The escort phantom sent down to collect the prophet returned with little incident. As the commander stood in the launch bay to greet the prophet, he head an erry sound from within the dropship.
Too late he realized what was happening. The doors fell down, and flood jumped out from every orfice on the ship. The rotating turret on the underside turned, and opened up on the petrified elites.
the commander fell to the ground, the sizzling heat of the plasma weapon fading into blackness.
Less then 30 minutes later, the covenent vessel broke the containment shield, firing disrupters left and right, flew off into the blackness of space, leaving the covenent a little surprise on the planet.
The reactor core from the longsword was crammed neatly into the steerage section of the phantom, and was unnoticed, even as the survivors boarded it and headed for the nearest capitol ship.
the second the phantom reached the Capitol cruiser, it detonated, destroying the warp core.
looking over his shoulder, the overlord headed once again into the oblivion of space, in his own Destroyer, filled with the makings of a new flood, one wich would start were the others had left off.
