Wait a minute. I just thought of this. 343GS can just follow the longsword back to earth. Duh! Because the longsword can't enter slipspace. Can it? But if they can't MC and 343GS will have a long way back home.
Some Longswords can, some can't. Depending on what class they are some of them have slipspace capabiltiy. But, did you read First Strike? MC did not use the Longsword to return to Earth, he and Halo survivors on a Pelican boarded a Covenant ship and used that.
The idea that he hijacked a ship is possible, and the Covenant, (if they captured him), may want to try and study him since he was created by 'thier gods'. So... there's a dozen ways on how he could have gotten to another ring.

But, if you watch one of the official game trailers for Halo 2, it shows MC jumping onto a Covenant ship from his Longsword. In the background, you can see Earth, meaning they are not very far from Earth when they board the Covie's ship.
So, either 343 GS and MC had a VERY long trip, the Longsword IS able to jump into slip space and GS got left in the dust, or the Longsword jumped and GS found some other way to get to Earth (I'm going with the latter).
This is just a theory, I did not read the books so I don't know if it would even work....
