The duel

On the surface of the ring, Chief wakes up and proceeds to a Forerunner structure which Makee and Var 'Gatanai are also heading too. The two groups arrive at the structure and the Arbiter stated the Chief would not be spared this time. The Chief and Arbiter engage in a fierce duel with the Chief able to slice the Arbiter’s armor early on. The Arbiter switches his energy sword to his right hand and seems to gain the upper hand in the duel before knocking the Chief to the ground. The Chief gets back up and 'Gatanai asks why the Chief refuses to accept his death with the Chief responding they weren’t done. The Chief uses his grappleshot to gain the upper hand against the Arbiter before nearly beating the Sangheili to death. The Arbiter asks the Chief to kill him to restore his honor which the Chief complies by stabbing the Arbiter in the chest. The UNSC fleet, having decimated the Covenant fleet, enters the Halo’s atmosphere before Makee enters the structure. The Chief then proceeds to follow Makee inside the structure.
