This topic is basically as how Gold is selected as Spartan-II Class II (Halo lore canon, it was planned project never happened) and Crystal as UNSC Smart AI.

If you didn’t read the story, I recommend reading it. If you read it, then this is more behind the scenes. If you wish to know without reading as it’s spoilers ahead. The decision to have Gold as Spartan-II Class II was basically not just favoritism. It started as a question: What if you placed Gold into Halo universe as ONI (Office of naval intelligence) selected him to be sole candidate of Spartan-II Class II program?

The answer is basically Gold is not going have a fun time especially he is not your typical Spartan. He’s rebellious, prone to violent outbursts, loner personality, and unable to master despite learning skills. He served as emotional expy of John-117 aka Master Chief. To be honest, Gold and John-117 share defining traits: Luck, unwavering determination, and ability to beat all odds when they cannot win outright. Only difference is how they were bought up in Spartan-II programs. Gold was only one of class II compared to John-117’s fellow Class I members. Gold is considered as little brother of Spartan-II class II as he’s 19 years old in 2552.

Crystal on other hand, she was in fact born out of mapping brain of her donor, Mirei. Whom Mirei is Crystal’s mother in the Pokemon special manga, in this story she is late wife of Professor Oak whom considers as unorthodox ONI researcher as one of the greatest Data Collector. Mirei, served as surrogate grandmother to Gold when he was inducted to Spartan-II Class II Program. She was present in his early days of training until she suffered a terminal illness at a request to have her mind mapped to create a “daughter”. That daughter is no other than Crystal. Crystal is expy of Cortana but retains her Pokemon special appearance and her personality is more serious than Mirei was. In the story, Crystal is three years older than Cortana as she was at six year out of seven year span. Originally, she was planned to be Gold’s AI upon deployment except that didn’t happen due to Gold’s interactions with girl named Kotone Cimbalom due to Crystal orchestrated Special assignment for Gold to earn his R&R to spend time with Kotone Cimbalom, daughter of Colonel Cimbalom, ODST officer who sees Gold’s training.

They did not met until pillar of autumn in 2552 in events of halo: combat evolved arc. It wasn’t first impression since Gold was still grieving Kotone Cimbalom since she died during Fall of Reach. Crystal knew Gold since he was 12 years old but never met him in person. Crystal was on verge of rampancy especially getting close to her creation date in 04/30 2553 but she proven vital member even assisted Cortana when she volunteered to stay behind. This decision of hers did not go well with Gold’s emotional breakdown.

They did not reunite until Halo 3 arc where Gold was hellbent to save Crystal from the Flood. It was also the replacement Halo saw Gold did no other has done. Using similar method to create Arceus by AZ, Gold transferred Crystal from AI to organic body. It did work despite the risks. By the end of the story, they got married and having four children in Pokemon shield world.

I like to hear your thoughts of Gold and Crystal as a couple in the story?
