The Great Journey: Difference between revisions

[[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], reunited with [[Rtas 'Vadum]] and a [[Special Operations Sangheili]], heads to the "[[Bastion of the Brutes]]" to take control of a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]]. Defeating numerous [[Type-32 Rapid Attack Vehicle|Ghost]]s and three [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]]s, they reach the far end of the canyon, finding another Special Operations Sangheili as well as a [[Mgalekgolo]] pair. 'Vadum leaves the team to take control of a cruiser, while the Arbiter and the other Sangheili and Mgalekgolo continue on, freeing several imprisoned [[Sangheili Councilor]]s and more Mgalekgolo. They reach a landing pad, and stop a [[pack]] of [[Jiralhanae]] from executing [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson]], [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Stacker]] and [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Banks]]. While the [[Swords of Sanghelios|Sangheili]] kill the Brutes, Johnson takes his chance and commandeers the Scarab. Forming an unexpected alliance, 'Vadam takes a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] and escorts the Johnson and the Scarab to [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]]'s [[Control room]].  Johnson uses the Scarab's [[focus cannon|main cannon]] to destroy the Control room's door. 'Vadam then enters the Control Room and confronts [[Tartarus]], who is trying to force Miranda Keyes to activate Halo. Backed up by Johnson, 'Vadam gets 343 Guilty Spark to reveal Halo's true purpose to everyone.  However, Tartarus refuses to accept the truth and forces [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]] to activate the ring. With no other choice, 'Vadam battles and kills the Chieftain.  Keyes removes the [[Activation Index]], stopping the ring from firing, but activating a fail safe mechanism in the process. Explained by [[343 Guilty Spark]], the fail-safe of the ring sends a signal to the [[Installation 00|Ark]], where all Halos will be activated from. Meanwhile, [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] returns to Earth onboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], ready to finish the fight.
