Breaking the Cycle

by Kylandor

Haruhi is recruiting new members and puts the potential brigade members through a series of tests to determine who gets in, meanwhile Kyon has an otherwise unfriendly encounter with Suyoh and a familiar face, but something seems out of order and why is it that Mikuru is so terrified of one of the Freshmen Recruits? Rated T for violence and romance

1. Foreword

Chapter 0 : Foreword - Hello readers, I'm Kylandor. but you know that because I'm the one writing this fanfic :)

I have not abandoned fanfiction writing, I merely have been doing research (Reading Manga, taking vacations, thinking of "what if" scenarios) to break the writers block and at the same time satisfy your unquenchable thirst for more chapters. I decided to put in a foreword for this first chapter of a new series mainly to awnser any questions you might ask after reading this.

This takes place during the events of The Surprise of Suzumiya Haruhi arc and will focus on relating points and then branching off in an Alt. Universe. I will explain some things in an afterword if I think it's not obvious "such as who made what quote or any reference I feel has the need to be explained".

I would appreciate constructive criticism in reviews or PMs (preferably reviews, I check them irregularly though often). I was thinking of this foreword being in my profile but I will assume most readers are browsing through the crossovers list letter by letter like I am looking for either a specific crossover line or something that catches their eye (like a crossover that has never before been done on , considering that as far as I know there has yet to be a Suzumiya Haruhi/Metal Gear Solid crossover prior to my "The Gods" Saga of stories.

Outright insults or unconstructive criticism which is standard for most of my experiences and also the M.O. of trolls & haters will be widely ignored and, if I figure out how on fanfiction net, removed.

This fanfic will start during the Surprise of Suzumiya Haruhi act or more generally. The events that are portrayed in Book 18 of the currently ongoing Suzumiya Haruhi manga (this is also the most recent book I possess though I know of future events thanks to wikipedia and can work my way to them, though wikipedia doesnt give too many spoilers (Which normally would be a good thing, but you'd be asking for spoilers if your looking into it on wikipedia, so normalcy doesn't apply here)

Last but not least a disclaimer and extended summary (dont worry I'll have posted the actual first chapter storywise seconds after I post this).

Disclaimer : I do not own The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi. It is owned by the respective holders. I do however have rights to certain Original Characters I use in my fanfictions (Particularily Ray Zenji). This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are objects of imagination and are used in fictionous settings and situations. Any resemblance to real life events and people both living & deceased are coincidental (Unless Haruhi rewrote the universe to what it is now).

Summary - It's the SOS-dan's 2nd school year and there are several unlucky freshmen seeking to join the SOS-dan out of curisosity. Nagato is dealing with more flu-like symptoms as a result of the Canopy Dominion's interference regarding the Brigade. Kyon intends to try and help Nagato through negotiation with Sasaki and her friends though something else is starting to bother him slightly. Why is it out of all the freshmen intending to join the SOS-dan is there only one person, an American studying abroad is the only one who seems to be able to keep up with Haruhi...yet alone seemingly enjoying every second of it...and why Mikuru seems uneasy with his presence more so than she has ever been around Nagato.

Afterword

The term -dan applied after SOS, (SOS-dan) basically means Brigade, whenever SOS-dan is present, it means SOS Brigade.
