Master Chief

John-117, better known by his rank Master Chief Petty Officer, was an augmented human during the Human-Covenant War. John was taken as a child and enrolled in the SPARTAN-II program, originally meant for quelling the problem that had arisen in the form of human rebels. When the Covenant, a race of zealot-like religious aliens invaded, the SPARTANs were redeployed to counter this new threat. Many perished, but Master Chief survived long enough to discover the Halo Ring, a supersructure capable of destroying all life in the galaxy. With the help of his friend, Sergeant Avery Johnson and his AI companion Cortana, John destroyed the Halo ring, along the way he encountered a zombie alien species, the Flood. He later helped defend Earth when the Covenant launched a daring attack on the heart of humanity. He discovered the key to destroying the Covenant weapons, the Scarabs, and invaded the Covenant flagship High Charity. After returning to Earth, he teamed up with the Covenant Seperatists and destroyed the remnants of both the Covenant and the Flood, and permenatly ended the threat of the Halo Rings. Unfortunatly, the Chief was trapped in half of the Pillar of Autumn floating in the deep dark of space, nothing but himself and his rapidly corrupting AI Companion. John returned to his cryo tube, never to be seen again, or so it was believed....

Battle vs. James Raynor (by Drayco90)
Master Chief had been drifting for so long. So long…he was content with his memories, content that he had stopped both the Covenant and the Flood. He was a hero, and at least he wasn’t dead. SPARTANs don’t die after all, they just go Missing In Action. Who knows how long he had been lost in space, but when he crashed on the desert rock, and awoke from his tube, he felt oddly naked. “Cortana? Cortana are you still there?” He struggled. No reply. Not a good thing, she had probably burned herself out long ago, going rampant. Where was he? He wouldn’t wait long for his answer, as he heard the hum of a vehicle off in the distance. A long deadly looking hover-bike rolled across the waste, parking in front of the newly awoken SPARTAN. The pilot stepped off, cautiously, but not openly hostile. He wore heavy black armor, an orange visor decorated with a carved skull slowly pulled up, revealing the man’s face. “Howdy.” The man greeted. “I’m Jim Raynor, Marshall of these parts. Saw that ship of yours hit ground from miles.” The Chief simply stood there, trying to read this man, he was clearly filled with regret, but his face was like a Sphinx, the Chief simply couldn’t read him. Not much of a talker? Well, all right, that’s fine. You got some fancy equipment there. There’s only two places you can get tech like that in the Koprulu sector- with the Graven’s Mercs…or from the Dominion.” These last words, Raynor said in total disgust. “And I work with Graven quite often, and he doesn’t have tech like that. So…” Raynor began to unclasp his revolver’s holster. Master Chief knew what would come next. He immediately drew his magnum and began to open fire. Raynor’s visor was closed again in an instant, and the bullets barely made an impact on his heavy suit. He chuckled. “Dominion’s gonna have to do better than that.” He raised the revolver and opened fire back at the Chief. The first shot was a direct hit to his head. John wasn’t expecting much of a fight, and while the bullet only did a little damage to his shields, he was still taken by surprise by the force it fired with. It was like a hand cannon! Chief threw his magnum to the side and threw a frag grenade at Raynor, scoring a direct hit. The explosive detonated, and sent the ex-Confederate sprawling on the ground. Using the time as a distraction, Master Chief fell back. He needed to assess the situation, he was stranded and alone and had no idea were he was. He slipped down into a canyon and drew his Battle Rifle, observing the rocky surface of Mar Sara. He spent about an hour, preparing. Master Chief was beginning to wonder what was wrong, surely this Marshall couldn’t be so incompetent that he couldn’t find someone on their own land. Then, his helmet-based radio crackled to life. “I’m giving you one warning- I’ve never had to shoot a criminal in my whole career as Marshall. I ain’t tolerating Dominion on my home.” There was a brief moment of silence

