If they don't suck it at first, just thrust and thrust til they do
Ok so i know ppl will be saying "not another one of these threads" but hear me out!
It kept bugging me but it is logical to assume that six can very much be alive...or not killed by an elite while on the ground.
1) we did not see the blade enter six's body
2) we did not see his body go limp which usually happens when someone dies
3) we dont know what happened to jun or halsey
4) the elite's shields were not fully charged (they were in the process of recharging) when he went for the KB.
****So i can picture this happening about a split second after the screen goes dark :
Jun escorts halsey to castle base where she tries to gather her data and research while simultaneously meeting with some of her spartan II's. Shortly after, the covenant begin to glass mountain menachite under which the castle base is located. The group evac in a pelican. Jun grieves at the loss of his team. Noble team's battle.net lists their vital signs as KIA. Six's is stated as 'unknown' but Jun assumes the worst that he is also dead. Suddenly Jun starts to hear gunfire over his COM, it states the message is from Noble six. Jun believes that it is just a recording from a previous battle until he can see the word LIVE under six's call sign on Jun's HUD. Jun can now hear ragged breathing and occasional grunts of pain. Jun immediately tracks the location of six's armor through the battle.net and gives halsey the coordinates telling her to get their ASAP. AS they speed towards the location of six's armor JUN can hear gun fire in the distance and looks through the scope of his sniper rifle. He sees six surrounded by elites! Jun yells for halsey to go faster until he sees six knocked to the ground where he begins a struggle with an elite ultra. JUN starts to panic when he sees a zealot with sword drawn rushing towards the scene and to make matters worse he can see another elite , spec ops based on armor configuration, starting to head in that direction as well. Jun begins to swear when the zealot attempts to behead six before he is punched in the arm roughly by the subdued spartan, disarming the elite. Jun acts now and pulls his rifle from his back just in time to see the zealot unsheathe his energy blade preparing to strike six. Jun takes a deep breathe as he levels the rifle. Time begins to slow as the elite's arm begins to descend, a blue flare travels across its deep red armour as its shield begins to recharge. Jun exhales and pulls the trigger right as the elite strikes. The zealot's head snaps back as the high-velocity armor-piercing shell exits its skull the blue flare of its recharging shield pops like a bubble as the elite falls to the ground dead. The ultra meets the same fate nearly 1/2 a second later. The spec ops elite immediately activates its camo system only to receive the same judgement by Jun's sniper rifle, its body still camouflaged as it begins to fall. The pelican lands 30 feet from six where jun immediately deploys and sprints towards six's damaged figure. Six is breathing irregularly and Jun's trained rifleman's eye can see a small glowing orange spec on six's armor where the zealots energy blade just came into contact with the armor. His armor is singed and melted in several spots. Six's face is battered and bruised and bloodied, possibly the elite ultra subduing him tried to knock him out to stop the struggling. His eyes were shut tight and his teeth clenched. They evacuated six.
