The awakening of Spartan...
The year is 2552 and the humans are in the heat of the war with the Covenant. The victories they achieve are minor. The only major victory was NOBLE 6 delivering the Package to the Pillar of Autumn. Cortana barely escaped in the Pillar Of Autumn. When they came out of Slipspace they arrived at a curious object. Installation 04 or otherwise known as Halo. At first the humans were denied access, but after something found out that there was a Reclaimer on the ship, it let the ship dock. (On this inside "ring" or Halo [think about a angle's Halo] there is atmosphere, sustainable life, weather, climate etc. Think of it as Earth.) But the Covenant arrived first. Cortana says that Covenant will be attacking them shortly. Captain Jacob Keys tells her to give "our friends" a warm welcome. Alarms are ringing troopers are rushing toward their stations. Two technical officers got a message saying "Unseal the hushed casket." They follow orders and open John-117's cyrotube.
The Master Chief, the last known Spartan II, steps out and has to go for a quick reorientation. When he is finished Captain Keyes tells the tech officers to send him to the bridge. Before they leave a Sangheili bangs on the door. When it gets through the door it kills one of the tech officers. As they exit the room the officer is killed by an explosion. John moves quickly as Unggoy and Sangheili attack the humans. The Master Chief follows a marine and gets to the bridge. Captain Keyes was waiting for him. Another boarding hits the ship, rocking it. The explosion disabled the main cannon. That cannon was Cortana's last defense against the Covenant. Captain Keyes decides for everyone to abandon the ship. Captain Keyes to go down with the ship and land it on the object they had found. Cortana states that the Human-Covenant War has enough dead heroes. But protocol requires him to prevent the ship in any way from the Covenant from capturing an AI. Keyes orders Master Chief to protect Cortana. If they capture her then the Covenant will discover Earth. Captain Keyes takes the data chip from the console and hands it to Master Chief. Then Master Chief puts it in his helmet.
The Captain gives John a unloaded pistol (What kind of Captain keeps an unloaded pistol?!) Master Chief randomly finds ammo and kills a few Unggoy. Marines are being attacked by Sangheili and Unggoy in the next room. He picks up a assault rifle. Master Chief takes care of them with ease. He leaves the ships mess hall quickly as he kills more and more Sangheili and Unggoy. A Covenant boarding craft hits the ship killing a few marines with Covenant pouring out of it. He kills them with ease. He moves through a few rooms and eventually assists a battle where Covenant have the advantage. Chief moves up stairs and kills the Sangheili. When the Sangheili are killed, the remaining Unggoy start running away. Several lifepods launch and some are destroyed. When John almost reaches his destination blast doors close. So he has to use the maintenance hallways. Having a little bit of trouble he goes through the small maze where he encounters more Covenant. Then several explosions kill the Covenant and some marines. He reaches a lifepod after killing Covenant forces surrounding it. He gently throws a marine in the lifepod and tells the pilot to start the pod. A marine starts panicking and the Master Chief softly pats his shoulder. In the distance the Pillar of Autumn is hit by heavy Covenant firepower. The ship heads for the rings atmosphere as does the lifepod. The lifeboat crashes.

Spartan 117 crash lands...
When Master Chief wakes up he notices that all of the marines are dead.
So he quickly leaves the crash site before the Covenant get to them. A
few Banshees search the area as well as a Spirit. The Spirit lands
Covenant forces on the site but the Chief is long gone. He moves up a
hill next to a cliff and has to deal with a squad of Unggoy and a
Sangheili. He takes care of them with ease and little ammo used. The
Master Chief jumps down a small ledge and finds some Unggoy and a few
Sangheili assaulting some marines including Staff Sergeant Johnson.
Master Chief moves to a weird building that is firing giant sparks to
the middle of the Halo. Multiple Spirits drop Sangheili, Unggoy and
Kig-Yar. Saving the marines and the surviving crewmen board a Pelican
named Echo 419. He also sees a few other lifepods crash. The Pelican
drops a Warthog and flies off with the troopers. John gets in and a
marine who stayed behind gets in the gunner seat. The Master Chief
drives for a mile or two and comes across a unnatural cave.
They move through the cave and eventually encounters more Covenant. He could have easily drove through but there was a giant gap that would have been impossible to jump across with the Warthog. So John gets out and activates the bridge. He drives across the bridge and finally gets outside. He needs to rescue three more groups of survivors. The first one he goes to is near a landslide. The Master Chief rescues them after facing several facing waves of Covenant desperate to kill the humans because of their fear. Their fear that the humans will the stop the "journey." John goes to the next area which is some large hills. He defends some more humans from the Covenant. Several Kig-Yar and Sangheili and Unggoy. He kills them all and the Pelican picks the humans up. John finally heads for the cliff edge. He kills the Covenant on the exterior of the unknown structure. He heads for the interior of the structure and kills the Covenant inside. The Pelican arrives and the marines, crewmen, Master Chief and Cortana get on board. Cortana says that the Covenant located the Pillar of Autumn's crash site. The only problem is that the Covenant captured the command crew including Captain Keyes. He is being held on a Covenant cruiser, Truth and Reconciliation. So they quickly fly toward it.

Truth and Reconciliation
Master Chief, Cortana and and a squad of marines touch down and need to get in the Covenant ship. They have to get in by the ship's gravity lift, The Master Chief wields a sniper and a assault rifle. He takes out the Covenant forces ahead quietly. Then some Sangheili and Unggoy walks around the corner of a cliff a attacks them. When they fired the marines help John kill them. They moved to the next area where there was an Unggoy operating a turret and a few Kig-Yar that was walking around. There were also some Sangheili guarding the area. Master Chief unsuccessfully killing the Covenant with stealth was finally spotted. So he and the marines killed the Covenant with one squad of Unggoy and Kig-Yar reinforcements. When they went through a small cave like area and Master Chief kills several Unggoy and Sangheili. He takes out a few turrets guarding the gravity lift. A Spirit drops in reinforcements. Master Chief kills them easily. But several waves of Covenant pour out of the ship. The last wave contained two Hunters. Chief killed them easily and went into the gravity lift with a squad of marines. They head up the lift and appear inside the ship.
