“Oh god…are you serious? Okay, we need to find a way up, any chance you can help us with that?” she asked.

“Does your armor include Mag Boots?” Catina asked.

“Gotta go!” Catina said, cutting off the com, and deciding it was her turn. So she charged Sky diagonally, lowering her torso and arms so she could pick Sky up by her legs and run a few more steps before slamming both of them into the floor, Sky breaking her fall. Catina then slapped her robotic hand arorss Sky’s throat and closed her fingers. “Stop this Sky!” Catina pleaded with her. “What has gotten into you?!”

Kaitlynn checked her armor, seeing it did. “Huh, ■■■■ never knew that.” She said as Blake turned his on and the two climbed up to regroup with everyone.

“Catina restrain Sky!” She ordered Catina as Blake sit down, rubbing his back. “Ugh, can I ever catch a break?” He asked.

Zorya took this time to relax as he waited for either Kyanna or even the geeky doc to come back for him. As he was relaxing a melody started to play in his head. That sounds almost real Zorya thought as he looked around the room for a source, it was all around the place. Whichever corner he went the melody stayed the same volume even as he tried to close his hands over his ears (or ear holes). This is quite frustrating Zorya thought as the tune kept on playing.

It was the sound of a human instrument, one Zorya knew but couldn’t remember. Could it be a guitar? Zorya thought as he asked himself. Nonsense he thought. The melody was a piano! Yes, that’s the word. It was a piano he thought to himself re-assuredly, as he at least knew what the sound was. But there are no pianos on this planet… he thought as the tune finally finished playing. It stopped abruptly almost as if it was incomplete. Could this be a memory?.. Zorya thought as he put his head in his hands. He didn’t ask for this kind of life, he wanted to find out why he was made, that’s all.

Kaitlynn walked over to Sky, helping her hold her down. “Sky, look at us and let us explain.” She said as Blake looked at the handle he picked up he turned the handle on as a long plasma blade came out, Blake shrugged and turned it off. “It might be better use as a decoration.” He said.

Leygall began rallying SOS forces, he amassed a large group of warriors still fit for combat, 30 Sangheili, 20 Ungoy, and 12 Kig-Yar. many of the sangheili were minors, along with some of the Ungoy, the Kig-Yar however were more experienced. The Sangheili among the group, including Leygall had equipped Kig-Yar defense gauntlets, some from crates, others scavenged from the dead Kig-Yar normally Sangheili felt like doing so was a cowardly and shameful act however, in this instance they swallowed their pride and regrouped. Leygall being one of the highest ranked among the group, and the one who lead the rally stepped up and lead this small force. this is exactly what I wanted to avoid during our war with the humans… well it is time to bite the bullet Nos. he thought to himself.

He lead the group throughout the Darkstar III. Ungoy were in the front, equipped with plasma pistols, rifles, two fuel rod cannons, and a few needlers. behind them were the Kig-Yar with Carbines and Needle rifles, one of them instead had an energy cutlass. Finally behind them were the Sangheili equipped with plasma rifles, carbines, needlers, and storm rifles. In the far back was Leygall and two other swordsman.

The group stormed through the halls, slaying any LR personnel on sight. Marines dropped like flies as their armor was melted through after only a single shot, a group of them ran from Leygall’s force and lured them into a much larger group of marines and spartans. the two sides fought tirelessly, marines continued to die with ease, the Ungoy melted large numbers of the group with their fuel rod cannons, the spartans soon after dispatched the attacking Ungoy with ease. The Kig-Yar and Sangheili’s defense gauntlets allowed them to push forward, an effective shield wall forcing it’s way down the halls, the marines retreated while the remaining three spartans stood their ground, one threw a grenade at the group which a Kig-Yar was able to shoot out of the air as it left their hand, blowing the spartan’s hand off and disabling his shields, he quickly exploded as he became a pin cushion of blamite crystals. The other two spartans were able to kill a few of the Kig-Yar before being brought to their own deaths. Leygall continued to lead his force through the Darkstar deck by deck.

They entered a large hangar which was full of more LR forces, many marines and 5 spartans held their ground in this room, Leygall’s forces pushed their way through, three spartans charged forward, energy swords in their hands, when they got close the Kig-Yar and Sangheili all crouched simultaneously, Leygall and the two other swordsman stepped on the backs of the sangheili in front of them and leaped off of them, quickly decapitating the three spartans before they could even swing once, this lowered the moral in the marines and some began to retreat while others continued to fight vigorously. The two other spartans managed to kill 4 of the Kig-Yar before falling themselves, the rest of the marines who tried to retreat were nearly melted into puddles of flesh under the concentrated fire of the group. Afterwards they pushed through the tunnel into the next deck where they found a pair of Mgalekgolo melting a group spartans. “Bond brothers! join us to kill this treacherous slime!” Leygall said, the two let out an affirmative rumble. they were put into the back of the group, they were larger than anything else in the group and the Kig-Yar and Sangheili served as an effective wall for them while they were able to shoot over the group and decimate any humans in front of them. The group marched through the halls wreaking havoc wherever they went. Massacring large numbers of humans while losing small numbers of their own, it was as though it were the human covenant war all over again, when the covenant were at full strength.

“thank you” Zoka said as she lead the doctor to Qeeana’s room, as they approached there was the voice of a female sangheili yelling.

“YOU WHAT?” along with the sound of a loud smack

“it sounds as though Keeahna has just broken the news” Zoka said as she knocked on the door, Qeeana opened it and Kyanna was on the floor rubbing her face with her right hand, a sad look was in her eyes yet she smiled to try and hide her sadness.

“what do you want?” Qeeana growled angrily

The men from Lessek were keeping the room safe.
“Can you guys go and get as much supplies as you can?” Leo asked them.
They all nodded and headed towards the armory.
“Can someone accompany them so anyone Daylight knows they are friendly?” Leo sked them.

Sarah ran with Grace, Mariana and Butch till they arrived at the hangar. Sarah saw the dead Vulcans and screamed. “Gr-Grace… K-Keep Mary outside and cover her eyes… sh-she can’t see this…” she then ran over to Tom and got down. “Are you okay…”

Leygall’s small army was moving away from daylight, they were set to spread as much chaos around as much of the ship as possible, more surviving members of the SOS joined them along the way. All while the SOS vehicles inside the ship continued to destroy entire areas, and the SOS force outside of the Darkstar continued to destroy it’s weapons, as the Sereph’s and banshee’s kept the main guns distracted one of the Lich’s began to melt clean through the ship into areas where surviving SOS members reported were large numbers of LR forces, the Darkstar III was now effectively full of holes along it’s entire structure, inside and out, all while the SOS within killed whatever humans they could.

“Is Grace here?!” Catina asked loudly enough for Sarah to hear her in the hangar. “We could use some help with talking Sky out of thinking we are her enemies.”

“Sky? It’s us!” Catina said to Sky to try to get through to her.

(@squeaverking Cue my idea that Catina will be holding Sky down with her prosethetic arm, trying to get through to her? But Sky will only see Cabis with his knife arm bragging that he killed Sky’s Family, and Sky will break free and eff Catina up, thinking she’s Cabis? Since I will be going to work soon anyway.)

Scarlett had run off in silence. No orders had been given to her, and there was someone she needed to find.

Glasgow rushed to Kyanna. “Hey! She is essential to the project!” He shouted.

Grace covered Mary’s eyes. “Close your eyes, honey…” Grace whispered. She carefully stepped through the bodies.

“Never better…” Tom groaned, clutching his helmet in one arm.
