Real quick note here this is more of a action and story building chapter than anything next chapter will have more than enough smut I hope. So if you're looking for more smexy time this is not it... sorry... Ch. 4 Reunion Pt. 2 Shepard looked at the map her mind thinking of the conversation she had with Harbinger before he had departed. -Earlier- Shepard stared at the reaper as it hovered forward its glowing eyes on her. "What do you want Harbinger?" Shepard asked. "A threat is upon us Shepard, a force that we could not defeat. The Beyonders." Harbinger said its voice had changed it no longer echoed and had a more human quality to it. "The Beyonders?" Shepard asked. "The race which you are now one of, a race that transcended flesh, and machine. They achieved a form that is intangible and impossible to destroy. They therefore were not a target of the harvest they fled and we were unable to defeat them. We left and we believed they perished, however we underestimated the strength of their corporeal form. They gained immortality as long as they were in that form. However their organic bodies rotted away and they have been reduced to their corporeal forms." Harbinger said. "If that's the case why the big worry?" Shepard wondered. "The Beyonders were the first to create bodies of both organic and mechanical components. However they still suffered the organic weakness of aging. Due to this they had developed an ability to switch bodies at will. In response after they had fled we destroyed their factories and their facilities leaving them with no way to rebuild." Harbinger said. "Where did they go?" Shepard asked, if the Reapers were occupying everywhere where could the go? "The center of the universe, without a need of a body they can survive it's impossible conditions..." Harbinger said, "However since you fused organic and synthetic into one they can now come back to terrorize and rule the universe again. Since they can fuse to the bodies now made we, the Reapers, shall leave so they never get our bodies and use them to rule. Shepard you who possess the body of the Beyonders must fight them without their arousal... this fight cannot be one with force... but with tactics... you must strike where they least expect and go where they think is unbreakable... Good-bye Shepard.... Good luck..." Harbinger said and with that he turned to the sky and sprung into the air. "Wait what's their goal?" Shepard shouted, Harbinger paused then it continued flying Shepard was about to call when a voice entered her mind. "Perfection," Shepard watching him go, she heard footsteps and saw Liara dressed in her research combat gear. "Shepard?" She asked her gaze quickly flicking to Harbinger then back to Shepard. "Get the others I have to explain things," Shepard said. -Next thought- Shepard had hastily explained everything to everybody it took a while for the info to sink in but when it had they looked at Shepard. "It seems we have a lot to accomplish what's first?" EDI asked. "We'll stick with informing the council, and gathering who we can... Liara make sure to accumulate as much info as possible and be sure to filter it. Also send a communication to everybody to warn them and have them ready. Joker, what happened to Vega?" Shepard shot to him. "He went on a tour to help those in need and as a special duty for the N7 since they are helping with all forces rebuilding." Joker said. "Find out where he is and tell him to meet with us at Tuchanka!" Shepard said. "Indeed if one would want to start a conquest the Krogan would be among the first of targets." Samara said. "All right people let's move!" Shepard said. -Present time- Shepard lowered her head slightly thinking she hoped everybody was all right. She heard the comlink spark, "Liara here I sent the messages and got a few responses..." Liara's voice came. "Who answered?" Shepard asked. "Jack, Garrus, Tali, Wrex, Grunt, James, and Ashley... The others have... have yet to respond." Liara said. "Give them time Liara send out feelers to the others to check on the planets... tell the others to also go to Tuchanka we'll wait there with Wrex and Grunt." Shepard said though she was unsure if there was any point to such action. "Very well Shepard," Liara said before the feed cut off. Shepard sighed as she ran a hand through her hair, she hoped the others were safe and not some puppets to the Beyonders. -Several hours later on Tuchanka- Shepard smiled as she walked up to Wrex, no longer wearing armor but an ambassador's clothes. "Wow Wrex good look," She said. "Shepard, word was you were dead, again!" Wrex said, next to him was Grunt who still wore his armor. "I was... brought back again." Shepard said, Wrex laughed then his face became somber. "I suppose that means that there's a new enemy hmm?" Wrex asked. "Ha! Is it stronger than the Reapers?" Grunt said. "Depends Grunt, this