Chapter 17
Team RWBY, NPR & Hellwolf team are preparing their weapons to fight a silent shadow for the first time. Everyone is running away from the fighting while AKs came and aim at him. Gork'Laok look at Arkkor with his fury eyes that he side with humans that killed his comrades during the war. He won't forgive him for he is now a heretic and let the downfall of the covenant thanks to Thel' Vadam (aka Arbiter) who led the elites to kill the prophet of truth that leads to the Great Journey. He still holding his energy sword to prepare a battle and he said.
Gork'Laok:" Well, it isn't the humans and the heretic here on this planet filled with these vermin."
They look at him as a threat. Alex stepped in and said.
Alex:" Who are you and how did you get here?"
Gork'Laok:" I am Gork'Laok, leader of silent shadow. And as for your question, it's none of your business as human says."
He was about to attack him when Arkkor stops him. He turns his face at him and said.
Arkkor:" Gork'Laok, why are attacking us?"
Gork'Laok:" What? You just said like that?"
He laughed for his mockery words. Ruby and her friends don't like him for laughing at Arkkor. He stopped and said to him with his angry look behind his mask.
Gork'Laok:" For being a heretic and killing the prophet of truth, you bring shame to the warriors of the covenant and thus, you must die."
Team RWBY & NPR eyes wide open that he's one of the covenants that kills millions of innocent people before. Pyrrha said to him.
Pyrrha:" So, you are a part of covenant right?"
Gork'Laok:" Yes, and who are you vermin."
She was angry for calling her vermin. She and her friends ready their weapons to fight him. Hellwolf stepped in and said.
Hellwolf:" Listen, pal, the war is over. The covenant is defeated. There's no way to bring it back. So, surrender now or we will fight here."
He smirked that he was going to surrender to them. He ready his position to begin the fight.
Gork'Laok:" For silent shadow, we never surrender to the enemy!"
He runs towards him and swing at Hellwolf only to be blocked by Arkkor energy sword. He moved back and dodge the bullets from AKs that open fire at him. He roared as a signal as more covenants enter the fight shooting at AKs and everyone else. They went in the stand to take cover. They can see a lot of covenants coming out of the forest. Alex shoots at them with his assault rifle while Goryar fires at them with his plasma pistol.
Hellwolf:" Those covenant bastards! How did they manage to get here!"
Blake:" I don't know but they're about to kill people here."
Pyrrha:" We won't let that happen. Hellwolf, we'll get the people out of here while you hold them off."
Hellwolf:" Got it! We'll cover you once I give a signal."
Ruby went to Arkkor and said.
Ruby:" Arkkor, please don't die out there."
He places his hand on her hair and said.
Arkkor:" Don't worry, I will not go down without a fight."
It brings her a smiled as she went back to others. The AKs tried their best to shoot them but they ended up killed. He gives a signal as they went to save people while they firing at them to cover them. Once they're clear, Alex throws a grenade at them, killing them in the explosion. Goryar and Arkkor keep shooting at them to keep them away from killing the civilians. Hellwolf reloading his SMG and fire at them. He taps on Alex's shoulder to get his attention.
Hellwolf:" Call the UNSC & SA! We need reinforcement to take them down!"
Alex:" Roger that!"
He put his finger onto the comms to conduct to the base. A covenant elite goes to them when he got shot by Hellwolf SMG. Then, he said on the comms.
Alex:" This is spartan 105, does anyone read me!"
UNSC man:" This is UNSC base, I read you."
Alex:" We're under attack by Covenant forces! I repeat, covenant forces. I need reinforcement!"
UNSC man:" Copy that. Just hold them off until reinforcement arrives."
Alex:" Roger that, over out!"
He ends his comms and said to Hellwolf.
Alex:" The reinforcement will arrive here in a few minutes. We need to hold them off!"
Hellwolf:" Gotcha! Everyone, let's kick some covenant a**!"
The jumped out the stand and rushed at them as they firing their guns at them. A covenant grunt fired his needle at Alex only to be shot by Goryar. Arkkor switches his plasma rifle to energy sword as he slashes 3 grunts, elites & 4 jackals. Alex went to the brute that firing at him and he stabbed a brute neck with his combat knife.

A remaining AKs manage to kill 3 grunts & 1 jackal but they destroyed by the hunters. The vale police force went to help them fight against the covenant. Arkkor kill a brute at behind and look at a hunter that fires at police cars. He went to it and slice the head of the hunter. He looks back to see Gork'Laok standing there with his energy sword he held.
Gork'Laok:" You bring shame to the covenant that wanted us to go on the Great Journey."
Arkkor:" The journey is a lie! Why do you still serve the covenant after what the brutes murder our brethren!"
