Oiruta, a planet that is a bit bigger than Lostrus. It had 3 moons and it orbited a young red star. The space above the planet warped and twisted and 4 Nypherian Battleships appeared above the planet. Just following the ships the Cybernetics squad appeared just under the Battleships. The size of those ships loomed over the 2 smaller ships as fighters flew out of the Battleships and went towards the planet. The cybernetics followed and entered the atmosphere. Warning sights popped up on the radar telling the Nypherians of very high levels of oxygen. Thus could be poisonous to Organics that aren't use to such high volumes of Oxygen.

The Nypherians didn't worry as they don't breath. As the fighters began scanning the world. The Battleships began harvesting the space debry along with rock from the oceans. There, they focused their matter that they're collecting to a certain spot above the planet and began to create a very large space station. One of equal size to Vermire.

The cybernetics landed and began to test readings on the planet, along with planet life. They worked without complaining or whining. All of it was for the good of the Nypherians. A message popped up on their servers that the Heaven Kingdom had been wiped out. They all stopped and looked at each other. They knew it was coming but they also wondered if the Demons would accept their non aggression pact.

They knew or expected the UNSC to accept to avoid war or the possibility of a two front war of diplomatic options had failed.

Dumont's ship exited warp seconds after the cybernetics, turning up to cruise gently behind them. During the warp time he had equipped himself with the armor in the back along with a rifle and pistol. They were nothing fancy but still a generous gift from the strange beings. Nevertheless his monitor blinked with the warning of high oxygen. It seemed he'd be needing a mask for this planet.

The ship landed beside the cybernetics, but William didn't disembark until he'd securely fitted his breathing mask. Once safe he then approached the others, examining what they were doing on their equipment. He felt partially useless in their scientific endeavor, so instead assigned himself to watching out for any trouble. He didn't even know if this planet had anything dangerous on, but it was something for him to do.

The Nypherians had begun to completely scan the planet. More large cruisers warped around the planet to gain further control over the system. The cybernetics squad did their thing as Theta or the newly discovered female walked over to William. She checked his breathing mask and gear.

" sorry with the limited technology. We don't entirely trust you, hence why we gave you UNSC technology. Your ballistic weapons don't hurt us but your energy base weapons can do some damage but not a lot. Only the Asmodians have perfected a way to kill our bodies."

She said as she checked to see everything was green on the board. She nodded her head and waved for him to follow.

" to get you up to speed. You have a choice. You may continue to follow us but you're going to have to be honest with us. At this moment we're not connected to the UNSC servers and can't leech data. We can send a probe ship to sniff data but at this moment the area is getting volatile. The skuffers or Demons  are planning something and war is coming. We want you to tell us what you know. I'm aware it's a bit rude to straight up ask you but to this moment we're not going to rely on Seyfer to tell us things.

We want to know if they're any Facists we need to know about. I been watching your facial expressions and i can tell there is a lot on your mind. Sure, it could be the shock of meeting our species but I feel it could be something else."

She said as she rested her gun on her shoulder and walked with William.

"I understand," William nodded, glancing down at the UNSC equipment on him. If anything he preferred that it was a familiar kind of tech he could use rather than weapons he'd probably end up blowing himself up with. At the woman's gesture he followed, walking slowly alongside.

"Facists?" He repeated with an arched eyebrow, thinking for a moment as he examined the Nypherian. It took him a few seconds to think of what to say but he eventually replied. "The UNSC is, or was, everything for me. I held my faith and pride in them for decades. Yeah they have their problems but they stand for the unity of humanity." His speech seemed to be to convince himself of humanity's innocence rather than the alien.

"However a part of them, a small intelligence divison called 'ONI'..." He trailed off for a second before snapping back into the conversation. "They're killing Supernaturals, anyone who isn't fully human or who can use magic. Anyone who supports them too, which is why I was targeted. They work in secrecy and cover up everything in red tape, but they need to be stopped before more innocents get hurt."

