A deep ominous choir seemed to echo across the perpetual vastness of space; expanding and encompassing the meek little earth below it. A cosmic blanket, with little tiny pinpricks of light - as if God had shoved needles into the sky to make holes - everywhere. Some formed familiar patterns, the Master Chief noted, while others did nothing of the sort. The different perspectives on the star systems were not friendly to his traditional concept of constellations. Staring down at the Earth, John-117 duly noted that it was both far less interesting, and going to get far more interesting very soon.

SCHWING!

The soldier in front of him was cleaved in twain and as the slices flew apart at Mach speed, Chief took a brief, attosecond notice of his surroundings. Barren tan-like ground, a short layer of snow covering it. Footprints could be traced miles back in the snow, through and beyond the massive brown rainbows that were canyons. Thousands of feet high, they surrounding him in every direction but forwards and backwards. A small riverside - beginning to be stained with blood - weaved and crossed along Master Chief and his 'escort'.

In front of him - moving very quickly - was a young man, blonde, wearing no armor yet a massive dull gray blade. Easily six feet long.. yet two feet wide. It must have weighed two tons. With enhanced reactions, Chief barely dodged to the left, a dash of dirt shooting of his armor. The man flew past him, quickly catching his footing on the Earth. The young man turned at Chief.

"..So you're the Master Chief. A sorry sight if I ever saw one," the young man said, bracing his weapon forward. He pointed the massive two-hander sword like a rapier. "..You don't even have a weapon. You're quick.. are you quick enough to fight me..?" The young man said with a smile. Stepping forward, he repeated himself as Chief reached for a magnum pistol in his holster. "Call me Cloud.. I'm here to kill you, John."

Cloud stretched the sword behind him. With a brief clink, the sword fell still. An eery moment passed as Chief raised his pistol into the air at the young man's eyes. 

FIGHT!



Chief pulled the trigger, letting off a barrage of small explosive bullets - but with a smirk on his face, Cloud merely spun the blade in place. The blade's massive chode-like girth helped; every single bullet simply bounced off the immense sword before Cloud dashed forward! The air seemed to vibrate as the SOLDIER's blade met the SPARTAN, who attempted to push back -

CRASH!

and was thrown, not by the cutting edge, but by the sheer force itself. Lodged in the side of the canyon mountain, Master Chief sighed. It was going to be one of those fights. 

Separating his neck from the rock, Master Chief primed himself. Cloud looked up, almost with pity in his eyes, and said "Come on now. You can't even take a single blow? I should just deal with you right here." Smirking now, Cloud readied his knees, and leapt up at the Master Chief! His massive sword swept behind him and was perfectly poised to slice Chief right in two - 

Chief leapt out of the canyon face, jumped on Cloud's sword, and punched it! Disoriented suddenly, Cloud slammed his own face into the cliff wall, before Chief took two fragmentation grenades and stuck them into the sword's (now empty) Materia slots. Leaping off, Chief pulled out his beautiful twin assault rifles! A beautiful barrage of BRAT BRAT BRAT BRAT BRAT BRAT BRAT BRAT - the symphonic sound of several dozen bullets impacting Cloud's flesh. When the Chief landed, he continued his fire. Pulling out a Squad Automatic Weapon - the SAW - and unleashed another full-blown attack onto the SOLDIER.

Cloud's back became bloody, his defenses dropping. His mind raced. He wouldn't lose - no way - but he had to think of a plan. His back hurt worse than any pain he'd ever had in his life. Alright, he decided. I'm going to get out of here and not let him out of my sight - 

CRACKOOM!

The grenades in Cloud's Buster Sword exploded, shooting Cloud out of the canyon and the Buster Sword away from him. The sword stuck in the dirt, and as a massive cloud of dust and smoke enveloped the two fighters, Cloud barely made it to one knee. He looked up, and he couldn't see anything. He was practically blind in the smoke - 

WHAM!

Chief's knee shattered Cloud's jaw, the force of the elite SPARTAN's combat prowess become obvious to the poor SOLDIER. Cloud was sent flying into the air, and as he reached the pinnacle, Chief leaped and grabbed onto the blonde soldier's arm, and threw him to the ground so that Cloud laid on his belly while Chief held his arm back. With a quick application of force, Chief twisted Cloud's arm backwards and a quick snap indicated it had been broken.

And that was when it all went down.



GRRAAHHHHHHH!!

Cloud exploded, the latent force of his Limit Breaks showering every nearby opponent with a million pounds of force. Every muscle in his body contorted and twisted for maximum power as Cloud threw Chief off him, and Cloud dashed for his sword. In a millisecond, he was there, holding the immense and burnt - sword with his left arm only. He struggled to lift the blade as comfortably as he once did, but with a quick swipe of the blade, he instantly cleared the smoke out. Cloud saw Chief facing him with a blue, shining blade. The Energy Sword. 

Cloud dashed forward, the force of his body overwhelming, and he swung down in an attempt to cut Chief in twain.

But it was.. in vain.

As Chief blocked the Buster Sword with the Energy Sword, the blue-hot blade vaporized the part of the Buster Sword it touched! As Cloud's face quickly turned from determined to shock, Chief easily cut through the Buster Sword, and the tips of the Energy Sword cut cleanly through Cloud's neck.

All in less than a millisecond.

As the SOLDIER lay bleeding on the ground, Master Chief phoned his officer. "MediVac, I need backup. I was attacked, but.."

"What is it, Chief?"

"I've dealt with him. He had a throat problem."
