As we run towards the capital building the charges detonate lighting the city aflame... laser fire from no-ships arc over us into defence posts. We race up the capital buildings step and begin to engage the guards...

As you begin to decimate the planet's population, you sense a certain uneasiness coming over you, a brooding dread that all is not as it seems. As you search deeper into these creatures' laboratories, you find a startling discovery: many of their scientists are dead, mangled, or worse... Just as you are about to turn back and head to the surface, you hear a rumbling beneath your feet. Comm channels suddenly blaze to life with distress calls, as paniced voices echo in confusion across the airwaves. You pick up your speed, not sure what will greet you, but one thing you can clearly make out from all the chatter: ambush.

The rumbling increases in intensity, until it feels as if the very floor will split.

Yet no Malarians did you see since you set foot on the capital... none alive, that is. You realize with horror that it was merely a trap, as fault lines across the entire planet erupt to seemingly spawn millions of those creatures called the swarm. In mere minutes, they cover it as a blanket, suffocating the very life from it. It is only a matter of time, you realize, before they become spaceworthy...

As the no-ships head out into space. A single large no-ship dephases in rorbit a gift from my father i found. it begins to power up its "Weapon" the projectile fires a city island becomes nothing but a darkned body of water. With th blast the rest of the fleet arrives and they set down on the planet ready to die to keep the swarm here.

No-ships lace the ground with laser fire. As strike teams land on the top of skyscrapers fighting there way down and into the streets they set up charges in the concentrated sections of swarm contact detonating atomics... They sweep across the cities wiping out all swarm they come incontact with.

As your dropships enter the atmosphere, most find a most unwelcome landing as their crafts are covered with the swarm before they hit the ground. The rest are soon mopped up by the new forms issuing from the growing cracks in the crust, filling the gaping holes left by your bombardments. The voice again echoes in your head.

You think the swarm is the worst of it's kind? It is merely the fabrication, the servant, of the real enemy. You must stop this self-righteous madness before more of your people are sacrificed. I can defeat the swarm, but not it's master. Not one of us can stand alone against it.

Gods damn it.. Retreat set up a blockade and continue bombardment we can at least slow them down. As the no-ships return to the desert planet. I head to my room i grab the sphere and held it...

At once the sphere seems to ignite into a sea of broiling stars, expanding to greet you, then surround you. Once you are in that realm, you behold two stars, shining far beyond any other of their companions. You look closer, and a form shapes around them, the same form you've seen before, yet different. He no longer dons the same armor, but something from an age long past... bright and yet black as the night surrounding it. Ethereal, yet sharp and deadly. He holds only a hilt of some bladed weapon in his hand.

You see now, as I knew you would. We can not attempt this alone. Look for yourself.

The view suddenly moves from a sweep of the stars to individual planets, one by one, cracking and spewing forth the swarm. They begin to take flight, reeking their unholy crusade across countless worlds. Just when all seems to burn before your eyes, the vision fades, and you are back in your room. The figure still remains before you, yet he is now back as you remember him, with his combat armor and weapon, appearing a distant kind of soldier cloaked in shadow, yet illuminated in more than light...

You know what to do. We have to stop not only them, but their creators as well. I will give you more instructions when we are mobilized. You are the governing force, not I. Call together all your allies. We have much work to do, if we are to prevent what you have seen.

I glare at you, my eyes burning through your mind, embedding themselves in your soul.

Do you think I never felt as you do? You think it was my choice to bring this task upon you all, as it was given to me? I was once as you are, brave, arrogant, invincible. I have tasted defeat more than any one man or empire has tasted victory. It was through my loss that I was granted this. Through death... that I gained the honor of preserving life. Bleak it must be for those who keep the future, for it's joys are lost on them. Yet our joy must come from giving a chance for others to have it. You have my help. Make ready your forces. We will speak later.

I follow you at a distance, watching you and the rest of your people as I pass through them. My stony eyes for a moment seem to crack into fragments of ice, like spring below a late winter's sunrise...

As we i walk across the ranks of my men i now each one by first name and speak to each. They know that if they die they shall reach the spirit world and be honoured by there people. For that is why they are fighting to save there people and kep them safe till the time they can go out into the universe and lead humankind out of infancy. I spend the day with my friends and the evening with Illara for i may never see her sparkling eyes or feel her soft lips on mine... The next day no-ships land in the courtyard as men enter the ship to head out to war..

