The year is 2613. Humanity has extended it's influence on the galaxy. People are Recovering from the war. Forgetting what has happened. The Master Chief is gone now. They will never forget him. They have forgotten 1 hero. Spartan B-312. The last survivor from noble team. An unsuspecting young Rin Kagamine and an emotionally scarred soldier will forge a friendship, and his own internal battle will be won.

Soft, warm sunlight pours in on 18 year old Rin Kagamine laying in her bed. Her eyes flutter open, beholding the new summer day. She yawns, extending her arms to stretch out the weariness that morning brings. Life is good for her. She owns her own home, has her own car, buys her own food. Life is good. Rin sits up in bed to look outside. "I wonder what Reach looked like in war times?" She thinks. Every morning Rin walks out in her vast field of a backyard, lays down, and thinks. Sometimes she writes a book. Sometimes she looks for old pieces of glass from before Reach was terraformed.

Noble 6's POV

My head throbs with intense pain. It is hard to draw a full breath. I open my eyes, but everything is still dark. Panic hits. I move my arms to feel what is above me. It is... smooth... but wait, that means... I was caught under the Covenant's barrage of unforgiving plasma. I draw back my fist, and with the little strength i have left. it shatters. dirt pours in to my small glass coffin.

Rin's POV

I dry my hair off after the shower. "i should call Miku and see if she wants to hang out!" I say out loud. I rush into my room and grab my cell phone. I go to contacts and scroll down until i see the name Miku Hatsune. I press the call button. it rings. "Hi Rin" Miku's soft voice flows out of the phone. "Hey, i was wondering if you wanted to come over and maybe chat a little bit. You know, catch up." I reply. "I was about to call you to ask the same!" Miku says back. "Great, see you soon!" I say. With that, The call ends. I look outside and to my dismay, a large pothole has formed on my lawn. "ugh" I say.

Miku's POV

As I walk down the sidewalk, I admire the cherry blossoms above me. It is too early for them to fall. I inhale the sweet scent of summer, savoring each smell. Turning the corner, I see Rin's small house on the end of the cul-de-sac. I knock. a few seconds later, a flustered Rin opens the door. "Sorry, Miku, I'm a little pissed at the moment." she says. "How could you be mad when it's so nice today?" I inquire. "Come look!" She reply's angrily. Before I can react, Rin drags me outside. We walk a distance until we come across a good sized sinkhole. "I see what you mean." I say apologetically to the young girl. Rin opens her mouth to say something, but is cut off by a muffled scream.

Noble 6's POV

I hack out a loud scream as I try to claw my way out of my glass and dirt tomb when I hear people above me. I cannot move as the dirt starts to settle. I cannot breathe now. As I wait to suffocate, the dirt begins to stir. Soon I can sit up again. I reach my weak hand out to support me while getting up. Soon, i surface. Hacking and wheezing, my eyes try to adjust to the intense light. I draw my first full breath in god knows how long. I can see clearly now. A soft, small hand lands on my shoulder. Purely out of instinct, I roll forward, spin, and draw my combat knife. I am now in battle stance looking down at 2 frightened teenage girls.

Rin's POV

"Quicker Miku!" I yell to my friend. I cant believe that someone is buried in my yard! Almost there! Suddenly, faster than the eye could see, an abnormally large hand bursts from the ground. Next, a Humongous man sits up, gasping for air. I place my hand on his shoulder to calm him down, but to no avail. he rolls forward with extreme power, draws a deadly dagger, and gets ready to kill. Miku and I are stunned at the display. We can't help but look up to see his cold, scarred face. He looks down at us. I begin to back up and run back to the house. Finally, a calm expression crosses his face at his realization of his mistake.

Noble 6's POV

I gaze down at the scared girls, and sheathe my knife. I feel so dumb now. Dumbfounded, I don't know what to say. One is blonde, obviously the younger of the two. She has deep blue eyes and a white ribbon on her head. The other has a strange turquoise tone of hair. Defiantly the older. I glance between the two, still at a loss for words, when the older, more busty one speaks up. "A-are you okay?" I scan myself. "Where am I?" I ask, ignoring her question. Now, the blonde one speaks. "New New Tokyo, Planet Reach." She says in a puzzled voice. Oh my fucking god. But that means Reach acctualy... The realization almost makes me collapse to my knees. I barely am able to stifle a sorrowful moan of disbelief.

Rin's POV

He looks sad. Like just watched his family get rapped, then got his balls torn off, then his house catches on fire kind of sad. As I gaze at the stranger, a certain feeling stirs in my chest. He. Is. Cute. That is all that I can think. He now rests his shallow, piercing, cobalt eyes upon me. My heart feels as if it just drank 30 energy drinks as he scans me. I know he isn't checking my body out. The way he does it is, unnerving at the least. Like he did this routinely. Now, his silent-as-death- stare transfixes on Miku. The more busty one. Jealousy courses through my veins, but i cant help it. Wait... WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING! This random fucking stranger just pops out of MY LAWN LIKE A FUGGIN' DAISY! Although, I do doubt that she has any true emotion for him. Lets just say she has... "plenty of experience with men." He has a rugged, handsome face with a large, square, powerful jaw. There is signs of freckles on his face. Remanence of a boyhood long gone.
