Valiance thy name is Gears By Gears the Fox. A Halo/Sonic crossover CHAPTER 1: The Device. Gears the fox sat in his garage, at his workbench, tinkering with a new invention he was working on. The invention was supposed to create a mobile storage unit, for people to put their luggage when traveling. The machine resembled that of a RC car controller, but sported two prongs on the top, which would generate an anti-matter field. When activated the prongs would gyrate in circles, forming a portal to an alternate universe, the user would then be able to reach into the portal, and withdraw, or deposit, an item of any sort into the universe. Gears mouth felt dry, and when he wiped his tongue along is lips, he cringed as he tasted nothing but dried saliva. He put down his invention to be, and ran into his house for some much needed water. ------------------------------ Captain Blaine was no ordinary subject of the Spartan II program. He was in fact the only Spartan to have his own ship in the UNSC fleet. Clad in MJOLNIR class armor, complete with energy shielding, he was a battle hardened soldier. He wore a Recon variant MJOLNIR helmet on his head, the variant had been called that for numerous reasons; It was very hard to headshot the person when you can’t really see the glowing visor of the victim, and that it only was given to men/women of unusual stealth tactics. His suit was colored in a deep shade of blue, which can be best described as the shade of blue the ocean’s of Earth have if you go 200ft below the surface. His suit also had tidbits of brick red color on the top of his helmet, and his limbs. He decided to pull up the diagnostics on his ship. The Breaking the Ice was a beauty, sure she was old, and rust appeared in her super structure, but she was still sturdy. He gazed out into the endlessness that was space. His ship was to meet up with the fleet hovering above Reach. He had entered the Epsilon Eridani system not even three hours ago, but with such a massive ship with great offense comes the problem of agility. It would take another hour or two to get anywhere near Harvest, or what remained of it, after the genocidal conglomerate of aliens known to all humans as the “Covenant” destroyed it. The planet Harvest had once been a fine agricultural establishment, it always had a surplus of crops, that feed all of the Outer Colonies, and sometimes even the Inner Colonies. But now all of Harvest that is left is now a toxic shell of what once was a beautiful place. Every inhabitant on the planet was killed, whether it was because of the Aliens themselves, their super heated plasma beams that glassed the planet, or the toxic atmosphere that was the result of the attack. He sighed as he caught a glimpse of the planet in his visor. He shook his head, for he had been on the surface when it was attacked, but was pulled with the rest of the Spartan II’s, leaving innocent civilians and fellow soldiers to die. He despised having to leave the fight, he’d rather die in the field of battle with his brethren instead of on his own ship. That’s why he always gave command of the ship to his second in Command; Lieutenant Joshua Durgan whenever there was a ground op that deployed Spartan teams. Durgan had been a friend of Blaine’s before he was abducted into the Spartan II program. Durgan of course, was jealous of Blaine’s new abilities, but was content with being called an ODST or Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. This group of hardcore marines sported Matte black combat suits similar to Spartans, but not quite as protective. They would be dropped out of ships in these huge personal pods, known as SOIEV pods. The motto the ODST troopers yell before dropping is “Drop feet first into hell, and make sure it’s crowded when your there.” Blaine admired the ODST’s, but they never showed the same respect to the Spartans, after all, they were just freaks that were abducted at the age of six, and augmented so much that there was no “human” left in them who stole all of the ODST’s glory. Despite being a ODST, and jealous of Blaine’s new abilities, he was always loyal to Blaine, and stood up for him, even when amongst his fellow ODSTs. “Sir, ETA to Reach is thirty minutes!” Reported Ensign Lloyd who was the navigation officer on deck. “Excellent, They may have gotten Harvest, but the Covenant will… not… get…. REACH!” Said Blaine through his teeth. All of the marines in the room cheered OORAH! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Gears returned back into his garage, where he picked up his invention again, putting his screwdriver into the place where you would normally enter the batteries and unscrewing the screw holding the protective plastic in place. He took off the plastic part and inserted a few fusion matter batteries. So that when he activates the machine, the Matter and Anti-Matter should react to create the portal. He picked the plastic ‘door’ again and put it back into place, and screwed it into place securely. His ears perked when he heard a noise outside. He threw the invention onto the table, and ran outside to see what happened. While Gears was outside, his invention sparked to life, the prongs gyrated as it whirred into full capacity. It flew out the slightly cracked door, and into the air above Knothole Town. There it started to create a mini portal, which started to grow slowly. Gears slightly closed the door behind him, to feel a blast of wind it his front. He shielded his eyes, and when he looked up he saw a blue blur running around, he couldn’t focus on the object, but he knew it was none other than the infamous Blue Hedgehog. Sonic the Hedgehog ran around, and finally stopped in place, tapping his foot impatiently as he awaited for something unknown to Gears. It was then that he saw a young tired two tailed fox catch up to Sonic. It was Miles ‘Tails’ Prower, Gears’ inspiration in life to become an inventor. He had wondered what was going on in town that had Sonic AND Tails’ attention. But quickly dropped the thought when he heard a crashing of falling trees in the forest ahead. Through the thicket of trees and bushes broke out a giant robot suit, that resembled that of an egg, it had a face with two very long paint brush like mustache things hanging out both sides of it’s ‘nose’, Inside of the ‘face’s’ cockpit Gears saw the evil man who wished to rule all, the notoriously evil Dr. Ivo Robotnik, or Eggman as the festive Blue Hedgehog liked to call him. They had been nemesis’ ever since they layed eyes on each other. Sonic started right in with some witty banter, “Whats wrong Egghead?! Running out of Ideas?” The hedgehog mocked, grinning in a cocky sort of way. “YOU! You little pest, how dare you call ME, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, a man of few ideas! This is the Egg-Scrambler Mark II! This is the same robot you fought me on the Death Egg, after you had defeated Metal Sonic, but I’ve made quite a few revisions, such as-“ His machine held out it’s arm, locked onto Sonic, and fired all of it’s spike fingers at the Hedgehog, who dodged with amazing speed. But the spikes followed the Hedgehog, getting an Idea, Sonic jumped up on the outstretched arms of the bot and jumped up near the cock-pit at the last possible second, the spikes impacted hard. He aimed again, this time at Gears and said, “Well hedgehog…. If your such a good guy, you’ll have to listen to me if I threaten a civilian correct?!” The doctor laughed sadistically as Sonic started to give up, little did both the Hedgehog or the mad doctor in the machine know that Gears had moved his way up the arm of the machine, right in front of the cock-pit. His fur turned darker, as he allowed his Adrenaline form to cast over himself. He pulled out a gear from seemingly nowhere, and chucked it at the glass, the glass cracked a bit. This was enough to stop the doctor’s laughing, and caused Sonic to cheer. The doctor swung the arm in an attempt to hit the fox, but Gears jumped, and chucked a flurry of cogs at the machine, they all slightly cracked the glass. Finally, a hit connected onto Gears, and he was thrown through the wall of his garage. “Sniveling pest!!!!” Yelled Eggman, who aimed the finger spikes at the garage. He stopped before he fired as he witnessed a spark of grey energy appear in the doorway, as the garage exploded, grey flames engulfed the grass and debris around the destroyed building. In the middle of the crater was Gears, in a kneeling position, his fist on the ground. He barely looked up, his pure red eyes glared at Robotnik. Eggman swallowed deeply, as he saw the engulfed fox move quickly around him, causing a mini tornado, that sucked in all things around the 20 ft. radius of the machine. Pieces of building smashed into the robot, and chunks of gravel and rocks too. Tails grabbed onto Sonic, and flew him to a safe position nearby to assist Gears if needed. Gears jumped up an quite a few feet into the air, and chucked a volley of sharp cogs into the tornado. The cogs slashed the robot and it’s glass cock-pit. Eggman yelped in fear, and attempted to escape, when the tornado suddenly subsided, and Gears landed on the cock-pit’s glass, causing it to crack all the way around it. He started to punch it, and discovered it wouldn’t do any good, so he lifted up the glass, and pulled Eggman out, before tossing him to Sonic. He nodded once, and fainted on the spot, just as the portal in the sky became noticeable to all who inhabited Mobius. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: Limbo "Sir! We have a single disturbance on our course, it appears to be a slipspace rupture, it might be Covenant sir!" Ensign Lloyd stammered, a bead of sweat coursing down his red face. "Calm down son, this bird has enough firepower to take down a supercarrier, whatever is awaiting us in that portal is no match for us," Blaine said sternly, he turned his private communique to the loud speakers that were placed around the ship. "Men! Man your battle stations, we might have a bogey in our path." With that he sat in the Captain's chair, and watched out in the dark abyss. It was funny, when he was a little kid, he had feared the dark, but being the Captain of a space ship had made him forget all of his worries. In fact, if and when the war was over, Blaine would like to explore the galaxy, and discover new things. "Sir, we are reading a Covenant ship ENTERING the portal! We suspect that they believe it is one of us, and are chasing us through it... stupid bastards." Said Lieutenant Durgan. "Well, if the portal WAS caused by one of our own... we need to assist. Ensign, send a notice to the fleet and tell them we are assisting a bird that might be clipped. We won't be making it to the party after all boys. Full speed forward, bring us after them, and prepare the MAC rounds on the way!" Blaine barked as the entire bridge went nuts, men in uniform scrambling to announce their leaving, and marines who attempted to keep their balance as the ship swayed in course correction. Blaine had seen what the weapons of his ship could do, MAC rounds, the Mass Accelerater Cannon, was a cannon that shot a megaton metal slug at blinding speeds, and was so powerful that two could rip through a Covenant carrier. One to take down it's overshields, and another to destroy the ship itself. The other weapons the ship carried were machine turrets, that fired highly volatile rail gun bullets at the target. The other weapon was known as Archer missiles. Which were missiles that when fired, were shot in groups of fifteen up to thirty at a time. These missiles were mainly used for removing the shields of the enemy ships, while the MAC rounds finished it off, only one highly tactical officer of the UNSC could kill a single covenant carrier with JUST Archer missiles, that man was Captain Jacob W. Keyes. He was an inspiration to all of the UNSC fleets, and he did his military proud too. "Sir, MAC's are ready to fire, Archer pods A-E are also ready for fire." Said Durgan. "Good... good... Alright boys, lets get 'em!" He exclaimed before the ship entered the portal. ----------------------------------- "Hey, you alright Sir?" Said a voice to Gears as he slowly, but with no ease, opened his eyes. He could barely make out a blue and yellow blob in front of him, his vision was blurry, and he hurt all over. He sniffed the air, and smelt burning plastic, wood and grass. He winced as he opened his eye again, this time looking over at his garage, which was destroyed. Gears, who had forgotten all about the adolescent sounding voice replied, " Yeah, I-I don't know what came over me, but Solaris do I hurt....." He fully opened his eyes, and nearly fainted again when he saw his childhood heroes standing there next to him. He knew instantly that Tails had asked him the question, so he shrugged off the pain and held out a paw. " I'm Gears the Fox, Mobius'- " "Number one techie!" said Tails excitedly, he bounced up and down in joy. " Um, yeah... I guess, I'm nowhere as good as you though!" He said shyly. "Are you KIDDING ME! You've been all over the news! The Freedom Fighters even use your inventions on their travels, your