"I want to go back and help but they'll know me instantly. It's down to my friends, the Supernaturals, to win..." As he explained it all a sudden sadness came over him, evident in his eyes now looking at the ground while they walked.

The cybernetics glanced at each other. Theta held no emotional response and kept on walking. " indeed, we found some information regarding their name when we hacked into their data servers. We had found many indications that would consider them facists.  We told our people about them and what we found. Most civilians don't like them but hate the Demons more. They call them Skuffers or Muck Walkers. Derogatory words of course but even if we don't like them. We're seeking a non aggression pact. With both sides."

She said as she held a certain device that gave her readings of the surrounding area. She walked over to one of her comrades and communicated through mental code. The rest of the cybernetics stopped and all looked at Theta, then all split up and walked off. She placed the device back into her pack.

" our message will soon reach both kingdoms. If you need to go home. We will take you home but we also need to make that non aggression  pack with the humans and the Demons. Even if we hold a negative opinion with both. The rest of the Nypherian forces can do the job. We can take you home and we will protect you till the point that you meet your friends and an agreement is made with your Government. You're also welcome to follow us to Demonic territory. " She said as she crossed her arms and looked up at the Battle cruisers floating in the atmosphere.

"Non aggression with demons? You realise there's no chance of that?" Dumont looked to the being, confused to how they could even think demons were capable of peace. "Have you ever seen the demons? Their crusade? We've fought them before many times and not once have they surrendered. Even after destroying their homeworld they recovered to fight again." There was a passion in his voice, as if he were pleading for them to not even try.

"The UNSC will agree, and I'll accompany for that if you need, but the Demon's will attack you on sight." He sighed. "I'll come for that too, if you can prepare enough defensive precautions for the trip."

Theta just let him finish his speech.  She had zero interest in debating Nypherian reason as to why they wanted a non aggression act. Though, the idea of him accompanying them to the Demonic home world was amusing at first.

" Very well. If you would like to accompany our people to both the UNSC and the Demons. We can do it now. Readings on the planet are done and the other Nypherians can do the job without us. Since, we need to speed things along as we have other plans in motion. We will head to Earth now. "

Theta said as she removed a scanning device from her hands back to her ship. The rest of the cybernetics also stopped what they're doing and walked back to the ship. It was quite obvious, the Nypherians had something up their sleeve and weren't revealing it. They seem confident yet uncaring of what happens or could possibly happen. Like they were expecting things to go south or really not caring if they did.

"Now?" William stopped to look around. It was then he remembered it wouldn't take long for a species as advanced as the Nypherians to establish a presence on planet. "Very well." He spoke with suspicion, narrowing his eyes as he examined the others. Cautiously he moved towards the ship with them, trying to wrap his head around why the cared so much for impossible non-aggression pacts.

He could tell they were hiding something, either that or they were truely naive enough to believe the Demons might agree to peace. Dumont knew it was impossible though. He'd seen and fought Demons in the flesh.

These Nypherians had no idea it seemed.

They got onto their respective ships but opened up a channel. " we won't arrive through small ships. By Nypherian law, we must reveal ourselves completely. We're going to travel with the Battle Cruiser. " Theta said through the com channel. The ships flew from the planet and a Battle Cruiser warped right above them. Docking on the ship, they waited. They didn't leave their ships as the Nypherians didn't breath, so leaving would require a mask. The very large ship slowly drifted to the left as it pointed in the direction of the Earth.

The engines slowly warmed up as the sound could be heard. Then, in a sudden crack the ship was in warp.

At Earth. The space began to twist and warp. The UNSC technology could detect the anomaly but not why it was happening. The ship left warp as it appeared above Earth with a very loud crack. A very loud humming emmited from the ship as its shields turned on for safety reasons.

The com channel had turned on in Williams ship. " I'll join you in your ship. Since seeing their technology leaving the ship won't annoy them immediately and you will be doing the talking. I bet that they would be interested to see you again. "

Theta said over the com as she left her ship and the other cybernetics also followed her. As they entered the ship, the hangars opened.

