Spark was reunited with the Chief along with Johnson and the Arbiter in the new Installation 04's control room, where he informed them that the ring was almost complete, but not yet ready to fire. However, despite Spark's panicked warnings that a premature activation would result in the destruction of the Ark (and, more importantly to Spark, the new Halo ring), Johnson ignored him, determined to destroy the Gravemind and the Flood once and for all. Unable to accept that his new installation was about to be destroyed, an enraged Spark fired upon Johnson as he attempted to activate the ring, mortally wounding him. Seeing John run towards his fallen comrade, the Monitor then fired upon him and the Arbiter, knocking the Arbiter out of the room and sealing the door behind him. The Master Chief was left to face the Monitor alone. | Spark was reunited with the Chief along with Johnson and the Arbiter in the new Installation 04's control room, where he informed them that the ring was almost complete, but not yet ready to fire.
