''The Harbinger teleports away just as the Chief breaks free of the armor lock. He jumps to his feet and charges at the Harbinger, but she continues to teleport away from him, moving closer and closer to the Conservatory's exit each time.

''Scene shifts back to third-person. The Chief moves up to the edge of the platform as he searches for the Harbinger. She appears to his right and swipes at him with her right hand, which is now charged with energy again. He ducks just in time. She vanishes, only to reappear directly in front of him, both her hands charged with energy this time. Before he can react, she strikes him with her left fist. The resulting energy blast sends the Chief flying off the ledge and out of the Conservatory.''
''Scene shifts back to third-person. The Chief rushes to the exit. He aims his weapon as he searches for the Harbinger. She suddenly appears on his right and swipes at him with her right hand, which is now charged with energy again. He ducks just in time.

As he looks around for his opponent, the giant Forerunner structure behind him suddenly activates and begins to transform.''