He goes to him and attack with his blade as Gork'Laok block his attack.
Gork'Laok:" The prophet told me everything about their plans and so I accept it!"
He was shocked and angry that he knows everything about the prophet plan before the great schism.
Arkkor:" You knew everything! You betray your kind! If you don't stop this madness then you consider yourself as a war criminal!"
He pushed him hard as he swings his blade multiple times while Arkkor blocking it. He kicked at his stomach, pinned him down on the ground and make him drop his energy sword. He walks towards him and held his energy sword.
Gork'Laok:" A war crime doesn't concern me now. I'll make sure that you'll be remembered as a shame warrior."
Arkkor tried to reach it but Gork'Laok put his foot on his hand. He feels pain as he tries to break free but no avail. He raise his energy sword to end his life.
Gork'Laok:" Goodbye, heretic."
He was going to stab him when Ruby cam out of nowhere kicked at his side. Arkkor grabs bis energy sword and stands up to see Ruby doing her attack formation at him.
Arkkor:" Ruby, I thought you helping your friends to get the humans out of here."
Ruby:" I was worry about you & I heard your scream so I came to save you from him."
Arkkor:" Guess I don't blame you for that. Thank you for saving me."
She was smiled at him for appreciation when they heard Gork'Laok shouted at them.
Gork'Laok:" You and your filthy female human will pay for your that!"
They both ready their weapons to fight him. Arkkor growled and said to him.
Arkkor:" Her name Ruby Rose and you don't call her human filthy."
As he said, they both attack at him. Ruby uses her sniper mode to shoot at him but it didn't effective. Arkkor swings his blade at him as Gork'Laok blocks his attack but he caught surprised by Ruby using her scythe to swing at him. He hitting at the tree causing him feeling pain at his back.

Meanwhile, Goryar shoots at a covenant elite with his needle in multiple times as it explodes him. He throws a plasma grenade at covenant major grunt as he screams to running away towards his group of grunts.

They fired at a beowolf and lay dead. They relieved when suddenly a few of Grimms came and attack them. Everyone is looking at a group of Grimms coming out of the forest to attack everyone. Alex shoots his assault rifle at beowolves and boarbatusks. They keep battle each other when a rocket fired at the Grimms, along with covenant forces. Hellwolf and the others saw a hornet firing the Grimms and covenant forces as the pelicans, phantoms, wasps & hornets have arrived the scene.

They look at it to see a covenant elite holding her as a hostage and put his energy sword closet to her throat making her scared. Everyone is aiming at him but they don't want to risk to shoot her.
Coco:" Hey! Let her go!"
He laughed and said to her.
Covenant elite:" And what are you going to do? Try to save your hu-"
Then he realizes that she's not a human. He angrily said to her.
Covenant elite:" By the prophet, what are you freak!"
Johnson:" Hey ugly! Leave her alone!"
He looks at him and angrily said to him.
Covenant elite:" Explain to me what kind of freak is this!"
Coco:" Hey! She's not a freak. She's a faunus!"
Covenant elite:" What is faunus? Hmph! It doesn't matter, I will kill this freak with my blade!"
He was about to end her when Arkkor stepped in and shouted.
Arkkor:" Hold! You should not kill her in honor."
Covenant elite:" Heretic. I will enjoy it once I take your head!"
He said as he throws Velvet on the ground and rush attack at him. Arkkor activates his energy sword and swing at his body, killing his process. Then it is over, Coco, Yatsuhashi & Fox helping her to get up. He looks at the dead elite as he deactivates his energy sword.
Ruby and her friends were stunned to see him killing an elite that tries to kill her.
Ruby:" You killed him."
He places his on her shoulder and said.
Arkkor:" There are times that killing is the only way to save anyone lives."
He went to his others to gather the surviving covenant into custody. The atlas dropships came late and the hatch door open to see Ironwood, Winter, Jaune family and some AKs & Atlas soldiers. They see UNSC and SA are already taking care of it. Jaune's family looks at dead bodies that make them sick. Ironwood goes to a police officer and said.
Ironwood:" Officer, are th-"
Vale Policeman:" Sorry sir. But I have to talk to the UNSC leader."
He walked pass by him while he was stunned for what he just said. Jaune is talking to Johnson when he notices a police officer came to him.
Jaune:" Yes?"
Police officer:" Um, thank you for saving the people from them. If guys aren't here they would be killed by now."
Jaune:" There's no need for that. We must protect the people we truly care about. Now, are there injuries or casualties?"
Police officer:" I have 3 men injured but no casualties, sir."
He relieved that no one died in the Vytal Festival.
Jaune:" Good. You guys will help us to find remaining covenant around here."
Police officer:" Yes sir!"
He salutes him as he joins his others. Jaune's siblings saw him and went to him.
