On [[The Ark]], the [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]] must stop the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] from firing the rings. Before reaching Truth, the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and [[Sangheili]] forces must deactivate three towers powering the defensive barrier protecting the Prophet's [[citadel]]. They deactivate two towers, but the initial assault on the third tower fails, resulting in Sergeant Johnson being taken prisoner. The Master Chief joins forces with the Arbiter and the other Sangheili and they launch a joint assault on the third tower. The Chief completes Johnson's task and deactivates the final tower, lowering the barrier. Before the ''Shadow of Intent'' can begin its assault, however, the [[Flood]]-infested ''[[High Charity]]'' emerges from slipspace and crashes into the Ark, damaging the ''Shadow of Intent'' in the process. The UNSC and Sangheili forces make one final ground assault on the citadel, facing off against a massive vehicular [[Covenant]] force, including two [[Type- | On [[The Ark]], the [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]] must stop the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] from firing the rings.

After defeating the Covenant forces outside, the Master Chief and the Arbiter enter the citadel, only to discover that Truth is moments away from using Sergeant Johnson to activate the Halo Array. In a desperate effort to stop Truth, Miranda Keyes crash lands her Pelican into the citadel's control room and attempts to rescue Johnson. However, she is killed by Truth, who then forces Johnson to activate the Ark. Finally, united by the common purpose of stopping the rings, the [[Gravemind]] offers an alliance with the Chief and the [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]. With the Flood's help, the Chief and the Arbiter defeat Truth's remaining followers and shut down the Ark. The Arbiter then personally executes Truth, ending the Human-Covenant war at last. Moments later, however, the Gravemind and the Flood turn against them. Johnson escapes in Miranda's Pelican, while the Chief and the Arbiter fight their way back outside. Upon escaping, they finally discover [[Cortana]]'s [[Installation 08|solution]] to the Flood. | After defeating the Covenant forces outside, the Master Chief and the Arbiter enter the citadel, only to discover that Truth is moments away from using Sergeant Johnson to activate the Halo Array.
