File No. 1211-2343-7642 Attention ONI/UNSC Command. Aug,2nd 2560.

It has been well over 30 years since Harvest. One name has been suppressed for many years. This man was not a spartan nor was he a UNSC Soldier. Ryu Yamato name should sound familiar to those who knew his father. UNSC Colonel Isuzu Yamoto. He spent many years honing his skills as a sword master. He moved to Harvest to try to teach others there a few years before the attack leaving his old Ken do school behind on Tokyo, Earth.

He opened a school of his own on Harvest. What is not known however was that he survived the initial attack on Harvest. Our Details on how he survived then made a 100 mile trek to a run down UNSC base are sketchy at best.We only have guesses of what happened after he left the base is unclear just before Vice Admiral Preston Cole liberated the planet. Rumors popped up about a strange man wearing armor and two swords who challenged Elites to single combat. When Harvest was lost we never found out if he was still alive or not.

But it was he who made the Covenant afraid of us. It was he who made them realize how dangerous we were. I don't blame him really since it is still unclear whether we provoked it or The Covenant at the time wished it to be this way. Probably both but we will never know. Review these video files then return them to me for further analysis. Lt. Commander Shanna Kiersten ONI/Archives.

"Life to you stepson and everlasting glory. " Thifes World.

The Master Chapter One

Ryu Yamato walked towards the wreckage of his school. This area was filled with different schools for the marshal arts up in the hills. As he got closer he had seen other schools destroyed as well. His sandaled feet reached the schools outer wall. It looked like his old Dojo on earth. It had looked like it until war came to this planet. Who they were he did not know but they had come to kill any human. He entered the shattered courtyard.

The wind blew silently. He could smell the dead bodies inside. He looked up at the peaceful night into the twin moons above.
It was still breathtaking that they hung in the night sky.
He walked on entering the practice hall. Ken do sticks lay broken across the hall floor. Something had blown a hole in the roof of his school but this was not what he had come for. He walked into his simple quarters. He opened a false bottom moving his tatami mat.

Then punched in the safes code. He took out several pieces of armor first. All were made from lightweight materials like the marines armor except his were modeled after the ancient samurai.
His swords made from titanium alloy. Each blade had been made on earth with new and old techniques. His Disho were here in case of bandits or rebels who wished to bring there conflict to his school. He had a different purpose in mind. He also drew out a M6G-Magnum. His father had made him practice with the weapon allot. It had a scope on it for shooting distant targets a gift from his father who was worried about his son on such a distant world.

He drew out a emergency back pack enguf for two. He shut the safe. The last item was a picture of his missing wife. He took his favorite wicker hat leaving everything as it was. Then set out to find these aliens. He exited his school leaving the Ken do school behind. He headed off where he has seen these aliens guard a bridge. He dropped his pack some ways off then approached the bridge. The Dog looking aliens turned to face him each wore blue armor. Five shorter squat aliens looking much like monkeys held there pistols in hand. He walked up them as each of the small aliens pointed pistols in his direction.

A silence fell as one of the larger ones laughed. " Worg worg worg." Then spoke in its alien language apparently telling the smaller ones to surround him. He smirked at this. He made a one stroke cut killing two of the small orange aliens. He swiftly used one small alien as cover as the three others plastered the body with plasma fire. He pushed the body down rushing the three small orange aliens. His blade chopped off one arm gushing purple blood. Another was cut in half the last died to a stab to the chest. They had armor on but his blades could punch through tank armor.

The two body's fell as he drew his sword from the third he turned to face the bigger aliens who looked at each other. They spoke in hush tones trying to make sense of the situation. Ryu could feel a small breeze stir at his feet this night. He lowered his blades waiting for the aliens to come forward to challenge him. They each drew out metallic blades that looked deadly. Each were crescent shape at the hilts then got pointy at both ends. Deafening silence filled the air. He positioned his feet as the stand off happened. Both races evaluated each other with a discerning eye. Each looked at the other then the aliens bellowed a war cry unintelligible in there language.

They Charged the sword master who drew his second blade going two style on them. Ryu rushed forward at the one in the middle who clipped his shoulder armor. He had been moving to the side lucky to give the alien being a slice to the Chest then back. He encountered shields. One slice took down the shields then he stabbed the alien in the back. His Blade exploded through the Tall aliens chest. It finally dropped to its knees then pitched forward onto the stone bridge. Ryu drew his blade out facing the other two who had run past to surround the human who was not there but behind them. They spun around fast like a panther.

One of the big blue aliens leaped at him stabbing for a killing blow to the chest. Ryu used both blades to block the death-stroke. He was pushed back by the force of the blow three feet skidding to a stop as he leaned forward. Surprised the big aliens has such strength. Ryu was panting now. All his training had never prepared him for this. The alien was agile & strong but its only weakness was that it was bigger. Somewhat skilled with a blade but not at his level yet.

They danced around as both stabbed parry ed then blocked each others blows. His alien enemy had gotten too over confident then struck with a slice downwards as Ryu moved aside expecting the blow since the alien repeated the move twice all ready. He struck as the alien was vulnerable, stabbing the shield then spinning 180 degrees his blade cut his enemy's head off. Purple blood gushed out as the body dropped to the ground.

