Chapter 8: Aftermath
Cortana stared out the window in sadness. She couldn't embrace the fact that John was dead.
"Alright guys, were almost at Earth. It'll take us about 5 hours to get there. Just sit back and enjoy the ride home!" said Johansson. Cortana couldn't enjoy the ride home. She couldn't get the horrible image of Master Chief being overcome by the Flood.
ALPHA FORERUNNER JANUARY 20, 2560 10 MINUTES BEFORE SELF-DESTRUCTION
Master Chief had one chance to board the ship but he didn't. If he had, the Flood would've swarmed the ship and they wouldn't have made it out alive. He threw his remaining grenades and killed most of the Flood.
"Dammit, get back you bastards!" yelled the Chief. He was running out of ammo. He ran back but the Flood kept coming. He was at the edge of a mountain. If he took one more step back, then he would fall to his doom. He drew his rocket launcher and fired. It killed all of the remaining Flood but, the resulting shockwave pushed him back. He was falling but he managed to hold on to a ledge. He waited there for 5 minutes but it seemed like 5 lifetimes. He was near death and had no more strength. He saw black, then he heard a Banshee coming from the waterfall on the right. The Banshee flew slowly by. It looked as if it were searching for Master Chief party. He jumped at the Banshee and pulled the pilot out. He boarded the Banshee and flew top speed towards the top. He made it out of the atmosphere and into space. He flew towards the direction of the Ion trails of the Phantom. Alpha Forerunner imploded. Master Chief was being sucked in. He had no way of escaping. Then, he saw a hole in space. He flew thru it and he escaped from the implosion. He was on riding a one-way Banshee to Earth.

It was 3 years since the end of the Halos. Cortana was still sad over the fact that Master Chief was dead.
"All SPARTANs and Marines, please report to the hangar. We have a special guest coming." said the Commander over the intercom. They all gathered at the hangar and waited for the "special guest". They all thought that no one was coming until they saw something in the sky. It was a Banshee. It landed in the open space. The pilot came out. It didn't look like a Forerunner but it looked like a human. It was a SPARTAN. The SPARTAN took off it's helmet and revealed it's identity. It was Master Chief. They all rejoiced and tackled him in joy.
"How did you get back?" questioned one of the SPARTANs.
"Well, I hijacked a Banshee and flew through a Slipspace hole. It took me three years to get here in that Banshee. I made a few pit stops along my way. The first planet I landed in, gave me a Slipspace engine." replied the Chief. They all celebrated the death of the Flood and the return of Master Chief………
