| ==Plot summary==
| | Following contact with the Flood, Sergeant Johnson did what he usually does: point and shoot. He fired at an Infection form which had latched onto a fellow Marine (presumeably Private Jenkins), killing the Flood. He watched as the Marine transformed before his eyes into a monstrous form (what we know as Combat Forms). He took a blow to his arm from the Flood's tentacles and was thrown out of the containment room, across a large observation chamber and into the wall. |
| Following contact with the Flood, Sergeant Johnson manages to avoid being overwhelmed by [[Pod infector]]s. He fires at a Pod infector which has latched onto [[Private]] [[Wallace A. Jenkins|Jenkins]], though he fails to kill it. He watches as the Marine transforms before his eyes into a [[flood combat form|combat form]]. The combat form delivers a blow to Johnson's arm, throwing the sergeant out of the containment room, across a large observation chamber, and into a wall. | |

| Several infected Marines approach Johnson, prompting him to run into a hallway. He locks the door with a [[spoofer]] and proceeds down the hallway. An infected Marine fires a [[M90 shotgun|shotgun]] at Johnson. The pellets hit the wall, missing the sergeant by inches. Johnson dives to the ground, firing the remaining rounds in his [[MA5B assault rifle|assault rifle]] into the combat form, ripping its head off but not killing it. He then shoots down the combat form with his [[M6D magnum|pistol]]. He makes his way across an [[light bridge]], jumping onto the other side just as a combat form shuts the bridge down. As he jumps across the chasm, he throws a [[M9 fragmentation grenade|grenade]] behind him. The explosion kills his pursuers, knocking him to the ground. He steps onto the lift, glad to have finally escaped the Flood. | | Several infected Marines started to approach him and he made a run for it, but ran into a sealed door. He tried to hack it, but the doors remained shut. An infected Marine fired a shotgun shell that richoeted off a wall, missing the sergeant. The sergeant dove below, unloading the last remaining rounds in his assault rifle onto the infected soldier. He grabbed his pistol and made his way across the broken energy bridge, throwing a grenade behind him, killing his pursueres. He stepped onto the lift, glad to finally escape the Flood. How he later managed to survive the destruction of Halo is explained in [[Halo: First Strike]]. |

| | Some speculated that the creatures that Johnson encountered were actually [[Spartan-III]]s which rescued him from the Flood. However, this story clearly contradicts that theory. The theory states that Colonel Ackerson was using the Halos to create Spartan-IIIs, experimenting with the Flood and Flash Clones, but this theory does not hold up in terms of the cross over with Johnson. |
