Halo: The Forgotten Spartans

Part 9B (1x10)

Air date: Sep 06, 2010

Part 9b starts with the Elite reinforcements arriving. They send phantoms down to drop off more Elites and they all walk into their position ready for battle. The Spartans are being inspired by Tamerlane as the ODST's prepare for their biggest battle. The Elite army is huge and they bombard Wraith bombs down on the humans. Two Hornets use large missiles to blow up the Elites front lines. The humans then send in Warthogs to keep the front line from breaking but it's too late. The Elites swarm in taking out all humans in their path. Darknal, Stormray and Tamerlane take turns in battling the oncoming Elites, using their skills and awesomeness to take out large groups. The Elites become too much for them so retreat and take cover whilst they decide what to do. Tamerlane makes a bold move to get the Spartans to the shield door and to take cover. The Spartans are unaware that Tamerlane is carrying an old Spartan suit that has a self destruct mechanism, that he uses to wipe out the remaining army whilst the other Spartans narrowly make it through the door. (This was a nod to the Halo Legends animations that were released earlier that year). The Spartans make their way to the main room uncontended but soon realise they are not alone as Librius and his honour guards march in to decide their fate. Librius runs off whilst Darknal follows and the honour guards go to kill the other Spartans. The battle is short and sees the Spartans lose Feonaro, who is killed by one of the honour guards in their battle. Darknal is attacked by Librius in another room but Cosmic arrives to save the day. Librius is forced to help the Spartans and explains their secret. Librius explains how they have been trying to contain the Flood, but it has failed, the flood is loose somewhere on the ring. Rasak comes in to tell Librius there is someone approaching the base but the snow storm outside is making it difficult to see. All the Spartans and Librius go out to see what is going on, to be shocked and suprised that Conan has returned carrying his beloved turret and brute shot. This is short lived as he walks closer towards them, he stops and screaches at the top of his voice as though he is infected by the flood itself, equiping an energy sword at the last second to confirm this suspicion. As the twist reaches its conclusion that Conan is actually infected the episode ends.
