At the conclusion of the [[Battle of Tsavo|Battle of Voi]], with the [[Prophet of Truth]] activating the Artifact and the Jiralhanae fleet escaping to the Ark, a Flood infested Covenant cruiser appeared out of [[Slipstream Space|Slipspace]], having penetrated the Elite's blockade of High Charity and crash landed into the city of [[Voi]] in an effort to spread. In order to prevent the Flood from escaping and infecting the entire planet, [[Miranda Keyes]] ordered John-117 to detonate the cruiser's reactors and search the ship for Cortana, causing the city of Voi to be destroyed and the Flood there eliminated. As John-117 and [[Thel 'Vadam]] fought their way to the ship, the [[Shadow of Intent]] arrived and deployed Sangheili task force to aid UNSC marines. SPARTAN-117, with the help of the Sangheili, was able to battle through the Flood forces, including the newly encountered Flood [[Pure Form]]s to reach the crashed cruiser where he found a message from [[Cortana]]. Upon this discovery, 343 Guilty Spark arrived pledging his assistance to the Reclaimers. With the Flood spreading, SPARTAN-117 boarded a Phantom while the Sangheili went on to glass the infected areas. The remaining [[Sangheili]] forces, fulfilling their mission of removing the Flood from Earth, retreated back to the Sangheili Carrier, the Shadow of Intent, along with Cortana's message and Guilty Spark.

With the assistance of 343 Guilty Spark, Cortana's message was repaired, revealing a solution to the Flood menace on the Ark. To Lord Hood's disapproval, Miranda Keyes led UNSC forces allied with Thel 'Vadam's and Rtas 'Vadum's Sangheili's through the Portal.

On the Ark, the UNSC and the Covenant Separatists attempted to get to the Prophet of Truth. They attacked three towers which were powering a shield over the Ark's citadel. John-117 led the attack on the first tower. Thel 'Vadam led the attack on the second tower. Sergeant Johnson assaulted the third tower. When Sergeant Johnson failed to take out the third tower, John-117 arrived there with Thel 'Vadam and a group of Elites. Sergeant Johnson was nowhere to be seen. The Spartan went to the top of the tower. While attempting to lower the shield surrounding the Ark's citadel, the infested [[High Charity]] made a Slipspace jump and smashed into the Ark, releasing the Flood inside the structure and causing an infestation on the newly built replacement for the destroyed Installation 04. All three factions immediately were attacked by Flood forces. Significant damage was done to the Shadow of Intent, which made the ship almost inoperable. The UNSC and the Covenant Separatists were forced to attack Truth on the ground. Finally, after attacking two Scarabs protecting the Citadel, the two victorious sides managed to secure access inside the Citadel. Spartan-117 followed by Thel 'Vadam quickly entered the Citadel. Inside, they saw a video of Truth and some Brutes attempting to convince Sergeant Johnson to activate the rings. Miranda Keyes desperately crashed a Pelican into the Citadel to stop Truth from activating the rings, but ultimately was killed by Truth. Truth then forced Johnson to activate the rings. The Gravemind realized that if the rings were to fire, he would be destroyed along with his loyal minions. Figuring out that John-117 and the Arbiter were inside the Citadel, he realized that if he helped them kill Truth, the rings would stop charging. He quickly arranged for two Pure forms to meet John-117 and the Arbiter. The Spartan and the Elite accepted the Gravemind's help and the two attacked the Covenant forces while the Flood assisted them. Finally, they came to the end of the hall. Johnson was holding Miranda Keyes, even though it was too late. He told the two to kill Truth and stop the rings. Thel 'Vadam managed to capture Truth while John-117 deactivated the rings. While Truth attempted to convince the Arbiter for his help, the Gravemind managed to infect Truth, corrupting him from the inside. Thel 'Vadam thrust his energy sword into Truth, killing the prophet. The Gravemind chose this moment to betray the two, attacking him with his Flood forces. However, Sentinels managed to subdue some of Flood while John-117 and Thel 'Vadam made their way through the Flood. They escaped through a small hole at the end of the hallway. There, the two saw the newly finished Installation 04(2). John-117 and Thel 'Vadam then come up with a plan. A plan that if worked, would mean the end of the Flood.
