Master Chief riding the Gravity lift down to the bottom shuttered his body, as if wind were strongly pushing him. He eventually reaches the bottom. "There are two groups of Marines and Occupants in this detention block. I'll zero their locations, You neutralize the guards... quietly." Cortana Planned. Master Chief finds a Covenant Weapon Cache and a Krone weapon box, in the supplies, he decided to look in the Krone Weaponry and he then found an Echo Rifle, a KM-33 and a Shattergun. He equipped himself with the Shattergun and Echo Rifle, and walked along a ledge gaurded by Krone Elites, Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts. There seems to be no sign of a single Sangheili in the area, John cleared them all. "Come to the lower level Chief." Cortana asked. "The Marines are just inside, careful of the guards." He does so, and sees an open door. He heads in, it is gaurded by sleeping Grunts, Jackals and Krone Soldiers. He eliminates them, and the cell doors open. The Marines and Occupants come out, "Listen up, Soldiers." Cortana announced, "The Chief's hunting a Prophet, and you're gonna help him kill it." He rescues the second group, and Heads up back to the top. Only to notice a Covenant-Krone Civil War between the Covenant-Krone Loyalists consisting of: Krone forces, Jackals, Brutes and Drones. And the Separatists consisting of: Grunts, Elites, and Hunters. The Master Chief, Marines and Occupants were right in the middle of it.
They push through the Civil Warzone, and reach the Prophet. Only to be too late. Master Chief rides a Gravity lift down, and looks at the Phantoms taking off. He sees a Pelican come in, thinking it's reinforcements. The Pelican crashes, and reveals nothing but an old enemy: The Flood.
