bluerosekissed said The truck stopped the guard were more fixated on the cargo then on anything the to do with drivers. A ceremony of bonding much like a marriage bonding two warriors as family she looked at the guards it was clear they wanted the cargo it would only be a matter of time before the realized the weapon was no longer armed. The ritual is rare as most elites have given up on the old ways the covenant polluted the elites turning them into little more then hired guns. The garage was almost empty most of the machine were not functional several spaces were empty. Plan beach head after the first invasion attempt of earth the enemy planned to make a beach head on one of the outer planets. From there the would use a doomsday weapon to crack the moon like an egg or rain asteroids on the earth. The cowards have given up on trying to take the artifact on earth all the soldiers were volshar dishonored the lowest class it was forbidden to arm them it was an army created to die no matter if the mission succeeded or not. Suddenly the small garage was bathed in light without thinking she tackled the human landing behind a crate of plasma charges. The small truck was washed over by a barrage of fire the human under her was still cuffed. They knew all along they just wanted the bomb slowly she removed the coughs handing him a galton a ceremonial weapon used only in forerunner rituals its a shield gun the gun had to firing modes one that projected a burst shield reflecting enemy fire it was not used after they learned the humans did not have energy weapons. Looking down she slowly rolled of the human wondering if she had injured him. Click to expand... 'M..Marriage?? He was thrown off guard by her statement. He had no idea that her race had any concept of anything like that. He guessed it should have been common since. After all they were complex beings that showed many emotions so why wouldn't they have some form of marriage. He did not get the chance to think about it though as they pulled into the base. He watched nervously as they inspected the truck not even careing to examine the human prisoner. He did not like this at all. Next thing he knew he was being shoved out of the truck by Cha'tol on onto the ground as the were surounded by plasma fire. He tensed as she landed on top of him his eyes glancing into hers as she undid the coughs and handed him the shield gun. Yeah I know how these work I studied them when I was in basic. He winced lightly realizing that one of his ribs had been cracked from the fall. He pushed the pain to the back of his mind and smiled at her. Thank you for not letting me get burned by plasma Cha'Tol. They must have had somone watching us to figure out our plan. Without hesitation he slid past her and stuck the gun out around the corner of the truck sending two shields up. Useing the cover he darted across the pain in his side shooting throughout his body. Damn this hurts. Grabbing two belts of plasma grenades and slid them over to Cha'Tol winking and grinning. He then snatced up a left over battle rifle and a sniper rifle from a crate darting back to her side breathing heavily from the pain. Here we have some real firepower now. He grabbed one of the grenades and sent it flying into a group of jackals. The scream of panic from one of the dumb beasts let Alexander know he had stuck one of them. He then popped around the corner of the truck and let three bursts from the BR fly taking down three grunts. When he came back around her twisted and sent a new pain flying through him causing him to grab his ribs and buckle over for a moment
