Something I don't get about Halo's plot
I went through all three main Halo games' plots last night and I was amazed just how cleanly constructed the plot always was. Things had a habit of coming back together whether it be the frigate In Amber Clad showing up in High Charity or when Miranda, Johnson, Chief, Arbiter, and The Flood were all there and present when Truth activated The Ark. And not a thing was left unresolved when the story was over, with the exception of Halo 2's cliff-hanger ending but that was intentional.
But there's just one thing I don't get between the plot of these three games. If Gravemind wanted Chief and Arby to stop Truth from activating the rings as per self-preservation, then why did The Flood continue to ambush them after they agreed to help? Specifically when The Flood attacked High Charity and when they attacked the town of Voi on Earth. I thought we were allied with The Flood at this point, or at least until we stopped Truth? Why did they attack us?
Also, why didn't Gravemind send a few Flood fleeing elsewhere when the replacement ring was activated at the end of Halo 3? Sure he was putting all his cards on the table but there had to have been a backup plan. It's a little TOO clean-cut to say that he didn't plan on Chief activating the ring. Hell, that would've made an interesting premise for Halo 4. The Flood aren't dead just yet.

The Flood used Chief as a diversion on High Charity in order to infiltrate their defenses while the Covenant were still in choas from the sudden attack of their religion's equivalent to the Anti-Christ.The Arbiter was given the real task of stopping Tartarus from activating the Rings. At this point, the Gravemind probably knew little of how the Halo Rings functioned in conjunction with one another, so it was probably more concerned with the immediate threat of Installation 05. The Flood's driving purpose is to consume all life, so taking High Charity and stopping Installation 05 from destroying that life (and the Gravemind) were both a means to that end. After infecting High Charity it learned the location of Earth either from Cortana or High Charity's databanks. Not needing to send his entire force to Earth it sent one CCS-class battlecruiser filled with Flood instead ("One, single Flood Spore can destroy a species!"). While the attack failed, it learned of the Portal and (possibly rom 2401 Penitent Tangent) where it lead and the purpose of the Ark. Seeing this as both an emergency and a location as a place that the Flood could be safe from the firing radius of all of the currently existing Halo Rings, the Gravemind made for the Ark. Upon arriving at the Ark, it likely attacked both sides since, for all it knew, humanity and the Covenant might have joined forces in an attempt to stop the Flood. After infecting human soldiers, it probably learned that humanity was, in fact, fighting to stop the Rings from firing. At this point, he temporarily aligned himself with the Arbiter and the Chief to stop Truth. After the Rings were stopped, he had no more need of them, and so turned on them. Also, not all of the Flood were at the Ark when Installation 04B was fired. There were still the Flood forms on the other Halo Rings, and the Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity as well as the other fleets that defended High Charity before it fell are noticeably absent from the Battle of the Ark.
