“Rather they had enough honor to not kill a defenseless human child… However for all I know they only intended to raise me just to give me a fighting chance once they did try to kill me” Kyanna said

“Even if our strategy worked, and we got through the Covenant forces that had you trapped in here?” Mariana asked Atan. “And judging by the conversation you and Cabis had, while we have business to tend to. Was your plan to talk them to death?”

Butch urged them forward toward the Arbiter. Deeper within the temple, a drop pod crashed into the room, where the Arbiter was fending off a squad of Covenant Jackals. The Arbiter slashed the Prophet’s Bane through three Elites, the fourth was killed by Butch.
“Who are you?” Arbiter asked. His sword lowered, but he did not shut it off. He had discovered that humans were unpredictable, this warrior could shoot at him just as well as he shot the Sangheili attacking him.
“Butch Pierce, Last Regiment. We’re a coalition of different species. We’d like you to be an ally if possible. We want peace, and would assist in your war against the Covenant.” Butch said.
The Arbiter took time to think on these words. What would the Master Chief think of this coalition? In the brief time he had known the human warrior, the Spartan, 117, he had known humanity was hard headed, but not without the capacity to devise new war machines that could out do the Covenant’s own on some occasions. He could use the additional firepower the LR could offer him in his war. “Butch Pierce, tell me about your Last Regiment. I will not d*mn my people to a similar fate as it was beneath the Prophets.” Thel explained. “Come, there is much to discuss.” The Arbiter said as he watched the Covenant forces retreat.
