The Covenant, furious that their target continued to evade them, were caught off-guard when Ecliptor's pursuer emerged from the ground in an explosion of dust and sand. A single Arachnid Warrior, screeching in blind fury, charged from the fresh hole it had created at the nearest Covenant soldier. The unfortunate, who happened to be a Kig-yar with his back to the rampaging insect, was impaled by one of its swordlike forelegs and lifted, squawking and flailing, into the air. The Warrior almost immediately tossed the mortally-wounded Jackal aside and charged at the next soldier, this one being an Unggoy. By this point, the remaining Covenant had recovered from the shock of the Bug's emergence, and focused all their fire on the Warrior.
The Arachnid, and its unlucky victim, seemed to disappear under a hail of plasma and explosive needles, and by the time he Sangheili commanders had ordered them to cease fire, all that was left was a scorched patch of earth and a few charred, insectoid limbs. There was no sign of the Unggoy, who had apparently been completely vaporized...
