Chapter 7- Delta Halo
Thel'Vadam and three other SpecOps Elites landed on Delta Halo's surface. They looked around and saw many dead bodies of marines. The surface of the ring was partially barren. In the distance they saw brute shot grenades and bullets. They left towards that direction of the gunfire. Then they saw marines battling Brutes and a swarm of Drones.
"Arbiter, we could use your help!" One of the marines yelled.
The Arbiter and the Elites joined the battle.
"Die Arbiter!" One of the Brutes yelled.
"Hold this position, we can not let them pass this location!" Another Brute yelled.
"You vile beasts shall perish along with your supporters!" One Elite yelled.
"This is for your Prophets!" Another Elite yelled.
Thel cloaked himself and killed the Brutes. The Drones attacked but were killed by Thel, the Marines, and the Elites.
"Thanks if you didn't come, we would probably be ripped to shreds by those Brutes." The Sergeant said.
"No thanks is necessary, but we must continue." Thel said.
They continued until they reached a Forerunner structure. They went inside and found marine corpses scattered around the floor.
"This must be alpha squad." One marine said.
"I knew I shouldn't have let them go." The Sergeant said.
"Give me it now you arrogant human!" A voice said.
They ran down the corridor until they reached an entrance. They entered and found a Brute Chieftain beating a marine.
"Halt you beast." Thel said.
"Well isn't it the Arbiter, allow me to introduce myself. I am Jarburus the new Chieftain of the Brutes. I am replacing Tarturus, and I will avenge his death." Jarburus said.
"You fool, you are only causing your own death by helping the Prophets." Thel said.
"No, it is you who is the fool, but no matter, soon the Great Journey will begin." Jarburus said as he threw the marine against the wall.
"Fuck you." The marine said before he fell unconscious.
"Now Arbiter, prepare for your bloody fate!" Jarburus yelled before he charged at them with his gravity hammer.
Thel'Vadam dodged his attack while the rest took cover and shot Jarburus from afar. Thel took out his plasma rifle and shot at Jarburus.
"Is that all you got?" Jarburus mocked Thel.
"No you fool." Thel said.
Suddenly UNSC reinforcements came through the entrance.
"As much as I would love to end your life, I must go." Jarburus said before a Phantom came through the top of the structure, and left with Jarburus inside.
"Should we go after him?" A marine said.
"No, get everyone back to the ships." Thel said.
