The Master Chief realizes that despite having faced death countless times, he is not ready to die yet. Before the Didact can kill him, however, the rest of [[Blue Team]] rush to his rescue. The Didact throws John at [[Fred-104]], incapacitating the two, while [[Kelly-087]] and [[Linda-058]] engage the Forerunner. However, the Didact's armor becomes immune to the Spartans' attacks and he promptly throws both to the ground.
