Months after the [[Human-Covenant War]] began with the [[First Battle of Harvest|attack]] on [[Harvest]] in early [[2525]], Anton-044 and the other Spartan-IIs were brought to the [[Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex]], where [[Rear Admiral]] [[Michael Stanforth]] briefed them on the emerging [[Covenant]] threat. In response, the training of the Spartan-IIs was accelerated, and in [[2525#November|November 2525]] they were sent to [[Chi Ceti IV]] to receive their new [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] from the [[Damascus Materials Testing Facility]].{{Ref/Novel|Id= | Months after the [[Human-Covenant War]] began with the [[First Battle of Harvest|attack]] on [[Harvest]] in early [[2525]], Anton-044 and the other Spartan-IIs were brought to the [[Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex]], where [[Rear Admiral]] [[Michael Stanforth]] briefed them on the emerging [[Covenant]] threat.

To save the ''Commonwealth'', John had Anton and the other Spartan-IIs use [[thruster pack]]s in an attempt to board the alien vessel, and destroy it with [[Anvil-II air-to-surface missile|Anvil-II AS missiles]]. However, only John-117, [[Kelly-087]], and [[Samuel-034]] made it aboard. Anton and the others missed the ''Unrelenting'', but were picked up after the battle.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TFoR147to150|TFoR|Pg=147-150}} | ||

By early [[2526]], Anton, [[Malcolm-059]], and [[Solomon-069]] had been assigned to [[Green Team]], which was then led by [[Kurt-051]]. On [[2526#March|March 5]] of that year, Anton and eleven other Spartans were organized into an assault squad with orders to board and capture a [[Covenant frigate]], ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', orbiting the planet [[Netherop]].

[[Blue Team]] spearheaded the assault, clearing rooms along the ship's main corridor as Anton and the rest of Green Team secured these chambers and any intersections they encountered. As the two teams continued on, a sensor operator aboard one of the prowlers "accidentally" broadcast a transmission on the Spartans' [[COM|SQUADCOM]], revealing their presence to the frigate's crew. Unbeknownst to them, the crewman's apparent mistake was part of an [[insurrectionist]] plot designed by [[Hector Nyeto]], who intended to get the Spartans killed. With their presence known, Blue and Green Teams split up, with John leading his team to the bridge. Green Team would make their way to the [[engineering]] section until John informed them of the ship's imminent [[self-destruct]]ion at the hands of its [[shipmaster]], and ordered them to evacuate. All of the Spartans—including Anton—made it to safety before the ''Radiant Arrow'' detonated.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS3|HSS|Chapter=3}} | ||

Anton (under the callsign Blue Four) took part in the extravehicular mission to repair the ship. He, John, Fred, Li, Grace, and [[Will]], along with [[Petty Officer Second Class|PO2]] [[Shiela Polaski]], took the dropship out to the site. There they were ambushed by several Sangheili. Anton posted on top of the dropship to provide cover. As the conduit was repaired, a large globule of stray plasma struck the dropship, destroying its cockpit. Anton, Li, and Polaski went missing in this event. While he and the others were most likely flash-vaporized by the extreme heat, Anton was listed as missing in action in accordance with [[ | Anton (under the callsign Blue Four) took part in the extravehicular mission to repair the ship.
