Part 7

Mcconto and Tumael sat there, on this bench in the park, a little hidden in shadow, as Tumael had the Book Of The Lost Phrophecy in his hands. "Open it, friend, as this is your future. YOU are the One..." Tumael said.
Mcconto ripped up the rusty and creaky lock and opened the book. It was a magically event, as he opened the book and light came out, and the words were shining red, and a voice started to speak loud.

"The One who openes this Phrophecy will be the One who will lead his people in desperate times. When other races attack, when the hope is gone, in the darkest hour of its empire, He rises and will unite every of his kind and will bring peace to both races. He will be born as a weapon of war, on a uncertain day by uncertain parents in a uncertain race and planet. Led by friends of both races, he will overcome the dark and will protect those who were forced in war and were not made for battle, from all kinds. YOU are the chosen, YOU are the one, and YOU will protect your people, as we will watch over you. You will received the holy power of a forgotten art to protect those who fight for the good. Of both races. DO NOT FAIL, as you are their only hope." And the voice disappeared, and the blank book was slowly filling with words. Red, shiny words were appearing on paper, as Mcconto looked at them. He turned to Tumael and closed the book. He looked to Tumael with great confidence in his self, as he believed himself. "How... can we unite them? Never, could one person unite a full race, and be friend with the other race's people who chose the good...?" He said. "MCconto... I will help you find an answer on it. I will explain when we are inside. I will explain everything about why I am here, why I give this to you, and how we can unite. But beware, that myself, it will be hard, but I wont let you down." Tumael said.


The covenant Hunter named Rakshasa was in a Covenant Destroyer called Balahm what moved to Earth. He woke up in a cryo tube. Covenant engineers loaded up his health and shield HUD and he climbed out of the tube.

"Sir Rakshasa" a engineer said."we found a Phrophecy, and that is why we created you. You are the strongest Covenant ever. You are lighter but still much stronger. Your manouvrability is great. Please...follow me... we will do the tests...
Rakshasa followed the engineer. They did visor tests, movements test, fighting tests.

"Tests are complete. You are created to kill the Spartan who has just been designated as 'MCconto'. We know you can do it... we are close to their planet called 'Sol II'. Report to bridge. In 3 human hours we will arive there." The engineer Elite finished. He stepped aside, and let the Hunter pass through. The door opened and 5 elites were standing clear to guard Raksasa to the bridge. They all feared him greatly, as they saw how enoughmous strong he was, but still very manouvrable. He was like a walking 2 barreled tank, but looked a lot like others. Grunts were sleeping in their sleep cabbins. These were very small but the grunts didnt need much room. They passed by and walked to the mess hall, where grunts and jackals ate their food.
Some even read their intergalactic papers, but only the ones who could read. Normally, allmost no one read it, but something was important written in it, so they all read now. "What is going on?" Rakshasa asked. At that moment, a grunt gave the paper immediately to Rakshasa and said: "Please, take my paper. I allready read It. please, take it, Sir." The grunt said. "thank you... what is your name, small one?"Rakshasa asked, while gently taking the paper out the grunts hand. "My name is... Rook!" The grunt said. "Ah... thank you for giving me this paper, Rook." Then he turned to a elite and said: "watch him. Guard him. Protect him. Give him what he wants. He served me as the first one." The Elite turned to the Grunt and said: "Grunt, what do you like to have?" while Rakshasa walked further with 4 elites guarding him. He couldn't hear the grunt's answer but he turned back to his primary goal. They entered the Bridge, where the phrophet leader from back in the battle in space when moving to Sol III began to talk with his sinister, mysterious voice. He was pleased. "welcome, Rakshasa. You might heard something from the engineers. To confirm this: yes, you are the chosen, you are the strongest. Born on a uncertain day by uncertain parent, you were taken away on a uncertain day to make you stronger. It costs us 6 months but finally, you are here. Our own secret weapon against these filthy humans. You will unite us and we will bring peace to both races: As we will take 1 man and 1 women, and imprison them, to make peace... but not in freedom... yes, we will crush the spartans and every thing they have... we had a recent succes at Sol III and now we will be sure to win at Sol II... victory is near, as it will be about 3 human days before we are there. Its a shame Tumael couldnt join us... take some time, Rakshasa. The Ministry have got plans... I guess it will take longer if you want to overcharge your shield to 400%... go to Weapon bay and get your enhanced weapons. Try to train with them. Meet your squad. Prepare for battle. It will be harsh. You are dismissed." The phrophet said.

Rashasa turned around and left. The 4 Elites covering him.

At Sol II, the armory's were empty, as all HAARL's, LAAG's and HAAG's were put up at strategic points. People sneaked it, stole a few guns, and left back to their house. Some left the planet, as they did not want to see battle. The humans were quite disorganised. The Marines stood clear and were ready. 2 days to go, in peace, without fighting, and still, MCconto did not receive rest. The cruisers who chased them before were returning and were loading up,. As 2 cruisers were not enough to conquer a planet. Although the covenant did send fighters to attack ships in the area around Sol II, they never entered the planet. Longsword bombers flew over all the time, full squadrons preparing for combat, and state alert was gone to Red Alert status, of preparing. That night, still nothing changed. People kept running overthe street, people kept being disorganised, as Mcconto and Tumael watched this. "This is gonna be very tough!" Mconto said. Tumael nodded, as they watched it. "get some rest. We will have lots of fighting in 2 days. Get some rest. You'll need it." Tumael said.

Next Day, the situation was more harsher. People run every side as they understand this was their last day of their life, or, this was what they thought. Even the President couldnt bring peace. No one listened. And with all these people rampaging and scared, Mcconto meets Frederick Sniper.(Name is not sure... this is a temporaly name...).

"Who are you?" MCconto said, but when he inspected him, he had some kind of electric shock, that he could see something special about Frederick. Frederick sniper react. "My name is Frederick sniper. And you are Mcconto. I saw you via the GV in the bar ere, 40 feet away from here. There. Finally I meet you. I searched you. I will help you." Frederick said.

Tumael was right away checking the Phrophecy abou this meeting, but MCconto put his hands on the book and whispered: "don't...". Mcconto kept looking to him, inspecting to see more familiar facts. He did not had to wait for long. On the right arm, a special sign was put, just like MCconto. He flinched a little, stepping backwards, a little frightened, that he was so familiar. "fear not, for I am watchfull, MCconto. I am no enemy. I am a friend and I will try to guard you." He said. "Time is precious, so you need every help you can get... lets get a move on." He ended.
