A/N- Hi, crazyJman80 here, i would just like to say i am really excited to do this one, Halo and Clannad… Damn, i really have come along way since saint and ghosts… Well, maybe not.

Well anyway, this story is taking place in a Halo timeline with the Clannad setting.

the story, for reasons i will not discuss, takes place in a universe where Ushio and Nagisa both died and Tomoya is left alone. Also it's in the Halo universe the year is 2530.

For now, this story will be rated T, although undoubtedly it will be ranked up to M because you know, its Halo. Lots of verbal hate against the Grunts, foul mouthed SPARTAN's and Marines and lots of violence.

There is only a few differences with the story, Youhei Sunohara is a former ODST [Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]. That comes in handy in this chapter.

Oh well, i guess someone had to. Enjoy.

Japan, Earth. June 06, 2530. 09:17.

...

Tomoya Okazaki had had enough of this, this life he was forced to live. Nagisa, his wife had died many years before and his only daughter, Ushio, died ofthe illness as Nagisa. He needed to leave, his life has only gotten worse since that day. Now he was finally going to do it, he said to Nagisa along time ago that he wanted to leave this town. Today, he was going to. But not to another town or even to another country, he was going to leave Earth on the next civilian slipspace jump to… anywhere else. He was just about finished packing up, he filled the last of his suitcase with his clothes and things that he was going to bring. Akio was supposed to show up around now to help Tomoya as he moved, primarily to take the stuff that Tomoya doesn't want or need back with him to a public storage place or something. Anyones guess if he would.

The door knocked, that had to be Akio. Tomoya started to walk over to the door. As he walked through his apartment, he noticed just how much stuff Akio was going to walk away with. His old TV, couch, kitchen stuff, and Ushio and Nagisa's old stuff… wow, 13 years later and he still has all of their old stuff here, the whole Dango family and some of their clothes that they had. Probably what was depressing Tomoya was the fact that he was reminded everyday of what he lost. At least now, there would be nothing to remind him of the old. He reached the door and opened it up. It was Akio.

"Hey Tomoya." He said with his usual low toned voice. "So, skipping town today." He declared.

"Yeah, i just need to leave." Tomoya responded. He was set to leave for a civilian transport to Eridanus II in just a few hours. He was already set to leave in just a few minutes. Tomoya spoke up "Just take whatever you want, i don't care." He tried to leave after saying that but Akio stopped him in his tracks.

"Hold on Tomoya." Akio told him holding his arm out to stop him. Tomoya just kept on walking suitcase in hand.

"I'm going, there's nothing you can do to stop me." Tomoya stated.

"I know, i just want to warn you-" Tomoya cut him off.

"About what?"

"Eridanus is a outer colony and you know what is happening out there." He was referencing to the war that was currently going down out there with the alien race known as the Covenant. "It's a full blown war out there, if you go…" He paused, he really was concerned about Tomoya. "You might actually die out there." Tomoya wasted no time responding to that one.

"Just means that i get to see Ushio and Nagisa again." He told him. With that statement, Akio let Tomoya go. That was a cheap shot, even for Tomoya. He almost got to the stairs when Akio called out to him.

"If you insist on going!" He started "Just remember-" Tomoya cut him off again.

"That's the problem, i remember everything." He was referring to Ushio and Nagisa. He walked down the stairs and saw a cab waiting for him, he walked over to the cab and got in. "UNSC departure station." He told him as he slammed the door shut. The car started to speed off, Akio watched as his son in law, left for what seems like the last time. It would be along while until Tomoya returns.

….

The car ride was a long one, Tomoya had nearly fallen asleep by the time he reached the station. Tomoya had to stay awake otherwise he wouldn't be able to pay the cab driver when the ride was over. The cab driver had been bored the whole ride over, found that Tomoya wasn't in a talking mood, he had tried to get a conversation with him, but he just ignored him. Finally he asked him a question that would hit Tomoya hard. "Got any kids?" Those 3 words got Tomoya to speak.

"Shut up." Is all Tomoya had to say.

"Soft spot, huh?" The cab driver said.

"I really don't want to talk about that." Tomoya said to the driver.

"Why not?" He asked. Tomoya didn't like talking about his dead family, that's just something you just don't bring up around anyone like Tomoya. "Well?" The driver insisted. Tomoya finally cracked.

"I had a daughter." Is all he said.

"Had?" He asked. "Was she in the UNSC?" Tomoya didn't respond. "So is that what it is?" He asked. Tomoya still didn't respond. He figured that was probably what it was. "You know, my son was a ODST." The cab driver said. "He was stationed out on Harvest a few years back, he was there because of the war and…" He paused. " He died along with most of the planet, not a day goes by that i don't think about it." He said as he made a turn that would lead to the station. "For the first few months, i tried to ignore it, i tried to forget and i tried to pretend like he didn't exist…" He paused while still driving. "You know, you shouldn't dwell on things like that." He told him some excellent advice. Tomoya only continued to ignore him, he really didn't care about anyone elses problems.

