Axel: Alright, the combatants are set. It's time to end this debate once and for all.
Felix: It's time, for a DEATH BATTLE!!!
"Alright, Chief." Cortana spoke. Master Chief was piloting a D77H-TCI Pelican Dropship, heading towards a rather larger ship. However, the ship wasn't moving normally, and noticeable damage was done to the outside of it. Master Chief boosted the speed of the Pelican, making his way towards the assumingely abandoned craft.
"According to the data we received from Captain Lasky, this ship has been abandoned for quite some time now. The captain's log states that they were currently under attack by aliens." Cortana said. "The Convent?" Chief asked. "Couldn't be. We've cleared any remaining covenant in this sector. Unfortunately, the log says that the captain good only catch a glimpse of them. They were moving too fast." Chief noted the information and cautiously approached the ship, landing the Pelican in the docking bay.
Master Chief landed the ship and soon after got out, Assault Rifle in hand. He looked around himself, not seeing anything too strange. A couple of other Pelicans crashed, some probably made it out from the looks of it. Only two or three had been untouched. John 117 walked over to the nearest door and found a soldier slumped down. Parts of his body was covered in some sort of slime while, from the looks of it, he had a rather large hole in his head. Master Chief knelt down and took the soldier's dog tag, reading the name that was covered in dry blood.
The spartan stood up and continued to the other room. Four bodies laid down on the ground, however, unlike the previous soldier's death, they had seemed to suffer something far worse. Their chest had been ripped open. "Oh my god....." Cortana said in shock. "From the looks of it, they've been ripped open from the inside. Wait, hold on. The motion sensor's picking something up." Master Chief looked at the bottom left of his helmet. Cortana was right. Something was there. Chief turned around, aiming his gun. However, he couldn't see a single thing. Nothing around, below, or above.
Unknown to Chief, something did lurk in the dark above. Clinging onto the wires, its skin helping it hide from the spartan. It waited for an opening, to kill its prey. Master Chief turned around and looked up, spotting the creature. It hissed before lunging at the Chief.
Master Chief punched the Xenomorph in the face, or what Chief assumed was its face anyway. The alien hit the ground, but soon stood up. Master Chief aimed his Assault Rifle and fired it at the Xenomorph. The bullets pierced through its skin, making acid blood burst out. The Xenomorph fell to the floor dead, but its blood was melting through the steel floor slowly. "Cortana?" Chief said, waiting for Cortana to give some logical explanation. "I've never seen anything like that before. It's blood is melting through the floor." Cortana said. "There may be more of them. If there are, I'm going to have to kill them." Master Chief walked out of the room into the next one.
*stop music*
The room was pitch black, so Master Chief turned on his helmet and his gun's light. More soldiers were on the ground with more of those spider looking aliens. Master Chief looked around more, spotting what looked like an egg, multiple actually. "These must've been where those aliens hatched." Said Cortana. Master Chief examined the eggs closely. They had been open...except for one. One behind him started opening up and a facehugger started crawling out.
Master Chief finished examining the eggs and turned, just when the hacehugger linger at him. Chief quickly caught the alien, and it started to squirm around. Master Chief switched out to the Magnum, shooting the facehugger once before letting it drop to the floor. John 117 turned around and started to leave, but his radar picked something up. The Spartan turned around. Two signatures were detected. Master Chief pulled out his Assault Rifle and aimed around, trying to find where these two things were.
The room remained quite, begging Master Chief to let his guard down for a second. However, Chief knew doing so was a bad idea. It stopped waiting and bursted out of a vent from above, lunging towards Chief. Another Xenomorph that Chief had to deal with. Easily, the Spartan took out the alien by filling it with nothing but bullets. Blood spattered again, and some of it got on his gun. Master Chief threw the dead Xenomorph off of him, wiping off the acid blood. "Good thing the shield is holding out." Cortana said. Master Chief silently agreed and started wiping off some of the blood off his armor, but her was clearly going to have to discard his weapon. The Assault Rifle was now being eaten by the acid blood. Chief dropped the weapon, taking out his Magnum again, holding the pistol with both hands. Chief knew that his most important objective for survival right now was finding a better gun.
