Halo: Hollow Vendetta (Part 34)

The blood-red commander grew furious, thinking to himself, "Idiot squad I ended up with," he subtly moved his Krith’s Left Hand wherever the humans moved to, but he silently let out a "grr" when his allies came into his scope. "To ignore the Admiral is a death sentance!," yelled the Imperial Admiral. The Silent Shadow commander answered back: "Only four of the Silent Shadow squad remain, targets are extremely stubborn, and my allies are childish fools with lack of discipline and tactics."

Katsu aimed his Magnum at the hand of the charging Elite before firing, the bullets hit it’s hand causing it to yell in pain as he dropped his Energy Sword, purple paint-like blood dripped from the hole caused by the bullet. The Elite then grabbed his Talon of the Lost, aiming it at the Headhunter, but Katsu rolled to the left and fired back via the Magnum. The Neddler’s bullets were as sharp as knives as they dug into stone, wood, and Katsu’s armor as if they were melting butter.

The human fell to the ground, but he tried standing back up. Then he noticed his enemy reloading. So he quickly drew out his Magnum to aim at it’s left hand, the bullet splattering more blood as the Needler fell to the soil below. It roared in rage. "Katsu duck!," yelled Adla. Katsu turned his eyes to the left to see the commander pointing his bone-white rifle at him.

It walked up to the Headhunters, sniffing them as it circled around them like a shark. Licking their cold, dirt-stained armors which caused it to quickly raise it’s head in both disgust and curiosity, next it’s metallic teeth displayed a small glow. "I almost want to pet the tiny pest," said Katsu. Adla thought to herself: "Not the only one huh?" The blood-red Elite was standing sixteen feet away from the Spartans, aiming for Adla’s helmet. He put his wrinkly grey finger on the trigger, his three men surrounding Adla and Katsu as they aimed their Needlers at them.

"Silent Shadow, status report," said the Imperial Admiral through the comms, alerting the Spartans and causing the wolverine to growl aggressively, they turned and looked at vague silhouettes. As the Admiral kept demanding for a status report the blood-red Sangheili fired his Beam Rifle, but the bullet was dodged and instead blazed through the skull of one of his own men. The wolverine pounced onto one of the Elites to constantly scrape and chomp on their armor. Adla fired her SMG before Katsu rapidly shot at the Sangheili, they rolled to the sides before pulling out their energy swords, charging at the Headhunters who ducked and stepped to the sides.

Halo: Hollow Vendetta (Part 32)

The two turned their eyes in all directions, Adla thought to herself: "Hostiles, come out from whatever rock you’re hiding under worms." Then Katsu thought to himself: "I hope we get to base in time," as he looked up at the sky. He noticed many shapes from a turtle, then a sharp mountain, and then waves, he felt calm as his attention were glued to the heavens. But as he was deciphering another shape there was more rustling. Him and Adla quickly stopped, staying still like statues and turning their heads slowly. When leaves began scratching against one another they turned left.

But it stopped as soon as they looked. They then firmly gripped their firearms as they pointed them at the bushes. Suddenly the rustling began again, Adla thought to herself: "I’ll be so glad once these Elites are dead." The noise grew louder, Katsu nearly pulled the trigger out of fear, then a talon as grey as a dolphin swept emerged to swipe soil like a broom. Adla took a step back. A berry rolled out of the bushes, the rustling shook violently as a yellow paw emerged from the jade-green, Adla and Katsu about to pull their triggers when...a yellow wolverine came out to eat the berry. It’s mouth stained with the purple juice of fruits.

"It at least has nice blue eyes," said Katsu.

Halo: Hollow Vendetta (Part 31)

Then, small rocks began rolling off the wall. The Headhunters turned to see an enormous grey claw enter the rustling bushes. "Elites?," wondered Katsu, then the ONI agent asked for their exact location, Katsu replied by saying they were at the Cygnus river and u certain of the specifics. Suddenly, the bushes were moving side-to-side rapidly like they were waving hands, a snarl approached them. It grew louder. The Spartans aimed their weapons at the coming noise, they took steps forward as they looked closely for their stalker, Katsu then grabbed a rock to thrust it into the bushes but the sound stopped. In a computer room the ONI agent gave orders to send pick-up Falcons for the lost Headhunters.

Marines took seats in the UH-144 Falcons before taking off rushing. From the sky, an eagle with wine-red feathers gently descended on Adla’s head. She looked at it’s beak as white as marble as it looked north, it’s like it was listening for a specific sound, it didn’t blink once and always turned it’s head and body like the arrows of a clock. "There’s determination in those ultramarine eyes, what is your goal my feathered friend," said Adla. The raptor then flew to the other side of the azure river. It lowered it’s head to sip the crystal-clear water, as it watched the Headhunters pass by a mahogany tree with leaves as white as pearls, it stood tall as the wind shook it’s lush branches.

