Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 is a SPARTAN-II commando of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. He became one of the most important heroes of the UNSC during the Human-Covenant war. With nearly 30 years of active duty, he is one of the most decorated war veterans in the United Nations Space Command, and has earned every known medal in the UNSC except the Prisoner of War Medallion.
Born in about 2511, John lived with his mother and father in Elysium city, on the colony world of Eridanus II. He attended the Elysium City Primary Education Facility Number 119. At the age of six, he was identified by Dr. Catherine Halsey as one of 150 preliminary candidates for the SPARTAN-II Program. John was an ideal physical and mental candidate, standing a head taller than the majority of his schoolmates, having greater physical proportions, possessing greater strength, exhibiting superior reflexes, and having an aggressive drive for success. When Dr. Halsey and Lieutenant Jacob Keyes visited Eridanus II in 2517 to study him, they were impressed with his intellect and luck. In a final test of his viability as a candidate, he was asked to determine which side an old coin would land on. He watched the coin as it flew in the air and caught it before it could land, correctly stating which side was face-up, which was the side of the eagle.
John was the first candidate Dr. Halsey and Lieutenant Keyes studied. Later that same year, John and 74 other six-year-old children were "conscripted": they were covertly kidnapped from their homes and replaced with flash clones, all of which would later die of natural causes to cover up the kidnappings. John, along with the other candidates, was taken to the planet of Reach. Dr. Halsey informed them of the SPARTAN-II Program and how they would be "the protectors of Earth and all her colonies." The next morning John discovered his service tag, stitched into his training uniform, and his new name: John-117. John began a new life, training with other Spartans under Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez. For eight years he learned history, military strategy, weapons, and was given physical fitness training. During his training, John quickly proved himself to be one of the program's top candidates. Both Dr. Halsey and Chief Mendez identified him as one of four emerging leaders within the Spartan-II group.
When the Spartans were eight years old, they were sent on a training mission in which they were dropped over a forest located deep in one of Reach's snow-filled mountain ranges and expected to get safely to their extraction Pelican dropship. The children also had instructions to leave the last child arriving behind, or the punishment would be painful; John-117 knew, however, that he could not do that. After telling the Spartans where to meet, the Spartans looked to him as their leader, a role he was initially surprised to be given, but eventually accepted. When the group came upon the Pelican, it was guarded by armed men. Those men were actually UNSC Marines, but were not in uniform, thus leading the Spartans to mistake for a hostile threat. John showed early acumen in critical thinking and tactics, not wishing to take for granted that guards would be friendly toward them. He came up with a plan to take the men down, capture the dropship, and ensure the safe extraction of every team member, as he made sure he was the last person aboard. To do this he ended up hijacking the dropship with the help of Déjà, and beat down the men with stones, causing severe injuries among the Marines. Chief Mendez was not visibly pleased, as John had attacked his Marines and no one had been left behind. But both Mendez and Halsey recognized John's initiative, and promoted him to squad leader. After this, despite other Spartans rising in rank and at least a couple rising to lead their own teams, he remained the de facto leader of the Spartans as a whole.
At the age of fourteen, John underwent the dangerous SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures. These procedures caused 30 of the Spartan trainees to die, and 12 to become physically disabled. John was one of 33 Spartans who made it through the process unscathed, while the rest who could still operate were moved to positions in the Office of Naval Intelligence. At only fourteen years old, it is said that John had a body of an eighteen-year old Olympic athlete; the augmentation process gave the Spartans faster reflexes, greater strength, enhanced eyesight, and made their bones nearly unbreakable. Following their augmentation procedures, John and the other Spartans were transferred to the Atlas in order to recover in a microgravity environment. During his first visit to the Atlas' gym, John was confronted by four ODSTs, whose sergeant then ordered the five of them into the boxing ring. In the ensuing fight, John killed two of the ODSTs, and left the others severely injured, an incident which quickly blossomed into major resentment for the whole SPARTAN program throughout the Marine Corps.

X-Factor Evaluations[]
Master Chief-Commander Shepard
Training
95-90
Edge Master Chief: Both Chief and Shepard have both gone through Special Forces training in their respective militaries. However the reason Chief takes this is because he started his training at the Age of 6 while Shepard started his at the age of 18 and also due to the fact that the training course of the SPARTAN-II Program was a bit more rigorous then the training of the N7.
