Not even seconds after the girl burst through the doors to the bridge, they opened once more. Through it came a small contingent of bird-like creatures. Though they mostly lacked feathers and wings, instead resembling the form of a raptor with occasional feathering. On their right forearms, the creatures bore a small metallic disk that sparked and shimmered as a shield of plasma sprung up. The small arcs of energy that raced towards the group bounced harmlessly off their shields. The attack being answered in kind as the raptors fired their own weapons. A hail of pink, needle-needle-like projectiles raced gracefully across the bridge before piercing three unfortunate crew members. None were critical wounds, but before help could arrive the pink needles exploded and sent shards through their target's body. Killing all three victims instantly. A shocked silence fell across the bridge as the creatures sprouted off words that sounded more like bird squaks than anything else. It became quite clear that they were holding the bridge hostage as their weapons trained on various personal. The creatures all made room as what seemed to be a commander of theirs entered the bridge. One of the same behemoths that had pinned Arcadia earlier, only this one bore elaborate red armor. It's headpiece seemed to be angular as opposed to the usual round headgear his species seemed to wear, the armor bulkier and more ornate. The creature himself also seemed bigger. Barking something in an odd language of grunts, growls, and other guttural sounds, the being advanced onto the ship and pointed towards the man sitting in the captain's chair. Raising his weapon as if to fire and take the man's life.

Only for the bridge doors to explode open as a familiar, heavily armored figure slammed clear through the metal. Small blue jets firing all along his armor as the raptor creatures squaked in evident panic and tried to back away. Only to be halted as massive reports could be heard, and their heads seemed to explode from evident impact. Behind the heavily armored figure, two other, normal sized, figures made their way into the bridge and made short work of the raptor creatures. The large creature that had being staring at the captain seconds ago spun on the new group. Roaring in rage as he lifted his leg faster than most could move and kicked the armored man in the chest. A loud pop followed by sparks flying from his armor gave obvious signs some kind of energy shield had failed on the man as he rocketed backwards. Once more, the jets on his armor fired as he slowed himself to a halt on the bridge. Balling his hands in evident preparation for a fight, the man would look briefly to his allies. "Johnson, cover the lift. No more surprises. Mendez, get these people out of the way. I've got Va'damm." he ordered, purposefully projecting his voice out the speakers so the crew of the enterprise could hear.

Without any form of ceremony or indication the brawl was to start, the man leaped forward in two bounds. Pistons and other machinery could be heard firing briefly as his armor compensated his mind's wishes and accelerated his arm. A vicious uppercut that moved as a blur struck towards the hostile alien, only to be deflected by an armored forearm. In their lock, the two combatants glared fiercely at each other. Black, soulless eyes filled with rage and genocide glaring at a cold visor of a ruthless killing machine. Then the lock broke, the armored man slamming a knee into the alien's groin and being rewarded with a grunt of pain from his opponent. Immediately followed by a twin punch to the being's abdomen with thunderous claps at each impact.

However, the alien was not phased by the second attack. Instead a massive red blur could be seen before the armored man's wrists were grabbed by the alien. Several blurs as the alien unleashed a fury of vicious kicks and knees to its opponent, answered by tremors in the man's body and loud grunts of pain. Jumping upwards with his powerful legs, the alien flipped over his opponent and kept a grip on his wrists. Both arms now completely behind him, the armored man felt a leg brace against his back before a thickly accented voice spoke in choppy english to him. "You. Weak. Demon. Now you shall perish with your fellow heretics. For the great journey!" the alien roared with vicious laughter as its muscles tensed.

Then the ship shook violently, throwing the occupants around as a roar louder than any had ever heard ripped through the ship. Immediately followed by the sound of space tearing and warning klaxxons blaring through the bridge. On the viewscreen, the ship seemed to stretch infinitely before snapping back together. The ring from before now much more massive and taking up the whole view screen. The battle now behind them, and a screaming sound as the upper reaches of an atmosphere tore at the ship. One thing became evident, the enterprise had suddenly warped violently towards the ring. It's power failing, the crippled ship was now stuck in the gravity well and falling rapidly towards the surface.

