Makee finishes off Vannak!
Deadly Arbitration – There's not a second to mourn before the remaining Spartans and marines have to fight for their lives against a squad of Covenant Elites and Jackals in a brutal close-quarters combat. Makee's personal Elite bodyguard (The Arbiter?) shows up for another round, and Master Chief leaps into combat with him. The two top dogs have a brutal fight with guns and Covenant swords, but without his armor, John-117 doesn't have the necessary edge. The duel is interrupted when another Elite injures Chief with a blast – but Makee stops her bodyguard's hand just before he delivers the killing blow. Vannak jumps in with a Covenant Needler weapon trying to take out Chief's rival, but the Alpha Elite simply takes one Needler shard in hand and stabs it into Vannak's chest, where it explodes, killing him instantly. The episode ends on the remaining Spartans dragging the injured Master Chief to safety, while Vannak lies dead, staring up through a hole in the ceiling at a bird circling in the sky.
