Va' eiss thelumee had been on a covenant super carrier for the past two and a half months, cramped and confined to the halls of the ship. Usually, at least to what she heard, trips like the one she was on usually lasted a month's time, but the ship had to pick up all new units as this was a brand new super carrier, it's name: "The Resolute Dominance." It was one in a line of few super carriers that worked without fleets. Usually carriers would work in fleets, to ensure there was a large enough invasion force, but "The Resolute Dominance" was made to patrol space for human vessels and board them, and this was its first deployment. The ship had already picked up its ungoggy, jirahalanae, legkolo, and kig yar passengers; that left only the required vehicles such as Seraphs, Phantoms, and Banshees. Va' eiss decided to go to the mess hall to eat, as it was around lunch time.
That's when it happened. The shaking of the ship and the alarms blared. They had engaged an enemy ship. She ran to where the breaching air locks were to board the enemy ship. But as the airlock opened and was exposed to the breaching crew, something reached out to the closest covenant soldier to the airlock, a zealot. It grabbed him by the throat and plunged a knife into his eye, going clear out the other side of his face. And when it stepped out she could only turn and run in hopes that the demon that emerged would lose her. She looked back to see if it was following her, but she only saw it aiming a brute spiker at her as it stood atop her fallen comrades.
Then it shot her, and she collapsed; the spike lodged in her spine. It strode up to her, gabbed the spike, and yanked it from her back grumbling about how slipping on some blood threw off its aim. She gazed at it in fear, it was light grey all over with the armor of the enemy SPARTANs. It's helmet almost completely gold save for the back of its head and jaw area. She tried crawling away, but the action was futile as it simply used its boot to apply pressure to the hole in her back.
She didn't see it but she knew it spoke,"Going somewhere, hermana? Hmm? Maybe if the brutes had started slaughtering yous a little before they did, who knows maybe we coulda been best friends." The jiralhanae had betrayed them!? She would plot revenge. But, Then it brought down the spike in its hand into the back of her skull, and it was all over.
-------------------------------
She awoke in a dense forest with a terrible coughing fit and spit out some of the remaining blood in her mouth. She couldn't remember how it had got there, until it all came down on her like a ton of bricks, she'd been killed. She only sat there for what felt like hours but was only minutes as she wasn't exactly thrilled to explore this afterlife. This was not what was described by the prophets of the great journey, they spoke of great halls and a grand receptions for their honor achieved in giving their lives for the great journey. This was a terribly dark forest that radiated an ominous feeling. Like it knew she wasn't supposed to trespass in its area, and that it would make her pay dearly.
She reached behind her to her back in hopes of finding her repeater, as her carbine wasn't fit for a situation such as this, and found it. Maybe she would have to fight her way to her God's side since she had no combat experience. She then finally climbed to her hooves and proceeded in a random direction, hopefully north, as she couldn't find this planet's sun or suns. Just constantly walking and searching for a sign of an exit since civilization was usually north and maybe that fact applied in her current situation.
She knew not what would emerge from the depths of this hell like forest and could only hope for the best, but alas, she never had such luck as a twig snapped behind her. She instantly turned on the balls of her feet, repeater up, prepared for combat. But what burst through was something of which the like she never seen. A creature whose frame and head were feline, tail was like that of a certain arachnid, and and wings. She didn't know whether to burst into laughter at this meager attempt at a creature or scream in terror as she didn't know what it was or how to deal with.
So, since it was so large she discerned the proper tactic for dealing with such a threat. She threw one of her plasma grenades at the large beast's feet and after it exploded fired some plasma from her repeater. Once the dust settled it was slumped down in the dirt, missing chunks of its face and its front paws missing.
"Yeah, this shouldn't be too hard for me." She said triumphantly.