The being that had been holding the armored man's arms had disappeared suddenly. Leaving the two other armored men lying dead on the floor. Their armor and insides burning and split as if a sheer blade of energy had cut them open. Meanwhile the armored man stood up shakily and moved across the bridge with thunderous footsteps. Walking straight up to the captain as his visor pointed out who was in charge. All thanks to Infinity's previous contact. Reaching down and hauling the man to his feet, the Spartan looked hard at him. "Captain. Order an abandon ship now. You can't escape Halo's gravity well, and the covenant will be sending ships after us shortly, and they will treat your escaping crew, should you wait, the same way they treated my friends over there. Move it, and get the escape pods ready to go." he ordered, paying no heed to the fact that this was the captain's ship, and that he still had command here.

I'll get a post up soonish. Sorry for the delay guys, just getting ready to go back to college.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

@Mr Rage@AmmokkxMan, you two should've seen the first rp I joined on this site. That was reallllllll bad on my part.

Let's just leave it at the fact that it was a Naruto rp and the character I first made was a blatant Sasuke Rip-Off. Looking at that, and how that very character has developed to be somebody pretty awesome now is incredible.

(He is now a she via long and tragic back story shit. Which may or may not be laying a foundation for me to go on a murder spree.)

Last Officium (Jasonhero and XxLyraxX)

Introduction

Floating in the endless void of space, a massive ring sat against a backdrop of mixed hues of warm color. Warm reds mixed with deep oranges as violent storms clashed in the atmosphere of the gas giant. For all its power and majesty, Behemoth held not even a candle to the moon-sized object in its orbit. For while Behemoth would swallow and crush anything that strayed into its path, the object before it would reach out its tendrils to annihilate all life within its reach. However, like the monster behind it; the ring did not look much like a weapon of war. Elegant designs carved into the metal making the exterior of the ring seemed to make an outline of some ancient language. The perfection of the circle that made the ring, smoothness of metal, and lack of marring despite millions of years in space spoke of the craftsmanship in the structure. The advancement of the beings who built it. On its interior surface, biomes and weather patterns could be seen. Making this a true world, one where a being could live.

The majesty and terrible power of the Halo stood in stark contrast of each other as it floated through the void. A reaper waiting to take the lives of all those in its radius.

Were one to be standing on the ring, turning their gaze to the sky; they would see fire raining down as if Gods waged war in myths of old. However, these Gods waged war not for personal gains or ideals; but for survival. One side of the conflict is the remnants of an alien coalition known as 'The Covenant'. This force, waging war against the humans they believed to be heretics to their religion. Their way of life. As these two massive forces fought tooth and nail for ownership of the ring world, they knew not that they were about to meet a new entity who would change their fates. Be it for the better or worse, neither party would know.

THE ENTERPRISE

"Mr. Sulu, take us out of warp. Let's see what we've got ourselves into." Came a voice from behind the captain's chair on the pristine white bridge of the USS Enterprise. After offering a reply of acknowledgement, an asain man reached forward to grasp a handle off to his front left. Pulling the handle along a slider slowly towards him, all on board would hear a low hum as the ship decelerated from maximum Warp. As the reality around them suddenly seemed to compress to form actual shapes and recognizable shapes compared to the usual stretched blue lines of a warp bubble, the bridge crew moved forward to get a glimpse of the new galaxy. Only to be surprised as what they expected to be empty space was filled with a mass of ships. Some blocky and gunmetal gray while others seemed to be oblong and purple. Shaped vaguely like massive whales moving slowly through the void.

The fleet of the blocky-gray ships had the large letters 'UNSC' painted on the side, and numbered only into the hundreds. One could see a slew of small dots, notifying boarding craft and fighters flying in formation around larger frigates, destroyers, and battleships. Each ship roughly equivalent to the Enterprise in size. In the center of the the fleet sat the largest ship by far. Just over 5 Kilometers in length, the words 'UNSC INFINITY' could be seen clearly on the side. Near the end of the ship, just forward of the massive engines one could see large designs made in shimmering energy; similar to those on the massive Ring-world in the distance.

