Second Battle time. Like I said, each chapter is disconnected from the last. It is basically my versions of how anime/game crossover battles would go down. I think you guys are going to like this one. It's gonna be pretty epic. sorry It took so long. It went through several revisions.

Oh, another thing I wanted to point out. No flaming me on the outcome of the battle. By all means, insult me all you wish. But do so about my technique, not my opinion. and Master chief's abilities are based upon the fiction novel by Eric Nylund.

Now, where was I? Oh yes... this one is quite juicy.

Battle 2

Samus Aran (Metroid series)

Vs.

Master Chief (Halo series)

The vast vacuum of space was mesmerizing. Each star called out its own hymn of astral light, and each void was stricken with pain and loss. The star dust was sprinkled throughout the cosmic milkshake of the universe.

In the gargantuan spectrum, a small one man space craft was almost a ghost in perspective, as it drifted through the outer depths of an unknown galaxy.

Samus Aran sighed in silent annoyance. Just because they picked up some strange

energy readings, they just Had to recruit the one bounty hunter that didn't give a damn. She removed her stuffy helmet and allowed her long silky blonde hair to cascade across the bright purples of her Grav-Suit. Even through the windows, the shimmering stars twinkled in their reflections off of her suit.

But the question remained. Why her? The GF could have sent any no-name for this investigation. No. There had to a bigger reason. She didn't have the energy to ponder now. For the time being, she thought she'd grab some sleep.

Lush green jungles, Peaceful swamps, alien warriors and mega weapons. These were all associated with one thing. The Mysterious world of Halo.

Chief sighed. To him it was all old news. His party of newbies were out scouting, leaving him alone at base camp. However bored he was down here, he smiled. At least I'm not up there.

John had always been uneasy during space travel. There were too many variables, all of them out of his control. No. He preferred his feet planted on the ground, where he was in charge. That's just the way it's always been.

He looked with silent nostalgia at the twinkling star systems. In a way, they felt closer than they were. In a way they gave him hope. They told him that no matter how many planets got glassed by the Covenant, there would always be other stars, planets, Life.

Meanwhile, another being was in range of the planet. And her reaction was slightly different. Samus awoke with a start, as the ship's auto orbit and landing reactors came online.

The Hunter was a mesmerized. Stunned in awe of it's beauty. She began her descent on the planet.

Chief's HUD began blinking. Something was coming. He looked up as a strange, organic looking ship descended right next to his drop-ship. His first notion was that it was Covenant, but it was a strange color, not really associated with covenant's uniform fleet. But nonetheless, it wasn't human.

A hatch opened atop the winged instrument, and out came a humanoid-shaped Cyborg. It had extensive body armor, and vaguely reminded him of his MJOLNIR.

Samus Immediately recognized John as the enemy. She had a strict, "Shoot first, ask questions later," Policy.

Here in lie the problem. The Master Chief, despite countless intelligence augmentations, shared the same policy.

And so it begins.

Chief Immediately Dove towards her wielding two Semi-automatic machine guns, firing freely. Samus Dove off the Vehicle, parts in her power suit grinding into place. In an instant she was a sphere, and rolled over the ground towards the Master Chief. He leveled, reloaded and open fired on her. The ground around Samus erupted in a ripple of tiny bullet-sized explosions. She easily avoided the SMG fire as the ones that did hit her, pinged off the suit harmlessly. Chief Fired and fired as his Magazines grew dangerously thin.

The SMG was terribly in-accurate. He threw down the two guns and pulled out a pistol. It was less fire power, but every shot hit its mark.

Samus rolled up to John and in one swift movement, morphed out and kicked the pistol out of his hand. Any other wrist would have instantly snapped instantly, but the bone augmentations held firm. John crouched and ran back behind the drop ship. Samus rolled back behind her ship as well.

This was no normal opposition. He was skilled and powerful. She tried to devise a strategy as she charged her beam. She knew that this would inevitably lead to hand to hand combat.

Chief pondered reporting to the rest of the squad. He decided against it. They were out scouting. If John himself reported for help, then the morale of his regiment would practically shatter. No. he would handle this on his own.

"Cortana, what is that thing?"

A smooth female voice spoke through his helmet speakers. "I don't know, it seems terrestrial- Some kind of Cyborg maybe. I can't find any match in the UNSC database. One thing's for sure, it's not ours."

Chief sighed. "Is it a Machine?"

There was a huff, followed by, "If it was a machine I would have hacked it already."

Of course.

He snaked a probe out around the drop ship. About twenty meters away he could see the enemy space-craft. He zoomed in and saw a cast shadow protruding out from behind. He made the necessary calculations, and threw a frag-grenade. He watched through his HUD as the explosive sailed through the air. There was a flash of light, as the grenade exploded in mid air, pelting them both with shrapnel.

It was obvious. This thing, what ever it was, was skilled. Chief swapped weapons. He picked up a few Frag Grenades, a Battle Rifle, and a pistol. His snake probe retracted and he tried to concentrate. The rest of the troops were gone. If he got the dropship blown up, he and his team wouldn't have a way home. It was clear.

He had to take this fight somewhere else.

He took a second, threw a frag-grenade behind the enemy vehicle, and turned and charged back in the opposite direction, keeping his trail behind the Pelican for as long as possible.

It didn't matter. Samus immediately detected his heat signature moving into the distance and was hot on his toes. He realized this, and forked to the left. Better to be running alongside your foe than in a straight-line with your back turned.

