The group moved through a valley and along the cliffs, fighting the remaining Brutes, Ghosts, Prowlers and Wraiths. Having dealt with the resistance, John got into a Hornet as two [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarabs]] dropped from orbit and the last battle of the Human-Covenant War commenced. The UNSC and Sangheili used several Hornets, a Pelican, a Scorpion Tank and several Warthogs to fight the Scarabs and the oncoming waves of Banshees, Ghosts and Prowlers. John had soon destroyed one of the Scarabs, allowing the UNSC to concentrate their firepower on the last Scarab. When that was destroyed, the Marines were ordered to get rid of the survivors while [[Thel 'Vadam|The Arbiter]] and John went to deal with Truth. | The group moved through a valley and along the cliffs, fighting the remaining Brutes, Ghosts, Prowlers and Wraiths.

En route to the top of the Citadel, Truth intercepted his broadcast to his faithful populace. It showed and disclosed Johnson being held captive by a Brute Bodyguard. When Commander Keyes asked how close John was, he replied that he wasn’t close enough to reach the captive Sergeant. Meanwhile, Johnson was antagonizing a Brute Chieftain in an attempt to kill him so that Truth couldn't activate the rings (as he needed a human to do it). In an attempt to rescue Johnson, Commander Keyes used a Pelican to crash through the window, killing two Brutes before getting killed when Truth shot her seven times in the back with a [[Type-25 Carbine|Spiker]]. Truth, with the help of a now disheartened and demoralized Johnson, activates the remaining Installations. When the elevator reached the top, and John and the Arbiter got off, two [[Flood tank form|tank forms]] offered their assistance to switch off the Installations and stop a galaxy-wide genocide. John, the Arbiter and the Flood battled their way through the remnants of the Covenant and despite strong resistance from the latter, they reached the platform where they found Johnson with the dead body of Miranda Keyes. Thel 'Vadam then executed Truth while John deactivated the Installations. With their goal achieved, the Flood turned on them. John and the Arbiter were forced to double-back and find another way out. Fighting through the hordes of Flood, they dropped down a chute, and discovered that the Ark was building [[Installation 08|a replacement]] for the lost [[Installation 04|Alpha Halo]].{{clear}} | En route to the top of the Citadel, Truth intercepted his broadcast to his faithful populace.