" show time"

"Right..." William was skeptical about this law that left them straight open for attack. He wasn't concerned for the Nypherian's safety, moreso he was concerned that the UNSC would make a stupid move and attack; then get annihilated by the beings. Instead of voicing his concerns he remained quiet, waiting in his ship until the others entered. Once aboard and ready, he set off.

"Unregistered UNSC vessel, identify yourself." A transmission came in from the surface, UNSC Space Control. 
"This is Captain Dumont, ID3517, here to see the council." Dumont cast a worried glance aside, concerned how they would take the news of their dead captain returning.
"Captain... Dumont..." The voice on the radio stuttered. "Standby..." 

They waited for atleast a minute before the reply came.
"Proceed to London Central Docking Bay 1. The Council will meet you there." Dumont nodded and flicked off the radio, steering the ship down to the surface.

By the time they had arrived and docked a line of men and women dressed in formal uniforms all stood awaiting them. The ship's door opened to them, revealing the Nypherians within and shortly after the young Dumont as he disembarked.

"Councillors," He spoke first. "These are the Nypherians."
They exchanged worried and confused glances before the man at the head of the group spoke.
"What is your intent, Nypherians?"

Theta ignored the question at first. She walked out towards the edge and looked. It was Earth, she felt something deep down inside of her gut. She had never felt this before. The other cybernetics looked confused for a moment as they glanced back towards her. She just kept looking at Earth and the people moving about. She didn't know how to handle it at first. She shuffled a bit nervously and began to pace for only a bit and stopped.

" it's Earth. We haven't seen our home in a very long time. "

She said as the channel of the watching Nypherians were silent. She had almost forgot about the question as seeing their home once again had completely distracted them. She turned around and paused for only a second.

" we only want one thing. A non aggression pact. Not peace, as that would imply that we're friends. Even if you're fellow man. We have a few....rules on this non aggression act. To the Northern outer rim, that is where we are. Soon, you will receive messages from our station Vermire. It's simply a trading post welcoming everyone to trade. Now, these rules are simple. We will not attack you, we will not threaten you, we will never appear within your territories, and if we come into contact of people in need. We will help them and return them to you. "

She said as she turned back and looked at the blue sky. It was something she couldn't stop looking at, it was home.

The council exchanged more glances as the beings called Earth their 'home'. Some were worried that they meant to take it from them, but the mention of a non-aggression pact calmed them somewhat. It felt weird for some of them for the beings to refer to them as 'fellow men'. Nevertheless they listened and conversed before the man at their head spoke again.

"That sounds like a fair agreement, one we can surely honor." He nodded with his most confident voice. "There is one matter though. How is it that you have our deceased friend?" His head then turned to face William, who looked half as confused as he did.

"Backup clone, sir." William replied first, taking a deep breath. Part of him wanted so badly to spill what happened about his assassination and ONI, but he couldn't risk it. Any of these Councillors could be with ONI, if not all of them. He had to let his friends deal with ONI. "But I'm going with the Nypherians."

"Oh... I see..." The man seemed rather confused, but willing to accept either way. "Well, I look forward to our... non-aggression..." He smiled at the Nypherians, giving a nod to the hangar control men to allow their ship leave when they needed.

"Is that everything here?" Dumont walked back and spoke quietly to the Nypherian he knew.

" That was too easy. It was also noted they were upset we called them fellow man. If one had curiosity about that statement, any normal being would have asked. There is something else going on in the background. It could be your Oni friends."

Theta said as she turned to look at one of the cybernetics and she tapped her ear twice. The cybernetic nodded and he held up two fingers to his left ear.

" we will be on our way. Next stop is the Demonic Crusade. You would be wise to keep your gun holster and let me do the talking. I'm aware of the past history and I don't need to be shot at."

