Having been found by [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]], [[Marcus Stacker]], some [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], and the [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], the [[John-117|Master Chief]] is escorted through the jungle, not knowing there is trouble ahead.

Johnson has with him two squads of Marines, but, after spotting a Covenant [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom]] overhead, he decides to split them in order to attempt to reach an evacuation point at a nearby river. The Master Chief, Thel 'Vadam and one squad head one way, following a stream leading to the river, while Johnson and the other [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces scale a waterfall, and head another way. Bravo squad, apparently left behind by Johnson's team to guard the Landing Zone, where Pelicans were to extract the troops, breaks radio silence, and is attacked by a [[pack]] of [[Jiralhanae]], led by a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]. | ||
The Chief encounters the previously patrolling Phantoms, which drop off Jiralhanae and Unggoy. After the battle, they receive notice from Johnson that they cannot get into contact with another Marine team, Bravo. Almost immediately after, the group comes across a stricken marine held captive by a Jiralhanae on a log above them. The Jiralhanae beats the Marine, inquiring about a secret "location." After killing the inquisitive Jiralhanae, they are told that the rest of Bravo is dead, apparently pinned down by a Phantom and slaughtered by a Jiralhanae Chieftain. The Bravo team survivor, [[Reynolds|Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds]], then joins the squad escorting the Master Chief. | The Chief encounters the previously patrolling Phantoms, which drop off Jiralhanae and Unggoy.

By the time the Master Chief and Thel 'Vadam make it to the river for evacuation, the [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]]s at the evacuation point are already under attack by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] infantry. Johnson is seen using the [[AIE-486H machine gun|machine gun turret]] at the back of one of the Pelicans, and with combined fire the Covenant are momentarily pushed back.

Several [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] swoop in on and attack the Pelicans. Both Pelicans suffer catastrophic wing damage from the Banshee's [[fuel rod cannon]]s and make a fiery exit further down river as more Jiralhanae and Unggoy reinforcements show up to kill Master Chief's squad. After pushing through the Covenant forces, the Chief and Thel 'Vadam are told over the COM that Johnson's Pelican has crash landed and shortly afterward come across him and his squad fleeing from the crash site, pursued by Jiralhanae and Unggoy forces. The Chieftain pulls his own Phantom out of the fight to regroup. | ||
They desperately try to catch up with Johnson, killing many Unggoy, Jiralhanae and [[Kig-Yar]]. After coming across the crashed Pelican, they find [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle]]s and [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]]s. Master Chief, Thel 'Vadam and the surviving marines then find themselves in a thick jungle and have to fight past Kig-Yar hiding in the trees and on the ground, with no sign of Johnson or his squad of marines. | They desperately try to catch up with Johnson, killing many Unggoy, Jiralhanae and [[Kig-Yar]].

They then reach a large dam where they see Johnson being taunted and kicked into a small building and held captive by a Jiralhanae Chieftain. It is implied that this is the same Chieftain that killed Bravo's men and pursued Johnson from his crash site. The area is also littered with Unggoy and Kig-Yar as well as half a dozen Jiralhanae. With slow progress, the two heroes manage to fight their way through and around the dam and eventually take down the Jiralhanae Chieftain.

Johnson calls in Pelican [[Kilo 023]] piloted by [[Hocus]] to come and pick them up, but they are first engaged by two Phantoms which drop off hordes of Unggoy and a few [[Jiralhanae Captain]]s wielding [[Type-25 Brute Shot|brute shot]]s and [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|spiker]]s. Whilst the group engages the ground forces, the Pelican arrives and takes down the two Phantoms with missiles. Hocus then lands and evacuates the survivors and Johnson is seen patting the Chief on the shoulder in thanks before the Pelican flies off. | Johnson calls in Pelican [[Kilo 023]] piloted by [[Hocus]] to come and pick them up, but they are first engaged by two Phantoms which drop off hordes of Unggoy and a few [[Jiralhanae Captain]]s wielding [[Type-25 Brute Shot|brute shot]]s and [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|spiker]]s.

*In [[Theater]], it is possible to see a six-winged bird. At the start, when the player sees the first Brute, three birds will sometimes fly low through the area and get stuck on the rock that the Brute is standing on, overlapping and forming a six-winged bird. It will disappear in a few seconds, so one may have to view the level in the [[Theater]] and pause when one sees it to get a good look at it. | *In [[Theater]], it is possible to see a six-winged bird.

*If, during the ''Charlie Foxtrot'' chapter, you shoot Johnson off of the bridge as he crosses it, he will begin to fight the [[Unggoy|Grunts]], and if you are playing on a sufficient difficulty (Legendary with a few gold skulls on), he can be knocked back by grenades and Brute Shot blasts.

If done correctly, when you look at Johnson being held by the chieftain, he will be running and wielding his rifle. | *If, during the ''Charlie Foxtrot'' chapter, you shoot Johnson off of the bridge as he crosses it, he will begin to fight the [[Unggoy|Grunts]], and if you are playing on a sufficient difficulty (Legendary with a few gold skulls on), he can be knocked back by grenades and Brute Shot blasts.

**You can also grenade him off the bridge. He will generally try to run back up the ridge, and back across the bridge. When this happens, he is unaffected by grenades (they launch him into the air, but while in mid-air, he is posed as if he jumped or fell). He will also rarely respond to shots, though he may occasionally grunt in pain or curse if hit by shots from weapons like the Needler. | **You can also grenade him off the bridge.
