On the fourth level, the Master Chief and the Weapon discovered [[Fernando Esparza]] imprisoned in a torture device similar to the one that [[Chak 'Lok]] had used at the [[Tower]]. The Master Chief deployed the Weapon to free Esparza who warned the Spartan that it was a trap. [[Escharum]] dropped down in full battle armor to fight the Spartan personally while the Weapon continued to work on freeing Esparza. Escharum proclaimed that their battle would become legend, told by those that survived the Master Chief. | On the fourth level, the Master Chief and the Weapon discovered [[Fernando Esparza]] imprisoned in a torture device similar to the one that [[Chak 'Lok]] had used at the [[Tower]].

Shortly after the battle began, Escharum surrounded himself with an energy shield that the Spartan was unable to penetrate, causing Esparza pain instead. The Weapon warned the Spartan that the shield was connected to the torture machine and that any damage that he inflicted upon Escharum would be transferred to Esparza. Discovering that the power was transmitted by a series of relays around the room, the Weapon managed to expose one, allowing the Master Chief to destroy it. Escharum's shield dropped, giving the Spartan the chance to attack, but the other relays quickly restored the shield. With the help of the Weapon, the Master Chief managed to destroy all of the relays and Escharum's shield while preventing Esparza from taking any more damage from their battle.

Using the weapons available in the room, the Master Chief finally managed to defeat Escharum. | ||
With Escharum down, the Master Chief and the Weapon succeeded in freeing Esparza from the torture machine. Mortally wounded but not dead yet, Escharum staggered over and demanded that the Spartan continue their battle. However, the Master Chief refused and caught and held the dying Escharum who promised that his death would inspire a thousand others and requested that the Spartan tell them that he had died well. Escharum then died of his wounds in the Master Chief's arms, surprising Esparza with the respect that the Spartan had given to the War Chief as he died since Escharum was a monster. The Master Chief recognized that in the end, Escharum was just a soldier, hoping he'd done the right thing and questioning his choices. While Esparza believed that it was over with the death of the Banished's leader, the Master Chief warned him that it was not that simple and that there would be consequences as there always were.{{Ref/Reuse|House of Reckoning}} | With Escharum down, the Master Chief and the Weapon succeeded in freeing Esparza from the torture machine.
