Elites siding with humans is actually probable. If you've read "Conversations from the Universe," you see some Elites question the Covenant's vendetta against Humanity.
As far as what happens in the story, I don't know much... only that the "Ark", or the directions to it, is/are probably located on Earth. Also, the Spec. Ops. Commander (the white guy with parts of his jaws missing that helps you out in Arbiter missions) is going to be badass again, and is going to take over "the cruiser" (visible in the sky of the last level, and he says he's going to take it back) and give the Arbiter, Johnson, and Miranda a lift back to Earth (most likely).
And the Flood are not mindless drones... they're more like one entire entity, and the Gravemind might be the brain.