my hero!" Said Tails. " I think you have this backwards Sir... you see, Your MY inspiration, and it is an honor to meet you. It was because of you I didn't fall down the paths of my foolish brothers. You got me into inventing stuff. " Gears said, pride rising in his throat. Tails shuffled, and dug his foot into the ground. "Oh, by the way... I'm Sonic... Sonic the Hedgehog!" Said Sonic, who had up to this point been tapping his foot impatiently. " My apologizes Sonic! I am a great fan of your many victories over Robotnik, and I thank you for all you do. " Sonic smirked and gave Gears a thumbs up. " It was odd... Eggman pointed those weird needle things at you, and couldn't stop laughing at his "Stalemate" over me, then you clambered up his arm, and threw a few gears at his cock-pit, finally he shook you off and-" Sonic told Gears the entire story of Gears' weird transformation into a darker fox, who had glowing blood red eyes, and the agility of Sonic. He explained how Gears had literally ran so fast to create a tornado, and threw cogs into it to shred the machine, before ripping off the cock-pit all together, and tossing Eggman to Sonic before fainting. " Well... when I get angry enough I turn a darker shade of grey, and have semi red eyes, but this just sounds like a werefox with uber bloodshot eyes. " " I have no idea, maybe a new power?" Sonic puzzled, and shrugged. Gears pondered for quite a while, before shrugging. He was about to say something, when he remembered his invention. He excused himself, and ran over to the remains of his garage, wincing as he did so. He looked around, but he did not see the invention anywhere. It was then he heard a loud sonic boom from the sky above.... ------------------------------------------------------------- "Sir, we are exiting the portal in three, two, one, mark!" Said Ensign Lloyd before looking down at the navigational machine in front of him, he look back and questioned it. Blaine looked out of the view in front of him, and saw a lush green forest area, with tiny specks of things walking the surface. Beneath him stood a house, next to a crater, and the grass around it was burned. He saw a lone figure that was staring up at awe in the crater below. Blaine looked shocked, he thought that the Covenant had bombed the poor creatures home, and he banged on the terminal next to him, which dented the sturdy metal. In front of his ship was the Covenant ship, which hovered, they too obviously confused by their new location. It didn't take long for the Covenant to get into Invasion mode though. Out of the sides of the carrier, Covenant Phantoms, which were troop transport vehicles, lowered to the surface, where they dropped squads of Elites, Grunts, Jackals, and Brutes. Elites were huge monstrocities, they were seven feet tall, clad in armor with energy shielding, and considered themselves the honorable warriors of the Covenant military. They were strong, very very strong, a Spartan even had trouble with hand to hand combat with these creatures. The alien had legs that bent in the opposite direction of humans. They also had four fingers on each hand. Instead of a single solid jaw and mouth, they have four mandibles, two on each side of the face, that created their mouths. These Elites didn't hesitate to attack the villagers, who ran away from the beasts. The shorter of the squads, the brutes, were ape like creatures, that appear to be the evolved human, who went back to primitive qualities. They got their name for their brutallity in battle, showing no mercy. If angered they would go into a blind fury. This meant trouble to any UNSC unit nearby. The Jackals, which resembled an avian species of some sort, was a lot smaller than the Brutes, they came up the the Elite's knees, and they always carried around personal circular energy shield gauntlets. They were mostly used as sniper troops, but this group was a normal infantry unit. The grunts, which were the smallest, and weakest of the Covenant, Marines laugh at them as they attempt to squabble away on their tiny tree trunk shaped legs. They wore methane tanks on their back to breath. These creatures were deadly in a pack, but have been known to go kamikaze if their leader is killed. They are the cannon fodder of the Covenant. Blaine and his crew watched in awe as the creatures ran around, avoiding the plasma that escaped the Covenant Plasma Pistols or Rifles. Green and Blue blobs flew around, like a sadistic game of paintball. Blaine sighed, and gave command to Durgan, before heading to the armory to prepare for the ground op. The elevator to the armory groaned as the super heavy Mjolnir clad Spartan stepped in and pressed the button. ----------------------------------------------------- Gears watched as every Mobian in sight ran away. Even some of his neighbors were gunned down by the strange creatures that chased them, he signaled Sonic and Tails to leave, they were needed elsewhere. Gears felt his heart and stomach sink when he watched the aliens burn down the homes of the Mobians, with the families still inside. He ran over to one of the smaller ones, with a pointy tank on it's back, he grabbed it's head, and with a satisfying snap, ended its existance. He picked up the things weapon and grenades. He ran down the grassy knole as he attempted not to be seen. He watched one of the taller ones, one with four mandibles drove a sword of light, with two prongs on the front, into a female hedgehog. The hedgehog reached for the source of the pain, but could not reach. Gears was infuriated by the creature, and held down the trigger of his policed weapon, the green blob on the front got bigger, until it exploded and launched towards the beast, it's shields popped, and it snarled, turning towards Gears, it dropped the corpse, and charged, sword first. It pushed him back, and was about to impale him, when he unloaded a huge burst of plasma into it's face, it dropped the sword as it died, and Gears grabbed it. He went from alien to alien, stabbing them all with his newly aquired sword, before he was pinned down by two of the ape looking things. A third one arrived, this one wearing a strange head piece, in it's hand was a hammer, the top resembled a hammer, but on the other side was a blade. The two apes that pinned him straightened his neck out, and he prepared for death to fall upon him. He waited for what seemed like minutes, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a heavily armored arm outstretched in an attempt to stop the hammer. Gears took his oppurtunity to impale the beast with the hammer in it's chest. The other two were killed easily by the armored being before him. He patted himself off, and said, " Thanks! " "Well ain't that the scariest thing I've seen all day! I mean, its sad when you've been fighting Genocidal aliens your entire life, but then you find yourself on a planet with talking FOXES? Now I know my life is completely a dream! " Said a voice statically from inside the armor. " Don't worry... um.... Mr. Fox. The UNSC'll help your planet to exterminate these Covenant bastards!" said the figure again. Gears was confused by the whole idea, Aliens, and Humans, on Mobius? He wondered how they had gotten there in the first place, but before he could ask, the figure ran off at a speed his eyes couldn't follow. Gears looked around his village, and saw nothing but death and destruction, he couldn't shake the feeling that his planet was all going to suffer as this village just had. The figure had mentioned something about a dream... Gears thought of it more as a nightmare. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3: Exodus Gears' eyes watered as he watched the ruthless aliens burning down his home village. He looked up at a two story window of a house not even three yards away. Inside of the window was a middle aged Fox, who was clutching a small kit. The father cried out for help, so Gears sprinted over to the house, and held out his arms in a sign of "Jump! I've got you!" but instead the Father dropped his child, which Gears caught, and held onto. " JUMP SIR! I'VE GOT YOU! " Yelled Gears, who's tears ran down his cheek as the man shook his head, and turned back into the building, screaming incoherent names, most likely to his vixen. Gears covered the child's eyes and ears as he took him to a family of foxes that were fleeing. Giving the kit to a Vixen who seemed to be trustworthy he ran back to the house, but before he got anywhere near it, the fire spread to the support beams, and the building collapsed. The fire connected with some gas in the house, and it exploded, into debris of wood, straw, and glass. The little kit chased after Gears, and clung onto the teenage fox's leg. Gears looked down at the childs' face, his eyes were red from crying, and his look of innocence penetrated Gears heart. He reached down to the child, who he lifted, and hugged deeply. He rubbed the child's head, and lead him back to the Vixen. " You be strong now little one! " Sniffled Gears as he patted the kit's head. He turned back to the house, and hung his head for a minute. He decided it would be best if he helped the rest of the villager's to a safe location. Gears sprinted back into the village, where man, animal, and alien fought in the village's central park. The animals getting picked off one by one for their inexperience in the art of weaponry. The Humans were having just about as hard of a time as the Mobians. The figure Gears met earlier sprinted from behind his cover, and vaulted over a piece of rubble. The figure took out his pistol, and relinquished three of the grunts that attempted to run away from the raging Juggernaut. When the Mobian numbers dwindled too low, Gears told them to meet up with their families. Gears took cover next to a Marine of the UNSC, who gave him a look that said "What the hell are you?!" A particle of light flashed from over the rubble they took cover behind, and penetrated the Marine's helmet, the brains splattering the cover, and getting on the ground. He dropped his M6G pistol, and Designated Marksman Rifle. The pistol could fire just about as fast as you can pull the trigger. It had a two times zoom capability, which made it a sidearm to have. The Designated Marksman Rifle, or DMR for short, was a single shot rifle, that had a three times zoom capability, which made it a very handy rifle. Gears took the man's weapons, and his dog tags. Just as another beam struck his cover, he ducked even lower, before peering out the side of his cover. Up on one of the rooftops was a Jackal, but this one had a particle beam weapon, which was called the Beam Rifle. It took another shot at him, but missed by a hair. Gears looked over the top, quickly looking through the scope, when he lined up the head, he pulled the trigger, the purple blood of the alien exploded out the back of it's cranium. It's body fell off the roof, and the Covenant around it searched for the assailant. Gears backed off while the aliens were in a daze. He clambered around the city, where he found a pretty large combat knife, which he attached to his shorts. He worked his way around the enemy, when he found the Beam Rifle the Jackal had dropped, he climbed onto the building, and took aim at an Elite not to far from his location, he pulled the trigger, the beam shot forward at the speed of light, when it went through the aliens throat. It grabbed at it's neck as it slowly died. Upon seeing their leader die, the Grunts scattered, just in time to be mowed down by the figure's M7 Machine Guns. The other Elites, who were smarter than their underlings, traced the bullet to Gears, and opened fire. The plasma bolts were extremely close to hitting him. When one finally connected with his shoulder. He felt as his fur burned, and the skin underneath it was singed. He yelped in pain, before falling off the roof unconscious. ----------------------------------------------- Blaine watched the persistent Grey Fox kill the Elite in front of him, as he made short work of the scattering Grunts. He stared as he saw the fox get shot at by the remaining Elites, when a Plasma Repeater bolt finally connected with the fox's fur, it yelped and fell off the roof, unconscious. The Elites moved in to finish it off, but the Spartan wasn't about to let that happen. He dashed off in the direction of Elites, firing on them with both of his Sub Machine Guns. The Elites turned, and fired upon the demon that dared to defy them, He pulled out his knife, and chucked it at the nearest Elite, the knife stuck itself into the monstrosity's eye. Blaine threw aside his now empty SMG's, and pulled out his pistol, he slide into cover, on the way grabbing the knife from the Elite's corpse. Blaine vaulted over the cover onto an Elite, he held it's face down while he placed the pistol in between it's four mandibles and pulled the trigger three times. The creature squirmed before it finally died. Blaine jogged to the next Elite, grabbing it's weapon hand, and jerking on it until it finally popped broken. He got behind it, and used it as a shield, while using it's weapon as his own. The last two Elites charged, Energy