Corrupted turmiols

[Trooper]

Jadarus, prisoner
Doomed to death
A surprise...

The great white ape glared at the vibrant blue screen that cut him from the world. As if suspended in a dream he couldn't interact with the world. He watched yet another Sangheili guard pass him.

"Sangheili, when is it time to be fed?" He asked. The Sangheili's eyes momentarily glanced over the great white ape. His mandibles curled into a snarl.


"A mongrel that is damned to his own death under my masters. Why would we feed the likes of you?" The guard antagonized.

" I swear by the heigherarchs I had no part in the death of that Honorable warrior." The ape spoke his broken jaw flapping at the words his mind had played.

"A bastard's wit as a trick only accepted by the weak of mind. I will not be so easily deceived. You killed my former brother in arms and have his skull mounted outside your little cave." The guard cursed.

"I have no cave to call home you prideful sludge!" Jadarus said his fury getting the better of him. He reeled back and smashed his large mits against the energy shielding that protected the guard form his wrath.


"Just like the beast you truly are. To fly into a rage at the slightest little prod. I hope you die in agony, mongrel." The guard said before turning away and marching forth as he had been before the interruption.

"Do not listen to the minor. He knows not what he claims." Came a deep voice from the next cell.

"And what would you know?" Asked the Jiralhanea as he began to let his fur flatten.

"I know more than you brother dearest." Came the voice again.

"Silence!" Screeched a new voice. Jadarus the white beast could hear the clambering of an aged warrior collapse and rise from the metallic floor. A warrior clad in the armor of a Sangheili major stopped before the cells. He pressed his hand into the locking system and the cell opened up. Jadarus knew well the strength of a Sangheili major and wouldn't challenge the far more experienced soldier.

"Beast, the heirarchs demand a sacrifice of you. Proof has been uncovered that resents your story. The newly accused is also Jiralhanea and so the heigherarchs deem you shall settle your debts the way you do on your confounded home world." Said the major as he stepped to the side, an Unggoy carried in a pair of energy binders. The restraints Jadarus had to wear during his original sentence. Jadarus put his arms together only hissing once they had pinched his fur in their electric grip.

"Let us depart at your leisure." Jadarus said as he stalked forward his hands bound as to restrict his ability to fight. He felt the four digits of the elite press his shoulder forward and Jadarus stalked down the narrow halls catching glimpses of Sangheili, Unggoy, Kig-yar, and Jiralhanea in cells like the one he had departed. The halls were long and haunted by the screams of dying and insane criminals. Jadarus grunted as he reached the elevator and felt his restraints be removed.

"Fight well, earn the respect of the Higherarchs and be freed of this place." The Major said as the elevator began to ascend into the unknown.

Jadarus stood his eyes fully open as the brighter lights began to trickle down. They blinded him for a moment and he put his hand up to block the excess flooding his field of view. He heard the roar of a collected crowd and knew he was in an arena before he stepped out onto the sandy platform that the elevator had stopped at. He looked up to see a minor prophet sitting in a booth, while Jiralhanea, roared from stands or floating platforms, the youngest fighting for spots near the front, while older Jiralhanea took spots that remained uncontested. He spotted his brother Brachus Sitting closest and his heart lurched as if hit by a gravity hammer used by the chieftains. That was until he lay eyes upon his opponent. The shorter tawny furred creature that glared at him his eyes yellowed and scratched from days deprived of light. He knew the other Jiralhanea well, and pondered what he had done to end up here in this arena, against his own brother. The prophet hovered forward and the roar of the crowd halted. The two gladiators looked up at him as eh began to speak.

"Warriors of the covenant, today tow of your kind stand accused of the murder of a Sangheili of a higher court. As vice minister to the ministry of Relative Reconciliation, I have granted this combat to decide who truly is guilty of the crime. If the white Jiralhanea is truly guilty he will be killed by his sibling, however if he is truly free of blame he shall cast aside his kinship and defeated the other he shall be free to return to duty. The battle may commence!" Said the prophet his judgement echoed around the arena. Once he had turned his sight from the arena= the roars of the Jiralhanea filled the area yet again. Jadarus stalked forward his larger figure easily over powering the smaller of the duo. He walked over and stood glaring down into the eyes of his brother.

"Brother they say I'm guilty of killing a Sangheili. You know I couldn't do such things, right?" The smaller one chided.

"I understand I am also accused of this gruesome crime. I would never murder my brother in arms. I will remain prisoner, I know you won't last in there not the way they treated me." Jadarus said crossing his arms over his chest looking like he was giving the smaller Jiralhanea the chance to surrender. The smaller ape like creature roared and charged his brother who fell with practiced ease. Jadraus roared and pretended to fight back until he was put into a fake submission.

"I see the larger one has given up. Guards collect him." Said the Snagheili that had collected Jadarus from his prison. The smaller Jiralhanea began laughing in a mocking way and Jadarus looked at him wondering why he was laughing.

"You idiot. You gave me my freedom, even though I was the one who did it." The smaller brute said taking pride in his kill. Jadarus glared at his brother until he spotted a Sangheili hand reaching for him. Jadarus pushed the Sangheili away and hopped to his feat. Full of his energy at it's peak.

"Murderer!!" He roared as he charged the still laughing murderer.
