The ShipMaster was hovering over the hologram of stats on the situation on the planet and also on the CCS BattleCruiser.

"Your holiness... we have our ship, but most of the others are taken over by the brutes." Cutan said to the Junior Minister. Rezo held his chin as he observed the holy ring with Cutan and breathed slowly.

"Ummmm... Is there a way good path to escape?" He asked while looking back at Teio.

"Yes, But losing this position right now would mean we would be leaving a lot of my men down there and be slaughtered by the brutes." Rezo couldn't help but think about the situation that they're in if they leave now, the Elites and other allies could be killed off like flies, but if the ship where stay, they would be killed and the ship would be taken over, This has to be difficult... Especially with Roa and Kul still down there… The ShipMaster paused, then stated.

"The Brute and Kul have been found. They're on the ship now... I thought I would keep an eye out for them for you." He looked over at Rezo and "smiled." Rezo flinched in shock before he looks to Teio and smiles with tears in his eyes.

"Let's go to them! Can't wait to see them again!" The Prophet shouted as he dashes to the bridge's door.

"I must stay, but I'll have that guard take you down there." Cutan waved his hand, and Teio came forth and followed Rezo with an easy jog. It took some time for Rezo and the elite to return to the bay of the battlecruiser, and from there they could see the phantom Kul and Roakta are currently residing.

"That must be them!" He said while looking at Teio with a happiness filled smile; another phantom came around the cruiser as well, must be another transport holding troops! Teio stiffened up when he saw his sister.

"It... it is!" He took one step before stopping. He looked over his shoulder at Rezo.

"May I?"

The Prophet smiled and nodded.

"Of course!" He said while he and the elite ran up to meet Kul and Roakta.

"Roa! Kul! You're back!" He shouted as he hugged the Jiralhanae woman who recovered nicely from her leg wound and such. Kul looked over at Rezo from her floating cot.

"Your holiness... we fought to the end to get back to-" she realized she had to hide the fact they were lovers.

"To see to it that you were safe." Rezo nodded before he starts hugging Kul as well as burying his head to The elite's neck.

"Oh Kul, it's alright. I was worried sick about you and Roakta!" The San'shyuum said while he cried in happiness. He looked back and Roa to see if she would join in on the hug with him.

Roa paused before joining the two in an embrace.

"We wouldn't die. For your-" The female chieftain was then interrupted by Teio yelling Kul's name.

"Sister, are you alright?!" Kul looked over at the male elite, and her eyes widened.

"Teio... is that really you?" She let go of Rezo and sat up. Rezo steps back and smiles at the two elites finally meeting once again. The Prophet looks at a phantom and sees it's opening its dropship doors. The two embraces, but then the two of them noticed the Phantom.

The phantom opens up to reveal an older San'shyuum wearing a greyish red pair of cloaks along with a couple of Jiralhanae bodyguards by his side, armed with brute shots.

"D-dad?" Rezo paused in fear as he realizes his father is back to get him personally.

"Rezo'Faldo! Why are you on this ship!?" The old man Prophet yelled as he sits in a gravity throne which floats closer to the group. Roa and Teio quickly guard Rezo. Kul tried to get up, but the medics keep her down. Other elites start to aim their guns at Rezo's father's guards.

"Hold on! Don't shoot!" Rezo shouted while thrusting his arm at the other elites. The old prophet hummed as he gets closer, despite Roa and Teio guarding his son against him.

"Son... I suggest we go home; the great journey awaits us very soon." The Prophet told Rezo while crossing his hands together and looks down at his son. The Junior Minister looked to Kul in worry. Kul growled and pushed the medics off of her. Roa bared her teeth, and the two women stood between the two san'shyuums. "I won't allow that to happen, False Prophet." Kul glared at Rezo's father. Rezo looked to Kul and saw she's struggling to stand up good, the junior minister worried for the future of his lovers.

"False Prophet? FALSE PROPHET!? I would have you know, I have been ordered your kind before you were even born! If you do not stand out of my way, my guards will make quick work of you and you, will not stand a chance!" The prophet elder yelled at the defiant Sangheili and Jiralhanae standing in front of him.

