Humans made the mistake of Unleashing the flood.
Covenants hated the Humans for unleashing the ARCH Enemy of the Forerunners: Covenants Gods, and delaying their "GREAT JOURNEY"
Gravemind/Flood Let Chief and Arbiter Live. Why? They are the most capable heroes of each camp...they are the voice. They will be heard and they are a force to be reckoned with if the Prophets really want to activate the halos. He let both live to give himself time to figure out where is earth and how to get there...through cortana and by her "driving" the covenant homeworld to earth, to get past its defenses and all.
The ark. its on earth. In bible its a vessel that contained every kind of living thing on the planet. well guess what...if gravemind gets there literally all of the TYPES OF SENTIENT RACES mentioned on the BOOK and the game is THERE. Humans, Flood, and the whole covenant specie. they are all on the ark to go onto the GREAT JOURNEY....
but where? and how? well...if the great journey was to continue...virtually all sentient life on the universe (except flood) SHOULD BE ON THE ARK (to survive) and then the halo's should be activated to make sure no flood nor food for them is left. This is the intention of the covies. The ark is a vessel...taking everything on it to the great journey that is where the forerunners thrive...nirvana.
why gravemind wants to get there? eat and assimilate everything on there, gather even more knowlege and power...activate the halo that would kill everything except him because he is on the ark himnself...and embark on the great journey to take on the forerunner with his self built abomination. He is getting there not to primarily annihalte humans or covies..those are sub missions to grander plots he has in mind...
Gravemind is trying to get to the ark to "end the world", not just "defy gods and demons" but to "finish the fight" they started ,and embark on a revenge millions of years in the waiting.
Who will stop him? Chief, Arbiter, Covenants, UNSC, Halsey and her remaining spartans on a secret mission, and the HALO's themselves.......before its all too late for all of them to realize whats REALLY happening.
Absolute Power and Revenge of the Flood Over the most dominant Beings on the Universe....the Forerunners.
