As the war neared its end, most of John's fellow SPARTAN-IIs were killed in action during the [[Fall of Reach]]. However, John and his AI companion [[Cortana]] fled [[Reach]] and [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|their vessel]] fortuitously arrived at [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 04]], a one hundred millennia-old superweapon created by the [[Forerunner]]s to destroy their parasitic enemy, the [[Flood]], by killing all life in the galaxy. After destroying the Halo, the surrounding Covenant [[Fleet of Particular Justice|fleet]], and the Flood forces on the ring, John returned to [[Earth]] and resisted the Covenant's [[Battle of Earth|impromptu invasion]]. Pursuing the [[Solemn Penance|invaders' flagship]], the Master Chief encountered [[Installation 05]], where a [[Great Schism|civil war]] soon broke out within the Covenant. Weeks later, John followed the remaining Covenant forces to [[Installation 00|the Ark]], the Halo Array's control center, which he disabled before the Halos could be fired. | As the war neared its end, most of John's fellow SPARTAN-IIs were killed in action during the [[Fall of Reach]].