Halo: Hollow Vendetta (Part 30)

"Don’t move forward, I suspect the Spartans have laid down a trap," said the blood-red figure...before Katsu tossed a frag grenade into the air, then Adla pulled the tripper of a Tactical Magnum, the bullet pierced the explosive like a javelin, the Trip Mine and Power Drain illuminated with a singeing flare as the Elites yelled: "It burns!" The rising flames blocked the sniper’s view as it consumed the SpecOps unit, the Spartans ran as fast as they could, Adla looked back thinking: "Don’t spot us, don’t spot us."

"Idiots!," yelled the sniper. He looked through the scope but was unable to spot the Headhunters. Adla and Katsu were walking by a wall of tan and white stones which gave them perfect cover from the sniper, the sound of the river distracted Katsu. "Why does this planet have such compelling loveliness?," thought Katsu. The blood-red Sangheili approached three Silent Shadow as they struggled to stand up, their armor blackened and smoking, the crimson of their armors now stained by soot. "This is why the Imperial Admiral put me in charge of ANIMALS," stated the sniper in an upset tone.

Katsu heard a voice in his comms, the ONI agent sounded as though he were asking for their status and location. Adla received a more clear transmission as she asked if he could hear them, the ONI agent said ‘yes’. Adla stated her and Katsu’s Falcons crashing along with their uncertainty about the statue’s condition. "We’ve been trying to reach the carrier but no communication has bee reach yet," said the ONI agent in a calm, nervous tone. Adla asked if he was despairing, the redhead said it was an irrelevant question and ordered her to focus. But Adla told him the commander’s duty is to lead, if his men see his fear, it will infect them like a plague.

So she asked again if he was in despair...he replied with: "I lie to myself that all will be well." Adla was silent, she didn’t move, it’s like she was encased in ice.

I try to cling onto righteousness, although I live in a world stained by ink and oil. Lawlessness is promoted, deception is the norm, and genocide does not concern anyone. Carnality and materialism stalk me as though ready to swallow me alive.

Halo: Hollow Vendetta (Part 29)

Adla and Katsu lowered their guns in relief. The two walked down to the flowing river, it roared loudly like a tiger, the elegant fluid calmed down the Headhunters. They attempted to contact home-base again, but still there was only silence. A tall figure in blood-red armor kneeled as he aimed his Krith’s Left Hand, but as he looked through the scope he saw Katsu and Adla duck behind cover. The blood-red figure noticed some his squad approaching the Spartans with scarlet Energy Swords.

"Hold Position, you alert them to our presence," said the sniper. But the ground troop responded with how they are so close to the Spartans, they outnumber them, and can therefore intimidate them. As the blood-red figure continued to demand his squad to disengage Adla and Katsu activated their active camouflage, before slowly approaching the Silent Shadow, they set up a TR/9 AM and Power Drain closer to their enemies. The Silent Shadow turned to seek the rustling bushes, but found only chipmunks chasing one another.

"Lucky our furry friends came just on time," thought Adla.

This werewolf comic would be so much cooler if all of my contacts weren’t deleted. Got rid of the Contacts app to make some space when, all of my contacts were deleted. Damn pity.

Halo: Hollow Vendetta (Part 28)

As they continued traversing they were tempted by the surrounding scenery. The snow caught their eyes, the mint-scented vegetation pleased them too much, and the lake felt impossible to ignore. The two Spartans shook with pressure as they tried focusing on the mission.

Adla turned her head to speak with Katsu but then looked forward again; Katsu almost opened his mouth but then he quickly closed it again. The two tried so hard to not admire the mountains cutting into the clouds nor the silver bears with vibrant eyes as red as apples. "Targets in sight, remember: dogs cannot scratch away fleas if they cannot see them," said a hidden Sangheili through the comms.

Breaking twigs caused Adla to aim her silencer SMG’s, shaking bushes made Katsu aim his DMR, they both stood in fear of the rustling which grew louder as it came closer. Adla was thinking of who it might be, considering Sangheili SpecOps and Jiralhanae Stalkers. When a caramel-brown nut rolled out of the bushes the Headhunters were prepared to kill their pursuers. Then, they emerged: a gaze of raccoons with yellow fur and golden masks.

Halo: Hollow Vendetta (Part 27)

A pilot was shaking with every move he made, then he said he wants to take off his helmet due to him sweating heavily. A Banshee shot it’s gleaming Fuel Rod Cannon which saw Adla’s Falcon scorched, enshrouded in emerald mist as it spun around and crashed hardly into trees. Katsu exited the aircraft to search for survivors, then he found the Deadeye-Class Spartan emerging from the bent, blackened Falcon.