is an unusual enemy," Shepard said. "Hmm, I assume that we need to wait for the others." Wrex said. "I'm sure you can handle a few hours of waiting, better to wait here then go back and fill out papers right?" Joker said. "Why wait we can take'em on now!" Grunt said. "This isn't an enemy that brute force can beat." Shepard said. "Just be patient Grunt the others should come soon." She said, Shepard was right 10 minutes later several cruisers came in. The first to arrive was Jack, she was dressed in a more official looking uniform but with her own additions to the uniform. The sleeves were torn and the uniform was black and the collar was cut off making it a low cut. She had black leather pants that were ripped here and there revealing more tattoos. She also grew out more of her hair and made a type of spikey cut out of it. "Well shit the Queen of Girlscouts lives yet again!" Jack said smirking she walked forward and held up her hand, Shepard slapped it and Jack chuckled. "How are the kids?" Shepard asked. "Good they help me with teaching the other guys." Jack said she saw Grunt and gave a nod, "Hey Grunt how goes it?" "Heh not much just managing the Thresher Maws and killing anybody stupid enough to fight us!" Grunt said. "'Managing?'" Jack raised an eyebrow. "Killing enough that they aren't a threat but not enough that they go extinct, the Thresher Maws here are different from the normal breed." Grunt said. "We think that in 100 years we'll have the population managed to the point that they are more or less guard dogs." Wrex said. "Wow, sounds fun," Jack said another cruiser came in this one larger than Jacks it landed and Jacob came out he was dressed in his normal outfit though the sleeves were rolled up and he had no gloves on. "Shepard! What happened with the bar in Rio?" Jacob said. "Well... I died," Shepard said smiling Jacob held out his hand and Shepard took it and shook it. "How's the family?" She asked. "We still have a few months to go but the wife is happy and I am too." Jacob said. "That's good, " Shepard said. "I still find it surprising you wanna settle down Jacob a guy like you would be awesome for the alliance! No rules, taking it easy, and supporting the team, you'd be grade A and probably end up in the top 5 for the most handsome man on Earth!" Joker said. "Ha, Joker aren't you technically settling down too?" Jacob said giving a nod to EDI. "No, Jeff and I are not settling down we are still active and will continue to serve the people till we deem otherwise," EDI said. "There's your answer," Joker said smiling. "Now we need to wait for the others," Shepard said. "What's going on?" Jacob said now serious. "We need everybody here, before I can start its best that everybody knows at once." She said, an hour passed, Garrus arrived in a fighter, and he jumped out. He was dressed in a thick shining silver armor with blue accents. He looked at Shepard for a while then he walked forward and saluted. "I see you made it," Garrus said. "Technically I didn't," Shepard said, "So how's living off the royalties?" She smirked. "Will in order for that to happen we need to give it 3 maybe 6 years for this to blow over," Garrus said, "By then I'll have seen my fill of duty and I'll go off, unless they decide that I'm not allowed to be off duty." Garrus said with his dry humor. "So... how was... dying... again?" "Well let's just say that I saved a spot in that bar for us," "Well that's something to look forward to," " Hopefully by then you'll have some kids and they'll take over," Shepard replied. "That... might take a while," Garrus said thinking. "Tell me about as ugly as you are now I'd be surprised anybody'd even look at ya!" Wrex said. "At least I can look instead of just grabbing one because I'm king, makes me know I have a good woman," Garrus said coolly. "Heh heh heh..." Grunt chuckled. "Oh shut up, it's not easy having my job," Wrex said. "Hey at least people look up to you, soon you'll be a chancellor for the Krogan!" Shepard said. "And sit at a desk the rest of my life? I'd rather take on Kalros bare handed!" Wrex said, everybody save Jack the sound of explosion was heard barely over the laughter. "What was that?" Shepard asked quickly losing the laughter. "Heh heh, hmm? Sounds like our orbital guns... idiots must be calibrating it..." Wrex said. "Kalros?" She asked. "The biggest damn Thresher Maw in the galaxy," Wrex said. "Joker I noticed but I'm not sure but... did something happen? You seem to have a lot more... pep than normal also the fact that you seem to be rather comfortable where you are... not that I really care but, it raises some questions." Garrus asked. "Eh it's kinda long to explain but the short of it is that Shepard cured me of Vrolik Syndrome." Joker said there was silence. "That's not possible you can't cure a genetic disease!" Garrus said, it was then that