History Awesome / WhenThereWasATomorrow

* At the end of Chapter 16, Grunt goes head-to-head with a dozen Brutes, and manages to keep fighting even as they constantly wound and overwhelm him. Although Miranda and Jack eventually come to his rescue, he pitches in as soon as the pressure comes off. His reward? [[DropTheHammer A Gravity]] [[InfinityPlusOneSword Hammer]]. Two chapters later, it proves to be a match made in Heaven.

* Grunt gets one himself when he peels off a Hunter's armor and rips apart the worms constituting its body]]. Made even more awesome as its his act of [[TheAtoner making up]] for getting [[CurbStompBattle pummeled by Hunters in a previous fight while on a Blood Rage.

* The entire Normandy Crew, even the RedShirts, get one as early as the second chapter when [[spoiler: they thwart a Covenant boarding party without losing a single crewmember.]] Shepard, Jack, Grunt, and Kasumi, in the meantime, manage to board the Covenant ship the boarders originated from and infiltrate it from the inside, opening the door for EDI to destroy it.

* In Chapter 10, Jack [[spoiler: Headbutts [[SuperSoldier Emile]] without augmenting it biotically]] and ''manages to knock him back a few steps.''

* After attempting to console Shepard about [[spoiler: Tali's apparent death]], Garrus finds Emile [[FantasticRacism trash-talking]] him and Shepard's apparent [[BoldlyComing relationship]] with her. After [[TranquilFury none too subtly]] trying to tell Emile to lay off proves futile, Garrus ''throttles'' the [[SuperSoldier Spartan]] against the wall and has this to say...

* Noble Six's [[LastStand final hours]], including [[spoiler:killing Kreave, denying the egotistical Krogan his chance to take on Shepard again]].
** Doubly so when he takes a chance to [[spoiler: comfort a dying Kreave after he crosses the DespairEventHorizon]], even knowing full well he would never have done the same if their situations were reversed. Kreave, to his credit, is grateful.

'''Kreave''': Then... it's a good death...Do me a favour Spartan, when the Sangheili come... kill many. Die... well.

* Much like in the game, the YouShallNotPass Noble Team and Team Normandy pull off against the Blood Pack and Covenant, where ''everyone'' gets a Crowning Moment Of Awesome.

-->'''Garrus''': "Listen to me you smug son of a bitch, I don't care what your problem with me is. I don't care how much you insult me. I don't even care what you think of me. But if you open your mouth and talk about [[TrueCompanions Tali or any of my friends]] like that again, I don't care if we're [[WeAreStrugglingTogether allies]]. I will shove this giant knife so far and so fast down that worthless hole you call a mouth you won't be able to talk, breathe or eat without the use of several machines. Do we understand each other?"

* Samara fighting a Brute Chieftain in the same chapter. The force of its gravity hammer hitting her biotic barriers shatter the windows of the building they're fighting in.

* The dog fight around Anchor 9. Noble Six and Joker show some seriously creative flying and a lot of Covenant fighters end up as debris for it.
