It is the last in the trilogy of shorts, continuing where Halo: Combat, Part 1 left off. It was released on September 24, 2007; only twelve hours before the much-anticipated release of Halo 3.
Synopsis
It opens on where Combat Part 1 left off, with the two Marine ODSTs, Bravo-21 (T. Rymarr) and Bravo-22 (S. Hartley), in their Warthog making their way to a squad of Marines holding off an advancing column of Jiralhanaes. The Spike in Hartley's gut is cuasing him intense pain and is highly likely to kill him should he not get it treated soon. They drive through an abandoned industrial area towards a damaged satillite dish. They arrive They are forced to hold the line, waiting for John-117 to enter range. A Spike Grenade attaches to a wall near where the Marines are under cover, and one of them comes out and throws it in the air, where it explodes and destroys a strafing Banshee.
A Phantom begins it's approach to the ground with a handful of marines firing upon it. Bravo-21 joins them and flanks and tries to hold off a column of Brute Minors with a SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle, killing two and pinning a third but is attacked by a Brute Chieftain wielding a Gravity Hammer. He is forced out of his position by it and almost tagged by a Spike Grenade and then chased down by the Chieftain. It batters him agaisnt a wall then delviers a killing blow, finishing him off. A Marine is also killed with a spiker round through the chest as he tries to hold them back with the M41 LAAG on the back of the recently parked Warthog and hits kills two of them before his demise. Coney tries to save him but declares him dead then goes to treat another Marine as he is impaled through the arm with a spiker round. Stuck to a wall, the Corpsman has no choice but to use a buzz saw to cut the round in half to free the Marine, causing him great pain. Finally, a fireball is seen entering the atmosphere. Hartly opens the box the he found in the previous movie, revealing it to be some sort of laser pointer. He sights the fireball, and "SIERRA 117" appears in the sight. More Brutes are hit as they advance on the marines.
Their mission accomplished, the wounded squad of Marines and Bravo-22 retreat into a door, one marine being hit by a fuel rod gun and is blown up onto the bonnet of the Warthog but recovers and continues fleeing. A Phantom passes overhead, not preparing to land more Brutes. After the squad gets in, with Hartley lying against the wall and Coney helping in the wounded marine, another rushes past them to kill the advancing Chieftain with a M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher, blowing him to pieces. After that, the door shuts on them, steeping them in darkness.