Chief entered the next room, the cafeteria, or what was left of it. Chief scanned the room, noticing more eggs around in the area, all of which had been hatched already. More soldiers laid on the ground there were even.....Covenant. Some laid dead already, likely due to the soldiers or the Xenomorphs. However, one Elite in particular caught Chief's attention. Like the soldiers, the Elite had its chest ripped open, seemingly from the inside. Chief started to piece together how these creatures worked. Eggs, a hatchling, dead bodies with chests ripped open, and strange aliens attacking? "Cortana. We're dealing with a parasitic alien species." Chief said. "Yeah, I just figured that out myself. But, they're not like the Flood." She responded. "Of these aliens are coming from humans, then I don't want to see what happens when it happens to an Elite. Unfortunately for Cortana, they were about to.
A Xenomorph crawled on the celling, but it did nothing to make self hidden from Chief's radar. Master Chief turned around and aimed up by instinct. Before he could even fire the Magnum, the Xenomorph lunged at the Chief, knocking him down to the ground. The alien started slashing at Chief with its claws, scratching the armor and lowering the Chief's shields a bit. It then began to strike at Chief with its tail, aiming for the Chief's head. John tilted his head, letting the Xenomorph's tail strike the ground and getting it stuck there.
For a moment, Chief got to see what this creature looked like. It was definitely a Xenomorph, but it looked more like an Elite than it has before. The alien pulled its tail out with enough force, and it was now ready to kill its prey. However, unknown to the Xenomorph, Chief grabbed a Plasma Grenade from the dead Elite's body. The Xenomorph lowered in to Chief's face just as he had hid the grenades. It opened its mouth, revealing a tinier one inside of it, its jaw, assuming it had one, was wide open.
Master Chief waited for the right time for his plan. The Xenomorph's inner mouth sprang forward, but John grabbed the inner mouth before it could reach his face. He placed the Plasma Grenade onto the inner mouth and activated it. The Xenomorph hadn't expected this and drastically tried to remove the grenade, unfortunately unsuccessful. Master Chief pushed the alien off him while he had the chance, and the grenade soon exploded.
Master Chief stood up, his shields recharged, and he got a good look at the mess he made. Not much remained of the Xenomorph Elite, but what parts did remain had more acid blood seeping out. Master Chief grabbed his Magnum and took a look at it, making sure no acid had landed on it. The Magnum was fine, giving Chief little relief that he still had a fire arm on him, but it would mean little if he couldn't find something bigger and better.
*stop music*
John 117 walked into the kitchen of the cafeteria. Odd place to look for weaponry, but it was something. Chief looked around, eventually spotting a Battle Rifle on the ground. He walked over to the weapon and inspected it, making sure it was in good condition. It seemed completely fine, so the Spartan picked it up. What confused him was that the weapon was covered in a slime-like substance. He checked it to see weather it had ammo, and it fortunately did. Master Chief stood up and turned, only for the floor he was standing on to collapse.
The event took Master a Chief by surprise, and he fell down to the next floor. Chief hit the ground, hard, damaging his shields for a bit, but it wasn't anything too severe. John 117 looked around, turned on the flashlight of his rifle. Surprisingly it still worked, but it was dim compared to the lights on his helmet. Chief took a quick look at his radar, and nothing seemed present. Knowing how the Xenomorphs kinda work now, Master Chief cautiously looked around, above, standing completely still in case they were sneaking around. No signs of any treat were present, so Chief walked forward cautiously, knowing he can't risk letting his guard down.
The walk around seemed like it took forever for Chief, but it was only 14 minutes before he reached something...unexpected. The room bellow him seemed to have been used as a prison of some kind. Humans and some of the Covenant were stuck against walls by a strong substance, one in which Chief had never seen. Chief jumped down, inspecting the room quietly. Like the cafeteria, the crewmen and soldiers, along with the Elites, Grunts, and other unfortunate Covenant, had their chests torn open with Facehuggers lying dead in front of them.
Master Chief continued walking, still not getting anything on his radar. That was until he reached a room. The whole room looked more organic, making Chief actually feeling glad he left his helmet on as it probably smelled really terrible. The possible smell of the room was the least of Chief's worries as in the center, more Xenomorphs had gathered around an even bigger Xenomorph. The size of it made Chief feel like it could crush a normal sized Xenomorph with one hand. Hell, it probably could.
