Rosch: Yes Commander what can I do for you? Any new information?
T'mar: Not exactly. I'm trying to bring Allington in for the charges the Republic has against her. To do that, I need a few things from S.H.I.E.L.D. More specifically: you.
First, what's your interest in her? And don't give me the TRIBBLE you give your supervisors. You're practically obsessed with capturing her. Why?
Sinclaire: well I'm glad they achieved something you all hadn't. Now what do you plan to do though.
Preserver: My memory as to my early childhood is gone.. I was born we were fighting sentient machines The Eblisi and since I am the only one left.. I plan my revenge on them...
*Looks and notices his confusion...*
*He grasps Sinclaire's shoulder*
*He sees that they have returned but delayed...*
So...The Eblisi have arrived in this cycle but you delayed them... at great cost.
*Patrick comes up*
Patrick: Can you tell us anything?
Preserver: No... I was no scientist... All I was taught was warfare. They invaded before I was born... All I know is that. They are insidious as the demons of my culture and these shadows you speak of.

Rosch: Justice... someone has to speak for the dead...
You can read my mind Commander I am as sincere as you could want. Why would I lie?
Rosch: Yes I saw that memo.. Officially I can't... But I am human so.. They can go to hell..
T'mar: Kinda hoping you'd say that.
I have a plan to take her in, but I need to get onto the Churchill without anyone knowing. You can do that for me.
*Dalos Alpha Prime. The Shadow Planetkiller is in orbit and starting to surround the planet. Drazaak stands watching when suddenly he sees a burst of white light inside the cloud. The Cloud starts to break up.*
Drazaak: Allington.
Ryan: What can I say?
*He turns around to see Ryan standing there, his eyes glowing blue.*
Throwing a wrench in your plans runs in the family!
Drazaak: Mor'dred inhabiting Soval's body was his mistake. He didn't feel we should wait to be able to return in our true form. I, however, did not make that mistake.
*His hands glow red as he raises them on Ryan.*
Now feel the wrath of a true Shadow Lord!
*In the cloud, Sam is blasting the control struts in the hope of killing the cloud. Suddenly, she feels the Forge Twilight Energy start to choke her, even in her EV suit.*
Sam: I... can't... do it!
Angel *in Sam's mind*: Yes you can!
Drazaak used you to make this happen. Are you really going to let him win?
*Sam's eyes release a burst of white energy. As she screams in pain, her body releases a massive explosion of white energy, bright enough to be seen on the planet. After a few seconds, the cloud begins to break apart, and the skies are blue from sunlight again.
In orbit, Sam starts to wake up, her face slightly cracked and releasing white energy as she sees a series of red and blue energy blasts. She then sees two energy beams smash into eachother, the red one starting to overpower the blue.*
Sam *faint*: Drazaak...
*Her hands start to glow white as she vanishes in a flash. She reappears a few meters away, behind Drazaak as his blast knocks Ryan out.*
Drazaak: Fool! Your kind could never hope to defeat us!
Sam: DRAZAAK!
*Drazaak turns around, seeing Sam there as a white beam of energy screams towards him. He catches it with a shield, being pushed back by it as Sam starts to overpower him. Suddenly, he vanishes into a red portal.

Sam: This isn't over. Not while Drazaak has the S'tak'ra. He can keep this up.
Ryan: Not without you. You're the reason he was able to open portals that big in the first place.
Sam: He just needed someone to break the lock - letting those ships in was just a bonus.
I turned the key. Now he can just keep opening the door.
Ryan: But we can keep a lid on it now - keep it from getting this bad again.
Sam: No. He's patient. He's waited 100 years for this - he can wait a little longer.
He'll be back, and I don't know if we can stop him.

Dorman: Everyone. Celebrate now.. We still have a lot of work ahead of us. This is not over yet.
*The bridge crew salute him... and continue on..*
Dorman: Have Admiral Weynal ...
Commander Flak: Sir Weynal is already on his way out.. He sends his regards.
Dorman: Very well.
Leave a token force to oversee the return of the refugees and a return of the Republic government. Also to have patrols set up in conjunction with Republic forces, I don't want another Shadow vessel in this area.
Flak: Aye sir.
Dorman: Where is the USS Freedom..
Flak: It is still on mission from Admiral Bright..
Dorman: Alright.. Hopefully we don't see any strange things go on..
* Elsewhere human colony near UNSC (CIS space) Border worlds under claim of the Federation.. A larger vessel comes into range of the world and comms go dead. Triggering a ping on the Vanguard tracker. Colony Helios *
Preserver: Yes.. But what concerns me is that there were millions if not billions of my kind indoctrinated like that one.. What are they doing? I need to destroy them out of mercy..
Patrick: We found 2 of your peoples archives on Mars and Defera before the Borg destroyed the world.
Preserver: Then Why did you not prepare human?
Patrick: It takes time to decode the language and we did not really know about it. One was taken and we have not found it.
The One on Mars is still being looked at..
Preserver: By the six.... We need to find my people and find a way to end the war with these foolish creatures.

