After that, there is a small park, where another Marine-controlled [[Warthog]] lurks, and an open urban area with [[Wraith|Wraiths]], before going onto catwalks attached to buildings in order to attempt to board the [[Scarab]] and take out the Covenant piloting it.

''{A [[Marine]] sitting on the ground watches as [[Master Chief]] approaches. The Chief steps over him to a standing Female Marine}''
 
'''Female [[Marine]]:''' "It blew right through us." ''{they watch the Scarab stomp over the Bridge, out of view}'' "50-cal, rockets, didn't do a thing."
 
''{A [[Pelican]] drops a [[Scorpion]]. Johnson gets out, Master Chief and Marines walk over.}''
 
'''[[Sergeant Johnson]]:''' "Where's the rest of your platoon?"
 
'''Female Marine:''' "Wasted, Sarge."
 
'''Marine 1:''' "And we will be, too, sir, if we don't get the hell outta here."
 
'''Sergeant Johnson:''' "You hit, marine?"
 
'''Marine 1:''' "Uh, no, sir."
 
'''Sergeant Johnson ([[Easy]]):''' "Then, listen up! You had your chance to be afraid before you joined my beloved Corps. But to guide you back to the true path, I brought this motivational device. Our big green style cannot be defeated!"
 
'''Sergeant Johnson ([[Normal]]):''' "Then, listen up! The Chief is gonna jump in this tank, roll across the bridge, and blow up any inhuman son of a bitch dumb enough to get between him and the [[Prophet of Regret]]. Pull yourself together! Because you're going with him."
 
'''Sergeant Johnson ([[Heroic]]):''' "Then, listen up! When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-shmancy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks! And a rock for the whole platoon. And we had to share the rock. Buck up, boy, you're one very lucky marine."
 
'''Sergeant Johnson ([[Legendary]]):''' "Then, listen up! Usually the good Lord works in mysterious ways, but not today. This here is sixtysix tons of straight up, H-E-spewing divine intervention! If God is love, then you can call me Cupid."
 
'''Female Marine:''' "What about that [[Scarab]]?"
 
'''Sergeant Johnson:''' "We've all run the simulations, they're tough, but they ain't invincible. Stay with the Master Chief, he'll know what to do."
 
'''Female Marine:''' "Yes, sir, sergeant!"
 
'''[[Cortana]] (Radio):''' "Thanks for the tank. ''He'' never gets me anything."
 
''{Johnson climbs back on the Pelican, readys a machine gun}''
 
'''Sergeant Johnson:''' "Oh, I know what the ladies like."
 
''(You start out next to the tank, with the bridge stretching out in front of you. The burning skyline with the [[Covenant]] [[Assault Carrier]] hovering over it is visible in the distance. The bridge is strewn with the wreckage of cars, trucks and buses. A multitude of  [[Ghost]]s patrol the bridge, as well as a [[Wraith]] tank.''
 
''About halfway across, [[Banshee]]s swoop in for an attack from either side, and three [[Phantom]]s fly by, delivering troops and another Wraith tank. A lone Marine stationed on the bridge joins you and the other 2 Marines. At the other end of the bridge, a group of Banshees flies in over the rooftops.)''
 
'''Cortana:''' That's quite a welcome party.
 
''(A pack of Ghosts skitters into view and opens up on your tank. They are soon joined by a pair of Wraith tanks who come in from the nearby highway tunnel, as well as another pair of Banshees.''
 
''You enter the highway tunnel meeting little resistance until a barrier prevents you from taking your tank any further. A [[Warthog]] pulls up and joins your cause, while a trio of [[Jackal]]s stationed on the barrier fire down at you.)''
 
'''Female Marine:''' Secure the area!
 
''(A different female marine walks up to you and offers you a [[Shotgun]].)''
 
'''Female Marine 2:''' It's tight quarters on the other side, sir. Use this.
 
''(You enter a dark, wreckage and Covenant strewn section of the highway tunnel. A pair of [[Elite]]s and a large group of [[Grunts]] attack, while a pair of Jackal snipers fire on you from a distance with their [[Beam Rifle]]s. At the end of the tunnel, more Grunts and Elites attack, as well as another trio of Jackals. You enter a series of sewage tunnels that open out into a massive courtyard.)''
 
===Part 02: This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us===
 
''(The Scarab can be seen in the distance, although it leaves quickly. A Warthog pulls up to you.)''
 
'''[[Sergeant Stacker]]:''' Could use you on the gun Chief!
 
