AN: This story was made after my friends and i were discussing the oh so serious topic of what happens if Mastercheif acted differently. This is one of them

I take no responsibility of the reader going nuts or random.

This story is partly inspired by the Halo machmania Arby and the Chief by Jon Graham.

Disclaimer: I do not own Halo. However I am totally responsible for the Master Chief's new behaviour.

"Chief, it has been an honour working with you."

The Spartan's visor polarized but it was not enough to block the blinding light from entering his eyes.

In a span of an eye blink, he felt incomprehensible pain, and then, all was dark.

The chief floated in the darkness. He didn't know how long he had been floating but one thing was for certain. He was being led to a bright light in the middle of his vision. In a few minutes, his feet reached the light, and dissolved. He did not feel any pain. Then his knees then his arms. And lastly, his head.

All turned white yet again.

The chief heard a voice. " Right. Let's thaw him out"

Another voice sounded. "Okay, bringing low level systems online. Cracking the case in thirty

seconds. He's hot. Blowing the pins in five."

John's world righted itself and he found himself staring at a technician wearing an orange jumpsuit. "Sorry to keep you waiting....."

He was confused. He had just tried to escape the ark and failed. Was this death?

His augmented eyes caught sight of a tag on the technician's clothes. It read: Pillar Of Autumn. Wait, stop, hold it there. Pillar of Autumn. Alarm bells rang in every corner of his head until it hurt. He followed the technician's instructions in a daze, stunned in his situation.

As he was going through his shield test of his.....Mark six armour? "This doesn't make sense!"He thought to himself.'

"What is the year?"He asked the technician in a neutral voice, trying to keep as calm as possible.

"Huh, its 2525 chief, what wrong? Armour doesn't have a calendar or something?"

He was about to reply when captain keys' voice rang out from the intercom. It was exactly the same conversation that happened years ago.

Could he be in the past? If he was....things would change...

"Ah what the hell, I just fought non-stop for years. Its time I had some fun." The master chief concluded that this was a dream and was resolved to make this strange dream to his liking. He decided....he would be....out of character for a change..

A voice shouting brought him back to his senses. " Their trying to get through the door! Security! Argh!"

"Wow, this dream sure is realistic. It even got the wounds at exactly at the same spot as last time!

"Come on, we've got to get to the bridge. Hurry!" The technician all but screamed at him and ran forward.

John remembered this part and shouted for the technician to stop. The technician stopped right in front of the door.

"What Sir? You heard the captain, we have to –"

The technician was cut off as the door exploded and killed him.

"Oops" was all the chief could say. The technician could have made it through the door as the chief was nearer to the cryo bay door than last time in apprehension of what was to come.

The chief shrugged and filed it under the never to be remembered part of his memory where he knew Cortana had been stuffing her erotic conversations with him there.

He ran through the next door, grabbing the Sangheili... No, it wouldn't be good to say Sangheili if he slipped. He better think the race as Elites

. He grabbed the elite and smashed its head onto the wall, swinging and accidentally killing the marines chasing it via Blunt impact trauma.

He barely spared a glance at the two dead marines on the floor and went into the next room.

A marine caught his attention while firing and shouted through the gunfire that the captain wanted to see the chief ASAP and offered to lead the way.

The chief declined and went into door behind him. He turned back and saw the same marine lying on the floor, with a plasma bolt burnt straight through his head

. It seemed that things happened differently when he did different things.

"LOL" He said out loud, before walking into the bridge, deciding to have some fun.
