Coalition Operations IV: Monsters of the Past

[Rayleonarde]

The small creature recoiled, sailing backward like a blue cannonball, disappearing into the bushes. Jed backed away, rifle brandished.
“E-Easy! Th’ Bear fellas’re in them birds! Long-Eye’s seen ‘em!” He looked pleadingly at the group, before retreating farther into the bushes.

"Hold your fire!" Zuka shouted, "Those are allied forces!"

The pelicans landed and UNSC Marines charged out, with the unmistakable figure of Andrew "Frosty" Harrison in his Spartan-X Issue Mjolnir armor. "Who's the wiseguy who took potshots at us?!" he demanded.

Sheila stepped off of the pelican and growled "I dunno but whoever did needs their butt kicked 10ft into the air the pink creature said hands glowing a neon green.

"HEy that's one of ours!" Blaze said seeing the black creature going on a rampage, she could sense it's anger and unfortunatly had no choice her eyes began to glow again as she  shot fire from her hands at the black creature.(To be continued in edit later)

[Ara Av-Toa]

Ara shook his head and brought a hand to his forehead.
"Oh jeez," he sighed, "one misunderstanding and it's already ruined. That while we already were tense... Speak of unfortunate."

He turned to Zuka. "Commander, allow me to try and get this straight with those Bohrar creatures. I know we are on unstable foot with them, but we at least owe them an apology... And an explanation. Send one or two men along, but please, not the goo monster." He said this last bit softer as to not draw Beast's attention. He knew he was no match for its sheer physical strength, but he had some tricks up his sleeve.

[XIII]

Beast was pleased with the result, even though it didn't happen as he planned. He hoped that strangers have understood why the symbiote did so and won't do anything silly anymore. Truth told, the Klyntar wanted to play with them. Alas, the playfulness of such creatures is often considered as an attempt to kill. Regardless, Blaze's actions have their consequences: the black monster was able to avoid the flame attack. However, Darvo wasn't surprised by what has happened. The Turian has expected something like this. And before the ex-Hierarchy trooper could say anything, there was a whisper in his mind. It was calling his name somewhere far away. It wasn't the symbiote inside him for sure, yet the alien couldn't resist. Who and why - now it's a personal affair.

"How nice! But I won't blame you. I'm a monster as your kind might say. What if I say monsters don't always look as such? Think about it, UNSC.". The Beast said, then performed a massive leap in the air, disappearing in the jungle forests. If things don't go south, Darvo will meet the team again. But even in the worse case, Zuka and Andrew don't need to worry about him. By all documents, Pax is dead, so reporting the death of an already deceased person is silly. But the Turian and his parasitic buddy is a unique couple, and the former was sure, he hasn't seen the team for the latest time. At the same time, Darvo can't be confident if he encounters them as allies or as enemies. Time will show.

"Would someone mind explaining to me what the hell just happened?" Andrew growled. Zuka looked to the strange creatures.

"Later, Frosty," he said. He approached the creatures and kept his weapon lowered. "And for the record, those are UNSC Pelican Drop Ships. The Iron bear mercs use a very different, very outdated drop ship for ferrying troops and vehicles. No need to shoot at them."

[Alessia Starfurr]

Blaze's eye glow dimmed as she held her head "I don't know anymore..." She muttered.

"Whose the wise guy?!" Sheila the pink  Minotaur like creature asked, hands glowing a neon green aura.

[Ara Av-Toa]

Ara was still in shock. He was almost certain Beast couldn't have overheard him. And if it didn't, it meant it also had some kind of psychic powers. That might spell more trouble. As he thought, he realised he'd best exlain the situation to the captains of the drop ships.

Ara raised his voice, saying, "No need for panic, everyone! There has just been a big misunderstanding. We have encountered an unknown lifeform on this planet, and they mistook the Pelicans for Iron Bears' ships. They took a shot at you in self-defence, and things kind of went out of control from there. I hope to re-establish a relationship- with your permission, of course."

[Rayleonarde]

As the crew regrouped and planned, several muffled pops echoed from the trees, followed by shouting and the rapid staccato of automatic fire. Then, more muffled pops responded. A firefight has begun in the distance, obviously between the local creatures and the mercenaries.

[Romulan_Furry]

"Sounds like the Iron Bears have another outpost or camp site nearby," Zuka commented.

"Let's take it out of commission," Andrew commanded. "All forces, form up on me!" In modified M12 LRVs, the force would head for the sound of the gunfire.

At the Iron Bear battle site, the Iron Bears' combat armor provided enough protection against the local creatures' weapons - but not all of the mercenaries had such armor. Most of those present were newbs or grunts.

[Ara Av-Toa]

Ara realised he had little choice but to enter the fray. At the same time, however, he kept a strict moral code which prevented him from killing anything capable of higher reasoning.
But, there was nothing preventing him from incapacitating them. If he just caused a few crippling wounds to each merc, he'd subdue them easily enough. He definitely had the skill to do so. That said, he drew both his swords and jumped into the battle.

His gold and white armour suddenly turned to black and gunmetal. His blue accents lost colour too. Despite camouflaging himself, he did not hide his sword mastery. With great speed and accuracy he cut tendons left and right, crippling arms and legs wherever he went. The iron bears' armour proved to be a problem for his blades, so he left those with heavy armour for the rest of the troops. It was obvious he maximally used his training advantage.

[Alessia Starfurr]

Not one who really enjoyed driving, Blaze followed along in a passenger seat of one of the Warthogs, grumbling all the way....

[Rayleonarde]

The Mercs kept streams of hot lead sweeping across craggy, tooth-like boulders on the side of a small hill. Six of the blue creatures hunkered behind granite, snapping off quick, panicked shots. They were pinned, doomed without assistance.


As Ara first entered the fray, the mercs turned to engage, turning already red-hot barrels on the strange metal man with the flashing blades. The rock-bound blue creatures held their fire, for fear of hitting a supposed ally.

[Romulan_Furry]

Not long after, M12 Warthog LRVs burst into the area, firing on the Iron Bear mercs. UNSC Marines and ODSTs drilled those that didn't retreat. And on the gun of one of those vehicles was Andrew, dressed fully in his Spartan armor. He looked toward the locals. "You boys need a hand?" he asked. Zuka arrived almost immediately after Andrew's comment.

[Alessia Starfurr]

 Blaze of course wasn't too fond of riding in a warthog or vehicle for that matter so sat in the passenger seat, arms cross over her chest,

Elsewhere on the field the large Bull like Shiela jumped out of a warthog that had slid into a few Iron bear marines letting loose streams of 14.5mm rounds from her own Heavy machine gun at the Iron Bears making sure  to  avoid friendly fire against her own forces and avoid hitting any of the blue creatures.
