Escape from Shirakawa
Keiichi Ryukishi was thrust into the Human-Covenant War on October 23rd 2552, when Covenant forces overrun Keiichi's hometown of Shirakawa. Keiichi escaped the destruction along with Rena Sonozaki, hiding out in the mountains for three days, observing the behavior of the Covenant forces.

On the night of October 26th, Keiichi and Rena ambushed two Kig-Yar, killing them with improvised melee weapons and taking their weapons, before destroying an Unggoy Methane Dome with molotov cocktails. Keiichi and Rena then escaped into the mountains, climbing up a mountain pass and ambushing a small group of Covenant forces and capturing a Revenant. The two survivors figured out how to operate the vehicle and forced their way through a Covenant blockade, making it to the outskirts of the town of Kamioka before they were forced to return to the mountains. In the mountains, the two survivors got a hold of an M389 DMR with an attached M456 Smart Grenade Launcher and an M6C SOCOM pistol from a dead UNSC soldier they found in the woods.

One the night of October 27th, Keiichi and Rena made their way through the town of Kamioka, Keiichi destroying a Covenant plasma recharging station with his DMR's grenade launcher, destroying, among other vehicles, a Scarab that was recharging its plasma stores. Keiichi and Rena then entered the storm sewers in the city, sneaking under the Covenant forces, before crossing the Jintsugawa River and re-entering the storm drains and taking them as high as they could. After leaving the storm drains, Keiichi and Rena fled the town of Kamioka and made their way up to into the foothills of the Japanese Alps.

On October 28th, Keiichi and Rena followed a trail up to a mountain lodge high in the Japanese Alps, the crest of which marked the extent of Covenant advance in Northern Japan. Keiichi and Rena spotted a Falcon Transport dropping off troops a UNSC observation point in at a second mountain lodge at Yarigatake, a high peak in the Japanese Alps. Keiichi and Rena made their way to the UNSC OP and helped fight off a Covenant attack on the position until they were rescued by a Hornet VTOL and taken to the UNSC-controlled city of Matsumoto. Shortly afterwards, Keiichi and Rena joined the UNSC militia, where they would take part in a counterattack against the Covenant in Japan and fight for the rest of the Battle of Japan.