The ship is very smooth and curved on the walls, with no sharp edges on the walls. This is typical Covenant design and all they see is purple and pink. Cortana detects Captain Keyes and no Covenant defenses. The marines were surprised. Then bay doors open and waves upon waves of Covenant attack John and the marines. After fighting off several waves of Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Special Operations Sangheili (these guys are invisible and . Then a large door opened and a pair of hunters walked out. Chief and the marines killed them with difficulty. The marines stay where they are and the Master Chief goes ahead. He kills a lot of Covenant in the corridors of the ship. He reaches a large room where more Covenant pour out of the hallways. After sometime, he kills them and activates a door which reveals the marines. After running through a few hallways they come across a docking bay. They see a Spirit head out. Master Chief and Cortana call reinforcements. Foe Hammer says almost rejects but decides to dock with the ship. While Master Chief and a few surviving marines fight off Covenant forces, Foe Hammer drops a few marines with a Pelican. When they kill the Covenant on the second and third floors they head across the room and try to go through a door. The door is locked. Cortana said that she can access the Covenant Battlenet and unlock the door. After Master Chief and the marines fight off several waves of Covenant are attacking them from above and on their level. Then a pair of Hunters attacks them. Master Chief has difficulty killing them but gets the job done. Cortana finally unlocks the door and John and the surviving marines go through. They go to the second floor and John deactivates the shields. Cortana contacts Foe Hammer again and they deliver more marines. Then they all move to the third level. They move through a series of corridors and finds Truth and Reconciliation's bridge. Master Chief kills several Sangheili including a Zealot Shipmaster. The marines stay behind and guard the area while Master Chief looks for Captain Keyes. He encounters little resistance from the Covenant, mainly a few Kig-Yar and Unggoy. First he comes across a empty brig with a few dead human bodies. Then he keeps looking and finds another brig. (You can kill the Sangheili silently or just shoot them. I had to look that up on wikipedia.)
Chief barging in kills a few Sangheili with cloaking devices and a Zwalot.. Chief kills them easily and releases Captain Keyes and the crewman. They each pick up a weapon and gather around Captain Keyes. Keyes said they heard the Sangheili talking about a "ring world." He says they call it Halo. Cortana says it is a major religious artifact. She said they believe it is a weapon. A weapon with "unimaginable power." Captain Keyes stated that the Covenant said that "whoever controls Halo, controls the fate of the universe." The Covenant were looking for a control room in the battle above the ring. Captain Keyes gave John and Cortana a new mission: to beat the Covenant to Halo's control room and activate it, killing the Covenant. Captain Keyes picks up a needler and several Special Operations Sangheili move through the doors. Chief and the crewmen killed them easily. Then they killed some Kig-Yar and some more Unggoy. They rush through the area as they fight more Sangheili on guard duty. As they head back to where the marines were stationed they found out that they have been killed by Special Operations Sangheili. Chief and the others kill them with ease. Cortana contacts Foe Hammer. Foe Hammer says that she is being engaged by too many Covenant forces. Captain Keyes seems to be calm. He says that if they can get to a Spirit then he can fly everyone out. Cortana says that there is one more ship docked. The doors open from all sides and several waves of Unggoy and other Covenant forces attack them. They kill them and move to the next area and kill more Covenant. Master Chief releases the docking clamps and they all board the Spirit. Captain sees too Hunters and smashes the Spirit into them. Then he flies away from the Truth and Reconciliation.

The Silent Cartographer
Two Pelicans fly over an ocean as Cortana tells John and marines that the Covenant believe in the Silent Cartographer. She says that it is under the island and when it's activated it will lead them to Halo's control center. They drop the Chief and the two squads of marines near Covenant infantry. The engage Unggoy and Sangheili and after sometime they killed them. When they move the beach they eliminate the Covenant. A Pelican delivers a Warthog. Master Chief and two marines get in and they move the beach and drive up a hill. As they approach a main building in a cliff wall they spot Covenant in the facility. They have to hurry to find the map room. They hurry inside the structure and kill a large squad of Covenant. After they kill them they notice some Covenant forces down to the lower levels. Master Chief quickly moves downstairs and finds Covenant forces guarding a door with a Zealot behind the opened door. As Master Chief quickly dispatches the other Sangheili the door in front of the Zealot closes. Cortana contacts Captain Keyes and says they can't access the map room. He is en route to their location and Cortana and John have to find a way to unlock the doors. They head out of the area with the Warthog and find and area with more Covenant. Several Unggoy and Kig-Yar attack them. Since they can't move the Warthog through (You actually can but it is really difficult.) Master Chief travels on foot. They kill a few Sangheili and some more Unggoy. As the Master Chief moves up the trail he comes across a pair of hunters. He kills them easily. Then a Spirit dropship delivers a squad of Kig-Yar. He kills them as they flee from his wrath. Then he fights and kills another squad of Covenant in the next area. When he is finished he moves inside a saucer shaped building. Before he enters however, he is attacked by a few Unggoy. Once again he kills them and moves downstairs where two Hunters attack him. Chief disposes them and moves through an alien hallway which was not of Covenant origin. He finds a security override. He opens the door that was previously locked. He quickly backtracks to where he fought the Hunters. Special Operations Sangheili tries desperately to kill the Master Chief. The Master Chief kills the Sangheili and backtracks all the way to the parked Warthog. (You can also jump down from here and get the rocket launcher.) He drives to where the Covenant locked the door. He spots a few squads of Covenant including Hunters. Master Chief and the marines have trouble defeating the Covenant but eventually gets the job done. When John walks inside the building and kills a few Kig-Yar. He walks over to an edge and kicks a Unggoy's methane tank to the abyss. He moves on. But it is unusually quiet, for now. He heads down and is attacked by a squad of Covenant. He keeps moving down after he kills them. When he reaches the second sublevel he is attacked by another squad. He keeps fight more Covenant forces as he goes to the fourth sublevel. When he finally reaches the Cartographer he activates it. A diagram of Halo separates into multiple parts. Cortana scans it and locates Halo's control room. During her scans she noticed that it was "temple or shrine." She was confused because she was wondering why the makers would place a shrine in a important place. Cortana tries to contact Captain Keyes but Foehammer says that he isn't in range. Then Master Chief has to shoot his way out. He fights several squads of Covenant as he move to the top. Before he reaches the top, a Zealot with an energy sword charges at his. Master Chief kills him before the Zealot lunged at him. When he does reach the top the marines are being attacked by the Covenant. Several Special Operations Sangheili try to kill the Master Chief. He defeats them quickly. The marines were all killed. Cortana contacts Foehammer to request a pickup. They arrive quickly and they get out of the area. Cortana gives her the coordinates for their next objective. Foehammer says that they are underground.
