Do you think if ONI and the Earth Government becomes, say, corrupt and evil (or evil-er), and the Arbiter-Elites become (remain) honorable loyal allies to the Master-Chief ‘good’ Humans, that in the end of Halo 5: Guardians (or perhaps in future games) there will be a Covenant-like alliance?
Not like a religious-fanatic one finding The Great Journey, but one where the humans (who are chosen as the holders of the mantle of responsibility) decide to ‘enlist’ the help of former Covenant members, including:
- Sangheili - Unggoy - Huragok - Lekgolo - And perhaps Kig-Yar (mainly as a trading partner)Perhaps to restore equanimity and balance in the galaxy, and also as defenders against the Flood?
Enemies include ONI-corrupt humans, Storm Covenant, Extremist Insurrectionist humans (e.g. New Colonial Alliance), any threatening former Covenant members (Jiralhanae, San 'Shyuum, dangerous Kig-Yar, 'Yanme’e, etc), possibly Didact/Forerunners?
