Rakath V'keelaii 2538
How sad a sight this was. Rakath thought to himself as he flew through the ruins of the human city, his Phantom hidden by a cloaking generator. It was a scout vehicle, and he was simply checking things. He knew eventually he would take his Heretic's here in force and drag the Covenant off this rock for the humans.
But he remembered this planet. It used to be bright and green. Now it was dark and black. Its cities lights extinguished. Any survivors had either starved out, executed, evacuated, or ran to the woods that stood on some parts of the planet still. His orange eyes glided over the deadly quiet. The Covenant had occupied this system, but this planet laid barren... Quiet... It gace him time to think, of those he had lost in the war so far.
Roma was kidnapped, her was looking for her non-stop. Renmee... Kallmee... And then, there was MimYap. He had been reported Missing in Action on Kholo, and Rakath had almost lost hope. But he had to keep it up, had to keep fighting.
And then a slight ping came up on his radar and Rakath perked up.
The ping came again and it was identified as a distress cal. Not human... No this was on Heretic Channels. Rakath's eyes widened and he changed course towards it. There he could make out a cave, a small box-like communications device laying outside.
Pulling the Phantom in for a landing, quietly, a bout a mile back from the cave, in the forest, Rakath leaped out and activated his active camo. For all he knew this could be a Covenant trap. Drawing his Revolver and taking off in a jog until he came to the cliff face itself and moved along the stone, shutting off his camo and letting his pitch black Ultra armor do the camouflage for him as he moved, he came up on the hill to the cave and took a moment before climbing up, taking a Plasma Rifle in one hand and putting his back to the outside of the cave, waiting to hear movement.

MimYap 2538 Snuffling began to echo from the cave, followed by a shushing and the slight squee of some one being hidden. the sangheili would not be alerted to the presence of a living thing around the corner until he saw the shot gun jammed out of the entrance and fired at the brush in front. MimYap had been expecting trouble, but not to be grabbed by the neck ad have a blade swung near his throat. Instinct took over and he brought his blade to bear, stopping the other blade mid swing. He would have attacked more but the grip of the larger creature held him as he began to spew curses from around the odd mouth piece he wore. "Stupid fucking erg, sangheili!" he grunted and suddenly stopped moving, his good eye going wide at the site of the sangheili. "Rakath? you sun of a bitch!" he said kicking him hard in the chest piece "Scared me to death!" he cried flailing harder, but turning his blade off. The unggoy was now very muscular from his new regiment of living off the land. instead of the usual combat harness he had a large tank on his back with a poorly made breather stuck in his mouth. He now wore an eye patch over the eye that had been gouged out, and had some sort of red war paint over the other. On his chest piece two bloody sangheili hand prints rested, permanitly staining him. He also wore a bandoleer of grenades on him, and a SMG and plasma rifle on his back. He looked up at the sangheili, who had finally dropped him, walking forward he hugged the great creatures shins and waved out the other occupants of the cave. From the cave came a slightly round LumLum and a small clutch of young Unggoy, all fitted with the same sort of set up as mimYap. "This my family! YugJun YumHo KiKi and Strough,jessica." he said proudly picking each up and showing them to the tall creature.

Rakath V'keelaii
A shotgun barrel to the face, what a greeting. And then a shot blade fight only to find himself holding familiar friend by the neck. But just to mess with him, feeling th Shangheili equivalent on a smirk on his face he brought his single lit Dagger up and brought it a few inches away form MimYap's face before turning it off and dropping him, taking a step back and looking at te small life form in front of him, reaching up to remove his helmet and trace his hand over his scarred head.
"MimYap... I thought you were dead." Rakath said in a tired voice, he had been skipping sleep to commit his time to battle plans. Reaching up, he rubbed his eyes and blinked, looking over at the differences of MimYap, and then inside the cave, having to duck his head a bit as he walked in to see the family, a bundle of young Unggoy and a female, it made him smirk, giving a bow with his arms in an X over his chest. "They look like you MimYap. I'm sure if Roma were here she would love to see them but...." Rakath trailed off and closed his eyes.
"So, MimYap. What would it take to get my best Soldier back?"

MimYap "Nope, not yet!" he replied as the large creature went into the cave. He saw that his old friend was tired, and the way he spoke of Roma, it worried MimYap. but he pushed that aside when Rakath asked what it would take to get him back. "Hmmm" he said, rubbing his chin in mock thought "Well, i do have a family now, with more on the way..." he looked up at Rakath, the look joking light leaving his eye "I need you to hide them, hide them where the covenant can't find them, and I will help you." he said patting his friend on the shin. He exhaled a long sigh, the methane visible against the air of the cave. "But, you speak ill of Roma, please, my friend, explain?" he wanted to know if she was alive, if she was he could help, and that's all he wanted to do to help his friend.

Rakath V'keelaii
"I have the perfect place to hide them MimYap... I think you might Remember Templars Rest. Its well protected and the Covenant, I dont think, Dare to want to go there after we found a picture of a Forerunner. It is well fortified, and me being one of the..." He stopped and sighed mockingly "Top politicians there... I can get you all into luxary housing in the Palace behind thick walls of metal and our Honor Guard."
A few second later, Rakath reached back to his belt and pulled out a handful of Dog Tags he had taken form dead human soldiers. It was meant to be respectful, and he knew how MimYap liked them. "I knew you liked collecting these, I have been collecting them because of a strange human ritual to respect the dead by taking them as good luck charms. They have not been much help to me."
After a moment he took a seat on the ground and stopped when he asked of Roma.
"My old pupil, Til Muramai, he kidnapped Roma on Templars Rest, and after you vanished, the Shadow of Faith picked up a distress call from her signal. IT was too perfect, I had thought I was going to regain my daughter after thinking her dead... But I was wrong. So I took my Moonbeast and took of without telling Phma, or taking support.. .How stupid I was. I cut thorugh the defenses along, and went inside when they opened the doors, only to find Roma waiting for me." Rakath stopped and looked away.
"But she wasn't herself. she wore the V'keelaii Ceremonial Armor, wielded the legendary weapons of my Clan, and attacked me. Roma was once defenseless and untrained, but she fought with skills on par to the highest of Zealots I have seen. And she wounded me. So I had to retreat back to the Faith, and inform the others. I know Roma is there somewhere, its a fatherly hunch, but... I do not know what to do. The Covenant have finally found the perfect weapon to use against me."
Rakath stood again and moved out of the cave, reaching in to his pack and drawing a small green box. Pushing it open with his large thumb, he pulled out what looked like a thick brown paper stick, and then a large lighter that let off a dark red flame. Rakath was smoking a Human "Cigar", holding it in his inner mouth between two mandibles before turning back to MimYap.
"Oh and, yes, we have started picking up many more Human habits... Phma inspired the troops to do so on a speec about how Coffee changed his life."

MimYap
MimYap sat quietly, holding Strough,Jessica in his lap as his old friend spoke of losing his daughter. MimYap instinctively held Strough,Jessica a little closer.
When his friend pulled the shiny strips from a pouch mimYap almost dropped his child, standing to take them with wide eyes. Instead of tucking them into his pouch, which he no longer had, he placed them around his neck, the metal jangling.
He looked up at his old friend as he began to smoke a human cigar. MimYap laughed.
"Well my old friend it seems that we all will soon be like the humans." he said patting the other warriors knee, the only thing he could reach.
"Well it seems that I can trust that my family is safe, so of course i will proceed to fight covenant with you." he said, gently touching LumLum's shoulder and looking over to his friend.
