This barley surprised Jacob. If it was anyone else they would have been a little stunned but he knew it was coming sooner or later.
"God this shit is disgusting"
Of course it dosent mean he's completely imune to it.
Elites were screaming in pain in fear while running away or just jumping into the spores and suicide bombing with no honor.
all the grunts in the area were all either dead or infected trying to bomb there old comrads.
Jacob just ran past the hall way using his speed to kill the weaker infection forms and getting to the deeper parts of the base. It was the biggest covenant base on the halo so Jacob was assigned to blow it up.
It was underground and was a Forerunner construct so he really couldn't break it with 1 hit either.
"YoU ArE DiFferEnt ThEn ThE OthERs" a deep resonating voice boomed all across his mind as soon as he got to the lower levels.
Is eyes widened it total bafflement. Someone in this universe could still come into his mind?
(Oh you poor soul, non comic reader)
He looked all around, knowing it had to be the grave mind, trying to destroy the bastard.
He stopped looking and once again started sprinting. All the way down he was killing all kinds of infection forms and spores. Every where he went green things would simply explode as the blur was going deeper and deeper into the grotesque and destroyed base.
He finaly reached the bottom and found something that would haunt him for years.
He finally reached the fusion reactor at the bottom and found resistance. He couldn't move for some reason.
His mind thought at a million miles a second going over and over what was happening, trying to recall anything from the games that could even be close to his strength but nothing came to mind.
He had already killed the Didact and that dude was literally the god of the forerunners who were the gods of the covenant so who da fuck was this?
"YoU KnOw ThInGs YOUr kiNd ShOUld NoT KnOw" a gutral venomous sound penetrated his mind once again but this time he could put the voice to a figure.
It was a disfigured green sludge that was formed like the beserkers in halo 3 but more... sentient. It was definitely not a grave mind.
"We..ARe ThE PreCuRSoRS tHe PrIMordial OF THIS GALAXY" the voice raised in pride as its body dissapered from view.
Jacob put up his arm and blocked a strike from the flood forefather.
The strike sent him flying back and his eyes widened in horror. The strength of this being was absolutely insane.
The Primordial sent hundred of combat forms at the spartan.
Jacob pulled out a gun, the first time he had used a weapon in awhile, and started fireing at the same time as attacking.
A punch here, a kick here, a random ass headbutt here. He easily dispatched the army in seconds but they kept on coming back with more and more combat forms.
The Primordial let a humanoid figure walk out of its grotesque flesh. It was green in nature, its hair was yellow as its towering stature and piercing orange eyes gave off a powerful aura that surrounded it.
The being opened its mouth and with a normal voice said.
"Lets see what the newer generation IS LIKE" its smooth tone was ended with a blood thirsty yell as he ran towards Jacob.
The spartan in question was still destroying Flood combat forms when he quickly sensed danger.
He turned around just in time to grab a fist that was centimeters away from landing upon his face.
He quickly shoved his foot into the forerunners unbreakable material and made a huge crater throwing all of the weaker flood forms into the walls surrounding them.
The Primordials human avatar quickly replied with a round house kick going towards Jacobs ribs.
The Veteran quickly put his elbow in the area to block the kick but some how the leg disappeared, the whole human avatars form changed into a stabbing stance as a knife made its way into Jacobs stomach cutting through the humans strongest material like butter.
Jacob quickly dodged the rest of the attack and realized that the Primordial still had some Precursor technology.
What ever that knife and that weird projector like thing was something he had never seen in any forerunner installation.
while he was thinking this he was quickly dodging the Primordials light speed jabs as fast as he could.
Finaly he saw an opening and went for a punch when a green flesh like tentacle came out from the man's arm and grabbed his wrist.
Jacob quickly broke out of the restraint but it was to late as the opening had closed and the Primordial sent a kick this time it was real and landed onto his chest area breaking off some of his chest plate and sending him into the wall.
Jacob stayed still in the crater waiting until the Precursor was right next to him and as fast he could sent a punch screaming towards the flood forefathers head.
Once again his position changed instantly showing that he was still 10 feet away but it was not that for to long as the knife once again made its way into Jacobs stomach its material making him cough blood into his visor.
Jacob brought his elbow down on the arm making the thing pull back and quickly leaped in the air and grappled the Primordial in a head lock.
He punched it 2 times before another fleshy tendril came out of its body. Yet this time Jacob was ready for it and dodged at the perfect moment.
He landed on the ceiling and used his footing to get into combat once again with a speedy push off.
He was able to land a punch square into the face of the Primordial, but just as previous encounters the alien fizzled out of existence.
Jacob stayed calm as he caught a wrist that was holding a knife inches away from his forehead.
He flipped the wrist up and snatched the knife that had been giving him lots of problems.
He quickly got into a stance with the knife in a reversed grip as the Human figure chuckles at what are main character had done.
The being took out another knife and sprinted at Jacob.
They clashed with there knifes for a few blows before the Primordial used the fizzle tech once again but once again Jacob found his stab and quickly blocked. He even retaliated with a punch to the beings throat.
Jacob was going to follow up his punch but he had to back flip as he felt danger coming towards him at high speeds.
When he looked where he just was he saw another Human like Primordial standing right next to the old one slowly flipping its knife with a smile