T'mar: She doesn't know that her husband's been arrested and suspended yet. Today's Friday.
She'll be going to see him on the Churchill tonight, and when she does, I'll be waiting for her.
But first I need to get on the Churchill without anyone knowing. That's why I need your help.
Preserver: Yes.. But what concerns me is that there were millions if not billions of my kind indoctrinated like that one.. What are they doing? I need to destroy them out of mercy..

Sinclaire: so we can decode everything now. And then go on a mercy killing rampage. The problem is where do we find all your evil friends.
Elsewhere
After spending almost 2 full days Jacob returns to the ship with sierra squad. They all are taken to the med bay to get looked at.

After spending almost 2 full days Jacob returns to the ship with sierra squad. They all are taken to the med bay to get looked at.
Preserver: They are working for The Eblisi now.. So one can assume that they are working for them.. Their ship is noticeable until they start doing something... As far as that goes I doubt it.
*OOC: Hey Ryan.. If you are not going to use Vanguard for anything I think going to that Human colony would be a start. There they meet this guy and take him in. Call it one of my last things I am going to do before your endgame.. Less dangerous but trust me...*
*Danny is looking at the ticker feed and notices a human colony has gone dark...*
Jacob and Sierra-1 follow the ODST to a building where they are escorted into a low lighted room.
Voice: please have a seat ou both must be tired after what you where both been through.
Jacob and Sierra-1 both look at each other and sit down.
Admiral Telion: now im sure you both are wondering why you where called here. Let me cut right to it then. What you saw on the station is not to be told to anyone. What happened there is classified by numerous....
Jacob: excuse me then you better tell me what the hell was going on there that i wasnt told about. Because may i remind you that as a vice admiral and head of ONI section 3 research division i am to be told of ALL research going on here in at least UNSC space. Or have you forgotten that.
Telion: gentlemen please im only doing what im commanded to do.
Jacob gets up as Sierra-01 gets up to follow
Telion: where you going?
Jacob: to arrest the persons responsible for what happened on that station.
As they walk out
Jacob: Sierra-01 get your squad together we are going to have a little chat with del rio and metran since they are both together right now. Also inform the now Fleet admiral Cooper that he is in command and have him and General Black protected.
Sierra-01: Yes sir
A few min later Jacob with a squad of gryphon super soldiers walks into Del Rios office as Del Rio and Metran are talking they both look up shocked.
Jacob: easy way or hard way gentlemen
Metran stands up reaching for his saber
Jacob: hard it is
Instantly his armor activates as he fires a repulsor at metran sending him through the wall.
Jacob: you all make sure he doesnt leave.
He then leaps out the whole he made in the wall as there battle begins. Troops start moving around them watching the two as they battle.Metran has the strength while Jacob can move faster. Jacob fires a repulsor at metran again sending him flying but metran regains himself mid air and lands.Grabbing Jacob and throwing him into a nearby wall as he starts to get up metran slams him again into the wall before landing his fist into his chest cracking his suit before jacob can move metran takes him and slams his head into the metal ground. Causing jacobs hud to go staticy. Before metran go do anything else an explosion sends him flying as Sierra-01 fires a rocket launcher at him. While metran is still getting up Sierra-01 grabs jacob lifting him up as he gets ready to fire another rocket.
Sierra-01: sir are you alright
Jacob takes off his helmet as blood starts coming out a large gash on his face
Jacob: ive been better.Lets finish this shall we.
As they turn around metran pierces Sierra-01 through the chest with his saber while sending an energy blast at jacob that send hims flying. Metran lets Siera-01 fall to the ground as he walks over to Jacob.
Metran: now i get to finish you and deal with any other officer who stands against me or my master.
he goes to cut jacob but jacobs rolls firing his repulsor as he does so. He lands a hit but it doesnt phase him.
Metran: you shoul have brought your whole team alone you cant stop me.
Metran swings again this time cutting a large gash into his chest cutting right through his armor. Jacob falls to the ground as he lets out a scream. Metran then picks him up throwing him into a wall again breaking ribs in the process. He pick him up again holding his saber ready to strike.
Metran: and now you know buts its to late to stop me.
Jacob smiles weakly: oh i dont think so
He opens his hand showing he is holding a protoype grenade he detonates it as it send him flying and metran vanishes. Medics arrive rushing him into the hospital.
Fleet Admiral Cooper soon arrives flanked by Sierra-04,02
Cooper: status?
Doctor: Its a miracle he is still breathing and alive. He broke 4 ribs has massive internal bleeding.severe damage to his throat and vocal cord area. broke his arm in 3 places has serious brain tissue damage and collapsed one of his lungs not to mention what happened to his eyes b using that grenade that close.
Cooper: but he will live?
Doctor: at this point we can only wait and see. I really dont know.
Cooper: and Sierra-01
Doctor: im sorry but he was dead by the time medics arrived.
Cooper walks out
Cooper: serina get me the gc and tell them we are handing over Del Rio for any crimes he was accused of against the rebels. Also try to get me the rebel leaders. Inform the C.I.S council of the changes in command and inform the GC that Metran was killed.
Serina: aye sir.
Cooper: im doing playing games with these people any more.
OOC: yeah i know it was long but metran isnt really dead hes somewhere else right now.

