Later, inside Ariel's generator complex, Agu and Miles were cut off from the remainder of the ODST unit. It was there that they learned that the Covenant was digging for something. After a brief engagement with two [[Sangheili]] (whose corpses were later used as shields to survive a generator explosion), the two found an injured [[Unggoy]]. They attempted to interrogate it, but its only reply was "Knowing".

The rest of the squad managed to kill the Chieftain, before realizing that Agu had been wounded from the impact of the blow. The squad headed for [[Kikowani Station (location)|Kikowani Station]], to escape the city through train tunnels, but realized the whole sector had been flooded by water. Here, Agu's condition worsened. After Buck administered [[biofoam]] to Agu's punctured lung, the squad decided to hijack a Phantom, and finally escape the city. Eventually, Agu and the rest of the squad escaped New Mombasa aboard the captured Phantom after going back and finding both the Rookie and Dare, who had emerged with [[Quick to Adjust|a captured Huragok]].<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''' campaign level, ''[[Coastal Highway]]''</ref> | ||

Agu continued to serve in Alpha-Nine in the years following the Covenant War, and joined the [[SPARTAN-IV program]] alongside Buck and Crespo in early [[2554]], after the Rookie's death and Dutch's retirement. In [[2555|August 2555]], Spartans Agu, Buck and Crespo were deployed to recover the [[Huragok]] now known as [[Quick to Adjust|Vergil]] and his human handler, [[Sadie Endesha]], from a [[United Rebel Front]] stronghold on [[Talitsa]]. During the mission, it was revealed that Crespo had betrayed the team and helped the Insurrectionists engineer a trap for the Spartans. Agu and Buck were captured by an overwhelming number of rebels, but on the way to the rebels' base Romeo began to insult Mickey and the rebels' leader, [[Schein|Dr. Schein]]. Irritated, Crespo struck Agu, inadvertently pushing him down a hill. With most of the rebel soldiers focused on Romeo, Buck took advantage of the confusion and engaged Mickey in hand-to-hand combat while Romeo began to eliminate the Insurrectionists. The two Spartans managed to fight off their captors, but with Buck having been injured by Dr. Schein, Romeo assaulted the URF base on his own and rescued Sadie and the Huragok while Buck guarded the unconscious Mickey.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', Chapter 17</ref> With their mission a success, the team returned to [[Mars]] where they turned Crespo over to [[Jun-A266]].
