He deactivated the sword and said " What is the meaning of this disturbance"
"The Kaidon has requested your presence on the training grounds" It said.
"Hm, very well" He said holstering the blade and walking out of his room.
L'Mar walked down the long narrow hall of the Vandum keep. He arrived at the gates that led to the training grounds and opened them. By now the sun had already set and the coutyard was light by several lights. In the center stood an elite with it's Kaidon cloak on.
"You requested me?" He asked walking up to the elite.
"Yes. I have summoned you here to tell you of a mission I have for you" He said.
"What is the mission?" L'Mar asked tilting his head.
"I need you to go with a team to investigate a disturbance on a planet where we have a base set up" He said.
"Are you sure I am the correct choice?" He asked kneeling.
"Yes I am sure of this." He said.
"I will depart at once." L'Mar said standing and heading back into the keep.
The next morning when the sun was just begining to rise L'Mar got up and got his armor on. He was picking up his weapons when he saw a Phantom land in the courtyard of the keep. He finished getting his weapons which consisted of an energy sword and plasma rifle. He opened the door to his room and left. He made his way to the courtyard and saw a small group of grunts and elites even a pair of hunters.
"Is all of this necessary?" He said to himself walking over to the Phantom.
"Welcome brother. Are you ready to depart on the mission we have been assigned?" An elite in red armor asked.
"Yes. I am prepaired to go" L'Mar said to the elite.
"Then let us depart" The elite said jumping in the Phantom.
The grunts jumped in followed by the hunters then L'Mar. The hatch of the Phantom closed and it took flight. L'Mar looked around the inside of the Phantom. There was nothing but his squad and several crates of ammo. He looked beside him to see a grunt shifting from side to side.
"Brothers prepair we enter the atmosphere in five minutes" The pilot said.
L'Mar checked his weapons and got ready to go. The Phantom landed and the doors opened and he was the first out. He jumped onto the ground and looked around. Nothing but barran desert. Except for a rock and dead tree the area was without life.
"Are you sure this is the correct location?" L'Mar said looking around.
"Yes this is the location we were given." The red elite said.
"I will return in five hours to pick you up. Pray you have the mission completed by then." The pilot said closing the door and taking flight.
"Let us hope so" L'Mar said looking out into the desert.
"Let us search for the beacon's location" An elite said.
As the Phantom gained altitude it exploeded and sent shards everywhere. One sliver imbeded itself in a grunts head caussing it's blood to spray out on the ground. L'Mar threw out a deployable cover and took cover behind it. Another shard hit another grunt in the stomach causing it's intrails to fall on the ground. The remaining squad memebers took cover behind a boulder while the shards bounced off of L'Mar's cover.
"What is the meaning of this?" The red elite screamed coming out from behind the rock.
"The ship was sabotaged!" L'Mar shouted the cover exploding.
"We must find the base and get a beacon activated" A minor elite said.
"Agreed" The red said looking around.
"Then let us make haste and not just talk!" L'Mar shouted.
And so with that L'Mar and the squad began their treck into the desert to find the scource of the disturbance.
