Halo 3: Ascension

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110217015942/halofanon/images/thumb/7/76/MC_helm.png/40px-MC_helm.png	This article, , was made before Ghosts of Onyx, the Halo Graphic Novel, Halo 3, etc and totally contradicts the new canon. It does not require a Not Canon Friendly template, because it does not contradict earlier established canon. It is its own universe, the Ascensionverse.
==Summary==
After the Arbiter helps Miranda Keyes and Sergeant Johnson to halt the Halo's firing sequence, he swears to protect them from the Covenant as they fight to reach the Ark. However, he finds he is unprepared for the political struggles and moral dilemmas that follow from rejecting the religion and laws he had followed since birth. As he fights to gain ground, he encounters a strange conspiracy involving the Prophet of Truth and the aspiring Hierarch, the Prophet of Justice. Meanwhile, an Unggoy risks his life when he tries to do the right thing and inadvertently ends up becoming a pivotal figure. 
Note that the plot was sketched out before Ghosts of Onyx and the Halo Graphic Novel, and long before Halo 3 itself, so not everything matches up canonically.
Rated PG-13 for torture and some sexual references.
In 2011, Ascension was followed by a sequel.

I've recently added annotations containing writing notes, jokes, and attributions. I suggest not looking at them until you've read the story at least once, as there are some spoilers.
And that's the end.
The end.
The end.
Or is it?

==Notes==
Here are some of my thoughts about various aspects of the story. Spoilers follow.
==Deleted Scenes==
All stories must go through rewrites. Here are some drafts that didn't quite pan out:
*Novelized Halo 2 scene
*Original "Truth, Justice, and the Covenant Way" - Spoiler alert! Read Ascension first.
*John records a message in the Ark - That AI eventually turned into Kurzweil, by the way.
*Reynolds captures Johnson
*Lekgolojiri judges Nonu - It didn't end well for the Nonu
*'Pirztikee meets a gun nut
*The Arbiter delivers a really zippy one-liner
