'''Escape''' is the fifteenth and final level of ''[[Halo Wars]]''.

*'''Jerome-092''': "Sergeant!"

''Forge stops working on the reactor and turns his head towards the Spartans: Numerous [[Stealth Sangheili]] deactivating their camouflage are charging towards them, holding [[energy stave]]s. The Marine lieutenant screams.''

*'''Forge''': "Take care of those Elites! ''He's mine''."

''Forge releases the transport's safety locks, tilting the transport's platform, and sending the reactor down the ramp to crush the Arbiter, who attempts to push it back. Red Team gets in position to engage the incoming Sangheili.''

''Jerome kills the first Sangheili with a shot from his [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|shotgun]]; [[Douglas-042]] and [[Alice-130]] pitch into other two Sangheili and kill them with their [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMGs]]. Alice manages to grab a stave from another attacker as Douglas shoots him and she then finishes him off. A Sangheili attempts to impale Douglas but is quickly dispatched while another's spear is stopped by him and cut in half by Alice's; Jerome quickly reloads his shotgun and kills the unarmed Sangheili, while Douglas and Alice throw two staves and impale two Sangheili from the distance.''  

''Meanwhile, Forge heads to the gap between the Apex's door and the reactor. He finds out 'Moramee had evaded the reactor's blow and realizes the latter's behind him, camouflaged with two Energy Swords. Forge barely dodges an Energy Sword's lunge, and the Energy Sword impales the FTL drive instead. The Arbiter lets go of the stuck sword. Forge manages to hit the Arbiter, evade and face him. As Moramee advances, Forge starts shooting him with his [[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System|MA5B]] but to no effect; the Arbiter tries to hit him again with a sword's slash which Forge avoids, but manages to destroy his Assault Rifle with a second hit. Forge charges at the Arbiter and they fall on the floor; Moramee tries to raise his right arm to kill Forge with his sword, but the Sergeant blocks it by using his body mass, then hits Moramee's head with his elbow and manages to disarm him of his sword by shooting the Arbiter's hand with his [[M6C Personal Defense Weapon System|M6C]]. Moramee immediately grabs Forge with his left hand, strikes him to the ground and punches him in the stomach. Forge flinches from the blow.''

*'''Ripa 'Moramee''': "My face will be the last thing your pathetic eyes would ever see."

''Just as 'Moramee raises his sword for the kill, Forge drives his [[combat knife]] into his opponent's neck. 'Moramee gasps in surprise and pain and drops his sword; Forge picks it up and uses it to impale the wounded Arbiter, who dies. Red Team arrive at the scene, and holster their weapons as the Arbiter closes his eyes.''

*'''Forge''': "And for the record, I would have kicked your ass the [[Anders' Signal|first time]], if the lady hadn't stopped me!"

*'''Jerome-092''': "Sir, it's already overheating. I'll have to separate the core and align them manually when they need to blow."

*'''Jerome-092''': "Good luck, sir. It's been an honor."

''The Spartan and Forge stare at each other as the elevator's door close and salute with a nod. Forge looks up the ceiling, which opens. He begins his ascent while looking at the artificial sun. Cuts to black.''

*'''Serina''': "Closing your eyes might help, too."

''The ''Spirit of Fire'' accelerates towards the artificial sun as several pieces of the planet are pulled into it. The ship circles perilously close to the sun, burning it's edges as blinding light floods into the bridge. ''Spirit of Fire'' successfully slingshots around the sun and accelerates through the exit passage. It bursts out of the planet just as it begins to collapse. As the ship speeds away the planet begins to implode, then suddenly explodes outward along its horizontal axis. Fades to black as pieces of debris are thrown into space.''

*'''Anders''': "Not all of us, Captain. Not all of us."

''Her chamber's cover closes and she immediately falls asleep. Frost forms on Anders face. Cutter walks to the chamber beside Anders' and closes it, empty. Cutter gives the chamber a nod of respect. Its designated occupant's name is revealed by the name on the chamber's cover: SGT. J. FORGE. Fades to black.''

*The [[Forerunner symbols]] on the projected blue floors are the numbers 1-5 from the [[Iris]] campaign. After 5, the symbol for 3 is repeated.

*It is possible to "kill" any, if not all, members of [[Red Team]] by opening a door whilst they are standing on it, one will see the Spartans fall to their deaths.

*In the center of the level, there is a structure similar to a [[Sentinel factory]] or [[Protector plant]]. It produces Protectors in groups of three most of the time, and the Covenant will battle with the Sentinels if contact is made.

*Once the player has beaten the game on Legendary, the Legendary ending will play every time, regardless of difficulty. Also, if the player skips the credits when playing on Legendary, it will skip ahead to Serina's Legendary dialogue, rather than skipping it too.