Exterior of the control room (Halo 3 version)
As the Pelican escorting Master Chief slowly moves upward they scare a lone Unggoy patrolling the area. He runs away and alerts the other Covenant forces. Cortana says that the Covenant have the entire region occupied. He goes through a few hallways and steps outside. It is snowing. Cortana wonders why it is. She thinks it might be inclement weather or the creators of the ring wanted it to have inclement weather. Soon after they see a Pelican fly ahead over a bridge. Of course Covenant forces fire on it. They request assistance from UNSC forces. Then they see the Pelican fly under the bridge. The Master Chief moves through a series of corridors and gets outside.
Three marines are trapped near a Warthog that has been flipped over. A few Shade turrets, a few Ghosts and a Wraith are attacking them. Master Chief takes out the first Shade turret that is a few meters away from him. He runs for the trapped marines. He spots a few weapons he could use. He picks up a rocket launcher and destroys a Ghost. The Wraith is still firing on their position. It nearly misses the Master Chief. He flips the Warthog and gets in along with two marines. They destroy the other Shade turret and a few infantry units. Then they come across the Wraith. They destroy it with difficulty due to the armor of the Wraith. When they destroy the Wraith they move down the area and down a small ledge. They spot a unmanned Scorpion tank with a few marines, including Sergeant Johnson. Master Chief quickly gets out of the Warthog and jumps in the tank. He destroys a Wraith and some infantry. Some marines board the jump seats of the tank. He drives to another large open area. Two Wraiths occupy the area. One is hovering near him and the other one is near the edge of a small cliff. He destroys the first Wraith. A few Snagheili, Unggoy, anf Kig-Yar try to kill him but obviously fail. A few Shade turrets fire on him. But he blows them up easily. He is still under fire from the other Wraith, but with careful aim he destroys it with the Scorpion tank.
He drives the tank into a unnatural formed cave and kills a few Hunters on the way down. He moves into an area where two Sangheili are guarding the area. With one shot he blows them up. He destroys a Shade turret on his right first guarded by a few Unggoy. He moves to the left side where there is another Shade turret. He destroys it and moves across the bridge. Master Chief kills a few Kig-Yar. As he drives across the bridge a pair of Hunters attacks him along with a Shade turret. He has some difficulty killing them due to the design of the bridge. When he finally kills them a pair of Sangheili try to kill him but fail. He gets close to a large door, gets out the Scorpion tank and opens it. He drives through and destroys a Ghost, and a squad of Covenant. As he drives up the snowy slope he is attacked by more Covenant forces. In the distance Master Chief can see a Spirit dropship deliver reinforcements. He destroys the reinforcements. Master Chief destroys a few Shade turrets on the top of the hill. He also destroys a Wraith. Master Chief kills another pair of Hunters. He drives near a cliff edge. On the bottom of the cliff there is trapped marines being attacked by Covenant. John takes out a few Shade turrets and some Covenant infantry. He drives down a few hills and eventually reaches the marines. He picks them up and attacks the Covenant. A Spirit dropship arrives with reinforcements and lands on top of the cliff. Master Chief comes across an area where he can't fit the tank through. So he gets out and as he is running along he suddenly hears a Special Operations Sangheili with an energy sword. Master Chief kills him. A large squad of Kig-Yar and Unggoy run away in circles. Master Chief kills them effortlessly. He moves up a hill and see a lot of Covenant occupying the area. He destroys a Banshee, two Ghosts and a lot of infantry. John destroys a Shade turret with a rocket launcher. He moves through a door way in the wall. He goes through and encounters sleeping Unggoy and John ignores them. He comes across a Sangheili. He kills him silently, but another Sangheili is walking around and notices Master Chief. He alerts the Unggoy. Master Chief kills the other Sangheili. But there are Unggoy everywhere around him. Master Chief has difficulty killing them but eventually gets it done. John moves through the area and finds an elevator. He activates it and is taken up.
