Authors notes I don't own halo bungie studios owns halo
This is set after halo 2 and the plot of halo 3 is thrown out the window in this fanfic and also a warning this is an Arbiter/Miranda fanfic if you don't like that pairing then stop reading this fanfic right now.

Reviewer replies
Man just so you know the arbiter and Miranda won't be having sex in this story I thank you for your comments but I won't stop writing fanfiction just because you tell me too.
Zutara4lyfe I thank you for your comments I am glad you like this story.
Reviewer I am not the only writer that has written a fanfic with the Arbiter on trial for war crimes besides the elites were humanitys enemies for over 30 years so I think they would put the arbiter on trial as punishment for what his people have done to theirs.
Danny I am glad you like my story so far
Purrrr93 I am glad you like this story and don't worry about those reviewers who say my story is bad I just ignore them.
Well here is chapter 7 of the banished one
Sangheilos surface korens house kitchen
After Miranda and the Arbiter had explained everything that happened from the events of Delta Halo to meeting the Prophet of Mercy and arriving on the planet to Salre who remained silent throughout when Miranda finished speaking a silence fell over the house until Salre said 'so my brother has made you a shipmaster' Miranda nodded and Salre continued by saying 'he also crushed any chance of an alliance with your people against Truth, because of how you were treated at the trial'. Miranda nodded again Salre then said 'and now you're third in command of the fleet, well this has been a day of firsts'. All three of them then smiled at the comment. Unaware that the enemy was coming for them soon.
The sagheilis fury orbit of Sangheilos interrogation room
Mercy sat in his chair and looked up as the door opened and shipmaster rtas Valdume stepped into the room. Rtas looked Mercy square in the eye and said 'Mercy do you what Truth has planned after he deals with the humans?' mercy replied in a whisper 'no, I don't know what he has planned' Rtas then said 'do you know how many fleets he has under his command?' mercy replied 'no, I don't know how many fleets he has'. Rtas looked at the former prophet with shock and then said 'then what good are you to us, noble prophet' he said the last two words in a mocking tone.
Mercy then said 'I know that truth wants to find a Forerunner object called the ark' Rtas looked mercy square in the eye and said 'what does this ark do' Mercy then replied 'if Truth gets to it first, it will ignite all the rings, and a mass murder will happen, don't you see shipmaster, we have to stop Truth before we all die, for his crazy dreams of godhood and the great journey'. Rtas nodded his head and said to mercy 'do you know where the ark is' Mercy shook his head and replied 'I don't but the oracle might know where it is' Rtas then replied 'okay lets go ask the oracle'.
Forerunner planet
Daniel kept firing his longswords missiles at the crater but for every flood form he killed fifty more took its place. Daniel knew that their forces could hold out for long against this onslaught of flood attacks. He then opened communications to the Master chief and said 'we cant hold off the flood forever chief, I am calling in the fleet to get you guys off the planet then bombard it from orbit' the chief then replied 'we cant risk any ships evacuating us we should have whole squads of marines drop down in pods on the surface, then we can take the fight to the flood and get the hell out of here'.
Before Daniel could reply to the Spartans request for more troops he got a priority 1 message from ONI it said only 7 words earth has fallen to the covenant army. Daniel was in shock the last great stronghold of the UNSC had fallen in only a matter of hours to the covenant and the prophet of truth. Daniel then did something he hadn't done since he was a small child he cried.
Sangheilos surface korens house training room
Koren Kalene also known as the Arbiter was training newly appointed shipmaster Miranda Keyes in how to use an energy sword and Sangheili hand to hand combat when a Sangheili captain entered the room and said 'Arbiter, shipmaster, we just received this transmission from one of our fleets near human territory' it was a holo projection of the prophet of truth.
The hologram said 'loyal members of the covenant, the day we have struggled for has arrived the humans have been defeated, their homeworld lies in ruins and what remains is burning, you have all remained loyal to me and the great journey, although some have left us because of a change of hats' korens eyes narrowed when truth said that last line but the hologram continued by saying 'and now that the vile humans are no more, but this human will light the holy rings, and then all who believe in the journey shall be saved' brute honour guards then dragged a UNSC marine forward to face truth but not just any marine sergeant major Avery Johnson.
Miranda looked in shock at the hologram of Johnson being beat up by the brute honour guards while Truth watched on in delight. She then yelled at the captain 'turn it off!, turn it off!'. The Sangheili captain did at once then left the room in a hurry. Koren looked at Miranda and saw tears rolling down her face he then asked her 'Miranda, whats wrong'. She then looked at the floor of the room and said in a quiet whisper 'it's my fault'.
It took Koren a few seconds to realise what Miranda meant by that comment he looked at Miranda and said 'Miranda, listen to me what happened to earth was not your fault, do you understand Miranda, it wasn't your fault'. Miranda looked up at Koren and said ' your right, but I cant help but feel responsible for what happened' she then threw her arms around Koren and cried on his shoulder while all he could do was whisper in her ear that it wasn't her fault over and over again.
High charity slipspace unknown location
The AI known as Cortana looked around the area as the creature known as gravemind was busy assimilating more bodies onto itself. She knew that the 'holy city' was in slipspace but where they were going she didn't know but suddenly the holy city emerged from slipspace and gravemind said only 2 words to Cortana 'welcome home' and showed her a holographic projection of where they now were planet earth.
Authors notes well that's chapter 7 finished so read and review no flames or rude comments like a previous reviewer wrote telling me to stop writing fanfiction okay.
