A Different 'Variety'

      Green leader was one of the first tie fighters to make contact with the enemy, witch when he first saw them named them 'rain'. But when he got one behind him, he barely thought them as harmless as rain. Pulling all sorts of evasive maneuvers, he could not shake the now renamed 'flame'. Then it started to shoot. Great globs of what he could only guess were plasma, but of a different kind than he knew, were being thrown at him vary rapidly. Finally he'd had enough of it and did a back flip.

      'Fastanee was amazed that it took so long for his enemy to escape his pursuit, and at last did the maneuver that he was waiting for. 'The humans have better piloting skills that these creatures,' 'Fastanee thought as he slowed down so he could again pursue the orb. After the orb had completed its turn, he shot fiery plasma at it and turned it into nothing but a heap of molten slag drifting in space. After melting the orb, he went on to find a new target, and those were not in short supply.

      After about fifteen minutes the battle was starting to become one sided. Even though the tie fighters had upgraded weapons and were very fast, the seraphs were just as fast, almost as good as weapons, but were better pilots. The minute a seraph was destroyed, a tie fighter was turned to slag. Soon the ties started to retreat with the seraphs hot on their tails. In the end a score of seraphs and a score and a half had been destroyed.

      Unknown to the Covenant, the Imperial fleet had sent out boarding craft half way through the dogfight. By the time the tie fighters were fleeing, the boarding craft had made it to the Divine Intervention and started to engage the crew of the ship. Fortunately the Ship Master had been expecting this so had all the crew fitted for battle.

      When the first Storm Troopers had entered the ship they where horrified to find that the inhabitants of the ship were monstrous creatures of large and small stature. The first kind of Covenant they faced where Grunts. They laughed at the small creatures and shot them dead. They found out the hard way that the Grunts breathed methane. The next kind they encountered where Jackals and they weren't impressed, though they marveled at the shield devices they had.

      At last they found something that really horrified them. Elites and Brutes. Both monsters where about 7 ½ feet tall. Elites possessed strength beyond twice the norm for their kind, Brutes were three times, both where fast and agile, and ,to the humans dismay, very intelligent. Brutes were tearing people apart left and right, Elites slashing and burning their way through the lines of men. The humans found that their blaster guns had little effect on the Burners, as they called the Elites, but worked quite well in force on the Brawlers, as they called the Brutes.

      While a large group of Storm Troopers were creeping along a corridor they discovered a group of 4 Hunters. On first sight they were terrified. They tried shooting the beasts to no avail, their blaster shots scorched the armor and did nothing more. After being threatened the Hunters charged and took out half the Troopers in that charge. After another quarter went down the Storm Troopers found the exposed spaces and exploited them. Only one Hunter went down from the combined fire of the Troopers, after that the rest were melted by the Hunters' fuel rod canons.

      The Covenant were surprised that the new force were naught but humans. They wondered why the humans had changed the design of their ships and where they got the new laser technology. They were also intrigued by the new armor they had. At first they thought that they had more Demons to unleash in a white armor, but when they figured out that they were not so vicious as the Demons they smiled at themselves and fought with a new vigor, much to the fear of the human newcomers. In the end the boarding craft plan had utterly failed.

      Enrika 'Tanamee drew a deep breath after he dis-activated his energy sword. While walking down a corridor he came upon a pair of the new humans. The humans, seeing only one of him, started to open fire on him. Enrika was amazed that the humans laser rifles had so little effect on their shields. He drew out his energy sword, slashed one and cut the others arm off. He did not slay both because he knew from his tactical training class that when facing a new enemy, find out as much about them as you can. He took his prisoner and took him to the containment cells for questioning. 'Tanamee pushed his captive into a chair that automatically bound him with beams of energy.

      "Who are you and who do you work for?" 'Tanamee asked. "I am Clone 25349871, I work for the Galactic Empire," the clone said in an almost automated fashion. Puzzling, "What is this Galactic Empire that you speak of?" "It is the governing force in my galaxy, and it claims this pitiful one and all those who dwell in it," said the clone with grim smirk on his face. "We shall see," said 'Tanamee. "You have now made an enemy with the Covenant, the ruling force in this galaxy. Now go, and tell your commanding officer what you humans have dragged yourselves into." With that 'Tanamee deactivated the restraints and threw the human out into the hall, where he made his way to a boarding craft, flew to the lead star destroyer and gave this message to Jonas Telmarine.
