Full title- MetroidxHalo 2: Taking Over Me

Metroid © Nintendo
Halo © Bungie

Because most people read the comments after they finish reading the chapter, I can confidently tell you that, yes, I had planned on the Arbiter betraying the group from the very beginning. Did I make it obvious enough? I mean, seriously, the "if" of his betrayal wasn't supposed to be surprising, just the "when". As for the why?
Well, keep in mind that this is supposed to take place before Halo 3, before Arbiter and the Chief are BFFs. Arbiter's still smarting from his disgrace, and he blames everything on the 'Demon' that ruined everything for him. He may have been able to keep a level head during the fight on Delta Halo, but here the Chief is right in front of him and now there are practically no obstacles between himself and his goal (i.e. Dark Samus) that he would need help from allies to circumvent. Shit, meet fan.

Also, as you may have guessed from previous chapters, Weavel doesn't do well with plans that keep him from doing what he wants. He's a leader, not a follower, he just tends to forget that he's quite a bit tougher than most of his followers.

The Arbiter at first was loyal to the Great Journey like all Covenant, but as Halo 2 went on, he saw what the Prophets/Brutes did, and learned that the Great Journey is a lie. He slowly switched from a Zealot into who he is in Halo 3, willingly helping the humans. The Arbiter didn't magically become trustworthy of the Chief when Halo 3 starts, he gradually changed as Halo 2 went on. Learning the Great Journey was false, all the Elites that survived joined the Arbiter, although I'm not sure on the Storm Covenant in Halo 4, I'm just assuming they were away looking for artifacts or something like that for several years, and weren't told the war was over/still believe the Forerunners as gods(not sure what happened to all the Elites from Halo 3 or the Covenant as a whole, and whether or not they still believe this). Not sure what good that will do now, but i thought I'd throw in that bit of constructive criticism(unless you address this thing later).