Jaune sisters:" Big brother!"
Jaune:" Hey sis-"
They immediately tackle him with their hugs. The soldiers avoid laughing to see him suffocate by her sisters. Johnson can't help but laugh to see him coming.
They let their brother go as they stand up. Jaune notices that his mom & dad are here too except he put his arm crossed like he does not impress him. Jaune gives an angry stare at his father for disowned him. He looks at Ironwood and said.
Jaune:" Ironwood, why is he here."
Ironwood:" Well, since you come back from your disappearance I think I'll bring your family to know you're alive."
Mr. Arc:" Yeah. Except me, son."
Jaune:" I knew that you didn't miss me when I'm gone in this world."
Hellwolf and his friends notice his actual father is here and not happy to his son so they went to them.
Mr. Arc:" I don't know why my wife and your sisters didn't tell me that you are a leader of so-called UNSC."
Jaune:" You better watch your damn mouth, Mr. Arc."
Mr. Arc:" I'm your father! You should respe-"
As he said, Johnson is pissed on him for saying his leader and a friend. He upper-punch him onto his head. Everyone is shocked to see it except UNSC & SA 'cause he's the one who disowned his son.
He landed on the ground & Johnson said.
Johnson:" Never say that to our leader and our friend.
Mr. Arc:" Grr... You dare to-"
Mrs. Arc:" Enough! You and I talk somewhere in private."
She said as she drags him to a different place to talk. He orders 2 men to follow them for their safety.
Violet:" Sorry big brother, he just shocked that you're alive and he was angry that we didn't tell him."
Jaune:" Don't worry, it's not your fault anyway."
Pyrrha:" So Jaune, how are you?"
Jaune:" Fine. I'm just shocked to hear that covenant are here and attack Vale."
Ironwood:" Maybe we should make an ally. In exchange for sharing your weapons."
Jaune:" Nice try, general. But I'm not a fool here."
Ironwood:" But, our weapons can't affect them with their superior weapons and technology. They will destroy Atlas and other kingdoms."
Johnson:" Then we'll do it ourselves. We fought so many bloody wars in the galaxy. You just fought on this planet only so don't expect to come and take our stuff. Got it."
He was about to protest but he sighed of defeat and went to the dropship. Winter went to him and said.
Winter:" Look, what did I say about back at Atlas is stupidity of mine."
Johnson:" Heh. Well, I can forgive you that but we still don't trust you and your government."
Winter:" What. Why?"
Hellwolf team came to them when Winter notices it and Hellwolf said to her.
Hellwolf:" You know why we don't trust them that support your father company. You schnee just bring ruin to faunus lives."
Winter:" What! That's not a reason that we schnee do that. I join Atlas so I get away from him."
Hellwolf:" Then why didn't you stop him."
They going to have an argue each other when Jaune breaks them off a fight.
Jaune:" Alright, stop fighting each other and forget it okay."
They both calm down. Weiss went to her sister.
Weiss:" Hey sis, guess you already met them."
Winter:" Yes. But they don't trust me and Atlas for supporting our father company."
Weiss:" I see. Guess I have the same reason as you too."
Winter:" Right. Anyway, I'll be going then. Farewell."
She went to Ironwood dropship as it went back to Atlas. After they clear up the attack of the Vytal Festival, Jaune & Johnson decided to stay for a while to hang out with his friends. He also orders them to find their camp & outpost and eliminate them before they started to attack.
Covenant camp POV
Prophet of Judgement:" What!"
Gork'Laok:" It's true, noble prophet. The natives of humans & hybrid humans live here and UNSC humans and the heretics are here on this planet."
Prophet of Judgement:" It must've gone to the same portal as we enter it. Gork'Laok, I want you to prepare to set up the base at your outpost. I'll send more troops to aid for your mission. Go and start with native bases to attack. There, we will take their resources and use them against them."
Gork'Laok:" Yes, noble prophet. I won't fail you."
Prophet of Judgement:" I know you won't fail. Let the light of covenant guide you in battle."
He said as a hologram went off. Gork'Laok needs to learn more about this planet. He calls the outpost to set up the base to prepare for an attack. One of the silent shadow that has a scar on right eye named Lak'Raok, enter his tent to see him.
Lak'Raok:" Sir, we should set up a shield around the camp to prevent those dark creatures to attack us out of nowhere.
Gork'Laok:" Very well. Make sure those creatures are dead when coming here, including our enemies."
Lak'Raok:" Yes sir."
He went out of his tent. Gork'Laok felt hatred to see a bunch of humans and heretics are here in the native planet. He grabs his energy sword and activate it. He looks at it and said.
Gork'Laok:" Someday, You will never save your precious human that beside you."
