Fishy

Marriage seems to be rare these days... Congratulations on the commitment!

I love Arachnids, no idea why. I have my own tarantula at the moment, she's a Rose Haired Tarantula, about 8 inches long, 2 years old, and her name is Caladayne. Although I guess one of the reasons I love them is that they seem to scare everyone. I managed to scare a lot of people with mine by telling them her species (Female side) can live up to about 20 years before they pass away. Here's a picture of my girl:

~Chapter 17-Part 2: Quandary~ “Alright. First things first. We need to get through that city and push through until we reach beach side. This situation is going to be tricky, but we’re going to need to do what we have to to get this job done. Is that clear?” Sarge looked at everyone, while he waited on the response. He decided on who was to do what. “Yes sir!” The team responded in sync. “Now, here’s the plan. Gregor and Dumby will take their gungoose and assault any infantry we come across. Destroyer and I will take on any vehicles and infantry we come across, so long as it’s not a Scarab. Nut, you will take everyone in your warthog and follow back behind us. Suppress fire, kill any surviving infantry you see, and call out targets. Cajun, provided support wherever you can. Alright, lets move out!” Sarge pushed forward. Everyone followed the plan. “Hey Gregor, lets have some fun.” Dumby looked over at him. “Sure will. You up for it Architect and Fauz?” Gregor asked. “Yes, I want to feel like a badass right now.” Architect smiled. Though, his helmet blocked it from anyone’s notice. “Aigh’, whatever it takes to make me feel good, mate.” Fauz loaded his DMR. Dumby floored it, gun’s blazing. He rounded around a group of grunts and an elite. Architect jumped and did flips through the air. His arms covered his face. As he drew near the elite, he opened up his arms and slammed the knife in the elite’s head. He landed on the other side of it. “Now that’s an entrance.” Architect walked over to the water fountain and got a drink. Fauz sniped each and everyone of the grunt’s headed over to engage Architect. “And like that, we have the punch line.” Sarge engaged the wraith. “Gosh damn it. I hate killing these things, especially in a warthog.” He power slided around, just in time to avoid the Wraith’s mortar. “Biggles, can you take out that gunner, please?” Sarge power slided around again, just in time as well. “Sure thing, Sarge.” Biggles cocked his battle rifle. One, two, three. The elite still sat there and fired. “Hmmm...” Biggles fired again. First bullet. Second bullet. The elite’s shields dropped. Biggles watched closely. The third bullet, straight in the head. The gunner slumped over dead. “Thanks Biggles, appreciate it.” Alex called over to him. The Wraith started to boost at them, fired mortars whenever it could. “Gosh damn, this things kamikaze.” Sarge dodged it left and right. A high pitched screech ran over Alex, Sarge, and Biggles head. The wraith collapsed and exploded. “Roger that, all enemy Wraith’s are down. Cajun ready to assist on your mark.” Cajun just hovered there in the air. A grunt charged his plasma pistol and pointed it at him. Two seconds later, his methane tank flew into a hunter, which exploded and killed the hunter. “All targets neutralized.” Cajun went over to hover above the team as they regrouped. “Alright, lets go.” They pushed forward. The streets of New Alexandria were quite, ominously. Every now and then they’d come across a group of grunts or a couple elite’s. Brute’s were seen individually, but no hunter’s, jackals, or skirmishers were in sight. “Alright guy’s, there it is.” The team curved around the a hoop. There was two wraith’s up ahead. Cajun wasn’t there to support either, he was busy engaging banshee’s and phantom’s that were moving towards the rest of team lord. “We have to do it, you all know that.” The team was ready. “Let’s go.” All the warthog’s went, except Doc’s. He sat back and waited until the area was clear. Destroyer and Sarge drove over and engaged a Wraith. Right as they got there, it exploded. They went over to the other Wraith, it exploded too. “What the hell?” Sarge looked around. There it was. Two falcon’s drove by. One side had a total of two turrets engaged at any infantry or vehicles. The other side took down any banshee’s and phantoms that engaged them. “Well, that was luck. Anyways, let’s move. I can see the area, it’s right over that bridge.” They took off towards the bridge. Full speed, the civilian transport ships were just in site. Loud noises of covenant vehicles came from behind. “Sarge, we have Revenants and Ghost’s moving on our position from behind. I count about five revenants and seven ghosts. Should we engage?” Phoenix was concerned. “Hold on, I got this.” Dumby reached into his supply carrier and pulled out a blue orb and handed it to Architect. “Deploy this and throw it right as you do.” Architect took the orb and deployed it. A large blue pulse surrounded it as it flew through the air. It landed in the middle of all the covenant vehicles. They all stopped and fell to the ground. “What the hell did I just throw?” “A power drain. It kills power in anything that has it. It can even be used to deplete shields on an elite, very helpful at ammo conservation if you ask me. Plus it explodes when it’s done, strong enough to flip a warthog.” Dumby explained to Architect. “And you’re just now using this?” Architect felt a rush of anger. “I only grabbed one, didn’t think it was going to be this bad.” Dumby said. “We’re in a Winter Contingency! Why would you just grab one?” Architect broke control of his anger. “Because I’d rather use them in dire situations, than just against a Wraith?” Dumby torted at him. “Oh, so you’d rather throw it at vehicles we can destroy, but not at vehicles that could kill us and we couldn’t destroy? May I remind you that we could have all been killed from those Wraith’s? It only takes one shot, and even then it doesn’t have to be direct contact. These things will be at it for a while.” Architect was done. “I guess you’re right. My bad.” Dumby said, just as they got to the other side of the bridge. The sound of engines boomed next to them, they all looked towards it. A civilian transport ship was ready to take off. The ship moved slowly out of the bay, and towards the beach to take off. “What are they doing!? Who ordered them to leave?!” A voice yelled. Team Lord looked over in the direction where it came from. There was a spartan right outside the door. Wait, that wasn’t just any spartan. That was Commander Moth. What was he doing here? ~End of Chapter 17-Part 2~ Stay tuned for part 3! The final part of the Chapter! But is it the end of the series?

