//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: the element of sanghelios // by Carmine Prophet //------------------------------// (December 2560) "Sir that brute cruiser is hailing us." said a human who was on the bridge of the Human sangheili assault cruiser The love and remorse. Ship master Shor Vadum turned to his left "Prepare to launch all fighters i want long swords and banshees in delta formation, all flight crews on stand by. and store my saroph fighter in its slipspace disk and bring it hear." he said to his operations master and an ungoy (grunt) who was also there. He turned back to the main view screen "put them threw if they want to talk to the harbingers of there death let them." he said in a cool and collected voice the screen showed static for a moment and then on screen there was a brute chieftain "YOU WILL DIE HERETIC WITH THE REST OF YOUR RA.." he was cutoff before he could finish his sentence "sir the enemy cruiser is moving into attack range." a solder yelled Shor scowled to many times had this one showed cowered is on the field and to many have died when he was leader of a squad and he was fed put up with it "kiro take this vermin off of MY bridge get him off of my sight." the blue armored minor " yes ship master" he said just then the ship shook "Sir. the shields are at 95 percent" said the helmsmen "very well. fighters commence attack knock out there engines." just as Shor gave the command the fighters launched in the dozens. Shor was then almost knocked out of his command chair by a sudden explosion alarms and warning lights blazing. "sir our slipspace drives are offline" said a younger sangheili. "Evasive maneuvers fire plasma torpedoes 1 to 15. and ready the plasma MAC" Shor said "torpedoes away sir". 'lets hope this thing works'Shor thought "SIR! another salvo inbound! attempting to evade" with that the ship pitched hard right avoiding most of the plasma bit then. BOOM "Sir the long range communications are off line" OK this was bad in every scene of the word. Shor had to turn this around NOW "BLAZE" Shor almost yelled then a holographic dragon appear and to be more specific a holographic version of parthanaax appeared "yes dovah?" for some reason blaze decided to model herself after a male dragon from a video game from five hundred and forty years ago. And has corresponding knowledge of the time period. "blaze is the mac ready to fire?" "just a second....done ready to fire" she said Shor turned to the bridge " I want a crew update" he said "sir crew is down to just the bridge crew one phantom crew you know the one" replied another human "under stood. move us into almost point blank range and be ready for my signal." "aye, sir" replied the helmsmen. The ship speed up going towards the brute cruiser that was just as damaged as theirs "OK in 3" another salvo dodged. "2.." the ships shields fully charge. "1.." the brute cruiser was finally in range. "FIRE" Shor yelled "dovah you are needed in the hanger" blaze said. "OK lets go" and with that the AI stored herself in a small mobile unit. The ironic thing is that said mobile unit is based off of 343 guilty spark only in mobility. So with Shor vadum turned around and left the bridge to see what his two friends needed. And that really was needed those two are the only ones that Shor could be himself with not counting blaze. The three of them grew up together. and they where all the same age the first was the Ultra Oda naax pilot with white and purple armor and next was an honor guard Ultra named Aul da'morph Shor's guard with almost shimmering white armor with a golden trim around the collar of his armor. The three of them all had to same training but only Shor was given the rank of shipmaster but hand picked the two to serve on his crew. Just as he entered the hanger he saw the two of the and they both shot up "SHIPMASTER ON DECK" they both yelled "ease my brothers." Shor said and the two relaxed a bit. Show was about to say something but then there was a bright flash of light hovering in front of shor where two energy sword hilt's. However unlike regular swords like the ones the three of them all had that where a light silvery (yes i said silvery so sue me) these where gold with a strange gem in each that seamed to change some how deep inside of them. So he did the first thing that came to mind and grabbed them both and attached one of them on his thigh next to the one he already had there. And activated it and the blade cracked to life in typical energy sword fashion then he saw some thing. (2 minutes later) Shor attached the other golden sword to his thigh thanking the scientists for giving him the first ever combination armor. His armor is has the attributes of human and sasnghili armor like the magnets on the armor and much to his liking it also possessed the wrist energy daggers what had not been used since the first battle of reach. And the Spartan 5 dura steel vibroniam wrist blades, and some thing that came from scientists on both sides the slipspace disk a disk that could hold almost anything within reason in a portal that linked to splispace to allow the user to store weapons in them or with slightly bigger ones vehicles. This was given to him when he was conscripted in to the new freelancer program before it collapsed