Well although I think it would be an awesome fight, im pulling for Ripa Moramee, and heres why: 1. although elites and brutes are both about the same size (on average) its been said that brutes are physically stronger than elites, now if your a devout fan of the halo lore, you'll know that elites are more agile and faster than brutes, so in the speed departement Ripa wins. 2. Now looking at their weapons the Gravity hammer wins in sheer destructive power, but the energy sword is equally deadly as its been stated to cut through "virtually anything" (as it cut through Johns armor like butter, which is made of Titanium A grade diamond weave reflective armor plating). So in terms of weapons I think their evenly matched. 3. Now lets recreate the scene: Standing in the halo control center is tartarus, demanding that Miranda activate the ring with the index. Ripa Moramee, runs around the corner, energy sword in hand and brute blood spattered all over him. Turning around Tartarus eyes the weary looking elite and smiles, knocking Miranda to the floor and slinging from his back his gravity hammer. Ripa straightening up, pulls out his second energy sword and sets in a defensive stance. Tartarus sensing an epic battle rushes forward like a fraight train, barreling down on Ripa, hammer hung over his head for a downward smash.
Ripa side steps and slashes and Tartaru's sides but his shields hold under the attack, kicking Ripa away wih his tree trunk legs, Ripa looses his breath and skids back. Swinging his hammer sideways towards Ripa, the elite ducks underneath his strike and shoulders Tartarus to the floor. Wasting no time, Ripa jumps on Tartarus, both swords ready to pierce Tartarus's heart. Rolling out of the way just in time Tartarus, stands up underestimating his oponent. Ripa freeing his swords from the floor below, charges at Tartarus, yelling an elite battle cry. Tartarus unready for the sudden attack is hit with blow after blow, until his shields are reduced to nothing, and he falls to one knee. Ripa looking down at him is unaware that Tartarus was only fainting, and is hit with a direct hammer blow sending him flying backwards. With both their shields down, they stagger to their feet, ready to kill each other if necessary, running at each other full speed they meet half way before passing each other and standing still. Tartarus staggers and falls on his face his heart pierced by one of the swords. Ripa standing triumphant kills mirands and activates the ring mumbling to himself: "i wonder why Tartarus didnt just do that O_o...oh well...ON TO THE GREAT JOURNEY!"
And that would be the battle between Ripa and Tartarus U_U
Brutes are the epitome of physical prowess in the Halo universe, Elites are not faster, even John states so in First Strike.