Some time had passed since the driver finished his story. The station was actually in sight now, he was finally going to get off this rock. "Just let me off here." He told him. The car pulled over and stopped next to the drop off point. He grabbed his suitcase and got out his money to paid the driver. He watched the driver as he pulled away, he turned around and to his surprise, he found people were here waiting to ambush him. Kyou, Kotomi, Ryou, Mei, Youhei and Tomoyo. They were waiting for him to show up. He really wasn't surprised by this, he figured Akio had tipped someone off that he was here. "What do you guys want?" He asked.

"What do you think?" Tomoyo told him. "We're here to stop you from leaving." Tomoya only shrugged at that thought.

"Too late, already paid for my trip out of here. I'm leaving." Tomoya is serious, he legit wanted to leave right then and there. Youhei got in his way. "Not letting you leave." Mei got up and actually pushed him back.

"You won't be leaving earth." She told him.

"Why not?" Tomoya asked. Kyou was the one yelled at him next.

"Because you have no idea what you're getting into!" She yelled. " The Eridanus System is a outer colony and the aliens are destroying a lot of the outer colony, it will only be a matter of time before Eridanus is glassed like Harvest!" Tomoya continued to walk forward, he had no interest in them right now. "Tomoya!"

"Leave me the hell alone!" Tomoya snapped. "I just want to leave!" Everyone looked at him, he was causing a scene and nobody wanted to be here because of it. "Now, let me through." He told Youhei and Mei. They both stepped aside. Everyone watched as Tomoya left, he was going to leave everything he once knew behind, and he didn't care. He almost got to the door when Youhei called over to him.

"Okazaki wait!" He yelled, Tomoya turned around and saw he had ran over to him. "I get it, there probably isn't anything that will get you to stay here on earth with all the friends you have." He started, "But i think you shouldn't go alone." He told him. "You should at least have someone around that you can talk to, right." Tomoya didn't say anything. There wasn't much to say. He finally had a reason for him not to come.

"Don't you need your stuff or need to stay here with Tomoyo or whatever?" He asked.

"No. I got friends on Eridanus." He said so casually. "I got a place to stay there, hell i can get you a place to stay while you're there." He told him. Tomoya had run out of reason to go alone. He looked at the others still outside, they clearly had no clue what he just said. He agreed. "Great, lets get going then." He said so easily, as they started walking to customs, Tomoya had heard the others come running in, obviously to stop him and Youhei from leaving. He turned around to Me I started complaining at her brother not to leave. For a moment, he legit thought he was going to stay, but after a moment, he saw her face change from frantic to keep him on earth, to sad that he was about to leave. Tomoya knew that this isn't the first time Mei has had to watch Sunohara leave, he was an ODST after all. Youhei came back over by Tomoya and said. "Lets get going.

Tomoya was expecting customs to stop and check them, but all Youhei had to do was flash his ODST badge and they got through with no problem [your security sucks- ZeroQ] Tomoya and Youhei got aboard the civilian transport. Tomoya had gotten a seat next to a window. Lucky him, he had walked into the ship after a long hallway, Youhei obviously was unphased by the ship. Tomoya was now walking to where his seat was, the kind woman greeting everyone welcomed them to the ship. "Welcome. This ship is going to Eridanus II." She told them. "Enjoy the trip." She said as they continued on looking for their seat. Tomoya had passed a few rows a seats before he found his. He put his suitcase with all his stuff in the compartment above and then sat down. Lucky for them, there were extra seats on the ship, so Sunohara got a seat next to Tomoya.

Tomoya looked out the window as he waited for the ship to take off and take him somewhere far away. Sunohara had strapped himself into the seat he was in, the coms had gone off and the woman who greeted them had started talking, but Tomoya had tuned her out. He had actually started to doze off. What woke him up was the sound and feel of the ship taking off. The rumble was evidence enough the ship was flying. Tomoya had always been afraid of flying. Fortunately how calm Sunohara was is enough for him to keep the crap and piss in Tomoya rather than out. The ship had started to elevate higher and higher. After a good 45-50 seconds, the ship was finally at an altitude safe for a slipspace jump,Tomoya held on to the chair for his life, he had no clue what to expect. He asked Youhei. "Hey Sunohara?"

"What?" He responded.

"Sunohara. What the hell should i expect for this slipspace jump." He asked, Youhei laughed before responded.

"Just hold on and keep breakfast down." He chuckled.

The ship started rumble louder and faster and then, a minor sound of a explosion is heard. A sonic boom for lack of a better term. The ship stopped shaking for a moment, then through the window Tomoya could see out of, he looked down on earth for the last time, then like a rollercoaster, he was pushed back into his seat and he could feel them pulling A LOT of G's. The ship had made a slipspace jump. And for a moment, Tomoya couldn't hear anything. Then when he came back around, he looked out the window to see what he was expecting. His destination, his salvation, his new home. He had finally made it. Eridanus II.
