Warning! Warning! Unknown target has been detected on port side it has already passed halfway through the sensor detection system before being detected it is advancing closer and very quickly, collusion will happen in three minutes if nothing changes! (AI)
The Sangheili Captain looked over as he was already on the platform his view is that of space so just looking over then a red triangle locked onto the target and he moved his hands to zoom in.
What appears to be a UNSC ship but its solid black not as if been pained black but more along the line that it's very structure Titanium alloy is black.
Stand down its an friendly ship. (Captain)
Captain, I am not detecting any life on the ship, I don't think its friendly ship. (AI)
Ship AIs have a habit of scanning for life to prevent any flood accidents but the flood has been destroyed already but its still the AI to protect the ship and all on it so a simple scan of life on other ships just happens to be one way to keep them safe.
The Captain waved his hand and seeing the scan over the ship is showing no life he sent a message to the ship right away.
Unknown ship arriving stop or we will have to open fire. (Captain)
After saying that he waved his hand and a the other Captains appeared and was alerted of the ship, then the Admrial of the fleet was alerted that then arrives to Specter and the other Founders.
___
Getting a view of the ship and an alarm bells triggered in my head seeing it.
Open fire! (Specter)
Yes, Sir. (Admiral)
___
The captain gained the word to fire done so and its already one minute until collusion, the purple beam fired and hit the front of the frigate but the unexpected happened, the Beam passed right through it like it was a Ghost ship, the black fog was split in half but once the beam passed to the other side it started condensing back together and not long it formed the UNSC Frigate once more.
Then a black beam fired from the Ghost ship where a Mac round would be fired out front the beam hits the shield of the Angel class ship as it did the Ghost ship collided with the ship shield, the shield started dropping and the other ships arrived and fired and like before the beam when entering dimmed significantly, as the ships are attacking more Ghost ships all UNSC ships arrived making a fleet of Ghost ships, even UNSC Infinity class ships arrived and started sending black beams that makes it practically Invisable in space, the beams are hitting the same ship that the first Ghost ship was attacking, it seems they are going to attack a single ship and not disperse the damage to the other attacking angel ships.
The angel class frigate being attacked had lost it's shield and the alloy was next being hit.
Warning! Shield has collapsed, recharge in progress! (A.I)
Warning! The alloy is being eaten through, the plasma shielding is resisting quite highly but it is still damaging through need to leave or we will have multiple breaches opening up a cross the ship. (AI)
The other ships charged in and literally put themselves between the Ghost ships and the Damaged Angel ship.
Sir, entering slip space and jumping away. (Captain)
Agreed, we will follow with you. (Admiral)
Slip space opened up and the damaged Angel ship passed through the others followed right after, the last ship to pass had a Ghost ship charge in after and entered Slip space that ship moved abnormally fast and evaded the other ship making its way to the shieldless Angel class ship.
Along the way the ships all bombarded it with beams and the Ghost ship started dimming, right as the Ghost ship was about to fire a powerful beam passed right through it but the Ghost ship collided with the Shieldless ship then it disappears as if it was not even there in the first place.
The shield returned back online allowing the others to breath normally again not to worry about the ship from being surprised attack and destroyed.
____
{Inside the Damaged ship bridge.}
Warning! Distress signal inside the ship, we have enemies on ship! (AI)
Lock down the ship. Activate the Anti-Flood system and take control over them, get everyone into safe areas away from the enemy. (Captain)
Affirmative. (AI)
___
The ship doors closed then locked as energy shield covered the doors and energy grids appeared in hallways the laser turrets revealed themselves out of the walls as the AI started controlling the systems, troops got armored and weapons and started guarding the locations the civilians are stationed.
Admiral, I have Enemies on board asking for support. (Captain)
On way. (Admiral)
The ships near by started docking and sending more troops to support, the AI guided them to the enemy and a battle took place the alloy being damaged as the Shadows very presence damages the alloy hull, the beams hit the shadows and hit the alloy hull also but they don't damage the alloy hull as the energy is actually redirected and absorbed then the Turrets gain the energy and releases at the enemy. Using the same systems that can connect the ships together to do a large powerful attack by shairing energy this does the same and help prevent weapons from damaging the hull in battles like this one.
The soldiers are looking down a hallway and its just pitch black wall of darkness with red looking eyes the black wall then sent black shadow bullets at them, hitting there shields as the shields got damaged two times then fighting Covenant weapons then the unexpected happened as Purple beams was entering the Wall of Darkness the wall shrank and what replaced it was shadows materialized into UNSC and Civilians Humanoid but solid shadow with a Lingering black fog with Red eyes with even Shadow fog mix UNSC weapons firing Shadow Bullets at them.
Turrets firing at the shadows made them burst into Fog that then made more of them the same happened when the troops Beam rifle fired into them one became two then the AI Activated the energy grid right behind them and moved it quickly from there back to the front the energy grid dimmed significantly as it entered a Shadow enemy then it got half way through tue enemies when it shut off, it was damaged by the corrosion attack but the Fog seemed less then before even less Shadow enemies present.
The turrets changed to a heavy shot its slower but more power then it fired, that seemed to do the trick the powerful hit was what seemed to be in need of as the Shadows burst into Fog the fog then vanished leaving behind only a empty hallway the constant none stop attack took over fifteen minutes just to finish the last shadow off.
The ones in the front had to back off to get there shields back up and then switched back with the previous team and repeating over and over to prevent death on there side but one was hit by the shadow and it had eaten through and the left arm armor and working its way on the arm itself, as for the arm it had became dry as if tree bark and lost all vitality making it look like a mummified arm.