“I’m not Dominion. I don’t know who they are, or what you’re talking about.” Master Chief replied coldly. “That’s what they all say.” Suddenly, a massive slug landed next to the Chief’s head. “That was a warning shot.” Chief tracked the shot to a cliff, out of range from his battle rifle. Raynor was holding his Commando Rifle. John drew his Sniper and put the Marshall in his scope. He stood up and fired, the bullet moving across the gap at a speeding pace, piercing Raynor’s shoulder armor. The Terran grunted, reared back slightly, and fired the Commando Rifle, the bullet piercing hard through the Chief’s leg. Master Chief looked down, and saw the bullet had passed right through the armor, and his leg was bleeding openly. The crimson water flowed from the wound slowly, and the base of his armor around the wound began to turn deep crimson. Chief fired his sniper rifle again, this time piercing Raynor’s visor. The man fell from atop the cliff side hard, and stopped moving. The Chief put his sniper away and drew his Battle Rifle again, sprinting to check the body. When he arrived, the Marshall lay still, but after a few seconds, raised his visor and began to chuckle. The bullet was stopped just moments from his eye by the thick visor. Raynor punched Master Chief and the stomach, the haymaker knocked the SPARTAN back long enough for him to get up. He kicked the Chief hard in the stomach, before punching him in the head. Master Chief was hardly feeling anything, but he didn’t like to be jerked around. He caught Raynor’s fist before it could land a second blow to his helmet, and flipped him over his shoulder. The Chief planted his foot firmly on Raynor’s chest and raised the Battle Rifle, shooting into his armor in bursts. At first it didn’t seem to be doing much of anything, but then the paint began to chip away, and soon, scraps of metal. This wasn’t MJOLNIR armor after all. But before that could happen, a Spider Mine leapt from behind, latching firmly on to Master Chiefs back and exploding. The blast sent him face first into the ground below, and it was soon followed by the blast from an Experimental Plasma Gun. The Chief rolled across the rock, dirt kicking up as he tumbled. Master Chief grabbed onto a weapon on his back hard, and rolled around, hiding it from Raynor’s sight. The Mar Sara local raised the Plasma Gun again, but before he could fire, Master Chief drew his Flamethrower. Hellfire burst from the jaws of the weapon, ignited Raynor’s armor. In seconds it overheated, and the armor was screeching. Systems were failing, non-essential parts were melting, and it was starting to smell crispy. The Chief got up quickly and punched Raynor in the face. The super-heated visor immediately gave way, and the Marshall’s nose bone followed suit. Blood dripped from his broken nose as Raynor took a kick to the chest. Raynor drew his C-14 as fell backwards and began to spray. The bullets quickly dropped the Chief’s shields, noted by a signature pop and beeping sound. The Chief charged, firing his battle rifle, while Raynor desperately drew his Commando rifle. The two shots hit at the same time… The Commando rifle had pierced through his chest-piece, but had narrowly missed anything essential. Still hurt like a b*tch though. He looked at his enemy with surprising admiration. The Marshall fell to his knees, a battle rifle round had pierced his throat. Choking, he grabbed a small picture from inside his suit- a beautiful red headed woman smiled back. “Sarah…” he struggled to get out. “I’m…sorry” he gasped and blood flowed from his mouth slightly as he fell to the ground. Dead. The Chief almost felt bad, but he did what had to be done. He certainly didn’t like killing a fellow military man. At the very least, Master Chief had some questions for this Dominion.

WINNER: MASTER CHIEF

-Months Later-

The Hyperion was quiet with Jim dead. The new captain, Matt Horner, was sitting in his quarters, listening to a recording of his fallen friend. “…But it’s our sweat and blood that’ll make it happen. After everything we’ve been through, past all the fire and fury, the one thing I know is that we can count on each other to get the job done, or die trying if that’s what it takes…because some things are just worth fighting for.” As the recording ended, a Marine walked into the quarters. “Captain?” he asked nervously “The boys want to know…what’s our first move?” Matt sat unmoving for a few moments. “We have a Dominion Assassin to bring to justice…”

Expert's Opinion
This was a very close battle. While Raynor had a heavier hitting arsenal, the Chief's energy shield and superior augmentations in strength and speed tipped this fight in his favor.

Battle vs. Samus Aran (by Deadliest9600)
The battle begins on a desert world of unknown origin.Master Chief is patroling the area in his warthog for any Covenant activity. As he is about to call it a day,a cannon hits his vehicle.Chief emerges from the ruins unscathed,wondering what had hit him. He stocks up on the weapons in the back of his trunk and scans the area.He sees a cloaked object hovering above the ground. The UFO then lands and uncloaks itself as a orange and red armored warrior emerges from the alien craft. It is Samus Aran,interstellar bounty hunter,and she has come for his head. Before Chief coud say anything,Samus fires a barrage of power beams at him,but they only flare up his shields. Chief grabs his MA5C and opens fire at her but she leaps over him and shoots hime with the ice beam. Chief blocks with his rifle,but it shatters into crumbling ice.Samus then blasts Chief with the wave beam,dranining his shields. As Samus charges towards him,Chief quickly unholesters his shot gun and plugs a round in her gut knocking her back several yards. Chief walks over to where Samus is ready to deliver the final blow when all of a sudden she leaps up and fires a plasma round into Chiefs armor, melting a significant portion of it.Samus then rolls up into a ball and rams Chief uphill towards and eventually off a cliff. Samus rolls down shortly after and approaches the seemingly lifeless Chief. As she is about to fire a cuncussion missle at his face,Chief grabs the arm cannon and tears it off with little effort. Samus draws out her last weapon the energy whip and slashes his battle rifle intwo before he could get it out. Chief with no other options pulls out the energy sword and charges at Samus. After a few clashes,Chief slices Samus's left shoulder off but she retaliates by cutting a prong of the sword off with the energy whip. Chief then quickly stabs her in the hip with the remaining blade.Angered,Samus kicks him back,rips out the sword and throws it aside. Samus furiusly snags Chief around the neck with the energy whip but this is all a part of his trap. As she thinks she is gaining the upper hand,Chief yanks her toward him and punches her square in the face breaking her visor. He then walks calmly to the sword and picks it up as Samus goes in for a final desprate charge. When she comes within range,Chief leaps over and decapitates her. Chief walks away and radios Cortana to bring him a pelican. Meanwhile in the distance,a man with glimmering silver and blue armor observes Chief through his T-shaped visor. When the pelican finally comes,Cortana says,"This battle its finished."but Chief replies with,"No....I think were just getting started".

