The Master Chief opened his eyes. His visor adjusted and then refocused. He flipped himself and looked over his shoulder. Battalions of covenant were marching in the street; there iridescent turquoise glinted in the Earth's sun. They let out a chant as they marched in perfect unison, each step perfectly calculated. It was in the form of a goose-step almost, the knee went high, then the hooves smacked against the concrete making a large pounding noise.

He ducked down and primed a grenade. He calculated the trajectory of the throw and how long it would take to land in the middle of the battalion column.

He turned around only to see a green blip on his screen. He looked up to see a silver blob jump off the sky scraper above him. Slowly the blob moved faster and faster towards the Covenant elite battalion. The silver mass smashed into the battalion with an immense crash. A shockwave of the impact blasted the elites off their feet.

The mysterious figure looked up and noticed the Master Chief and sprinted down the length of the street and under the balcony of where the Master Chief was crouching. The Master Chief slipped his grenade away raised his charged plasma weapon and turned around. There was a split-second of silence, as the two warriors had their charged energy weapons pointing at each others head. They both pulled the trigger.

The Master Chief flew back and smashed through the balcony concrete while the silver warrior slammed through the wall of the skyscraper behind him. Both of their shields sparked as they ripped through the structures. Master Chief recovered and jumped back onto the ledge while the silver warrior climbed out of the hole he had just made. Finally their shields dimmed. They both instinctively grabbed their pistols on their left hip and fired at each other in semi-automatic, the bullets smashed against both of their armors as they both recoiled after every bullet hit them. The Master Chief watched as his health meter quickly disintegrated from green to red, and then all went black.