When the elevator stops a Kig-Yar attempts to alert the other Covenant forces but is killed by Master Chief. He comes across two more Kig-Yar guarding a door way. He kills them both without alerting the Unggoy (unless one of the Kig-Yar fires his plasma pistol). Master Chief moves up and kills the Unggoy. But soon another Unggoy that is on guard duty spots the Master Chief. Several Unggoy swarm out of the middle room. A Sangheili Zealot tries to kill him. With some effort Master Chief kills him. John moves across a bridge with more sleeping Unggoy. He kills them silently kills them but a pair of Kig-Yar spot him. On the bridge next to him Unggoy attack him. Master Chief kills them and the Covenant on the bridge he is on. He is attacked by two Sangheili. He kills them and moves on. Then a Special Operations Sangheili comes out of the door on the other end of the bridge. The Master Chief is surprised but kills him easily. He moves through the door and two Sangheili patrol the area. He kills them both with ease.
In the next hallway he is attacked by more Unggoy. But Master Chief easily kills them. In the next room there is more Covenant. Again, he kills them easily. Master Chief moves to the next bridge and is attacked by Unggoy and Kig-Yar. But on the other bridge a pair of Hunter attacks him. Having some difficulty, the Master Chief quickly moves across the bridge. Master Chief moves in and there are even more Covenant guarding the area. He takes them out and moves into another hallway where he kills two Special Operations Sangheili. The next room is filled with a pair of Hunters. He kills them and quickly moves on. Master Chief finally gets outside and spots a Banshee. He sprints for it and gets control of it before the Sangheili does. There are Covenant forces shooting him all over the place. He takes out a few other Banshees and heads for a large structure. It looks similar to a pyramid. Master Chief flies for it and gets out of his Banshee. Cortana says that Covenant resistance was increasing. (If you don't get the Banshee then you will have to go through more hallways and rooms filled with Covenant) He opens a large door and heads inside. He kills more Covenant on the way. Master Chief opens another door. Master Chief and Cortana finally reached Halo's control room! He walks up to a panel and places Cortana in the terminal. Her hologram appears and she is changing colors. She says there was so much information she acquired. Master Chief asks what kind of weapon it is. She says that the Forerunners built the place. She was rambling on. Master Chief was confused. Cortana says that the Covenant something buried on the ring. But the Covenant were afraid. She suddenly panics and tells Master Chief to stop Captain Keyes from entering the Control Center. He asks her why but she rushes him out to stop him "before it's too late." The Master Chief not saying anything else runs from the control room.
Three marines are trapped near a Warthog that has been flipped over. A few Shade turrets, a few Ghosts and a Wraith are attacking them. Master Chief takes out the first Shade turret that is a few meters away from him. He runs for the trapped marines. He spots a few weapons he could use.

When the elevator stops a Kig-Yar attempts to alert the other Covenant forces but is killed by Master Chief. He comes across two more Kig-Yar guarding a door way. He kills them both without alerting the Unggoy (unless one of the Kig-Yar fires his plasma pistol). Master Chief moves up and kills the Unggoy.

He takes out a few other Banshees and heads for a large structure. It looks similar to a pyramid. Master Chief flies for it and gets out of his Banshee. Cortana says that Covenant resistance was increasing. (If you don't get the Banshee then you will have to go through more hallways and rooms filled with Covenant) He opens a large door and heads inside. He kills more Covenant on the way. Master Chief opens another door. Master Chief and Cortana finally reached Halo's control room! He walks up to a panel and places Cortana in the terminal. Her hologram appears and she is changing colors. She says there was so much information she acquired. Master Chief asks what kind of weapon it is. She says that the Forerunners built the place. She was rambling on. Master Chief was confused. Cortana says that the Covenant something buried on the ring. But the Covenant were afraid. She suddenly panics and tells Master Chief to stop Captain Keyes from entering the Control Center. He asks her why but she rushes him out to stop him "before it's too late." The Master Chief not saying anything else runs from the control room.
343 Guilty Spark
A Pelican drops Master Chief off in a swampy area. There is a crashed Pelican near their landing point. The pilot of the Pelcan that dropped of Master Chief said that the last transmission that came from Captain Keyes was twelve hours ago. He gets a distress beacon and the message says that Captain Keyes has been captured by hostile forces. Master Chief comes across the crashed Pelican. He picks up some ammo and moves on. He comes along a crashed Spirit. He kills a small squad of Unggoy and Kig-Yar. He carefully moves across a log bridge, then he spots strange figures on his right. But his motion tracker detects friendly forces ahead. As John moves to the other side of the log bridge he hears assault rifle shots and a fragmentation grenade destroys a Shade Turret. A squad or two of Covenant forces are retreating. Hoping that there are marines he gets to the top of the hill. There are no traces of marines there. He kills the Covenant that are fleeing and moves inside a structure. When he gets inside there is nothing to be seen. No bodies, no weapons. He spots an elevator and activates it. He moves through a series of corridors and enters another empty room. Soon after a small squad of Unggoy and Kig-Yar attack. John kills them and moves along. In the next set of rooms there are more empty room and unmanned Shade turrets. Master Chief encounters very little resistance. There are bodies (human and Covenant) and weapons laying around everywhere. The further he goes in the building the quieter it gets. All he hears is random noises, but nothing is there. It is too quiet. Master Chief activates a bridge and goes through a series of more corridors. He finds a marine backed up against a wall. The marine is screaming at the Master Chief not to turn him into one of those things. He also shoots at John. The Master Chief kills him to end his misery. He moves through several more corridors and comes across another door that he can't access. He carefully approaches the door. Master Chief was going to open the door by typing a command in it. Right before he does so he hears a strange noise. Master Chief of course turns around and checks for anything. There was nothing. He turns back to the door and opens it. A dead marines falls into his hands. He slowly walks in and puts the body on the ground. Master Chief picks up a helmet and puts a recorder chip in his own helmet. He is in perspective of Private Jenkins. It shows him and a squad of marines landing and moving into the structure. They head into the room where Master Chief currently is. Half of the squad stayed while the other half were sent to investigate. The half that was sent to investigate gathers around a dead Sangheili with his chest destroyed. Captain Keyes and his squad meet up with the other squad. They hear odd noises through out the room. A marine yells that they got contacts, but they aren't Covenant. They are being attacked by a unknown creature. Several small creatures attack them. After a few seconds of fighting, static fills the screen. Master Chief hears the noise again. He readies his gun. The same small creatures attack him as well. Several door bust open with several of these creatures. Then full grown bodies attack him. He recognizes them. They are the Flood. He fights off several waves of Flood. The door Master Chief entered finally opens and he quickly runs through. The next room is filled with Flood. He tries to kill them but is usually overrun by the Flood. He sprints through the rooms he already entered. Killing as much of the Flood as he can. He goes through several corridors and finds an elevator. He moves up only to find more Flood and Sangheili. He runs through these room and tries to kill them all. He finally gets to the other elevator and meets more marines. They assist him with killing the Flood. They head out of the structure and move through the swamp. More flood attack them. But Master Chief requests a pick up. As the marines and Master Chief move near a tower more Flood attack. But strange sounds are heard. Master Chief sees several floating objects firing gold lasers at the Flood. But there is one that isn't firing. It seems to be smaller then the other ones. The Master Chief slowly walks up to it. It introduces it self as 343 Guilty Spark, the Monitor of Installation 04. 343 Guilty Spark seems to be worried. He says that someone released the Flood. He required assistance. He then teleports Master Chief and himself away.
