During the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in [[2552#December|December 11, 2552]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] landed upon Installation 00 on the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], and seized the Citadel while the majority of his fleet and armies distracted the pursuing [[United Nations Space Command]]/[[Covenant separatists]] allied forces. However, [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]] "laid waste" to the Prophet of Truth's fleet while [[John-117|the Master Chief]] and [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]] led a Marine and Sangheili ground attack on the Ark's surface, pushing forth to the [[Jiralhanae|Brute]]-held Citadel. However, the Prophet of Truth activated the barrier towers, forcing the UNSC and the Elites to send strike teams to lower the barrier before gaining access to the Citadel. During the assault, however, [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery J. Johnson]] was captured by the Brutes, and was taken to the Citadel, because the Prophet of Truth needed a human [[Reclaimer]] in order to activate the Halo Array.<ref name="covenant"/> | During the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in [[2552#December|December 11, 2552]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] landed upon Installation 00 on the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], and seized the Citadel while the majority of his fleet and armies distracted the pursuing [[United Nations Space Command]]/[[Thel 'Vadam's Covenant faction|Covenant separatists]] allied forces.

Meanwhile, [[the Flood]] were readying their forces against Truth: If the UNSC and [[Sangheili]] could not prevent Truth from firing the Halos, then the Flood would, and they began to scale the outer reaches of the Citadel, joining forces with SPARTAN-117 and the Arbiter in a desperate attempt to deactivate the Halos. While Truth continued to sermonize, the Master Chief, the Arbiter, and a Flood swarm attacked the Chieftain and the Covenant forces defending Truth, clearing the way for them to reach Truth. Upon reaching Truth, the Master Chief and the Arbiter found Johnson closing the eyelids of a now deceased Miranda Keyes. The Master Chief then quickly deactivated the Halos before they could complete their firing sequences, to Truth's dismay. The Arbiter then killed the defenseless Prophet of Truth with his [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]].<ref name="covenant"/> | Meanwhile, [[the Flood]] were readying their forces against Truth: If the UNSC and [[Sangheili]] could not prevent Truth from firing the Halos, then the Flood would, and they began to scale the outer reaches of the Citadel, joining forces with SPARTAN-117 and the Arbiter in a desperate attempt to deactivate the Halos.
