Inside the vast [[core room antechamber]] of Onyx, Kurt and the Spartans assumed defensive positions around the [[slipspace portal]] leading to the shield world in order to prevent the Covenant from accessing it. As Covenant forces started [[slipspace translocation|translocating]] inside the chamber in increasingly large numbers, it quickly became clear that the humans would soon be overrun. Kurt then ordered the others to enter the slipspace rift before it closed, while he opted to stay behind and detonate the warheads. Kurt commissioned Fred as a [[Lieutenant, Junior Grade]] before sending them to the shield world in order to give the remaining Spartans a leader to follow.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 367''</ref> Eventually, only [[Tom-B292]] and [[Lucy-B091]] remained, hesitant to leave Kurt behind. Knowing they could not be convinced otherwise, Kurt knocked Tom out with a punch and hefted him into the rift. Though reluctant, Lucy finally obeyed Kurt's orders and stepped through the portal as well.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 368-369''</ref> | Inside the vast [[core room antechamber]] of Onyx, Kurt and the Spartans assumed defensive positions around the [[slipspace portal]] leading to the shield world in order to prevent the Covenant from accessing it.

Kurt, now alone and mortally injured, listed the Spartans fallen in the battle as MIA—including himself, alongside his former identity as SPARTAN-051. He successfully delayed the Covenant forces until the slipspace portal had closed. In his death throes, Kurt had a hallucination of all the fallen SPARTAN-IIs and SPARTAN-IIIs by his side, nodding and giving him the thumbs-up signal, forging his resolve to complete his one final task. Fleet Master Voro Nar 'Mantakree then approached him, gloating that once the "demon" was dead, the Covenant would reopen the shield world portal. Laughing in determination, Kurt replied ''"Die? Didn't you know? Spartans never die"'' and detonated the warheads, wiping out the Covenant army and thus preventing the Covenant from following his comrades and gaining access to the technologies inside the shield world.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 371-372''</ref> | Kurt, now alone and mortally injured from a previous firefight, listed the Spartans fallen in the battle as MIA—including himself, alongside his former identity as SPARTAN-051.
