Three years later, the planet [[Algolis]] is under attack by the [[Covenant Empire]]. The marines defending UNSC Weapons Research Facility T12A are taking heavy casualties fighting Covenant air and ground forces, trying to buy time for the remaining civilians to evacuate. However, the Hades Corps of UNSC Engineers refuses to retreat until they've destroyed all navigational data and prototype weapons in compliance with the [[Cole Protocol]]. As a civilian passenger shuttle is shot down by Covenant plasma, several marines voice the opinion that they've been left to die by their commander, Ghost, who's gained an unsavory reputation in the Marine Corps for losing his entire platoon 3 years earlier. | Three years later, the planet [[Algolis]] is under attack by the [[Covenant Empire]].

The Covenant forces begin their final push, backed by [[Wraith]] tanks and [[Hunters]]. Suddenly, an armored figure bursts out of the Research facility. It's the [[Prototype Powered Exoskeleton|Prototype Suit]] the marines were sent to destroy, piloted by Ghost himself. He orders the Hades Corps to retreat with the civilians while he distracts the Covenant. Over the objections of his commanding officer, Ghost engages the alien ground units and armor with grenades and autocannon fire. Covenant aerial units appear, and Ghost takes to the air with the suit's rocket boosters, taking out multiple [[Banshee|Banshees]] and even a [[Phantom]] single-handedly. Once on the ground though, he is surrounded by [[Elites]] and [[Grunts]] with [[Fuel Rod Cannon|Fuel Rod Guns]]. His suit's [[Bubble Shield|shields]] and armor protect him for a time, until a [[ | The Covenant forces begin their final push, backed by [[Wraith]] tanks and [[Hunters]].

As Ghost lies dying inside the armor, looking up at the escaping shuttles, he flashes back to the dying female marine. He admits that, after she died; a part of him was lost as well. Since that night, he has viewed conscience and emotions as a weakness to be overcome. He truly became a 'ghost', a shadow surrounded by death. The countdown on the suit's HUD finishes, and the computer requests a voice command for the self destruct. Ghost turns to face the advancing Covenant, and shows his first real emotion; a wicked smile. He gives the voice command 'BE HUMAN' and the suit explodes in a massive nuclear detonation, destroying the facility and all the attacking Covenant. | As Ghost lies dying inside the armor, looking up at the escaping shuttles, he flashes back to the dying female marine.