Swords ablaze. Blaine grabbed one, and knifed the Elite's sword hand, driving the sword through it's own master. The last Elite, a Field Marshall, was clad in a Red and Blue armor, it's head piece appeared to have two horns growing out the top of it. It's sword brought up, in a traditional sword duel fashion. Blaine grabbed the impaled Elite's sword, and got in a similar stance. The Spartan and Elite circled, before charging, their swords clashing with a deafening slam! . The Elite kicked him square in the chest, pushing him back. This Elite was strong, but would need to be stronger to deal with a Spartan. Jumping back onto his feet, Blaine was charged by the Elite, he ducked, sticking his sword out, to amputate his foe's leg. The Elite tried to crawl away, one leg still attached. It was looking over it's shoulders as it saw the approaching Spartan ready his sword again. Blaine picked up the nearly helpless Elite upside down, he took his sword and cut off it's remaining leg. It attempted to crawl away once more, but Blaine pinned it to the ground with his sword. The grass around it was purple in color because of it's blood. He turned back to see if the fox was still there, but he saw nothing. ------------------------------------------------- Gears clutched his shoulders as he sprinted for the forest. There he would seek medical attention, when he saw the Vixen from earlier with the young kit under attack. He ran over as fast as his two hind legs would let him, but watched as one of the Brutes kick the kit, and prepare to rip him limb from limb. Gears got very angry by this. His eyes stung, not of tears, but of pure anger, his vision turned all red, as his fur darkened. He felt extremely strong, so he ran over to the Brute, before tapping it on the shoulder, it turned around but saw nothing, as Gears ran around it so quickly it couldn't track him. He did it again, this time the kit laughed. Gears looked down at the child, but was shocked to see the kid scared. He turned back to the Brute and punched it a few times. The Brute landed a few good ones, but Gears' adrenaline mode allowed him to forget the pain. This time he sparta kicked the Brute back a few good meters. It charged at him, but he grabbed it's arm as it ran by, twisted it, and stabbed it in the forehead with his new blade. The Brute went down with a thud, Gears retrieved his knife, the kid looking at him with fright. " It's ok little one, don't be scared of me, don't you remember me? " The kid nodded, but pointed behind Gears, Gears looked back, to see a bunch of mobians running towards the Forest. Gears didn't think them running was scary though, so he looked back and shrugged. The child pointed up, and saw a blue, purpleish orb of energy forming below one of the purple Alien Ships above them. Gears scooped up the kit, and ran with him into the woods. He placed the child down, the Vixen from earlier coming to get him. "Bless you heart Gears!" Said the Vixen before she ran off with her children, even the newly adopted ones. Gears sprinted back to the village, where he climbed one of the trees to get a better look. All of the Humans AND Aliens were gone. But when he looked up, the orb of Energy got so big, it finally released into a giant beam of super heated plasma, which struck the surface of Mobius with a CRASH! . Gears watched in horror, as the Male fox from earlier, carried his unconscious wife into the woods, when the beam struck the village, causing them to become a glass statue, and any other mobians within a certain radius.Gears' heart sank as he watched the kit's father and mother be turned to glass, staying perfectly still, the ground beneath them sizzling from the heat. Behind him, Gears heard a very loud vehicle coming from behind him. When he turned, he saw a bunch of Humans in the back of what appeared to by the cargo bay of a transport vehicle, the figure was sitting there, his helmet off, and frowning all the same. He stood, and held out a hand saying, " C'mon Fox! Climb aboard the Pelican, I need you up by MY ship," Said Blaine sorrowfully. "My name is Captain Blaine of the UNSC Spartan II program!" He said as they shook hands. " My name is Gears, Gears the Fox. I am a Captain of the Mobius military..." Gears looked back at his village one last time, as the beam continued to burn his world. Tears filled his eyes as he thought of all the Mobians lost in this one town alone, and he wondered if the other settlements of Mobius are experiencing the same thing. One thing he did know, these Covenant bastards were going to pay, one by bloody freaking one. ---------------------------------------------------------- Inside of the Honorable Uprising "If your noble Hierarchs would please listen to my offer, you can have all anything you want! Let it be Knowledge, Wealth, Domination, whatever peaks your fancy!" Said the fat, mad scientist to an Elite guarding the door in front of him in the large Covenant vessel. The Elite reached out, and picked him up by the head. heading through the door. "OW! OW! Watch the merchandise you dinosaur!" Yelled Robotnik, as he was literally carried by his head into the Prophet of Greed's lair. "What have you brought me this time Anch Ibor'tee?" Said the Prophet of Greed, most happy to have his first human prisoner of war. " Noble Hierarch! This foolish human wishes for an alliance between you and himself, if you would help him, he would give us all the knowledge we desire..." Said the massive Elite Marshall as it bowed, Eggman and all. " Yes your excellency, if your willing to help me, I can give you all the knowledge you could possibly desire." The Prophet, being given his title for his greed, was enthused by what the Doctor had said. "Forerunners forgive me, but I can't refuse this offer! You have a deal human, but what are you requirements from us?!? " "I need you to kill a Blue Hedgehog by the name of Sonic, and his yellow fox friend named Tails. There is also a new thorn in my side named... well, I actually don't know the pest's name, but he is a grey fox, who wears shades, a gear necklace, and blue jeans." Anch Ibor'tee stood and stated, "It shall be done! Or my name isn't Anch Ibor'tee, the Greatest Demon hunter ever!!" Edited by Gears the Fox, Feb 14 2011, 07:30 PM.

Chapter 4: Roll Call The Pelican's thrusters roared as it took it's cargo to the giant ship in the sky. Gears sat there, his head down, and his hands on his knees. He thought of his parents, and how they had died in front of him, when he was a young kit, much like the young fox he had meet an hour before. He wondered what they thought of all that he had accomplished in his lifetime, and wondered what his father would have done in this situation. Thinking of his father, he squeezed his cog necklace, the only remaining reminder of his parents. His fingers grew numb from how tight his grip was, and his palm hurt as the edges dug into his glove. He remembered seeing his father be turned into a robot, just like all the other mobians during the time of "Revolution" as he liked to call it. His father, who was obscenely proud of all of Gears' brothers, never really spent that much time with Gears, but when he did, they always would have a blast, and it was this one incident that hurt him the most. His brothers despised him for being there for their father's death, and because of this, he hadn't spoken to them in quite a while. Even in their spite for him, he still worried for their well being. The more he thought of this, the more he grew angrier, he had a thing against Robotnik for his father, but these aliens, if they even laid a hand on either his brothers, he would be sure to rip it limb from bloody freaking limb, even at the cost of HIS own life. The figure who sat across from him, who had introduced himself as Captain Blaine, noticed this, and watched for a bit, biting his lip gently, pondering what to say to boost the fox's morale. He tapped his boot impatiently, he always hated it in these Pelicans, mostly for the fact that he was crowded with the remainder of his soldiers, but also that the Pelicans are especially easy to shot down. This always troubled the Super Soldier, but he was confident on this particular pilot. Remembering about the fox's problems, he got up, and sat next to the fox. "Your angry... good. That rage you feel right now, is what got me to become a super soldier such as I am now. You see, the aliens had orphaned me when I was a small child, and from there I used the anger as a catalyst to gain revenge, but I never let my anger get ahead of me, because that could lead to my men getting killed, and I can't do that... Use that anger, and those memories your having... let them guide you along the warzone, but do NOT let them overpower you, because that can cause you to hurt the ones you love." Gears looked up to the giant human next to him, and smiled. He WOULD make these "Covenant" pay, for every mobian that was lost today... for every dead mobian this day, he would kill five. This was a promise to Mobius, as the Pelican entered the docking bay of the frigate. The soldiers all hopped out, followed by Gears and Blaine. Gears looked around the massive deck, and saw all sorts of vehicles, Tanks, Vehicles with Machine gun turrets on the back, mini ATVs, Jet fighters, and just about anything Gears would of loved to construct. He was lead to the Bridge of the Breaking the Ice . When he and Blaine entered the Bridge, all the humans inside saluted, while giving a look of confusion at Gears. "This is.... er... Gears the Fox, a military Captain of this planet. I have been down there, and by god the Covenant are more than happy with killing just about everything, it is a SLAUGHTER down there. I have brought him on board because he has a strong fighting spirit, and I promised to help the world below. So we are going to gear him up with the finest equipment available, I just stopped by for a sit-rep." Said Cpt. Blaine as politefully as he could muster. "Sir, The Covenant vessel in front us seems unwilling to fire upon us, We were curi-" Started Ensign Shwartz. "THATS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SHOOTING LASER BEAMS AT MY PLANET FOR THE LAST GOD DAMNED HOUR!!!!" Snapped Gears, the marines in the room all pointed their pistols at him, considering him a threat. "The fox is right, so stand down. You guys mean for the past hour, you haven't even TRIED to attack them!" Said Blaine, who shielded Gears. "Sir, we didn't get a firing order from you-" Said a crew man. "What, now you idiots need me to hold your freaking hands!?! Lieutenant Durgan is the commanding officer when I run a ground op! He tells you when to fire!!!" Said Blaine, his temper rising. "Understood Captain... We will fire the next time it drops its shields." Said the Lieutenant. Blaine didn't even respond, he turned, and stormed off to the armory. Gears was left standing there, with a bunch of pissed off marines, with guns facing him. He smirked, and left the bridge casually. Gears, who was on his own traveling down the many halls of the ship, finally found an elevator, that lead to the Armory. He called it, and waited for the elevator to arrive. When it did, the doors opened and he walked in. He read the numbers that indicated the floor he was on, and there was an A, which he figured was the Armory. When he got to the first floor, the doors opened, and a very confused scientist entered, followed by a Marine, but this was not your ordinary marine, no, this one was clad in matte black armor, and the letters ODST were painted on the chest plate. The soldier gave a gruff sigh, and pushed a button on the elevator. The doors were about to open to the armory, when Gears got ready to leave the elevator, two strong hands grabbed at his necklace and pulled him back. "Where do you think you're going Doggy? Your my new pet!" The soldier said as he started to pet Gears on the head, he grasped the necklace again, and laughed. "What is this?!? Your collar... doggy? Nuh uh... I'm going to have to get you another one..." With that, he snapped the necklace off of Gears' neck. Panicked, the Scientist got off of the elevator at the next stop it took. Gears looked back at the soldier, and held out his hand, waiting for the soldier to give it back. "Oh, you want this back mutt? First you have to beg for it!!!" Said the soldier as it teased. Gears at this point, was literally glowing red from anger, and if this bastard didn't give his necklace back, he was going to suffer. "Oooh... is the doggy mad? BAD DOG!! I'm going to have to swat you for disobidience!" The man swung at Gears, whose fur got all dark, and his eyes red. He grabbed the fist, and twisted, until he heard a satisfying SNAP!! The man dropped to his knees, when Gears twisted the soldiers whole arm, and he heard it dislocate. The man screamed in torture, and attempted to press a button on the elevator, anything to get away from the angry fox. But Gears slammed the mans fist down on the emergency shutdown switch on the elevator. The box stopped in it's tracks. The man attempted to get up, but Gears swiped the mans legs out from under him, causing him to fall