The canyon is a bit different than he remembers, and he hopes that things can be different for him too.

Thus, he decides to wait in his memories of Blood Gulch. Instead of trying to desperately to find Tex, and pushing her away in the process, he'll stay in a place where she could find him, and be patient. However, he has learned from the Director's mistakes. Meanwhile, from inside the capture unit, Epsilon, narrating the epilogue, explains that he did not find Tex right away. After the soldier states that the can't get anything out of the unit, the interrogator tells him to throw it in evidence. As the teams head back to their bases, with the Reds hijacking a Hornet, the interrogator approaches a soldier standing over the Epsilon unit, which seems to have some power. The members of Blue Team comment on Washington's supposed death, including Washington himself, who had disguised himself by wearing Epsilon's old suit with added yellow trim, and thus Washington joins Blue Team. He expresses surprise at the teams having killed three Freelancer agents, but says that the Chairman will be disappointed at not being able to debrief Washington. After the questioning is finished, the soldier that interrogated them tells them they can return to their training bases. Later, a force from the UNSC arrives to investigate, and the Red and Blue teams are questioned. After Simmons notes that the unit will only function for a few more seconds, Caboose yells to Epsilon to hurry and escape, but Epsilon doesn't emerge before it shuts down, thus making him trapped inside.īlue Team, with new recruit Washington, and Red Team after the battle is over. Approaching the scene, Simmons tries to stabilize the unit, and Sarge sends Doc to check on Washington, speculating that the latter might not survive. Leaving his robot body Epsilon enters the unit. He tells Caboose that if he doesn't come back, then Caboose will be in charge of remembering him. With the capture unit close to failure, Epsilon prepares to enter it to find Tex. However, Grif manages to survive by lodging the blade of the Meta's brute shot, which he had stolen earlier from the Meta, into the cliff face and holding on. As Sarge, Tucker, and Simmons gather at the cliff, they all debate over whether or not to look over the edge to see if Grif is still alive. Simmons tries to stop Grif from going over the cliff, but Grif falls. He tries to take Grif with him, but loses his grasp as he goes over the edge. Sarge pulls the capture unit from his back and the Meta falls to his death.

Grif hanging off the cliff with Meta's Brute Shot.Īs soon as the Meta realizes what's going on, he gets dragged towards the cliff. Sarge then hooks the Meta up to the jeep with the tow cable Wash handed him, asking ' Hey Meta, settle a bet, will ya? Does that thing look like a big cat to you?' Just then, Grif and Simmons push the Warthog over the cliff. After the Meta grabs Sarge by the throat, Sarge shouts out the codeword 'shotgun.' Grif realizes what he must do and gets Simmons to help. Sarge then begins walking slowly towards the Meta, firing round after round from his shotgun to little effect due to the Meta's overshield. The wounded Washington hands Sarge something and tells him that he knows what to do. Sarge is grabbed by the leg and thrown easily, landing next to Washington, and asking for his help. Tucker even manages to impale the Meta with his sword, but the Meta is unfazed even by this. Despite being outnumbered the Meta manages to overwhelm the Reds and Tucker, but not before taking a few injuries.

Caboose stays behind to look after Epsilon. Happy to see a fight, Sarge leads the Reds into battle, joined by Tucker. They run outside to see Washington and the Meta in battle, but Washington's attacks don't even faze the Meta, and he soon knocks him out of the fight, though not without injury. As the Reds are looking for power sources to keep the capture unit running, they hear a large explosion and go to investigate.
