Chapter 1: Oh, I'm going to have fun!
In 2007, the Canadian company known as Bioware created a new innovative RPG. This game led to hundreds of internet memes, numerous fanfiction, and porn. So, much, porn. It was called one of the greatest video games of the decade. They called it…..
MASS EFFECT
In 2010, Bioware struck again. After the amount of praise the first Mass Effect gained, it had to be continued. Improving on what it means for a game to its players love it. But this was only the beginning…..
Finally, in the 2012, Bioware had created a story unlike any other. They had the hopes of millions of gamers on their shoulders. Their "Swan Song" was at hand. Mass Effect 3 was to be the ultimate tribute rewarding a player to however they shape a story. Then, at the last 10 minutes, the unthinkable happened. No one knew what to say at first. It was one of the most controversial issues of the year. We gamers called it…..
A MASS DISSAPOINTMENT
I'm gonna fix this, my way…
"Well, what about Shepard? Earthborn…but no record of his family."
"There's no record at all. He was found on the streets, fending after himself, taking down street gangs. Once he joined the Alliance, well, that's when things really started to get strange."
"He proved himself during the Blitz. Held off enemy forces single-handedly until reinforcements arrived. Never even took damage."
"Wait, this…this he used a sword the whole time!?"
"Shepard has a….very unorthodox approach to taking on enemies." Anderson sighed. He still couldn't believe Shepard could do these things, or with using a very interesting sword and a pistol. "His usual approach is to think so outside the box, no one will have a counter to what he's going to do."
"It has a tendency to work. All the surviving raiders were beyond traumatized. Some even said Shepard yelled at the raiders in some strange language, and then they, well, exploded. We…didn't really know how to respond to this other than to send the people who claimed to see that into psychological care." Hackett noted to the ambassador.
"Well, we can't question his courage. But…do we really want someone this…unstable, protecting the galaxy?" Udina asked. In all honesty, the guy did have a point. Shepard was, way different than any other human.
And Anderson agreed, but he thought that was a good thing. "Udina, you will never find anyone else more capable, more committed, to protecting others than Shepard. If you do, you're a goddamned liar."
"Uh, I'm going to regret this somehow, I just know it." Udina muttered to himself. "I'll make the call.
The SSV Normandy. The most advanced ship Humanity had ever designed. Sure, the Turians helped, but no one really noticed, or cared for that matter. It would become a symbol of hope to the entire galaxy soon.
'And it's going to be mine. Mwahahaha.' Thought Duncan "Shepard" to himself. He was Shepard, but at the same time, he wasn't. He was from a different reality entirely. And he was even more special than that.
He was a Multiverser. A 'non-scripted' being given unimaginable control over reality. He didn't really take things serious. Ever. But when he did, shit got real.
Now he knew everything that was going to happen for the next few years, two of which, he'd have to sit out. No matter. He had a plan for that. And that knowledge alone gave him an edge. His power over reality was just overkill. And he liked it that way.
So on his way to the bridge, he was contemplating the numerous ways he could make Eden Prime a success. During that time, Nihlus, his Spectre stalker, had already left. And good ole' Joker made his opinion known.
"I hate that guy." He simply remarked.
'Nihlus gave you a compliment…sooo you hate him?" Remarked Kaiden.
'I wonder where Tali is right now.' Duncan was thinking to himself. Oh, wait he had to keep on track with responses. "Man, Joker. You can be so negative. What's up with that?"
"Really Commander? I mean, really?" Joker responded.
"Yes. Really."
"Joker! Status Report." Came Anderson's voice over the comm.
Acting as if their conversation never happened, Joker answered. "Just cleared the Relay Captain."
"Good. Find a Comm Buoy and link us into the network. I want mission reports relayed back to Alliance brass before we reach Eden Prime." Anderson ordered.
"Aye, aye Captain. Better brace yourself, sir. I think Nihlus is headed your way." Joker warned him.
"He's already here Lieutenant."
"Ohh, no more compliments for you Joker." Duncan teased.
And Anderson heard him. "Shepard, just get your ass to the comm room." He sighed.
As Duncan left, Joker had to add, "Shepard is weird."
"If you're only just noticing that now, you're even weirder Joker." Kaiden firmly deadpanned.
So after a quick, eye-opening civil lesson in race tolerance to Pressly, and giving Jenkins "Shields for Dummies" (Thank you 117Jorn), he made it to the comm room where Nihlus waited.
"S'up Nihlus." And of course he couldn't stay serious.
"Ah, Commander Shepard. I was hoping you'd get here first. Give us a chance to talk." He said.
"About Eden Prime, right?" Duncan answered.
"Yes, actually. I hear its serine, tranquil,"-Nihlus was saying until Duncan interjected.
"Exposed." He finished for him.
"Exposed? How so?" Nihlus had to ask.
"It's a farming colony out in the Attican Traverse, right next to the Terminus Systems. Sure, there's a military presence, but it's minimal at best. If it came under attack, it's screwed." Duncan logically explained.
"A wise enough answer, I'll have to admit." Nihlus had to give credit. It was and will be true.
"He's always like that."
During their short conversation, Anderson had silently walked in.
"Hey, sir."
"Am I to expect him to always think this calculative?" Nihlus asked him.
"No, and yes. I can never predict when." Anderson honestly answered while face-palming.
"And neither will anyone else." Duncan jovially noted.
"I think it's time we tell the Commander what's really going on."
"You mean how I'm gonna be a Spectre?"
"Goddamnit, how do you always know these things?"
"I'm omniscient." Duncan deadpanned. And, he kinda was telling the truth.
"Well then, I guess there's not much else to discuss until we"- Nihlus was saying until Joker's voice came over the comm.
"Captain! We've got a problem!"
"What is it?"
"Transmission from Eden Prime sir. You're gonna wanna see this." Joker quickly said and put up the distress video on screen.
So the video came. We see Ashley and the soldiers around her fighting Geth, which we can't see but hear. And the giant metal crab we all know, Sovereign.
'I am going to enjoy wiping your race from the face of this existence. And painfully deleting that Star Bastard.' Came Duncan's simple genocidal thoughts.
So here's the first chapter to me as a Multiverser in Mass Effect. Yes, I'm going to romance Tali. And no, I don't care that it's been overdone. If you're just tuning in to this new series, my intro story should be up by now. I'm gonna try and post the first RWBY chapter soon. So until then, stay frosty. And remember, constructive criticism is appreciated and encouraged. I CRAVE YOUR REVEIWS.