forward. The man tried to kick Gears, but instead grabbed it, stepping on the man's groin plate, and pulling on the leg until it came out of socket. The man howled in pain, but the worse wasn't over, Gears pulled off the man's helmet, and beat his face with it rapidly, the man grabbed it, and tossed it to another corner of the elevator. The man attempted to flip Gears the bird, but Gears grabbed his finger, and snapped it off. He force fed it to the man and said, "There's you treat, Doggy!" Before spitting on the man, and getting out of the Elevator. He had realized that it was his birthday today, and he wasn't about to take that shit from a human . Just before the doors closed though, Gears felt a sharp pain in his back, he yelped, and fell forward. When he awoke, Blaine was there, and tending to the wound on Gears' back. On the table next to him was the knife he had picked up on the ground, on it was engraved Victoria Bello . He must have dropped it on the elevator. "Where are we Captain Blaine?" Asked Gears. "In the armory, your quite lucky fox that I had a med kit here, and that the blade didn't go three inches to the right, or you'd be crippled for the rest of your life..." Said Blaine. "Hmm... I guess so, and I also guess that soldier should be lucky I spared him..." Gears said angrily. When they were finished, Gears got up, winced at the pain, but still fought through it. Blaine had Gears follow him through the armory, there he picked some weapons, a DMR *Designated Marksman Rifle*, a pistol, and three frag grenades. "Now we just need to get you some armor... come with me." Said Blaine reluctantly. They hurried over to the armor lockers. There Gears saw all sorts, the Matte black of the ODSTs, or the pale green of the Marines, but Gears did not expect the armor Blaine gave him. It was short, like him, but it was grey, almost as Grey as his fur. On it's chest was a painted Gear. It came with a helmet, that kinda reminded him of Blaine's. It had a grey visor, and magnetic clips on the hips and back. "This... is my kind of armor, it is energy shielded, so you'll be protected by bullets until their down, then seek cover... This armor set was one of my teammates, he was a fox/human half breed by the name of Thunder, but also with him was my other teammate Sledge, who was a Wolf halfbreed, they are both on my home planet protecting it, and I was supposed to meet up with them around now... this armor set is a back up suit, in case his needed repair, but seeing the circumstances, I bestow it upon you. Normally, to wear that suit, you would need to be a super soldier, like me, but I made some modifications, so it should work well for you." Gears was amazed by the complexity of the armor, it was so advanced, and yet, he craved to build his own suit in the future. But an alarm went off, Blaine knew that it meant the Covenant were planning an attack on the surface, so Gears had to put on the suit quickly, and attach all the weapons. Blaine lead Gears to the ODST drop pod zone, where he strapped in, nervous about being dropped to the surface, but also reluctant to finally get some well deserved revenge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5: Tip of the Spear Dr. Eggman sat there in his floating personal travel unit in the bridge of the Covenant Cruiser. He watched curiously at the Breaking the Ice as it launched mini silver things out the bottom of it. The things moved extremely fast, and actually caught on fire while entering the atmosphere. He pondered whether he should get the prophet's attention, or let it slide. Silently, he tapped into the Covenant mainframe, and looked brought up the video feed of one of the foot soldiers below, slaughtering all the animals that stepped in it's path. The Elite shot it's plasma rifle rapidly at the nearest overly grown bird, burn marks making their way up the poor animal. Dr. Eggman despised what they were doing, after all, he wasn't all that cruel, he just wanted to rule this planet, and the only reason he partnered up with these blood hungry savages was so he could get rid of that pest Sonic the Hedgehog, and his little fox buddies too. It was then that the Elite looked up, and Eggman watched as one of the things he watched get jettisoned land not even three feet away from the alien. The hatch popped, and launched, knocking the Elite back, with a force that popped it's energy shields. Curious as to what just happened, the Elite crept forward, but saw that the thing was empty. Turning around, the Elite nearly ran into the red and blue armor clad being in front of it, making a loud sounding battle cry, the Elite engaged a energy dagger, which was located on his left hand. He swung a few times at the Demon in standing before it, but it's hand was grabbed, and snapped backward, into its head, the body slammed to the ground, and all Eggman could see was the sky of Mobius. Eggman looked over his shoulder, to see the Prophet of Greed pointing at the video feed in terror. "My liege, what is the matter?" Said Eggman, who was clearly confused. "A DEMON!!! HERE!?!?!?!?! We must alert Anch I'bortee immediately, only he stands a chance against the demon, as he has killed many before..." With that, the Prophet called upon the hulking Elite, and sent him planet-side to kill the Spartan on Eggman's feed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hmmph... For a samurai like warrior, that was the easiest Elite fight I ever had... which makes 1,291 Elites killed. Must be getting lazy." Said Blaine triumphantly, looking around for the grey fox. He tried to bring up a Comm. link with the fox, but either the fox didn't know what to do, or was out of range. Blaine decided that his best course of action would be to search the town he had met the fox at. Sprinting as fast as he could, Blaine breathed heavily as he cleared the forest, seeing nothing but a burned town, with heat waves trailing up from the burnt planet. So much death and destruction, it reminded him of his time on Harvest, when the Covenant did their first ever glassing. Blaine remembered seeing the innocent civilians screaming and running, attempting to run from the hot beam from above. The day the UNSC had lost Harvest, told them that they were more or less likely going to lose the war, but Spartans would fight until they died, and that's what Blaine planned on doing at Reach, where Thunder and Sledge awaited him... god damn how he missed them, being with other Spartans, the grey fox though, he had the heart of a Spartan, and Blaine respected that. Hearing a rustle in the bushes behind him, he brought his gun to bare, and called whatever was hiding in there out, after a few seconds a bloodied adult Hedgehog crawled from the bushes. His fur was matted with scorch marks, and he must have been paralyzed from the waist down, because he couldn't even move his legs. He flipped onto his back, beckoning Blaine to come closer. Blaine knelt down, and propped the Hedgehog's head up. "They are attacking BirchWood, which is that way," The Hedgehog pointed in the direction of the town. "You must stop them, m-my family is there and... you must save them!" He said, as he coughed. The Hedgehog's breathing became labored, as he slowly died. Blaine closed the Hedgehog's eyes, and ran off in the direction of the town. Gears or not, he was going to save that Hedgehog family. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gears' pod landed with a sudden BUMP! When the door flew off, it struck a pack of Grunts, crushing them with it's weight. Pulling out his DMR, he scanned the area for hostiles, he couldn't remember where he was, other than he was in a forest. He must have gone off course, it didn't help when he suffered a from the shakes. He must have hit the joystick that controlled the pod's movement. He reorientated himself, before taking off in the woods. When he cleared the thistle, he noticed that he was on a cliff, that looked down at the Meadow in front of him, and it was the scariest thing he had seen. To his right was a Covenant Army, complete with flying attack vehicles, which his HUD called a Banshee. On it were two plasma cannons, and what appeared to be a plasma bomb mortar. As they flew around, they appeared to make wailing sounds. On the ground his HUD identified Ghosts, which were mini purple death machines, they had a boost feature, which made them speedy and easy to splatter people, it had two plasma cannons, and appeared to hover above the ground. The Scariest thing he saw was the big blue tank looking things behind the troops, his HUD identified it as a Wraith heavy mortar tank. It hovered off the ground and had a small boost feature. It had a primary plasma mortar cannon, that arced a huge explosive blob of blue plasma towards the opponent. It also had one plasma cannon, for self defense. It was deadly by the looks. In front of the tanks, but behind the main troops, were these big bulky things, with arm cannons on their right arm, they were clad in a deep blue armor, and had a pretty large shield on it's left arm. Looking at them, they appeared to be worms inside of the armor to create a single entity. To his left lied the UNSC/Mobian army. It consisted of all of the vehicles Gears had seen in the loading bay of the Frigate. The warthogs formed a line, the mongooses behind it. Behind those were the troops, all wearing hardly any armor, except those in the UNSC. Behind the troops were the tanks, which fired huge tungston shells at the enemy with blinding speed, and in the air were Falcons, which appeared to be helicopters with two rotors and two thrusters to push it forward. On the front was a Railgun, and two machine gun turrets on the sides. It seemed like the two Factions waited for Gears to arrive to start, because when he looked out over the edge, the two armies collided, bodies were thrown everywhere due to the explosions that followed. Gears watched the battle go on in terror, before bringing up his rifle. Before he could fire the DMR, he heard a rustle in the Bushes behind him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blaine finally cleared the woods, and saw a figure on the cliff in front of him. It was Gears alright, but the fox still snapped back, prepared to fire, but upon recognizing the Spartan, turned back, Blaine tapped him on the shoulder, and swapped his sniper rifle for the DMR. Gears happily traded, having some experience with snipers. Blaine backed up a ways, before charging and jumping over Gears, and down the steep cliff. His feet grinded down the rocky dirt wall. Before his feet touched the ground, he threw himself forward, diving under projectiles, and sliding under flying bodies. He held his pistol in his left hand and the DMR in his right, firing at the Covenant as he slid. He jumped up and sprinted towards the nearest warthog, when a giant bolt of blue plasma closed in on him. Blaine struck his fist into the ground, causing his overshields to overcharge, thus making them more powerful, the blue plasma hit him dead on, but nothing happened as he armor locked, when he released it, he sprinted to the warthog, and got in the gunner seat, just as a Osprey got in the driver seat. Hitching himself to the machine gun on the back, Blaine unleashed all hell on the Infantry of the Covenant, the bullets of the gun ripping them to shreds. Another one of the blue plasma bolts struck the front of the vehicle, and it flipped, ejecting the Osprey out, just to have it land right on top of it. Unstrapping himself, Blaine charged at the Wraith, he used the DMR to shoot at the gunner in the turret, but it had already unleashed fire. His shield popped, but he continued his charge, even as the bolts pelted him, causing his suit to scorch, when a Needle struck his shoulder, he yelled in pain, as he went into a fury. He threw his spent DMR aside, and jumped on the Wraith's gun, punching the Grunt square in the face, he pulled it out and threw it underneath the vehicle. He sat in the gun, while the Alien continued to drive him around, he shot at any and all the Covenant that he could, but there were too many friendlies, so he tried getting out, when he realised that his arm that got shot was numb, and he couldn't move it, and to make matters worse, the front hatch opened, and the Elite inside attempted to emerge, when Blaine heard a CRACK! and saw a little steam trail, that lead back to the cliff, looking back at the cock-pit, he saw the Elite's head explode upon the impact of the High Caliber bullet. There were a few more cracks, and three dead Elites came into reality around him, as their Active Camo disengaged. The number of UNSC dwindled, with hardly any Mobians left. The Covenant were largely affected by the battle as well, the UNSC attempted to force back the Covenant troops, as there were no more of the hulking Hunters with their arm cannons. The last Wraith was in poor shape, and that was the one that Blaine was standing on, so he got in the front hatch, placed a small bit of C4 in it, and sent it to boost forward. He jumped onto the front of it, driving his fist into the hard metal of the moving vehicle, his Shields overcharged again, and the moving bomb exploded when it connected with the remaining troops. --------------------------------------------------------------------- " NOOOOO!" Yelled Gears on the cliff. He clipped the sniper on his back, and slide down the side of the hill, until he touched the ground, he sprinted through the field of death, and came upon the wreckage. There, he saw his friends body. He attempted to move it, but it was extremely heavy, even with the suits enhanced speed and strength abilities. That was then Gears heard a coughing sound. His heart raced when he saw the Spartan move. "I thought you were dead!!!" Said Gears, who was panting heavily because of his run. "Oh... you don't know? Spartans don't die, we just go missing in action!" Said Blaine, he explained how that the UNSC didn't want to lower the morale of the Marines, therefore saying that no Spartan can be listed as KIA, only MIA or WIA. Gears spat at the idea of it, he thought that everyone deserved a proper burial. Gears noticed that Blaine's arm was bleeding, so he pointed to it. Blaine, who must have been in shock, added Biofoam to the wound. It would enter his wound, and cause the blood to clot for a temporary repair. Above, they heard the noises of Phantoms, dropping from the Covenant Cruiser, no doubt bringing reinforcements. Gears and Blaine commanded the remaining troops to set up a defensive perimeter in the town, where they would make a military outpost. Gears looked at the Meadow one last time, before entering Birchwood with the troops. As the troops set up an outpost, him and Blaine watched as the glassing beam charged up and shot down on the meadow, which was extremely close to the town. Gears and Blaine felt a wave of heat come from the meadow. It was either the Beginning of Victory, or the Beginning of the End for Mobius. |

