While en route to Onyx, ''Bloodied Spirit'' was brought out of slipspace by the Covenant, where the destroyer was forced into a conflict between Sangheili [[ORS-class heavy cruiser|heavy cruiser]] ''[[Incorruptible]]'' and three Jiralhanae [[Covenant frigate|frigates]] as the [[Great Schism]] emerged within the Covenant. While ''Bloodied Spirit'' was able to escape the conflict, the Covenant learned that the destroyer was under Spartan control. However, [[Shipmaster]] [[Voro 'Mantakree]] of ''Incorruptible'' had intercepted Halsey's message and learned of the Forerunner cache on Onyx. 'Mantakree later met with a [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|coalition of allied Sangheili]], where [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] charged 'Mantakree with leading a fleet to recover the Onyx technology.{{Ref/Reuse|goo218}} Upon arriving at Onyx, ''Bloodied Spirit'' was [[Battle of Onyx|engaged]] by [[Onyx Sentinel]]s in orbit.

Returning to Blue Team's dropship, the humans embarked towards a Forerunner city within the restricted [[Zone 67]] aboard the Spirit. Landing in the city, Kurt had Fred, Linda, and [[Holly-G003]] and [[Mark-G313]] of Team Saber scout out the surrounding area with [[grappling round]]s while the others examined Onyx's [[Cartographer|map room]], located by Will. Just as Halsey located the missing [[Team Katana]]'s location on Onyx, now-[[Fleet Master]] Voro Nar 'Mantakree's fleet arrived at Onyx while a massive force of Sentinels hovered overhead above the humans.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 262-277''</ref> 'Mantakree led Sangheili, Mgalekgolo and Unggoy ground forces to the planet's surface while the humans prepared to fend off their attackers. During the ensuring battle, Fred was hit in the chest by a Mgalekgolo's [[assault cannon]], injuring him. He was pulled to safety by Lucy and Saber's [[Dante-G188]], as he recovered. The humans moved to the map room for cover, though Dante was killed.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 306-309''</ref> Discovering that they could escape Onyx in the planet's core via a [[slipspace portal]] that was about to close, Halsey utilized Onyx's [[slipspace translocation]] system. Before they could teleport to Team Katana's location, Onyx AI [[Endless Summer]] revealed that the Sentinels would destroy Admiral [[Carl Patterson]]'s [[Patterson's battle group|battle group]] in orbit after they inevitably destroyed the Sangheili ships. Realizing that the battle group was sent to rescue the Spartans, Kurt agreed with Endless Summer to destroy the [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]] to give the battle group a better chance of survival. The Spartans were subsequently teleported to the facility, where they succeeded in destroying it. However, the humans soon learned that Patterson's battle group had been destroyed with the arrival of a larger Sangheili fleet. Fred and the others then recovered Spartan-III Team Katana, though the Spartans were trapped in [[slipspace field pod]]s. Afterwards, the humans headed for [[Core room antechamber|Onyx's core room]] and made a final stand against the Covenant forces at a slipspace portal which Halsey theorized to lead into a "[[shield world]]".<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 314-333''</ref>