WINNER: MASTER CHIEF

Expert's Opinion
While Samus's speed and agility were far greater than Chief's,her weapons couldn't really do much serious injury whereas Chief's weapons could. What ultimatly decided this battle was Chiefs close range weapons and his more expierence on the battlefield

Battle vs. Captain America (by So-Pro Warrior)
On Earth during World War II Captain America has just finished destroying a HYDRA base and is on his way out all of a sudden he hears a loud noise come from inside the building and thinks that their could be some HYDRA survivors he can take to interrogate and heads back in. However it isn't any HYDRA survivor but the SPARTAN-II super soldier John-117 also known as "Master Chief".

"Cortana where are we" Chief asks

"Trying to get some coordinates. It looks like where somewhere in Germany though,"

"How did we get here the last thing I remember is you waking me because the Forward Unto Dawn was under attack and the next thing I know we'er here"

Meanwhile Captain America has drawn his Shield and Colt M1911 and then begins to hear someone talking he looks around the corner into the hangar and sees a strange man wearing Green armor and jumps out.

"Freeze HYDRA scum"

Chief quickly takes out his M6G pisotl and both Super Soldiers stare down their sights at each other.

"Who are you and do I look like a big monster with hundreds of heads"

"Very funny and the name's Captain America surely you have heard of me by now"

"Actually no I haven't" Master Chief replies

"It doesn't matter, now surrender and I promise you that you won't be interrogated badly" Captain America says

"Chief he might be from a Insurrectionist group we should be careful more might be in the area" Cortana says

Just then another rumble shakes the building and while Captain America looks up to see if any rubble might fall on him Chief fires a shot a Cap but Cap quickly reacts blocking the shot with his Shield.

"So that's how it's going to be alright then" Captain America says

Cap quickly fires 4 rounds at Chief but to his surprise Chief is still standing and then sees some sort of yellow outline on his armor. Chief then fires 3 more rounds at Cap but Cap once again blocks the shots with his Shield and then tosses it at Chief which hits Chief in the head and as Cap catches it Chief justs rolls his head back at Cap like nothing happened.

"Did he just throw a shield at me" Chief asks Cortana

"I think he just did"

"Well that was a bad mistake"

Chief then charges at Cap and Cap raises his shield and Chief lands a powerful punch making Captain America crash agaisnt the wall all dazed from the strike.

"You got a punch I will give you that"

Chief then charges and fires his last rounds at Cap who justs blocks the shots and fires his last rounds of the M1911 and Chief's shields protect him and both warriors discard their side arms and as Chief closes in Cap at the right moment dodges and hits Chief in the face with the Shield knocking him back.

"I'm really getting tireds of this guy and his shield" and pulls out his MA5C and as Cap charges Chief jumps up and starts firing down towards Cap but Cap slides on his knees and blocks the shots and as Chief lands on his feet Cap quickly turns around and tosses his Shield and Chief ducks down and is about to fire at Cap until the Shield comes back and hits him on the back of the head knocking him face first towards the floor.

"Cortana what is this guys shield made off" Chief asks

"All I know is that it's made of some really powerful metal and it somehow acts as a boomerang you better be careful Chief" Cortana says

Chief gets a idea and puts his MA5C on his back and charges at Cap and Cap gets ready to fight back. Soon Chief uses his armor to increase his speed and strength and once again lands a punch at Cap's shield knocking back Cap again from the force of the impact. Cap quickly recovers and tosses his Shield which Chief easily dodges and as the Shield comes back around Chief catches it and looks back at Cap but Cap puches Chief and loses both the Shield and his MA5C as Chief gets up Cap quickly knees Chief in the face and then kicks him making Chief slide across the floor. Cap locates his M1911 and quickly reloads it and aims at Chief and starts firing. Chief quickly dodges the shots and gets behind a wall for cover. He quickly thinks and then puches the wall which flies at Captain America who narrowly dodges it and turns to see Master Chief puching Cap in the face. Cap sees that he is close to his Shield but Chief sees this and quickly goes to Cap grabbing him by the legs and tosses him away form the Shield. Chief then quickly rolls to his MA5C and as Captain America stands up Chief has reloaded his gun and fires at Captain America. Captain America is then riddled with bullets and drops down dead. Chief then goes over to Cap's shield and seeing it as a good weapon he could use in his battles he decides to take it and use it. Master Chief then walks out of the building.