Chapter 6: The Duel After the long beam of superheated plasma disintegrated, the meadow steamed and sizzled. Blaine shook his head as he found himself actually walking onto it. He felt the immense heat coming from his feet, but he felt impulsed to move across the fiery field. He felt like something important was awaiting him on the other side. Blaine had a strange feeling that the hedgehog he had met earlier was somehow subliminally sending him in the direction of it's family. Looking out across the field, he saw a cliff edge, where the Covenant had stationed themselves in the previous battle. Reaching the cliff side he looked over the edge, on the ground below he saw a home, it looked peaceful down there, no doubt it was indeed the hedgehog's home. Behind Blaine was a loud thud, but Blaine was too mesmerized by the beauty of this planet to realize that a hulking Elite engaged it's energy dagger behind him. It sliced Blaine across his shielded back, turned him around and kicked him square in the chest. Gasping in pain, Blaine fell down the cliff side, bouncing painfully off of the cliff sides. The rocks slowly peeling away his shields. When he landed on the ground, his shields finally popped. Staring at the sky, he saw the sun up above the cliff edge he had fallen from. Off of it jumped the Elite, which appeared as a shadow in front of the Sun. It looked determined to stomp on him at the speeds it was going. It was then that his Spartan reflexes kicked in, and time seemed to slow down as he rolled to the right. He jumped up and pulled out the sword Gears had policed from an Elite earlier. He charged at the would be landing site and swung when the timing was right. The Elite persisted though, and flourished back with incredible strength. This pushed Blaine back quite a ways, he sprinted towards the massive Elite while it charged forward. Their swords collided, causing a very nasty noise to erupt from them. ---------------------------------------------------------- Anch I'bortee laughed as the pathetic demon attempted to outmatch his Sanghelli strength. He lashed his sword out, but the quick human blocked it. The Elite kicked the human again, and sent him tumbling into the pathetic excuse for shelter behind it. The large Field Marshall would not fail the Prophet, like he had with the Covenants true Hierarchs, Truth, Mercy, and Regret. Diving forward, Anch struck again, the Human catching his sword hand and tackled the Elite. It took out it's pathetic pistol and shot the sword out of his hand. He grimaced as his shields nearly popped. The human was about to finish the warrior, when he grabbed it by the Helmet, and threw it towards the cliff. He collected himself, and picking up his sword headed for the unconscious demon. He heard a thud behind him, and found it to be a fairly puny human, with the letters ODST painted on it's chest. The figure attempted to tackle the Elite, before he kicked it away. He grabbed the spartan, and prepared to plunge it's sword into it, when the black clad figure dove into the way, taking the sword into it's chest. It grimaced as it took it's pistol and shot the Elite's shields down, it pulled out it's knife, and chucked it at his sword arm. The Elite ripped it out, but found that the hand couldn't move, so he retreated to the nearest Phantom, and took off to the cruiser. ------------------------------------------------- Gears stared dumbstruck as he realized Blaine was not there, he crossed the field cautiously in search of his friend. On the other side he saw a cliff side, and below it was a destroyed home, with a family of Hedgehogs huddled around two still figures. Gears slid down the hill, and sprinted over to the figures, dropping to his knees. He knew one was Blaine, and the other was an ODST. He approached Blaine and checked his pulse, he was alive! Gears moved on to the ODST, whose heartbeat was faint, and there was nothing he could do. The ODST weakly coughed, Gears took off his helmet to get a better look. The ODST had claw marks of all sorts over his face, and a missing middle finger. Gears gasped as he recognized it as his vent target a few hours ago. The ODST smiled and said, "Well, I dropped feet first into hell, now do your job and make sure it's crowded when I get there..... doggy." The ODST handed Gears his dog tags, and stroked his head lightly before his eyes turned into the back of his head. Gears didn't want to see him like that, so he put the ODST's helmet on it's head. Gears took a moment of silence, the ODST had been mauled by Gears, but still remained faithful to Blaine and by the looks of it saved his life. The ODST may not have been such a bad guy after all, and Gears felt regretful that he had actually attacked this ODST, who might have just been joking all along. Gears watched as Blaine slowly got up, wincing as he did so. Blaine looked to the ODST, and nearly burst out at the sight. Blaine knew that the ODST had saved him, and Blaine looked like he wished to have been conscious to have thanked the ODST face to face. Gears nodded and handed Blaine the dog tags, then went off to escort the confused Hedgehog family to Birchwood. --------------------------------------- Blaine stared at the dead ODST, and recognized it as his savior. But it wasn't that feature that almost made him burst out, it had been Lt. Durgan's youngest brother Phil. Durgan would be most upset. Phil, Joshua, and the rest of the Durgan brothers had been in the same squad as Blaine on Harvest. Blaine, Phil, and Joshua were the only remaining squad mates from Harvest. Blaine was sad because Phil had died on a unknown planet, and not on a human planet, like Reach or Earth. He closed his eyes, and held a brief moment of silence for his lost comrade. ---------------------------------------------------- Anch I'bortee strode into the Bridge of the Covenant ship, where Eggman and the Prophet were conversing over what the war with the Humans was about. Anch knelt, his eyes staring out blankly. "So... the great Demon killer returns. But did you bring me the demon's head?!? NO!!! You have brought me COWARDICE! I thought that the Sangheili people had brought Honor to the Covenant!!! Die with Honor, or Cower with Shame?! You are hereby stripped of your Rank, and are hereby assigned as a Dishonorable Guard to me. Your rank shall be that of Major and nothing else, you are to protect me with your life, and if you refuse, you will be fed to the Jackals." The Elite's eyes stung, he had brought his family great dishonor, and he was stuck as a guard!?! He bowed once more, before leaving, he was going to exact his revenge on both the demon and the Prophet... this he swore. *If you are curious what it might have looked like for Blaine with Anch kicking him off the cliff... look here for a demonstration! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIslQBtPwIU&feature=related ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 7: Reconcile Blaine looked up into the Mobian skies, watching as the Covenant cruiser's glassing beam heated up. It was preparing to fire on his location, his position given by the massive Elite no doubt. He lifted the limp ODST's body onto his shoulder while wielding an SMG he worked his way up the cliffside. After a while of climbing his hands grew weary from the tough rocks but he persisted and continued to climb. He finally had reached the top, as the beam fired behind him. He felt the extreme heat on his back and how much irritation it caused. His shields popped do to the radiation given off by the beam, so he knew he would have to run away towards Birchwood. As it continued to fire it's laser * * he looked up. Above him he saw the cruiser's shields were down, and he watched as Archer missles streaked towards the vulnerable hull. Watching the explosions carpet the entire port side of the ship gave Blaine the inspiration to keep going. He sprinted across the field and into Birchwood. Hearing a massive Earth shattering explosion he looked up one more time, this time seeing a MAC round glide through the air at blinding speeds and ripping through the hull. As if instantaneously the Cruiser re-engaged it's shields, turning and firing it's plasma torpedoes, which were hell on Halcyon class Frigates such as Blaine's. The plasma torpedo hit it's mark with a devastating explosion on the starboard side of the Breaking the Ice , the plasma burning white hot splashed against the vulnerable metal, it had burned an impressive hole in the ship. In a last ditch effort of escape, the cruiser fired off a few plasma rounds at the Frigate, before flying off to the North. The Frigate then sent down a few Pelicans, which made their way to Birchwood.Gears approached Blaine, having successfully escorting the Hedgehogs to safety. Blaine and Gears climbed aboard the Pelican dropships once more, as the engines roared in their Helmets again. The pilot closed the back hatch, and opened the door to the cockpit for the two soldiers to communicate with him. "Spartans.... good to know your still kicking after that hell of a battle down there! Lt. Durgan on the bridge requests a battle plan with you two, see where the hell that ship fled off to, and when we should take the fight to them!!!" Gears and Blaine sat silently, and the pilot stuck out a thumbs up before closing the door of the cockpit. In the seat next to Blaine was Phillip's corpse. They both sat there, sharing moments of silence for the soldier, remembering the good times that they had had. Gears really didn't recall a good time he had with the man, but out of respect tried to imagine a time when the ODST might have been a good man. Blaine had remembered his combat abilities on Harvest. The ODST was a Juggernaut, he was good enough to be a Spartan. He remembered watching Phil take out a shotgun and running into a Covenant outpost, and silently dispatched all of the watchmen before Blaine and Joshua could catch up. The memories of Phil seemed to melt themselves into Blaines subconscious, and he would never forget the man. The Pelican landed in the Docking Bay, which seemed a lot less filled since the last time Gears had been here. The two soldiers walked through the bay, the pilot took off and headed to the planet below. Blaine and Gears made their way through the corridors of the Ship, reaching an Elevator which they took to the Bridge. Once it stopped at it's destination, they exited it and headed through the enormous halls to the Bridge. On the way there Marines stopped to look at the strange Spartan fox that walked with their Captain. Blaine and Gears took off their helmets, but their eyes' winced as the intense light in the halls merely blinded them for a few moments. Stepping in the door to the Bridge, all the hands stood to attention as Gears and Blaine returned the salutes. Everyone went back to their stations, while Lt. Durgan walked over to them. "Ah, glad to have you two back... Sirs. Let us talk about the battle in the War room shall we?" He said nervously as he lead them to the War Room, which was not far in case of emergency. In the middle of the room stood a holographic display, which showed the current landscape of Mobius underneath the Frigate. They all took their seats, Blaine gently laying the dead ODST's carcass on the chair. "Oh sir, who is that by the way?" Joshua asked confusedly. Blaine