you are a good translatorIdiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.
"Wake up, squidhead."
Niokiljolmee reacted automatically, in a flash of a sword and the twist of muscles, the man was pinned against a tree with a terrified expression on his face. Niokiljolmee was about to kill the man when another Human tackled him and pointed a firearm at his head. He had dark skin and a brown cylinder protruding from his mouth.
"Settle down. Big guy. You're now with us." The man said.
"I would not stoop to such a dishonorable level. You humans are Heretics, and are foolish to desecrate this Ring with your presence." Niokiljolmee was furious.
"It's true, Major."
A distinctively Sangheili voice boomed. Niokiljolmee turned to see a fellow Special Operations Major emerging from the woods. He had half of his mandibles.
"I am Rtas' Vadum, Special Operations Commander of the forces that were stationed on this Ring."
Niokiljolmee was furious.
"How dare you dishonor the Prophets, where is the suffix of your name?"
The Elite laughed.
"Dishonor the Prophets? It is now my mission to destroy them!"
"Elaborate!"
Rtas' looked at Niokiljolmee.
"Well Niokiljolmee, or should I say Niokiljolm, the Jiralhaenae did not betray us at all, they were ordered to carry out the extermination of Elites under the direct order of the prophets, and to put it simply, we are no longer members of the Covenant"
Niokiljolm' gasped.
"What of the Great Journey?"
Vadum chuckled, his mandibles contorting into what would be a grin by human standards.
"I suppose I must shock you again. The Great Journey is a lie."
"Heresy."
"Nay, The Arbiter himself uncovered this in the control room. The Halos are super-weapons designed to eradicate all life in the universe. The Forerunners never ascended, only destroyed themselves in order to stop the flood, which we released with this "Great Journey" farce. Now we must stop them before they drive us, the humans, and themselves into extinction."
Niokiljolm' did not respond. The weight of his life serving the prophets collapsed on him like a star going supernova. He looked down as the visions of slaughter from the betrayal and the grotesque scale of the flood threat raced through his mind.
"I will accept this, but I must set aside time to assess this. I amshaken to say the least."
"I was, too." Vadum said. "But we must set that aside. The human you becameacquainted with, Johnson, will brief you on what we must do to get off the ring alive."
The dark skinned human nodded.
"Alright, turkey." He said as he stammped out his cigar. "I am Avery Johnson and you must listen to me as of right now. Is that clear?"
"Do not test me, human."
"Test you, I am giving you an order, son. I don't care if you are the meanest alien son of a -blam!- on this side of the Milky Way, when I am tasked with giving orders, it's in your best interest to see them through. Now I will say it again, am I clear you split-chinned bastard?
"I will adhere as of now, but that does not mean I will like it."
"You know what I don't like?"
"What, human."
"You."
Johnson pointed to a cruiser looming over the forest nearby with it's gravity lift deployed. It was vaguely organic, resembling a flattened purple shark, but bristling with plasma cannons and measuring 1,800 meters long, it was a formidable craft, only outclassed by the massive Assault Carriers and Supercarriers, the rarest of the Covenant ships.
"We gotta take that ship and make it back to Earth before the apes do, and we are going to work together no matter how much you or I don't like it. Now go to the tent over there and stock up on weapons. We are going to launch an attack in about 10 minutes."
Niokiljolm' proceeded towards the tent, where a ragged assortment of weapons sat. Half-charged plasma rifles, pistols, and carbines were thrown in a corner while human weapons were piled nicely and organized. Disrespectful rats, thought Niokiljolm.'
Niokiljolm' retrieved a pair of plasma rifles, and reached for a carbine, which he slung across his back. He was about to help himself on spare ammunition and grenades when a shout pierced the air.
"Bravo Kilos, lots of 'em!"
Niokiljolm' left the tattered tent to see a pack of brutes sweeping through the coniferous forest ahead, spread rather thin.
"Get the fire on them!"
A pair of human soldiers in grey fatigues dropped on their knees and let loose with MA5B assault rifles. A group of humans and elites appeared, combat ready. Niokiljolm' saw the first brute galloping on all fours, heading straight for him. The brute sported power armor, newly issued and capable of soaking up a considerable amount of damage. It knocked aside a frail marine, and Niokiljolm' decided to let him have it. Lances of brilliant sapphire plasma exploded from the two weapons, overwhelming the brute's armor in less than two seconds. It exploded into metal chunks as the plasma made contact with exposed flesh.
The brute staggered back, consumed by the intense heat. It toppled over with a sizzle. Rtas ignited an energy sword and plunged it into the chest of a brute. He looked back at Niokiljolm'
"Keep the vermin away from the Phantoms!"
Two Phantom dropships sat parked in a clearing were surrounded by Marines and Elites. Niokiljolm' sprinted across the forest as spikes flew overhead and buried themselves in the trees behind him. Niokiljolm' rolled behind a crate as the remaining forces pulled back. A Brute captain fired a brute shot towards the Phantoms. The grenades exploded, denting the hull of the ship.
"Someone stop Baby Kong over there!" A Marine shouted.
A human with a SR92AM sniper put two rounds downrange. A headless brute corpse dropped.
"Eat it, you hairy -blam!-sack."
The marine reloaded his rifle and scoped once again. Another wave of brutes emerged from the woods, toting what looked like a spiked club. Were the fools going to try to engage Sangheili at melee range?
The brutes proceeded the hurl the sticks at their position. Futile.
When one landed next to Niokiljolm,' he noticed the burning fuse attacked to it. It exploded and threw him back into a tree, where blood splattered in his mouth and webbed across his mandibles. He retried a plasma rifle and looked to see a handful of Marines holding shrapnel imbedding in their limbs or stomach, with about two Marines already dead.
Whoever was still standing returned fire, and a brute went after Niokiljolm.' His armor was in shards and he came charging, completely berserk, towards him.
Niokiljolm' brought his plasma rifle down on the skull of the brute with a satisfying crack. It dropped like a sack of rocks, dead.
"Everyone aboard the Phantoms, they know we are coming!"
Johnson pumped his shotgun after blasting a brute into the next age of reclamation. A steaming shell leaped out as he climbed aboard a Phantom with a group of Marines, who dragged the wounded aboard.
Rtas' Vadum motioned the Elites on board and Niokiljolm' walked backwards, firing his rifles at the advancing brutes.
"Niokiljolm, now!"
Without further hesitation, Niokiljolm' climbed aboard as the first Phantom ascended, firing it's cannons to halt the brutes. As the last minor domo stepped aboard, the Phantom took off, making a sharp right as they accelerated towards the cruiser with the other Phantom.