the engine of a ship was heard. "Looks like Tali," Wrex said, suddenly Wrex's comlink buzzed, he answered the call. "What is it?" He asked. "K...Ki... King Wrex cane you hear me? Something in orbit was having a dogfight one a quarian vessel the other human but no alliance! We fired on the human vessel but the quarian was caught in the cross fire!" A krogan said his voice garbled by static. "What!? Why wasn't I notified of this earlier!? Where's the Quarian ship?" Wrex bellowed all turned to him. "Someone was jamming communications the quarian ship should be in your vicinity!" The krogan said, they heard the scream of metal and they turned to see the fiery live ship heading toward them. "Another ship Alliance, should we fire?" The krogan asked. "No! The next idiot that presses the fire button will get blasted into orbit compliments of myself!" Wrex said. "That's Tali's ship! We gotta go get her!" Jack said. "Everybody on the Normandy!" Shepard said. "Shepard you go with a team I'll stay here with a few others to keep watch there might be others coming in." Garrus said. "Ok, Jacob, Grunt, Liara come on! The rest of you either stay with Garrus or get to your ships and provide cover!" Shepard said, "Joker get the shuttle ready you're flying, EDI clear up communications and get your cyber warfare, and the Normandy ready!" Shepard said everybody sprang into duty, Garrus went to his craft, reaching in he inputted a code then got his sniper rifle out. Jacob, Shepard, Liara and Grunt headed for the Normandy to suit up and get ready for the rescue mission. Shepard went to the armory and grabbing her armor she began to quickly put the pieces on. When her N7 Armor was equipped she headed to the shuttle where Jacob, Grunt and Liara waited Jacob had a Revenant Assault Rifle in hand, Grunt a Claymore Shotgun and Liara a Tempest SMG. "Let's go Tali's waiting for us!" Shepard said they all boarded the shuttle. In her mind Shepard wondered if this was the start of the invasion and if it was what was she going to do to beat the Beyonders? -Crash Site of Quarian Liveship- Shepard sat there waiting for the time when they would deploy then the shuttle rumbled. "What's going on?" Shepard asked. "Seems like we have some guests small time soldiers but something's off about them." Joker said. "Get as close as you can to crash site then provide air support," Shepard said. "Can do Commander!" Joker said and he maneuvered the shuttle so that it was behind the crash site as the doors opened they saw the damage. Most of the ship was intact but the engines and lower half of the ship was gone now smoking and burning debris. Shepard could see the soldiers that Joker mentioned and she had to admit he was right, they were big bulky and seemed to move slowly. She jumped off the other three jumping down. "Go Joker prevent any forces from getting inside," Shepard shouted. "Roger that!" He said and he lifted the shuttle up heading toward where the forces of odd soldiers were advancing. He angled the ship and began to lay down fire immediately the force began to hide and started firing at Joker one even had rocket launchers Joker smirked. "This'll be fun!" He flew the ship forward still firing. -Shepard, Outer crash site- Shepard and her crew ran forward scanning around for the enemy and survivors she could see several bodies of quarians on the ground most with broken face masks she paid them no mind only set on one question, 'Where was Tali?' she walked forward when they all heard the sound of wrenching metal they turned to see a metal panel being lifted then it was thrown at them. "Down!" Shepard shouted and they all jumped to avoid the panel. "Get them!" A oddly sounding voice shouted Shepard looked to see a large man wearing strange armor grab a rifle and start shooting at them soon more men also dressed in armor appeared and fired. "Cover!" Shepard ordered and the group ducked behind debris. "Liara Singularity!" Shepard shouted Liara nodded and stand up she created a biotic singularity. However the enemies stayed on the ground. "They're probably shielded or too heavy!" Liara said she quickly ducked a barrage of bullets, Shepard peeked out then she reached for her side and grabbed a grenade. She armed it then she threw it at the enemies. They gave shouts of pain as it exploded shredding their armor to pieces and they grunted as Shepard poked out and blasted them. The sound of their death cries made her smile but she quickly ducked back. Suddenly she heard static on the radio, putting her hand on her com she cleared it to listen. "What is it?" She asked. "Shepard," EDI said, "I had been scanning the area for any other enemies, there are none but the enemy is emitting strange energy signatures. I am unable to find a similar energy source." EDI said, Shepard processed that info then a thought hit her. "EDI do you happen to have my