just sat there for a few moments, holding his hands to his head like he was about to cry. Gears held a sorrowful face as he got the picture from Blaine's reaction to the question. Joshua looked with wide eyed horror as he walked over to the limp body of the ODST and pulled off it's helmet. Staring back at him was the milky glossed eyes of Phil. His face looked like he was in peace. It was heart felt, and smiling. Joshua cried out in both a yell and a sob , his face getting red with anger and sorrow. He screamed, and yelled until his lungs forced him to take a studdering breath. Looking over the face, he noticed claw and K9 teeth marks lining his brother's face, and the missing middle finger along with the gaping hole in his chest. He looked over to the only animal that he knew of that had been on the ship earlier. Gears looked back at him with a mournful look, as Joshua climbed on the table and crawled across it madly through the hologram, which disappeared at his touch, towards Gears. Gears flinched as the ODST tackled him, and started to strangle the fox! "YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!!! YOU FUCKING DOG!!!! I TRUSTED YOU!!! I THINK WE SHOULD LET YOUR WORLD BURN!!! TOO BAD YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO WITNESS THAT, BECAUSE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!! RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!" Gears, who clasped at his throat, felt the cold metal chamber of the Lieutenant's sidearm touch his temple and his eyes scrunched up, he knew this was the end to Gears. But he noticed the sudden release in pressure to his windpipe, and his lungs gratefully grabbed as much air as they could with every pain filled breath. The pistol was dropped, so he kicked it away. He looked up to see Blaine lifting the Lieutenant, who was screaming the same way as before... the screams of the man's pain dug deep into Gears, and the screams actually frightened Gears. "Calm down Joshua... it was NOT Gear's fault, surely he assaulted your brother, but he was pissed at our lack of firing upon the cruiser, and Phil had provoked him and he vented. I agree his methods were quite unorthodox, but surely if you were in his position you would have done the same. Phil did not die to the Fox's hand er... paw. It was by this massive Elite Field Marshall that had nearly done me in, and he dove in the way. He died a hero, and he shall never be forgotten." Said Blaine sternly "You had better hope he's right fox.... because mark my words: If I so much as notice a single thing of Foul Play with an Energy Sword that is not an Elite's fault... you will die, and no god forsaken Spartan will stop me from doing so!!!!" He screamed as he thrusted himself into his seat. "I am sorry for your lost Josh.... but now is not the time to come to conclusions, and the second the Covenant leave this Planet alone, the sooner Phil will have a burial. Back to the war... Gears has seen where the ship was heading, and I'm fairly certain the Covvies are going to attempt to Glass this planet's capitol, which would be??" Questioned Blaine. "Elmtown!!! Oh my god.... SONIC'S THERE!!" Said Gears, who dropped something shiny on the table as he rushed out of the room, placing his Helmet back on. "Sonic?" Said Blaine quizzically. "Sir, our plan of attack is to Assualt the cruiser from the inside while all of our ground units take out the Covenant on the ground, if we don't work fast.... well my promise to the Fox will be fufilled..." Said Joshua with venom. Josh crossed the room to take a look at the precious thing the cursed fox had dropped on the table purposefully. As he got closer he realized they were dog tags... his brother's dog tags. He looked away, and then back at them as his eyes teared up. He sobbed a few times and collapsed in the chair staring at the tags. Blaine knew what the Fox had done, and he smiled somewhat. He walked over to his friend and last remaining surviving squadmate from Harvest and pat him on the back apologetically, before working his way for the bridge. As he left the room all he could hear was the muffled sound of sobbing and crying emanating from the war room. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gears charged through the halls of the Breaking the Ice as he raced into the elevator. He took it down to the docking bay, where he saw not a single parachute or Jetpack, not even a pelican. Gears breathed deeply before stepping backwards a few feet. He rushed towards the bay's opening before diving out and into a free fall. He felt the forces of the wind push up on him, even though he was quickly reaching Terminal Velocity. He spread his arms and legs out, slowing his fall slightly. He held his gun tightly as he forced his armor to lock so that the gel layer would take the impact for his frail body. He squeezed his eyes tight as he braced for the impact. He felt anger for what had transpired. He regretted what he had down to that ODST, and he felt like an ass just being in the older brother's presence at the time. He also despised the Covenant for what they were doing to his world, and what they have done to his fellow Mobians in general. With each anger filled though his eyes stung, not with tears, but instead with blood. His eyes turned red, and he fur got darker as he felt the Adrenaline rush through him. He crashed, and luckily did not feel much, other than the massive stinging in his eyes and perhaps a headache. Looking up to where he had just dropped, he had guessed he fell at least one hundred feet. He tried to walk and miraculously he could still do so. He tried a bit of a sprint in the direction of ElmTown. He HAD to warn Sonic and Tails immediately! He would attempt to evacuate the giant city, and then Rendevous with Blaine for the following battle. He knew the end was nearing... he just didn't know what the turnout was going to be. He would either watch as the Covenant were destroyed here and now, or he would see exactly what the older brother had said earlier would happen to his planet... burn. |

Chapter 8: The Apocalypse Briskly sprinting through the forest, Gears knew that it wouldn't be long before the Covenant ship started to fire on ElmTown. He had to warn the others and evacuate the town as best he could or all his efforts would be in vain. He skillfully dodged left and right to avoid the tough branches of the trees. Running through the shrubs caused his boots to slip, his right foot getting caught in a root's loop he flipped in a 90 degree angle and landed on his back hard. He grunted at the amount of pain from his knife wound caused as it opened up. He cringed in pain, but felt the darkness sweep over him as he fainted. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Towering Infernos, dust falling like rain, Mobians running everywhere. Buildings collapsing on many families, Aliens running with blood lust. Elites with swords driving them into human and animal alike. Brutes raging and crushing the puny beings. Jackals laughing in strange alien tongues and Grunts kicking dead corpses like they were nothing but sand... and Gears was standing in the middle of it all. This... this hell was getting the better of him and he panic'd as he sprinted into a nearby building. He looked over his shoulder as the legion of alien troops followed him, running up the stairs and checking back once more, he faintly saw shadows of his alien pursuers on the wall behind him. He grabbed at his belt for grenades, but there wasn't any, so he turned back and continued sprinting. Every floor he passed he saw nothing but death. Bodies strewn across the floor like some kind of sick game of pick up sticks. With every floor he trekked the closer the aliens got to him. Reaching the top floor he turned around one last time, ejecting his current clip and adding a fresh one. He fired upon the monstrocities as they advanced, but the endless legion just kept on coming. He fired until his weapon clicked, meaning he was out of ammo. One of the Elites lifted him like a girl picking up a barbie doll for the first time in twenty years. It snarled in his face, before tossing him through the wall behind him, and onto the nearby building's roof. It jumped from the hole and attempted to land on him, he rolled to the right and barely missed the massive being. It jumped on him and pinned him to the ground, plasma dagger engaged and held to his neck. Gears, remembering what Joshua had said on the frigate, kicked the Elite with both of his legs into it's chest, lifting it into the air. When it landed he forced the dazed Elite's blade into it's juggular. Blood splurted up in the air, spraying the rooftop with neon purple blood. In a sick twisted kind of way, it reminded Gears of finger painting, just minus the paint, and the fingers. He jumped off of the small building, and on to the street where only more death awaited him. Behind him was another legion of the aliens, advancing on him. He wished they would go away, but they didn't, and they were like a bad case of the flu, it wasn't going away anytime soon. So he sprinted down the street, but yet they continued to advance, quickly catching up to him. He swerved right and sprinted down an alleyway. He had no ammo, his knife was missing, and an infinite battalion of aliens was coming to destroy him. He took off his helmet, sitting up against a trash bin. He closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable, when he heard a psst . Looking over towards the source of the noise, all he saw was an open door. He entered through it and put his helmet back on. It was pitch black in the building, despite the red lighting of the planet outside. He tried to search his way through, when he thought he heard something scrambling behind him. He turned 180 degrees, chills running down his back. He turned back around and searched further for someway out. He had found a doorway, which he passed through. A few steps in and he tripped. Under him it felt like a staircase, he heard more noises coming from behind and in front of him. He decided that going up the dark staircase may be the better choice in the situation. As he reached the top, he heard deep heavy breathing. Entering the room he heard it getting louder, when suddenly he heard the coursing of electricity, and the lights flickered to life, yet Gears wished that they hadn't of turned on. Inside all he saw was the mangled bodies of Aliens, Humans, and Animals. The breathing continued as Gears made his way out of the death filled room. It was the one thing he feared the most in life... death. He was not afraid to die, as long as it was natural causes. Death was a way of life, but all that he had seen in his lifetime gave him Necrophobia... the fear of death. As he continued through the dark passage ways, he saw a door at the end of the hall, through which he entered. On the other side of the room was the cause of the breathing sounds. It was Blaine, who was sitting there but he wasn't breathing, he was sobbing. Gears approached him saying, "Hey Blaine, whats wrong? You scared me there, the dark rooms, the breathing, all that stuff." Blaine did not respond, he just sat there sobbing away. Gears got closer, and reached a hand out to put on Blaine's shoulder, but the Spartan grabbed it, and twisted it. The intense pressure snapped the arm, and with a yank Blaine ripped off the arm. Gears screaming in pain, watched in horror as Blaine ripped off Gears' helmet and threw him to the ground. In the dark Gears heard nothing but a shotgun cocking. It fired, and pain seared in Gears' legs. He couldn't move them. Blaine bent down and looked the fox in the face, only it wasn't his traditional helmet that Gears saw. In the visor was a skull, and it stared at him angrilly. Gears shrieked. In the darkness Blaine stood back up and circled Gears. Bending down again, it wasn't Blaine he saw, it was Joshua the ODST's brother. "Your world.... is going to BURN until it's surface is but GLASS!!!!! Do you think you can escape the coming fire??? DO YOU!!!!" He yelled into Gears' face. Standing back up, all Gears could hear was, "Why'd you do it doggy? Weaken me before battle. I did nothing wrong... all I did was try and have some fun with the fresh meat.... it is your fault I was killed doggy. That covvie bastard would have been no match for me if I didn't go in half dead as it was!!!!" The figure just circled him, making Gears slightly go insane. " Ring around the rosie, Pockets full of Posies. Ashes... Ashessss, WE ALL FALL DOOOWNN!!!! " Said the figure as it bent over one last time, this time an Elite with it's Energy sword engaged drove it through Gears' abdomin. He gasped as it punctured both his lungs and slowly burnt his innards. He had failed to do it.... Mobius was doomed... it would burn for what he hadn't done. