The Last Spartan / Fan Fic | comment |
The Last Spartan is an Alternate Universe Halo/Mass Effect crossover Fusion Fic. After the prologue, a novelization of Halo 3's ending, a turian patrol discovers the remains of the Forward Unto Dawn floating in deep space...131 years after the events of the last game. In a historic moment, the Master Chief is thawed out of his Cryo Pod and awakens to a whole new galaxy, one where humanity has not only made peace with most of the former Covenant races, but has since joined The Citadel Council.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })While initially nonplussed about some decisions humanity has made about joining the Citadel races, Spartan-117 and Cortana both overcome their culture shock while the former grudgingly overcomes decades of wartime xenophobia to secure humanity's place in the galaxy...by becoming a Spectre.But all is not well in the galaxy, for Saren Arterius launches an assault on the human colony of Eden Prime in search of a powerful artifact, and while the Master Chief is unable to prevent him from using it nonetheless finds himself on a manhunt across the galaxy.The simplest way to describe this crossover is Master Chief put in Commander Shepard's boots, and for such a simple premise, it is awesome.It has also spawned two Spinoff fanfics, Desperate Measures and Last of An Ancient Breed: A Side Story to The Last Spartan. Tropes for them go at the bottom of the page.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A Dead Fic for almost two years, the first update in many months came on the 1st of January, 2017. After another seventeen months of inactivity though, the author announced on May 2, 2018 that he was ending the story for real this time. However, a July 31, 2018 post on Dino Jake's Tumblr announced new chapters would be uploaded for both The Last Spartan and Last of An Ancient Breed by the latter story's author Zgamer.The story was brought Back from the Dead on December 31st, 2018 with three new chapters from Zgamer and an announcement that he would be taking over writing duties on the story under Dino Jake's supervision. | |

Fangirl / Fanboy: Ashley and Jenkins towards the Master Chief, his historic influence being part of their inspiration to join the Alliance military. The Biotic Terrorist Leader immediately surrenders after seeing the Master Chief in person, he and his followers having seen him as a hero as well. It helps that at Kaidan's suggestion, Chief attempted to negotiate with them instead of depressurizing their ship and suffocating them as initially planned. | |

The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_144ec68f | comment |
Negated Moment of Awesome: Invoked and deconstructed in Chapter 24, when the return trip down the Prothean skyway sees N'tho about to "challenge" a geth hovercraft to a race/ramming run. Tali cuts N'tho's attempt to ram it off the skyway short by firing a needler into its pilot and tells N'tho point blank that she didn't want him to stoop to such antics. | |

Tempting Fate: Tali decides to drive with the Chief, thinking he can't be as bad as N'tho. It doesn't work. See the "Drives Like Crazy," entry for more details. N'tho invokes this on Noveria by thinking that the team won't encounter any monsters, twisted experiments or anything like that. Made even worse when he adds "probably" after that list. | |

Although no one says it to the Chief himself, Harkin and Saren (understandably) don't think John is the real McCoy, and is just an unusually tall soldier they put in similar armor as a publicity stunt. | |

The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: Twice so far. First when The Chief visits a memorial to his fellow Spartans and realizes he's the last one. A second one comes when Sha'ira advises him to open up more to his crew, telling him that by doing so (read: acting like a proper Western RPG protagonist) he will "no longer feel like the Last Spartan." | |

The Medic | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_1bf47ada | comment |
On the trip to Feros, Liara is skeptical of becoming The Medic given how little time she has to learn. Ashley reassures her that she doesn't have to learn enough to save lives but that her job is to make people feel more comfortable...while they die. The next chapter has Cortana alter her appearance so anyone else who sees her won't think she's the Cortana. Among other changes, her avatar color is now pink. When a dumbstruck Chief points this out, Cortana replies that she thought it was "lightish red." Furthermore, in the next chapter, Wrex calls Shotgun on the Warthog, and N'tho says "Shotgun! Wort!" | |