On the other side, the fleet of whale-shaped ships moved slowly towards their enemy. This fleet outnumbered the UNSC fleet by far. It also happened to be the closet fleet the the Enterprise. A few ships slowed to a stop in space and seemed to slowly turn towards the new presence. Whenever hailing was attempted by the Enterprise, the other ships simply responded by letting vicious arcs of burning plasma race across the distance between them. The bright lights of each plasma torpedo tore through the space before slamming into the Enterprise's shields. The shields fell sharply from the rapid impacts, holding steady at around 34%.

Immediately, another hail hit the Enterprise and was answered quickly. On screen, a man who was clearly human sprung up on screen. The man seemed no older than 35, wearing a sharp military uniform appeared on screen. Looking a little bit shocked as he scanned the bridge before him and saw mostly humans. He waited for a long few moments before speaking. "Unknown vessel, you have wandered into an active combat zone. This Captain Thomas Lasky of the UNSC Infinity. Covenant vessels have engaged and launched boarding vessels. Move towards our fleet if you wish to live, details can be discussed after we take care of the enemy." the man said simply. Seconds later multiple impacts could be heard throughout the ship as boarding vessels pierced the hull and covenant forces came out shooting. Forced with no other option, the the captain of the Enterprise agreed and began to move towards the fleet hailing them. Consequently also moving towards the ring world.

Further below, amid the screams of terrified crew members as alien forces swarmed the ship and began mowing down anything that moved. Stalking through the ship like hunters moving on their prey. Each shot of their plasma weaponry brining with it the scent of burnt flesh and death. However, amid the chaos of the attack and some of the Enterprise valiantly fighting for their ship; another hunter prowled the ship. This one brought with it the scent of gunsmoke, spent brass, and dying alien bodies. This hunter was actually three individuals, two humans in full body armor and a black helmet with reflective visors. The letters 'ODST' could be read across their chest plates as they moved through the ship alongside one other. This one towered 6' 5 and wore a solid suit of powered armor. The heavy footfalls could be heard with the same weight as the eight foot tall aliens moving through the halls.

His slit of a visor completely reflective, and the mechanical sound of the powered armor gave no indication of whether this was man or machine. Couple that with the total silence and brutal efficiency with which this hunter moved through the ship, those that met him would often mistake him for a robot.

The Spartan

Coming up on a group of elites, surrounding what seemed to be a small girl; the Spartan couldn't exactly get a good look past the group of six sangehili surrounding her. The Spartan raised an armored gauntlet. Signalling the two ODSTs alongside him to stop. Making a flurry of hand movements, the Spartan communicated his wishes to the two next to him. Moving quietly ahead, the Spartan drew his blade and activated the energy covering. Without any word or ceremony, he lunged forward and shoved the sword clean through the enemies' back. The point sticking out of the alien's chest in front of the girl. The weapon seemed to stick there for a second before all hell broke loose.

Yanking the sword straight sideways, the spartan cut the Elite's torso off. Watching it slide away and hit the floor. At the same moment, two loud gunshots echoed through the cramped hall as powerful rifles were fired. Before one could blink, two elite's heads exploded in a spray of bone and blood. Decimated by the anti-matter rifle each ODST held. The Spartan sheated his sword and pulled a simple rifle from his back. In the next second he fired the thrusters on his armor, surging forward and slamming the nearest elite into the wall. Of course, this led to a dent in the pristine wall. Immediately, the boy shoved the muzzle of the rifle between the split mandibles and pulled the trigger. Blowing it's brains out in an immediate killing blow. Within half a second later, the last two elites died from the ODSTs. Ending the encounter in a mere few seconds.

The boy turned towards the girl, staring for a few seconds before tilting his head to the side. Almost questioning why the girl had... twin tails and ears like a fox. "You hurt?" Came a blunt response from the boy, his voice deep and robotic sounding from the speaker in his helmet.

Floors below, a lone grunt made its way into the warp core past all the dead bodies. Strapped to its chest was a large plasma charge, ready to detonate its target at will. Aiming to destroy the new heretics who had appeared.

