Assassination of the Prophet of Regret: Difference between revisions

A group of Covenant rushed out of the main entrance to the temple, deploying plasma cannons to stop John and his two remaining marines. The Spartan fought his way into the structure as Cortana warned him that the fleet had launched waves of Phantoms towards the temple. With his time running out, John emerged into the temple's main chamber, where the Prophet of Regret himself waited, surrounded by his [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman|Honor Guard]]. Quickly realizing that the Prophet's [[Anti-gravity chair|gravity throne]] projected an energy shield too powerful to attack with conventional weaponry, the Spartan opted to physically board Regret's throne and beat the frail Prophet to death, while the two remaining marines engaged the Honor Guards. As the lifeless Prophet of Regret tumbled to the floor and his throne exploded, Cortana warned John that the Phantoms had been withdrawn and the fleet was preparing to fire on the temple. John sprinted out of the temple and began to run as [[Shipmaster]] [[Rhul 'Salmutee]] had the ''Solemn Penance'' target the temple with the assault carrier's [[energy projector]] in an attempt to kill the Spartan. John barely managed to escape, leaping into the lake as the temple was completely destroyed. As he drifted through the water, a large tentacle belonging to the [[Flood]] [[Gravemind]] ensnared the unconscious Spartan, and took him captive. The remaining marines were either killed in combat or by the blast from the carrier's energy projector.<ref name="regret"/>
