With the Didact approaching Earth, planning to imprison all of humanity into digital form, John pursued the Promethean aboard an [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighter on the outer hull of the Promethean's ship. As the ship exited slipspace near Earth, John was surprised to find the ''Infinity'' and the rest of the [[UNSC Home Fleet|Home Fleet]] ready and waiting for the Didact. John was able to destroy the ship's point defense guns, giving ''Infinity'' the chance to punch through the vessel's hull. Entering the breach, John fought his way to the Forerunner's location.<ref name="midnight">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Midnight]]''</ref> Despite the UNSC's best efforts, the Didact began to fire on Earth with the Composer, annihilating the population of [[New Phoenix|New Phoenix, Arizona]]. Armed with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon|HAVOK warhead]], John confronted the Didact for the second time. While John was unable to hurt the Forerunner with conventional attacks, the dying Cortana disabled the Didact's armor and immobilized him with [[hard light]] shackles. With the last of his strength, John used a [[pulse grenade]] to destroy the Forerunner's armor, sending him down into a slipspace rupture beneath the Composer. With time having already run out, John detonated the nuclear bomb manually as a desperate last resort.<ref name="midnight"/> | With the Didact approaching Earth, planning to imprison all of humanity into digital form, John pursued the Promethean aboard an [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighter on the outer hull of the Promethean's ship.

Using the last of her power, Cortana was able to save John from the blast, saving his life at the cost of her own. The two had one final conversation, with John remarking that he was supposed to have protected her. Cortana insisted that they were supposed to protect each other, and did. Smiling and seeming at peace, Cortana welcomed John home, and then faded away completely.<ref name="midnight"/> Left adrift in space, John was recovered by a UNSC [[Pelican 096|search-and-rescue team]] shortly afterward. Later, John spoke with (now Captain) Lasky about the loss of his close friend and companion. Aboard the ''Infinity'', John rejoined Palmer and the other Spartans, and had his MJOLNIR Mark VI armor removed for the first time in several years.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[Epilogue (Halo 4 level)|Epilogue]]''</ref> | Using the last of her power, Cortana was able to save John from the blast, saving his life at the cost of her own.
