartans would take longer than the amount of time that it took you to break through."

The rest of Lambda Squad nodded in agreement. They already had this thought in mind, and cocked their stolen Imperial weapons that they pilfered from the guards that Iota One eliminated.

Zau placed Delta into a terminal. Delta's image of a Spartan-II came online. "Hello sir. If you would like to know any escape routes I have downloaded the best one onto your HUDs. I have also given the patrol locations of all guards so that you may avoid combat. I shall open any door that may be in your way." Said the AI. The door opened and Zau cocked his carbine around the corner. Nothing. He signaled the others to continue moving. They came around a corner where a squad of Imperial Troopers along with one Imperial Shock Trooper had their backs turned. Fireteam Blaze took out Energy garrotes and snuck up behind the squad. The squad was quickly killed. The turned around the next corner and saw two Imperial Guardians. They again used the energy garrotes to kill them without alerting anything else. "Come on! We need to get to the hangar ASAP so that we can get off this dump before the fleet blows it up!" Said Shage to the others. "Iota One! Your on point." Zau ordered.

"Heat up MAC guns one through three! Aim for that attacking Imperial cruiser. Fire!" Yelled Admiral Chow as the MAC rounds raced towards the ship engulfing its portside plasma torpedoes. Archer and Concussion missiles flew towards the ship disabling any other weapons that they might have. "This is First Lieutenant Zau. We are going to come back to the fleet in an Imperial Dropship. I shall signal you when we are on our way." Said a voice over the intercomm. "Admiral Chow. Got it." replied the admiral.

"Sir, Scanners are picking up 3 Covenant ships. A Benediction-class Star Dreadnought and two CCS-class cruisers," The AI reported. There was no way out of this mess and everyone aborad the Spitfire knew that. However, he might have a way out this...

Being a 'smart' AI Will, couldnt help but find flaws in his so-called plan. Hand over all control to Erebus and do what he did best, hack the Covenant systems. Admiral Chow snorted "Gutsy-plan, Will. But considering the situation I guess we dont have much of a choice. Erebus, I hereby hand over all of Will's duties to you." "Admiral, I will contact you once I have secured your new 'toy'."