She said as she glared one more time in the direction of the council. She felt completely suspicious as to why they waved them off so quickly. She turned around and the cybernetics followed back to the ship but still keep their weapons at the ready. Once they entered the ship, the man that was holding his fingers on his left ear tapped the screen.

A large line of data then appears and it scrolls upwards. Theta leaned over and slowly started the ship as she watched the data.

" there's a few activities going on in the back ground. I have also found locations of people being held against their will.  Not to mention a small flag of possibility of your friends shenanigans. They're leaving a trail that's easy for us to follow but Oni are somewhat oblivious too. If you want to stay and help them. It's up to you. We, won't break our pact with Earth but we will be your escape if you need it."

She said as she slowly lifted the ship off the hangar docking bay. She hoped she hadn't raised suspicion. Hoping that everyone was still looking at the massive Battle Cruiser hovering over the city.

"Most likely," William nodded, glancing over to the council who were now leaving. A few of them were still giving him odd looks. "They won't broadcast my return though. Aslong as my friends can deal with them before they try any more cover-ups." He sighed, then turned when they spoke of the Demons. "I'm guessing we'll be taking a different ship when we get there? A UNSC ship might not be the way to make a pact."

Dumont followed onto the ship and waited for them to reach the cruiser.
"No, I believe in them. I can't risk what they're doing." He cast a glance down to the surface, but swallowed any temptation.
"Let's go see these demons."

The ship lifted off and flew towards the very large Nypherian cruiser. It entered it's hatch and the hatch Bay closed. The ship hovered for a bit and landed. Theta closed off the ships channels and opened the door to ship.

" we won't land on their home world with a UNSC ship. That would be silly. We will land on our ship." 

She said as she got up and walked out of the ship and the rest of the cybernetics followed suit. The large Nypherian cruiser slowly moved as it pointed in the direction of its destination. A sound emmited from the ship as its shields were turned off. A winding noise slowly come from the engines of the ship and with a loud crack that shook the ground, the ship entered warp.

It exited warp over the Demonic world. Oblivion was the world's name. As the group walked into the Nypherian custom ship. They followed protocol and the hangar door opened. As the ship slowly left the hangar.

" we took precautions over the possibility of them attacking us. This is our trump card. In a manner of speaking, it's us flexing our muscles."

She said as 40 Nypherian Battle Cruisers broke from warp and hovered all around the planet. It was a show of force as the single ship left the cruiser and entered the atmosphere. It landed on the ground nearby the local buildings or what looked like buildings to them. The ship turned off and Theta turned towards William.

" Stay here. I don't want to take the chance of them seeing a human and jumping to conclusions. I will go alone."

Theta said as she grabbed a hologram communication device with her. She grabbed her weapons and walked out of the ship. She walked in front of the ship and fired one flare into the sky and waited. She tossed the hologram communicator on the ground and continued to wait.

They are here.
The Void Walkers.
They come for us.
For peace?
Fools.


Moments passed without a sound after the flare. There seemed to be no reply at first. Suddenly however the ground began to shake and pieces of dirt would gather along it. Soon enough it seemed like a tornado was gathering before them, although it's top half began taking a horrific shape. Red hellish energy glowed within it's lungs, whilst large primal claws stretched out from it's hands. It's face contorted into a constant visage of rage and fury, fiery eyes now focused on the visitors.

Both gigantic hands slammed into the ground on either side, hitting nothing but flat earth. Now leaning in on these two arms Aboleth's face came down to their level. With him now looking at them closely, he spoke.

"What do you want?"

As the being emerged, Theta could only raise an eyebrow as she watched the being get bigger and bigger. As it leaned it...it spoke," what do you want".

The hologram communicator lit up and a being emmited from the device. Seyfer opened his eyes and looked up at the being. He narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Theta. No motioned his head towards the ship and Theta obeyed. She turned and walked back towards the ship. As she sat down in the pilots chair. She was a bit nervous but only nervous for how they're going to react in talking to Seyfer.