energy forms energy readings?" She asked. "Yes while you were unconci-" EDI began. "Cross it with the energy from the enemy!" Shepard ordered, there was silence as EDI did as she was told. "Shepard... it's... it's a 98% match." EDI said. "Then they are here," Shepard said, "The Beyonders have made their move." Shepard said, it was then she heard grunting and looking she saw one of the soldiers grab a boulder and lift it over his head Shepard's jaw dropped. She then saw that they were aiming for Liara. Shepard got out of cover and ran to Liara and tackled her. Liara cried out as the two rolled on the ground and the boulder crashed where she had been. "Shepard!" Liara said, then a shadow fell on them and she saw another boulder coming. Shepard turned and grabbing Liara's neck she hugged the Asari tightly Liara blinked as suddenly the two began to glow. Liara threw out her hand throwing a biotic push her circuit patterns suddenly glowing brightly and the boulder was blasted up into the air. As it flew up Liara looked at her hand, "W-What's this power?" Liara said looking at her glowing body she looked at Shepard. "Shepard... did... did you-?" Shepard stopped looking to see the empty air. She looked at Liara noting the change. "What's-?" Even Shepard was puzzled she stood up the moment her hand left Liara's the glow stopped. "What happened?" Shepard asked. "I-I don't know but I was... powerful goddess I was more powerful than even the strongest of Matriarchs I... I don't know what it was." It was then that a gurgle was heard as the last Beyonder fell now dead. Jacob who had fired the last shot reloaded his gun and walked to Shepard Grunt behind him. "Didn't know you had that much power Liara even for a biotic that's pretty strong," He said, "You ok Shepard?" He asked. "Yes, and that wasn't me... at least not all of it, Shepard did something," Liara said. "We can figure it out later we need to get to Tali now!" Shepard said. "The crash site is ahead, high chance of enemy contact," Grunt said. "Then we go to plan C," Shepard said placing her assault rifle back and grabbing the shotgun, "Charge," She said. -Crash site, Main Wreckage- Captain Felix of the Beyonder assault squad walked forward, bigger than even the troops he towered at a massive 7 feet height thick armor on his body as well as a shield that had been fitted into his armor. He looked at the Quarian trying to escape. He pointed a rifle at it and pulled the trigger the Quarian fell dead. He heard footsteps and turned, "Captain Shepard is on her way, also we have found the target she and 3 other Quarians are trying to escape." The soldier said. "Tch I'll deal with Shepard, you remember our mission! Take the Quarian alive for leverage direct orders from the Emperor!" Captin Felix snarled. "Yes captain, good luck," The soldier said and he ran off, Captain Felix grabbed the Claymore shotgun on his back and the assault rifle. He walked to the entry leading up to the main wreckage; he heard the sound of shotgun and heavy pistols as well as his men crying out as they fell. This Shepard would be a worthy opponent; he wondered how long it had been since he had a good fight... 3'237 years was it? He heard the last gurgle of a soldier; he saw the shadows and held up his rifle. He saw the woman in black and red armor and he fired a shot the woman quickly went into a corner to dodge the bullet. "Come on out it was a warning shot," Felix shouted, the shadows moved and out came Shepard and her 3 companions "Greetings Commander Shepard, I am Captain Felix of the 26th Assault Squad. "It's been a while since I've fought someone worth my mettle, let's see how the legendary Commander Shepard does against me," Felix said he held up the rifle Shepard and the others went into cover. "Grunt switch weapons!" Shepard shouted, "Got it!" Grunt shouted grabbing his M-96 Mattock Rifle and getting out of cover he aimed and began to fire. The rounds sank into the shield; Shepard looked out to see the shield it was big and glowed yellowed covering every part of his body. "Tch this won't be easy," She said, and she began to consider the equipment she had time slowing to a crawl. She had a Striker Assault Rifle, a Javelin Sniper Rifle, an Eviscerator shotgun, and a Phalanx heavy pistol. Jacob had a Revenant Assualt Rifle and a Scimitar Shotgun, Liara had a tempest SMG and a Paladin Heavy Pistol. She considered everything, then a plan formulated, she had also managed to pick up some tech and biotic powers on the way as an account to her body's free-form. She put a hand on her comlink switching to privacy mode. "All right listen up, Grunt get to cover," She waited till the Krogan slammed into a pile of debris. "Ok we don't know the enemies capabilities so here's the plan, Grunt charge him get as many shots as you can and see if can use that Krogan sprint to knock him off