Lol. I'm just messing with you. You look good, you really did need an update after the last post of you... BTW, nice missile you got there.

*Gets game* *Installs game* *No internet connection to play online.* *Looks at non-existing internet modem.* *cries*

This is part 1 of Chapter 17... I think I'm going to do part 2 first... Just saying. lol.

Even worse then you think, she's eating a cricket in that one. You can see its head sticking out if you look closely.

~Chapter 17-Part 1: New Alexandria~ Cajun fired the gauss. Everyone watched as it shot right over their heads. “What the hell Cajun? You need to get to explaining.” Archangel yelled. Alex looked at Archangel, “You’re not in charge. You don’t get to question orders.” “Sir, look.” Paladin motioned towards where the gauss was fired. A stack of enormous crates and containers were revealed. The camoflauge cloak just wore off on the last one. “Sorry sir, should’ve warned you about the shot. Osiris told me to shoot at that location as soon as I made contact with you. No idea why, guess we’ll be finding out here soon.” Cajun flew over towards the crates. He fired the machine guns at the locks. The crates opened. “Holy crap. They actually delivered!” Paladin exclaimed. The following revealed was: Two Standard Warthogs. A Scorpion. Two Gungoose. A Transport Warthog. “Alright, everyone get to your vehicles. All stragglers, hitch a ride. Paladin, get to your tank. Gregor and Dumby, go to your gungoose. Doc, to your transport warthog. Sarge and Destroyer, lets get the warthog’s going.” Alex hopped on the turret of Sarge’s Warlord encraved Warthog. “Let’s move out.” They set for the destination. Sarge at the lead. ~12 hours later~ “Alright, we’re here.” Sarge stood up in his seat. A few of the buildings of New Alexandria were on fire. A corvette shot down a civilian transport. It crashed deep into sea. “If we don’t make it there any faster, those three corvettes in the sky are going to burn the city down. We need to get those civilians out of there and the skies clear.” “Sir, Paladin isn’t with us.” Dumby commented. Alex looked over his shoulder, “He’ll be with us later. His tanks slow, but he’ll be our pack of punch when we need him.” Sarge drove towards the city. “Good lord the skies are full of aircraft.” Archangel stated. Cajun engaged against a banshee formation that came from the left. “Everyone, engage at the front!” Sarge commanded. The team split formation. Sarge, Alex, and Biggles engaged a group of Elite Commanders. Destroyer, Jack, and Phoenix engaged a couple Covenant Ghosts and Revanants. Dumby and Architect teammed up with Gregor and Fauz engaged a group of cannon fodder. Doc took everyone else in his transport warthog, and got out and engaged all the hunters. ~Sarge~ “Come on Alex and Biggles, work together!’ Sarge power slided away from a fuel rod. Alex told Biggles, “I’ll take down the shields. You finish them.” Biggles nodded in agreement. Alex shot down the shields of two of the Elite Officers, then engaged the Generals. Biggles shot everyone of them in the head as soon as their shields dropped. The Elite’s were done. ~Doc~ “Bek, cover me!” Doc ran up in front of the hunter. The hunter swang at him, Doc jumped out of the way. His back exposed to Bek. Bek opened fire on the hunter’s back, it turned around and faced her. Doc pulled out his magnum and shot the hunter in the back. The hunter went down. “Good work, let’s get back to everyone else.” ~Cajun~ “Hahaha! I love killing these things. It’s so much fun!” Cajun shot the banshee in the right wing. The right wing broke off, the banshee was going down in a downright position. Cajun quickly shot off the left wing. The banshee regained control and flew up towards Cajun. Cajun fired the gauss through the face of the banshee. It exploded. “No kill is as good as overkill.” Cajun returned to help Team Lord. ~Destroyer~ Destroyer had a tough time with all these vehicles. The ghosts were done with, it was just the Revenants that were such a hard time. “Don’t worry, Destroyer. I got you back.” Cajun took out the Revenants without hesitation. “Thanks, I thought these vehicles were going to be a tough ride for us.” Jack responded. “Uh, we have a Wraith headed straight at us. Any assistance, please?” It was Architect. “Sure, headed that way now.” They responded. ~Gregor and Dumby~ “Man, I love these SMG mounts. Their amazing.” Dumby just sprayed through a group of grunts, Architect took out the jackals with a pair of SMG’s as well. “No kidding, I wish the war was this easy.” Gregor plowed over a skirmisher. Fauz shoved a frag grenade into the hands of an Elite Minor. He screamed then blew up. His corpse went everywhere. “Oh crap.” Dumby slammed on the gas. With luck, he evaded the mortar. “Don’t worry, I’m on my way.” Cajun came in. “Well you better hurry, this one’s not going to give up!” Architect broke in. Cajun and the Wraith were at a standoff. The Wraith fired, Cajun thrusted backwards. He shot off the left clamp. The driver of the Wraith was unneedingly stressed. It opened up it’s plasma cannon and began to fire, then proceeded to shoot its mortars. Cajun evaded everything. “I’m done playing around.” Cajun pushed two switches. The Hawk pulled out a Spartan Laser cannon. He pulled the trigger. The blue beam of the laser shredded through the Wraith, it caused a massive explosion. “Oh man, I could see that explosion all the way from here! Bahahaha.” Osiris opened up the Comms. “Osiris. Any intel for us?” Sarge asked. “Noble Team has one of their members, Noble Six on the ground. Noble Six will be taking out the Corvettes with the AA cannons. You guys will need to get to the civilian tranports and safely evacuate them. By the time you get there, Paladin should be caught up and deliver the final round.” “Roger that, Team Lord out.” Sarge took off the Comm’s. ~End of Chapter 17~ Any questions or thoughts?

