"Thoughts
'Speech
The Sangheilis Fury Arbiters private quarters
Miranda entered the room and saw a table with three chairs in the middle of the room. The Arbiter was seated on the head of the table' Rtas was sitting at his right side, Miranda then sat down in the seat on the Arbiters left side. Rtas then said 'so Miranda how do you like your accommodations?'. Miranda looked at Rtas and said 'yes but why was there an energy sword in the room?'. Arbiter then said 'it is customary, for shipmaster to carry an energy sword with them at all times, so that energy sword is yours Miranda'.
Suddenly the door opened and three Sangheili entered the room holding trays in their hands. The Arbiter then asked Miranda 'have you ever tried sangheili food before?'. Miranda replied 'yes some mild worms I believe they were called' Rtas then said 'did you like it'. Miranda nodded and said 'yes it tasted like pasta, only drier'. The three Sangheili then lifted the lids off the trays and revealed the contents to be, a plate of mild worms and a bottle of water and a glass and the three sangheili then left the room.
The Arbiter then said 'now we need to discuss what to about the bastard truth?' Rtas then said 'he may start looking for other halo rings, since the first was destroyed, and the second ring is overrun with the parasite known as the flood' Miranda then asked Rtas 'are any other covenant species helping you against truth?'. The Arbiter then said 'no, the Unggoy and Lekgolo were with us at the beginning, but they soon betrayed us and rejoined truths armies'. Rtas then said ' and so Miranda we are on our own'. Silence then filled the room as the three occupants continued eating their meal.
Orbit of Doisac truths capital ship
The high prophet of truth prepared to give his speech to the loyal followers of the covenant about the defeat at earth and the sangheilis betrayal. The Unggoy got the transmitters ready. when truth was told it was ready he sat in his private quarters and began his speech 'the defeat we suffered at the human home world is only a minor set back, for soon we will return there with an even bigger army, and wipe there species off the face of the universe, then we will deal with the Sangheili, the Unggoy and Lekgolo have seen the light and come back to us, and have been welcomed back into the fold ,and I have blessed them and forgiven them for their sins against us, and after we destroy our enemies we will be rewarded with another halo ring, and we will begin the great journey, salvation for all'.
Truth finished his speech, he heard cheering and he smiled as he heard it and thought to himself "I will see this war end with our victory, the vile humans will die, the Sangheilis blood will flow like a river, leading towards the great journey, and eternal peace for all who walk the blessed path".
Phantom dropship 30km from the sangheili fleet of salvation
The prophet of Mercy saw the fleet of covenant he didn't know which side they were on Truths side or the Arbiters side. So he opened a com link and said 'this is the prophet of mercy, I am requesting assistance against the prophet of truth, anyone respond?'.
After a few minutes of silence a voice said 'very well Mercy stay on your current course, and you will be at our command ship in ten units understood'. Mercy replied 'understood mercy out'. And so after staying on his current course for ten unit's. Mercy's dropship was in front of a covenant assault carrier.
Suddenly the familiar voice of the Arbiter said 'Mercy I want you to dock your phantom in hanger bay 3, then you will leave the phantom on your own two feet ,then you will be searched for weapons, then escorted to the brig, do you understand?'. Mercy expected no less from the sangheili he then replied 'I understand Arbiter, heading to hanger bay 3 now'.
After landing the phantom in the hanger, Mercy got out of the ship and was met with the sight of four Sangheili with plasma rifles. One stepped forward and said 'follow us and don't try anything funny'. The four Sangheili then escorted Mercy to the brig they stopped outside a cell. The lead Sangheili then said to him 'get in, the Arbiter will be here soon to question you'. The 4 Sangheili then took up positions around the room and stayed silent.
After about twenty units or so the door to the brig opened and the Arbiter stepped into the room. He then said to the four Sangheili 'leave us' the four guards then quickly left the room. Leaving Mercy alone with the Arbiter. Silence soon descended over the room. Mercy then decided to open the line of dialogue by saying 'I suppose your wondering why I am here Arbiter, you can rest assured that I am not here as a spy for the bastard we know as truth'. Arbiter then said 'why should I believe you, you ordered my death, the extermination of my people, you basically helped cause this whole mess'.
Mercy then replied 'that was all Truth, he ordered your death, the extermination of your people, all of it he also tried to kill me, I can not undo the damage I have helped Truth do, but perhaps Arbiter I can help you get revenge on Truth for what he has done, please Arbiter let me help you stop Truth?'.
The Arbiter then went to the cell controls, turned off the energy shield and said to Mercy 'come along' he then led Mercy out of the brig and said to the guards 'I want you to protect Mercy with your lives, hes one of us, understood'. The guards then said 'yes Arbiter'. The Arbiter then led Mercy to a room and said to him 'this will be your room Mercy, these guards will protect you from any Sangheili that's wants revenge for what has happened'. The Arbiter then left the former prophet known as Mercy alone with his thoughts.
The Sangheilis fury bridge
Rtas and Miranda were in the bridge with guilty spark waiting for the Arbiter to finish questioning the prophet of mercy. Suddenly the door to the bridge opened and the Arbiter stepped into the room. The Arbiter said to guilty spark 'oracle are the humans related to the forerunners?' guilty spark then replied 'yes, they are the children of my makers, so in answer to your query, yes they are forerunners'. Rtas was in shock as was the Arbiter, the very gods they pledged their lives to were the ones they were at war with only days ago.
The Arbiter then said 'Truth and the other prophets must have known this'. Rtas nodded in agreement. The Arbiter then continued by saying 'that bastard truth turned our whole religion upside down, to suit his own plans, he will die a thousand deaths for this outrage'. then a Sangheili crewmember said 'Arbiter, we are near Sangheilos, we will be there in less then 30 units'. Rtas then replied 'good' Rtas than said to the Arbiter' we are nearly home, brother after so long, we are finally home'.
The holographic projector on the bridge then showed the planet of Sangeilos coming closer and closer into view and Miranda was soon going to get a look at her new home for the very first time but certainly not the last.
Unknown space
A long sword fighter emerged from slipspace and the pilot saw debris from over twenty five covenant capital ships as far as the eye could see. Daniel smirked and then said to himself 'I am getting closer and closer to my prey, soon the Arbiter and that elite lover Miranda Keyes will be dead, then the secrets of the UNSC will remain secret'. The long sword then went into slipspace again to continue the search for the hitmans targets.
