Corbulo's officer cadets were caught off-guard by this attack. General Black was killed within minutes of the attack; [[Colonel]] [[K.L. Mehaffey]] attempted to organize the surviving cadets inside the tunnels, though she too was quickly killed. Covenant forces soon overwhelmed the ODSTs and Marines, and proceeded to annihilate the planet's entire population, with only four Cadets [[April Orenski]], [[Thomas Lasky]], [[Chyler Silva]], and [[Michael Sullivan]] left alive. SPARTAN-II [[Blue Team]] were then subsequently deployed in response to the cadets' distress beacon. Spartan [[John-117]] infiltrated the besieged school and arrived just in time to rescue the surviving cadets from a [[Unidentified Sangheili Zealot|Sangheili Zealot]]. After contacting Kelly-087 and arranging for a Pelican extraction, John-117 broke open the cadets' weapons lockers and allowed the cadets to arm themselves.<ref name="part4">'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''Part 4''</ref> | Corbulo's officer cadets were caught off-guard by this attack.

The Spartan led the survivors to the academy's exterior, where they were ambushed by [[Kig-Yar Sniper|Kig-Yar snipers]]. Cadet Sullivan was wounded during the firefight, but survived.

Silva was killed by a Needler round, and the rest of the group was attacked by a pair of [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]. John-117 depleted all his ammunition killing one of the Hunters, leaving him with only a single grenade. He decided to take on the remaining Hunter alone, buying the surviving cadets time to escape. However, Cadet Lasky volunteered to distract the Hunter while John-117 got into position. Lasky successfully drew the Hunter's fire, allowing John to plant the grenade under its armor. The resulting detonation blew the Hunter to pieces. | ||

Impressed by Lasky's actions, John-117 gave him a fragment of the Hunter's armor.<ref name="part5">'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''Part 5''</ref> | As morning arrived, the survivors reached Blue Team's Pelican just as the Covenant began glassing the planet.