Stealth Pun: In chapter 10, the Chief comes across Garrus fiddling with the Mako. When pressed, Garrus said he thought the Mako's suspension was off and needed adjustment...another word for calibration. According to The Guardian, The Forerunners classified the Turians as "Species Delta-702" and the Krogans as "Species Delta-1404," implying that Krogans are basically twice the creature a Turian is. | |

White Man's Burden | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_1effdd6b | comment |
White Man's Burden: An example without white men... or men, actually. Kaidon Tyrannai has begun training Vorcha to supplement the Covenant forces. He explains that he remembers the Old Covenant, and views parts of it fondly... though he does gloss over the nastier aspects, he does admit that it failed when it came to the Prophets and humanity. He claims that it's the role of the stronger species of the galaxy to uplift and guide the weaker ones, in this case, the Vorchanote While this does come across as condescending, even in canon Mass Effect the Vorcha are considered barely better than vermin, and the Vorcha homeworld of Heshitok is described as a hellscape of lava and warring, anamalistic Vorcha tribes. Time will tell how this plays out in the story. | |

Mythology Gag | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The Chief hates riding in elevators, they take too long. While on the Citadel (and Reach) several squad members partake in activities that normally, Shepard takes care of as sidequests, such as scanning Keepers, investigating a murder threat, getting an undercover cop out of Chora's Den, and so on. A lot of characters have similar thoughts about elevators throughout the entire series. The Love Dodecahedron mentioned up above has Chief's possible romantic interests include Liara and Ashley as the prime contenders, with Tali as a possible one, and Kaidan as another possible LI. Liara and Ashley were the romantic interests for Male Shepard in the first Mass Effect game, Tali is one of the most popular choices for romancing in the second Mass Effect game, and Kaidan is a love interest for the third game. The name of Spartan B-312 (Noble Six) is the same as the name for the default Female Shepard (Jane). Spartan 051, Kurt, is described as having many of Male Shepard's characteristics, including the infamous trait of saying "I should go." ODST Vanderloo suggests that Chief punch al-Jilani if she tries to interview him again, similar to how Shepard could in canon. For the record, Mark Vanderloo is a real-world male model whose likeness was used for the appearance of the default male Shepard in the games. | |

The Stations of the Canon: While things have changed in this new universe, by and large the places Chief stops at are ones that you need to in the first Mass Effect game- Therum, Noveria, Eden Prime, and Feros prime among them. There are additions, to be sure- inclusion of Covenant species, a secret Forerunner bunker on Eltania, and more, but the major plot points are familiar enough. | |

Gas Leak Cover-Up: Halo's ability to destroy all sentient life in the galaxy has been dismissed as a conspiracy theory. The Chief, understanding the panic this could cause, goes along with it when N'tho asks. The Councilors, however, admit to having been briefed on Halo's true purpose shortly after First Contact and take it seriously enough to send a Spectre looking for it once The Chief discovers Saren wants it. | |

He's also written several thesis papers about alien cultures, and is able to hold a relatively sophisticated conversation about the sociological ramifications of the end of the Human-Covenant War, how it affected his species, and similar parallels in other races. | |

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: Captain Anderson mentions offhandedly that one of reasons no more Spartans have been made since the end of the Human-Covenant War was because all the data pertaining to their creation were destroyed with Castle Base during the events of Halo: First Strike. | |

The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: Vanguard Hunters, according to the author's notes. Justified because it's a giant alien monster the size of a truck that decides that something over there really needs to die, and then BAM, he's slamming into that something at unbelievable velocity. It's a terrifying combination. | |

Don't You Dare Pity Me! | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_38bb862f | comment |
Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Tali has this as a pretty strong character trait. She gets angry at the Chief (not letting him explain himself) when he notes that the chief engineer shouldn't have given her the access code for the ship's accounts (thinking that she's a civilian and those are military resources) and accuses him of not trusting her because she's a Quarian. It does drive her to prove herself to be worthy of the Ground Team, and absolutely refuses to take any aid from Cortana after The Reveal. | |

