The remaining {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} survivors have to open six interlocks to open the portal that the ''Spirit of Fire'' needs to go through to escape the [[Shield World]] before [[Sergeant Forge]] activates the FTL drive in the installation's star. There are Forerunner symbols on each door. [[Serina]] discovers that doors marked with the same symbols must be opened after each other. Otherwise the door that is opened first will close. The UNSC forces, however only have 30 minutes to open the portal and yet have to deal with [[Covenant]], [[Flood]] and even [[Forerunner]] forces. With the help of the [[Spartan-II|Spartans]] from [[Red Team]], the ''Spirit of Fire'' successfully escapes the Shield World.

[[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] and [[Red Team]] are setting up the ''[[Spirit of Fire]]'''s [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Slipspace Reactor]] to set into the [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Shield World]]'s internal sun to destroy the installation, when they are attacked by a large force of [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman|Honor Guards]] and the [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]]. Red Team easily defeats the massive Sangheili force, and Sergeant Forge eventually kills the Arbiter by stabbing his neck with his [[Close Quarters Combat Weapon System|combat knife]] and finishing him off with his own [[Energy Sword]]. The reactor, by then, is already overheating and will have to be set off manually. [[Jerome-092]], the leader of Red Team, offers to set it off manually at the expense of his life, but Sergeant Forge takes the responsibility, quoting that the human race will need every Spartan it can get.

Meanwhile, the ''Spirit of Fire'' is trapped inside the [[Shield World]] due to an escape passage being closed. The ground forces eventually defeat massive forces of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], [[Flood]], and [[Sentinels]] to open up a passage that will allow the Spirit to fly out. When the reactor is set off inside the sun, the gravitational forces pull the Spirit into it, but due to some careful maneuvering by [[Serina]], the Spirit slingshots around the sun and out of the planet. The planet, the internal sun, and countless waves of Covenant, Flood, and Sentinels are destroyed from the resulting explosion.

''[[Sergeant]] [[John Forge|Forge]], [[Red Team]] and a [[Unnamed Lieutenant (Halo Wars)|Marine Officer]] is standing at the [[The Apex]] site, next to the [[Spirit of Fire]]'s [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|FTL drive]].''

''Simultaneously, a [[Ripa 'Moramee|camouflaged figure]] behind him activates his [[Energy Sword]].''

''Forge stops working on the reactor and turns his head towards the Spartans: [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman|Honor Guards]] deactivating their camouflage are charging towards them, holding [[Energy Stave]]s.''

''Jerome kills the first Elite with a shot from his [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|shotgun]]; [[Douglas-042]] and [[Alice-130]] pitch into other two Elites and kill them with their [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMGs]]. Alice manages to grab a spear from another attacker as Douglas shoots him and she then finishes him off. An Elite attempts to impale Douglas but is quickly dispatched while another's spear is stopped by him and cut in half by Alice's; Jerome quickly reloads his shotgun and kills the unarmed Elite, while Douglas and Alice throw two spears and impale two Elites from the distance. Meanwhile, Forge finds out 'Moramee had evaded the reactor's blow and realizes the latter's behind him, camouflaged. Forge barely dodges an Energy Sword's lunge, but manages to hit the Arbiter, evade and face him. As Moramee advances, Forge starts shooting him with his [[MA5B]] but to no effect; the Arbiter tries to hit him again with a sword's slash which Forge avoids, but manages to destroy his Assault Rifle with a second hit. Forge charges the Arbiter and makes him fall; Moramee tries to raise his right arm to kill Forge with his sword, but the Sergeant blocks it by using his body mass, then hits Moramee's head with his elbow and manages to disarm him of his sword by shooting the Arbiter's hand with his [[M6C]]. Moramee immediately grabs Forge with his left hand, strikes him to the ground and punches him in the stomach.''

''Cinematic opens as two [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelicans]] fly over a closed exit portal.''

''The Pelicans touch down near a UNSC [[Station]] with some UNSC Marines nearby.''

*'''Anders''': "The doors have some sort of [[List of Forerunner Symbols|alien glyphs]] on them. That may be the key to opening them."

*'''Cutter''': "Roger that. We can't let them leave with [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|those ships]]. Good luck, Sergeant."

*The way that Sergeant Forge kills the Arbiter is similar to the way [[Edward Buck|Sergeant Buck]] and his [[Dare's Shock Trooper Squad|squad]] kill the [[Brute Chieftain]] at the end of the level [[NMPD HQ (Level)|NMPD HQ]] in the game ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.

*This level has some objective references to ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', for destroying a planet sized [[Forerunner]] installation to prevent the end of humanity and [[Marathon (Video Game Series)|Marathon: Durandal]] of putting a sun into an early supernova.

*It is possible to "kill" any, if not all, members of [[Red team]] by opening a door whilst they are standing on it, one will see the Spartan(s) fall to their death(s).
