Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Dude, that is so dick." Little Sin said.
"I know, right? How could somebody disrespect me like that?"
"No, I meant carving your name........... nevermind. You're a dumbass."
"Whatever dude. You're just jealous that you don't have a suave ass ship like this."
"Or am I?" Little Sin quickly drew his UNSC magnum from its magnetic holster and fired a shot at Admiral Kerzon's face, only to be deflected be two spherical energy shields that the Admiral's Honour Guards deployed instantly.
"Step any closer and I will end your life, Little Sin." Enolc 'Relikee said. Than Eyha 'Ohsolee spoke up. "Wouldn't want to stick you in the rape corner now, would we?"
"Calm your balls. I knew you guys would save him. That's why I shot him in the first place. Just keepin' your skills sharp." Little Sin said smugly. He looked around to notice that every Sangheili on the bridge was now viciously staring at him, Supreme Commander Tivos especially.
Little Sin did a combat roll and began firing his duel wield magnums at Kerzon's crew. By the the time he was finished everybody was dead accept for Kerzon, Tivos, Enolc, and Ehya. Although there was a bullet next to Tivos's head that had just missed. "Fuck. I'll get him next time." Little Sin said to himself.
"Your a dick." Kerzon said flatly.
"Woo!" Little Sin cheered.
"Ascetic Enolc 'Relikee, man the Nav station. Honour Guard Eyha 'Ohsolee, man the Communications station. Little Sin, man the tactical station. And Supreme Commander Tivos, man the engineering station. Thanks for killing my bridge crew you fag."
"Admiral, we're approaching Sangheilios." Tivos said from his command post.
"Take us out of slipspace, engage Reputer Whatever-The-Fucks."
"Disengaging slipstream drive, engaging Repulsor engines, aye Admiral." The Ascetic said. I small jolt could be felt as the ship exited slipspace and slowly approached Sangheilios.
"I'm confident in my men that they can handle their posts, but do you know how to operate a tactical station, Little Sin?"
"Fuck yeah I do. Firin' myself some guns."
"Alright, cool. Now lets get this show on the road. Little Sin, power up the guns."
"Shut up, I know what I'm doing." He activated the ships weapons systems.
"Enolc, bring us into a low pass of the surface."
"Yes, Admiral."
A beeping sound could be heard from Eyha's communications console. "There is a BTF Destroyer approaching us. They are opening a comm channel."
"A starship from the fleet? This far from the rally point?" Tivos asked.
"Answer them I guess." Admiral Kerzon was growing impatient.
"Sorry Kerzon, but I can't let you do what you're doing." A familiar voice came from the communications channel. It was a Sangheili they all knew. His name was Tody. He was a BTF Imperial Zealot with gold zealot armour.
"Tody?" The Admiral paused. "Why the fuck not? You're the leader of my zealots. I am ordering you to stand down, bitch."
"I'm working with the the Kaidon of the State of Katar. He has some zealous warriors that he would be willing to give to our fleet in exchange for some resources. I don't know exactly what you are up to, but you are approaching a low pass of Katar territory and you have your weapons systems charged. I am doing this for the good of the Blades of Transcendence Fleet. If you don't stop I will have to take action."
"What kind of action? You wouldn't kill me." Kerzon said.
"No, but I could disable your ship." Tody said.
"Your driving a fucking destroyer. You could do some damage, but I'm in a COS class Supercarrier. I highly doubt that you can do shit."
"I assure you that I-"
"Tell me Tody, how many people are on your destroyer?" The Admiral interrupted.
"Just me. I'm operating this ship on my own."
"Well. In that case-" The Admiral looked over to Eyha and gestured him to close the comm channel.
"Wha-" Tody was cut off by the closing of the channel.
The Admiral spoke up again. "Little Sin, my ship has an emergency matter-energy transportation device integrated into it. It should be accessable threw your tactical terminal. Transport Tody onto the bridge."
"Okay. Beep boop bop beep boop." Little Sin began to push a series of buttons which caused a flash of light to occur behind Kerzon's command chair. After the light diminished, there stood another high ranking Sangheili. It was Tody.
"What-"
Little Sin looked at Kerzon 'Xytranai with begging eyes. Knowing what he was thinking, Kerzon gave another order.
"Little Sin, target the destroyer and power up that one thing we were talking about earlier." Kerzon looked back at Tody with a maniacal smile threw his mandibles. "What was it called? Oh yes. The Bass Cannon. Power up the Bass Cannon."
