Vale spoke up as soon as Arbiter finished talking, "Locke, I've never heard a Sangheili address a human like that."
Locke then immediately replied, "I'll try not to let it go to my head."
As the elevator stopped, a Covenant Sangheili spoke and 18 seconds later, Locke spoke to Mahkee, "Mahkee says we'll get direct access to the Guardian from down here. But remember, we don't have the Swords of Sangheilios to distract these troops." He spoke to his team.
Vale replied, "Whatever gets to the Guardian quickest."
2 1/2 minutes later after fighting some Covenant then moving on trying to get to the Guardian, a low voice was heard, "Spartans!"
It was a Storm Sangheili.
They fought off the Covenant once again 39 seconds later at the exact place they were in then ran and jumped while killing more enemies.
"Guardian's still to far. Hurry!" Locke said to his team.
2 minutes and 3 seconds later, Arbiter spoke through the comms to the Spartans, "Be aware. New enemies join the battle above. Armored. Glowing."
"Prometheans. We'll be ready, Arbiter."
Tanaka spoke up next, "The Constructor must have done its work."
"It means the Guardian will be awake soon. Double time, Osiris!"
"Watch that grenade!" Vale yelled at the team as a grenade was thrown at them.
They kept fighting as Tanaka yelled, "Grenade!" She warned her team as another plasma grenade came to them and they dodged it.
A Sangheili called out afterwards as he threw a grenade, "Grenade out!"
After
5 minutes and 28 seconds later, Locke tried contacting Arbiter, "Arbiter, this is Spartan Locke. Do you copy?"
Some static went through as well as some things he was saying, "Spartan Locke! -near the Guardian- killing everyone-"
"Arbiter."
Now it was only complete static that replied back.
"That's no good." Buck replied in a calm, "oh no" type of voice.
"We should be close to the Guardian by now."
Vale was worried, "If we could help Arbiter-?" She was it off by Locke.
"We do. But not at the risk of missing the Guardian. Reaching Master Chief is more important."
A minute later the Guardian did a concussion blast which destroyed some of the platforms and the ships.
Locke tried to warn Arbiter before, "Arbiter! The Guardian is-" Too late as the blast hit them and everything else.
They had found the Arbiter fighting Prometheans with his Prophet's Bane.
Locke called out to him as him and his team went to his location, "Arbiter!"
"Spartans..."
Buck warned everyone, "Prometheans incoming!"
Locke replied, "We're almost to the Guardian. They can't stop us now."
