It suddenly transitions to the his point of view as the Chief, with the sound of the two kids screaming merging into a {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}'s mortar detonating. He is lying on the desert ground looking at his fallen helmet. Then, he raises his hands up—still dazed and temporarily half-deaf from being knocked out—and staggers towards his helmet while hearing the Ellie's voice in his head again. As soon as the helmet is put on, the camera switches to a third person view, revolving around the Chief who's crouched on the sand, recovering from the blast that sent him off his [[Mongoose (fiction)|Mongoose]] (shown lying on its side). The sound is completely restored now and communication from [[Cortana]] and some soldiers could be heard (refer to transcript). An [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|assault rifle]] is also shown lying on the ground.

The scene switches to Master Chief getting up - now fully recovered - and holstering the rifle to his back. At this point, a few Plasma Mortars could be seen heading high up into the sky, one of which is heading towards Master Chief. Quickly, he responds to the soldiers - informing them that he is not lost yet - and reaches for a [[Bubble Shield]] and activating it just in time as the [[plasma mortar]] reaches the vicinity, sending the Mongoose flying away. As soon as the dust clears and the Bubble Shield is down, he starts running forward - at the same time arming himself with the assault rifle while narrowly avoiding an explosion from an unknown source. The camera then switches to tailing the Chief's back, where he is shown to be preparing to take a leap from the edge of a small cliff and drop into a battalion consisting of at least six Wraiths, fourteen [[Brutes]] and one [[Brute Chieftain]], who (while the others run away) anticipates the Chief by raising his [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]]. The final shot shows the Chief "landing on the camera" and it cuts to a black screen with the words "Halo 3" shown.