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gears awoke in shock, he felt his chest for hole, but there wasn't one, and his arms and leg were attached and functional. He stood up, and sprinted for ElmTown, finally breaking through the treeline. He looked at Mobius' capitol, which the towers and buildings were already on fire. Gears sprinted through the streets of the apocalyptic town in search of any survivors, along with Sonic and Tails. He weaved through the street, avoiding plasma. Going down an alley way he came across a dumpster, and his mind remembered seeing it so. Not to far away was the building he had entered in the dream, the one where he saw his demise. He walked inside, it being pitch black like in the dream. He raced up the stairs, but this time prepared his weapons. He walked into the room where he had seen Blaine, but only heard yelling this time. He cautiously engaged his flashlight, when he thought he had seen a yellow tail with a white tip. He approached it and tapped it with his foot. He heard a thud, and then a figure arose from behind. It was Tails!! Gears explained what was going on to the frightened fox. Tails nodded, stating that this room was plenty dark enough that he wouldn't be seen. He said that Sonic was in the street fighting off hordes of Robots and Aliens. Saying that Eggman had teamed up with the Aliens. The two foxes exited the building, when they saw a massive amount of Robots gathered around something. Tails pulled out a wrench, and Gears snapped the safety of his DMR. They approached the tin cans, when Tails got close enough, Gears pegged as many in the heads as he could. Tails bashing the bots as nuts and bolts flew in every which way. After clearing the metal minions up Gears could see what they had gathered around. It was Sonic, who was covered in burns and bruises. Gears checked for a pulse and was delighted to get one. He carefully attempted to awaken the sleeping Hedgehog. Sonic opened his eyes to see the two foxes.... well a armored fox and Tails. He grinned and gave Gears a thumbs up saying, "Hey, not too shabby!" Gears warned them of the ships plan, and with every single thing he told them, the wider their eye's grew in horror. "So... they burn planets? With plasma beams!!! They did it to Knothole village?!?!?! Oh my god.... how will we beat them?" Asked Tails "I don't know little buddy... but if their burning OUR planet, they're going to pay.. big time!!!" Said Sonic. "You guys head to Birchwood, the human's will patch you guys up and keep you safe." "What about you dude?" Said Sonic. "I'm going to kill as many of these bastards as I can, and evac the city before it gets hit." "Not alone your not!!!" Said Sonic frustatedly. "You have your destiny Sonic... and I have mine! You are supposed to defeat Eggman and save the day, and I have to save as many people as I can... now get going you two!" Said Gears in a demanding tone. Sonic huffed and speed off down the street, Tails looked at Gears with a tear running down his cheek, before turning back and chasing after Sonic. Gears looked back at the burning city, that's what he was supposed to be doing here. He ran off down the street, as he disappeared into the smoke. His visor luckily kept his vision clear, and his helmet gave him clean air to breathe. He stalked down the street. Seeing a group of Elites and Grunts harrassing a family of Squirrels. Gears fired on the Elites, pegging off their shields before they fell to the ground, pools of bloods forming underneath them. The Grunts, not able to see the assassin primed some plasma grenades and attached them to their chests before running towards the direction the bullets came from. Gears let them get a safe distance from the family before killing the lead one, his body slumped on the ground and the others tripped over him. The leader detonated, sending the others to their deaths as the body parts rained down on the street. Gears approached the family, and told them to head to Birchwood. After the family ran off, Gears check street to street, alleyway to alleyway for survivors. When he didn't come across any he entered the very tall Town Hall. He went floor to floor looking for anyone, finally he reached the top floor, and as he entered the doorway a hand shot out and grabbed him by the throat. It constricted him as it through his through a wall. He fell to the street below, and in a daze watched as the Elite jumped down towards him, he rolled left, but didn't move quick enough. He felt a few ribs crack as the Elite landed on him with great force. It had him pinned, and activated it's sword. It snarled in his face as it's drool dribbled on his visor. It pulled it's hand back as it prepared to plunge the sword into him, when he saw a blue flash slam into it's face, and a sniper bullet shooting the sword out of it's hand. The blue blur continued to pummel the Elite, as it attempted to retaliate. Gears took this moment to tackle it and stab it in the forehead with his knife. As it stopped moving he searched for his saviors. Above him he heard the sounds of a Pelican hovering. He looked up to see the back hatch open and a familiar Spartan with a sniper rifle in his hands. It did a two finger salute as it came in for a landing. In front of him Gears watched Sonic staring at him, stamping his foot impatiently. "Thanks Sonic... I was almost a goner there... I'm glad you showed up! That was kinda fast don't you think?" Gears said as he saw Sonic in gaws and bandaging. "It's no trouble, After all Sonic's the name... and Speed is my game! I saw you falling from the rooftop and I came running... now, you go with your friend up in that vehicle, and me and the freedom fighters will help with the evacuation down here!" Gears nodded as he approached the Pelican. Blaine got out and walked towards Gears, slapping his helmet, which caused his head to vibrate. "Are you stupid Gears! You jumped out at 100 feet in the air! For what? A family and your friends?? Well... your more of a Spartan than I am!! That was good work Gears, and you should be proud!" They entered the Pelican, which took off towards the cruiser. "Um... aren't we heading the wrong wa-" "Nope..." Blaine Interrupted. "But we-" Gears questioned. "Gears.... tell me something?" Asked Blaine "Um... Sure... what is it?" Gears said confusedly. "What did Phil say to you?" Questioned Blaine " The ODST that saved you? He said something like: I've done my part dropping into hell feet first, now it's your job to make it crowded when I get there..." When Gears said this Blaine laughed. "That sum bitch... Always like him to pull a fast one! What he said is exactly what we're doing.... we are going to take the fight to the cruiser, and make hell crowded when we get there. Because you might not have noticed, but on the back of this Pelican is a spare Slip-space generator, that we are going to use to bomb the cruiser." Gears nodded as the pelican made it's way to the cruiser, this was it... no turning back now. This was in his hands now; Mobius falls, or The Covenant die.... It was all up to how this next encounter goes. He sat there silently as Blaine reached into the cockpit and turned on some music... Borderline, dead inside, I don't mind, falling to pieces Count me in, violent, let's begin, feeding the sickness How do I, simplify, dislocate, the enemy's on the way Show me what it's like, to dream in black and white, so I can leave this world tonight. Full of fear, ever clear, I'll be here, fighting forever Curious, venomous, you'll find me, climbing to heaven Nevermind, turn back time, you'll be fine, I will get left behind Show me what it's like, to dream in black and white, so I can leave this world tonight. Holding on too tight, bring the breath of life, so I can leave this world behind. It only hurts just once, they're only broken bones, hide the hate inside Show me what it's like, to dream in black and white, so I can leave this world tonight. Holding on too tight, Breathe a breath of life, so I can leave this world behind~ "It's Unknown Soldier By Breaking Benjamin a group started back in the 21st century... dang they had good music then... now it's all just ****." Gears knew that Blaine was calming his head... after all, this was nearly a suicide mission. "It's very fitting for the current situation!!" Exclaimed Gears over the music. "I thought so too!" Said Blaine and the Pilot at the same time. Gears swallowed deeply as he looked back at the burning town. He hoped Sonic and the Freedom fighters would be safe. He had an amazing view from up there, all except the burning cities, and partially charcoaled forest. In the distance he could see his destroyed village. It was filled with death and destruction, and he would have his revenge for all of Knothole Village. His Mobius looked like it was in the apocalypse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 9: Solace The pelican slowly accelerated towards the Cruiser, as it fired another beam towards the planet below. Gears' anger fueled and burned as much as the plasma in that beam. While firing the beam, the ship was vulnerable to an attack, which is what the Breaking the Ice did, it's endless barrage of MAC rounds and Archer missles where run by the anger coursing through Lieutenant Durgan's veins. The rounds hurled towards the ship just as it's shields re-engaged. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "COME ON YOU BASTARDS, COME GET SOME!!!" Said Joshua as his commanded the salvo of missles. The rounds hurled towards the ship, as the shields re-engaged and took a great amount of the blow. The MAC's helped rip through the shield as the archer missles struck the hull dead on, weakening a zone for Blaine's Pelican to get through. "Fire another salvo ensign... show no mercy." Said Durgan with venom, his face was red, his eyes puffy from his crying. He scanned the radar as Covenant Seraphs charged towards his ship. They had plasma cannons on the front, along with plasma torpedoes for heavy damage. They fired upon the Ice as the plasma burned the port side slowly. "Quickly Ensign, fire the main turret to take care of those Seraphs!" "Negative Sir, Main Firing Systems offline!" Said the man, who was horrified. "Well ****... Blaine and the fox are on their own on this one... I'm calling on a retreat to Reach, we need Repairs, and Reach needs us more than those cursed animals below us!" He said Enthusiastically. "But sir... We need Blaine's directive to move the ship away from this planet!" Said a Marine. "You heard the man earlier, as long as he's off the ship and I'm alive, I'M in command of this ship, and I say **** the Captain and his stupid Animals! Now you will move this ship, or I will have you Court Marshalled!" He yelled. "Turning the ship sir, ETA to portal in 3 minutes!" Huffed the Ensign as he did as he was told. "I hate to leave Blaine behind, but we just can't stick around here and risk Reach like this, and I truly hope that he understands why we have left him behind." He said Exasperatedly. "Sir, ETA in 30 seconds!" the Ensign reported, his face full of anger and sorrow. "Good... farewell Blaine, may God be with you... you will be remembered Old Friend." said Joshua as he looked back at the planet behind him. The ship disappeared from view after going through the portal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gears heard a lot of explosions emanating from the Ice . Looking out the back of the Pelican, he watched as it turned around and headed through the portal before disappearing from view. " Mother FUCKER!!!!!" Gears said with anger in his voice. " What is it Gears?" questioned Blaine. "Your ship just turned tail and fled!!!!" Pointed Gears. " WHAT!!!!?!?!?!" Yelled Blaine as he charged to the back and looked out to the portal. "That chicken ****.... he left because he's pissed at your planet!!" "I thought you explained to him I had nothing to do with it!!!" "I tried... he wouldn't listen, but I couldn't let you die down there either!!" The pelican got even closer, and their wasn't even an opening to the ship, only a charred hull. The pilot of the Pelican, who stuck through with them turned around and opened the door. He threw Gears and Blaine a jetpack each. He smiled and gave them a thumbs up, before retracting the handles they were holding to look out the back. They grabbed their jetpacks and put them on as they tumbled out of the passenger bay. Blaine and Gears activated their packs and hovered there. Blaine started up a comm link to the Pelican. "What do you think your doing!!! Your our only remaining pelican!" " Sorry Cap'n, but you need to show these Covvies what fer. You're on your own fellas. Kilo-359 signing out." As the Pilot crashed his pelican into the charred hull, blowing a hole into the side big enough for them to fit through. They flew their way towards it, as it's shields re-engaged. They sat there and waited for it to shoot another glassing beam. The shield fell, and they flew through the hole, the bodies of Grunts, Jackals, and Elites strewn across the floor. They worked their way down the hall, coming across a Covenant barracks, where Grunts and Elites were resting. Sneaking their way in, Gears and Blaine pulled out their knives and started silently killing off the resting aliens, after all... there was no rest for the weary. Continuing through the halls, they were fortunate to meet little resistance. The little they did they had to take out with their knives as a way to stop