Hello all your people of the interwebs! This is your Commander speaking I would just like to say before you read the stuff you came here to read because this is totally important. If you anyone is a Halo fan and seen the new trailer then you would know why I'm super excited for a game with a good story this year!! Besides that, sorry for the two day delay as I've been having difficulty's finishing the story because Internet Explore was being that guy. Enjoy and tell me how you like the new format. [i][b]Some where near the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy[/b][/i] A loud screeching bounces through the halls of the ship, leaving anything near the sound frozen with fear as a beast the size of ten men slowly walks towards the head of the ship dragging his sword across the ground behind him...the captains piloting point...the center of all the dark surrounding his fleet, protecting it from...something. As the armored behemoth opened the large white door a sudden rush of all the screams of the fleets fallen allies and enemies, screaming to be freed from the cages the captain locked them in for "betraying his word". In the room there where mirrors all across the walls except for a small circle in the middle of all the glass that was a window, looking out into the nothingness of space...the captain sat on a pillar in the middle of the room looking out the window as if he could see everything. Once the armored behemoth entered the room he went to a key hole under the pillar, entered his sword and looked up at the captain. "Sir, the fleet is ready to clean this infection form this realm. We will begin with the attack when you say the word." The captain continued to look at the window, ignoring what ever it is the armored behemoth had to say "Sir I think you as the Phoenix Riders King that you should at least give me an answer so we may make a choice before the Porgrath Sisters come and wipe us out! If you do not respond sir I, the Warhead, will make that decision for you." The Warhead looked at the captain in annoyance for his silence, he then pulled the sword out the hole and began to leave the room before the captain stood up faster than light looking around at all of the mirrors, until he stopped at one and put his hand up against to pull some dark matter out of the mirror above the Warhead and then turned to face him with a calm and angered face. "Patience, patience will be our first attack...then it will be curiosity...after that we will eat this infection from the inside. Remember this as you are reborn." The Warhead turned with a terrified look at the captain, he then bolted towards the white door but was pulled down by the arms of his fallen friends, allies, and even enemy's. "Please captain!! Don't do this to me...I didn't mean to anger you I just wished to-" the Warhead was silenced by one of the hands ripping open his throat and pointing the wound towards the captain. The Warhead put out screams of pain and horror as the captain spit the dark matter into his body then sat back down returning to his mirrors. "You are important to me Warhead, so I will not kill you...I will just cleanse you of all of those worthless emotions, those memories are also no longer needed...you will not need your will also as it will be joined with mine so you won't pull anything like that again." The Warhead's body bounced on the floor being ripped open and closed again as all that made the Warhead a living thing was torn away and thrown into the prison that all of those that "betrayed the captains word" where put. "You will now be reborn as something greater, more powerful, more...obedient. Your are now Malik, The Silenced and you are also the general of my fleet. Do not worry as you job is easier now with all those worthless things thrown away." The captain returned to looking at out the window... started to grin at something he could see...if there was anything to see in the dark. ------------------------------------------------ "So what your all saying is that none of us have a ship!" Phobos was sitting near one of the wings of the ship trying to relax his injured back, Lexie went over to Phobos and started put a gel on his where his spin area is "Don't worry we will figure something out soon Phobos, just let us worry about it so you can relax. I doubt it could be hard, right Cipher!" Cipher was scavenging through the ship looking for parts to upgrade his sparrow and make his Ghost awesome looking "Oh yea, yea of course." The two, Phobos and Lexie, were slowly walking over to a safe tree trunk were she could let Phobos relax without him having to worry about what Cipher and Lexie are digging through "Here this should be a good spot to rest" "Um no its not, the wing had a real chair, this is a god damn rock! He turned and smashed the rock with his fist which put a very instint big shock of pain through his body "Ah gerd damming mother urg freaking rocky smash shit ugh dammit!" Phobos mumbled under his breath and was rubbing his unprotected hand that he smashed the rock with "See Phobs, this is why I want you too just relax. You are in no condition to be doing anything dangerous, so let me and Cipher do our thing whilst you let that gel numb your back." She ran over to the ship and jumped down with a big thud and a couple cracking sound from what ever she landed on Hearing the loud cracking and jointing sound of his once great ship being torn apart for scraps mad Phobos feel as if he has failed something or...someone. He looked down at his hand and felt the pain of his back and realized what he had done to himself to fulfill a goal that he did not yet fully understand. He then remembered that Cipher had a sparrow and he thought of a plan "Heh Cipher! Didn't you say that you had a sparrow that you loved?" Cipher climbed quickly out of the hole at the call for his sparrow jump with excitement "Oh oh we can use me sparrow for something useful!?" "Yes Cipher we can use your sparrow for something useful and why are you so excited about that?" "I guess I've only used it for fun things so its very exciting to use it for something different." Phobos nodded his head in agreement "But how can we fit all three us with you big so...you know...kind of fat." Phobos raised head quickly with an annoyed look and pointed at the engine area of the ship "Just go get some Fluxyrators and Accelerators for your damn sparrow." "Okedokie!" Cipher ran off to the engine and started to dig in to the broken pieces Phobos looked at his stomach and got a surprised look on his face, he then looked around to see if anyone was looking and tucked his stomach behind his belt and pumped his chest out and started to chuckle. "Ha Cipher you silly boy. This isn't fat its pure muscle, there is some fat but that in there for tactical reasons of course." Phobos said under his breath ------- Lexie was going through the piloting station of the ship to see if Phobos had anything important here. She was kicking and pushing things around until she found a hatch under the pilots seat; she moved aside some broken glass pieces until she found the handle to open the hatch but found it was locked "Dammit Phobos why did you have to lock the one cool thing I find." She mumbled as she looked around for a key "Maybe he has it on him? Ill just wait till the gel puts him too sleep and then check if he has anything on him, unless he is already asleep!" She climb up the hull of the ship and landed silently on the ground when she jumped off, she started to crouch walk over to Phobos when Cipher popped up from the engine room and looked at Lexie with a confused look on his face. She put her figure to her mouth to signal him to be silent: he shrugged his shoulders and went back down slowly to the engine room Once she made it to the sleeping Phobos she check every where she could think where he would hide it "Ugh, of course he doesn't have anything or...maybe it is this thing!" She pulled a flash drive like thing out of the back of his helmet with scribbles on the back of it [b][i]Do Not Open Hatch or This will shock me[/i][/b] "Now what is this for Phobs?" She ran back over the ship climbed up the hull and then to the piloting room Once she got the she pulled a key off the flash drive and put it into the hatch's key hole. Once it opened the was a lone box with a list of what's inside:[b] [i]Very Old Adult Magazines, My Dead Ghost, Old Friends Dog Tag, Paper with Theories on the darkness, Bad Memory's.