Samus took off to her left, sputtering bits of laser out of her cannon. John returned fire.

The bullets once again, pinged harmlessly off her suit. Samus clicked her already charged beam cannon on. She leveled, steadied, and fired. A giant two-meter-thick beam erupted from the cannon.

Chief's IR sensors couldn't track it and immediately shut down. He sighed, and then shot into the forest with a super-human burst of speed. The energy explosion licked his heels, sending him spiraling into the woods. His HUD indicated that his shields were now down to half. This was bad. He didn't want to reveal his true speed and power until he made the kill. Showing this entity his true skill may have condemned him. He reached up, grabbed a branch, and effortlessly pulled his body up onto it.

Samus cursed silently. She had just barely missed him. That last energy bolt would have destroyed him. She stopped at the edge of the woods and switched to infrared. She scanned the depths of the forest and saw a few warm spots, namely alien animals and such. No significant heat signatures. She cautiously crept into the woods, her senses amplified by her current situation. Every twig prick or sound, her cannon barrel was at the ready.

Then he struck. John shot out of the shadows and dove at her back, knife in hand. She elbowed him in the chest, threw him over her shoulder and fired a freeze beam. His arm was immobile. He rolled to his feet, and melted into the shadows.

Normally right now any normal person would have begun to panic, but Samus Aran was no normal person. She was a hunter. Even this being so, she was finding it quite difficult to keep her composure.

The Master Chief was experiencing this common sense of dementia, but pushed it aside and concentrated on the task at hand. His left arm was frozen in an eight centimeter thick slab of ice. The MJOLNIR had already begun increasing the temperature controls, but it would never melt in time. Already she was drawing in on his position. His weapons were useless. That left one other option.

Hand to hand combat.

Samus smiled in spite of herself. With that frozen arm, she could track him. She had hoped the AI in his suit would try and resolve the problem, throwing off the heat masking device. She stared as a rough arm-shaped cold spot stood directly in front of her.

Chief clicked on his helmet lights, engulfing her thin curved frame in the blinding white beam. She squinted, attempting to make out his features. He was easily two and a half meters tall. He doused his light, and Samus Fired a rocket. The rocket hit a close by tree and exploded, sending splinters and shrapnel. The tree lurched for a second, and then cracked and splintered as it fell backward. It took down several other trees with its weight and size.

Chief dodged, catching a few pieces of shrapnel in his arm and leg. He stopped and rolled, but was instantly crushed by a falling tree.

Light flooded in through the recently punctured hole in the canopy. Samus knelt, her arm-cannon leveled at her side, unmoving. Her gaze was averted to a small blinking orb on the forest floor.

A frag grenade. She dove, but the explosion still shuddered through her body and knocked the wind out of her. She laid waiting for her vision to refocus, as she saw the blurry base of a tree begin to move. It shifted and toppled over, as John slowly stood, the dirt and debris falling off his bodysuit. They looked at each other and knew how to end it. They both charged. Samus threw a punch. John side-stepped it and caught her wrist. She heaved and slammed him under the chin with her shoulder pad. He was knocked to the ground but rolled and recovered.

Samus did a high kick to Chief's face. He blocked it with his arm, in a lightning fast movement. The ice exploded in all directions and the plasma shields flickered and died. MJOLNIR cracked and splintered from the sheer power. Any normal human's limb would have been snapped clean off, but his near indestructible bone structure, thick muscle-mass and the MJOLNIR, had held firm. He knew he couldn't take another hit like that in the same place, or his arm would be finished.

John's arm snaked around and grabbed Samus's ankle. He shifted his weight, and, with a shuddering crack, slammed his other arm into the underside of Samus's lower leg. This time, the bone did break. The inner shin shattered as Samus became blinded with pain. John instantly grabbed her left arm and punched her in the stomach. A crack sprang up and stretched from side to side of her suit. Ribs were broken.

It had become clear. Chief's Augmentations of speed, agility, strength and reflexes were simply too much. As Samus began to lose consciousness, she saw compassion in this man's eyes. She knowingly accepted her defeat and blacked out.

A blurry haze, fuzzy lights, and garbled murmuring. Is this what death feels like? her eyes snapped open. she felt rather weightless, as a strange feeling encompased her composure. Nudity. she glanced down. Other than bandages, braces, and some nasty stitches, she was stark naked. a thin blanket concealed her modesty, as she glanced around with confused eyes.

She glanced over and was startled to see the man in armor slumped against a steel wall. the metallic chamber they were in was small, but in no way claustraphobic. around her, each in their own section, sat a marine. The letters UNSC were scrawled over badges on their shoulder, and a bar of brightly intense colors was adorned below, obviously showing rank.

After awhile a rarity occured. She spoke. "You didn't kill me..."

After a brief sigh, John removed his helmet, gulping in a breath of fresh air. "The threat was neutralized. There was no need." he looked at her curiously. "So, what's that suit made out of? It was almost the end of me..."

As they talked, the lights of the space cruiser winked on above them. Master Chief wouldn't soon forget his brush with death, and all of the forces in the universe he still did not understand.

And, there you have it. I re-wrote the ending. Originally I had Samus brutally killed, but I felt this was a better end. Again, many of you will dislike the outcome of many of these battles. To that I say, Deal with it. And enjoy.
