As the dust settled over the burned-out Hellmouth Valley, four UNSC Marines crouched behind the overturned remnants of an old pickup truck, rifles trained on the neon-lit alley ahead. Between them stood a singular figure, emerald armor hulking and motionless: the Master Chief. Beyond ruined signs that flickered "Loo Loos Diner" in infernal script, movement shimmered—a red-skinned imp from a hellish dimension, nails sharp, eyes wild with hunger.
Private Ramirez exhaled. “Sir, that’s... not in the manual.”
The Chief’s visor never wavered. “Weapons ready.”
Corporal Singh, nerves taut, muttered, “I knew there’d be demons, but I thought—like...not cartoon ones.”
The imp let out a raspy giggle, tail flicking, twin blades spinning in either hand. “Aww, look at you little lost souls. This isn’t Earth’s playground, meatbags.”
Sergeant O’Hara gripped his rifle tighter. “We’ve tangled with Covenant, Flood, even Prometheans. What’s one more?”
The imp licked its lips and lunged, blinding-fast—only to be met by a burst of precise gunfire and, in one fluid motion, the metallic backhand of a Mjolnir-clad Spartan. The impact sent the imp ricocheting off a “Goetia Motor Oil” sign.
The Marines advanced, covering Chief as he marched on, each step echoing doom for the invader. The imp, wobbling, hissed. “You think you’re tough? I’ve got bosses you wouldn’t believe—”
Master Chief loaded a fresh clip. “We’ve handled worse. Stand down.”
The imp glanced at the Marines—stubborn, unyielding—and then at the towering Spartan whose green visor glinted with silent menace.
With a resigned sigh, the imp backed away into the shadows. “Y’all ain’t from around here...fine, mortals. But this ain’t the last you’ll see of IMP employees.”
O’Hara watched the creature disappear. “Chief, what now?”
“Secure the area,” Chief said. “And put out a warning. There are new threats here.”
He paused, glancing toward the flickering hellish skyline—knowing already, this strange, infernal world would test them in ways even the UNSC could never prepare for.
