Battle of the Quarantine Zone: Difference between revisions

|casual1=All Brutes, some Elites

The [[Arbiter]] was sent to the surface of Delta Halo to retrieve the Sacred Icon. The Arbiters main objective was to lower the containment sheilds to allow more Covenant warriors to enter the Quarantined Zone. After he lowered the Containment shield, the Flood were allowed to roam freely along [[Delta Halo]]. The Humans of [[In Amber Clad]] that were searching for the [[Index]] were surprised by this and most of them were assimilated by the Flood, enlarging their numbers. The new Human Flood learned to use their vehicles as well: [[Scorpions]] and [[Warthogs]]. The Covenant warriors who were sent to retrieve the Index were assimilated as well by the Flood. With this, the Flood had even more vehicles: [[Wraith]]s and [[Ghost]]s. Despite this new and surprising defense, the Arbiter and his squad of [[SpecOps Elite]]s were able to battle their way trough the countless Flood and Sentinels. After a series of battles the Arbiter regrouped with [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] and followed the Humans with a gondola that was headed towards the Library. Rtas 'Vadumee stayed didn't board the gondola, and he stayed behind to keep the flood away from the gondola. Along the ride, the Arbiter and the squad of SpecOps Elites were attacked by numerous waves of Flood and supported by a brute-controlled Phantom before they turned against the Arbiter.

Once the Arbiter and his squad arrived at the Library, the Humans were already inside. The Arbiter's squad of Elites were left behind to guard the gondola since it was their only way out. On his way to the Index he found the dead bodies of [[Perez (Marine)|Corporal Perez]], [[McKenzie (Marine)|Private McKenzie]], and a few other nameless marines killed by Flood Infection Forms.

The Arbiter found the Humans ([[Miranda Keyes]],and [[Sergeant Johnson]]), who had retrieved the Index seconds before the Arbiter arrived. The Arbiter head-butted Johnson which knocked out but, before he could get to Miranda, [[Tartarus]] showed up along with a squad of brutes and, using his [[Gravity Hammer]], knocked out Miranda and took the index from her. He then blasted the Arbiter off the edge of the platform where the Index was stored, leading Tartarus to make the assumption that he was dead, but was soon teleported by Gravemind.