Epilouge

2 Hours Later....

US forces arrive at the HYDRA base to find out why Captain America hadn't arrived at the rendezvous point and soon see the what was left of the base and Captain America.

"Get on the radio tell Col. Phillips we found the Cap" a Sergeant orders

"Yes sir" a Private replies

"Tell him that Cap is KIA."

WINNER: MASTER CHIEF

Expert's Opinion
This was a really close battle. Both warriors were excellent super soldiers. While Captain America had the Iconic shield of his to protect all of Chief's bullets, what won the battle for Chief was that he had the better protection with the armor covering his entire body and it has a shield, not to mention it increases his strength, speed, reflexes and other things. Cap's Shield only covers a small portion, and when he tosses it he is vulnerable as he has no armor to protect him. So Chief won because of his better protection.

Battle vs. Boba Fett (by Tomahawk23)
In some old plain junk yard John-117 and 5 other Spartans are searching for parts to make aircraft and spacecraft. Fett tracks him down to the junk yard. He sees him with his EE-3, takes aim at the Chief's head and puts a well placed shot, which doesn't penetrate.

The Chief turns. He then sees Fett and the other Mandalorians and opens up with his MA5C, wihch has a very high rate of fire. The shots bounce off their armor and jet packs as they run for cover behind a very small hill. There are aircraft right next to it. The chief deploys a bubble sheild. The other Spartans hear the shots and run to the area. With 10 seconds left, he throws a grenade outside the bubble shield and runs for cover. While he does that, one of the Mandalorians yells GRENADE! He grabs the grenade and throws it back. Not far, though.

The other Spartans arrive and take cover. Each side begins opening fire. A Mandalorian throws a thermal detenator. A Spartan deploys a bubble shield. One spartan didn't get in it in time, which killed him.

The Chief yells "move out- get to the gattling gun- get the high ground- run through and behind craft". As they start running, two Mandalorians take off in their jet packs. One gets on top of a large aircraft, the other stays in the air. Both spot the retreating Spartans. A Spartan sees one of them. The rocking jet causes the Mandalorians to take more time to aim. The Spartan aims his battle rifle and puts 3 rounds in each of one of their legs, amputating it. The one on the plane puts a well placed shot in his neck with an EE-3. Tthe mandies move as a group behind aircraft. Fett pops his head out of the corner. Master Chief immediately opens up with the gattling gun. One round hits his helmet and doesn't penetrate. The Spartans pin the mandies down. The chief swaps the gattling with another Spartan. He then moves to the left and opens up next to another Spartan. A Mandalorian flies straight ahead face down. With the gattling, one spartan opens, firing 38 shots. One lucky shot hits the rocket on his jet pack. It explodes, not killing. He hits the ground. Then the Spartan on the gattling puts 20 rounds into his body before he gets up, killing him after 7 rounds. 4 Mandies, 3 Spartans remaining. One Mandie tells 2 others to sneak around and flank them. He gets behind them and with his flame thrower sweeps and kills 2. The chief and another Spartan put a round into each of their necks, killing them. 2 Mandies, 2 Spartans left, including Fett and the Chief. Fett throws a thermal detenator to cover them while they run. They get behind another ship. The Mandalorian pops his head out. The Spartan quickly gets off 9 rounds. 5 hit the neck. Spraying and praying the Spartan keeps him occupied while the chief flanks. Fett hits him twice in his armor with his EE-3. He then has to reload. But rather then doing that, he pulls out his K-11 blaster pistol and his Concussion grenade launcher. He knows the Chief is flanking which he figured. He then blind fires a conncusion grenade. The explosion hits and stuns him. Fett then puts 2 rounds into his stomach. The Chief sneaks up behind him. Fett hears the sound of a man behind holding him at gun point, holding an M6 at his neck. He says "who the hell are you?" Fett, with his hands behind his head, turns around and when he's sideways, shoots the rope on his M6 and pulls it down. The Chief then shoots 2 shots, which bounce off his knee caps. He shoots both knee cap darts. Each hits his armor. They pull out their knives. Fett thrusts at him. The Chief blocks and thrusts at his neck. He moves his head to the side and dodges the blade. 20 seconds later the chief kicks him. Fett grabs the kick and pulls and trips him. Fett runs to him and gets down the Chief cuts 3 fingers of Fett's hand and as he moves closer to ward his body off, Fett backs up and the chief gets up. Fett slashes at him. The Chief grabs his hand and stabs at his neck. Fett moves his neck to the right, shoots the rope at his arm, then raises his foot and shoots one of his boot spikes at the knife, getting it out of his hand. He then pulls him towards himself and puts the palm of his hand holding the knife on the chief's back, pulls him down and kicks him in the stomach with his boot spikes, takes his hand off his back, pulls him towards him and John pulls out another knife and stabs his throat he then bleeds to death shortly after

WINNER: TIE

Expert's Opinion
This was an incredibly close battle. So close, that it ended in a tie. Master Chief only had a slight edge in training. Boba Fett had a tiny edge in armor with his Mandalorian armor that has been known to block lightsabers, against the spartan's energy shields. Weapon wise, Boba had the edge, but with the Chief's augmented strength and speed evening everything out, this battle was just too close to call.