Danny: Cap... you might want to see this.
Sanders: Oh boy.
*5 minutes later, the whole Vanguard is there, with Blake out of his armour and Sanders leaning on the wall. Forest walks in.*
Forest: Sorry. The Citadel delayed my transport request. Apparently some dignitary was beaming down at the same time and my status as a member of Vanguard means nothing because I'm a freak!
Sanders: Mike, relax. We're moving into orbit onto the new Space Station tomorrow. Don't worry about the Citadel.

Okay, Danny, give us the full brief.
Danny: Alright, the Human colony Helios has gone dark. This is the third one in a month. There is no reported shadow activity in the area.. Holtz and company are sending something that can help us out in this mission and it should be here soon. I don't know what it is the man was a bit cryptic...
Aside from that we have the full team here including team two... What we do know is to expect anything at the colony. If there are hostiles lethal force is authorized. We are to save the colonists if that is possible...
Grey Fox: *his helm open* What are they sending?
Pyro: Who knows. People do call us a walking freak show.
Danny: Can that talk. We keep their nightmares from coming true. We are heading out at about 0700.
*The conduit opens up and Sinclaire and the Preserver come through which startles the rest of them..*

Sinclaire: so we can decode everything now. And then go on a mercy killing rampage. The problem is where do we find all your evil friends.
Elsewhere
After spending almost 2 full days Jacob returns to the ship with sierra squad. They all are taken to the med bay to get looked at.
Rosch: *Slides her what she needs including authorization, including a transmitter to call SHIELD there in case.*
For emergencies only.. Is that clear Commander?
You did not get any of this from me.
Preserver: They are working for The Eblisi now.. So one can assume that they are working for them.. Their ship is noticeable until they start doing something... As far as that goes I doubt it.
*OOC: Hey Ryan.. If you are not going to use Vanguard for anything I think going to that Human colony would be a start. There they meet this guy and take him in. Call it one of my last things I am going to do before your endgame.. Less dangerous but trust me...*
*Danny is looking at the ticker feed and notices a human colony has gone dark...*
Danny: Cap... you might want to see this.
Odst: sir I'm going to have to ask you both come with us.
Jacob: what for.
Odst: please sir. Just follow us.
Voice: please have a seat ou both must be tired after what you where both been through.
Jacob and Sierra-1 both look at each other and sit down.
Admiral Telion: now im sure you both are wondering why you where called here. Let me cut right to it then. What you saw on the station is not to be told to anyone. What happened there is classified by numerous....
Jacob: excuse me then you better tell me what the hell was going on there that i wasnt told about. Because may i remind you that as a vice admiral and head of ONI section 3 research division i am to be told of ALL research going on here in at least UNSC space. Or have you forgotten that.
Telion: gentlemen please im only doing what im commanded to do.
Jacob gets up as Sierra-01 gets up to follow
Telion: where you going?
Jacob: to arrest the persons responsible for what happened on that station.
As they walk out
Jacob: Sierra-01 get your squad together we are going to have a little chat with del rio and metran since they are both together right now. Also inform the now Fleet admiral Cooper that he is in command and have him and General Black protected.
Sierra-01: Yes sir
A few min later Jacob with a squad of gryphon super soldiers walks into Del Rios office as Del Rio and Metran are talking they both look up shocked.
Jacob: easy way or hard way gentlemen
Metran stands up reaching for his saber
Jacob: hard it is
Instantly his armor activates as he fires a repulsor at metran sending him through the wall.
Jacob: you all make sure he doesnt leave.
He then leaps out the whole he made in the wall as there battle begins. Troops start moving around them watching the two as they battle.Metran has the strength while Jacob can move faster. Jacob fires a repulsor at metran again sending him flying but metran regains himself mid air and lands.Grabbing Jacob and throwing him into a nearby wall as he starts to get up metran slams him again into the wall before landing his fist into his chest cracking his suit before jacob can move metran takes him and slams his head into the metal ground. Causing jacobs hud to go staticy. Before metran go do anything else an explosion sends him flying as Sierra-01 fires a rocket launcher at him. While metran is still getting up Sierra-01 grabs jacob lifting him up as he gets ready to fire another rocket.
