: No, I didn't notice 'cause you didn't say so...

I did, a few times actually.

: I'm not sure if you're still arguing that this is
: instrumental to your theory, but it's your insistence
: that "the Last Battle is a special case"
: that highlights the error in your thinking. Why is it
: so unique? Why can it not be duplicated? Because the
: Leveler is a "divine being?" You speculate
: that that means he "won't make tactical
: mistakes," but that's baseless speculation.
: Besides, if he were as perfect as you are implying,
: why would he be vulnerable to having his emotions
: played upon?

Perfect in military strategy and defense is totally different than have someone bring the battle standard of one of your most hated enemies out and mock you with it.

Again, Balor would not make the mistake to leave Alric by himself.

: What? Look, if all five of your guys die, Alric is left
: standing there, saying "this is just great."
: Next we see the post game, where he's lying dead. How
: did he become dead? (He was ATTACKED and killed...)

The end-game screen is speculation on Bungie's part. It's also motivation to win. If you lose you see your target killed so when you restart the level you realize if you don't win Alric dies. The story is linear, however you argue its not is ridiculous. There is only one way through the game to fulfill the story. And that is to win.

Whatever is said above really doesn't matter. The true question is:

If the Deceiver and Balor were both around Alric, and they had their armies with them, explain the lack of defense and Dark soldiers around Alric? It's not explainable because its ridiculous to do such a thing.

Plus, let's remember balloons aren't space ships, you can still see the balloon way up in the air. The pre-game cutscene shows ghols watching and spying on you. Are you telling me that no Dark soldier reported back to Balor or the D and said "Um, we may have a problem, want to come down here and blast them with your lightning?". It all seems extreemely odd.
