Main article: Battle of Mombasa

During the Battle of Mombasa, Fones and his squad, led by Gunnery Sergeant Marcus Stacker, were dispatched from the UNSC In Amber Clad to infiltrate the Covenant Syfon-pattern assault carrier Solemn Penance with John-117. Their D77-TC Pelican was shot down over Old Mombasa by a Protos-pattern Scarab. Having survived the crash, Fones reported that 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 Anskum-pattern plasma grenade had landed on Fones' helmet. Fones quickly removed his headgear and hurl it toward the camouflaged Sangheili's position on higher ground. Revealed, the Sangheili took Walpole hostage; Butkus fired an overcharged shot at the Sangheili, disabling his energy shields, allowing a fellow ODST to kill the Sangheili with a headshot.[1] Along with the rest of his squad, Fones defended Hotel Zanzibar, then met up with John-117.[2]