Seyfer finally sighed.

" I am the leader of the Nypherians. My name isn't important but we seek a Non Aggression Pact. Before you speak about peace. We don't want a peace as that would imply that we're on friendly terms. The pact only stands during the growing tensions of the upcoming war.

I'm also aware that your hatred isn't just for the UNSC but for others that you believe have wronged your kind. Not to mention your domination of the Kingdom of Heaven but for a new alliance that has just formed. Alliance of Kings. Sooner of later, they will strike at you. A 1 on 1, will turned into a 2 on 1. We are here to tell you that we will otherwise not get invovled.

If you are burning the UNSC to the ground and the Alliance. We will just watch. However, with this pact, we have term. You stay away from us and we stay away from you.

Do we have an agreement?"

Seyfer asked as he crossed his arms behind his back.

Demons were a wicked species, driven only by bloodlust and infernal rage. They cared not for politics or policies for they sought only for the galaxy to burn and kneel before their reign. This however did not mean they were mindless or foolish. The giant Archdemon lifted himself slightly, narrowing his eyes as he thought through his options. He knew if he did not agree to this pact it would become a 3 vs 1. This way he was minimizing his enemies, and maximizing his chances at crushing the Alliance and the UNSC.

"Very well,"
Aboleth spoke, looking at the small hologram intently.
"We shall honor this pact."
The Archdemon then rose to his full height, looking upwards seemingly at the cruisers in the sky.
"Just know you are not as powerful as you think."
His eyes looked down again.
"Now go, unless there is more you want from us."

Seyfer knew that the possibilities of a 3 on 1 could happen, only if the Demons attacked. He was about to turned the channel off until the Demonic made a comment. He paused and looked at him. He narrowed his eyes.

" Are you making that comment towards the Nypherians or I? The Nypherians are battle hardened. 1.4 Billion years of evolution and traveled between many universes to get to where they are. What I can do is of no concern to you. Nor will I make the assumption about the power of the Demonic Crusade. It's evident enough that you have the power and the right to existence because of your victory of the Heaven Kingdom.

I will respect your disposition and not make assumptions  abput your kind and you be wise to do the same for the Nypherians."

He raised his hand as the Nypherian ship lifted off the ground and flew up into the air. He snapped his fingers and the hologram program vanished into energy particles. As the Nypherian ship docked onto the cruiser. Everyone had gotten out. Theta and the rest of the cybernetics had sour looks on their face.

" Filthy Muck Walkers..."

Theta growled to herself as she got out of the ship and tossed her weapon against the wall. She never made the effort to pick it up as the other members of the team also had a sour look on their face. They hated being disrespected an they weren't going to forget it.

William watched what he could. The tornado, the formation of that... thing... All of it send chills right down his spine. Now it was all over and somehow they had obtained an agreement, they all seemed unhappy.
"What's up? You got the agreement didn't you?" He didn't quite understand what they were expecting from the Demons. Obviously they weren't going to be respectful.

Nevertheless they seemed sour enough to convince him it mattered, so now he just sat down.
"So what now?"

Theta said nothing towards William as her anger was getting the best of her. Her footsteps echoed in the ship as she stormed off in the hangar. Some of the cybernetics said nothing and walked off. Only one stayed behind.

" We don't like being disrespected. We have earned our right to be respected. Billion years of perfecting our craft. The Demons are fools for not acknowledging that there is always a bigger fish. Tensions are brewing and it could turn into a 3 on 1. However, we will honor the agreement Seyfer got for us.

For now, we are going back to Vermire to wait further orders. There is another fleet on its move to the Alliance of Kings. They will reach out for an non aggression pact. Then we will sit back and watch. The upcoming war doesn't invovle us nor does it interest us. You better get some sleep. The fleet will enter warp soon"

The man said as he nodded towards Williams as he walked off. The fleet hovered over the planet for only a second and ships began to vanish one by one. Jumping into warp as they headed towards home.

-End.-
