After the barrier towers were deactivated, the [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]] ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' moved over the Citadel and attempted to destroy it. This was interrupted by the Flood-controlled ''[[High Charity]]'' suddenly appearing out of slipspace and raining debris on the area, severely damaging the ''Shadow of Intent''. The UNSC then launched an assault on the Citadel, led by the Master Chief, with one [[M808B Main Battle Tank|M808B Scorpion Tank]], multiple [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|M12 Warthog LAAVs]], one [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]], and multiple [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] VTOLs, and a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship]].

However, the Covenant defended the Citadel, landing a pair of [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarabs]] by an atmospheric landing, supplemented with one [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] tank and a handful of [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]] and [[Type-52 Infantry Support Vehicle|Prowler]] attack vehicles. Despite heavy resistance, [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]] and [[Thel 'Vadam]] were able to defeat the Covenant defense, and with [[343 Guilty Spark]]'s assistance, entered the Citadel.{{Ref/Reuse|covenant}} | ||
However, in the Citadel, Truth was readying to activate the Halos, and a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]] was torturing the captive Johnson. When SPARTAN-117 radioed that he was too far from Truth to prevent him from activating the Halos, [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]] boldly took a Pelican dropship and crashed it into the Citadel, landing in the midst of Truth, his attendant Brutes, and Johnson. Keyes opened fire on the Brutes, killing one and injuring another before she realized that the situation was hopeless: she could not engage dozens of Brutes, then kill Truth, and then rescue Johnson. She aimed her [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|magnum]] at Johnson, offering to kill him and then herself, thus preventing the Covenant from firing the Halos, until Truth rose and shot her several times in the back with a [[Type-25 Carbine|Spiker]], killing Miranda Keyes. Truth then forced Johnson's hand onto the control panel, initiating the Halo Array's activation sequence.{{Ref/Reuse|covenant}} | However, in the Citadel, Truth was readying to activate the Halos, and a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]] was torturing the captive Johnson.