Battle vs. Darth Vader (by Undeaddeath01)
Darth Vader:

Master Chief:

Darth Vader is perfecting the deathstar when one of his troops reports multiple pelicans aprpoaching the deathstar. Vader commands his troops to gear up when suddenly there is a big explosion on the side of the deathstar out of the rubble Master Chief and fellow ODST troops. Emediatly the troops engage in a fire fight. One ODST manages to get a headshot on a storm trooper. Another storm trooper returns the favor and shoots a ODST dead center in the heart. The Chief decides to make a bang and tosses a frag grenade which has devistating effect. Vader tosses his light saber and decapitates two ODSTs. With both sides with only one ally left, the Chief makes a small retreat, but dosen't leave the deathstar. Vader commands his last trooper to follow them. The trooper looks around but can't find the Chief or the remaining ODST, little does he know the ODST is at higher ground with a sniper rifle. He fires and gets a head shot.

But little does he know Vader was watching and jabs the ODST through the back. The Cheif makes the final stand. He takes out his battle rifle and fires. Vader deflects the bullets with ease. Seeing he can't win with bullets, the Chief takes out an energy sword and a galactic sword fight begins. Vader has the upper hand with his training and manages to cut the Cheif in the leg. Wounded the Chief can no longer fight. Vader finishes it and lifts the Chief with the force. He clenches his fist and crushes the Chief with his armor as if it was tin foil. The Chief falls lifeless and Vader retracts his light saber. He is pleased with the victory but annoyed with the damage.

WINNER: DARTH VADER

Expert's Opinion
While Master Chief had superior armor, as well as better speed and strength augmentation, Darth Vader had ultimate mastery of two things that the Chief didn't. And those were the force, and a light saber. This was what easily tipped the battle in Vader's favor.

Battle vs. Nomad (by HaydenStudios)
Master Chief is resting peacefully inside of a cryotube, not bothered by any troubles, just resting easily... He hears the faint sound of a woman's voice cry, “I need you!” The voice is so distant, he thinks it to be just part of his dream. There's no need to get up, that voice is just a projection of his mind... The faint voice speaks again, “Chief!” It's still so distant, why does he need to get up? The voice grows slightly louder, and he feels as though the depth in his sleep has decreased. Again, the voice speaks, this time more vivid, “Wake up John!” Master Chief wakes up, with a feeling of urgency, and hears Cortana's voice, loud and clear, “Chief!” The spartan comes to his senses, and pops the cryotube open to find Cortana on a pedestal in front of him. He rushes up to her, assuring her, “I'm here.”

Before the Chief has the chance to ask Cortana what the problem is, he notices an explosion in that very room. The ship he's on is unstable, and is going to explode within the hour. He realizes then that he is in zero gravity, so he pulls Cortana out of the terminal, puts her in his helmet, and lunges through the ship, avoiding various obstacles and floating debris. Chief flies through the ship, deliberately ricocheting off of large chunks of the broken interior, until the spartan finds himself outside the ship, seeing a giant machine, about the shape and size of a planet. Its giant hole in the middle sucks the ship into its entrance, as though about to consume it. “Chief, I'm trying to make contact with other UNSC forces, but with no luck. We're going to have to get ourselves out of this one. I'm detecting a wormhole of all things which can be reached by exiting the rear of this ship. It may not guarantee our safety, but I prefer it to entering what ever that is.”

Master Chief silently agrees, and lunges through the space ship once more in zero gravity, until he finally reaches the rear. Along the way, Master Chief heads to the armory, and picks up a shotgun, an assault rifle, a sniper rifle, some frag grenades, and a flame thrower. The giant planet-shaped structure has sucked the ship closer to its entrance, making its gravitational force stronger all the time. Chief reaches the dilapidated rear of the ship, and lunges outward into space's airless vacuum toward the wormhole. Chief feels the the wormhole sucking him in with greater force even than the giant electronic planet. “Wait!” Cortana yells. “I've contacted air support! We don't need to head through that portal!” A marine's voice calls, “Cortana! We've locked onto your position, and are heading your way. Hang tight.” Too late. John-117 is getting pulled through the portal, and feels as though he is traveling to another dimension.

