As the [[Battle of Earth]] begun, Fred, Linda, and Will were sent to defend Earth for two weeks shortly after the Covenant arrived in the [[Sol system]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]]; John had followed the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]]'s ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' to [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 05]] aboard {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} shortly after the battle began.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> Blue Team participated in several extra-vehicular missions to repel Covenant ships in orbit over Earth, as well as several missions on the planet's surface; including, an operation to [[Ross Island|Mount Erebus]] to neutralize a Covenant excavation with a HAVOK nuke, and to the [[Yucatan Peninsula]] to eliminate Covenant forces on the nearby seafloor. On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], Blue Team was deployed to [[Havana|Havana, Cuba]] to [[Battle of Havana|eliminate]] Covenant forces attacking the [[Centennial Orbital Elevator]]. While Fred secured the elevator's ascent car, Will and Linda destroyed a [[Type-47 Scarab]] with a gasoline tanker truck. Discovering that the Covenant was attempting to steal twelve [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s, Blue Team ascended the elevator and requested a low-orbit extraction. However, Hood contacted them and ordered Fred to led Blue Team to [[Onyx]] to assist Halsey, who claimed that she had discovered a large cache of Forerunner technology on the planet.<ref name="goo203">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 203-213''</ref> When the Covenant deployed dropships to retrieve the nukes, Blue Team hid aboard one and the Covenant inadvertently brought them aboard {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]''.

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 name="goo218"/> Upon arriving at Onyx, ''Bloodied Spirit'' was [[Battle of Onyx|engaged]] by [[Onyx Sentinel]]s in orbit. As the ship crashed on the surface, Blue Team escaped in a Spirit dropship. On the surface, Fred, Will, and Linda regrouped and soon met with Kelly, who had been brought to Onyx with Halsey after the events in the Eridanus system.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 232-235''</ref> Kelly brought them to the thought-to-be-dead Kurt and the five Spartan-IIs began running to evade the oncoming Sentinels, with the help of Spartan-III [[Team Saber]] of [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]]. The Spartans rendezvoused with Halsey, Mendez, and [[Lucy-B091]] and [[Tom-B292]] of [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company]], where Kurt explained to his fellow Spartan-IIs and Halsey that he and Mendez had spent the last two decades training the Spartan-IIIs on Onyx. With Kurt taking command of all UNSC forces, the Spartans began combating the Sentinels.<ref name="goo252">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 252-258''</ref> | ||
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 | Returning to Blue Team's dropship, the humans embarked towards a Forerunner city within the restricted [[Zone 67]] aboard the Spirit.

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> | ||
As 'Mantakree led an assault on the core in an effort to claim Onyx for himself, the Spartans attempted to repel the aliens as the slipspace portal began closing. During the battle, both Holly and Will were killed and several of the Spartans were severely wounded. With the humans being overrun, Kurt ordered everyone to retreat into the slipspace rift while he would stay behind to ensure their attackers did not follow them. Before Fred and the rest of Blue Team entered, however, Kurt promoted Fred to the rank of [[lieutenant, junior grade]] and gave him command of Blue Team. While Fred, Mendez, Halsey, and the other surviving Spartans—consisting of Kelly, Linda, Tom, Lucy, Mark, [[Ash-G099]], [[Olivia-G291]], and Team Katana—traveled through the portal, Kurt sacrificed himself to wipe out 'Mantakree's forces.<ref name="goo361">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 361-367''</ref> | As 'Mantakree led an assault on the core in an effort to claim Onyx for himself, the Spartans attempted to repel the aliens as the slipspace portal began closing.
