Almost immediately after fleeing the Spire with the Chief in tow, ''Echo 216'' was shot several times by [[Banished anti-aircraft cannon|anti-aircraft cannon]]s, forcing Esparza to make an emergency landing in a shallow stream. The final impact which stopped the dropship's forward momentum knocked Esparza briefly unconscious, but when he came to panic and disbelief seized him immediately. The Master Chief attempted to calm him but with little success. Instead, being berated by Esparza for putting them both in their present predicament. The Spartan decided he needed to eliminate the cannons, of which he'd counted three, and instructed Esparza to remain put with the Pelican until he returned. Doubtful that he would be safe on his own, Esparza protested this. Before hitting the ground he'd spotted a number of [[Condor]]s and was determined to check whether any of them retained a working [[slipspace drive]] which they could use to flee the system. The Master Chief agreed to help him with such a search, but only after he'd first dealt with the cannons. | Almost immediately after fleeing the Spire with the Chief in tow, ''Echo 216'' was shot several times by [[Banished anti-aircraft cannon|anti-aircraft cannon]]s, forcing Esparza to make an emergency landing in a shallow stream.

Later, while attempting to pick up the Chief and [[The Weapon]], Esparza was kidnapped by [[Blademaster]] [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] and taken to the [[House of Reckoning]], where he was tortured by [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] in order to lure the Master Chief into a final confrontation. The Master Chief managed to kill both 'Rdomnai and Escharum and save Esparza. When the Chief showed respect to the fallen Escharum, Esparza was shocked and called Escharum a "monster". The Chief replied that in the end, Escharum was just a soldier who had died hoping he'd done the right thing. | Later, while attempting to pick up the Chief and [[The Weapon]], Esparza was kidnapped by [[Blademaster]] [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] and taken to the [[House of Reckoning]], where he was tortured by [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] in order to lure the Master Chief into a final confrontation.

Esparza later picked up the Chief and the Weapon three days after the defeat of [[the Harbinger]]. He expressed relief upon seeing them, thinking that they'd been killed, and greeted the Chief with a hug. Prompted by the Weapon, Esparza, who'd only been known as Echo-216 until then, revealed his real name to the pair. The trio then flew off in their Pelican, ready to finish the fight against the remainder of the Banished on the ring. {{Linkbox|quote=yes|gallery=yes}} | Esparza later picked up the Chief and the Weapon three days after the defeat of [[the Harbinger]].