Noodle Incident: The Arbiter's fight with Miranda in Chapter 33 is their third encounter during his hunt for Cerberus. Kal'Reegar came back from his pilgrimage covered in blood, badly injured, with a suit that was ripped to shreds, and carrying a Gravity Hammer. When asked how he got said hammer, he simply responded "It wasn't easy." Wrex got into some trouble on the planet Sanves once and had to biotically manipulate a corpse to get out of it. | |

Reporting Names: During the First Contact War, Turians were initially dubbed "Raptors" though a few other Marines came up with names of their own, such as "boneheads" due to their skull-like faces. The former name has since become a Fantastic Slur. This trope was actually highly prevalent in the original Halo as well, as shown by the names of various species you face there (Sangheli become "Elites," Jilrhanae become "Brutes," and Unggoy become "Grunts.") | |

Smug Snake: Doctor Saelon, who faces Garrus with a smile on his face, certain that he won't get punished for the absolutely horrible things he's done, since he's a potential knowledge source on Saren and the Flood. This quickly ends when Garrus shoves him in a room with an unthawed Flood Infection Form. Kai Leng, and Miranda. Both Cerberus operatives, both highly effective. Miranda manages to outwit the Arbiter, confident in her ability to do so, and only fails because the Arbiter is too suspicious to accept her datapad (which was bugged anyway). Kai Leng is similar, except he's crazier. | |

Saren to The Prophet of Truth. Both villains lead armies of religious fanatics whilst nursing a hatred of humanity and a penchant for lying. However, Truth was a Non-Action Big Bad and a Dirty Coward who simply threw waves of Covenant at The Chief and fled him. Saren on the other hand, is more than capable of throwing down with The Chief in a one-on-one fight. Also, despite his campaign of genocide, Truth was a rather distant figure as far as The Chief is concerned, while Saren does everything he can to get under John's skin. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Plenty to go around of course. Master Chief himself has this problem initially, but it's justifiable, seeing as how before he was frozen, all aliens wanted to destroy his entire species. Initially, the only reason he took aliens with him was because they were useful, and was planning on getting rid of them at the first opportunity, simply because they weren't human. Ironically, Kaiden uses Chief's chewing out of Tali (after she used ship funds to get parts for the Normandy) and N'tho (after the incident with the Thresher Maw) to show how the Chief may have been yelling at aliens, but he wasn't being racist. Specifically, he was chewing out two members of his crew that made mistakes (Tali for not clearing the purchases with him, N'tho for being an idiot), not because they were a Quarian and a Sangheli. | |

Your Costume Needs Work: Although no one says it to the Chief himself, Harkin and Saren (understandably) don't think John is the real McCoy, and is just an unusually tall soldier they put in similar armor as a publicity stunt. Ethan Jeong is unimpressed when the Chief states he swore an oath to protect Earth and its colonies, and unlike the above two examples, openly calls the Chief a phony. The Chief's response puts him in his place though. | |

The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: N'tho 'Sraom is a competent, badass, (if wet behind the ears) Special Ops soldier and you can be forgiven for thinking otherwise. He's also written several thesis papers about alien cultures, and is writing another on the Normandy comparing the writings of a famous asari matriarch with his own culture. | |

Planet of Hats | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_67f26dcc | comment |
Planet of Hats: In true Mass Effect fashion, these hats come off quite often, and with the Covenant races to boot. Most prominent is N'tho, a Sangheili Spec Ops warrior who acts unusually informal and Crazy Awesome compared to the Elites we've seen in Halo canon. Likewise, while the few other hats have come off prominently, Kig-Yar, the Goddamned Bats of the Halo franchise, have settled into more benign mercantile professions...such as lawyers. When Chief first gets to the Presidium, he notices a Drone/Bugger/Yanme'e flying through the air... delivering pizza with an advertisement for her workplace draped over her. The party "Slip to the Future" reveals that this trope is the reason they're hoping for the Kig'yar to be the next Council Race after humanity- while the Sangheli are stronger militarily, their hat is being strong warriors... and only strong warriors. They're still overcoming millenia of being warriors exclusively, and trying to catch up on how to take care of themselves. When Ashley calls Wrex out for not identifying the Rachnai on Noveria, saying that the Krogan were the ones to wipe them out, Wrex turns it back on her by saying that while, yes, they did, it was two thousand years ago, and Krogan written records aren't all that impressive to begin with, so he had no idea what they looked like other than "Bugs," helpfully inverting a few of the Warrior Race tropes. Chief tries to hide the fact that Cortana managed to hack the Geth at Feros. Unfortunately for him, his teammate is a Quarian, whose Hat is both Technology and AI's, so she's immediately suspicious when he claims he hacked the Geth. Brutes are cannibalistic, huge, berserk monsters. One does not expect one to have a Quarian fetish, nor to have a friend tell him point blank that "You need help." | |