After coming out the other end of the portal, Master Chief lands on what appears to be earth. He gets up, and examines his surroundings. Master Chief appears to be on a road running along a mountain, to the right of which is a forest with rocks and palm trees, further in leading to a cliff overlooking a voluminous pond. Master Chief heads into the forest, curious as to where he is. Nomad is in that very same forest, preparing to rendezvous with Prophet, Psycho, and Jester to discuss the mysterious death of Aztec. Nomad spots Master Chief from a distance. “Prophet, I've found what appears to be another attempt by the KPAs at duplicating our nanosuit technology. I don't know what he's up to, but I'm not liking what I'm seeing.” says Nomad over the radio. Prophet replies “If he isn't one of ours, then take him out. And be quick about it! I need you at the rendezvous point ASAP. Over.” “I'm on it.” replies Nomad. Nomad switches to cloak mode, and slowly creeps up behind Master Chief.

Master Chief doesn't say a word, but Cortana is able to tell that the spartan is wondering where he is. Cortana informs Chief, “It looks like we're on earth, but I can't seem to-CHIEF! YOUR MOTION TRACKER!” Master Chief draws his shot gun and whips around to face Nomad whom he can't see, but fires directly at his position, aware of his presence. The bullets impact Nomad less than a meter away, and a thin network of electrical current in the shape of a human's bloodstream appears in a human's figure, and a man in a suit similar in some respects to Chief's becomes visible. Nomad's energy is critical from the blow, and runs for cover just after barely dodging a melee attack from Master Chief.

Nomad makes it to cover behind a rock, crouches down, draws his FY71, aims, and fires at the Chief. Master Chief, suffering energy shield loss from Nomad's FY71, tosses a frag grenade which lands just behind Nomad. Nomad sees the grenade, switches to strength mode, emerges from behind the rock, and uses his super strength to lunge into the air toward Master Chief just as the grenade detonates behind him. Nomad lands right in front of the Chief, and grips him by the neck. Nomad doesn't manage to crush Chief's throat, but he does have a good grip until the spartan trips him up from beneath. Nomad falls to the ground, and Chief once again draws his shot gun; this time, however, Nomad, kicks the shot gun out of the Chief's hands, and pulls out his own, but only manages to get one shot in before it is yanked out of his hands by Master Chief.

The Chief prepares to finish Nomad off, until Nomad switches to strength mode, and kicks Chief in the stomach as he gets up. The hit barely buys Nomad enough time to switch to speed mode, and run onto the road before the spartan chases him with the rounds from his assault rifle. A KPA truck pulls right up to Nomad, blocking the Chief's view of him. Nomad kills the driver, the passenger, and the gunner just after a tumult of shouts in Korean accents. Nomad switches to strength mode, picks up the truck, and hurls it at the Chief. Nomad pulls out his precision rifle as the truck fly’s through the air, and fires at its fuel tank, causing the truck to explode on impact. Chief realizes what Nomad's doing ahead of time and tries to evade the explosive truck, but the distance put between the truck and Master Chief is insignificant, and the explosion drains the spartan's energy shield.

Chief runs behind various trees in the forest trying not to be seen while Nomad, outside of it, draws his gauss rifle, and takes repetitious guesses at Chief's location. The Chief's energy shield has recharged by this point... Nomad advances back into the forest, and is suddenly surprised by the Chief who pops out of the bushes with his flame thrower. Chief unleashes the fire from his flame thrower, but Nomad jumps backwards just in time to avoid the onslaught of flames. Nomad switches to strength mode, jumps over the Chief, and lands facing the Spartan’s back. Nomad catches Master Chief off guard by dealing a mighty blow to his back with his immense strength. Chief is knocked forward several feet, and his energy shields are drained once again from the hit. Nomad advances onto the seemingly unconscious spartan; Nomad is a foot away from him, about to fire his shotgun, until Master Chief quickly rolls onto his back, and sprays Nomad with his flamethrower, this time, getting him.

In a matter of seconds, Nomad is engulfed in flames, and is flailing around madly, and does so for several seconds. Nomad realizes, however, that he must not panic. Still on fire, Nomad switches to speed mode, and takes off running toward the cliff which overlooks a voluminous pond, and switches to armor mode before diving head-first into it. Master Chief reaches the edge of the cliff when Nomad is in mid jump, and draws his sniper rifle. The spartan tries to hastily aim and fire before before Nomad hits the water, but the bullet only grazes Nomad's shoulder due to how hastily the shot was taken, leaving Nomad's suit with enough energy to protect his body from the impact of the rocks eleven feet into the water. Nomad's blanket of flames instantaneously extinguishes as he enters the water, and is overcome by a refreshed, cooled down feeling, but his suit's power is drained. Nomad waits for his suit to recharge... Chief, from up above, tosses a frag grenade into the water.

