As Voras followed Trace the machines from the drop pod began to follow them in perfect even lines and formation. They moved further into the city, and the deeper they went the more the destruction became evident. Bodies lay everywhere, Human, and Covenant. Mostly human. From soldiers, to civilians, to children. Voras had seen it before. Dozens of worlds, all worse then this one city, and yet just the same. Skyscrapers had holes blown in them, rubble lay strewn throughout the streets, and vehicles lay about smashed. Screams and gunfire echoed off the massive buildings making it sound so far away, like a nightmare, but Voras knew all of it was not far away. Tripods also lay about, half blown apart and collapsed. Up above a banshee was crashed into the side of a building. Everything was cast in shadow by the massive steel colored hull that floated above them all. Voras paused at a fourway intersection and felt eyes on him and his warriors, from the buildings around him. Human civilians stared at him in fear. He could see terror on their faces through the rubble. The same terror he saw on the faces of the humans from his universe.
A horn bellowed from down an intersection to his left, he snapped out of his stupor quickly. A tripod stood about a block away, staring at the group with it's massive eye. As it's weapons began to charge Voras yelled out orders. "Get to cover! Use the buildings to your advantage, get above it!" As he ran toward the nearest building he remembered the faces of the humans inside, and quickly contacted Trace over coms. "Keidran, distract the walker while my warriors get a shot on it!" He made his way inside through a large smashed window, two other Sangheili quickly followed. Both armed with fuel rod guns. They quickly made their way further into the building, but Voras paused when they entered the next room. Dozens of humans stood about, staring at the trio of Sangheili, murmuring to themselves, crying even. Some even carried small children. To their side was a section of the ceiling that had collapsed to form a ramp of sort. He turned to his fellow warriors, speaking Sangheili. "Make your way above, I shall calm these humans. I will be with you shortly brothers." The other elites grunted their replies and made their way up. Voras put his carbine on his back and walked over to the humans.

trace seeing the corpses scattered about on his video feed "... i think im going to be sick " Trace said lowly while trying not to throw up before the fog horn like sound blared and as the troopers took cover and Voras gave the new order. swallowing the lump in his throat "right focus you have done this before just today even " he said lowly before the liger took of zig zagging down the road.

Acies stands on top of the shuttle riding towards the tripod where his troops had now begun digging in. He jumps off as they fly above the tripod, about 50 feet up and 2o feet away, beginning to fly rapidly towards it. He draws his sword, super-heating it and slamming in into the walkers head sword first, piercing the cockpit area, he begins cutting around the cockpit, attempting to remove the cover.

Voras stopped, looking down at the humans. "Fear not, humans, I am Fleet Master Voras 'Tosumee of the Covenant Empire. We shall defend your world from these invaders. Your leaders choose to squabble amongst each other and argue over what to do, but I tell you there is only one thing you can do. Survive. You shall follow us to the city center, there we will have a ship to evacuate you all. I ask you to stay behind us, but I also ask that after this battle you rally with me as one. Show me what your species is capable of, and we shall stand with you in defense of Earth." A large explosion sounded from outside, and Voras realized speech time was over. He took one last look at the humans and recognized one look present on almost all their faces. Determination.
Voras made him way up four floors, and found his troops opening fire at the tripod below him. It seemed occupied with the machines they found before, but it also took occasional shots at Trace as he dodged back and forth. His troops seemed to be holding back their main barrage until he was there. "Open fire!" Voras ordered and the two heavy troopers opened fire. From across the street the other Sangheili did the same. He heard a loud pop as the tripod's shields came offline, however it became evident that everyone was reloading. The tripod stopped it's assault on the forces below it and immediately targeted the Sangheili across the street in the opposite tower. They were blown apart in under a second, the martian heat rays turning them to ash before his eyes. However, out of nowhere, a ship flew in. It was the size of a dropship and it simply flew over at about the same height as the floor voras and his warriors stood. That was when Voras noticed a figure standing on the shuttle. He watched the man jump to the tripod below. He was surprised to see the man wielding a sword. The figure began to hack away at the walker, and Voras could tell the fool was about to be blasted by one of the heat rays.
He drew his own blade and charged out the side of the building, jumping to the walker below. He plunged his energy sword into the hull of the craft as he landed, making sure that he wouldn't fall off. He drew back the blade as he stabilized himself and turned to the man. "Cutting at this armor will do nothing! The cockpit is below!"