The two looked up to see Seraphs and Banshees appearing to have lost them. "Admiral, we are unsure about the status of the two Spartans," said a Brute Major. The Imperial Admiral responded with: "Fang Squad, send in your most elite infantry to rid of the two plagues, leave no survivors." Adla and Katsu were walking back to home base as they spoke through the comms, constantly turning left, right, and behind, hoping that they were not followed.

[shiveryhail]

Halo: Hollow Vendetta (Part 26)

Adla and Katsu exit the Falcon to begin walking up to a frosty cave seemingly made of ivory and pearls, inside they met nervous glaciologists waiting for them with a cart colored a gleaming bronze. Adla reached with one hand to grab the cart’s blanket as red as wine, slightly uncovering it to take a peek at the icy-blue Venus.

"Easier than anticipated," thought Adla as she confidently walked alongside the statue...then, she heard a roar from the skies. She turned her head to she Banshees looking straight into her visor. They rushed backwards with roaring flames blasting from their exhausts, a worried Adla told everyone to hurry up before they returned with their friends, placing the Venus statue in a rectangular, metallic case as fast as they could.

The Falcons flew from the position but were shot at by Seraphs; Adla and Katsu then manned the turret guns to shoot at their pursuers. Plasma Cannons fired lapis lazuli flames, Pulse Lasers fired beams of violet flares, scorching the helicopters. Then shots hit the same Falcon to create a large cloud of smoke.

"Go on without us, the statue is the number one directive," said Adla over the comms as her aircraft emerged from the smog to shoot a Banshee from the skies.

I drew this being inspired by Terry Bogard from the Fatal Fury animated films, and Angewomon from Digimon. I was going to color her hair blonde on SnapChat but it looked fine as it was.

I need a helpful critique for this poem here as I am trying to publish a poem book, and I want my writing to be as neat as possible, her it is:

Silky, smooth blonde hair blinds me with it’s lustre. The low ponytail resembles the tail of a galloping horse. The vibrant side-swept bangs appear like shooting stars dashing towards the heavens. Before me is a gleaming Tiger’s eye, laces made of amber, and the medal for first place. Why does Voluptas need a crown when her hair glows brighter than Virgo? I question if it is as soft as clouds, if it moves like rivers. Lada’s hair must smell sweeter than honey and as sleek as milk. Could there be anything else as ethereal as the sphene I stare at, have I exaggerated the saffron citrine, and could I ever forget about the chartreuse sulphur? All I envision is the color yellow. My eyes are always in front of gold and citrine, would it be a crime if I forgot all about her?

[shiveryhail]

I was inspired by Wolverine’s yellow and blue costume to draw this. I was looking up the symbolism for his hues and found that they are perfect for a symbol of overcoming depression and attaining bliss and joy. I even came up with a dope emblem. 🐴

Halo: Hollow Vendetta (Part 25)

Their commander told them Duellum Vanitas may collapse, the enemy seems too smart and organized, and how backup may not arrive on time...the planet could be scorched and rampant with primates and Komodo Dragons, even saying how it’s easy to fall into despair. Then he stated how their could win them the war.

Speaking in a confident voice he said: "Pretend this is your final effort ever, motivation will surely follow. Now let’s show these inhuman jackasses that they can have our dirt, but not our home nor allegiance!"

His troops raised their arms with fervent passion as they roared "Hura!" Katsu joined them, then Adla raised a fist in the air, as three Falcons flew away the ONI agent told them through the radio: "Good Luck." They flew over a vibrant forest covered in snow, it displayed the whitest of frost, lush green trees pointing to the heavens, and a calm river flowing elegantly. "You should all see this view, it’s art," said a pilot as he looked at the surrounding biome.

Halo: Hollow Vendetta (Part 24)

Katsu asked in a demanding voice: "What do I get from doing YOUR JOB?" The ONI agent said he would be given 37 million dollars, a secret home free of charge, he wouldn’t have to be concerned with taxes for five years, and for this mission he would be given an over-shield with upgraded endurance and longer active time. The Reaper-Class Spartan was thinking in his head how long before they betrayed him, he had recalled ONI’s atrocities from their assassination attempts of Half-Jaw to Asteroidia, but he also thought that he himself may be acting a bit selfish.

"This is war, lives are at stake, but if I’m another scapegoat this redhead is dead meat!," thought Katsu. He finally accepted the task before being told that he would work with the other Spartan in the room: "Adla," being informed that she too was a headhunter. "I hope your not afraid," said Adla in a calm, sarcastic tone. The Spartans entered an armory where they grabbed magnums and sniper rifles, Adla grabbed an ‘End of the Line’ variant while Katsu picked up tactical Magnums, then they boarded a Falcon with ODST’s. As Katsu entered the helicopter he thought to himself: "Bro...if I’m lucky, maybe we’ll be with mom and dad soon, if I’m lucky."