The Index (Hologram)
When 343 Guilty Spark teleports him and Master Chief he says that they need to find the Index. 343 Guilty Spark tells Master Chief to follow him. Master Chief quickly follows. He is soon attacked by several waves of Flood. He has to deal with several Carrier and Combat forms of Flood. He takes kills most of them and retreats from the rest. Then more Flood jump out of the ventilation shafts. Master Chief doesn't have time to deal with them all so he kills a few and runs into a donut shaped room. the Index is protected by an energy field. He quickly moves to a large door. The door is malfunctioning. So Guilty Spark (Monitor) moves through some vents to open the door. Each room has more and more waves of Flood. Master Chief is usually low on ammo and is running away from the Flood. As he progresses, a squad of Sentinels assist the Monitor and the master Chief by killing the Flood. He quickly moves through the swarm and steps onto a large elevator. He has three more floors to go before he can acquire the Index.
As Master Chief fights off more Flood, he moves deeper into the Library, the infection becomes worse because the Flood can destroy almost anything within hours, even minutes. Master Chief kills most of them. but when he is taking heavy damage he has to run away. the Monitor and Master Chief move up another floor. This floor is much worse than the second floor. Master Chief is overrun with unlimited waves of Flood. The Flood seem much more dangerous as well. Master Chief receives little help form the Sentinels. After barley makes it though and reaches the elevator. Master Chief finally reaches the fourth and final floor. He attacked by even more waves of Flood. Instead of taking time to kill them all, he decides to desperately runs away from the Flood. After a long journey, he gets to the final door. The door was jammed of course. So the Monitor goes through more vents. He opens the door. But only a small opening can be seen. Some Flood pour out. When the door finally opens Master Chief is attacked by massive forms of Flood. He has to retreat because his shields are down. He finally kills them. He heads through the door and many more waves of Flood attack. He can barley deal with them so he runs through. John meets up with the Monitor. A central elevator moves down to where the Index is. The energy field deactivates. the Monitor floats next to the Index. Master Chief slowly walks up to it. He puts his hand near it as if to grab the Index. The Index unlocks from its holster. Master Chief grabs it and gently holds it in his hands and inspects it. Then 343 Guilty Spark uses an sort of magnet to snatch it out of his hand. The Monitor says that he must have the Index for "protocol requirements." He took it just in case Master Chief gets infected by the Flood. The Monitor teleports himself and Master Chief to Halo's Control Room.

John fighting off Sentinels
Master Chief teleports to the control and walks over to the control panel. Master Chief thinks something is wrong and pauses for a moment. Since the Monitor can not activate Halo, he gives John the Index. Master Chief puts it in a slot and lights turn on the computer and suddenly fail. The Monitor says that was obviously wasn't meant to happen. Cortana suddenly appears as a hologram surprising the Monitor and John. She yelled at the Master Chief that she spent twelve hours watching Master Chief and the Monitor about to destroy everything. Master Chief tries to convince her that 343 Guilty Spark was a friend. Getting angrier she asks him what the Monitor almost made Master Chief do. Patiently and slowly he says that they need to activate Halo's defenses and destroy the Flood. And that is why they brought the Index to the control room. Then Cortana shows the Index as a hologram. The Monitor says that "constructs" are not allowed in the Core. Then the Monitor and Cortana start arguing. John gets impatient and stops the fight. This time he impatiently says that they need to activate Halo's controls to destroy the Flood. Cortana says that he has no idea why the Forerunners built Halo.
Cortana trying to convince John,
"Halo doesn't kill Flood, it kills their food. Humans, Covenant, whatever. We're all equally edible. The only way to stop the Flood is to starve them to death. And that's exactly what Halo is designed to do: Wipe the galaxy clean of all sentient life."
