Resurrection
(Scenes) Tartarus the brute lies dead in Halo 05?s control room. A group of protector elites and ultra elites stays back in the control room after Johnson, Miranda, the Arbiter and 343 Guilty Spark head off to an elite-controlled starship to go to Earth.

Soon, a large force of brutes, jackals and drones arrive to retake the control room. The protector elites and brutes trade insults before the battle. After several minutes of trading insults, both groups prepare for battle. The momentary lull before the storm is broken by a strange whisper.

?I have walked among men and angels for three thousand years??

A huge cheer goes up from the brutes. The elites look around, dumbfounded.

They see Tartarus? body.

The mighty brute is surrounded by a faint aura, and he?s slowly getting up.

?Time has no beginning, no end, no purpose.?

The elites shake their heads in absolute bewilderment. Didn?t the Arbiter slay Tartarus before their very eyes? One of them, an elite councilor, gasps, aghast, ?No, no, this cannot be true!?

?I wander the earth, seeking forgiveness for my horrible crimes against God, and Man.?

Tartarus is on his knees, like a baby. He blinks uncertainly, and slowly looks around. He sees his hammer, and reaches out for it.

More elites cry in horror and despair as their most hated foe reincarnates before their very eyes. The brutes cheer again. The jackals are as amazed as the brutes and the drones just aren?t paying attention.

?I live to seek death, destruction, over the light, the light that cannot be extinguished?

Tartarus gets a firm hold on the hammer, and it seems to bring him back to strength.

One elite shrieks, ?Oh, if only I were a grunt, born to flee!?

?I live in a prison of my own demise?

Tartarus gets up on his feet, holding his mighty gravity hammer. His impenetrable shield flares out brightly. He glares at his terrified enemies.

?I am lost in time??

Tartarus raises his hammer high above his head and gives an almighty bellow. The brutes bellow and roar, and raise their weapons in salute. The jackals do the same.

Some elites fling down their armor and weapons, and kneel before this seemingly invincible foe. Others, like the one who wanted to be a grunt, run out of the control room, screaming in absolute, unmitigated horror.

The platforms realign so that the brute chieftain can simply stride over to his followers, who bow low in greeting.

Tartarus growls, ?Take them away.?

The brutes take away the surrendered elites. Tartarus steps out of the control room and looks at the sky. He growls again. ?It is time.?
