"The Arbiter's Downfall"
"Chief we need to get out of here now."
"Go I will stop them so you can get away,"
"I have to get that key back before the Brutes do."
"Fine good luck."
"Johnson were the hell is Chief."
"Sir he stayed to find the sacred icon to the Halo."
"You better hope he is safe."
"...Sir I don't think we need to worry about Chief."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Is he awake?"
...
"Yes sir."
There is a long pause. The prophet of Truth had his back turned and was sitting across from them. While The Arbiter lay on the ground in front of the door.
"If you want to hear me beg you will be disappointed."
The prophet Truth turned around and looked at The Arbiter angrily. The Arbiter still trying to recover from his beating looked around. His chest burned like the fires of hell. He has now worn the mark of shame for his careless actions.
"You are a disgrace to the Covenant. We tell you to protect that ring and you can't even follow simple instructions."
"I did my best, you have no idea how powerful the Demon is.I lost countless Elites to that bastard."
Truth punched some buttons on his chair. A door containing The Arbiter's new armor opened before all them. Looks were exchanged between Truth and a brute. The brute pulled The Arbiter carelessly to in front of Truth.
"You will wear this armor and slay the demon or you will die trying...do you understand."
"I shall do this for you and I will kill the demon with my bare hands."
The brute lifted The Arbiter to his feet and put his armor on. Then with a thunderous blow to his head left The Arbiter out cold at Truth's feet.The prophet of Regret looked at Truth.
"Do you think he will succeed?"
"I don't care; all I want is the demon dead."

Chief fought the remaining Covenant troops. He walked over the over to the corpse of an ultra Elite and picked up the key that will grant him access to the next room.
"This should get by that locked door there, I should expect a lot of Covenant, maybe even a hunter. I hate those things."
Master Chief inputted the code. The door opened slowly and loudly. He was pissed.
"Damm it,I bet everyone heard that."
"Demon!"
Bang!The grunt dropped hard. In the distance Chief heard a Elite giving orders. It sounded as if they were fighting. But what and/or who was in here. He continued down the hall to a door.
"What the hell! Who did this to them."
Blood everywhere. He walked forward and saw a grunt with his chest ripped open.He saw a spot of orange blood on the ground. He could hear explosions in the background.
"This place is falling apart I have to find that icon fast, Whatever went on here I don't time to find out."
As he entered the chamber he saw what they believed is the sacred icon. As he entered the chamber he meet an old friend. Who does hold a grudge.
"How did you survive I thought you died in the explosion."
"Enough talk demon time to die, FOR THE COVENANT."
