UNSC controlled space orbit of planet earth
as the battle for earth intensified between the unsc and the covenant suddenly a fleet of 400 covenant capital ships appeared and opened fire on the fleet of ships already attacking earth under the command of the high prophet of truth.
Orbit of earth Cairo station bridge
'Lord hood sir it's the new contacts they are attacking the other covenant ships' a crewman said clearly lost for words. Fleet admiral Terrance hood looked at the crewman and said 'open a channel to that fleet at once'. The crewman then said 'no need sir they are opening a channel to us on our own d band channel'. Lord hood then said 'give me a visual now' lord hood then looked at the screen and saw a strange sight. He saw several elites including 1 in armour he had never seen before along side sergeant Avery johnson and commander Miranda keyes.
Lord Hood then said 'commander what are you doing with a fleet of enemies'. Commander keyes then said 'lord hood these ships are no longer part of the covenant they have been betrayed by theirs leadership and the majority of the covenant. And now they wish to form an alliance with us to defeat our common enemies'. This statement shocked all of people on the bridge the elites wanted an alliance against the rest of the covenant forces. Lord hood then said 'I will consider the alliance who is their leader and what do they call themselves'. The commander then said 'their leader is the Arbiter and they call themselves the sangheilis might'.
Lord Hood then said 'all right tell the Arbiter to move his fleet near the home fleet so we can get clear shot at any incoming ships and also. Tell the Arbiter I want his ship to pursue the prophet of truths ship down to the surface and help the master chief understood commander keyes'. Miranda then replied 'yes sir understood'.

Miranda then turned to the Arbiter and said 'lord hood needs you to move your fleet nearer to his so, they can get clear shots at the brute fleet and lord hood also wants this ship to go after the prophet of truths ship and aid the master chief'. The Arbiter looked at her and said 'very well then miss keyes'. He then said to the helmsman 'lay in a course to match the prophet of truths ship and' tell the fleet to move next to the human fleet and to open fire on the vile brute scum'. The helmsman replied 'very well arbiter' johnson then said 'yeah lets kill us some brutes'. The Arbiter smiled and said 'we will kill some brutes don't worry just be patient' the sangheilis revenge then went in to the earths atmosphere after the prophet of truth.
Earths atmosphere the forerunner ship near the brig
John was keeping all the brutes near the lift pinned down as he then took out a plasma grenade and hurled it at the brutes it exploded killing 3 and then john fired his battle rifle 3 times killing the last brute. He stepped into the lift and headed up to the bridge where the prophet of truth was waiting for him.
The forerunner ship the bridge
The high prophet of truth looked at the surface of the planet burning from thier attack and smiled and then thought to himself "they all deserve to die every single last one of these, disgusting humans their world will burn till it is glass and in pieces, then the traitorous sangheili will suffer the same fate as these vile humans are suffering know, and they will learn never again to question the will of the gods for I am their inturistment".
Truth was then taken out of his thoughts when he heard banging at the main door leading into the room. And suddenly three loud bangs came from the door truths honour guards had taken out their weapons and stood ready to defend their hierarch when the door busted open and the demon known as the master chief walked into the room and pointed his weapon at truths head.
The brute honour guards fired their brute shots and spikers at the demon who quickly ducked behind a control panel and truth then said 'cease fire'. The guards stopped firing and truth continued by saying 'so this is humanity's greatest warrior, the very man who destroyed the sacred ring, you are going to see the end of your filthy species as they burn to ash, and then you will witness the beginning of the great journey'. But before truth could finish the parasite known as the flood entered the bridge.
The honour guards turned their attention to the parasite now entering the room and with the demon distracted. Truth saw this as his chance to escape. He quickly got out of his chair and left the bridge he knew the demon was following him so he quickened his pace to get to his private escape pod. When he finally got there he turned around and said to the demon 'you may have delayed the inevitable demon, but know this, I will return to wipe your pitiful species from the universe and existence'. He quickly ducked the gunfire from the demons gun and got into his escape pod. As soon as it cleared the ship truth sent the ship into slipspace to Doisac to gather forces and ships for a second attack on the human home world.

John was angry that the prophet of truth escaped his grasp. But he could not worry about that now he knew that this ship would crash if not piloted. John then ran back to the bridge to try and stop this ship from crashing on the earth's surface.
The sangheilis fury the bridge
Miranda looked at the holographic projector of the forerunner ship and saw an escape pod enter slipspace she saw the Arbiter and 343 guilty spark looking as well and said to the elite 'that could have been truth in that escape pod , he turned tail and ran like a coward' the Arbiter nodded and said to the ship commander 'we will deal with him later, but now we must focus on stopping that ship from crashing on the planets surface' the assault carrier sped up to catch up to the forerunner ship that was hurdling towards the surface of the earth.

