The Arbiter flew the ship into the portal to take them back to Earth. However, AS EXPLAINED IN THE FINAL CUTSCENE, the portal couldn't sustain itself and inconveniently closed as the ship was passing through cutting it in half. The Arbiter made it safely to Earth, honoured the fallen then returned to his home world. However, Chief and Cortana were stranded on the other side. Chief goes into cryogenic stasis and Cortana drops a distress beacon. In the Legenedary Ending of Halo 3, we see Chief's half of the ship drifting towards a planet.