Serious Business: Meta example. The Jackal's beaks are this to the author, and according to him prompted him to refuse to recognize anything from Halo 4 (except the Prometheans) in his story. It's not clear how serious he was with that statement, as weapons and vehicles (as well as characters) have had references made to them or actually appeared, including the Mantis mecha, the SAW (Squad Assault Weapon), and a Rail Gun. | |

Meaningful Name: "Ustrina" is the ancient Roman name for the site of a funeral pyre.

Before that, she helped Horridus program a nuclear bomb and several trap mechanisms to fool Cortana into getting The Chief's team killed. Furthermore, her avatar is wreathed in flames. | |

Noble Bigot: Chief himself at the start of the story, on the basis that all the aliens he's encountered before then have been trying to shoot him. Ashley of course also has shades of this, but after a conversation with some of the other crew members seems to mediate her views a little bit. Tali is, for the most part, kind, friendly, and a good soldier willing to put herself in harm's way to save others... but when it comes to Cortana or other AI, she's not afraid to be the first one to point out that AI could turn on them, or that the Geth are responsible for her current situation. | |

GoodCounterpart | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_7b80226d | comment |
Good Counterpart: "Slip to the Future" is this for the Terra Firma party. It's an inclusive party comprised of many non-humans that nonetheless advocates Slipspace technology, an FTL technology (and humanity's primary method of FTL travel pre-Citadel) that the Council has banned. Mostly the same agenda, but none of the Fantastic Racism. They even advocate that humans should get a council seat, although this is merely a means to an end- if humanity gains a seat on the Council, it'll mean that the vote in favor of slipspace on the council will be tied, rather than 2-1 against as it was previously. It's why they're also campaigning for Kig-Yar and Sangheli council seats, since if those races get a seat, they'd have enough votes to get overturned. This shows a far more long-sighted attitude than Terra Firma, who care about little other than humanity. | |

But in the Last of an Ancient Breed spinoff, she orders Lieutenant Nolan to summarily execute a pair of captured criminals and makes Helena Blake give her a reason not to kill her too. | |

Broken Pedestal: Khalisah al-Jilani tries to paint the Chief as this after he blows off her interview. Hackett is displeased with both of them and warns Chief that the fight for Feros is going to have to be a vital PR boon for the Spartan. Minor example, but the Terra Firma party view the Master Chief as the paragon of humanity. When they hear how he's been accepting non-humans onto the Normandy, they aren't to pleased. Not that Master Chief cares what they think. Another minor example for Kaidan, where he views how the Chief is going to coldly execute biotic terrorists by pumping all the air out of their ship, where he's reminded that while the SPARTAN-II program did save the human race from the Covenant, at the same time they were originally for suppressing human rebellions against the UNSC. | |

The Reapers and The Flood. Both are galaxy-killing races of Eldritch Abominations whom the Benevolent-but-not-really Precursors tried and failed to stop before being driven extinct. However, The Flood were distinctly organic (albeit capable of interfacing with synthetic beings and systems) while The Reapers are synthetic beings with organic foundations. Furthermore, The Gravemind is a poetic, emotional and bombastic being while Sovereign is cold, emotionless, and plain-spoken. | |