balance. Jacob switch to Disruptor ammo and hit him with the Revenant till his shield is gone. When it is throw an incendiary grenade, Liara get to my position and get ready to use a shockwave ok?" Mass Effect: Rebirth of the Beyonder "Copy that," "Got it," "Understood Shepard," They all began to move getting into their position. "Go!" Grunt jumped over the debris, Captain Felix turned a shotgun and fired. The Krogan charged heedless as the shell bounced off the regenerating armor. Felix surprised turned both guns to Grunt only to grunt as a rapid barrage of disruptor shots peppered him. He kept his gaze on the Krogan, and then he heard a strange click and next thing he knew a sniper rifle bullet slammed into his hip knocking him off balance. Grunt jumped forward his head smashing into Felix knocking the giant man down. As he fell a blue spark shot from Felix, "Grunt get out of there!" Shepard shouted, "Jacob hold the grenade!" Jacob who had been reaching for the grenade stopped, Shepard heard grunting and she looked to see Felix was struggling with Grunt then he punched Grunt and threw him off! "Damn he's unreal Jacob now!" Jacob nodded grabbing the incendiary grenade and threw it, it slammed into Felix exploding and burning his armor. He grunted and throwing his rifle aside he grabbed the armor and ripped it off, revealing a black pulsing clothe underneath. "What on earth is that?" Liara wondered as Felix got up. "You can look at it later!" Shepard said and she grabbed Liara's hand. Liara felt the surge of power again, she clenched her hand into a fist her body glowing with bright blue light, she then threw her hand forward, large explosions of biotic energy blasted forward exploding with such intense force that it vaporized the metal of the ship! Feix stood up and saw the large blasts he smirked when the floor before him exploded and the area of effect hit his foot. He blinked then flew into the air as another blast exploded below him. He tried to move his legs only to find them to be missing! He then screamed as the pain pierced his mind. He came crashing into a metal beam, landing on his back with a horrible crack Shepard winced as she released Liara, Liara blinked as she looked at the damage then she looked at her hands then at Shepard. "Shepard... we mustn't use this power carelessly," Liara said. "I agree, and if we do use it nobody must be in the way." Shepard said, they heard a whistle and looked at Grunt. "Damn... you did a number on him... remind me never to underestimate Asari biotics again..." He said somberly. "Kck... you haven't won yet!" Everybody gave a start as Felix pushed himself off and sitting up he pointed the shotgun at Shepard. "Fucking... falsebreed bitch!" He pulled the trigger and the gun fizzled then exploded in his hand. He grunted and threw it away then his body began to glow, "I'LL KILL YOU!" He shouted, Shepard reacting grabbed Liara. "WARP NOW!" She shouted Liara threw her hands back which shone brightly then threw her hands forward, Felix screamed as it hit him then they heard his body squelch then watched as he turned inside out. They all winced as bone and muscle splattered everywhere blood splashing and spurting out. Shepard stared at it then she grunted as she felt her strength suddenly leave her, she fell forward Liara turning and seeing her love start flickering. "Shepard!" Liara shouted. "I-I'll be fine..." Shepard panted, "Find the crew and Tali..." Shepard said, her flickering intensified, "Please Liara I don't want another failure..." Shepard panted now getting to her knees. Liara stood there then nodded she went to Jacob and Grunt. "Let's go Tali and the crew should be ahead," She said. "Shepard...?" Grunt asked. "She'll be fine let's go!" Liara said, she ran off Jacob and Grunt looked at each other then followed. Shepard felt weak, the armor was barely holding onto her body. She grunted and she switched to energy form the armor falling off. She then solidified her feet and her arms and pushed herself off. It was then she heard a sickening squish and she looked to see from Felix's malformed corpse a hand poking out then from the body a strange energy being stepped out. It was also flickering, then it saw Shepard it roared and its body began to emit black smoke then it dissolved into nothing. As she looked at it she couldn't help but wonder if that was what Beyonders looked like. She didn't look anything like that in her energy form, she wondered if that would happen to her if she died. She could feel her strength coming back but it was slow. She solidified her body and leaned against the cover panting. She hoped that Liara would be strong enough to continue the mission. Shepard gave a slight chuckle, she was a quarter Krogan, and even the weakest Krogan was near unstoppable. Shepard closed her eyes, she was tired, besides... if she was gonna do what