Master Chief asks the Monitor if what she said is true. The Monitor says that the radius of Halo is 25,000 light years. "The Galaxy will quite devoid of life or at least any life with sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood (343 Guilty Spark). Cortana detects movement. As 343 Guilty Spark is running his mouth Cortana urgently tells Master Chief to get out of there. Four Sentinels appear behind the Monitor. The Monitor orders the Sentinels to take his head. They suddenly start firing at him. Thankfully he goes behind a glass window. He has a shotgun and a Plasma Pistol. Since they are machines they can be deactivated via Plasma Rifle or Plasma Pistol. He uses a Plasma Pistol to easily destroy the Sentinels. Cortana tells John that they need to destroy Halo. What they would have to do is to create a large explosion. She accesses the Covenant battlenet to locate where the Pillar of Autumn's crash site is. She says that they can use the fusion reactors to destroy Halo. When he opens a door a wave of Covenant appear down the long hallway. They start charging but a group of Sentinels start attacking the Covenant. Sangheili, Unggoy and Kig-Yar start attacking the Sentinels. Master Chief decides to destroy the Sentinels first. He uses the Plasma Pistol to take them down. Master Chief kills the rest of the Covenant in the hallway. Cortana says that he has to destroy three pulse generators. When they are destroyed 343 Guilty Spark has to repair them. As he turns a corner more Sangheili assault him. But Master Chief kills them easily. He opens the next door and a squad of Unggoy and Kig-Yar are guarding the door. Master Chief kills them and moves on. Instead of flying out with a Banshee just like he came in, he has to run all the way down the Pyramid structure.
Master Chief fights and kills several Unggoy, Kig-Yar and Sangheili. When he gets near the bottom several squads of Unggoy, Kig-Yar and Sangheili including a Zealot protect a pair of Banshees. A Wraith also attack Master Chief. John has a lot of trouble killing all of them. He finds a rocket launcher. He fires at the Sangheili first. He kills about half of them with it. John saves a few rockets for the Wraith and kills the rest of the infantry with the Shotgun. He fires at the Wraith and destroys it. Master Chief takes one of the Banshees and heads for the first pulse generator. When he lands he goes through a few hallways and finds it. Fighting two Unggoy and a Sangheili on the platform. Cortana says that center core is a signal amplifier. But Master Chief would have to use his own shields to deliver an Electro Magnetic Pulse to destroy the generator. The only downside is that it will drain his shields and leave him vulnerable to attack. He deactivates it and is attacked by several Sentinels. The Sentinels comes out of the vents and continuously attack him. He runs for the door. John gets in his Banshee and escapes. He flies for the ice bridge where a squad of Covenant block the way in. On the side that he supposed to enter a Unggoy with a fuel rod provides anti air for the Covenant. Master Chief fires a fuel rod cannon on his Banshee at them. After he kills them he lands and goes through the door. He kills a squad of Covenant inside the structure. He goes through several hallways filled with Covenant. But suddenly he encounters the Flood again and the Flood is trying to kill the Covenant and Master Chief. The doors he has to go through have arrows. The arrows point to the direction to get outside. But since he needs to go deeper into the facility he goes through the doors with the arrows that point to the exit of the structure.
John runs across a bridge filled with Covenant and Flood. There is a bridge across the one he is standing on. From there the Flood jump from there the Flood jump all the way across to attack Master Chief and the Covenant. He goes through several more hallways filled with Flood. He crosses another bridge with Flood pouring on to the bridge from the adjacent bridge. Master Chief head through several more hallways and finds an elevator and it moves down. Several infection forms fall with him. In the next room there are more Flood that he has to kill. The Flood are attacking John faster then they are dying. He goes through one more hallway a finds himself outside. There is a Ghost flipped over and a few Sangheili. A Wraith is shooting at Master Chief from long range while another Ghost is attacking. Soon after he is attacked by a Banshee. Master Chief runs for the Ghost and speeds past all the Covenant forces into a cave. After John goes through the cave he can barley see anything. He drives near a crashed Warthog and drives his Ghost up a ledge. Master Chief spots a few Banshees. But they are being guarded by a squad of Covenant, including a Shade turret. He quickly drives his Ghost to the Banshees and steals one. He flies out of the area barley escaping. Master Chief flies to the top of the structure in the middle of the canyon and several Sangheili and Unggoy with fuel rods shoot at him. John kills the Sangheili and lands his Banshee on a platform. He goes through a hallway and hears fire power. Sentinels are attacking the Flood. He takes care of the Sentinels first then the Flood. Then Master Chief goes up next to the Pulse generator and uses his shields to destroy it. His final objective is to destroy the last Pulse generator. Then several waves of Flood pour out of his exit. Since Master Chief can't leave them, he has to kill them. When he does he gets back in his Banshee and flies toward the tunnels underground. When he reaches the ice cave there is a major fight between the Covenant and the Flood. Master Chief ignores them and keeps flying. But there are several Combat forms of Flood with rocket launchers. Master Chief kills them with the Banshee's fuel rod cannon. He comes across a large door and opens it. The door explodes and only a small section opens. A few Combat forms come out and attack followed by Carriers. Master Chief takes care of them easily and notices that the large room is too quiet. John runs across a bridge where suddenly a lot of Flood start attacking. He destroys them and moves across the bridge where more Flood attack. He opens the next door and moves through. He moves up the hill and heads outside where there is a massive battle between the Flood and the Covenant. A Banshee spots Master Chief and attacks but is soon destroyed. Because of that the Flood notice him and attack him. Several with rocket launchers and more with variety of weapons. After John deals with them he kills the Covenant and destroys a Shade turret. He takes a Ghost and drives away. Again, he finds more Covenant fighting off the Flood, but he ignores them.