The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_8941750b | comment |
Willfully Weak: Essentially humanity's strategy when it comes to the Council. While giving up a large portion of its fleet, Slipspace, and AI would seem to be massive disadvantages- and they are- the humans are playing the long game. By joining the Council, they avoid another massive war like the Human-Covenant War, and gain access to a large number of new technologies. It might take a while, but eventually humanity is going to gain a Council Seat- they are exponentially more aggressive in this goal than in canon. This will allow them to triple the size of their fleets and put them in a position to start negotiating AI and Slipspace technology back, as well as give them a say in galactic politics to possibly prevent future wars. | |

Deconstruction | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: While the Master Chief is a good soldier, he's not Shepard. He's not Paragon, he's not Renegade. He doesn't know how to deal with people. In chapter 37, he openly admits that he feels that the Council made a massive mistake choosing him as a Spectre. In short, while he's completely awesome in many ways, the ability to rip out a charging Jirlhanae's spine doesn't necessarily translate well to being able to deal with politicians, or former enemies. Shepard (in the games) was able to walk that line- he knew the galaxy well. For Chief, it was just last week that the same unggoy that sells him his grenades with a half-off discount for saving the galaxy... was charging at him insanely, screaming oaths to his god with two plasma grenades primed, ready to sell his life to stop "the Demon." It's like watching a gamer who's played FPS games all his life try to play an RPG for the first time. The "Proud Warrior Race Guy" attitude is deconstructed as well. At least one member of the political party "Slip To The Future," says that they believe that the Kig-Yar (Jackals) will likely have the next council seat after the humans get a seat, instead of the Sangheli. While the Sangheli are prominent leaders and proud warriors (especially in the Halo Games proper), they focus a lot of their energy on their military... and don't place nearly enough on other pursuits. On the other hand, the Jackals, while weaker than the Sangheli, still have a military that is strong for its size, and a booming economy, which would be far more advantageous to the Council. Further deconstructed when N'Tho mentions that part of what the Sangheili had to re-learn after breaking from the Covenant was agriculture, plumbing and building and maintaining infrastructure and how they were so focused on being the Proud Warrior Race that their society was essentially non-functional without the Unggoy and other species supporting their society. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: The Chief takes several in chapters 26 through 29, then realizes (somewhat) what a jerk he's being in chapter 32 when talking with Liara. Miranda compared to her mainstream counterpart, though also likely due to being her pre Character Development and because of the author's admitted dislike of the character. | |

Wham Episode | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Chapter 18. Chief has been kidnapped on what he now learns are orders of Saren. The Arbiter is launching a rescue mission with Garrus. Cortana is missing. And to top it all off, Saleon is working on the Flood. Chapter 48. Chief goes through the wringer over whether or not to kill the Rachni Queen, while the ONI brass is having a good, hard conversation on exactly what a Spartan-II is - a Shell Shocked Child Soldier. "And you can't trust a broken man to make the right choice." Cue the chief "typing in a command and hitting execute." | |

The Voiceless | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_8ec0abf | comment |
The Voiceless: Averted unlike the Halo series. Since Master Chief is filling in for Commander Shepard, he's spoken more in his first two chapters than he has in the Halo Trilogy. Played for Laughs as he still uses short, blunt sentences where Shepard used charismatic lines, and complains silently about how sore and raspy his throat is becoming. Although technically this was subverted in the series itself- Chief actually did speak in the series... it's just that he didn't do it all that often, and was usually in short, to-the-point sentences. | |

Arc Number | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_9203bf6 | comment |
Arc Number: True to form, variants of the number seven appear throughout the story. For example, some of the "named" Geth troopers have serial numbers divisible by seven, and not counting the Chief himself, there are seven members of the Normandy ground team. And when the author read this page and noticed the above entry, expressed glee when someone noticed, saying: "Yes! Finally! Someone picked up on that!" Count how many words are in that phrase. Funnily enough, Liara mentions that seven is bad luck in Asari cultures. | |

The Needs of the Many | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_9a3b7208 | comment |
The Needs of the Many: The reason that the Assembly gives for encouraging mankind to join the Citadel, giving up some fleet power, slipspace, and AI. While a war between Turians and the UNSC would ultimately lead to a human victory, it would also pull in the former Covenant allies and the other Citadel races. This would lead to decades or centuries of border wars against polities who have turned guerrilla warfare into an artform, costing countless lives. | |