Medic! (Soldier)
On it! (Medic)
_____
{In the Lab.}
Hologram of the Captain that was attacked.
We have the situation under control, we have checked the ship and its all clean, we also lit up the ship cheacking all shadows making sure there is nothing present, we have a injured soldier and the alloy hull is being repaired from the attack besides that we can still proceed as normal. [Captain]
I would like to see the patient bring them to the lab facility here. (Death)
A location was sent over.
I will need to see if there is any remains of the shadow present and see if they can track that part of the shadow or not. (Death)
I agree, no need to take chances and bring a tracking device to our home planet and endanger the others. (Specter)
Secure the lab, and I want all data that was collected after the fleet confronted the enemy head on. (Specter)
Sir, the fleet Admirals at our other planets have finished evacuation and bringing everyone to the artificial worlds closest to them, that then will enter slip space and jump to here. (Reaper)
I got information that Head Engineer has finished High Charity and that it can now hold more then five times the previous lives then before. (Ghost)
Good timing. (Specter)
Reaper after you deliver the civilians head out and go to all UNSC planets and start evacuation if they don't leave with you then ignore them, we need to be fast and save as many you can. (Specter)
On it. (Reaper)
Admiral hood arrived to the bridge and connected to the meeting.
Specter what is happening? [Hood]
The Galaxy is under attack and we need to reorganize, I will be regrouping everyone together I have a plan but its Classified even to you. From what I can tell they are able to take energy and make more of themselves, the attack on the ship you are on had five shadows at first but the attack had the beams dim then another Shadow appeared before the first was killed it made two, we had to use higher energy to over power the eating of the energy and even then it was almost made a second one before one was killed once and for all. (Specter)
We are not strong enough to kill this new enemy yet, I need to make a new energy weapon one that is even stronger then what we have present and that also means I need to look for a new energy source and work on new shields. But I will not be able to finish this list so quickly so we are evacuating and I sent fleets to help all your planets, if you make a hologram of yourself saying to evacuate with the Infinity Guardians then things will run smoother. (Specter)
You are running? [UNSC Admiral]
Another five UNSC Admirals walked into view allowing the Hologram to pick them up.
I thought you are powerful but it seems you are only so powerful and run when an even stronger enemy has arrived, you did not lose anyone and you won! But instead you are running? [UNSC Admiral 2]
Pathetic! [UNSC Admiral]
Enough! If you keep taking you will be sent into space, if not for my fleet Arrival and helping rescue your sorry asses you would have been killed by now! (Reaper)
Only idiots will throw there ships and troops into a war that has superior power then oneself, it will lead to useless deaths! (Ghost)
A retreat to get stronger will allow the chance to arm our already high amount of ships and troop count we have, gaining new upgraded weapons and shields to over power our enemy and not feed them to make more! So instead of attacking and let them Multiple faster to the point of out numbering us then we all get killed, we have already sent ships to all your planets to evacuate the civilians we are not leaving your people behind unless they choose to stay themselves they will be saved. (Death)
As you now know, the enemy uses energy to multiple, our weapons made more of them unless we used a higher energy beam to overpower the eating of the energy, we don't need more enemies when we can barely kill the ones already present. Attacking them is like like feeding your enemies and let yours army starve then battle them, why do that? Anyway we are retreating and preparing a full counter attack all at once. We are lucky we get the chance to fall back before it gets worse some are not lucky enough to get the chance to fall back and have full power when getting back at the enemy. (Specter)
Where are you falling back to? [Hood]
You will know soon, from what I seen so far if you don't come along then only death will be waiting for you here. I am telling you this also it's a 100% free of Shadow enemy and they will not be able to follow us, so we will be safe and not get attacked, we can use that to prepare for our attack. (Specter)
What? It is Dark spaceright? We can't travel that far we will be out of fuel by then and no way to restock on food and water the enemy was able to take all water how are we going to live! [UNSC Admiral]
Stop your whining, is Admirals this weak willed? [?]
Dr. Halsey. [Hood]
She still alive? (Death)
Sorry to disappoint. [Halsey]
What you said is right, the enemy can multiple by eating? Obsorbing Energy? I seen it happen and not by your weapons but by the planet they attacked, earth to be precise after hearing you talk about them needing energy to become more I remember how Earth was effected when they arrived it lost its energy Nature and water everything was taken if it gave energy it took it, and they grew more in number, I seen it as I watched the process of there arrival, first was the sun it was fast and if not having a lucky satellite pointing that way before power was cut and catching them moving to the Sun. but they are also smart, as they took the sun energy they left it barely stable so they can get the energy of the other planets also the energy they took from the sun was enough to attack earth that made the power get shut out as they made the black gas you seen that then covered earth then the gas got bigger then left but what they left behind was the shadows you fought probably to finish the planet off and probably go back to the sun to make sure they get all the energy they can. [Halsey]
That is not all, they left earth then what was there next destination? I received Intelligence that the gas that first attacked earth moved to the next planet closes and continued on its way means its target is all the other planets not just planets with life, you know how much energy a single planet has? [Halsey]
Holy! If just a beam can make two other shadows then a planet! (Death)
Right! We are going to be out numbered we probably already are and they are swiping plant to planet, if your plan is 100% that we can escape before, is it still that way now after hearing all that? [Halsey]
Yes. (Specter)
Alright, there you go, my Spartans will be joining Infinity Guardians. [Halsey]
You can't do that! [UNSC Admiral]
Watch me. [Halsey]
He has confidence and that is all I need to know following him will at least let me and my Spartans live longer then you leading everyone to there death just to get you a donut. [Halsey]
I agree, UNSC will be joining under Infinity Guardians protection to once again join to fight a common enemy. [Hood]