After Nomad's energy has recharged, he is startled by seeing a grenade drop into the water in front of him. Nomad quickly switches to speed mode and begins swimming to shore as fast as a fish. The grenade detonates some distance from Nomad, and does him no harm with the aided surpression from the water. Chief sees Nomad from up above, and fires bulls eye shots at Nomad via his sniper rifle, but the water resistance, as well as Nomad's armor, protect him. Nomad makes it to shore, and emerges from the water. He switches to armor mode just before a bullet from Master Chief's sniper rifle impacts Nomad directly on the back. It does not damage him, but his suit is deprived of energy from the blow. Nomad turns around to see Chief far away atop the cliff from which he dove. Nomad draws his precision rifle, aims, and fires directly at Master Chief's head. The bullet impacts his visor... But his energy shield absorbs the hit, and a yellow glow appears around Chief's suit; it had no effect. Chief takes aim at Nomad in the stomach, and fires. The bullet goes right through Nomad, and he falls forward onto the ground.

WINNER: MASTER CHIEF

Chief sees his opponent fall, then rushes down the cliff, walks up to Nomad, and turns him over onto his back to find that he's still barely alive. Nomad is weak, and has no energy left to fight back. Chief puts the barrel of his sniper rifle up to Nomad's visor. He's about to shoot... “You're on my side, aren't you.” says the Chief, who slowly stows his sniper rifle. Nomad is surprised to hear Chief speak in an American accent. “Sorry for the misunderstanding.” the spartan continues, reaching out, and gently picking Nomad up. Chief carries Nomad close to where he came from through the portal, and sets Nomad down. “Why?” Asks Nomad, baffled at Master Chief's mercy. “You're a human; we fight for the same cause.” the Chief replies. “You're not from around here, are you?” says Nomad. Nomad takes the Chief's silence as a yes. “I saw you come out of there.” says Nomad, pointing at the portal, now having the strength to do so. “Would you like to get back?” Nomad interprets Chief's lack of reply as a yes once again. “You'd better hurry, it looks like it's closing.” Indeed, Nomad is correct, the wormhole begins shrinking.

Chief hesitates, wanting to make sure the Nomad is ok. “Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Go!” Nomad shouts. At this, Master Chief begins sprinting toward the portal, realizing what short time he has. He's nearly at the wormhole, until he realizes he's not going to make it, and it's too high up to reach anyway, it seems he'll be stuck in this dimension for the rest of his life... Suddenly, Nomad, who had caught up with the Chief via his speed mode, switches to strength mode, picks the Chief up, and hurls him at the worm hole just in time for him to reach it. The spartan is startled, but immediately realizes that Nomad is helping him.

Chief, in the air from Nomad's toss, glances back, and the two gazes exchange for the slightest moment. While both of their faces are blocked by visors, they know that they give each other appreciative looks. Chief, for sparing Nomad his life, and Nomad, for helping Chief reach the wormhole in time. Chief soars through the wormhole just in time before it closes.

Nomad stares for a moment in amazement at the emptiness that was once the wormhole. He is in a trance for numerous minutes until suddenly, Prophet radios in “Nomad! What the hell have you been doing?! Jester and Psycho are getting pissed!” “I'm sorry Prophet, I got held up. I'm on my way right now.” replies Nomad. Nomad switches to speed mode, and darts off toward the rendezvous point.

Chief dreads what awaits him back in his world. Chief is back in outer space, and sees that the giant planet-shaped machine had swallowed the ship from which he awoke less than an hour ago. Before the giant machine gets a chance to suck him in, however, a pelican rushes by. “Master Chief, sir!” he hears over the radio. “There's our ride, Chief.” says Cortana. Master Chief grabs onto the pelican, boards it, and is saved from the giant machine. Cortana negotiates with the pilot, and the Chief is taken to safety.

Expert's Opinion
This was a very close battle. While most of Master Chief's weapons were slightly heavier hitting, and he had more training, neither of these factors were major victories. What really won him the day was his more versatile energy shield, and augmented speed and strength that remained even when his shield was drained, as opposed to Nomad who had to manually switch between modes, and none of his effects were very powerful if his suit's energy was drained.

