Part 3/9:
Arriving in a local village, John and his team attempt to evacuate the civilians, but the defiance led by a figure known as The Mother ignites a riot as the community refuses to abandon their home. The chaos draws the attention of the Covenant, who swiftly attack the village.
Stranded in the merciless fog of battle, John and his remaining fellow Spartan, Perez, find themselves fighting an unseen enemy. In a tense confrontation, John displays unparalleled combat prowess, blasting through Covenant forces and rescuing Perez from near-certain death. The team observes enigmatic aliens retreating before them, leaving John unsettled and questioning if their vanishing act is indicative of the bigger plans the Covenant holds.