"It doesn't matter how long you've ordered my species around. Your council has ordered our extinction after years of our proud loyalty! And if your guards move a bit, I'll have-" Kul was cut off but the Ship Master. "You have made your point Kul," he walked over with bold strides, "now for me to ask why you have boarded MY ship...holiness..." he sneered out "holiness."

"Isn't it obvious? I want my son, who I OWN by the way!" The senior prophet pointed to his younger son, Rezo kept his feet planted as his father directed his attention to him.

"Come on boy; we're going home, NOW!" The old San'shyuum shouted as the guards beside him kept their brute shots aimed at the other elites. Rezo looked to both Kul Geta and Roakta. This time, however, he wouldn't just do his father's word, not now!

"Sorry father, but I can't. I need to be with my new friends." The Junior Minister said in defiance as the older San'shyuum gritted his teeth in anger, pointing to his son.

"You better come to me; you are my property!" Shouted the old Prophet as Cutan steps in front of Rezo. The Ship Master raised a brow.

"You own him? I doubt that... you only have him twisted around your finger mentally. But you don't realize that I was the one that said that this ship was under brute control. That allowed you to think that it was safe to board... I got you in the palm of my hand. You're not leaving this ship dead or alive..."Rezo's father chuckled, as he crosses his arms around his chest.

"Really? Did YOU forget that your ship is surrounded by ships order by our people's new guards? Hell, I can give the order to blow up this ship without a second thought, and we all perish... Unless Rezo comes home..." The older prophet chuckled as he turns on a console on his gravity chair which would let the other ships know to fire at Cutan's ship, killing them all.

Rezo's eyes widen as he heard about his father's plan,

"Are you sure you want to die with us all?" The prophet asked before the shipmaster could answer, Rezo steps forward in front of his father.

"They shouldn't die, I'll come with you... As long as they can leave without any interference..." He young San'shyuum bargained while looking back at Kul, Teio, and Roakta.

Roa roared. "You coward! Hiding behind my people that you have brainwashed-" Kul held Roa's shoulder. The female brute looked at Kul, then at the shipmaster.

"I would not call him as much of a coward like most of his kind Roakta... I did not expect he would kill himself to win..." he glared at the san'shyuum. The old prophet chuckled as he gripped Rezo's shoulder.

"Well, I have thick skin, so I'll let that slide by, but for now, it's time to return home, son." Rezo's father stated while turning back to the phantom they entered in. Rezo looked back at Kul and Roakta, tears welling in his eyes as he walked with his father and his bodyguards...

"Bye, Roa... Bye, Kul... I... I love you both..." He softly stated which got a disgusted look from his father when he heard, who then shakes his head as he and the young San'shyuum enter the phantom to head off back to High Charity...

Kul's legs gave in, tears welling in her eyes. Roa, on the other hand, roared, tears already dripping down her face.

"You'll pay for this! Rezo! We'll never let you go!" The San'shyuum cried as the doors of the phantom closed. The dropship started to fly up and head off to high charity, with the two women to grieve when Rezo was forced to leave by his father, Kret'Faldo... But something was up in the mist as a demon will bring forth High Charity's destruction.

For some time Rezo sulked in the corner of the phantom, hiding his sorrow and shame from his abusive father. He couldn't handle the fact that he was torn away from his two lovers, but he felt it was for them to live another day... He heard his father boasting about how he single-handedly made Cutan look like a fool, even though it was far from the truth.

"Oh, girls... I'm so sorry..." He thought to himself as he kept crying silently, he briefly looks up to see his father taking his attention to his son.

Roa was a manifestation of rage and sadness as she started to take out her feelings on whatever she could get her hands on. Tears are streaming down her cheeks like a waterfall. Kul was in shock, blankly watching the Phantom leave and disappear. Her tears came down slowly, seeming to savor their existence on her face. Cutan came over to Kul and looked down at the female.

"We will get him back... I will make sure of it." Kul didn't look back, just stared off into space. Cutan sighed and ordered the two girls to get to the med bay.
