Editing Halo: Uprising

Meanwhile, [[James Ackerson|Colonel James Ackerson]] is being interrogated by the [[Jiralhanae]] aboard the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Triumphant Declaration]]''. He is about to be killed when he coaxingly states that if "''The Covenant attack Earth...they will never find the key.''" The [[Jiralhanae Captain|Brute Captain]] interrogating Ackerson uses [[Jiralhanae combat knife|a knife]] to lacerate Ackerson until he reveals more information. Ackerson states that this key, if not found, will force [[Halo Array|the Halos]] to malfunction "''like they did before''". He also calls the key the "[[Key of Osanalan]]" and tells that it is hidden in the city of [[Cleveland]]. Ackerson then loses consciousness, leaving the Brutes confused and worried.

On Earth, a new character named [[Ruwan Ackerson|Ruwan]] is introduced. He serves as a concierge for a high-line motel in Cleveland as it is attacked by the Covenant. He meets [[Myras Tyla]], a performer staying there. The two evade the Covenant through the city, but are finally caught and herded together with what seems to be most of the population of the area into [[Jacobs Field]], where the Covenant declare that to live they must find and give to them the Key of Osanalan. Myras is confused, but Ruwan states with certainty that he "''knows exactly what that is.''" Suddenly, the Covenant herding the humans at the stadium are attacked by [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] rappelling down from [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]]. As everyone flees, Myras and Ruwan escape, whilst Myras questions how she had lived her life, and blames it all on her boyfriend, [[Philip]]. With twisted fervor, she pushes herself to escape, while thinking of spending a new life with Ruwan. They escape together, riding a [[M831 Troop Transport|Warthog]] to safety. They head to an old section of the city not under attack. They help themselves to some supplies on the Warthog, and set up a little camp for themselves. They chatted a while, but a [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] appears. After they drive to safety, Ruwan and Myra are saved by a team of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and escape the city in a [[Pelican]].

John-117, in the meantime, finds himself faced by an extremely large force of Covenant troops. He falls to the floor after being hit by several [[assault cannon]] beams, and is confronted by a [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]] who begins to interrogate him about the Key of Osanalan. However, the Spartan sticks the Brute with a [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenade]] and escapes. The Chief then continues his push through the ship, eventually arriving in the Prophet's chambers and setting his sights on the Prophet. He holds up his [[Type-51 Carbine|carbine]], sights the Prophet and fires a round. However, the Prophet is protected by [[energy shielding|shields]] and the Spartan is shot in the back by a [[Kig-yar|Jackal]]. He falls and lands right in front of the Prophet's Brute guards. While the Chief manages to get several shots at Truth, he soon makes his escape, as the Chief is left to fight the guards. He kills them all and starts to find a way off the ship.
