The dawn

The dawn was Miranda keyes, daughter of Capt. Keyes, ship. It was sent into the forrunner portal to assist the elites in their battle against the brutes. It was the only human ship to go through the portal because Lord Hood needed the rest to help defend earth. After truth was killed by the arbiter and the mastercheif, the dawn was the only ship that stayed at the ark, for the others were either destroyed or reatreted through the portal because starting up the ark was a dangerous act which would set off the halo that was replaced for the one the masterchief destroyed. Srgnt. Johnson controlled the dawn to set it as close to the control as possible so once the ark was started they could hopefully make it back to the dawn and get through the portal before the giant superweapon made to destroy all sentian life, also known as HALO, could kill them. Because Srgnt. Johnson was murdered by 343 guilty spark, The arbiter and the masterchief were running out of time and had to get back to the dawn in a warthog before the ark started up and completely destroyed them. Luckily the arbiter and masterchief jump a ramp and sucsesfully make it into the dawns hangar. from their, the arbiter is almost killed by one of the dawns tanks that comes rolling towards him but luckily makes it to the control bridge and steers the dawn towards the portal. The masterchief stays with cortana in the hangar and almost falls out of the hangar and almost is crushed by a tank because of the dawns quick acceleration but slowy makes his way back to cortana but theirs a problem. Just as the dawn leaves the ark, the halo fires its superweapon. as the dawn goes through the portal, the strength of halo made the portal so it couldn't sustain itself so it collapsed, with the dawn only halfway through. The dawn is snapped in half with the arbiter safely on one side of the portal, but the masterchief stuck with the power of halo on the other side. The arbiter crashes back at earth with half the dawn in a lake were the humans safely rescue him and bring him ashore. They then half a ceremony in honor of the end of the war and those that fought for it, and all think there well known masterchief is dead, but is he? As shown after the credits, the master chief is seen inside the back half of the dawn floating around and is still ALIVE, somehow, the haevy armour of the dawn probaly helped. The ark is badly damagaged and the chief is floating in half of the dawn floating away still alive. As seen when you beat the level on legendary, the dawn is seen floating twoards a planet that could be reach. So he still is alive on the dawn, or whats left of the dawn, waiting for someone, just someone to hear his distress call from the dawn and so he can return to earth and say, i'm spartan117, and the last spartan that lived to tell the story of how i saved EARTH.
