This was better in my head, I'll admit, and having my machine shut off half way through with me not saving anything meant I lost some steam. And why Gaben became Kirby in his ivory tower (well, dodgy-looking 2-storey shack) is anyone's guess.

Already got loads of Saints Row so I'll grab that Gauntlet in preference if it comes to that.

Master Chief is a Big Old Softie
1197 words

Master Chief was halfway inside his battle armor before he’d even opened his eyes. With one hand he silenced the alarm clock as he stripped his boots on, snapped the clasps on his armguard shut and gave the visor of his helmet one quick swipe.

Black Friday would be brutal, but he was ready. Halo 4 GOTY for 20 bucks. Pocket money he could afford to spend.

He put his helmet on and dramatically turned towards his Wall of Heroes.

He stopped.

Someone had defiled the Halo poster.

Pink smears and glitter all over. Flowers where a muzzle flash was supposed to be. Hearts engraved into cold, hard steel armor. A unicorn horn stuck out of Master Chief’s helmet.

“Moooooom,” he yelled as he ran down the stairs. “Trudy has ruined my artwork!”

His mom was in the kitchen, stirring cookie-dough with a wooden spoon. “I’m sure she didn’t mean to, dear.”

“She can’t come into my room like that. It’s not cool.”

The head of a little girl peeked out from behind his mom’s legs. “Didn’t you like it?” she said.

“You can’t do that, Trudy, it’s my stuff.”

“I’m sorry.” The girl looked to the ground and scurried out of the room. Master Chief snorted.

“She was just trying to be nice,” his mom said. “She wanted to ask you if you could bring her that Hello Kitty doll when you go to the store. I’m busy.”

“Well, she shouldn’t have broken into my room,” Master Chief said.

“She’s five, Travis.”

Master Chief rolled his eyes, but he had his head inside a helmet so it probably seemed like he’d just dumbly stared ahead.

“At least think about it,” she said.

#

“War,” Master Chief said. “War never changes.”

“What about when they discovered gunpowder?” the black Space Marine from Gears of War said. “I think that was a thing that changed war quite a bit.”

“You are right.” Master Chief laid a hand on his battle-brother’s shoulder. “It is good to have you with me, and your wisdom, dear… uhh...”

“Augustus.”

“Sorry, I forget the name.”

“Dude, he’s like the only black member of--”

“The time is near.” Master Chief pointed at the store clerk who lurched towards the entrance. Behind them, a colorful mass of people gasped and awed.

“They’re opening up!” a tiny girl screamed from atop her mount. “Daddy, they’re opening up!”

“Push!!!” someone yelled.

“Buy all the deals,” some idiot in the crowd said and nobody laughed. There was the sound of a face getting slapped.

The clerk took a key out of his pocket.

“I’m suddenly becoming aware of a strategic flaw in our positioning,” the half of Augustus’s face that wasn’t pressed against the glass storefront said.

“Uhghf ghofsummf,” Master Chief agreed.

The doors popped open to the grunts and shouts of a neglected capitalist underclass.

“Go,” Master Chief yelled. He took point while Augustus fired blindly over his shoulder. Thunder ripped through the store, Pew Pew, Pew Pew. Metal shards went into the frenetic zombie horde behind them, ripping their rotten flesh to shreds.

Master Chief darted around the corner, his rifle leveled. The discounted Halo 4 GOTY boxes were stacked up at the far end of the hallway. They were guarded by brightly colored Elites who plaintively held up their hands, a defense strategy that would work as well against him as politely asking a thunderstorm to leave.

“Fire in the hole!”

He pulled a sticky grenade from his belt and accidentally loosened all the others. The black plastic pineapples scurried across the floor.

Augustus yelled as he tripped over them, crashing into the ground with a jaw-grinding sound.

“Go on without me!” he said in the most cliche way possible.

“No, man left behind,” Master Chief said. He dragged Augustus out of the mob’s way, down the PS Vita aisle, where games go to die in peace. “Semper Fi, bitch.”

“No! You idiot! You could have grabbed two games.”

The people rushed past them, an earthquake of opportunistic frugality going straight for the Halo boxes.

“Oh. poo poo.”

Master Chief peeked out of their hiding spot. The brawl at the Halo stack was the real-world equivalent of a dust cloud with fists sticking out. An orgy of violence, a twisting wall of joints, limbs and unrelenting cheapness. It was impenetrable.

A single box of Halo 4: GOTY slithered towards them.

They both looked at it for many long seconds, then at each other.

“Look,” Master Chief said. “If we--”

A jackhammer drove the air from his lungs.

“I totally saw that coming,” he wheezed.

“Sorry bro, it’s everyone for himself out here,” Augustus said.

“Here’s what we do to traitors on Eridanus II.” With an effort Master Chief hefted his gun upwards and emptied the magazine into Augustus’s belly. The man’s body shook with impact, specks of blood and flesh polluting the ai--

Augustus clutched the game and booked it.

“I shot you,” Master Chief said. He ran after him. “loving cheater!” He threw his last sticky onto Augustus’s head, where it exploded in a purple fireball that consumed all.

“Ow,” Augustus said. He kept running.

Master Chief’s crotch started playing the Halo theme. He let go of his rifle with a pained grunt and answered the phone mid-sprint.

“What?” he yelled.

“Oh uhm… hi Travis it’s me Trudy.” She took a deep breath and then didn’t seem to know what else to say.

“What do you want?”

“Oh, I-- I…”

He was getting closer to Augustus. Any moment now.

“Trudy!”

“I just wanted to say sorry for ruining your poster and good luck and do you think you can--”

“Goddamnit, I don’t have time for this!”

“Oh. Okay.” She said it like she’d just been told that shooting Old Yeller is only merciful. There was a brief pause, and then she hung up.

Master Chief slowed. His stomach felt like someone had thrown a wrench in it, and it wasn’t from the punch.

rear end in a top hat.

The Hello Kitty corner was close by, and the dolls Trudy had wanted were still there, some of them. They disappeared off the shelves rapidly, and little girls poured into the store by the truckloads.

The other way Augustus had almost reached the cashier.

It came down to this. Doll or awesome video game. Really, it shouldn’t have been a choice.

And it wasn’t. Because right then, Master Chief remembered.

He remembered what he stood for.

#

“I took many little lives for this,” Master Chief said, “but the Champion of Justice returns with the prize.”

“You got it!” Trudy screeched. She all but ripped the doll out of Master Chief’s hands and ran off with it, laughing.

“Welcome home, Travis,” his mom said and ruffled his helmet. “I’m very proud of you.”

“Well, she is family,” Master Chief mumbled.

“I’m sorry you didn’t get your game. But maybe we can buy you a new poster to make up for it?”

Master Chief thought about that for a second. Trudy’s excited voice carried all the way from inside the house, announcing a new guest to her daily tea party.

“Actually, that’s okay, mom,” he said. “I think I kinda like it.”
