Open the orange sky. The 56-type Lich flies between the clouds. Cut into the heart of the lich. The sword of Sanghelios faces Spartan-IV Jameson Locke.

Sanghelios Sword: "I don't believe you. He may... but I don't."

Spartan Locke stared sternly. There are three other Spartans IV standing behind him.

Jameson Locke: "I noticed."

The sword of Sanghelios leans threatly before the sound of Arbiter stops.

Thel'Vadam: "My friend's trust is not a problem today, Spartan Locke."

Locke turned to approach him. The sword of Sanghelios is gone. Locke faces the characters and is revealed to be Thel'Vadam.

Thel'Vadam: "I believe you have to make money."

Locke nodded.

Locke: "Arbiter."

'Vadham passed the Locke check and checked the hologram of a Forerunner guard.

Thel'Vadam: "You are a hunter, are you? It is the pursuer of things."

Locke: "This is not a formal title. But it is close enough."

'Waddam turned to Locke.

Thel'Vadam: "Now you are hunting other Spartans?"

Locke: "I am not chasing the Spartans, but I am hunting the Spartans."

Locke placed a small mat on his palm that showed the John-117's rotating hologram. The arbitrator roared.

Thel'Vadam: "You seek...

Locke disables the hologram.

Locke: "One pair of seven."

Thel'Vadam: "I was not told about your prey's identity."

Locke: "That's why I share it with you now. After all, we are talking about trust."

Locke glanced at the nearby Sangheili Majors.

Locke: "Can I ask you one thing? Your people often call him a "devil." "Is this an insult or a compliment?"

Arbiter glanced at Sangheili and turned around. "

Thel'Vadam: "...insult, of course. But there is a little respect."

'Vadham turned and walked away slowly.

Thel'Vadam: "He is indeed my enemy. But as time goes on, I named him an ally, even a friend. This combined event... (a brief look at Locke) is complicated. "

'Vadam looks away. Lighten to black.

Open to the end of the prologue. Thel'Vadam is facing Jameson Locke. 'Vadam looks up in response to the sound of the speaker.

Sangheili (speaker): "Arbiter, we are approaching the target."

'Vadam turned to his Sanghelios sword.

Thel'Vadam: "Ready to take action."

The disciplinary fleet roared and upgraded their Type 25 plasma rifle. Cut into Locke and nod to other members of Fireteam Osiris: Holly Tanaka, Edward Buck and Olympia Vale. Spartan-IV turned to face the Lich's door. 'Vadham and his professionals joined them.

Thel'Vadam: "What do you call him, Spartan Locke?"

Jameson Locke: "I don't understand the problem."

Thel'Vadam: "One pair of seven. Master. He is not your friend.

Is he your enemy? "

Locke turned to 'Vadham.

Locke: "He is gone, the UN Security Council wants him to come back. I want to take him home."

The two of them looked at the door in front of them.

Thel'Vadam: "I admire your sense of responsibility, Sparta.

The lich's door slowly opened.

Unknown SanheliCOM: "The covenant is forcing."

Thel'Vadam: "But if he leaves the game, he has his reasons."

Unknown SangheiCOM: "The glory of the arbitrator!"

Locke: "I'm sure he did it, Arbiter, I'm going to figure out what they are."

Locke drives his BR55 combat rifle. When it is fully open, it cuts outside the lich door. Locke targets and 'Vadam activates his Type-1 energy sword. Cut into black.
