Greed... It is known mostly to destroy and ravage the world as we know it, seperate and strip us of all we hold dear... But sometimes, if you're smart and play your cards right, it can be a blessing and help us attain prosperity... Dominance... It can easily give, as it can easly strip away and there's something to want and desire at every corner, and sometimes, others will want it too. When this happens, only a select few can prosper from it, but as you know, when there is conflict, there is violence. This is a story of Greed and with it war and violence. Two great factions, two great armies dueling in the name of greed and prosperity, one will inevitably fall, one will prosper, but the question is, which one and at what cost?
Huff... Huff... Huff... The noise came whispered and raspy, as an armoured figure sprinted through the dull green and rather short, uneven grass. He seemed to be running at a desperate pace, his footsteps slugishly pounding on the rough ground, brown dust flying up as he stepped on a dry, grassless patch. Passing by a rather awkwardly shaped boulder, shaped as if it was a stone geyser, springing from the ground and jumping right, stopping as it turned to the side, but did not droop down, still maintaining a rather straight shape. However, this did not even catch the attention of the figure, who seemed as if he were a man, but his armour covered too much of his body for anyone to truly know. Soon, the figure reached a giant rock phase, standing tall and proud against the lumpy terrain, filled with all sorts of awkward rock phases. The figure, clasping upon an uneven little ledge and then setting his arm upon a vine that wrapped aroung the rock, before using his right leg to support himself onto a lower ledge, slowly beginning his ascention upon the giant rock, with slow calculated movements, and a firm, steady grip, he continued to climb. Then, he made a great mistake, he suddenly turned his gaze on the land below him, seeing that another armoured figure was right beside another deformed rock forme, it's armour painted a bright blue, and in it's supposed hands, a dark grey mechanism with a rather long cylinder attached to it, at the end of that cylinder, a thin large rectangle at the end. Supposedly, it was a firearm, one that the armoured humanoid figure upon the great rock dreaded and recongnized, then suddenly, the other armoured figure spoke in an alien tone, aiming the firearm at the humanoid, as the one that had the firearm was directed at him started to madly paw it's way up the rock phase, suddenly slipping and sliding down unil his foot touched a sturdy vine, one he could balance on, but now it was already too late. The Blue figure had anticipated this, suddenly directing it's aim down at the humanoid and firing, a seemingly invisible bullet, it's path only distinguished by a trail of smoke that was left behind it as it pierced through the human's heart, the one who shot the bullet supposedly laughing as others like it, with fleshy mandibles and two giant toes as well as other, purple coloured metallic machinery clasped in their hands. They descended forwards, talking in their native tongue as they started up the great cliff, slinging their mechanisms behing their back.
Later, in an unknown flat, base-like advanced construct was one single armoured man, his helmet had been taken off, lying on the ground next to a fine leather seat he sat on, the armour looked very much like the one that the murdered humanoid was wearing, the helmet was somewhat different, but it did not matter. In front of the man who sat in the seat was a vast array of small screen Televisions, one playing what seemed like a television show, the others showing locations of the interior of a construct that looked much like the one he was in. The man then gazed at the radar near him, sighing as if he were depressed. Soon, another armoured humanoid, this one which had the shape of a human female walked through a door located on the other end of the room.
"Jaques, I've lost communication with Kyle." She sounded like she was over the radio, but under that voice was one of great sign of worry.
"I know, Julie, I'm the one at the local area radar remember?" Jaques sighed deeply.
Too bad the radar doesn't work once the user is dead. He thought, frowning as he looked back to the radar, pressing some buttons on the metal frame that covered the wiring, as the screen that showed the television program suddenly flashed to the green radar. He looked at it, seeing a playback of Kyle's death, supposedly because he fell from a cliff while trying to climb up. Kyle was represented by a blue little glowing dot, while others, without the specific coding that was installed on his, Julie's and Kyle's Radar glowed red. He let the playback start from the moment before Kyle died and thought he noticed something as the playback finished, he rewinded it somewhat before stopping it, looking closely at the edge of the screen, then peering closely, Jaques saw a little red glow... Then he had realized something, Kyle did not have an accident, but instead was murdered by hostile forces.
"JULIE!" He yelled to the door, as the familiar female figure quickly ran through the entrance.
"Jaques, what is it?" She asked in a voice that was as if she spoke through a radio.
"Julie, take a look at this." Jaques pointed towards the right side of the playback, as Julie put her hand on her helmet, pulling it off and ran to the face the screen.
"What? I don't see it..." Her voice trailed as she peered to the right side of the screen, seeing the faint red glow on the radar's playback. Both now knew that the Covenant had arrived, and they both knew that they were going to have to prepare themselves, for another bloody onslaught, another battle, another great war...
Soon, ships from Earth deployed to the planet, which was supposedly named Keliah, which was the name of not only a great Covenant warrior, but also a Human Commander, who fought bravely on Reach and died trying to save it. Now the soldiers aboard them were fresh, filled iwth morale and the ambition to become a hero and leader, and Spartans who knew of the great potential that lay on the planet. It was the turning point of the war, each and every soldier who served would be making history, impacting the future, the actions of even one tiny grunt could change the tides of war, and it was all up to the humans and the Covenant to see who would prove to be victorious. Soon, the first of the human ships docked into orbit, as did Covenant Spacecrafts, letting smaller spaceships head into the planet's atmosphere. Very soon did reinforcements from both sides arrive to one of their many bases, and all knew that the war had begun, all knew that destiny was to be made, but the question is... Who will emerge victorious? And who will be the one to fall?
Welcome, to Halo: Shadow in the Light. Basically, this takes place on the planet of Keliah, where both the UNSC and the Covenant have found resouces here, plasma embedded inside crystals, useful for their weaponry, as well as metal ores that can be used to build their vehicles. The UNSC has found a large amount of oil, used to power vehicles, as well as a great cache of oil, iron, gold and even diamonds. Capturing this big planet will be a great benefit to both factions, and could decide the track of this war. This takes place a little bit after The Fall of Reach, which left both factions weakened. Also, a distant planet has been found that had a great population of Skirmishers, which otherwise, would not be able to be a playable character in this RP. All Halo weapons are available, but not all of them will be able to be accessed by normal members. I am looking for Mapmakers, a banner. I look forward to making a literate RP.
