History Fanfic / VandreadHalo

However, something changes all of this: during their intended course, the Tarak Fleet runs into the badly-damaged ''[[VideoGame/{{Halo}} Forward Unto Dawn]]'' and launch a crew to salvage it. While the pirates attack anyway and steal the Ikazuchi, catapulting themselves halfway across the universe in the process, they run into two unexpected guests they find during the raid: the legendary Spartan Master Chief, and his AI friend Cortana[[spoiler:, who has now gained a human form]].

* GentleGiant: While the pirates reasonably ''very'' wary of the Spartan, he assures them that he's not there to fight. Heck, he gives them and the men advice to help change their attitudes.

* ShipTease: Both canon ones and original ones created by the fic.
** Canon ones include: John x Cortana, Hibiki x Dita
** Fanfic ones include John, the best ground soldier, and Meia, the pirates' best fighter pilot an commander.
** Also Cortana and Bart, both being [[SpaceshipGirl Spaceship humans that control ships.]]

* CallForward: During one talk, Cortana talks to Bart about how being an AI isn't as ideal as it seems, especially due to flaws like "rampancy". [[spoiler:Cue ''VideoGame/Halo4'', where she falls victim to this.]]

* ForWantOfANail: Double Subverted. The Tarak fleet diverts well off course from their intended path when they encounter the Forward Unto Dawn wreckage. But the pirates attack anyway resulting in the series like in canon. But with John and Cortana aboard, the series goes through a significant GenreShift and CharacterDevelopment alters or comes early on.

Made by the [[AuthorExistenceFailure now passed-away author]], Freedom Guard, '''''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3847018/1/ Vandread Halo]]''''' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, combining a HaremGenre form a HumongousMecha series with a FirstPersonShooter consistsing of an AlienInvasion and a highly-trained, well-armored, and well-experienced SuperSoldier. While the two shows don't completely interweave, the crossover definitely shows its respectable mixes.

* GenreSavvy: Mango knows that while the Spartan is dangerous, there are some restrictions he has such as not fighting unless fired upon, protecting humans no matter who they are, and resisting to kill civilians since SpacePirates would count as non-combatants. However, she and many others of the all-female crew still know that attempting [[BullyingADragon trying to pick on the battle-hardened soldier is a very bad idea.]]

* OutsideContextHero: Master Chief and Cortana, given the power and training they have compared to...well, the rest of the crew.
** Lampshaded (in context of the OutsideContextVillain) so many times by the crew and other characters upon meeting the Spartan.

There is a sequel to the series named ''Vandread Halo: The Second Stage''. However, with the leading author gone, the fate of the series is unknown...

It starts off like the usual, TheHero of ''Anime/VanDread'', Hibiki Tokai sneaks onto a military ship that leaves well before it's scheduled launch. As he attempts to steal a marked mecha via bet back on his homeworld, he gets caught and thrown into the brig. In all the while, the SpacePirates prepare their surprise attack against the new fleet.

However, something changes all of this...During their intended course, the Tarak Fleet runs into the badly damaged [[VideoGame/{{Halo}} Forward Unto Dawn]] and launch a crew to salvage it. While the pirates attack anyway and steal the Ikazuchi, catapulting themselves halfway across the universe in the process, they run into two unexpected guests they find during the raid: the legendary Spartan Master Chief and his AI friend Cortana [[spoiler:now a human]].

* NotSoStoic: While Duero analyzes the Spartan, there are traces where he's more than impressed behind his emotionless mask.

* ButtMonkey: ''Averted'' now with Bart. Thanks to Cortana, he has more than enough help to smoothly earn his place within the crew.
** This can be said about the other man as well. Justified as the Spartan is one of those men and the women now fear trying to make him this is suicidal.

** Twice, the Chief tells abot his TrainingFromHell where teams who were last, notably those who didn't make the courses as a team, were not given dinner. HE uses the same method when training the women.
