Odd One Out

Odd One Out is one of the seven short films comprising the anime adaptation of the Halo universe, Halo Legends. Odd One Out is a non-canon and satirical interpretation of the franchise, featuring SPARTAN-1337.

Summary
1337 falls off a Pelican onto the surface of the planet below. While still in orbit, the ship's Captain/CO is informed of this. Master Chief assures him that "this sort of thing" happens to 1337 all the time. But that he was trained with the best, and there is no need for worry. Yet, Cortana expresses a concern.

Back on the surface, 1337, alarmed, sees he's been left behind, when he discovers three children standing behind him. They think he is a robot. 1337 makes an attempt to explain he is a SPARTAN, and not a robot. Sap tries to tell 1337, that he shouldn't stand there. Pom says its not safe. 1337 is agitated at them ignoring him, when he turns, he is half swallowed by the kid's T-Rex. Sap throws a stick, so the T-Rex spits 1337 back out, and fetches the stick. Just as 1337 is getting up, the T-Rex crushes him.

While on High Charity, Truth sends Pluton, genetically modified Jiralhanae, to kill the SPARTAN, which he thinks is the Master Chief. The planet is revealed to be Cronky, fourth planet in the Unicorn system. After some confusion, Pluton finally leaves.

Back on the planet, 1337 is attempting to make contact with Master Chief, and is annoyed at the children still following him. When Pluton lands, he tells the kids to escape, and engages. He is knocked out after Pluton uses his weapon. It then starts to rain. May and Guy look at the wreckage as Pluton runs off. The two meet with the children, and ask them what happened. Pom explains their encounter with the SPARTAN and the Jiralhanae. Guy tells them that they'll take care of it, but May thinks otherwise. After more debate 1337 appears, and is ready to fight again.

May and Guy tell 1337 about 'Momma' and how she fought off bird headed pirates once, and that they could help. 1337 hesitates, then agrees, they engage Pluton in a hard battle. When Pluton starts to charge up again, SPARTAN-1337 distracted the Jiralhanae by shouting, "Hey, what the heck is that?!" to make their escape.

Suddenly, the crashed ship that SPARTAN-1337 found earlier creates a Slipspace rupture. The ship fires a life boat at Pluton, causing him to be thrown into the rupture. Soon after, the ship re-establishes radio communication. Master Chief says he'll try to contact 1337, when Cortana says that there's another AI living on the planet. Master Chief stops, Cortana explains that she was just tinkering with the slipspace drive. When asked by Master Chief if he should collect the AI, Cortana then tells him not to.

May, Guy, Loo, Sap, and Pom return home, and tell Momma about there adventure. 1337 looks back at the ship one last time before starting to walk, as he starts, Master Chief contacts him. Master Chief tells him to head to the rendezvous point asap. Just as a shadow consumes 1337. 1337 confirms, and tells Master Chief he might be a little late as a pterodactyl carries him off. Pluton is found to be embedded in Delta Halo.

Trivia

 * Odd One Out made many references to Toei's popular Dragon Ball anime series, such as the Pluton muttering "Kamehameha" when he grabbed SPARTAN-1337 and SPARTAN-1337 being grabbed by a Pterosaur at the end of the episode.
 * The Bubble Shield used by SPARTAN-1337 looks very similar to the one seen in the Halo 3 Starry Night trailer.
 * A rainbow colored energy beam used by "Momma" may reference both the "Wave Cannon" used by such ships as Space Battleship Yamato & Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, as well as the "Wuv Woo" skull from Halo Wars.
 * Pointing behind an opponents soldier and saying "Hey what's that?!" is the oldest trick in the book.