the alarm from raising. Reaching the end of a hallway they opened a door, which as they entered they realized it was a large spacious room for Hunter training. Gears and Blaine turned to leave as they noticed the door was locked. Turning back they saw a pair of Hunters bounding towards them, arm cannons glowing as they prepared to fire. Blaine took out his SMG's and charged at the pair, as Gears pulled out his sniper. Blaine rushed around behind one while it swung it's shield arm at him. He unloaded both of his clips into it's exposed wormy back. It cringed in pain as it turn and swung again, striking Blaine with a force like a truck. Gears took the opportunity to shoot two sniper rounds into it's back. The other one was too busy attempting to shoot Gears to notice that it's comrade had fallen, and Blaine approached it from behind. He took out the Energy that he fought the elite with earlier and sunk it deep into the Hunter's back, as it cringed in pain he climbed up it's back and slit it's throat with the sword. Jumping off he turned to look at his work. He brushed some blood off of his shoulder and approached Gears. "That's really good shooting bro." They continued their ways through the room, coming across another hallway. As they walked their way through the Hall, Blaine stopped and listened into a door. Inside he heard the chuckling of a fat man. " HAHAHAHAHAHA! That hedgehog and his fox friends don't stand a CHANCE against this high tech machinery!!!" " I don't think I trust this machine human... are you sure it will work to help me kill the demon, and your foes?" "If it doesn't then my name isn't Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, the world's greatest ruler!!!" " But it is your name Human... I don't understand the joke. " Gears and Blaine opened the door to see Dr. Eggman and a hulking Elite standing next to a machine. "THE FOX!!!" Said Eggman panically. "THE DEMON!!!" Yelled the Elite who climbed into the machine, which appeared to be a skin tight robot suit for the already shielded Elite. Eggman ran off, climbed into a escape pod and shot off towards the planet.... "BASTARD!!!!" yelled Gears loudly. Blaine just stood there, looking at the Elite in the bio suit. He engaged a sword as it did to. They circled each other, while Gears watched, he knew that Blaine would want revenge for Phil. The two continued circling, waiting for the right move. Blaine charged, but the Elite was even faster and kicked him in the chest, sending him into a far wall. "This works... Forerunners be praised!!!" Anch cheered as he jumped towards the downed Spartan. Blaine stood up and used his jetpack to fly upwards just in time to avoid the Elite. He chucked a few grenades down, which popped his shields. It snarled and jumped up, punching him in the back he spiked the Spartan into the ground. He pinned the Spartan to the ground, attempting to stab him with the sword. Gears used his sniper to shoot it out of the Elite's hand. Blaine kicked the Elite off, but it grabbed his legs and tossed him aside. Gears shot at the Elite as it approached him. Blaine took the sword off of the ground and swung at the Elite from behind, who turned around and grabbed his sword hand, but Blaine persisted and continued to push. The Elite put the sword off track and it cut off the robot suit's left arm hinge, making the semi robotic arm fall off. The Elite roared as it lost the boosted strength in it's left arm, attempting to block the next strike, he sent it off course again and lost the Robot suit's right arm. With no boost in strength from the suit he was still easily stronger than the Spartan, who was now going for the neck. The Elite attempted to stop the attack one last time, and succeeded to push the sword away from the neck, but Blaine sliced at the robot leg, cutting it off. He climbed around it's back and pulled off the cockpit. He pulled the massive Elite out of the machine and tossed him into the corner. The Elite stood up, watching the Spartan slowly advance towards him. Anch decided that this time he would go out with honor... by killing the fox. Anch charged at Gears with an Energy Dagger engaged, and pinned Gears to the ground, the Blade getting close to his neck. He felt the heat come off of the blade as it grew nearer to his juggular. He watched Blaine run at the beast and tackle it from behind . He turned it around and pinned the Elite to the ground. As it slowly shifted in front of him Blaine said, " Ne contendas sit tantum bellum Lacedaemoniis. Haec vindicta. This is for Phil you Bastard!!" He yelled as he plunged his knife into the Elite's throat, killing it slowly. After being satisfying his revenge, Blaine stood pointing Gears to the Bridge of the cruiser. Blaine stood by the doorway while Gears took off his armor. Blaine noticed that the fox's fur was darker and his eyes were red. He smiled at Blaine before handing him the armor and walking into the door. From inside Blaine could hear. " What the holy rings are you?!?!? A fox eh? By any chance do you know of a human named Eggman?? I've been looking for him and- Hey... what are you doing??? Nice foxy.... nice foxy.... Gahh.... HELP ME ANCH!!!!! AHHHH AHHH AHHHHH!!!!! " Blaine could hear nothing but the intense cries of pain the Prophet inside, screaming in terror as the Fox slowly teared him to pieces. When he was finally dead, Gears said, " Thats for that poor kit's family, Sonic, Tails, and most importantly Mobius you sick son of a bitch! " He said as he spat at the corpse inside. He headed back through the door. Meanwhile, Blaine was in a corner of the room with an explosive charge set up. It would detonate in no less than five minutes, and anything near the ship at that time would be sucked into oblivion. Setting the charge while Gears put the armor back on, they both noticed that the bomb was malfunctioning. Gears pushed Blaine out of the Cruiser, knowing that Blaine had another planet to save, Gears hacked into the bomb's charge, linking it's detonation to his suit so that he could blow it up when he wished. He jumped out and felt the heat as he re-entered the atmosphere and turned to watch the explosion. The middle of the Cruiser imploded into a giant purple ball of light, that enveloped the entirety of the Covenant ship, sending it and it's crew into oblivion. The sky clouded up around Gears and Blaine as little bits of purple light fell with them like snow. The pair activated their Jetpacks and slowed their descent. But knowing it wasn't going to do much they armor locked and prayed they would live another day. Gears braced himself as he hurtled down to the planet he loves so much, Gears thought while he fell, he thought of the planet he had saved, and figured that this explosion would kill him, seeings how he was closer to it than Blaine was. When everything went black. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaine landed with a SLAM!!! as he looked up to find the fox in the sky, but couldn't see him. He turned to see Sonic and Tails approach him. " Where's Gears?" Asked Tails. " I don't think he made it..." He said as he bit his lip. " Bummer... I was starting to like that fox too." Said Sonic. " Well, lets tell the other Mobians... of Gears' Valiance." Said Blaine. " About that... all of the Human troops headed back to your ship and left... all thats left of you humans is this weird bomber thing that a human called a LongSword." Said Tails. As the three walked towards town, they took the time to build a mini statue of Gears slaying an Elite along with Mobians's names carved into the bottom or those lost... all except Gears. Blaine thought it would be fitting to treat Gears like a Spartan, and to play a recording out of his helmet's speakers, Amazing Grace. All of Mobius gathered together and hung their heads while they listened to the sad human music. Just as they heard a THUMP!!! from behind. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 10: Epilogue The Mobians all looked around confusedly for the source of the crash. Blaine smiled inside of his helmet and stopped the recording. He turned on the spot to see a armor clad figure laying there, he shook it, and heard it murmur something. "Jesus you crazy fool! One of these days your gonna jump and land on something as stubborn as you are! *Sgt. Johnson FTW!*" He said as he slapped the Fox's helmet. "I thought you had DIED!" "What... you didn't know? Spartans don't die-" Started Gears "We go missing in action... that we do Gears... that we do." finished Blaine. Sonic approached the two, and said, "So... your the last human here, what exactly do you plan to do now?" "I plan on taking that LongSword and getting my ship back, I also want to show Gears my Planet Reach and all that, bringing him back here in a few weeks." "Than you two might want to head out... the portal is closing..." Said Tails. "I wonder what caused that portal anyways..." Pondered Gears as his invention fell from the sky. He pulled off the back part to reveal that the batteries were dead. His mouth gaped as he realized that it was his invention that had brought Blaine and the Covenant to his planet... he had nearly killed his own planet. Blaine and him got up, and approached the LongSword, getting inside they buckled in as they engaged the thrusters. Sonic and the other mobians waved good bye to Gears and Blaine as it took off... they would be back in a few weeks to drop of Gears. Looking back at his tiny planet he looked up to the portal that would take him to Blaine's dimension. But it was becoming rapidly unstable. As the LongSword flew through it, the portal collapsed, dividing it in two. Gears and Blaine both blacked out as the LongSword tumbled through space. ---------------------------------------------------------- " This is the UNSC Frigate Breaking the Ice Reporting for Battle! We aren't going anywhere!" Reported Lieutenant Joshua Durgan. ou " Welcome Lt. Durgan, this is Ancher 9 of the ORDC *Orbital Reach Defense Core*. You are currently having a background check, and it would appear that a Spartan II named Cpt. Blaine- 007 is the current commander of your vessel, would you like to explain why he isn't hailing me?" Replied the Communication officer. " Lets say he decided to stay behind... We haven't had contact from him in two hours." Lied Josh. "Darn... another missing Spartan. Alright Lieutenant, you are cleared for landing." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coming out of the portal leading to Blaine's dimension, Gears and Blaine sat in the front seat of the LongSword, sending out a distress signal in hopes of being found. Blaine took this time to teach Gears how to pilot a LongSword, saying that it was the exact same as a Pelican and Falcon. So while they floated through space Gears practiced maneuvers and control of the deadly vehicle. Blaine found himself falling asleep as his eyes felt heavy. " UNSC LongSword, you are being hailed by the UNSC Frigate Waterloo . My name is Colonel Holland. Please report your Status!" Commanded the leader of the ship. Gears nudged Blaine, but when he didn't waken he took the mic from the dash and stated. " UNSC Waterloo this is UNSC Breaking the Ice LongSword 5. My name is Cpt. ... Captain Turner of the Spartan II program, second in command to Captain Blaine of the Spartan II program." Gears lied. " Ok, Captain Turner... your not on our records, are you perhaps ONI Section three?" Replied Holland curtly. "Yes Captain, I was on board the Ice for a mandatory inspection of the crew before we were attacked by a cruiser." Gears felt that he was lucky to have learned these terms from Blaine in the previous battle. " No ****... another Spartan from Sec 3. Alright son, would you like a lift?" Holland asked respectively. "Affirmative sir!" Gears said. "Welcome aboard Spartans! We are blessed to gain two more..." Gears carefully navigated into the Waterloo. The End. *Well... sort of, I am currently working on another Fiction called Acts of Courage, and will post it here when in a few. I will update it as I do on SSZ! Any comments of anything about this is appreciated!* |

* he looked up. Above him he saw the cruiser's shields were down, and he watched as Archer missles streaked towards the vulnerable hull. Watching the explosions carpet the entire port side of the ship gave Blaine the inspiration to keep going. He sprinted across the field and into Birchwood. Hearing a massive Earth shattering explosion he looked up one more time, this time seeing a MAC round glide through the air at blinding speeds and ripping through the hull. As if instantaneously the Cruiser re-engaged it's shields, turning and firing it's plasma torpedoes, which were hell on Halcyon class Frigates such as Blaine's. The plasma torpedo hit it's mark with a devastating explosion on the starboard side of the Breaking the Ice , the plasma burning white hot splashed against the vulnerable metal, it had burned an impressive hole in the ship. In a last ditch effort of escape, the cruiser fired off a few plasma rounds at the Frigate, before flying off to the North. The Frigate then sent down a few Pelicans, which made their way to Birchwood.