Battle vs. Agent 47 (by Kingofawesomeness777)
On a spaceship passing by Mars Agent 47 wakes up from hypersleep for 6 months with his instructions and weapons by him. He understands his assignment and proceeds with the mission. He quietly sneaks out of the cargo hold and notices several guards patrolling the hallway. He ducks into the shadows and when one comes by he removes his helmet and strangels him to death. Agent 47 hides the body and puts on the suit of armor. He hides his weapons in a duffel bag and proceeds down the hall. He avoids talking to any guards and makes his way to the captian's quarters where Master Chief is going over battle plans with his commanding general. Agent 47 causes a distraction throwing a coin by the room where Master Chief and his commanding general are and they go to investigate. Agent 47 pulls out his dual Silverballers and begins to shoot the two men. The bullets have minimal effect on the armor and Master Chief runs back into the room where his weapons are while 47 manages to kill his commanding gerneral by shooting his helmet with his SPAS 12. As Master Chief returns he begins firing at 47 who dodges the shots and retreats into another room. Master Chief struggles to find him and 47 uses his W2000 to try to shoot Master Cheif with only minimal damage to the armor. Master Cheif fires his weapons at 47 which deflect because 47 was wearing armor. 47 crawls into an air vent and waits to strike. As Master Chief passes by 47 jumps down and attempts to strangle him with fibre wire. After a breif sturggle Master Chief pulls out his knife and stabs 47 only to have the knfie deflected by the armor. The two sruggle for a breif period until Master Cheif manages to overpower 47 and remove his helmet. 47 shoots at Master Chief only to have the bullets defelct and Master Cheif pulls out his gun and shots 47 in the head. Master Cheif walks away wondering how 47 managed to almost kill him.

WINNER: MASTER CHIEF

Expert's Opinion
The expert's believed that the Chief's energy shield protected him from anything that Agent 47 could throw at him. On top of that, his heavier hitting arsenal and intensive training won him the day.

The experts believed that this was an easy win for the Chief, as Rex's armor had minimal protection, and no physical augmentations. A massive contrast from the chief. Another deciding factor was the spartan's much more intensive training that brought him to victory.

Battle vs. Marauder 06 (by Samurai96)
Master Chief:

Marauder 06:

On the planet Hephestus The Chief along with 2 UNSC marines and 2 ODST troopers drop in on a pelican to search the planet for any covenant activity. Meanwhile The Marauder and 4 Mobile Infantry troops are on patrol looking for arachnids. While moving through a mountainous terrain Chief hears something in the distance and tells his sniper armed with a Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti Material to find high ground to cover them from. The sniper moves out and Chief orders the rest of his men to take cover to set an ambush to whoever is coming. The Marauder and the Mobile Infantry Troops are moving through the same area and soon one of the men see something and so the Marauder orders his sniper to stay back and cover them while they move up. One of the UNSC marines sees the Mobile Infantry and thinks that they could be rebels so takes aim and is about to fire when the Mobile Infantry sniper armed with the Morita Assault Rifle Sniper version sees him and opens up putting 7 bullets in the marine. The other UNSC marine sees the sniper and fires back blowing the head off the Mobile Infantry sniper the Marauder sees the smoke trail and orders his men to fire at the location and while they do that a ODST armed with a M90 Close Assault shotgun pops out and fires at the Marauder but the shield protects him which gives a Mobile Infantry soldier armed with a Tactical Assault Shotgun to blow the ODST back but not without the other ODST taking him out with the a MA5C. The Marauder fires his Mk4 at the ODST but the ODST quickly gets back into cover and so Chief jumps out off cover and takes out his M90 and charges at the Marauder and his men. A mobile infantry soldier sees him and fires but the Chief's shield protects him and the Chief gets close enough to fire his shotgun blowing back the MI and pumps it to fire at the Marauder which blows him back but by then the shield has recharged and he only gets blown back and knocking him out. By then the UNSC sniper continues firing but a MI found a secret cave and uses it to get behind the sniper and puts a bullet into the snipers head with his Morita. The MI moves out and sees the ODST and tries to sneek up but the Chief sees him and warns the ODST who fills him full of lead with the MA5C. The ODST goes to Chief with both thinking the battle is over however the Marauder wakes up and picks up his Marauder Mk4 Rifle and fires killing the ODSTand continues to fire at Chief until his Mk4 starts overheating which gives the Chief's shields time to recharge and which the Chief attacks the Marauder grabbing the gun and using his suits power to increase his strength punching the Marauder in the face knocking the Marauder back. The Chief moves in but the Marauder grabs his fist and puches the Chief and both soon start punching and kicking each other. The Chief picks up the MA5C and fires at the Marauder but the shield protects him and this gives the Marauder the chance to do the same thing did to him by grabbing the MA5C and puching Chief. Chief has an idea and retreats with the Marauder close behind, The Chief goes up to the dead bodu of the UNSC sniper grabs the Sniper Rifle and quickly takes aim firing a single shot which destroys the Marauder's shields in one shot. The Marauder is surprised by the shot taking out his shield in one shot and tries to react but the Chief quickly puts another round into the Marauder's head killing him instantly. The Chief yells in victory "FOR THE UNSC!"

WINNER: MASTER CHIEF

Expert's Opinion
While both warriors were evenly matched with each others suit having shields to protect them. It was Chief's much more better power suit which had a faster shield recharger and also genetically enchanced his speed and strength compared to the Marauder which had slow shield recharges and only enchances his natural movement that won it for the Chief. That and that Chief has more years of training and has fought much more tougher opponents that are tougher then fighting the Arachnids.