Flaming Ninja: I want some of those. Suggest that for the Bungie store...

Seraph: I turn to face you once more, and I inform you of my plan.

Essentially, the universe operates within an oscillating current, a waveform, you might say. We are approaching it's peak in the force I have called Chaos. My masters called it a different name, a more terrible name... they knew it's power. For this reason my predecessors were sent, and now so am I. This may be my time. You are young, rescourceful, brave... I sense the truth in you, that spark that births a true leader. In the case of my time ending here, I have given you a gift. The sphere is a neural imbedding program that will allow you to take my place... as Praetor. I know that your heart does not lie there, so I ask you, if you should choose not to accept it, to entrust it to someone of great value, someone who would uphold the standard my masters have set... before I explain my plan to you, I must know your decision. Will you take up my burden?

I am one who has one goal in mind and that is to lead mankind from its infancy even as we speak they kill eachother for petty reasons i have to stop this, also i have to much to lose as i look over at the still sleeping Illara. There is one though who has not been given the some gifts and burdens she is one who has seen darkness... I bring Aki forward she is one that knows darkness and knows how light can iwn in the end... I have heard her cries in her sleep and perhaps she can be saved from her own agony by this... I slip the globe into aki's outstreched hand. she speaks to you "I am ready to become the next one..." tears fill her eyes.

Bagh... have to go. Sorry seraph.

Here's the deal: I go after the central consciousness of this thing that's causing the swarm to appear, and I tell you how to defeat them. They operate by embedding themselves about 2 miles down in a planet's crust, allowing incubation and massive numbers of them to spawn. Look for "hot spots" beneath the crust, and that's the central mind for each planet. Destroy that, they're as good as dead. Get your allies to do that to as many worlds as possible as a diversion, and I'll finish off the enemy that's causing them. Go ahead when the others are here, and I'll write my part when I come back. If I die (haven't decided) you can choose to become praetor in my stead. You would become who I was in your vision, with the eyes and the sword hilt as your trademarks. If you accept it, I'll explain more in a PM. Just remind me when I get back. Adios for now.

You hear a small voice in your head... "Wake up bright and early and get your very own Flaming Ninja Crunch! Jampacked with 15 essetial viatimens and minerals for the growing Soldier! Part of a balenced breakfast." The voice fades, leaving you wondering. Who was that? How did he get inside my head. Where can I get this Flaming Ninja Crunch.

I slip the globe into aki's outstreched hand. she speaks to you "I am ready to become the next one..." tears fill her eyes.


My eyes seem to change again, almost completely removing the grey from it's icy shores, replaced by a softening blue, like the breaking of a warm wind across a frozen river. I bow one knee to this girl and look at her.

Listen. You have responsibility, we all do. This is my task, to protect people like you. Let me tell you something. I will never be above fear, but I will forever be above death. It no longer holds me, and do you know why? I have something else to hold on to. There are more forces than merely evil at work in our lives. I'm not forcing you to take my burden, I would never do that. Do you think it was mere fate that chose me, or Seraph, or any other great leader or hero of the past? No, they were sent, they all had purpose, as do you. If this is your purpose, I can give you no better option than to take it and live it to the utmost. But if it is not, that makes your destiny no less than the greatest warrior. Because there is something else that makes the valiant heroes above death. Do you know what that is? It's people like you, like the rest of those we protect. You are the great treasure we fight for, that we try to keep alive. Don't forget that. Some attack evil directly because they must, but they never could unless they were fighting for something greater than evil itself. What is greater than evil? Life. Life that remains preserved. I do not know if this truly is my time, but something within me tells me to be prepared for it. If this is the last time I see you, do not forget what I have said, nor what I stand for. Remember that the difference between the Hero and his people is not his own virtue, but the virtue given to him. I have given you the gift, what you choose is up to you alone.

And with that, he turned and followed Seraph into his ship, his eyes once again freezing over and forming their stony gaze, edged by a fiery glimmer in the morning, so that it almost might have been the sun's reflection...
