On [[High Charity]], the [[Prophets]] have stripped the [[Elites]] of their role as the [[Prophets]]' protectors in the wake of [[Regret]]'s death and give the honor to the Brutes, causing more discord inside the Covenant. The [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] has returned and is sent by the Prophets to Delta Halo with a new mission - to lower the contamination shields surrounding the ring's [[Library]] and retrieve the "[[Sacred Icon]]" located within. The icon is actually an object called The [[Index]], which is needed in order to activate the ring. Once the shields are lowered, it is revealed to the Covenant forces that [[the Flood]] have been released.

The [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] has returned and is sent by the Prophets to Delta Halo with a new mission - to lower the contamination shields surrounding the ring's [[Library]] and retrieve the "[[Sacred Icon]]" located within. The icon is actually an object called The [[Index]], which is needed in order to activate the ring. Once the shields are lowered, it is revealed to the Covenant forces that [[the Flood]] have been released. However, the Arbiter has to press forward, aided by [[Tartarus]]. To further complicate things, the humans are also heading for the [[Library]] to retrieve the [[Index]] before the [[Covenant]] do so they will be unable to use it. Amidst the chaos of the fighting [[Covenant]], [[Humans]], and [[Flood]], the [[Arbiter]] eventually reaches the Library. Johnson and Keyes have got there first and seize the [[Index]], forcing the [[Arbiter]] to combat them, knocking them both unconscious. After retrieving the [[Index]], [[Tartarus]] takes it from The Arbiter and has his [[Brutes]] surround him. The Arbiter objects, saying the [[Prophets]] will not stand for his actions, to which Tartarus laughs, informing him that the [[Prophets]] sent him to kill the [[Arbiter]]. [[Tartarus]] then blasts the Arbiter into the seemingly bottomless core of the [[Library]] and takes [[Keyes]] and [[Johnson]] captive. | ||
In the next cut-scene, the Master Chief regains consciousness to find himself caught in green vine-looking tentacles. The Arbiter is also being held next to him, struggling to break free. A giant hideous being known as the [[Gravemind]], a highly intelligent form of the Flood, holds the two captive. He comments on the differences between Humans and Elites and informs the Arbiter of the Prophets' treachery and Halo's true nature, to which the Arbiter still refuses to believe. The creature then reveals that he has [[Prophet Form|reanimated the corpse]] of the Prophet of Regret as part of himself. He also has with him [[2401 Penitent Tangent]], the monitor of Delta Halo. 2401 and Regret argue about the truth behind the "Great Journey", Regret saying it will bring salvation while 2401 disagrees with the Covenant's responsibility in handling Halo and the Flood. Gravemind says that the Covenant will not find the salvation they are looking for. Master Chief backs this up, telling the Arbiter that Halo is a weapon. When the Arbiter still finds this hard to accept, Gravemind says he will show him the truth and transports both the Master Chief and the Arbiter to separate places where they will likely find the Prophet of Truth and the Index. It is now that the Arbiter truly realizes the Elites have been betrayed. | In the next cut-scene, the Master Chief regains consciousness to find himself caught in green vine-looking tentacles.
