Any and all news will be posted whenever it comes up, and i will say so in the subject heading, with the appropriate page number and date. Chapters are generally posted weekly, though i discuss each chapter's release date beforehand so confusion does not ensue. If anyone knows anything about the Halo 2 book, or what comes after it, let me know. Cause if nothing's happening with it, im gonna write it. Here's the prelude to halo 3(?)... Prologue Ninth Age of Reclamation/First age of Rebirth Yielding Righteousness/ Current Flagship The doors opened as the Arbiter walked into the Grand Chamber, seeing rows of his brethren. His Sangheili. They all uniformly bowed down on one knee, their heads to facing the ground. The Arbiter turned to his Spec-ops captain, now the general of the armies, and said, “You never told me there would be this many.” “I thought you would like being surprised, Arbiter.” He showed a grin, at least as best a Sangheili could. They started walking through the main aisle, with an honor guard walking behind them as protection. The Arbiter felt that the presence of the honor guards was not necessary, but understood the honor they must feel to be here, especially now. Walking past each new row allowed all to stand in that row, which alerted the Arbiter of some discrepancy. He turned his head left, and saw several rows of Lekgolo, their massive bodies gracefully rising as he passed. And further ahead, even more rows were filled with the small Unggoy, who fidgeted even while trying to keep their composer. And they all were bowing. He looked back at the Lekgolo, shocked at the amount of them in one room. He had never seen so many, and they could easily overpower the entire ship if they wanted to, but they also didn’t carry their normal weaponry, which attached directly to their arms. The Arbiter forced himself to look away so not to draw attention to himself in any negative aspect, for it could ruin his purpose here today. They climbed the ramp up to the stage, where the honor guard behind them went to the right side of him, and to the left he saw another waiting for his arrival. The Arbiter went to the front of the stage, and the Captain/General stayed behind several steps. He looked upon the crowd, understanding that the future may rest upon their shoulders. The chamber had fallen dead silent now, and the Arbiter scanned the room once more. He stood tall and came to the very edge of the stage. “As you all know, I am the Arbiter. I have been chosen for this… this honor, by our previous leaders. However, there may be those among you who believe that their word is heresy, regardless of when it was said. And because of my rank, my position, I will become the leader of our group, our new covenant. If anyone disagrees with my appointment as the Arbiter, speak now.” The chamber stayed noiseless, but faces animated and expressions came to color. The Arbiter looked back to his Captain/General, who nodded to him. Suddenly, one Sangheili stepped out of his row, and yelled, “Long live the Arbiter!” As the Arbiter turned back to his audience, he found that he was deafened by the cheering of his name. A wave of relief struck him, and he held his hands to show silence was required. Moments later, it was so. “You all honor me with this privilege, yet I must postpone our celebration for another time. This meeting is one of urgency, where three important things must be discussed. The first of which being the creating of a new Grand Council. After this meeting, all not stationed upon the Yielding Righteousness are to return to their home planets to decide on the council members.” “Our next goal will be to secure as many Huragok as possible. They are a necessity on every ship, world, and army. If we can take many away from the Prophets, it will give us a strategic advantage against them. They will undoubtedly be attempting the same, but we cannot allow them to take any Huragok, or the upper hand will be theirs. Do not forget their usefulness, even in the heat of battle.” The Arbiter sighed, and looked up at the lights, then directly into the holocron monitor, which was projecting his face among countless worlds. “The final article is something that has come into my thoughts several times during these past few days, something I would like express to you. The Prophets have always asked each race to join the covenant, or even allow them honorable submission, but not the Humans. These Humans are a strange race, yet nothing about them is notable in any sense with the exception to the demon. Regardless, it makes no sense for the Prophets to ‘fear’ these Humans. But I understand why they do. I have fought and killed them, as well as fought beside them as allies.” Whispers appeared throughout the room, and the Arbiter raised his voice to overrun them. “Wait!”, he yelled, and the chamber’s only sound was the Arbiter’s echoing voice. “Through my experience with these Humans, they fight with the same honor we would, use clever tactics as we do, and will die for victory if necessary. And now that we are not at the prophet’s side to protect them, they have much to fear of the Humans!” Cheers wailed throughout the room, and a group of Unggoy began jumping up and clapping. The Arbiter allowed the crowd to settle down by themselves before speaking again. “From now on, if you should see a Jiralhanae, Yanme, Kig-yar, or a Prophet, you are to conquer them, and show them who truly is strong.” He smiled as best a Sangheili could. “Even more so for the Kig-yar, if you know what I mean.” Laughter broke out, especially through the rows of Unggoy. The Arbiter walked off the stage, followed closely by both honor guards and his Captain/General. Suddenly the laughter turned to applause, as the Unggoy yelled, and the Lekgolo and Sangheili bowed again to one knee. The Unggoy followed suit quickly. With each passed row, the rising covenant would chant “Long live the Arbiter!” The Captain/General whispered gently to the Arbiter as they walked down the aisle, “ It would seen that you left a good impression with the covenant.” “No, we are not the Covenant anymore. We are the Preeminent." If you guys like this, let me know, I have about 10 more pages written, in no partucular order, and can post them if anyone wants to read them. [Edited on 12/17/2006]