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_a3515d6 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: A twofer. Saren to The Prophet of Truth. Both villains lead armies of religious fanatics whilst nursing a hatred of humanity and a penchant for lying. However, Truth was a Non-Action Big Bad and a Dirty Coward who simply threw waves of Covenant at The Chief and fled him. Saren on the other hand, is more than capable of throwing down with The Chief in a one-on-one fight. Also, despite his campaign of genocide, Truth was a rather distant figure as far as The Chief is concerned, while Saren does everything he can to get under John's skin. The Reapers and The Flood. Both are galaxy-killing races of Eldritch Abominations whom the Benevolent-but-not-really Precursors tried and failed to stop before being driven extinct. However, The Flood were distinctly organic (albeit capable of interfacing with synthetic beings and systems) while The Reapers are synthetic beings with organic foundations. Furthermore, The Gravemind is a poetic, emotional and bombastic being while Sovereign is cold, emotionless, and plain-spoken. | |

Retcon: There was a period of time when the author couldn't decide how to mingle the two timelines together. At first, the Halo verse was bumped up a few centuries, with the story taking place in ME time. Then the story was in 2683, for no reason. Then bumped to earlier, with the author justifying it by pointing out how the technology present in Halo would be more along the 2100's. Then finally, it seemed to settle on 2683, because it would be impossible to colonize 800 planets in 70 years, and instead moved the Mass Effect universe up 500 years. | |

Sabotage to Discredit: Chok and his mercenaries did this to the Turian slipspace ship to render slipspace technology illegal in Citadel Space, primarily for financial reasons. Specifically, if Slipspace Tech was banned in Council Space, then Noveria, which sets itself up as a world where Council Laws don't exist and all varieties of scientific research are welcome, then the only place that further Slipspace research could take place was on Noveria, lining his pockets. | |

Terms of Endangerment: Of a sort. It's worth noting that, thus far, Saren is the only character in the fanfic to consistently refer to the Master Chief as simply "John." Partially because Saren refuses to give a heroic honorific like "Master Chief" to a Human, partially because Saren knows that it gets under the Chief's skin. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Miranda mocks the Arbiter of this when they fight in chapter 33, how despite him having guns he still relies on his sword. Averted the very next instant, as the Arbiter then opens fire on her with said guns, forcing her to take cover. He then reveals that he was deliberately not using it until she suggested it or pulled out her own gun, as that wouldn't be honorable. It's at this point that Miranda plays this trope straight and pulls out her own gun. | |

Show Within a Show: Apparently there is a licensed Master Chief children's cartoon, which Ashley watched as a kid. It only lasted one season, which Ashley attributes to toon Chief's annoying Unggoy sidekick. There's a sitcom called "My Life With Bipbap," about an Asari and her bondmate, an Unggoy named Bipbap. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: The Chief gets one in chapter 41. Just before the narrative cuts over to his crew, he's being tossed around like a ragdoll by a biotic Jiralhanae Chieftain (naturally). When his crew later reaches his location, they simply find him standing over the chieftain's corpse cleaning blood off his knife. | |

