Corbulo's officer cadets were caught off-guard by this attack. General Black was killed within minutes of the attack; [[Colonel]] [[K.L. Mehaffey]] attempted to organize the surviving cadets inside the tunnels, though she too was quickly killed. Covenant forces soon overwhelmed the ODSTs and Marines, and proceeded to annihilate the planet's entire population, with only four Cadets [[April Orenski]], [[Thomas Lasky]], [[Chyler Silva]], and [[Michael Sullivan]] left alive. SPARTAN-II [[Blue Team]] were then subsequently deployed in response to the cadets' distress beacon. Spartan [[John-117]] infiltrated the besieged school and arrived just in time to rescue the surviving cadets from a [[Unidentified Sangheili Zealot|Sangheili Zealot]]. After contacting Kelly-087 and arranging for a Pelican extraction, John-117 broke open the cadets' weapons lockers and allowed the cadets to arm themselves.<ref name="part4">'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''Part 4''</ref>

The Spartan led the survivors to the academy's exterior, where they were ambushed by [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s. Cadet Sullivan was wounded during the firefight, but survived. After dispatching the snipers, they retreated from the combat zone in General Black's personal [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]].{{Ref/Reuse|part4}} During the drive, however, they came under heavy fire from more Kig-Yar and were eventually forced to abandon their vehicle. Silva was killed by a [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|~~Needler~~]] round, and the rest of the group was attacked by a pair of [[Mgalekgolo]]. John-117 depleted all his ammunition killing one of the Mgalekgolo, leaving him with only a single grenade. He decided to take on the remaining Mgalekgolo alone, buying the surviving cadets time to escape. However, Cadet Lasky volunteered to distract the alien while John-117 got into position. Lasky successfully drew the Mgalekgolo's fire, allowing John to plant the grenade under its armor. The resulting detonation blew the Mgalekgolo to pieces.

As morning arrived, the survivors reached Blue Team's Pelican just as the Covenant began glassing the planet. Impressed by Lasky's actions, John-117 gave him [[keepsake|a fragment]] of the Mgalekgolo's armor.<ref name="part5">'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''Part 5''</ref>
