What happens in the Halo 2 ending?

Answer 1

At the end of the last level, "The Maw" you have to drive a Warthog REALLY, REALLY fast to beat the time before Halo and the Pillar of Autumn explodes. First you're driving to get on-board a Pelican but when you get there, Elites in Banshees are attacking Echo 419 and it catches on fire and it either hits the platform Master Chief was on when Cortana told him to stop or it falls right under it. And then you have to drive to some ship, try to ignore the Covenant and Flood as much as Master Chief can take it if his health is full so that you can make it to the docked ship in time. I don't know the name of ship but after that a cut-scene starts with them escaping Halo and after they get out, it shows Halo breaking apart.

Answer 2

Halo 2 ends when Maranda Keys takes the "Sacred Icon" out of the control Panel thing. Delta Halo misfires and kills all the covanent ships around it. Halo then "communicates" with the onther installations. They find out that to activate the other Halos the have to go to a place called The Ark. Master Chief then arrives at earth on Truth's ship to "Finish the Fight"

Answer 3

Master chief goes back to earth