The SPARTANs endured a great deal of hardship during their first years of training: they were placed into situations and drills that pushed their abilities to their very limit and beyond. Their hard training was complemented with high-level education, which included mathematics, science, physics, reading, writing, and military tactics. Although his training methodology was tough, even brutal in some regards, Chief Petty Officer Mendez always instilled discipline, honor, and respect into the SPARTANs. He taught the SPARTANs how to kill, but at the same time he taught them the difference between right and wrong. Mendez trained the SPARTANs' until 2525 when, at the age of fourteen, they would go through the toughest part of their training: the biological augmentation procedures, which would kill 30 of the 75 conscripted children and cripple 12 others who would "wash out" of the SPARTAN-II program.
physical training, military indoctrination and advanced tactics
Lasted from 2517-2525
Franklin Mendez: He was the Spartan-II's training leader during their first years on Reach in 2517 until 2525. He trained them in the aspects of combat as hard as any Marine when they were only at the age of 6. His military training was punctuated with in-class strategy sessions with Déjà.
In the beginning of their training, Mendez and his training instructors used Electric Batons to discipline trainees. However, his trainers would occasionally use rifles with tranquilizer rounds to incapacitate the trainees who attempted to escape.
Initially, candidates train for more than 20 hours per day, leading small combat teams through hostile terrain with little sleep or food. Trainees who do well are awarded an internal designation of N1 and are invited to return. Subsequent courses - N2 through N6 - are often held off-planet and include instruction in zero-G combat, military free-fall (parachuting), jetpack flight, combat diving, combat instruction, linguistics, and frontline trauma care for human and alien biology.
The highest grade of training, N6, provides actual combat experience in combat zones throughout the galaxy. If the trainee survives these scenarios in "admirable and effective fashion," he or she finally receives the coveted N7 designation. N7 is the only ICT designation that may be worn on field or dress uniforms.
There is little shame in failing an N course - the training is so extreme that even qualifying for N1 elevates an officer to a position of respect. The universal prestige of merely attending the academy helps to restrain trainees from taking excessive risks in pursuit of higher honors.Combat Experience
97-97
Edge Even: This one both of these soldiers are DEAD even. Chief technically does have more years of experience to Shepard as Chief fought in the Human-Covenant War from Beginning to End which was for 30 Years fighting against the Insurrection and then fighting against the Covenant fighting against the many different Alien species that made up the Covenant such as the Sangheili (Elites), Jiralhanae (Brutes), Mgalekgolo (Hunters), Yanme'e (Drones), Kig-Yar (Jackals), and the Unggoy (Grunts) and then fighting against the Parasitic aliens known as the Flood. And then later on fighting against the Didact and his army of Prometheans as well as Storm Covenant. Shepard however brings it up to a tie as he has also faced a large variety of foes as well ranging from the Rogue Spectre Saren and his army of Geth also going up against a Asari Matriarch and her Asari Commandos and going up against Krogans as well. He then later fought against the Collectors along the way fighting Batarians, Turians, Salarians, Asari, Krogan and any species of the Gangs such as the Blue Suns, Eclipse, and Blood Packs and now fights against the Pro-Human Organization Cerberus and the Genocidal Sentinet Race the Reapers. In all both soldiers have gone up a LARGE variety of foes all powerful in their own ways.
Armor
85-83
Edge Master Chief: Both Chief and Shepard have good armor that come with shields with Chief's armor having the Energy Shield and Shepard's with the Kinetic Barrier. Both of their armor's shields are also quick on recharging when their damaged meaning that they could get back into battle with fully recharged shields to protect them once again. However what get's it for the Chief here is that his armor multiples on his already enchanced physical capabilites making him even more faster, stronger etc...
Physicality
100-85
Edge Master Chief: Let's face it Chief has augmentations that has made him stronger and faster then a regular human since he is a SPARTAN-II Supersoldier. He is able to lift three times his own weight and capable of running at speeds exceeding 55 km/h or 34.2 mph. And to put it all off even better he even has Superhuman Reflexes which from a regular human's point of view is increased by 300% which his reaction time is estimated to be twenty milliseconds. And all of this increases due to his armor multiplying his physical capabilities even more. Shepard is just a normal human mind his biotics but they don't increase his speed or stregth in any way.
Determination
100-100
Edge Even: Both Chief and Shepard show high determination during their missions. They are both determined to protect all they care for including their friends, and loved ones and would even sacrifice their own lives if it meant protecting them.
