Description

Midnight is the ninth campaign level of Halo 4, and the eighth and last one to feature actual gameplay.

With the Didact leaving Ivanoff Station, the Master Chief and Cortana chase after him in an F-41 Broadsword fighter armed with a HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon. However, as they approach his ship, the Mantle's Approach, the Didact prepares to jump into slipspace again. Quickly flying the Broadsword under the Didact's shields, the Master Chief is able to piggyback Mantle's Approach into slipspace. Cortana determines that the Didact is at the Composer and the Master Chief embarks on a dangerous flight through a trench on Mantle's Approach to reach the Composer and deliver the HAVOK. Mantle's Approach soon arrives at Earth where the orbital defenses are unable to penetrate the ship's shields. Discovering the UNSC Infinity acting as the flagship of Battle Group Dakota, the Master Chief makes contact, discovering now-Captain Thomas Lasky in charge following FLEETCOM relieving Captain Andrew Del Rio of command over his abandoning the Master Chief on Requiem. With the Didact sealing off the entrance to the Composer, the Master Chief disables the particle cannons around the Forerunner weapon, allowing Infinity to blast a hole into the side of the ship for the Master Chief. The hole quickly closes and the Broadsword crashes, forcing the Master Chief to continue on foot with the HAVOK.

With Cortana's rampancy worsening, the two struggle to use the ship's portal system to reach the Composer before the Didact can use it against the Earth. As the Master Chief finally nears the Composer, the Didact surrounds himself with an energy shield and prepares to fire it on Earth. Cortana has the Master Chief insert her into the system at three separate locations so that she can eject her rampant personality spikes into the system, successfully taking down the shield. However, the Didact destroys the terminal containing Cortana's data crystal chip before the Master Chief can retrieve her and fires the Composer upon New Phoenix, digitizing millions of people.

Making his way onto a hard light bridge, the Master Chief faces off against the Didact who easily disarms him and begins telekinetically choking the Master Chief. Seven Cortana's rise from the hard light bridge and turn into hard light shackles, freeing the Master Chief who plants a pulse grenade in the Didact's armor, sending him falling into a slipspace portal below the Composer. With the Composer firing on New Phoenix and no time to escape, the Master Chief detonates the HAVOK, destroying Mantle's Approach and the Composer. The Master Chief finds himself in a hard light bubble where Cortana has shielded him from the nuclear blast. A life-sized hard light hologram of Cortana joins the Master Chief and to his grief reveals that she can't leave with him, most of Cortana having been on the destroyed ship and having only held enough of herself back to save the Master Chief. After a final emotional goodbye in which Cortana touches the Master Chief for the first time, she disappears, seemingly for good, leaving the Master Chief floating in the debris field.
