''Headhunters'' focuses on the ghost-like Spartan-IIIs codenamed "~~Headhunters~~" operatives. Throughout their top secret missions, the contrast between the celebrated [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] and the secretive SPARTAN-IIIs is a key focus. Only ONI Section Three operatives know of their exploits.

Only ONI Section Three operatives know of their exploits.

The Headhunters are SPARTAN-IIIs selected for missions "secret even to their peers." Volunteers were forced to complete two or more training missions before being evaluated in a following seven months of supervised field exercises. Each unit was further tested through six months of wartime insertions. At the program's height there was a maximum contingent of six squads - six teams, with a total of seventeen soldiers rotating in to fill gaps left from MIA or KIA soldiers. Fireteams were comprised of two Headhunters, initially paired via exhaustive interviews and ONI profiling. The soldiers Jonah and Roland are rated as 'excellent' compatibility with 97.36 percent, the second highest score ever recorded.

After planting the bombs, Roland meets Jonah on the other side of the camp. Taking advantage of the Elite's sense of honor and superiority, Jonah taunts the surviving soldiers with a decapitated Sangheili head. Together, the Headhunters kill the remaining Covenant guards with little effort. Jonah disables the last Elite with two shots to the knee.

The wounded Sangheili accuses the SPARTANs of being dishonorable assassins; human vermin who strike from the shadows. Jonah in turn mercilessly mocks the wounded alien, pointing out the hypocrisy of the ~~Elite~~'s as soldiers who massacre unharmed civilians from orbit and use active camouflage to hide like cowards. Before the Elite can respond, Jonah executes the warrior with extreme prejudice, stabbing him in the throat and riddling his corpse with bullets.

Following this exchange, Roland is killed by an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] with a blood-red blade ~~held by a Spec-Ops Sangheili~~. Surrounded, Jonah ~~then taunts~~ the ~~specialized~~ Covenant warriors, ridiculing the great lengths they went to trap a mere two humans (an offense that would drive most Elites to a feral state). Wounded and captured, the Elites prepare to torture Jonah for their own amusement. Jonah realizes the importance of the Spec-Ops warriors, who were tasked specifically to kill Headhunters, and is comforted by the thought of trading his life for the six Sangheili. Even after his eye is burned out, Jonah is still able to detonate trigger for the explosives that Roland had rigged around the camp earlier. The Covenant camp is vaporized, along with Jonah and the advanced Sangheili specialists.
