"Chief wake up" a voice said softly.
"Ugh, my head" complained the Master Chief
"Oh stop complaining", said Cortana "you didn't complain nearly this much when we crashed on the first halo ring."
The Master Chief opened his eyes and saw… A PURPLE FOX!?
"What the hell!" the Master Chief yelled while jumping up and pulling his magnum out of its holster.
"What are you?" he said, while pointing his gun at it
"Its me, Cortana" Cortana explained, "I changed when we entered this universe, so did you, the marines, and the elites"
"Yeah, well I don't feel any different" the Chief said, the noticed that his hands were replaced with furry claws "never mind" he said slowly realizing that he was covered in fur and had a long snout.
"Umm" the Chief started "You're a Grey wolf" Cortana interrupted "and the marines are Timber wolves, and the elites are Komodo dragons."
"What happened?" the Master Chief asked shaking his head "ow, my head still hurts"
"As I said, you didn't complain this much when we crashed on halo" Cortana replied
"Yeah, but I never changed species either" Chief said back "touché" Cortana said
"Ok, I think that that portal that we went through wasn't a normal one. It appears to be a inter universal rift and it changed us to match this universes main inhabitants, based on our species, traits, and personalities" Cortana explained
"CORTANA" John, a marine, yelled while running toward Cortana and the Master Chief, followed by the Arbiter, the elites and the other marine.
"What?" said Cortana
"We picked something up on the life scanners, actually 6 somethings coming this way very quickly," The other marine, Sabrina, said.
"Crap, what kind of weapons were they carrying?" asked Chief.
"Only one had a weapon" said the Arbiter, "it is a sword"
"A sword?" Chief asked in disbelief "was it an energy sword?"
"No, just a sword" said Sabrina
"Now why would they" "Chief" Cortana interrupted, "this universe might not be as technologically advanced as we are. They might be in the dark ages still."
"Well they don't look like they are in the dark ages," said an elite, whose name was Sha'ktan, "they look like formidable fighters and look pretty intelligent to me."

"We're getting close to the explosion," said Crane who saw where the trees were scorched from the air, and the crater that the escape shuttle made.
"Do you see anything else" Tigress called from the ground, quietly.
"No just the hole" Crane replied, "and its pretty big, bigger than the one Po made hen you threw him off the cliff the other day."
"Really?" asked Mantis, while laughing "I thought that nothing was bigger than Po."
"Stop laughing and start walking," said Tigress, sounding irritated, "and hurry up, Po"
"What's wrong with Tigress?" Po asked, sounding hurt
"Oh its probably nothing, she gets this way whenever we aren't going fast enough for her" explained Viper, quietly
As the 6 neared the area of destruction they grew silent and Po pulled the sword of heroes off his back.
"What was that?" Po whispered after a twig snapped and was answered by a loud gunshot.
He rolled out of the way when he heard the gunshot then realized that he wasn't injured.
"FALL BACK" yelled crane loudly
"What was THAT!?" asked mantis
"I guess it was a crossbow or somehting" said Po, "wait a second, where's Tigress?"
"I saw her running into the bushes ahead" said viper, sounding out of breath "she must have been the one shot at."
"NO!" Po yelled loudly "we have to save her"
"But…" "But nothing" Po interrupted Crane "we need to go now"
"alright lets go" said crane slowly, he had never seen Po so determined before.
