“Not bad. I can see how you were able to outlast Cero 'Trasum's Deja Vu.” the Sangheili says suddenly, catching you by surprise. Seems this one knows about his kind's failure against you before. So why does he think <span class="mu-i">he</span> can beat you? “It's time undoing was a powerful ability, albeit for a short time. But I have no such restrictions on my power. Ice Nine.”
Suddenly a blast of frigid wind slams into you, you bringing your wide sword down like a shield to try and take some of the blast instead of your admittedly lightly-clothed and workout sweat-drenched body. But as you do, ice begins forming on the blade itself! To your shock, as your back crashes into the far wall, the icy wind keeps you pinned there while your blade continues freezing, growing colder and colder in your grip.
“Dammit, I have to get clear!” you think to yourself, and decide to try throwing your weapon at the Sangheili to create an opening. But as you have the thought and look down at your hands, you see that your fingers are actually frozen as well! Encased in a thin layer of ice, freezing you to your weapon! “N-No way!”
“You will not survive me.” the splitjaw continues over the icy storm, you watching helplessly as the ice continues growing and spreading. You watch in horror as your entire body is swiftly encased within a thin layer of ice in just a few seconds. You have to do something, and quick, or you could very well die in here! Then it hits you, you have an assist you can call in just for moments like these!
“Pursuer!” you call out, summoning the ancient warrior spirit still inhabiting your weapon. The heavily armored knight appears before you, spectral body seemingly unaffected by the ice storm. “Kill him!”
“There you are.” the splitjaw says as you summon the phantom, lunging forward towards you both through his own icy blast. Your weapon's spirit raises it's shield to block, but the Sangheili is too powerful. He kicks the Pursuer's massive shield aside, catches the phantom's right wrist in his left hand, then drives his blood-red blade directly through the armored chest of the knight. Phantom particles spray all over your rapidly-freezing body, and to your shock as he fades you see the splitjaw's body isn't immune to it's own ice, and is now covered in what looks like frost. He then draws his blade back once more, and judging from his stance plans to end this here and now. “No more tricks. Die.”
But you're not going down so easy, and you're most CERTAINLY not done yet!