As Xane sat in the pilots seat of Jetto Chosa he would write a few things down on a pen and paper. While doing so he would press a few buttons from one area, and then would move to press a few more buttons in another. Some of the buttons would pop up lists on the main screen, but some would not.

"Voltage, check." Writing the results on the notepad Xane would continue on. "Temperature, check." Again he would write the results on a notepad, and then look back up to the screen. "Pressure," Looking back down to his notepad he would see if the numbers were either the same, or similar. "Check." Looking to the left of him at a button that seemed to not be off Xane reached over to turn it off. "RPM's are normal." In a way he was talking to himself, but in another he was talking to Celeste who was on the other side of the comm. "So far so good here Cel," Xane would scribble down a few more things. "Just wanted to make sure everything was fine in case something were to happen."

Celeste hummed softly to herself, a tune that sound both hopeful and a little sad at the same time. Her mother used to sing it to her and the twins when they had nightmares or couldn't sleep. Celeste finds it comforting and generally hums it to calm herself and relax. She sat up a little straighter in her seat, glancing down at the notepad resting on her lap. Looks like all systems were functioning correctly and ready to go in case things went south. She slid the clipboard back into a satchel attached the the side of the cockpit of Wächter and glanced to the side. Pinned to the wall next to her were two pictures. One was a family photo, her parents smiling from behind all of their children. The twins had been only toddlers when the picture was taken and Orion was holding Mary and Celeste was holding little William. The picture below that had been taken after their parents death. The twins were making silly faces and Orion had his arms resting around both of them.

What a happy life they had had. And now here she was, fighting for the revenge of their parents. She had left so abruptly, what could Orion be thinking? She hasn't had contact with them since she had left for training. As she sat there reminiscing, Xane's voice sounded out through the comms. She smiled and pressed a button to answer him. "Same here. It's better to be safe than sorry. How are you holding up Xaney?" The girl asked.

"Cute. You two have pet names for each other! I'll be sure to remember that, Xaney." Jason teased over the intercoms as Ribasu took a few steps forward and seemed to look around for a second. "Move to city outskirts. I'd rather keep the Cruxi out of city proper as much as possible. Alright?" the boy said before moving forward once more, until he stood along the outskirts of the city. Upon his arrival, the boy let out a small sigh and sat back in his seat. Wondering what exactly it would be like to fight against the Cruxi for real. Would he be able to handle it and not let his squad down? Or would they all fall prey to incompetence on his end.

"I won't fail them, they're all I've got left in this world." he muttered softly, not realizing he left the comms open. So his squadmates would certainly be hearing what he had said loud and clear.

Listening in on what Jason had said Xane would close the notebook, and would slide it behind his seat. Before he was to respond to Jason Xane set Jetto Chosa's course for the outskirts of the city. The simulations they had done back on their training base was similar to the environment they had now, but actually being on the field of possible battle was different. Xane wanted to make sure that there was no chance for anything unexpected to cross their paths, so he would press 2 buttons to the right of him that would display 2 of Jetto Chosa's on-hand cameras. One was a thermal camera, and another was a black and white camera along with the usual front faced camera with the set course displayed to the side of it.

"Of course we do Jasey, wouldn't be a squad without pet names now would we." Xane pressed the comm button twice to keep it on as he would need his hands for the steering of Jetto Chosa. "Don't forget that you have one as well. Now focus, or else you will fail not only them but us as well." Xane said the last part with a sincere tone. "I'm holding up nice Cel." Xane smiled as if Celeste could see him. "Everything is ready, and steady to go. Though, are you doing alright? Is Ribasu closer than he needs to be to Wächter?" The last comment could have been seen as a joke, but Xane knew that Jason had a knack for being Jason. And therefore he was dead serious about questioning the wherabouts of Jason's mec.

Barry leaned back and smiled, listening to the others talk. "Pet names? Why not, I guess. What was it, Cel, Xaney, and Jasey?" He chuckled slightly, "Why not stick to the theme of the ending ee sound and have Celeste's be Celly or something?" He tilted his head slightly, looking up as he tried to think about the possibility. "Oh, of course, we should get ready." He smiled more widely now as he began tapping away at buttons.

