==Official summary==
==Short Summary==
{{Article quote|Here it is—the blistering conclusion to HALO: UPRISING the story that connects the video games: Halo 2 and Halo 3. Find out where Master Chief has been and where he is going, before you pick up an Xbox 360 controller and finish the fight. Meanwhile, Earth is under siege—the human resistance is faced with impossible odds with no hope in sight against the overwhelming Covenant forces. Be there to see the event that may turn the tide of the entire war. From the creative collaboration of the Eisner Award-winning creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev (New Avengers, Daredevil) comes the final issue of this explosive interstellar epic arc!}}
The story starts off in the Cleveland sewers with the hotel concierge [[Ruwan]], the famous pop star, and a squad of [[UNSC]] Marines. They eventually end up in a secret underground UNSC base. Ruwan explains to the soldiers how he and his brother, Colonel [[James Ackerson]], made up the [[Key of Osanalan]] when they were boys.


==Plot synopsis==
The UNSC come up with a covert operation to bring the Key to Covenant command. The Key was to act as a tracking device to locate the whereabouts of top Covenant leaders, and thus stage a significant assault on the Covenant. 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 ploy works, and Ruwan is taken to the [[Minister of Inquisition]]. Ruwan is still being tracked by the UNSC, and they use his position to target and destroy the Covenant ship he is on.

Ruwan is still being tracked by the UNSC using a chemical tracking compound referred to as [[Tykos 30]], allowing the [[Orbital defense platform|MAC platform]] ''[[Nassau Station]]'' to lock onto his position and fire, destroying the Covenant ship he is on.
Meanwhile, [[Master Chief]], having failed in his attempt to take control of the Dreadnought's trajectory, fights his way out of the Forerunner ship's airlock in another commandeered ghost. On the surface of the Dreadnaught, 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]].
