''Uprising'' opens with [[John-117]] on board the [[Anodyne Spirit|Forerunner Dreadnought]] which is on its way to [[Earth]]. Near [[Jupiter]], he is contacted by [[Io Station]], but maintains radio silence. Rampaging through the ship, he attempts to find the [[Prophet of Truth]] and assassinate him.

Meanwhile, [[James Ackerson|Colonel James Ackerson]] is being interrogated by the [[Jiralhanae]] aboard the [[CCS~~-class~~ battlecruiser~~|Covenant cruiser]]~~ ''[[Triumphant Declaration]]''. He is about to be killed when he coaxingly states that if "''The Covenant attack Earth...they will never find the key.''" The [[Jiralhanae Captain|Brute Captain]] interrogating Ackerson uses [[Jiralhanae combat knife|a knife]] to lacerate Ackerson until he reveals more information. Ackerson states that this key, if not found, will force [[Halo Array|the Halos]] to malfunction "''like they did before''". He also calls the key the "[[Key of Osanalan]]" and tells that it is hidden in the city of [[Cleveland]]. Ackerson then loses consciousness, leaving the Brutes confused and worried.

On Earth, a new character named [[Ruwan Ackerson|Ruwan]] is introduced. He serves as a concierge for a high-line motel in Cleveland as it is attacked by the Covenant. He meets [[Myras Tyla]], a performer staying there. The two evade the Covenant through the city, but are finally caught and herded together with what seems to be most of the population of the area into a stadium, where the Covenant declare that to live they must find and give to them the Key of Osanalan. Myras is confused, but Ruwan states with certainty that he "''knows exactly what that is.''" Suddenly, the Covenant herding the humans at the stadium are attacked by [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] rappelling down from [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]]. As everyone flees, Myras and Ruwan escape, whilst Myras questions how she had lived her life, and blames it all on her boyfriend, [[Philip]]. With twisted fervor, she pushes herself to escape, while thinking of spending a new life with Ruwan. They escape together, riding a [[M831 Troop Transport|Warthog]] to safety. They head to an old section of the city not under attack. They help themselves to some supplies on the Warthog, and set up a little camp for themselves. They chatted a while, but a [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarab]] appears. After they ~~run~~ to safety, Ruwan and Myra are saved by a team of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and escape the city in a [[Pelican]].

John-117, in the meantime, finds himself faced by an extremely large force of Covenant troops. He falls to the floor after being hit by several [[assault cannon]] beams, and is confronted by a [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]] who begins to interrogate him about the Key of Osanalan. However, the Spartan sticks the Brute with a [[~~type~~-1 ~~Antipersonnel Grenade~~|plasma grenade]] and escapes. The Chief then continues his push through the ship, eventually arriving in the Prophet's chambers and setting his sights on the Prophet. He holds up his [[Type-51 Carbine|carbine]], sights the Prophet and fires a round. However, the Prophet is protected by [[~~Energy~~ shielding|shields]] and the Spartan is shot in the back by a [[Kig-yar|Jackal]]. He falls and lands right in front of the Prophet's Brute guards. While the Chief manages to get several shots at Truth, he soon makes his escape, as the Chief is left to fight the guards. He kills them all and starts to find a way off the ship.

In a flashback, the Key of Osanalan is revealed to be a fictional object made up by Ruwan and his brother, James Ackerson when they were kids. Colonel Ackerson spoke of the "key" and divulged this false information in order to prevent the Covenant from destroying Cleveland, where Ruwan resided. In the Cleveland sewers, Ruwan, Myras, and a squad of UNSC Marines make their way into a secret underground [[Military base|UNSC base]]. Ruwan explains to the marines how he and his brother, Colonel James Ackerson, made up the Key of Osanalan when they were boys.

The UNSC come up with an operation to ~~locate~~ the whereabouts of top Covenant leaders, and thus stage a significant assault on the Covenant. This is done using the "key" as bait, and Ruwan insists that he be the one to deliver the key to the Covenant, by himself. When the Covenant picks him up, he declares the Key of Osanalan is, in fact, himself. The plan is approved and Ruwan is injected with [[Tykos 30]], a chemical tracking compound. The ploy works, and Ruwan is taken to the [[Minister of Inquisition]] on the ~~cruiser~~ ''[[Harbinger of Piety]]''. Ruwan is still being tracked by the UNSC, ~~and~~ the [[Orbital defense platform|MAC platform]] ''[[Nassau Station|Nassau]]'' destroys the ~~Covenant ship he is on~~.

However, Ruwan explains that it is actually a targeting vector before the [[Orbital defense platform|MAC platform]] ''[[Nassau Station|Nassau]]'' destroys the ''Harbinger of Piety'', killing Ruwan and the Minister of Inquisition. In the aftermath Lepidus confronts Ackerson who taunts the Brute about his wild-goose chase. Enraged, Lepidus decapitates Ackerson in retaliation.

Meanwhile, John-117, having failed in his attempt to assassinate Truth, fights his way out of the Forerunner ship's [[airlock]] in a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]]. On the surface of the Dreadnought, he is informed that the command ship holding the "key" is to be destroyed, and that he will be within the radius of the blast unless he takes immediate evasive maneuvers. He moves to another part of the Forerunner ship to avoid being caught in the blast's wake. The Master Chief is then ordered to find a way to return to Earth quickly. His subsequent drop can be seen in the opening cutscene of ''[[Halo 3]]''.