Barry began moving his frame towards the outskirts, like Jasey had said, only to accidentally tap an incorrect button "Shutdown process, initiated" "Oh, no no no!" He quickly tapped again, cancelling the shutdown. He breathed out a sigh of relief, hoping he wouldn't be making any mistakes like that again. He started smiling again, "Uhh, sorry, Marshall wanted a nap." He said, double-checking that his comms were still up after the mistake a second before. "Hey Jasey, any chance you can charge that thing up before-hand, maybe store a bit of charge as a starting point to work with? It might be that little edge we need if everything starts going wrong or something." He continued his smile, knowing the others couldn't particularly see him, but smiling anyway for himself.

Great, now they were all creating nicknames for each other. Hmmm, well. Barry’s name already ended in an ‘ee’ sound so that pattern was out the window. Of course we want to be ready Bar-Bar.” Celeste said with a smile. It would be unfair to leave Barry out of the nicknaming party that had popped up now wouldn’t it? Jason’s voice cut through their banter however, ordering them to move towards the outskirts of town. She reached up and flipped a switch to keep the comms on as she settled back into her seat and pressed a few buttons. ”Aye aye, sir.” She said to Jason. If he could see her, she would have saluted him. She grabbed her controls and began making her way along with the others. Once she reached a good point, she settled back into her seat to wait for further orders. ”No, Xaney, Ribasu is perfectly fine where Jason has him. And you okay there Bar-Bar? Little too early for a nap, don’t you think?”

The boy allowed a small smile to grow on his features as he sat there silently before beginning to speak up once more. "Alright, Barry, before things get started out here... Your orders will be simple. Since both you and Jetto don't have long range systems, you two are buddied up. Whatever enemy Jetto is assigned to, you will assist in taking that down or whatever the need is. Sound good?"

Barry smirked. "Oh, no more ee sound? Alright then Cel." He sat back a bit, listening to people talking before hearing Jason give some orders. He nodded, sat straight, and gave a salute, despite not being visible "Got it, boss." He began moving Marshall towards Jetto, hoping to be prepared for the onslaught that could come any moment.

Flipping a few switches, Jason got ready to start charging up his railgun, taking a moment to speak to his squad. "Everybody gets one now? Though I don't think I'm rolling with Ja-" The boy said before being cut off by a violent screeching from the comm link as they were jammed. Not long after which the boy saw the Cruxi assualt beginning. Hitting a rapid chain of commands, Jason cut out the static before switching on the comms between Frames to bark out orders.

Repost from first Jason post

"Alright, hope you three got your warpaint on. We've got inbound, so we need to mop up quickly here. Troas is under heavy assault and they need our help. Jetto, transform and give me details on any weak point you see on hostiles. I'm also going to need you to draw some fire from one of the warmachines. Stay alive." The boy said as he watched the massive opponents charged towards Jetto Chosa. As he was talking, the boy had begun firing up the Railgun's charge sequence. Going for a quick charge, Jason settled for a shot that would pierce light armor, and dent medium armor. As he did so, the railgun would pop up over his massive frame's shoulder and target the tentacled beast that was charging his friend.

"Guardian, engage the Warmachine on your Three O'clock. Sniper range at first, try to see if we can get them without having to get in close. I've got the beast." The boy said as he checked on the charge of the railgun. It was a clear shot from where Ribasu was to the charging beast. Thanks to their current location on the outskirts of the city. Without further ado, the boy let his shot rip from the railgun. Like a bolt of lightning, a sudden streak of light appeared between the large gun and its target as the shot raced across the distance between faster than the blink of an eye. Accompanied by a thunderous roar and a small shockwave from where the projectile left the barrel. The attack seeming to be like a masterbolt thrown by some god or titan from above. After his shot fired, the boy flicked the switch to open his missile silos, ready in case the beast was still standing.