''(Stacker drives you into another courtyard, where a few Ghosts, a pair of Jackal snipers, a veteran Elite, and a Wraith tank guard the tunnel at the far end. Another pair of Ghosts enters the fray, and once they're dead, Stacker drives you into a large room with a waterfall, and then out into the streets of New Mombasa.''
 
''You come upon a Marine outpost that is under siege by a trio of Wraith tanks and Jackal snipers, while a fellow Warthog valiantly defends. A Phantom delivers a pair of Ghosts, but they are put down easily.''
 
''A Pelican delivers a Scorpion Tank as you walk into the base. You are greeted by a Marine at the entrance.)''
 
'''[[Corporal Perez]]:'' Sir! Corporal Perez, [[405th Marine Infantry Division|A Company]]! CP's this way! The Lieutenant got hit as soon as we dropped in!
 
'''Cortana (Radio):''' Who's in charge now, Corporal?
 
'''Corporal Perez:''' Uh, [[Sergeant Banks]], ma'am. He's pinned down up top. Come on, I'll show you.
 
''(He leads you up the heavily guarded stairs to a balcony overlooking the streets where you fought the Wraith tanks. A huge plasma beam can be seen firing at something in the distance, and the Scarab lumbers into view.)''
 
===Part 03: Field Expedient===
 
'''Sergeant Banks:''' When I asked for reinforcements, I didn’t think they’d send a [[Spartan]]. We got trouble!
 
''(The Scarab demolishes the Scorpion tank that was just dropped in, then it starts walking toward the base.)''
 
'''Marine 2:''' See this look?! It's terror!!
 
'''Sergeant Banks:''' Marine, did I give you permission to bitch?! I don't think it's stopping; get your heads down!
 
''(The Scarab walks right over your position)''
 
'''Sergeant Banks:''' That thing is really starting to PISS ME OFF! Marines, time to kill us a Scarab!
 
''(You enter a large warehouse in pursuit of the Scarab. You end up on a series of walkways above a large water-filled canal, and the Scarab is walking below you, while Covenant troops fire at you from the deck.)''
 
''(Eventually, the Scarab reaches the end of the canal, and can go no further.)''
 
'''Cortana:''' It can't go any further this way. We have it trapped.
 
''(If you stall)''
 
'''Cortana:''' You're going to have to board that Scarab, Chief.
 
''(Groups of Pelicans fly by in front of the Scarab. Occasionally, one turns and unleashes a barrage of missiles on the Scarab, to no avail.)''
 
''(You enter the Scarab, to find a couple of [[Ultra Grunts]], an [[Ultra]] Elite, and a couple of [[Major Elite]]s piloting the Scarab.)''
 
'''Cortana:''' Careful Chief, that Elite was an Ultra, and those pilots are no pushovers either.
 
''( After you clear the hostiles out, the Scarab explodes and the Master Chief walks out.)''
 
'''Sergeant Johnson (Radio):''' ''(In the Pelican cockpit)'' That's right you mothers! Run!
 
'''Cortana (Radio):''' Not if we can help it Sergeant.
 
''(Cut to bridge of the ''In Amber Clad'')''
 
'''[[Commander Keyes]]:''' Extract the Chief and return to ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]]''.
 
'''Sergeant Johnson (Radio):''' Roger that!
 
'''[[Lord Hood]] (On display screen on ''In Amber Clad''):''' Status?
 
'''Commander Keyes:''' Sir, the [[Prophet]] is bugging out! Request permission to engage!
 
'''Lord Hood:''' Negative, Commander. I'll vector two heavies for starside intercept.
 
''(The Covenant ship begins to accelerate.)''
 
'''Nav Officer:''' Ma'am, [[Slipspace]] rupture off the target's bow! It's going to jump, inside the city!
 
'''Commander Keyes:''' There's no time sir!
 
'''Lord Hood:''' Greenlight! Greenlight to engage!
 
''(Cut to underside of the ''In Amber Clad''. Johnson's Pelican docks via a hatch under the ship.)''
 
'''Commander Keyes:''' Punch it! Get us close!
 
''(Cut Back to bridge of ''In Amber Clad'')''
 
'''Nav Officer:''' Ma'am, without a destination solution-
 
'''Commander Keyes:''' We are NOT losing that ship!
 
''(The Assault Carrier enters Slipspace, followed closely by the ''In Amber Clad'', causing a massive white explosion that engulfs the whole of New Mombasa.)''
