Fighting off determined Covenant pursuers, they press on into the heart of the planet to find its secrets, but not before the ONI [[AI]] communicates to Doctor Halsey the importance of shutting down a Forerunner "factory located at the "tip" of the plant that manufactures a new Sentinel every six seconds, or 600 per hour. Disabling the factory, they press on to the planet's core, where they discover a Slipspace rift that shunts those that pass through it to a miniaturized [[Dyson Sphere]] that is separated from normal space-time by advanced Forerunner Slipspace technology. Will and Holly fall fighting off the Covenant forces, and Kurt remains behind to ensure that the Covenant do not plunder Onyx's secrets, giving his life to prevent them from reopening the rift by waiting for the core doors to fully close and protect Dr. Halsey and the remaining Spartans, then detonating the FENRIS warheads that the team had taken with them, ending his life, along with a vast Covenant strike force, and causing the now-gutted planet of Onyx to disassemble into the myriads of Sentinels that it was made of due to the shock waves of the detonations below. In the end however, Kurt did receive an honorable death by Spartan tradition, taking all of the enemy forces with his own death. He ends his life responding to the Elite Fleet Master, "''Die? Didn't you know? Spartans never die,''" just before detonating the nukes. | Fighting off determined Covenant pursuers, they press on into the heart of the planet to find its secrets, but not before the ONI [[AI]] communicates to Doctor Halsey the importance of shutting down a Forerunner "factory located at the "tip" of the plant that manufactures a new Sentinel every six seconds, or 600 per hour.

From outside [[Onyx]], the surviving UNSC prowler ''Dusk'' watches on as the planet's surface rips apart, to reveal that the entire world is constructed of literally trillions of Sentinels, all connected together to provide an impenetrable defense around the Dyson Sphere at the heart of the planet. Within this sphere, which features terrain similar to that of Earth, the surviving humans discover that the planet is literally a massive bomb shelter for the Forerunner to survive the activation of the Halos, a pod that suspends the user inside a Slipspace field, the user is extruded into an alternate set of spacial co-ordinates excluded from time and nothing can harm them, because technically they are not there. 5 of the remaining Spartans, known as Team Katana, are each trapped in a [[Slipspace Field Pod]]. Concluding the story, the remaining Spartans find themselves alone in the vast habitat. | From outside [[Onyx]], the surviving UNSC prowler ''Dusk'' watches on as the planet's surface rips apart, to reveal that the entire world is constructed of literally trillions of Sentinels, all connected together to provide an impenetrable defense around the Dyson Sphere at the heart of the planet.

Kelly then welcomed the new Spartan III's to the Blue Team, sure that they were "going to make a great team." | ||