Shout-Out | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When a Brute is discovered among the pirate crew at Sharjila, the narrator muses on some of their more savage actions during The Battle of Crassus. Ashley calls Tali her "Dark Apprentice." Tali has no idea what she's talking about, claiming that they (the Migrant Fleet) didn't get many videos. On the trip to Feros, Liara is skeptical of becoming The Medic given how little time she has to learn. Ashley reassures her that she doesn't have to learn enough to save lives but that her job is to make people feel more comfortable...while they die. The next chapter has Cortana alter her appearance so anyone else who sees her won't think she's the Cortana. Among other changes, her avatar color is now pink. When a dumbstruck Chief points this out, Cortana replies that she thought it was "lightish red." Furthermore, in the next chapter, Wrex calls Shotgun on the Warthog, and N'tho says "Shotgun! Wort!" The premise itself: A badass One-Man Army Super Soldier who got turned into a Human Popsicle immediately after a pivotal war in human history wakes up to kick more ass in a world decades removed from his. Where have they done that before? On a similar note, there is the fact that the story starts out with him being found by an unrelated party aboard a derelict ship, with his next adventure being a Genre Shift from from the previous one. During a firefight on Feros, Wrex shouts "Get over here!" when using a Biotic Pull on an enemy. During the battle against the Thresher Maw, N'Tho yells a line "From Hells Heart I stab at thee, bitch!" This could either be a reference to Star Trek II or to Moby-Dick, which the line is originally from. Chapter 33 is titled And Now For Something Completely Different. According to Ashley, Wrex enjoys going on enthusiastic walks through the woods. In chapter 25, when Garrus accidentally calls Ashley fat, he imitates Freeza unknowingly. Chapter 36 has Tali visit a nightclub... which is a massive shout-out to the "Seige of Madrigal" Easter Egg from "Halo: Reach," including dancing unggoy and a jirlhanae DJ. Chapter 37 is a massive shout-out to the Halo multiplayer community, and more importantly, to Rooster Teeth. Geoff and Jack are the commentators, and the "Achievement Hunter Rodeo Clowns," segment is another large shout-out to Rooster Teeth's infamous Lets Plays of Minecraft. It even includes the trophy for that game as one of the objectives (known in this story as "Pillar of Vitality," because "there are kids in the audience." (The real name for it is "The Tower of Pimps.")) Chapter 38 has an ONI operative, "Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart," clearly based on the character from Doctor Who. When Chief is on his way back from visiting the SPARTAN memorial, he walks past a street musician who sings a song. The musician is based on Malukah, who has done music based on Halo and Mass Effect. The song in question is "Reignite," which is based on the third Mass Effect game. Chok likes to channel Andrew Ryan a lot, particularly when he gets arrested. Mention is repeatedly made of the famous Sangheili flip music artist Frankenstein Joe. One of his hits is A Pile Of Dead Everything. Ashley mentions that there are biotball teams called the Gray Wardens and the Blood Mages. | |

My Species Doth Protest Too Much | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_c8bea4ec | comment |
My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Chief meets an entire political movement of these, the "Slip to the Future" party. They're a salarian-founded group with many non-human members advocating lifting bans on Slipspace technology, which is a solely human invention. For the Salarians, it's less of this, since their government voted against the Slipspace ban, but were outvoted by the Asari and Turians. Any Asari or Turian members are a straighter examples of this. | |

In Chapter 30, Saren gives a caustic review of Master Chief's leadership skills, pointing out how many Marines died at his side despite seeing him as a Messianic Archetype and especially how a sizable number of Spartans died under his command. You'd think this would be suicide when it does work. Instead, Saren nearly Curb Stomps the Chief when he chooses blind rage over his normally clinical tactics. | |

Won the War, Lost the Peace | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_cb2d889 | comment |
Won the War, Lost the Peace: The Human/Former Covenant Alliance defeated the Turians at Shanxi and eventually joined The Citadel as in one half of the source material, but were eventually forced to reduce the size of their fleets and give up Artificial Intelligence and Slipspace technology in the process, as their new peers thought them too dangerous. In practice however, they're still fighting "the peace." They're exponentially more aggressive in their efforts to become a Council race in TLS, with the stated goal of re-introducing AI and Slipspace once they gain the Council seat(which coincidentally would permit them to triple their fleet size.). It's also noted that human colonies outside of Citadel Space do use AI's and slipspace drives, because they are not ruled over by the Citadel Council. | |

Chief is confused, since no one has actually done that before. A few of Doctor Saelon's mercenaries get the hell out of dodge when the Arbiter shows up to rescue Chief, citing that the doctor doesn't pay them enough for that kind of risk. Ustrina bails out after Horridus is killed, but not without rigging the ship to explode on her way out. Chief does this in the next chapter when Vanderloo suggests that Chief is trying to find and sleep with the Angel of Akuze. | |

