Meanwhile, the Prometheans were proving to be a difficult opponent to the Swords of Sanghelios and were killing many of their soldiers near the Guardian's site. As Osiris arrived back at the main part of the city, they moved past numerous dead forces from Jul 'Mdama's Covenant as the Swords of Sanghelios were pushing them into retreat. However, the Guardian began rising out of the water and entered its activation process, as it started releasing its concussive blasts upon the city. Osiris began sprinting towards the Guardian to make it aboard the construct before it departed, but the Guardian's concussive blasts began damaging the buildings they were moving on, forcing them to avoid falling debris and crashing Covenant ships. The Spartans soon encountered [[Promethean Crawler]]s attacking 'Mdama's Covenant forces. After eliminating the Crawlers, Osiris encountered 'Vadam killing a [[Promethean Knight]]. Together, the Arbiter and four Spartans fought alongside each other to eliminate Promethean forces, including Crawlers, Knights, [[Promethean Watcher|Watchers]], and [[Armiger Soldier|Soldiers]]. As the five held off against numerous Prometheans, the [[Warden Eternal]] arrived at Sunaion. However, after a long battle, Osiris and 'Vadam succeeded in destroying the Prometheans and the Warden's physical form at Sunaion.{{Ref/Reuse|BOS}}

With the Prometheans defeated, the Guardian began preparing its final activation procedures before departing to [[Genesis]] via [[slipstream space]]. Commandeering a [[D79-TC Pelican]], Spartan Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] and Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] arrived at Osiris' location and picked them up to bring them to the Guardian. As Swords of Sanghelios forces decimated the last of 'Mdama's Covenant air forces, a Banshee managed to damage the humans' Pelican. However, Palmer succeeded in flying the damaged dropship over the Guardian, allowing Osiris to jump onto the construct just as it departed into slipspace to Genesis.{{Ref/Reuse|BOS}} The Guardian severely damaged Sunaion from both its concussive blasts and its departure into slipspace, and parts of the city began collapsing into the water below.{{Ref/Reuse|sunaion}} However, 'Vadam was successful in leading the Swords of Sanghelios in eliminating the remaining forces from 'Mdama's Covenant in the damaged city.{{Ref/Reuse|BOS}} After [[Cortana]] issued her ultimatum, she dispatched another Guardian to Sanghelios which utilized its standard armament to destroy most of 'Mdama's remaining fleet. After apparently growing bored of that, the Guardian unleashed an EMP that blacked out the entire hemisphere, but also finished off the remaining ships aligned with 'Mdama's Covenant, dropping them in the [[Csurdon Sea]].{{Ref/Reuse|BB}}