Acies throws Voras a nod, placing an explosive device in the small hole he had made and catapulting himself off the tripod, landing feet first on the ground with a loud thud

The explosive blew the front of the tripod apart, and immediately Voras felt the walker begin to tilt and fall. He jumped from the walker as it approached the ground, mentally thanking his armor for allowing him to do such a feat. He turned to quickly tuned to Acies as he caught his breath. "Who are you?" He asked in a cautious tone.

Acies sheathes its sord back in his holster, turning calmy to Voras. "Acies Ferroque, ruler of the first CyberTech Emperium, here to assist you in whatever way I can. Im the leader of this here army" he says gesturing to his soldiers "And who would you be?" He says curiosly, holding out his hand for the alien to shake

"You call these machines an army?" Voras questioned. "You're are a human, and by my knowledge your race has not spread out across the stars." He paused and glared at the human. "You will follow my command or you will perish with these invaders. By my honor I protect this world, do not stand in our way." Voras turned away and began to make his way to the city center (Times Square), it being only a few blocks away now.

Acies lowers his hand, dusting himself off after the aliens greeting. As Voras walks away, Acies gestures to his forces. The robots line up behind him and they begin marching behind Voras, Acies follows some 20 meters behind muttering under his breath, "For an honorable warrior race, you Shangheli sure are assholes"

Having barely heard the remark from Acies trace muttered out "you have no idea" while the liger stated heading to central park and luna.

Voras saw many humans gathered in the city center as they entered. Many covenant warriors were defending the streets leading in. In fact, looking down another street Voras saw his Scarab making short work of another tripod. He activated coms and spoke, addressing Trace. "Get as many out of here as possible, there are hundreds, maybe even thousands in this area. We will move when you secure the middle park." He then turned to Acies. "Move your machines into support positions I wan-"
Idyu detected a massive energy spike from the martian warship. It's shields still hadn't given in, even after relentless bombardment from the full fleet. But now they finally detected something. "Sire, readings match those from orbit, the vessel is powering it's main weapon!" Idyu shook his head, there was no way it was going to try aiming at them, so what would it be- "By the prophets... Open up communication with the fleetmaster!" The communications officer nodded and he was soon patched in. "Fleetmaster," he began, effectively interrupting Voras. "the vessel is powering it's main weapon, they seek to destroy the city!"
Voras looked up at the dark steel colored disk hanging above and began to notice lances of blue light moving toward a central point. No doubt they were charging their main gun. "All forces, full retreat!" Voras yelled over every com channel. "Get as many humans out as possible, but get out, now!" He looked at Acies once more. "Make your machines lead the humans to the Kiedran, he will evacuate as many as he can. But we must go!" He drew his rifle and watched the chaos around him.

Acies nods to Voras, turning to his troops who promptly salute him. He doesn't exactly know what a keidran is, but he can make a guess. He pulls up a holographic screen on the gauntlet of his armor tapping it lightly. "ill need all of you to split up into designated companies, your goal is to get these people to central park!" He shouts to his soldiers. "Prioritize the rescue first, fighting is not essential, if you see a situation you can avoid, do so1 Now move out!" As he says this, the hundreds of robots surrounding the area form up, heading in every direction to assist in the effort at hand. More pods are also dropping in now, more on the outskirts of the area, these robots begin scouting around to find large groups of people. Acies simply leaps up to the top of a nearby, small, crumbling building, perching from it to stare at his troops, hes not sure where he should put himself in this yet