  • There should be an upgraded shotgun.There is this one shot gun called the riot shotgun.It would be perfect.Has anybody else heard of it.Battle cycle.Its like a motorcycle only at the front it has two mashine guns.You could also have rockets in the back.IF the humans and Elites do mix tech. then a boost can be added and maybe someother stuff you can think of.Perfect for a hispeed battle. A new type of long sword, There is a pilot that sits on top in the middle(right in front of the engines).Then there is a gunner that sits in front of him but lower so he doesnt get in the way.He uses all the weapons in front to destroy enemies in front of them.There is another gunner behind the pilot fasing the opposite direction.There is a gun facing his direction that he uses to destroy enemies on there tail.Add in what ever you want.There is a star wars fighter like that which is a perfect example. Well im done for now.Happy Maptastic Monday Everyone!

  • Back on what you said Scorptank. The U.S. justifies it like every other weapon we use. It's a weapon and it's legal till the Humanitarian Society or the Genocide Commitie call. Or both for good measure. Look at Hirosheama and Nagasakia, we used A-Bombs to get them to surrender. One thing you have to realize though about weapons like Napalm and the Atmoic Bomb is where would be right now if they weren't used? Sure it's wrong but how many soldiers would have died if we decided to invade mainland Japan at the end of World War II. I agree with you though that they are wrong to use of another human being. But then again if the situation is dire enough I wouldn' t hesitate to use an A-Bomb. Edit: Sir why don't you add a Hydrogen bomb to your story? They already exist so you just have to get some facts on them. Also they are are as strong, pound for pound as an A-Bomb. Plus no nuclear fallout. [Edited on 4/25/2005]

  • what are you talking about, no nuclear fallout? dude, both the hydrogen bomb and a-bomb were nuclear bombs, both causing serious radiation poisoning around quite a large area surrounding the blast radius. we didn't know this until later though, and changed the name because of it. and, of course, thats what the shiva tactical nukes are. they are just smaller and more powerful, able to make a 100times more powerful attack.

  • anyways, i've already got some sweet plans with nukes, but i don't know how far they'll go...but i think i've got the sweetest idea ever for it...but i can't share it, kinda cause i came up with it now, and i may not use it, and if i did, then it would be sooooo sweet...but it would give away the kick ass ending i have in store.

  • Wwll thwy used Nukes alot in the books. The Fall Of reach, they Used one for a spave battle, and MC used a Havok Nuke on Sigma. And in First Strike They Used planet killers to blow up Reach. Even though u are never told reach Blows up, my guess is it did. So Nukes Could be used, but I would limit them to space battles only. If they are used on halos, Then they rings will blow up, if they are used on Earth, well that sucks. So They could a be a human weapon in a space battle to take down some covies. And the Spartan 3s are mentioned in The Fall of Reach, when MC comletes his training. Chief Mendez leaves to reach to train the next group. Thats all they tell you.

BTW has anyone heard of the GIZMADO yet.[/quote] It could work very well. Alot of times in H2, the elites say they will burn the infestation, and I know i have heard alot of fan-fics say burn the dead, so the flood dont get them. SO the Flamthrower could easily take out the infection forms.