"Yes!" Little Sin said gleefully.
He pressed a series of buttons and the bridge started to rattle. Mechanical clings and clangs could be heard along with electronic hums from outside of the room's bulkheads. The noises persisted for about 30 seconds as the massive Bass Cannon constructed itself and positioned itself outside of the ships' main hull. The sounds stopped and all that remained was an ambient hum.
"Ready." Little Sin said excitedly.
The Admiral stood up from his command chair and paused.
"Fire!" He yelled.
Little Sin slammed down on a read button and the unexpected happened. A supercharged beam of hypersonic dubstep bass exploded out of the cannon with unimaginable power as it atomized any trace of the destroyer Tody rode in on.
"My ship! What did you do to my ship!?" Tody yelled.
Admiral Kerzon simply walked up to the human and looked him in the eyes.
"You just got Kerz-owned." He said quietly. He turned to face everybody else. "Alright, lets get this show on the road."
Suddenly Tody charged towards Kerzon and attempted to tackle him to the ground. Kerzon took notice of Tody's charge and flew up to the ceiling using his jet pack. He gripped his sword and drew it. Plasma shot out of the grip frantically and materialized into a superheated blade. Enolc and Eyha were ready to intervene but knew that Kerzon would not appreciate that.
"I wouldn't." Kerzon said confidently. Tody grabbed a dirty conduit rag he found in his tactical soft case and jumped up for Kerzon's perch near the ceiling. Kerzon swung his sword at Tody but missed. Tody planted the rag on Kerzon's head in an attempt to smother his flame head. Normally his flame would have incinerated the material on contact, but the rag was soaked in all kinds of residue from Tody's destroyer's drive core conduits.
Kerzon yelled and pulled the rag off to notice that his flame was gone. He disengaged his jet pack and fell to the floor, his sword falling with him.
"Kerzon!" Little Sin yelled. He ran over to King Tody. "Quick, knock me out." He said.
"Why?"
"Just knock me out. Seriously, just punch me in the face, right now."
"Um.... okay."
King Tody punched Little Sin in the face and knocked him to the floor. A cloud of confetti exploded out of Little Sin's armour as a distinctly adolescent "Yay" could be heard. And suddenly something odd happened. A deep voice came from the communictions speakers on the bridge.
"DOUBLE KILL!" It said. Kerzon's eyes snapped open, but his eyes were blue and they were glowing brightly. His flame suddenly ignited again. Accept this time, it was blue and bright.
He engaged his jetpack and lifted off the ground as the sword he wielded lifted off the floor and shot into his hand, where he drew it for a second time.
"Nobody gets a multi-kill on KERZON!" He screamed with a bellowing and distorted voice.
Little Sin, awoken but dazed, reacted fast and ran up to Kerzon who was raging in blue flames. Kerzon started slowly flying towards Tody until Little Sin held him back. "Kerzon, pull yourself together, you idiot. If you start raging over this shit than we're not gonna win. Calm your balls or else I'm gonna have to call a No Die Mode."
Suddenly, flashes of memory regarding Kerzon's and Little Sin's past began shooting threw Kerzon's mind, distracting him from his goal of killing King Tody. Deep memories of their past friendship.
They were together on a team, Kerzon and Little Sin. Fighting a common enemy. But their enemy kept evading them, taking them both down. Kerzon became enraged by the multiple set-backs they were encountering. Little Sin spoke those exact words he had just said to Kerzon on the Promethean Equilibrium, it suppressed his rage and they pulled themselves together and took down their enemy.
Suddenly Kerzon lowered himself to the floor. His eyes returned to normal and his flame turned back to a bright glowing yellow-orange.
"What the-" Tody started.
"Honestly dude, Kerzon's flame is not something to be fucked with. I've learned this on several occasions. Don't try to understand it, just accept that his flame is fucked up in so many ways and there is really nothing you can do about it."
"What the fuck?" Kerzon started. "Wait, did you put out my flame?"
"No, he didn't." Little Sin started.
"Actually-" Tody started but Little Sin turned and gave him a glare as he reached to grab his shotgun.
"Whatever. Let's burn my name into this shit so I can hit a bar." He said. He turned and saw that everybody in the room was staring at him. "What the fuck is going on here? Chop chop."
