The three Spartans assemble and fight a swarm of charging Covenant, Anton using a minigun, the other two with assault rifles. Anton fights a Mgalekgolo approaching him, and when his machine gun fails to do anything to it, kills it with a pair of pistols piercing its weak points. Isaac, however, is trying hard to not be overrun, but ends up being killed by a Sangheili with an energy sword, though he uses his last seconds to draw a grenade and takes the Elite with him. Both Anton and Malcolm witness this, unable to help him.

At this point, the Scarab has finally arrived, and it begins firing at the two Spartans before being distracted by a Warthog. Thinking of a way to destroy it, Malcolm spots a Banshee overhead and has Anton gets its attention, while he also gets the attention of the Scarab. As the two prepare to destroy him, Malcolm snipes off the Banshee's stabilizer, sending it crashing into the Scarab. Both explode, and Anton uses his armor lock to survive the blast.