she planned to do she needed to have all her strength. -Liara, Grunt and Jacob- Liara sent a shockwave at the enemies causing them to stagger. Jacob jumped out fired at their heads while Grunt charged, the enemy had been shooting down whatever survivors there had been when Liara and the team came in and quickly killed 3 members in one go there was only 2 left. Liara thinking quickly had warped their armor off and had ordered Grunt and Jacob into battle position. Grunt slammed into the other Beyonder soldier and slammed his plated head into the Beyonders own head the Beyonder died as his head got crushed. Grunt panted and stepped back blood on his head "Ow..." he said as he rubbed his head. He looked around several bodies of Quarians laid around him he then heard breathing and he looked to see a leg shuddering. He then walked forward to see Tali sitting there with a Quarian woman. "Guy's they're over here!" Grunt shouted the others quickly approached and Liara closed her eyes and a biotic field appeared around the Quarians in an attempt to give them a sterile environment. "Shepard we found survivors," Jacob said into his com, there was silence. "Shepard might still be recovering contact Joker," Liara said. "Right, Jacob to Joker do you copy?" Jacob said quickly adjusting the frequency. "Joker here read you loud and clear," Joker said. "We need evac get everybody over here we have two wounded and both needing medical." Jacob said. "Roger that try to get back to you ASAP," Joker said closing the line. -Outside the wreckage- Joker aimed the ship at the still incoming horde of Beyonder Soldiers there had to be at least a good 200 left. "Hey guys we need some support think you can help thin these bastards out?" Joker said. "We're on our way," Came Garrus' reply, there was static then Jack's voice came. "What the hell Garrus are you crazy!" Joker confused turned the shuttle he chuckled slightly, in the distance was Jack's , Jacob's, and the Normandy on Jack's cruiser was Garrus with a sniper rifle. "No way he's gonna hit anything, he saw the flash and he turned the shuttle to the bullet path his jaw dropped as one of the of the Beyonders head exploded. "Ha these grav boots and stabilizer really help my aim!" Garrus' shouted in triumph. "...show off..." Joker mumbled and he turned the shuttle and began to fire laying down a barrage down on the Beyonder's however they had been alerted by Garrus and now were pulling out rocket launchers and some had activated shields. They fired at the two, Joker maneuvering away from the missles, while Jack spun and weaved about. Joker expected Garrus to fly off but the Turian was completelystill and seemed to even be swinging his gun in the air like a bull wrangler! The turian then aimed again and began to fire hitting shields and lowering them enough that Jack's cruiser swooped in and finished them off. Then the hum of the Normandy was heard, Joker turned and recognized the sound of a massive power draw. "EDI, don't use the Thanix Cannon," Joker said, "We wanna save everybody not fry them," Joker said knowing he was stating the obvious. "Of course Jeff, now priming Eclipse gun," she said, the Eclipse gun was a rapid fire mini laser gun that shot a steady rapid stream of laser blasts. Meant to clear an area and work away huge crowds Joker saw the bottom of the nose of the Normandy open. Joker turned his ship back to the crowd while that had been going on Garrus had been sniping some more targets killing a few then the loud ring was heard as the Eclipse gun began firing a rapid stream of yellow laser bolts ripping through the Beyonders instead of retreating they stayed and continued to fire even as they were slowly whittled down to a few ten. "Everybody cease fire," Joker ordered, the eclipse gun powered down and Garrus raised his head from the scope. Joker turned on the loud speaker, "Forces of the Beyonders you are out gunned and with wounded if you surrender now your men will receive medical attention and you will be allowed to repent for your actions. Drop your weapons and you will not be harmed..." Joker said into the loud speaker. "Joker what the fuck are you doing!?" Jack's voice came on the com, making sure to cut out the loudspeaker he switched to the channel frequency. "I'm doing what Shepard would do, this doesn't need to end in complete bloodshed those are our people regardless of alien mumbo-jumbo," Joker said. "Big risk there Joker but... that is what Shepard would have wanted." Garrus said, "Let's just hope their agreeable," he commented, they all looked at the Beyonders and one Beyonder put a hand to his ear and they heard crackling as he activated a loud speak of his own. "To all you single bodied creatures, we, The Beyonders, are not to be trifled with nor bargained, there is only one offer to be made you will serve under us or die. You are all