Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Entering Requiem

When the battles started it was happening all at once and everywhere in the falaxy at once, the Covenant did not know what hit them when the attacks started but they are skilled and got organized quickly when the attacks started but still unable to withstand the slaughter as there ships got destroyed one after the next, the only place not effected by the large galaxy war was requiem as planned the covenant started converging there as a safe haven all Covenant that was able to escape the attacks moved there to regroup what was left of them. The covenant worlds was attacked by Reaper stopped the increase in Covenant that forced what was left to move to requiem and be on there last leg.

For three months when the attack started the scans from the towers showed no more Covenant was detected and all covenant planets habe been seezed other then Requiem but any ship equipped with cloaking technology will be able to stay out of sight from the towers. Today it was time, I ordered slip space rupture disrupters generators to be ready and joining forces with the UNSC the plan was being made.

____

This device will do the same as how your ship did on earth to prevent covenant from fleeing? (Hood)

Yes just not shield to stop anything from truly escaping, and once its locked down we will attack from all angles one covenant ship can make hell so got to make sure to have none get passed when the start the attack. (Specter)

What is this place the battle will take place? (Miranda)

Its a Forerunner planet that is acting as a large cell of a potential dangerous mad being, when we arrive the planet gravity well strength is unknown so if it openes prepare yourself even I will not be entering it so simply.

What is in the cell? What will happen if it gets out (Hood)

A Forurunner is inside, from the data I have he was not evil at first but then his daughter was killed by the pre-humans who had seen the flood arrive on the planet as the flood was spreading and getting stronger the pre-humans made the choice to prevent the flood from spreading off world they attacked and destroy the planet. Some things happened and the Forurunner turned the pre-humans into forced war slaves then then got his mind corrupted by the flood Gravemind he was locked up by his wife to clear his mind but I don't believe he will still have corrected his ways and forgive humans and will be killing you on sight. (Specter)

That... (Miranda)

You don't need to worry, even if he some how gets off the planet he will target me as I have the thing he will be seeking when he gets off the planet. Well preferably I don't want him to get off planet and make a mess or get that far into my plan, so lets not let him off the planet in the first place and end everything here once and for all. (Specter)

Sir, we are in position. (Tane)

Are you ready? (Specter)

I am, let's do it. (Hood)

The hologram of the two vanished, I look over and requiem is present and between Void Ring and the planet is hundreds of thousands Covenant ships, they had made new ship on a makeshift ship dock that is next to the planet in the four years many things has changed Lich and Vampire ships are just an example of what they have been working on, the Vampire is a atmosphere attack fighter and the Lich is the Covenants largest airborne deployment platform, the Lich boasts heavy armament and is capable of mass deployments of up to forty soldiers.

We are all in position. (Hood)

Wait, I am detecting a distress signal all of a sudden. (Miranda)

That is the Forward unto Dawn! Why is it here? (Hood)

Sir, I am heading to it. (Miranda)

Hold position. (Specter)

That is part of my plan I have already calculated the Arrival of Master Chief into this plan prepare your arrival and do as planned and we will all get to go home when its done.

Hold position. (Hood)

Sir? (Miranda)

Sir, the Generators are in place and ready to be activated. (Tane)

The UNSC Forward unto Dawn back half loated before the covenant forces and alerted them there they got inside and after a hour of waiting a Missile hit one of man many Corvettes blowing it up then the planet sent a powerful scanning beam that locked onto the Forward unto Dawn there it opened up and the gravity well started pulling in every ship around, covenant moved away, the ones that was further away got free but the closer ones had been taken inside as they crashed and smashed into each and being taken in there shields activated preventing many ships from getting destroyed but not all was as lucky and exploded from impact.

Advance! (Specter)

Slip space ruptures opened up all around the planet and started attacking the covenant, the ships moving away was being attacked all of a sudden started countering, UNSC ships engaged and Infinity Guardians ships attacked many Covenant was actually attempting to escape but they found that they are unable to use slip space as its been blocked but that made them attack like trapped beasts even going into ramming into other ships.

There the large scale war started, ships exploded on all sides UNSC still took the most damage even with Angel class Frigates blocking a hit from the plasma for the UNSC ships even they got destroyed. That did not stop the battle but made it larger as covenant assault carriers sending out seraphs in waves and phantoms. They started using every weapon on there ships sending waves of plasma turrets, plasma laser turrets and plasma torpedoes all being fired with such large waves and many there was no place to evade and Infinity Guardians ships got destroyed by the wave of attacks, Supercarriers attacking was doing lot of damage but they started getting destroyed by the powerful beams there was a lone Supercarrier in the back attacking behind the covenant fleet its one of the targets.

