The shaky alliance between the [[Covenant Separatists|Separatists]] and their former foes, the [[Humans]], was forged entirely out of necessity. The UNSC forces were on the defensive, and they had two common enemies that wished for their extinction: the Covenant and the Flood. The alliance of circumstance was forged in the control room of [[Delta Halo]], when Johnson and the Arbiter were coerced to unite in order to prevent Tartarus activating Delta Halo and firing the Halo Array, which would have killed every sentient being in the galaxy, including himself and the rest of his race, while he, and the rest of the Covenant Loyalist's, still believed the array would only start the Great Journey.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', [[The Great Journey (level)]] Final Cutscene</ref>However, the Arbiter persuaded the rest of the Sangheili to join the humans. While the two factions experience some friction because their alliance is based on the ''the enemies of my enemies are my friends'' concept instead of good political relationships they learn to work with one another for their mutual survival. During the events of ''Halo 3'', the [[Elites]] fight alongside humans in battle. | The shaky alliance between the [[Covenant Separatists|Separatists]] and their former foes, the [[Humans]], was forged entirely out of necessity.

The devastated [[UNSC]] [[Fleet]] in [[Earth]]'s space were glad to accept the help of the superior [[Separatist]] Warships. The [[Elites]]' understanding of enemy equipment and [[Covenant]]'s combat tactics proved invaluable in the [[Battle of Installation 00]], where a fleet three times larger than that sent by the Elites was completely destroyed by the smaller force. Recurrently the heroes of battle, the Arbiter and the [[John-117|Master Chief]] fought alongside one another many times in the desperate and long conflict. | The devastated [[UNSC]] [[Fleet]] in [[Earth]]'s space were glad to accept the help of the superior [[Separatist]] Warships.

Recurrently the heroes of battle, the Arbiter and the [[John-117|Master Chief]] fought alongside one another many times in the desperate and long conflict. Together the two made an incredible team and the [[Prophet of Truth]] was finally killed by the Arbiter with the Master Chief deactivating the Halo Array. Later, the Chief destroyed the Flood-controlled ''[[High Charity (Structure)|High Charity]]'' and the Ark was severely damaged when he fired the new Halo ring created above the Ark which also destroyed the Flood. Unfortunatly, the Master Chief and accompanying AI [[Cortana]] ended up drifting in space following the end of [[Halo 3]] . The Arbiter's presence at memorial services for the [[Master Chief]] indicated that in the wake of victory, [[Separatist]]s and humans remained friendly to one another as they both had made tremendous sacrifices in order to stop Truth and the Loyalist forces, as well as the Gravemind and the Flood. | ||