Master Chief boosts himself up on a small ledge and gets out of his Ghost. He spots another massive battle. He gets back into his Ghost and speeds towards the battle. John notices a Banshee and drives up next to it and takes the Banshee nearly getting killed by the two Wraiths. He flies toward the third Pulse generator. When he arrives there is a group of Sentinels protecting the platform. Master Chief kills them easily and moves into the structure. When he gets inside he faces several Sentinels guarding the last Pulse generator. Master Chief destroys them with some difficulty and destroys the generator. Master Chief suggests that they get out of there and find Captain Keyes. But Cortana figures out how to work the teleportation system. She says that it will take away a lot of energy from him, which is why she couldn't teleport Master Chief to the Pulse generators. She says that they should only try it once. Master Chief tells her to do it. She teleports Master Chief away from the Pulse generator.

Proto-Gravemind
Master Chief is teleported aboard the Truth and Reconciliation. He was on the roof of the ship and suddenly fell over because he was upside down. The ship is heavily damaged and is mostly taken over by the Flood. Cortana said that the Covenant's "leadership" ordered all ships to abandon Halo when the Flood was discovered. She says they were too late to do as they were told. Cortana also said that the Covenant paranoid that the Flood will repair the ship and use it to escape Halo, therefore spreading the Flood infection. The Covenant sent in special forces to destroy the Flood and repair the ship themselves. She then detects that Captain Keyes is alive. As Master Chief moves down the destroyed hallway he gets a signal from Captain Keyes telling John to leave him. He faces some Covenant resistance. Then as he goes through a door there is a huge hole in the ship's floor. They have to find another way around, but Flood pour out of a small hole in the ceiling behind him. Cortana says that they should jump into the coolant which would cushion his fall.
He jumps and lands underwater. When he slowly gets out of the coolant he is engaged by Flood and Covenant. He has to move fast so he kills them quickly. But he has to find another way into the ship because he had to jump down. He picks up a shotgun which makes his job a lot easier. John comes across a large area where there is a lot of coolant and a lot of Carrier forms of the Flood. On the Covenant side there Sangheili, Unggoy and Hunters. Master Chief picks up a sniper and takes out the Covenant. Then he takes care of the Flood and retreats from the area. In the next area he is attacked by a Shade turret and waves of Flood. He gets in the Shade turret and shoots the rest of the Flood. He goes through really dark areas and finally discovers the gravity lift. Once again there is a battle between the Flood and Covenant. He rushes for the hill that contains the gravity lift. He kills the Covenant on the hill and gets in the gravity lift. He finally enters the Truth and Reconciliation but unusually its too quiet. There are only a few infection forms attacking him. As Master Chief moves through he fights the Flood in the hallways. He has to go downstairs to get to the next area. He faces more Flood on the way. When he gets to the bottom floor he is attacked by a lot of Flood. Master Chief notices that there are a lot of bodies in the corners of the room. He quickly moves through more hallways. He is attacked by Flood and Covenant. Several Sangheili try to kill him, but Master Chief is too quick for them. Master Chief has to move faster because Captain Keyes is dying.
John moves through several more hallways and Cortana and Master Chief hear him dying. Master Chief goes through a few more hallways and walks up a ramp to find Captain Keyes. They found him inside a proto-gravemind, dead. Cortana detected no human life. The Captain was one of them one of the Flood. Master Chief stabs his fist into Captain Keyes skull and rips out his neural implants and inserting them into his helmet. Master Chief has to escape. He has to escape with a ship. But several waves of Flood come out of multiple doors and block any possible way of escape. Master Chief defends himself in the control room. When the room seemed clear he moved for the exit. Master Chief enters another room filled with Covenant. John kills them all and spots a Banshee on the bottom of the room. He jumps for on top of a Spirit on the second floor and jumps to the Banshee on the bottom floor. He gets in the Banshee and flies away from the infected Covenant ship.

He jumps for on top of a Spirit on the second floor and jumps to the Banshee on the bottom floor. He gets in the Banshee and flies away from the infected Covenant ship.
Pillar of Autumn
Master Chief flies toward the Pillar of Autumn's crash site. It created a giant crater while flooding made a canyon, deforming the coastline. As he flies his Banshee toward it Cortana yells at Master Chief that the docking bay is falling apart. He still flies toward t and crashes his Banshee at the last second before getting out. He gets inside the ship and there is nothing, yet. Cortana says that they can use Captain Keyes neural implants to to overload the ships engines, therefore causing a massive explosion destroying Installation 04. He has to go to the ships bridge in order to do so. After he goes through maintenance hallways infection forms of the Flood attack him. He Master Chief slides down the ladder and discovers the Covenant, Flood and Sentinels attacking each other. Then after John clears out that room Flood start pounding on the door. The door dents and explodes revealing a ton of Flood combat forms and infection forms. Every door he goes through has more Flood. But soon Master Chief fights a pair of Hunters. Master Chief also comes across Sangheili with black armor. These Sangheili are the Special Operations Sangheili with different colored armor. John goes through the mess hall killing a squad of Covenant special forces. He finds the bridge and several Unggoy with fuel rods. Every time he kills one the fuel rod blows up at a random time. Master Chief kills the Sangheili and cautiously walks inside.
Master Chief takes Cortana's data chip and inserts it into a terminal. Master Chief suddenly sees "Self Destruct Sequence Initiated" with a timer counting down. Right before Master Chief was going to grabs Cortana's data chip they were interrupted by a familiar voice, 343 Guilty Spark. The Monitor kept talking about human history and finally stopped the timer. The Monitor acknowledges Master Chief as a "Reclaimer." 343 Guilty Spark asks John why he is trying to destroy Halo. The Monitor was interrupted because Cortana turned off the communications. John asks Cortana where the Monitor is. Cortana detected Sentinels all over the ship and detected the Monitor in Engineering because he was going to take the Pillar of Autumn's core offline. For the first time Cortana didn't know what to do. Master Chief also asks how much firepower it would take to destroys the shields of the engines. She says that a grenade would do the job. When she asks why she sees Master Chief tossing a grenade in his hand. Then four Sentinels approach and attack John. John takes care of them and moves on. Cotana suggests that he goes for the Cryo chamber to get to the Engine Room. Master Chief is attacked by infinite amounts of Flood and Sentinels. Some Covenant forces attack as well. Before he enters the Engine room he spots a arrow on the ground that points to an armory.