Chief knew an alien race this dangerous could no longer thrive. He took out a frag grenade and threw it at one of the Xenomorphs before pulling out his Magnum. The grenade hit the Xenomorph in the head before Chief shot it, making it explode, harming other Xenomorphs in the process. He took out another one and aimed to throw it at the Xenomorph Queen. However, before he could, a Xenomorph Grunt hybrid pounced on him. Making him drop it.
John 117 easily overpowered the Xenomorph, knocking onto the grenade, which was already about to explode. Chief got up and jumped as the grenade exploded, pushing the Spartans back into the 'prison'. More Xenomorphs pressed the Chief, followed by the Queen. Chief stood up, his shields recharging, and he looked around for a weapon, realizing he had dropped the Magnum when the Xenomorph Grunt had tackled him. He found a good weapon, a shotgun. He picked it up, and it had the same slime-like substance as before, but it didn't worry Chief a single bit.
Chief quickly checked the ammo, and it was locked and loaded. John 117 turned around and took out the Battle Rifle, aiming it where the Xenomorphs would be headed towards. One came, and Chief fired the weapon. The bullets pierced through the Xenomorph, and it fell over dead immediately afterwards. More came for him, three to be exact, but Chief only shot them, too. It took a few more to kill the last too before the fell forward, the first one even tripping over another Xenomorph body.
Another alien came, but it was on all fours and crawling on the celling. Chief fired the Battle Rifle, but the Xenomorph's reflexes were fast, dodging the bullets entirely before jumping over onto the Spartan. It used its tail to attack the Chief, only for him to hold up the Battle Rifle in defense. Despite this, the tail pierced through the weapon, and the Xenomorph stretched the tail back for another strike. Master Chief took the small opportunity he had and punched the alien across the face, making it stagger back.
The Spartan stood up and took out the shotgun and fired it at the Xenomorph. The bullets hit in multiple places at once, but the alien didn't die right away. Chief fired again, filling the alien with lead even more, and then he fired again, this time killing the damn thing. The Xenomorph fell over, but Chief spotted four more headed his way, all of which had Covenant-like appearances. Chief pulled the trigger of his weapon, but nothing happened as it needed to be reloaded. Chief knew that he wouldn't have time to do so and threw it aside. He spotted a Sniper Rifle poking out of the smile filled wall and he yanked it out and aimed it. Unfortunately, it only had one bullet left. But one bullet was all Chief needed.
He aimed the weapon at the aliens and fired. A loud bang rang out in the room as he fired the gun, and the bullet flew towards the Xenomorphs. Unfortunately for them, the bullet pierced through the head of the first one, continued onto the next one, piercing that one's head too before piercing through the last two alien's heads. The bullet eventually melted as it continued on, the acid eating away at it quickly before it reached the Queen and bounced off harmlessly.
*stop music*
The four Xenomorphs fell to the ground after the sniper bullet made holes in their heads. It was almost like dominos, too. Chief stood there, kind of triumphantly, before the ship started shaking. "Cortana, what's going on?" Chief asked. "The Avalon is starting to enter the Halo's atmosphere. Impact is imminent! We have to get back to the Pelican now!" Cortana responded. Chief nodded before looking up at the way he came down, jumping up. He almost barely grabbed onto the ledge and started climbing. He was almost at the top, but the Xenomorph Queen finally got to him. It grabbed Chief with its humongous hands and threw him off the ledge, making him hit the ground near an Elite hanging against the wall.
Master Chief let his hand run through the wall by instinct to grab something to support him up. His hand touched something odd. Chief looked at what it was, and it was a handle for an Energy Sword. Chief took hold of the handle and started pulling on it. However, unlike the Sniper Rifle, the handle wasn't budging. It was stuck in there good. Chief stood up and started pulling even more, managing to make it move an inch. The Xenomorph Queen walked over to Chief slowly, making Chief pull even harder, but it was no use.
Master Chief had enough and wasn't about to be this thing's meal. He activated the blade, its plasma energy burned through the slime wall effortlessly, and Master Chief plucked it out of the wall, slashing at the Xenomorph Queen's chest as he did. Acid blood spilled on the ground, melting through it quickly. The queen attacked Chief with its tail, but it only resulted in the queen getting its tail sliced off. The Xenomorph Queen screamed in agony, giving Chief the opportunity to escape. Chief jumped onto the back of the creature and off onto the ledge. Master Chief rolled as he landed and started running, knowing the the queen would be in pursuit.
