The reason the Master Chief didn't fire on the banshees was becuase there was an entire covenant fleet in front of him. If he had fired, he'd have about 60 banshees, 30 phantoms, and 3 capitol ships on his ass. But I can relate to the whole idea of the humans and parts of the covenant working together. At the end of H2, the rest of the Covenant turned on the Elites, Grunts, and Hunters, it would be awsome to have the master cheif running along side a couple hunters.
But the banshees just passed right next to him.They probably just didn't notice him. He was one person and they probably didn't realize who he was. It's not practical to wast plasma on one guy. They passed right past him just to make the moment more dramatic. Plus, they were all gathering to see the big glowy structure rise up. If they would have stopped to kill him, they might have missed it, and have come all the way for nothing. My final point is that when MC asked Mercy where Truth was going, he said "Earth, to finish what we started." and what they started was the destruction of the human race.
He's the only person there.My rebutle to this is how come if he's teamed up with the covenent, why is he there to resurect ancient forerunner tecknology if it's used for destroying all sentient life? That's no good news to him.
Maybe the Covenent weren't trying to activate it and were trying to stop it and the forerunners were activating "it" plus we don't even know what "it" (the glowy stucture) is?