He hurries inside and picks up a rocket launcher and some shotgun ammo. Suddenly he is hit by something. That something was invisible Combat Flood forms. There was about a wave or two of these unusual types of Flood. He quickly moves on to the Engine room. Cortana says that they need to pull back the exhaust couplings which will reveal a shaft that leads to a primary fusion drive core. Master Chief gets to the top of the room and activates the exhaust coupling. He jumps onto the pillar that connected with the primary drive core. When the shaft opened he fired a rocket launcher into it and destroyed it. They need to destroy three more. But of course the Flood start pouring inside from all directions. Sentinels now accompany 343 Guilty Spark and destroy the Flood and shoot at John. When John destroys another Engine more and more Flood mindlessly attack. Master Chief finally destroys the other two Engines and explosions rock the ship. Cortana says that they need to get outside and call for evacuation. Master Chief quickly runs through a few hallways and reaches the elevator. It brings down a squad of Covenant. Master Chief easily takes care of them with a rocket launcher. He gets in the elevator and it moves up. Cortana contacts Echo 419 to pick them up when they get Cortana's signal. The elevator finally stops and he finds a Warthog. Cortana says the explosion will reach 100,000,000 (100 million) degrees. Master Chief drives through Flood, Covenant and Sentinels.
They have five minutes to get to the evacuation site. Master Chief has to drive for one kilometer to get there. Several Spirits try to kill him but Master Chief evades them with ease. Unlimited waves of Flood try to attack him but Master Chief runs them over. The Sentinels make his job harder because the lasers push his Warthog off course. When he finally gets to the evacuation site they spot Echo 419. But she is chased by two Banshees. An explosion rocks the Pelican. She loses control as she barley missed the platform. Master Chief watches as the Pelican crashes into the hull of the ship. He has two minutes to get to the last Longsword fighter still docked. Master Chief drives as fast as he can. Sentinels, Covenant and Flood prevent him from going faster. He finally reaches a massive gap. John barley clears the gap. he keeps driving until he spots the longsword. But several crates barricade the way. John is forced to run for it. He only has thirty seconds left. Master Chief drops his weapon and sprints as fast as he can for the ship. Master Chief closes the ramp and runs for the ships controls. He activates the ship with Flood crawling all around it. The ship lifts up and he speeds away. Then a light is spotted on Halo. It grows bigger and bigger until the computer screen says that the Engines temperature was critical. Cortana tells him to shut them down. Master Chief walks over to the window and looks at the Halo. It was breaking into pieces, pieces flying and destroying the other side of the Halo. Halo has been destroyed. He asks Cortana if anyone else made it. She sadly says that they were the only one left. Master Chief sits. Cortana says that Halo was finished because they destroyed the Covenant and the Flood, to protect Earth. Master Chief says,
"No... I think we're just getting started." As he says that he takes off his helmet.
Master Chief takes Cortana's data chip and inserts it into a terminal. Master Chief suddenly sees "Self Destruct Sequence Initiated" with a timer counting down. Right before Master Chief was going to grabs Cortana's data chip they were interrupted by a familiar voice, 343 Guilty Spark. The Monitor kept talking about human history and finally stopped the timer. The Monitor acknowledges Master Chief as a "Reclaimer." 343 Guilty Spark asks John why he is trying to destroy Halo. The Monitor was interrupted because Cortana turned off the communications. John asks Cortana where the Monitor is. Cortana detected Sentinels all over the ship and detected the Monitor in Engineering because he was going to take the Pillar of Autumn's core offline.

Threshold
As Halo is breaking apart, 343 Guilty Spark stares at his Installation. He then scans for any forms of life. The Monitor scans Threshold, a gas mine. He flies toward it. When he finally gets to it he gets inside and finds a Kig-Yar beating a Unggoy. The Monitor greets himself, but he is interrupted when a Kig-Yar attacks him. The Monitor kills him with a red laser. Another Kig-Yar tries to fire a charged plasma pistol but it was absorbed by his shields. The Monitor kills the Kig-Yar. Another Kig-Yar tries to charge a plasma pistol but his hand is cut off by a Sangheili. The Sangheili offers his life for the dishonor. He also says that he will kill the other who tried to attack. He is interrupted when 343 Guilty Spark says that their species has grown "dramatic" in the past 100,000 years. The Monitor forgives him and requests for no more deaths. He wants to contain the Flood as quickly as he can. The Monitor asks to speak with their commander. The Monitor meets Sesa 'Refumee. Sesa was surprised to see him. He says that they rescued an "Oracle" from the violation of the "holy temple," and that the "Prophets" will be pleased. The Monitor asks why he calls it a temple, and says that his Installation was a weapon. Sesa thought that the ring was salvation. 343 Guilty Spark was confused. He said that whoever told him that was a fool or was mad. He told Sesa that it was designed to kill everything the Flood fed on' like humans or the Covenant. The Monitor says that even if one Flood spore survived, then he would have to destroy all sentient life. The Monitor assumes that Sesa knew all this. He ordered the communication to be shut down, and they will not notify the "Prophets" until hears everything the Monitor has to say. 343 Guilty Spark will gladly share anything that he is permitted. He says that what has been released could destroy everything Sesa has ever known. Sesa agrees, he walks deep into the facility with 343 Guilty Spark.