John 117 made it to the hole he had fallen in earlier. He knew he couldn't simply jump out of it, so he instead jumped onto the wall and then out of the hole. Chief continued past the previous rooms he had entered, running like there was no tomorrow. The ship started rumbling more, not just because it was entering the atmosphere of the Halo, but because the Xenomorph Queen was pursing the Chief.
Master Chief made it to the docking bay, and now the Xenomorph Queen was behind him, crashing through the door to the previous room. Gravity had started to affect the ship as both Chief and the Xenomorph Queen started floating off their feet. So did the Pelican, with some of its cargo floating out of it. "At this rate, we'll never get there!" Cortana said. Chief looked around for any options, and in front of him was a Jet Pack. Chief reached for it and grabbed it, putting it on. He turned his attention to the ship, about to activate the Jet Pack. However, the Xenomorph Queen grabbed him and pulled him closer to it. Chief struggled against the grasp of the Queen.
It opened its mouth to show another mouth inside it. Chief struggled a bit more before taking hold of the Energy Sword. Just as the Xenomorph Queen's inner mouth thrusted out, Chief sliced it off. The Queen screeched in pain, giving Chief one more opportunity. Using the last of the sword's energy, Master Chief sliced the Xenomorph Queen's head off. It floated off its body, and the grip of the Queen loosened. Chief sprang off the hand of the dead alien and used the Jet Pack to make his way to the Pelican, getting inside of the back of it and closing the doors.
Master Chief made it to the pilot seat and started the Pelican, gaining full control of the ship. He started to fly it out of the UNSC Avalon just as it started to burn up. The Pelican left the ship and slowly started moving upwards, Master Chief and Cortana were relieved that both had made it out alive and well. Even though they both well knew....they've been through worse.
Felix: Damn! That was freaking awesome! Show it again!
Axel: The Xenomorphs may have had Master Chief outnumbered and were very intelligent as well as stealthy and agile, but Master Chief had every other advantage.
Felix: First off, Chief's weaponry did have limited ammo, but that didn't matter too much as just a few shots from those weapons could easily take down a Xenomorph. Sure, the Xenomorphs could see Chief when he uses Active Camouflage as they've spotted cloaked Predators before, but Chief didn't need to rely on stealth in order to take them down
Axel: Master Chief can be compared to Predators as they do have little but some similarities. However, Master Chief not only has better armor than Predator's do, but his tactics helped him kill the Xenomorphs at a much quicker rate.
Felix: It's also worth noting that the Predator's in Aliens V Predators were inexperienced compared to other Predators. Master Chief likely has more experience than those Predator's
Axel: Xenomorphs could gain an advantage over foes via stealth, but they could not hide their appearances from a radar. Sure, radar's aren't specific in telling where a Xenomorph might be, thus striking fear into the person using it, but Chief has been shown to keep a calm mind in some of the most intense situations.
Felix: We're not saying that Chief can't experience fear, but he's be shown to not express it, meaning the Xenomorph's normal fear tactic wouldn't work.
Axel: Plus, Chief has dealt with parasitic alien races before. The Flood does compare to the Xenomorphs in some areas, granted, Xenomorphs are more intelligent, but Chief is no stranger to the whole 'parasitic alien race'.
Felix: Now when the Xenomorph Queen showed up, things got more serious, but Chief wasn't outmatched here. Especially in strength.
Axel: The Xenomorph Queen was once pulled down into the ocean by a water tower. The average weight of water towers are equal to at least 10.43 tons. On the other hand, Master Chief can effortlessly flip Scorpions, tanks that have a casual weight of at least 66 tons. The Master Chief outclasses the Xenomorph Queen by a lot. And consider that the Xenomorph Queen was chained to that water tower by an inexperienced human and Predator.
Felix: The Xenomorph Queen may have been faster, but that didn't really matter in the end.
Axel: What question this fight comes down to isn't 'if Master Chief can beat the Xenomorphs', but rather, 'how long can the Xenomorphs last before Chief kills them all.'
Felix: Chief was going to win anyway you slice it.
Axel: The winner is the Master Chief.