The last alien rushed him as Ryu rushed the alien both leaped for a killing blow. The blades clashed, Ryu clutched his side bleeding from the wound. His opponent's had underestimated him this one was no different. The big alien fell over clutching its chest. Ryu had hit twice in mid air but still he had been clipped. Weakly He stood up. Walking over to where his emergency pack lay. He found the first aid kit to stanch the wound. Had he not been in armor that blade would have done more than a laceration on his rib cage. He put omni gel on it as well that seemed to cool down the burning. Laying looking up at the night sky for a few moments before the gel numbed the pain. placing a bandage's over the wound he got to his feet. His Emergency pack slung around his back now he trudged on over the stone bridge leaving the dead aliens in his wake.

I sifted through some data from the Elites who broke away from the other Covy's. It mentions A guard detail that were watching a bridge. It seems they were killed by some sort of human blade. Only one Grunt survived the encounter mumbling about a " Demon".

Lieutenant-General Isuzu Yamoto has asked us to make a investigation to his sons where abouts. ONI has had this request for some time now. But i felt to talke it on hence my intial request. The Genral Feels his son is a Hero that we should find out if he is still alive.I have other information to look into as well. He might have been captured or i might pick up fresh information. I can say he is not on High Charity for certain. I will keep looking into it. If he is truely alive this could be a great boost to not only the UNSC but all of Hummanity. L.t.

Really unique and interesting take on the Halo universe!

Shameless plug for my blog:

Check it!

Interesting story, but you need to work on your 'flow' when writing; there is no fluidity to the piece, it reminds me of a telegram.

The answer here is punctuation, use of colons and semicolons rather than fullstops tells people when to take a breath when reading, whereas fullstops halt the sentence altogether; making for a hindered reading experience.

Overall though, nice work! Enjoyed the story side of it and your action scenes are well written, if you had that fluidity sorted out it would be great!

"Life to you stepson and everlasting glory. " Thifes World.

Yeagh it might need a rewrite but im doing this seat of pants. Ive got a good story in mind. It should flow togeather. Right now its in a few pecies but thank you, it just came to me recently. One Day i said to my self what if a Human Sword Master Met An Elite. It wont seem so random once i put the other pecies in. I probly need to go back and dot the i's ect proper context puntuation ect. Thank you for reading and the Hepful comments. Its hard sometimes to challange a readers thinking in a detailed universe such as HALO.

I Spent 4 years in Misawa,Japan when my father was in the U.S Air Force. I still have a love for the culture, Food people and History. When i watch some Anime or i find a place where i live that serves good Jappanese food it takes me back. I know of recent events and it takes time money and people to fix problems.Thank you i hope you enjoy the story.

"Life to you stepson and everlasting glory. " Thifes World.

Lady of Mercy

Ryu had walked all morning when he had herd crying from the path ahead. This was a some what forested area. He had been traveling to a destination he knew of due to his father being stationed there. He walked down the path seeing a red haired woman siting on a suitcase. He recognized her as one of Master Brown's Daughters. She looked up seeing him with a pink handkerchief in hand. It had a white Lilly sewn into the fabric.

Ryu smiled at the young woman. " Hello." Her sobs were choked back as she ran forward hugging him. She seemed to be glad to see any one. She dabbed more tears these were tears of joy.
Her voice was soft yet sad. " You are the first human Ive seen alive. Are the Marines coming UNSC ?." He did not answer her question directly. " Perhaps but lets get you out of here. I know a safe place but it will be a long journey. How far along are you. ?" He pointed at her bulging belly. She nodded taking her suit case in hand." I'm six months. I'm old enuf to have a baby at 18. " He smiled again not saying anything. " Yes well lets go. It would be wise not to talk unless necessary. These Aliens have good hearing so let us be silent as we leave here.

They kept traveling farther and farther away from human civilization. The forest had gotten ticker with bigger trees. Different paths. They rested frequently, During this trip to head towards the mountains. A Ship passed overhead a few times each time they hid in the brush until it passed.

Stopping for lunch at a small river they both rested. She looked still in shock over what ever happened to her Ryu did not wish to broach the subject. Instead he felt her pain and grief. His wife had gone into Paradise a town not more than 10 miles away to get there early at the Farmers Market. She loved to shop for fresh food. He had gone to a Meeting with other masters to give donations and to help charities in the community.

He was suppose to meet his wife in the market square so they could go down to the wharf negotiate for fish. Then look at the sea together. But the invasion came. He was late getting to the square as the invaders blew the market apart. He recovered his wife's body taking her to the hospital. She was all ready dead no medicine in the universe could revive her now. So he left her there on a gurney. He felt numb inside yet he walked all the way back to his school. Now he only feels hatred at the aliens for taking the woman he loved.

As they left there lunch spot behind. A plan formulated in his mind. His duty was to get this woman to safety. No one would expect less especially his father. His plan was to wage a one man war against these Aliens but he had to tend to these matters. They moved closer and closer to the mountains. It would take two days at least to reach the mountain summit. Then cross the mountain path. That's what his map said at least.
He walked up front while the pregnant woman carried her suitcase behind him. What ever was in the suitcase was very important to her. He kept focused on reaching there goal.