Sierra-01: sir are you alright
Jacob takes off his helmet as blood starts coming out a large gash on his face
Jacob: ive been better.Lets finish this shall we.
As they turn around metran pierces Sierra-01 through the chest with his saber while sending an energy blast at jacob that send hims flying. Metran lets Siera-01 fall to the ground as he walks over to Jacob.
Metran: now i get to finish you and deal with any other officer who stands against me or my master.
he goes to cut jacob but jacobs rolls firing his repulsor as he does so. He lands a hit but it doesnt phase him.
Metran: you shoul have brought your whole team alone you cant stop me.
Metran swings again this time cutting a large gash into his chest cutting right through his armor. Jacob falls to the ground as he lets out a scream. Metran then picks him up throwing him into a wall again breaking ribs in the process. He pick him up again holding his saber ready to strike.
Metran: and now you know buts its to late to stop me.
Jacob smiles weakly: oh i dont think so
He opens his hand showing he is holding a protoype grenade he detonates it as it send him flying and metran vanishes. Medics arrive rushing him into the hospital.
Fleet Admiral Cooper soon arrives flanked by Sierra-04,02
Cooper: status?
Doctor: Its a miracle he is still breathing and alive. He broke 4 ribs has massive internal bleeding.severe damage to his throat and vocal cord area. broke his arm in 3 places has serious brain tissue damage and collapsed one of his lungs not to mention what happened to his eyes b using that grenade that close.
Cooper: but he will live?
Doctor: at this point we can only wait and see. I really dont know.
Cooper: and Sierra-01
Doctor: im sorry but he was dead by the time medics arrived.
Cooper walks out
Cooper: serina get me the gc and tell them we are handing over Del Rio for any crimes he was accused of against the rebels. Also try to get me the rebel leaders. Inform the C.I.S council of the changes in command and inform the GC that Metran was killed.
Serina: aye sir.
Cooper: im doing playing games with these people any more.
OOC: yeah i know it was long but metran isnt really dead hes somewhere else right now.
OOC: I can think of some really good justice and irony right now.. *Devil horns and grinch smile*
OOC: go right on ahead as long as it doesnt leave me in to big a bind lol
Cooper: do i even begin to ask.
Del Rio: no for your conscience sake dont.
Cooper: well we will wait and see what the GC has to say about what happened and then we will be going from there.
He walks away and heads back to the hospital waiting. Sierra-05 is there when he arrives.
Cooper: ayn word yet soldier.
Sierra-05 : no sir hes still in critical and there working on him now.
Cooper: well i hope to the powers that be he survives. Besides anything else i need him
T'mar: Thank you.
*T'mar takes the PADD and walks out.*

Sanders: Oh boy.
*5 minutes later, the whole Vanguard is there, with Blake out of his armour and Sanders leaning on the wall. Forest walks in.*
Forest: Sorry. The Citadel delayed my transport request. Apparently some dignitary was beaming down at the same time and my status as a member of Vanguard means nothing because I'm a freak!
Sanders: Mike, relax. We're moving into orbit onto the new Space Station tomorrow. Don't worry about the Citadel.
Okay, Danny, give us the full brief.

Cooper: well
Doctor: he's a live and stable for now. But he suffered major injuries. Some may never fully recover on there own.
Danny: Alright, the Human colony Helios has gone dark. This is the third one in a month. There is no reported shadow activity in the area.. Holtz and company are sending something that can help us out in this mission and it should be here soon. I don't know what it is the man was a bit cryptic...
Aside from that we have the full team here including team two... What we do know is to expect anything at the colony. If there are hostiles lethal force is authorized. We are to save the colonists if that is possible...
Grey Fox: *his helm open* What are they sending?
Pyro: Who knows. People do call us a walking freak show.
Danny: Can that talk. We keep their nightmares from coming true. We are heading out at about 0700.
*The conduit opens up and Sinclaire and the Preserver come through which startles the rest of them..*