Celeste smiled slightly as her team swapped banter back and forth. She felt glad that her team got along so well. She didn't know what would happen if they argued back and forth constantly. They were even on the level of friendship to start giving each other nicknames. She didn't expect that when she left her family for training that she would gain a new one. But she has. These three boys have become her family and she was going to do everything in her power to protect them. She refused to lose anymore people she cares about. She was jolted from her thoughts however upon hearing an awful screeching sound over the comms. She resisted the urge to cover her ears from the grating sound and before she could ask her team what just happened, she heard Jason firing off orders to them. She straightened in her seat rather quickly upon hearing that there were enemies inbound.

”Roger." Celeste reached over with her left hand and flipped a few switches and pressed a button. The screen before her lit up, displaying her given target. She had briefly seen the beast charging Xane and as much as she wanted to help her friend, she knew Jason would be able to handle it. Now she needed to do her part in this battle. Gripping her controls, she swung her gun up and held it steady, locking onto the War Machine. She knew these shots needed to count and she needed to disable to alien quickly before it could do any damage. That being said, she aimed for the joint on the arm the held the plasma canon and fired off a round. She then swung her gun and aimed at the other War Machine with the intention of returning fire should it shoot at her allies.

Barry was listening to Jasey start to refute his new nickname that would be used until the end of time, only for the screeching to start. He kept up his smile, though fairly obviously forced temporarily as he turned off the screeching. "Oo, looks like the fun part is starting." His smile returned to its natural state, and he started utilizing the controls to the best of his ability. "Looks like that one wants to have a bit of fun." He made sure Marshall was approximately side-by-side with Jetto, only for the tentacled monstrosity that was charging them to suddenly get blasted. "Oh, good, he didn't look very fun to fight anyway." He began tapping away at controls to start moving towards the war machine that Jason had told Jetto to head towards. "On my way to see what I can do!" He prepared to dodge as well, in case any fire would come his way, by building a bit of pressure into the leg joints.

Xane's eyes shot wide at the screeching sound the comms had made. As they continued to make the sound he rapidly glanced at the few cameras that he had set up just in case something like this were to happen. The thermal camera displayed the enemies that were approaching them, and for a second or so Xane froze. Suddenly he remembered when the ship he was on had gotten hit, and while escaping in a pod he caught a glimpse of one. Even before the cruisor Xane's mind shifted to another memory that was a bit more hazy. However, he could still remember seeing one of these monsters. These things that...for some reason existed, and caused so much havoc. So much more chaos, and so much loss...

"Move..." he whispered to himself. While training he thought when finally being close to a cruxi that he would feel nothing more than wanting to get rid of it. Nothing more than to kill the very thing that brings meaning to what hell could be like. But, for some reason he could not move. For some reason he could not process Jason telling him to transform Jetto Chosa into the jet. He couldn't process anything. His hands were shaking, and his heart was racing. Gripping the steers harder Xane tried to get a grip, and make the necesary moves he needed, but somehow couldn't. The memories were beginning to be too much, and Jetto Chosa began to react to Xane by displaying the oxygen, and heart rate levels along with the blood pressure. Xane couldn't move even if he wanted to.

Abruptly, Jason's railgun went off and the thunderous roar snapped Xane back into reality. Blinking a few times Xane shook his head after, and tried to remember what was going on. "Ryoukai." He said with a shakey voice as he remembered that Jason said something about transforming Jetto Chosa. Taking a few deep breathes Xane addressed Barry. "Cover me." he said in a soft tone as he was rushing to get back into gear. It took no less than a few seconds to transform Jetto Chosa, but in battle - like in the simulations - even a few seconds mattered. Pressing a few buttons to turn off most of the cameras to let them tuck into their slot on Jetto Xane then flipped a few switches above him, "Ready to transform in 3...2...1." and then flipped the main switch. The last switch however he would need to hold as Jetto began transforming. "Transition complete in 8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1."

Quickly letting go of the main switch Xane pressed some buttons in front of him, and even moved some frames around on the screen in front of him as the camera's were about ready to do their job. "Alright, I'm sky high. Cover me Barry, and good luck down there everyone." Xane added as he took another deep breathe.

@Ammokkx I thought it was decided that Zim is best girl?

Also, @Ariamis, Lockon got a post in the collab last night. Which makes it finished as the other two already posted. I shall have it up in about 3 hours when I am off work!

I figured you'd appreciate a heads up.