Hannibal Lecture: Though just as emotionless as ever, the geth runtimes Cortana holds hostage and tries to interrogate remind her of her mortality as a smart AI made from flash-cloned brain tissue and her organic shortcomings. She's able to maintain her composure before destroying them, but it leaves her quite rattled. In Chapter 30, Saren gives a caustic review of Master Chief's leadership skills, pointing out how many Marines died at his side despite seeing him as a Messianic Archetype and especially how a sizable number of Spartans died under his command. You'd think this would be suicide when it does work. Instead, Saren nearly Curb Stomps the Chief when he chooses blind rage over his normally clinical tactics. The effect of the Hannibal Lecture is somewhat lessened when you've read enough of the EU to know that very few Spartans have died under the Chief's command. Most of them died under Fred's command. | |

As such, when Ashley treats him to lunch his first suggestion is seafood, and he immediately goes for the clams when he finds them, basking in the nostalgia in wake of all his recent stress and uncertainty. After the revelations and stress and broken pedistals of Eletania, N'tho is found with a pile of burritos. Apparently, Sangheli love burritos- their tube shape and their mouths work well together. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Used in an interesting way. The Arbiter, while on route to a mission, notes how strange the Sangheli are behaving with their squads of Unggoy compared to how they would act in the original trilogy (where the Unggoy were little more than slaves). He specifically spots one Sangheli acting as a Drill Sergeant Nasty to his Unggoy, but doing it in a humorous way (rather than just beating them or demanding that they do something), and another playing poker with his squad (and actually losing to one of his underlings). | |

N'tho explains that the stranger was a swordsman, and that while they aren't allowed to be married, they are allowed to bed many females in order to pass on their swordsman genes.

Exact Words | |
The Last Spartan / Fan Fic / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: "I can categorically say no, the place did not explode." Chief, in chapter 31. the Forerunner facility self-destructs by sucking everything into slipspace, similar to the method used to destroy the Long Night of Solace supercarrier in Halo Reach. That, if anything, was an implosion, where it collapses in on itself. And again when N'tho, Kaiden, and Chief are discussing Chief's love life (or lack thereof): When Jondam Bau requests the aid of the Arbiter, he specifies that they should only take one ship to search for Halo. The Arbiter responds by indeed only taking one ship. The type of ship, however, is the same class of supercarrier that was used in Halo: Reach, namely, a twenty-seven kilometer long supercarrier which has enough soldiers and firepower to subjugate an entire planet, and is roughly three-quarters the size of the Citadel. | |

Jerkass: Chief is starting to show a very socially-aggressive side. His treatment of the Normandy crew is becoming increasingly cruel, even by his standards. See Kick the Dog entry below. He seems to be realizing this as of Chapter 32. Ethan Jeong is still one. As is Saren Miranda and Kai Leng | |

The Illuminati: Subverted. As per Halo canon, The Assembly helps guide humanity, but doesn't seek to rule them. | |

Covert Pervert: Cortana spoiler: when she watches an Old Spice commercial with a shirtless Sangheili in it. In chapter 35, she compliments Garrus on his "magnificent ass." Kaidan does some "art appreciation" from time to time. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: At one point, the Master Chief is riding an aircar whose screen is playing an ad starring an Elite as The Man Your Man Could Smell Like. He tells Cortana to shut it off, but she's not listening to him. | |

Ain't No Rule: While Hackett admits the idea of putting a revived Master Chief forward as a Spectre candidate is ridiculous on paper (in a manner of speaking), he immediately and eagerly Hand Waves the issue by citing this trope. The Chief hasn't even been thawed by the time he gets behind the idea. | |

Never Found the Body: N'tho mentions the Sangheili insurrection against the Arbiter in Chapter 39, and how it ended with an orbital bombardment of Jul 'Mdama's last known location. 'Mdama was never found and presumed dead, but prolonged discussion about rumors of his survival all but hit you over the head with the probability that he will show up somewhere down the road. | |

Running Gag: The Chief mentioning not knowing about something, and people asking where he's been in the last few years. Given that he was literally taken out of a freezer less than a year ago... | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Assembly has shades of this, preferring to set off the incident that banned AIs rather than risk a major war with the Citadel Races against the Systems Alliance. | |