when he was ironically named agent New Texas. Shor's armor was still its shipmaster gold but with a purple trim. He was about to say some thing when the ship shook and the three of them struggled not to fall over and keep there balance. "Warning. dovah when the brute cruiser exploded it detonated there drive core and our ship was caught in the blast and is loosing altitude over an unknown planet." said blaze the pink eye on her MB lighting up with each word. " And the bridge crew?" asked Shor "life signs zero" The three sangheili looked at each other then all at one time they all shouted at the same time "FUCK!!" Then they took off toward the bridge yelling profanities all the way. not noticing that the sword's gems started glowing. Upon entering the bridge they instantly got to there stations. With shor skidding so a stop grabbing a hold of the command chair. "stats report Oda" said Shor " The shields are fully charged but the distress beacon, long range coms and slipspace core are off line." he replied Shor shot up from the chair " Dump the core NOW" he yelled "AYE shipmaster." and the core was ejected "Aul get me a visual and lock on the core with a plasma torpedo" said Shor calming down "yes sir" then one of the view screens showed the core in the distance and confirmed Shor's suspicion it was leaking slipspace fuel "locked sir" said Aul "fire" and a torpedo struck the drive detonating it. "*sigh* well I guess we are stuck here." said Shor "blaze bring up a the planet" and a hologram of the planet they where currently descending on appear in the center of the room. So Shor stood up and started looking for some where to bring down the ship and he saw it. " Their bring the ship down there." "yes sir" said the other two. and the ship began its decent but then "dovah unidentified energy readings detected" said blaze. But it was to late the ship began to shake on its way down but still held Shor stood back up after falling on his face there was mountain in the direction the ship was going and it looked inhabited but primitive. and also in the same direction there was a town in the shadow of the mountain they where trying to avoid the forest and land close to the town. Shor knew it was a long shot but he had to do it "DISENGAGE CLOAK. and aim a message drop for that castle" he said. " yes sir. prepping drop" said Aul as Shor composed himself for the message then looked to the snowy meadow almost to the outskirts of that town. then Oda said "OK sir your live in 3..2..1" "Hello unknown species...." (canterlot castle after hearths warming eav play) Every pony was clapping (or what ever it is) after the Hearths warming play and the main six or the elements of harmony where bowing to the audience with both princess having watched this years play. But then the castle started to shake like there was a earth quake. Then it started to de down but just as every pony was calming down and Celestia the princes of the sun and co ruler of equestria was about to ask if every pony was OK something came crashing threw the roof of the thrown room and landed coincidentally on the stage. Creating a small dust cloud and some decorations to fall on it. Using her magic Twilight Sparkle lifted the debris off of it to reveal an almost spherical purple cylinder about her size then a scream from some pony in the room startled her and she bumped into the object the windows flew open as the princess opened them to see what had caused the scream. And oh boy did they find out in a field about 2 miles from pony ville there was some thing that could only be described sort of as a silver and purple cigar shape with 4 blue dieing lights at one end and on one side they could almost certainly see text that seamed to calm them down if only slightly. "Love and Remorse? what does that mean" twilight asked her mentor princes Celestia but just as she was about to answer there was a blue light coming from the strange object that had just fallen then shimmering then there it was in front of it stood a bipedal creature towering over the princes at 8 and a half feet tall bathed in a blur light and almost translucent with four mandalas lined wit what looked like almost raiser sharp teeth, a slightly hunched back, long muscular arms, almost certainly reptilian in nature. But what had almost most of there attention was his armor very advanced and very imposing and threatening. while in the middle of there evaluation spike noticed something "look on that things hip an element" said the young dragon. Hearing him Celestia looked and almost gasped a on the sight of a seventh element of harmony. Celestia then regained her composure and decided to brake the silence how ever she was cut off again this time when the creature itself talked amazingly in perfect equestrian. "Hellow unknown species this is a recorded message. I am Shor Vadum and i and my ship are from the planet of Sanghelios. we are known as Sangheili or elites. I am Zealot and Shipmaster of the sangheili, human alliance. My whole crew is dead only I and two of my closest friends remain we ask whoever receives this message to send aid. pleas....This message repeats.." Barely knowing what to do but Celestia knew sompony might need her help so she decided to and with that Celestia and the elements where gone.
