As the war neared its end, most of John's fellow SPARTAN-IIs were killed in action during the [[Fall of Reach]]. However, John and his AI companion [[Cortana]] fled [[Reach]] and [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|their vessel]] fortuitously arrived at [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 04]], a one hundred millennia-old superweapon created by the [[Forerunner]]s to destroy their parasitic enemy, the [[Flood]], by killing all life in the galaxy. After destroying the Halo, the surrounding Covenant [[Fleet of Particular Justice|fleet]], and the Flood forces on the ring, John returned to [[Earth]] and resisted the Covenant's [[Battle of Earth|impromptu invasion]]. Pursuing the [[Solemn Penance|invaders' flagship]], the Master Chief encountered [[Installation 05]], where a [[Great Schism|civil war]] soon broke out within the Covenant. Weeks later, John followed the remaining Covenant forces to [[Installation 00|the Ark]], the Halo Array's control center, which he disabled before the Halos could be fired.

During their trip back, Fred reported John, that during his time in the Keeper's tunnels he encountered [[Veta Lopis]], the ONI's [[Ferret]] team leader, with whom Fred worked on several occasions before. As a double agent within the Keepers of the One Freedom, she provided Fred intell on the Banished plans on Reach - to open a hidden underground slipspace portal, which would allow their leader, [[Atriox]], to return from the [[Installation 00|Ark]] and for the Keepers to travel there to initiate the Great Journey. Upon their return to ''Infinity'', the Spartans were met by Cpt. [[Veronica Dare]] and Dr. Halsey, whom John informed about the mission success. The team then proceeded to  hangar mouth from where they observed how a huge slipspace portal above the Highland Mountains collapsed in on itself and the Banished [[Intrusion corvette|corvette]] vanished in slipspace escaping Reach just in time as the ship's sensors signaled the imminent arrival of one of Cortana's [[Guardian]]s. The next moment ''Infinity'' jumped into slipspace.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Epilogue|HSoR|Epilogue}}
