2552: Difference between revisions

[[Gravemind]] reveals itself as the Flood intelligence of Delta Halo.He sends both the Master Chief and the Arbiter on a secret mission. Master Chief is teleported to the Covenant holy city, High Charity in pursuit of the High Prophets of Truth and Mercy, who have in their possesion the Index. The Arbiter is teleported near the control room; cutting a path toward it through the Brutes guarding the way. The Drones and jackals ally themselves with the Brutes and Prophets, putting themselves against the Grunts, Elites, and Hunters in their new Civil War. The Master Chief's pursuit of the Prophets comes to no avail; Truth has left with the index. Chief is told by the Prophet of Mercy that the Prophet of Truth intends to go to Earth and finish what they had started. the Master Chief fights his way through wave after wave of flood, looking for the forerunner ships energy-transfer unit. The Spartan gets caught in the transfer field, and is thrown into the ship seconds away from launching. As he is jettisoned the Arbiter finds himself locked in combat with Tarturus, killing him but failing to stop him from activating Halo. Miranda Keyes removes the Index before the ring manages to fire, cancelling it's destructive wave but sending a signal out that activates all the remaining installations in the galaxy, as well as all Sheild Worlds (such as Onyx). She, Johnson, and the Arbiter call a truce to their rivalry in order to seek out the Ark that 343 Guilty Spark informs them of.