Void Ring cut through the Covenant fleet making its way to the Supercarrier probably the last of its ship as the Void Ring was attacking the fleet itself the Supercarrier was attacking being distracted by Void Ring, Infinity Guardians Battleships with Cruisers flanking the Supercarrier the Battleships breached the Supercarrier and started fighting inside the ship moving to the shipmaster Brute, the Cruisers attacked the Covenant fleet preventing them from helping.

Covenant Corvette and Cruisers engaging in combat with the Void Ring was one hit killed and seeing the Supercarrier is being taken over from the inside they moved to help but purple beams sliced through the shield and then the ship all at once.

Pelicans joined the fighters and attacked the covenant Phantoms and Seraphs moving through the fleet Mac rounds smashed against many shieldless ships and it was devastating the ships having such a huge mass rip right through the hull sending chunks of ship flying into space before it exploded the pods sent out to get away was not strong enough to leave the planet gravity well they entered requiem.

Sir the Covenant fleets have been mostly destroyed what is the plan on entering the planet gravity well without being pulled inside? (Tane)

We don't fight it. (Specter)

Sir? (Tane)

Hood appeared on the Hologram with Miranda.

Commander Tane Scan the planet, Admiral Hood can you clean the rest up here? (Specter)

Yes. (Hood)

I leave it to you then, Commander Tane here will take control over Void Ring, Commander Miranda Keyes with me. We will be entering the Gravity well, transfer what Vehicles to this Battleship I am marking for you. (Specter)

Will we be able to enter without being brought down by the gravity well? (Miranda)

Lets have a look shall we? (Specter)

A hologram of the planet appeared, going 3D it displayed Multiple levels all the way into the interior core of the planet where its showing that the planet is hollow.

More data appeared on the side displaying the power of the gravity well, it has quite the power but once you pass a threshold the gravity returns to normal earth gravity level there is also a EMP pulse matching the pulse sent by the portal in earth.

It will be fine thought the gravity was going to be stronger its about the same as getting close to a Sun gravity well, the bad point is the EMP that is pulsating through the opening. (Specter)

Our ships will not be able to enter safely? (Miranda)

Not exactly, wrong but not correct also. The pulse will stop your systems but it will keep your ship power active for a bit and it will have enough power to fall to a feather speed so when you make contact with the ground you will not damage anything. (Specter)

It seems to be a hacking system built into the pulse, something will force you to land one way or another. (Specter)

Good thing my Ships are not going to be effected so I can provide help and escorte beside you as you fall deploying troops at the same time. (Specter)

We will be grounded then how long will it last? (Miranda)

How ever long it will, lets process inside then no need to talk about it. (Specter)

____

Void Ring sent a small supply ship followed by many other ships, they flew to a Battleship angel class then a battleship UNSC flew over Miranda is controlling it then a wave of pelican with tanks and warthogs flew from other ships close by and made there way to the Battleships and started organizing inside.

On the bridge of the Battleship angel class.

The door opened and Specter with Four Beam Angels two stopping at the door outside and another stopping at the door inside.

Founder Specter! (Captain)

Captain Evo 'Hazum, at ease. I am leaving you in command of your ship just think of me as a visitor. (Specter)

Yes, Sir. (Evo)

Sir, I am receiving a message from a UNSC Infinity class ship, it seems to be asking for Founder Specter. (Comm specialist)

Sir. (Evo)

Patch it through. (Specter)

This is Captain Rio of the Infinity being named Infinity as it was the first of its kind, I will be coming with you on entering the planet. (Rio)

Alright, enter but be ready for combat it will not be a smooth entry and once you are on the ground secure the area around your ship until its back up in the sky. (Specter)

No disrespect Founder Specter, but I know what I am doing. (Rio)

Good, then I will not be giving you advise then and let you be. (Specter)

Are you ready? (Specter)

Yes. (Rio)

Good here. (Miranda)

Let's enter the gravity well then, Captain Evo will you. (Specter)

With pleasure, Sir! (Evo)

The two Battleships and with Infinity entered the Gravity well the two UNSC ships lost control of there ships temporary and started guiding through the sky, Evo followed the two falling ships at a distance to not have an accidental collation and processed further into the planet as planned.
