No longer restraining your power, your aura blows away the side of the cliff you'd been hiding behind as your fur sprouts all over your body, drawing the dozens of Covenant races' eyes towards you immediately. You can SMELL their fear, having not expected to stand and fight you.
“Kill the demon!” one of the splitjaws snarl, pointing towards you with their energy sword. To which you immediately blur forward, blinking the distance between you both and closing in. Before the one who called for your head can react you activate your Ki Claws, smirking as you swing both left and right claws in an 'X'. Carving him into dozens of pieces, which all collapse to the ground at your feet.
Dozens of others all take up the call, the other starship's turrets turning and firing on you as well. Leaping into the air you dodge the blasts, dashing back down and carving through the sword-wielding splitjaws first. None of them can stand up to you one-on-one, nor can their invisibility hide themselves from you as your ki sense shows you their positions flawlessly. You cut through their ranks with ease, until one of the smaller ones suddenly shouts out.
“For the Covenant!” he screeches, you all turning towards him. Only to see the little being, plasma grenade activated in either hand as he suddenly jumps AT the barrels of chemicals. Oh shit, they're going to-!
<span class="mu-s">KABOOOOOOM</span>
“BARRIER!” you shout, throwing your arms out to your sides and activating your energy shield as fast as you can, it hardening into an impenetrable shield a split-second before the blast hits you. The shock wave slams into your shield, launching you back and sending you tumbling uncontrollably through the sky. However, you make no efforts to right yourself, keeping all your focus on maintaining the shield. If it falters, that chemical, now spread by that blast, would no doubt kill you. So you keep tumbling through the air until finally landing, crashing down into a crater where you come to a stop. Laying on your back, staring up at the sky, you see a moment later one of the glassing cannons fire, no doubt aimed at where you'd first activated your power. So you rise to your feet, powering back down into your base form before flying off, leaving the Covenant behind. Which is unfortunate, as you haven't eaten for the past couple of days and were hoping to make a meal of them. But with their corpses tainted by that death chemical, there's no way you're eating them.
“Too bad. I could have used the meal.” you say, dropping out of the air after a few moments as you arrive at one of your little hidey hole caves you use for shelter. However, as you land, everything becomes pain!
