Part 3: The Flood
The long sword came to the ship, Dragon of Courage, and got was awarded for getting the Icon. A flood infected pelican boarded and quickly infected the base. Master Chief, Akiza, and Arbiter try to defend the base with the remaining marines but is forced to separate and get to the Bumblebees. Akiza went into a different pod though. The pods reached a ring, it was different though, obvious signs of wear and tear is seen. The ring looked cracked and fiery at parts. They landed and saw the ship finally meet its demise. The ring's land was dry and had a reddish sand. The landscape was desolate and smoggy. The commitment to peace dropped off there and let out a pair of carriers. One came down and dropped down a massive machine with a screaming look of terror, almost as if it was alive, the machine had a massive cannon most certainly able to take down one, no, two Mammoths! It was a Harvester, but never where they seen active, but it was combat ready as the purple paint signified. Then plopped down 4 scarabs. These were also different too, they were larger than a normal scarab, it seemed to have a hatch on the bottom which could hold specters and ghosts. The scarabs and harvesters plopped down. Escape was at the essence and they had to find Akiza. The duo got to the first scarab, it was near a wreckage that was a part of the armory. A rocket launcher, Spartan laser, and some sticky detonators were there. They quickly disabled it, and killed the scarab which was commanded by brutes. They came to a bumblebee with operational troops that helped give them aid. A death defying screech came out. A flood form that was roughly 17 feet tall came running, it had 2 whips that attacked and blew up the bumblebee in one hit. The marines and the pair managed to take down the vile beast, which they nicknamed the Combat-Gravemind or Juggernaut. A scarab came and blasted the place into nothing. Master Chief once again managed to destroy it and got to a cliff. There they saw the true might of the flood. A scarab tried to fight off ~70,000 flood forms. It managed to kill some but was completely destroy by a seemingly synchronized hit by a couple thousand fuel rod gun, rocket launcher, Spartan laser, brute shot, and concussion rifle shots. This will mark what will stand until Halo 6 (or 9) as the Great Flood War. The remaining scarab was seen retreating. Possibly by the flood, but then the reason was discovered, a Flood Containment Facility fell down and caused a massive explosion, killing most of the flood. Sentinels were coming out and more flood gathered to the massive vessel. This will not be easy
