After that rather horrifying incident, ONI has decided to have the capture of the human. Based on his bio and blood samples, it is determined that the human is a Spartan: Specifically a Spartan-iii. Dr Halsey explained that this particular Spartan is similar to A239, only that he was conducted after the death of his entire family by the Covenants and Insurrectionist. His name is redacted and was thus given the codename of Ghost. He speaks in a British accent, but he speaks in an unnerving tone that sends chills down even on the toughest of Spartans - except for Avery Johnson.

Blue team were sent to find Ghost, but instead he finds them... Sort of. Covenants were being massacred by Ghost as he went through on a warpath. He soon stopped after he saw Blue team.

Ghost: Why are you here?

Linda: Remember me?

Ghost: The Spartan that I saved a month ago.

??: He saved you?

Linda: Yes Kelly.

Ghost: Kelly-087, fastest Spartan and human alive.

Kelly: Big fan of Spartan-2s?

Ghost: Just admiring them. [Turn to the other Spartan] Fredric-104, second best Spartan.

Fred: Please, call me Fred.

Ghost: There is still one that you forgot to answer.

?: We're here to bring you back to the UNSC.

Ghost: [Crosses his arms] And if I don't, Jane-117?

Jane: Then we'll have to use force.

Ghost: Sorry beauty, but I rather work without restrictions.

(Jane: Did he just call me Beauty?

Brain: He did.

Jane: Oh and how do you know?

Brain: Girl, I'm your brain

Jane: Let's just get him and be done with the mission...

Brain: And have some fun with him~

Jane: Shut up)

Ghost starts to move away from the Spartans, intending for them to make their move. The Spartans came close to him as he readied a machine. They got too close and the spartan-iii immediately vanished of thin air. The team is bewildered by the fact Ghost just disappeared. They formed a circle to track where Ghost is.

A Brute Chieftain burst through the metal door, making the Spartans aiming their weapons at the brute. However, something odd is happening with the brute. It started with some growling sounds and then screams of agony as the brute is blown apart from the inside out, spilling it's guts everywhere. It turns out Ghost was inside of the brute without any explanation, except if it has to do when Ghost disappeared.

Ghost: You're coming or what?

Ghost walk towards the entrance the brute has made, with the Spartans trailing along.

Jane's POV

We were walking down the hallway with our target not showing any worry nor fear. The covenant that we pass by, were petrified by just the sight of Ghost. I still can't stop thinking about that time Ghost called be "beauty". His skull is that if Emile's, but it's more into being worn out and without a jaw. I stopped my thoughts when we are at a blast door.

I asked Cortana of a solution, but instead Ghost just us brute force to open - tearing down the door. Damn he's really strong. "An exo-skeleton, combined with the existing Mjölnir armor makes for impressive strength and speed", Ghost said to which he entered the structure. I can now see why ONI wanted this Spartan.

We walked some more till Ghost stops for a moment. We all halted on the spot.

Ghost: They know we would be coming. Good.

Jane: What is it?

Ghost: The Elites love to hide in plain sight. Give me a moment.

He took out a sword from his back and waited. At that point I thought he was crazy, but it's after that impressed us all. He zips side to side and slice the air. At first we thought it was nothing, but then blood began spilling out of the ground. The cloak began to vanish to reveal Elites that was close to strike us.

Ghost: The Covenant never likes quiet for too long.

Linda & Kelly: Impressive.

Fred: I gotta say, that is faster than Kelly's top speed.

Kelly: And that's saying something.

Ghost shrugged and moved on with the next corridor.

The way he draws his weapon, his fighting style, his tactics; he is a maniac. He tear enemies to shreds; didn't care if he died; Rarely bothers us; and he is more like my mind set but it's absolute chaos. My team and I try to think of a plan to bring him back to the UNSC without aggravating him. Ghost, meanwhile, is just standing and watching our backs as we were conducting a plan to get him to ONI.

Every time I looked at him, there is something inhuman about him. Maybe it's the mask or his personality or his tactics... It's all out the windows!

Kelly: What's the plan with him?

Linda: I'd say we snag him with the armor locker.

Fred: I still can't believe that he killed that Brute in the inside out.