I have. He's been traveling and working a lot. At least that's what I heard him talk about last.

But she's so cute. More photos of her:

Congratulations Alex! One of my favorite main characters of my own stories. And by far one of the most proactive members. Well done my friend.

I don't even see "why". Honestly, the game would cause more rage if this were to happen. Line 1: "Seriously, why the Hell can't we have the smg in matchmaking?" If they're put in the game, they should be available everywhere. Not just for certain game modes, except campaign. (Ex. Halo Reach Target Locator.)

Welcome! Everything you have listed is available here. I'm sure you'll enjoy the stay, just be careful out there. Let's do to them before they do to us.

Animal Crossing. GameCube edition. I'll even invite my friends over to get a controller and play with me.

No. We're going to continue what we're doing because people like change. Do you see someone put $10 in a vending machine for a $1.25 drink, and walk away happy without getting their change? No, you don't.

Yes. That looks like what I had in mind.

She is. She actually got out of her cage because I forgot to shut it. But she waited there on top until I came and got her. But it's nice to have a small pet to play with. I take her on car rides with me too. She just sits on the dash and stares out the window. I would recommend them as good pets. If not a pet, they make a really nice house decoration at least.

So I've decided I've lost my interest in fish in this world. I've decided to turn my interest to the Arachnid's. More towards the Spider side, actually. Most people are terrified of the creatures, ifls actually did a study on it and they found out one of the major reasons is just from their legs. But I personally took an inspiration in them. I just recently got myself a Rose Haired Tarantula. Really good starter spiders. You gotta be careful with their hair though. It irritates them, and human skin is allergic to them. Here's mine, her name is Caladayne. Just thought this thread would help explain my name change.

Chapter 17 Teaser: "Sarge, take point. I'll cover the exit. Archangel, you flank the right. Bek, hold this position." Moth barked loud and clear. The sound of gauss and banshee's could be heard outside. "Paladin, how much longer before you get here?" Sarge opened his comms. He turned the corner and engaged two grunts. "Now now, controlled bursts Sergeant." He told himself. "Sarge, you there yet?" Moth broke in. He had his scope steadied on a brute chieftain. He fired the sniper rifle. Headshot. "Almost, just a little more... Oh no. This can't be happening." Sarge face turned to horror. "Spit it out, Sergeant." Moth dropped his magazine and clicked in a fresh one. "We've got ourselves three corvettes and a super carrier out in the distance." Sarge relied. "May god have mercy..." Moth broke off.

I can't tell you what happen. But I can say you should keep your eyes on the teaser thread.

No, but seriously wait for next chapter. You'll like it better.

That's because it was more of a chapter where I was just wanting to get the rest of the team involved in the event. I mean, I could've added in your death sooner if you want.

Was my request overlooked?