John then ran back to the bridge. When he finally got there he saw that all the brute honour guards were all dead. He threw 3 plasma grenades and fired a full round of battle rifle ammo killing all of the flood in the room. He then got to one of the control panels and tried to pull the ship up from its descent in the atmosphere. When he tried and could not pull the ship up john then braced himself for the crash.
The Sangheilis Fury bridge
Miranda Keyes and Sergeant Avery Johnson looked at the view screen and they saw the forerunner ship crash on earths surface then the Arbiter said to them 'your lord hood has asked me to gather a team to search for survivors I want you too to accompany me' Miranda looked at the elite and replied 'very well then lead the way'. The Arbiter then replied 'of course follow me to the hanger bay'.
Miranda boarded the phantom dropship followed by the Arbiter and several elite honour guards. The Arbiter then turned to Johnson and said 'I am sorry Johnson but, there is not enough room on this dropship for you go, with Rtas valdum and we will meet up on the surface'. Johnson was about to speak when Miranda said to him 'Johnson do as he said don't worry I will be fine' the sergeant then saluted Miranda and said 'aye aye madam, if you find him tell him he owes me one' Miranda looked confused but nodded anyways. And Johnson then went to the second phantom and boarded it. Then the phantom dropship left the ship and proceeded to head down to the surface of the planet.
Ruins of the Forerunner Ship earth Africa
John awoke and realised that he was still alive he looked around and found a spiker and plenty of ammo. He then left what was left of the bridge and went to find a way out of this ship before covenant search parties came looking for survivors.
After killing a few brutes that were still alive john found an escape route out of the ship. A hole in the hull of the ship which sunlight was shining through. After making the hole bigger with the help of a brute shot the master chief was out of the forerunner ship. All he had to do now was link up with UNSC forces and try to hold off the covenant invasion of earth long enough till reinforcements arrived to help turn the tide of battle in their favour.
John went through the nearby bushes of the jungle he crashed in and he saw a phantom dropship descend on the wreckage of the forerunner ship. And he was shocked when elites came out of it. John wondered why there were no elites on the forerunner ship "maybe they were all being used for the ground assault on earth" John thought to himself. John then saw a elite similar to the one he encountered when he was caught by the flood creature grave mind and next to him he saw his eyes grew wide he saw commander Miranda Keyes standing next to them, standing next to the enemy. Had she turned traitor or was she a hostage. never the less John loaded his spikier and charged out at the elite next to the commander.
Miranda looked around as she heard some rustling in the bushes she then saw the master chief charging at the arbiter fired at him. Miranda then yelled 'Arbiter look out' the Arbiter ducked the shot as the other elites tried to stop the chief but to no avail. Miranda then knew what she had to do she was going to risk treason but she had to do it. She then took out her pistol and aimed it in front of the master chief who then stopped in his tracks and said 'commander what are you doing pointing a gun at me?' the chief looked at the Arbiter and then said 'you are risking treason commander, now i ask you have you lead these elites here to kill me?'.
Miranda was about to reply when a voice said loudly 'drop the weapon commander now!' Miranda then saw sergeant Johnson holding a battle rifle at her and saw other UNSC forces appear out of the trees and a marine captain then asked the chief 'what is going on here chief' and the master chief then replied ' sir this traitor is threatening to kill me' the captain then shot the gun out of Miranda's hand and marines surrounded her and the Arbiter the captain then said to the marines 'take the arbiter and commander keyes to high com to stand trial' Miranda then asked the captain 'why on what charge?' the captain then replied in a serious voice to the commander ' for him mass murder and other war crimes for you threatening to kill a Spartan 2 for possibly breaking the Cole protocol and also committing treason'. The marines then put handcuffs on Miranda and the Arbiter and forced them at gunpoint into a pelican to take them to highcom to stand trial.
Authors notes well that's chapter 1 completed the trial will be in chapter 2 as well as the verdict of the trial. and just so you all know there will be some master chief and sergeant Johnson bashing in this story and this will be Arbiter/Miranda but it will slowly develop through out this story some will be a bit ooc in the next chapter. also chapter 2 will be uploaded but don't expect regular updates on this story okay I have a lot of things going on right now so chapter 2 could take a while read and review no flames.