Me: Whatever the case may be, we should not be looking suspicious to each other.

At that point, my teammates is looking at me. I was confused at first, until Cortana told me, "Ah... Chief? You may want to turn your back". I slowly turn by head and body to see Ghost standing infront of me with his arms crossed. I jerked a little and move back a bit from him.

Ghost: We should get moving. There is a chance the Covenant may bombard the place. Unless we kill the shipmaster.

The shipmaster? I didn't know they would come down, but I guess we should.

Me: Why attack the shipmaster?

Ghost: [Stops walking] One word: Chaos. If we take out the one conducting this ops, the covenant below would scramble. Without someone to lead, there will be Chaos, providing us with some time.

Me: But why the shipmaster? Wouldn't they be in their ships?

Ghost: I've studied their behavior and most often than not, the shipmasters are arrogant enough to bring themselves down.

I get the idea and we continue on with Ghost.

We reached a star port, where the Covenant is rounding up humans into their ship; taking them as prisoners. We Spartans swore to protect human lives and ensure their sacrifice is not in vain. Ghost seems different. He sees many opportunities, many them we think is stupid. However, Ghost manages to make them work. He drops down and opens a flare. The Covenant followed him into he city streets. I ordered my team to take the space craft, while I go see what Ghost is doing.

I reached him and he is placing bombs near the columns. I can't see why he would do that. He then entered a building behind him. I followed him in, just as a covenant army marches towards us. I can hear their leader beginning to speak.

Leader: Ghost! I only wish for you to come into Covenant custody or face blood.

Ghost didn't respond.

Leader: I am only giving you this chance. Hand yourself over and you may live under our rule.

Psychological tactic, very good, but I don't think it would be enough.

Leader: Fine! If it's blood that would bring you, then I shall slain the humans on board.

No response. At this point, I should've just leave, however, the covenant seems to have lost their patience.

They march towards the town and in doing so, Ghost waited with something in his hand. As they closed in, he detonate the bombs, causing the massive buildings to fall on top of them; thus crushing almost all of the army. However, there are a few lucky ones. We both got out of the building and Ghost started killing the survivors. I was about to ask him, but he answered first:

Ghost: If a message ever gets to the Covenant, they will glass the planet in their hopes of killing me.

I began to question myself on the mission, but we still needed to finish our mission. Still capturing Ghost.

The shipmaster emerged from the rubble and ran towards Ghost. He had his back turned, with the Elite rushing towards him. I shot my rounds from the assault rifle, but they merely get deflected by the energy shield. Ghost turned around and shot the energy sword, blowing the Elite's arm. It dropped to the ground as it clenched his blown up arm. Ghost walked up to the Elite and simply shoot two bullets in the head and then slices the neck. He grabbed the head and out it in his "backpack". He turns towards me, gave me a thumbs up and thanked me. "Thanks for dropping the shield". I walked up to him and we both head back and regroup with the others.

Fred asked us, "What's with the explosion?". Turn my glance towards Ghost, who is just standing with his arms crossed. My team get the idea and soon UNSC ships began to come down from the sky and landed on the ground. We escort our asset to Johnson, who is just smoking his cigar as per usual. What's surprising is that Mom is there as well.

Johnson: Well I'll be damned with that "Asset" of yours would be missing from the keen eyes of the best. Nice work, Chief.

Me: All in the day's work.

Kelly: If you call his doing, our work.

Johnson: Hmm... [Look to Ghost] If I haven't seen death's head had a variation, then it has to be this. And of course the collateral damage you've just made.

Ghost: It was necessary, due to the army's size.

Johnson: Well, it looks like we have one more crazy fool. [Glances at me]

Mom: I am curious. What drives you to do these drastic plans and situations? Many spartans would be better suited for these Operations...

Ghost: Yet, they're still human. If a human can die, why not a Spartan? Though the mortality rate of a Spartan is rather low.

Mom: You've seen my work.

Ghost: The Spartan program is your work. I am merely a candidate.

I can't help, but agree. Though his reasoning is quite straight forward. We all entered the ship and I am place beside Ghost. I rather have this, because I would like to know more of him.