imperfect, and weak beings of body and soul while you burn we will live on passing beyond the void. We will be there beyond you, and beyond the laws of time and space! Die!" Suddenly a beeping was heard Joker instantly saw a M-29 Cain charging. "At least you tried... now you guys might want to move the ships back a bit." Garrus said, Jack and the others complied they all put their screens on Garrus and saw him aiming. "Let's see if I can break my current record," Garrus said. He then pulled the trigger, everybody watched as the thermal bullet exited the gun barrel flew through the air and hit the Cain directly on the energy charger that powered the missile this caused a chain reaction which caused the Cain to explode violently causing it to vaporize the remaining Beyonders. Garrus smiling put on the loud speaker, "Its official I am the best damn sniper in the universe and this is my favorite spot on Tuchanka!" Garrus announced. "Garrus... that cruiser is no part of Tuchanka last I checked." Came Wrex's voice, from the road several of Krogan transports. "Details, Wrex, Details," Garrus said switching back to the channel. "Where's Sheaprd?" Wrex asked. "I'm here..." Came Shepards voice from the wreckage Shepard walked back in her armor she was limping slightly as Jacob, Grunt, and Liara came out with Tali and the other Quarian. "Set the Normandy down I got an idea." Shepard said, she continued to limp forward but her step was becoming better as her strength returned. "Good to see you made it Shepard we've had a change in weather, lot of hot air blowing around," Wrex said as he exited the lead vehicle. "I'm sorry, but who was it that made a sniper shot, more than 50 yards away, on a flying cruiser, that caused a massive nuclear explosion this guy right here!" Garrus said looking proud. "Nice shot Garrus but you ain't the best yet, wait till my time to snipe comes up," Shepard said she walked forward behind her Liara came with the two Quarians in stasis. Jack who had come out of her cruiser looked at the bodies around. "Holy shit you seen some of these guys? They're hung like... like an elephant or something!" She said. "Yeah tell me about makes Krogans look miniscule in comparison." Garrus said. "Whatever seems to me that these guys are playing hardball at the moment... though if they wanted to they could probably breed themselves an army... so why haven't they?" Wrex said. "We'll talk about it later we need to get Tali and her friend to the infirmary." Shepard they all nodded as EDI landed the Normandy and they boarded. -In the Normandy Med Bay- "Shepard... it's not looking good..." said the holographic image of Dr. Chakwas, Dr. Chakwas was currently using a newly developed system allowing a human to operate a robot that would produce a holographic image by reading the bio-circuits inside. "They both have been heavily infected and their suits rupturing mechanisms have been destroyed they have an hour at the most." She said. "It's ok I have an idea." Shepard said. "What kind of Idea?" Garrus asked. "I'm gonna do to them what I did to Joker... I'm gonna remove their weak antibodies and replace them with stronger and more effective ones, if I do this right they should be able to live without suits... ever." Shepard said. "Whoa, whoa, you got sick last time and you almost suffered my condition. The Quarians weak immune systems could kill you possibly!" Joker said. "That's a risk I'm willing to take." Shepard said she walked forward to the Quarians who were in stasis pods when she felt a hand grab her arm. "I'm not," Wrex said, "I've approved of your ways for a long time Shepard you're a good person probably the best human being ever to walk the earth but I won't allow you to risk death yet again." "Wrex..." Shepard started when Wrex headbutted her Shepard staggered back clutching her bleeding nose. "Shepard, you do not need to do this you've sacrificed enough as it is, and that was enough once, now you need to stand with us to fight this enemy." Shepard stared at Wrex the others shocked by this sudden hostilities Shepard's body glowed and the nose was back to normal the blood absorbed into her skin. "Wrex I appreciate the concern but... I won't die... not if I have your help. I'm gonna need some of that famous Krogan strength. Tali and her friend are allies we cannot lose we'll need everything to fight the Beyonders." Shepard said. "Trust me as your sister," Shepard said, Wrex stood there for a moment then he closed his red eyes and sighed. "Fine... but if you die I'm gonna make sure that I beat the crap out of you when it's my time." Wrex said. "Ok Wrex that's a deal," Shepard said. "Doctor, open the pods." She said walking to the pods. "Shepard?" Dr. Chakwas hesistated. "Do it Doc. Shepard knows what she's doing..." Joker said, Doctor Chakwas stared at Joker then she nodded and opened the pods. Shepard