Before I begin, let me say this is a theory i don't believe this is likely to happen but could and I have never heard it before so i'm going to say it. I just beat halo 2 and was thinking about Cortana answering all of the Gravemind's questions.
Humans don't want Halos to be activated
New covenant don't want halos to be activated
Flood don't want halos to be activated( because they have now learned of the truth from cortana)
I propose that Humans, New Covenant, and the Flood will be allies against the Covenant. This also answers the question of what Cortana meant when she said "I am your shield, your sword" and "I know you, your past, your future" Because this is the Gravemind telling MC that he is going to both ally and protect him. He knows the past like he has said before which is another clue it is the Gravemind talking. What do you think? Expand if you would like please. This is pretty original so i hope i don't get flamed for it being stupid.

A culmanation of common speculations into one semi-origonal theory. I'll humor you.

Neither side will ally with the Flood, the Flood may ally with them, but any 'cease-fire' would be called off after the Halo's were safed from firing. The Flood is just too damn dangerous.

The Flood wouldn't ally with anybody because they don't have intelligence so they wouldn't really be able to know that the Halos would kill them. Also, the Elites, the Grunts, and the Hunters probably wouldn't ally with the Humans, either, because only a few of the Elites, the Grunts, and the Hunters know that the Halos would destroy all sentient life in the galaxy.

The best group for fan-fics ever made!
wanna be part of the Wrath?
arguments turn into battles and battles turn into wars,dismantle the arguments and everything is fine.

two things Satan, one, the elites were betrayed by the brutes b/c the prophets ordered them to kill the elites, and I guess the hunters and grunts were just tired of the brutes. Two, the gravemind is the the intellagance of the flood and can tell the flood what to do b/c he is flood.

cant see it happening

gravemind could try and make it happen but it just wouldnt b/c the covenant and the marines are just a tad annoyed with the flood at the moment - something about killing thousands of troops and turning them into mindless combat forms if i remember rightly...

Hunters were angry at the Prophets for lying to them about the Halos' true purpose and also they are extremely loyal to the Elites so that is why they went with the so-called 'New Covenant', and the Grunts also had a strong connection with the Elites, if you read the books (I think First Strike) when it details the adventures of the one (spec ops or Osoona, its been so long) Elite and he has the Grunt as his companion and what not.

The problem is if the flood were looking for allies with humanity then they sure as hell have a funny way of showing it by first attacking the MC and also hijacking their ship while killing a lot of them. Besides now that the flood have a ship with faster than light capabilites they are unstopable. They can most likely hijack more and more ships now by spreading to minute colonies of the covies or humans and getting more and more ships to build their armada (if they don't make their own now with these new materials, from there they need only a few hundred carrier forms dropped onto a planet to infect the entire planet in a few days. Really they don't need allies. If anything both halves of the covenent and ther humans need each other to even begin to take on the flood. Playing as highly trained and fearless MC or the arbiter with energy shields makes the flood look easy but a single infection from can leap well over 10 ft in the air and even a single latch on can both bring down an enemy and get them a new ally. Really if the flood were to make it to earth or any civlian section with weak or not as abundant weaponry you would very well see a flood (an actual flood of flood flowing through the streets as they consume all and convert all to their cause.

yeah the elites/hunters/and grunts are one group brutes and jackels another. For the person who said most elites would not follow it could happen but is not likely because sentient groups tend to follow there leaders, and the arbitor is one. And as for the flood i think he could be right but see the flood tricking everyone if it happened.
