The sparkling blue abyss stirred as the reflection of the speeding craft passed over, pulling up the water and spraying it back about as the force of the engines smashed against the vast ocean that stretched across the horizon. Three Phantoms darted through the evening sky, keeping as low to the water as possible to avoid long range scans, jamming devices had also been installed on all three Phantoms.
An Elite stood from his seat inside the Phantom taking point, the heavy, silver armour glinting in the artificial light of the Phantom. Slowly, the Sangheili moved to the front of the craft and took a seat beside Anau, Sangheili surrounding them, they were almost there.
Razo was the one now seated, the new rank of Arbiter steadily weighed upon his shoulders, he was in charge of this operation, he had hand picked the squads that resided in each of the Phantoms. Razo wanted this operation to be quick and swift, the UNSC had taken the primary tower, which no doubt had the strongest defence of the three.
The Phantoms had almost reached their destonation, a few more minutes would do it.
Razo stood and held one of the bars that stretched from one side of the Phantom to the cockpit and steadied himself.
"Brothers! Prepare yourselves! This day the Brute home shall burn!" He shouted, pulling his Carbine up from the seat and allowing it to hang by his side as the Phantoms began their final approach.

(OoC: Hold on. We're still in March 2553. So unless the Elites picked a new Arbiter after Thel was missing for about a week, or there was some sort of time warp, Razo shouldn't be an Arbiter yet. )

The Elites forces were cramped together in the Phantom. The chamber reeked of plasma as each soldier checked their weapons. The air was heavy with the fear of new recruits and the wisdom of veterans.
Creathnach fit more into the latter group than the former, but he still felt fear. He turned around to face the six blue-clad warriors behind him. He began his instructions, "As soon as we get out go for cover. Whatever you do, don't get away from the group. Snipers, watch our backs, Needlers, get our sides, Rifleman, you watch the front with me. We'll try to pick as many as we can off when we first land, but the Phantom's weapons and the cavalry will clear out the outside of the tower, so conserve your ammo."
Just as he finished, the Phantom shoock and the engines whined. A call resounded from the cockpit that they had been hit in one of the engines. They weren't very far from the tower so they would perform an emergency landing and march forward. They'd join the other Elites, who would already be in combat.
Everything would work out fine.

Anau slouched forward and exhaled. After being with his thoughts, he reached down beside him and took up his helmet. He gazed inside it before placing it over his head. The Arbiter stood tall and confident in front of him, his words would have been encouraging, if he hadn't heard them many times before. As the Phantom approached the tower, he did what he usually did to pass time, he took up his plasma rifle and began opening and closing the exhaust flaps.

"Are you nervous or bored when you do that?" asked Zarra glancing over at Anau. She had been sitting quietly, holding on tightly to her beam rifle like she was worried it would try to escape. She wasn't used to being afraid, but a lot had changed since her last mission, and it had made her feel more uneasy than usual.

"A little of both," Anau replied with a smile, not that she would have seen it. "It distracts me," he added with a chuckle. He opened and closed the flaps one last time and prepared himself, mentally.

Razo looked across the compartment containing the various Sangheili soldiers, all mumbling in short conversation to one another or examining their weapons, all aware they may not return from this mission alive.
The gaze of one of the pilots caught Razo's attention, followed by a nod to indicate they had reached their destination.
Razo pulled his carbine up and balanced it in his hands, turning to view the strike force seated around the Phantom whilst placing his helmet over his head as he did so.
"We will be dropping a few streets away from the Tower and making our way through the city on foot. This operation is to be carried out swiftly and silently if possible, do not hesitate in engaging the enemy once inside the tower," Razo began, noticing the Phantom's sudden descent.
"Strike teams two and three will be assaulting the tower from strategic positions, our objective is the shield generator deep within the structure."
The Phantom came to a halt in a street a few blocks from the tower, enough distance was between the landing zone and the tower to ensure they would not be detected.
Razo made his way through the Phantom and came to the gravity lift in the centre as it activated, sending a blue beam downwards to the ground below. He instantly moved into the beam, drifting quickly down to the surface of the planet and raising his Carbine to check the area, Elites flooding down the gravity lift shortly after. The landing zone was clear, as far as Razo could tell, they shouldn't have any trouble reaching the tower.

Zarra moved into the shadow of a building as soon as she reached the ground, then looked around carefully for enemies. When she didn't catch sight of any she relaxed a little, but remained alert, waiting for orders.

After Anau had descended softly, he moved into the cover of an alleyway which two other Elites had done. He too then waited for orders.

OOC/ I'm a little late, but I'm going to RP my Zealot, k?))
BIC/
Zaku 'Vudem stepped out of his Phantom's open bay door. He was one of the last down, because of some difficulties in the hangar. The dark brown-skinned Sangheili stepped out, his golden armor reflecting the light. He carried a Carbine on his back, and two plasma rifles and a plasma sword on his waist. Zaku growled to the twelve Elites behind him, "Hara, Yazu- you and your squads follow me. Kagga, get on top of that house, and follow us on the rooves. Your beam rifle won't help you in the streets."
He turned to the black-armored Stealth Elite next to him. "And Maru, you scout ahead. Don't kill anyone unless you have to- that'll just give away your postition."
As the two Sangheili scurried to their respective duties, Zaku pulled his two plasma rifles off his waist. He spoke to the two Elite Majors and their troops behind him. "Let's go blow that tower."

He grabbed up his needlers and walked forward. *** Tuka crept forward his sword firm in hand even though they could not see him he some may have the hearing to hear his footsteps he continued creeping forward towards the tower.

Orders still had not been given, but Zarra knew what hers would probably be. She studied the rooftops wondering if they would be close enough together here for her to have the better position, and at the same time be able to safely keep up with the rest of the group. She nodded to herself, then glanced over at Anau with a smile. "I'll watch out for you," she said quietly, then started toward the fire escape on the side of the nearest building.

The Ship Master heard a quiet beep. He tapped the side of his helmet, activating the communications system. He heard the Fleet Master.
"Ship Master 'Vudem, you are to link up with Razo at the Tower. He's in charge- don't use him as bait for the enemy," the Fleet Master said.
Zaku smiled. The tactics that had promoted him to his current rank were forbidden for this battle. He turned to the white and silver-armored Sangheili next to him.
"Councilor, we are to meet up with another group at the tower base... I hope you are prepared for battle."

" Yes I am ready to fight and end our vendetta against the Brutes" said Katar. " Lead on Shipmaster as this will be your fight I am merely an arm of the council sent to supervise ground forces" said Katar. (OoC two things 1) Katar will not be used as much as he is old and he shouldn't be fighting as much so I will be using a Major as well and maby Inwa )

The gold-armored Zealot nodded. "Do you wish to stay in the Drop ship? I can leave a Minor from each squad with you, and it will circle the battlefield. I believe that could be wise."
Zaku turned away temporarily, listening to an instruction over his comm unit. "Ah, one second Councilor."
He activated his comlink, signaling all the Sangheili in the city. "Attention. All Sangheili, converge on the city square. We'll continue on to the tower from there in a group."