walked to the two and she sighed. "Ok let's try this..." Shepard said, she closed her eyes and placed her hand on their semi-bare arms a result of the crash no doubt and she concentrated. She tried to remember what she felt for Joker when she did this. She reached into them feeling their body through senses alone her mind seeing the inner workings of the two, she went deeper flooding into them and found what she was looking for. The DNA of the Quarians which due to lack of exposure had degenerated the immune system. But Shepard was going to change that, she grabbed the DNA and bulked it up making the cells and the immune system stronger, hardier, and able to adapt quickly. As she did this she took the bits and pieces that would render this change useless. As she did she felt her body flicker as she weakened but she had done what she needed to do and withdrew herself. "Shepard!" She hear Wrex shout she felt his hand grab hers, she widened her eyes as she felt her hand latch onto him and her senses sank into Wrex. Wrex grunted as Shepard began to absorb him drawing his life force out. She quickly pulled her hand away and the two staggered back. Shepard felt her head hit the pole and she blinked in surprise. The men were looking away while the women crowded Shepard. "Hey you ok? What happened?" Jack asked, Shepard panted the looked at her hands. "I... I don't know I was fading and then..." Shepard closed her eyes then opened them. "Wrex!? You ok?" She asked. "Ugh... yeah but... feel tired for some reason." He said. "Shepard I had been monitoring your situation, and I have a hypothesis though I do not think you will like it..." EDI said. "Go ahead," Shepard said preparing herself. "While you were interacting with the Quarians your vital signs dropped rapidly it is during this time that your body began to fade. Using your powers is affecting your life force the more strenuous tasks cause a massive drop in your power and as such a massive drop in your life signs. Which means..." EDI drifted Shepard already knowing what the missing bit was and filled in. "Which means if I use all of my powers, I'll die... sound about right?" Shepard asked. "Yes... Also when Wrex touched you his vital signs dropped significantly while yours increased rapidly. It seems... you were... absorbing his life force to fortify your own." EDI said. Shepard sat there taking in what she heard. Then she stood up and walked out. "Shepard," Liara called and tried to grab her but Samara grabbed her hand. "Now is not the time," Samara said, "Later... for now she must think this is something that she needs aid later not now." Samara explained. "...Yes you're right... But..." "Heh now she definitely has Krogan blood in her, I'd rather she survive over me," Wrex said. "Wrex," Garrus said. "Shepard has done a lot for little and she has done it with little to no complaints... There is a reason why Shepard means Hero to our people and why she is a sister to Clan Urdnot, she has done what no one would try to do, what they would ignore." Wrex said standing up again, "As far as I'm concerned I'm concerned Shepard is a friend to all beings... good or bad." He said. "Ugh... anybody got something to eat?" Wrex asked. Everybody stood there then laughed as Grunt scratched his plates. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ??? Down the hall Advisor's Uhvansahl, Menzi, and Ukukua walked to the chambers of their ruler. They saw the four guards standing there one of the many Evoguards personally trained by their ruler. The guards stood aside and the door opened. As it did the sound of moaning, slurping, kissing and howling was heard. "Your Majesty, we have... troubling news..." Uhvansahl said. "Go on," Said a distorted voice. "Our forces have come across commander Shepard, heh heh..." Said Menzi his habitual cackle sounding. "And...?" Suddenly a few of the moans turned into choked gasps. "She... she has eliminated the force sent to capture the Quarian Tali'Zorah Nar Rayya the sound of choked gasps and a sickening crunch was heard. "Well... I didn't expect no less... I want you to find out as much as you can about this Shepard... It'd be most irritating if she manages to ruin another one of my plans." There was the sound of footsteps and the advisors saw the shadows of the Beyonders moving away some dripping as they did. "About that your Majesty we seem to have someone who has great information on Shepard that they would like to present to you, heh heh..." Menzi said. "Then what are you doing telling me useless information? Bring the informant, this war is one with knowledge not stupidity," the distorted voice said. "Yes your Majesty," Uhvansahl said, the door closed and the 3 left to get the informant. ------------------------------------------------------------------ More of an action than sex chapter but next chapter makes up for it!
