During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], Fones belonged to "Second Squad", serving aboard the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}. He was deployed to the [[Battle of Mombasa]] on [[2552#October|October 2552]], under the command of [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Marcus Stacker]].{{Ref/Reuse|beach}}

Fones and his squad were aboard a [[D77-TC Pelican]] [[dropship]] when it was shot down by a [[Type-47A Scarab]] walker on approach to an area in [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]]. After their Pelican made a rough landing outside of an [[Hotel Zanzibar|abandoned beachside hotel]] in [[Old Mombasa]], Fones reported that [[O'Brien (ODST)|O'Brien]] was killed on impact. He, along with his squad quickly moved out to get better cover, and headed toward [[Hotel Zanzibar]]. During a skirmish with camouflaged [[Sangheili]], a [[plasma grenade]] had landed on Fones's helmet. Using quick reflexes, the [[ODST]] was able to remove his headgear and hurl it toward the camouflaged Sangheili's position on higher ground. There, Sergeant Stacker and his team saw the charging soldier, only after it had held [[Walpole]] as a prisoner. [[Butkus]] opened fire with an overcharged [[plasma pistol]] at the Sangheili, as Stacker shot the Sangheili in the head with his [[BR55 battle rifle]].<ref name="adatb"/>

Fones' subsequent fate is unknown, as his Sergeant, Stacker, was later found in the city without his squad present.<ref name="H2-metropolis">''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref>
