User blog comment:Western Gen/Speculations for Season 13/@comment-1886172-20150623051257

First time here in a little while, I just figured I would give some predictions for the upcoming episodes. Next episode will probably start with Doyle and Felix, considering they were the only plot line that wasn't dealt with in episode 11. I think it will begin with Felix finding Doyle, when Doyle tries running again Felix will injure him with a throwing knife or a non fatal shot, getting closer and making comments on Doyle finally stepping up as leader since Locus left, he will try taking the sword to which Doyle will attack before being killed with a fatal shot from Felix right as Tucker, Donut, Lopez, and Caboose show up. Felix will pick up the sword and begin his smart ass behavior. I think that Felix will want a one on one with Tucker, revenge for Tucker outsmarting him in their last duel plus both being the only key holders. In the middle of his taunting to Tucker, Sharkface will get ahold of him informing him of Carolina's "death", this surprises the away team though they don't completely believe it. As Felix wants to make sure his fight with Tucker is one on one, he alerts the other three that the rest of the space pirates that went to the temple are headed towards where Grey is, as they don't know of Doc yet. Tucker tells them to head back to her and Doc and then to the pelican to search for Carolina, they leave and Tucker and Felix prepare to fight.

When the other three arrive at where Doc and Grey are, most of the Space Pirates are already defeated by O'malley who has woken up while they are gone, due to Donut's presence Doc is able to calm back down Hulk style and they make their way to the pelican. Donut brings up Doyle and Carolina's statuses which shocks Grey. Back between Felix and Tucker they will fight and be fairly evenly matched and be having a pretty great fight scene though it will end with Tucker defeating Felix. Felix will be mortally wounded but be able to escape somehow, meeting up with Sharkface at their pelican where he will die. Sharkface will now be the bearer of the sword and later on will be the one who is given the Meta suit. Carolina will awaken under the avalanche and call out for Church, though he won't answer. I believe that it will be either Epsilon-Sigma or even Epsilon-Tex who answers Carolina. Kathleen has already voice acted for this season after all and I believe there were reports of Elijah Wood being at the RT offices during production this season. Epsilon-Church isn't gone forever yet, but he is rebooting which is allowing the fragments of memories he has been repressing to take control, similar to how Epsilon-Delta was able to in Revelation. They will heal her with the healing unit and she'll dig her way out, seeing the rest of the away team once she reaches the surface, they'll be heading back to Armonia now.

The main forces of Chorus are already on their way back, except for Washington who knows that Locus will be giving chase. The two will meet and have their usual talk of what a real soldier is before the fight begins, this one should be fun and may involve both of their vehicles. I believe that the fight will be fairly evenly matched, with Locus maybe having a slight advantage. However, Washington will make a comment that either causes Locus to freeze as his composure is broken, as has been seen to happen during Locus of Control, which will allow Washington to kill him or will cause him to attack in more of a fit of rage and cause both Washington and Locus to die. Personally I see the first one as being more likely because no one from the main cast actually dies aside from Tex, and she is a candidate for coming back this season in my opinion.

By now the two forces have regrouped, Charon at Crash Site Alpha and the United Army of Chorus at Armonia. It is probably now that the Chairman will learn of the failures and deaths of Locus and Felix, but see that Sharkface has both "killed" Carolina and obtained the key. Thus, he will get the armor of the Meta as a reward. Hargrove will bring the Staff of Charon to Chorus to witness his final victory, as the Purge can now be activated and so he can deliver the Meta's armor to Sharkface. As for the A.I. that is needed to run the suit, due to the sword in his possesion Santa will be running it. All of the space pirates will head toward the purge temple as well all of the forces of Chorus, having gotten its coordinates from the maps that Santa sent to all of the temples, they'll likely get theirs from the temple of arms from earlier in the season. This will be the location of the final fight.

It will be a huge battle with many soldiers on both sides dying and there will probably be a dramatic fight near the button or whatever needed to activate the purge between the now super powered Sharkface and the Blood Gulch Crew. The purge will end up activated though. Meanwhile in space onboard the Staff of Charon, Adrian will now be up there being picked up when the Meta armor was dropped off. Seeing the trophy room of Project Freelancer relics will likely cause him to lose his composure for the first time as he tries and succeeds to kill Chairman Hargrove, the people who betrayed him that he mentioned being the UNSC who in his eyes betrayed Project Freelancer once the war was done and warranted the arrest of both himself and the Director. Eventually Sharkface will be defeated somehow but the purge is still activated and even with the Staff of Charon there, not everyone would be able to be evacuated from the planet. However if Epsilon can sacrifice himself he can shut down the purge and of course he choses to make this sacrifice. This is when he records his message to the new Chairman that is heard in the Season 13 trailer, once his message is done he destroys himself to stop the purge. Then in the very last episode as a sort of epilogue like we've had with the past two seasons, Season 11 introduced the rebels for an entire episode after the action was done and Season 12 showed the aftermath of Armonia and the Rebels and Feds beginning their truce, of the UNSC arriving once more to the planet of Chorus. Kimball is now the leader of the planet and the Reds and Blues are once again war heroes. I believe that aboard the Staff of Charon, which is full of remnants and bits of Project Freelancer, the Counselor will flee to avoid prison. A ghost of a man on a ship full of the most important part of his life. As much as I'd love for him to come into contact with Carolina and Washington, maybe even play mind games with them I believe that he feels they were just as betrayed as he was and if they know he's alive I know for sure they'd want him dead for the things he knows, the things he did. The Blood Gulch Crew will now be on their way home once again, I'm sure there will be some iteration of Blood Gulch in Halo 5, if anything they can make it in the new version of Forge World in the game. And there they can begin their next adventure in Season 14, maybe it will be hunting down the Counselor if my predictions for the season are right or maybe it will be yet another resurecting Church plot line. I'd love to hear any feedback or answer any questions regarding my theory.