Psychological Health
90-90
Edge Even: Both men have saw and witnessed death of close friends in their careers. Chief has witnessed some of his SPARTAN-II friends die in combat and both Jacob Keyes and his daughter Miranda be killed and Sgt. Johnson be killed by 343 Guilty Spark and most recently his closest friend ever Cortana die as well after all they've been through. Shepard has had to watch as many of his friends die as well such as Kaiden Alenko on Virmire and then Mordin to cure the Genophage, Thane to save the Salarian Councilor from Kai Leng and Legion so that his his "people" the Geth could live in harmony with their creators the Quarian all die as well sacrificing their lives for the greater good.
The Final Battle[]
Prologue[]
(Narrated by Shepard)
Last time on Heroes UNITE!
(Narration Ends)
"What's your name?" Shepard asks
"I'm the Doctor..."
"Oh and it seems you have already gathered your first group of heroes too nice." The Doctor says looking at Luke Skywalker, Leia, Han and Chewbacca.
"Hold on that little box over there can what?" Tali asks
"Travel across all of space and time..."The Doctor says
"It's the Reapers Shepard. Minerva told you how they were trying to unlock the ability to travel across the Multiverse to bring their harvesting to the other Universes. Well they succeeded." The Doctor says bringing up a screen and showing the group as Reaper forces in their galaxy begin to open up portals in front of them and fly through them heading to other alternate universes.
"It's begun." The Doctor says
"Soon the entire Multiverse will begin to feel what your universe will go through Commander. Which is why I'm here to help." The Doctor says
"Wait a minute...I've seen some of these people...are these..."
"That's right Commander...before all of you are the heroes who protect their respective universes from the forces of all that is evil. Each of them are unique in their own ways...some have powers and some don't but they all share the same thing and that's protecting all that is good." The Doctor says
"The Reapers are powerful Shepard and you know that. By themselves many of these heroes won't be able to defeat the Reapers and may even die...but if you can unite all of them together including their armies and bring them back here to your universe where the main bulk of the Reaper forces are and you can use the Crucible and defeat the main bulk of the Reaper Forces including Harbinger then the rest of the Reapers throughout the Multiverse will become loss...confused without their main leader. And all will be won." The Doctor says
"...We'll do anything to defeat the Reapers and bring peace to the future of not just our galaxy but the future of the Multiverse itself." Shepard says
"Great we'll be leaving soon so I suggest getting all the gear you need ready..."
"So Doctor where are we going exactly?" Shepard asks
"The first heroes we are about to get...well let's just say that in this universe they are the only two heroes...and one of them...is going to be of great help in rescuing and recruiting the other heroes." The Doctor says as he stares at his screen which shows the image of the man in bulky green armor and the humanoid lizard that Shepard stared at before.
Meanwhile in an Alternate Universe...
Down on the Planet Earth...
In a building with the words UNSC on it...
A man wearing a large bulky green suit of armor with a gold tinted plate visor stares out the windows of the building into the sky as the alarms sound all around him.
...
In the Alternate Universe...
The Space battle above the Earth rages on...The UNSC and Separatist Covenant Fleet continue to fire all their weapons at this unknown enemy who has appeared out of nowhere. The Reapers meanwhile continue to take out many UNSC and Separatist Covenant ships loosing not many of their own as fighters from both sides fly about trying to take each other out.
"This is Eagle 6 anyone want to explain to me who or what the fuck these things are!"
"They came out of nowhere and they have some serious tech that's all I got to say!" Eagle 3 says
"Doesn't matter just give them everything you got!" Eagle leader says
All around UNSC Longswords, Broadswords, and Separatist Covenant Seraph's engage the fighters of the Reapers while the UNSC and Separatist Covenant Capital Ships along with the help of the Orbital Defense Platforms engage the capital ships of the Reapers. One Longsword continues to fly after a Reaper fighter firing its autocannon at the fighter as it flies under a UNSC Frigate. The pilot then locks onto the fire and fires its missiles and knocks the fighter out of the sky.
On the UNSC Infinity...
"Captain Lasky sir! We just lost the Yorkshire!"
"Keep firing all weapons don't stop until every single one of these metallic squids are out of the skies!" Captain Thomas Lasky yells
Lasky stares out of the bridge as the Space Battle wages on. He stares at the UNSC Charon Class Light Frigate Foxtrot as one of the strange metallic squids powers up its weapon and fires at the ship firing its beam across the ship and destroying it as it explodes.
"My God..." Lasky says in terror at the sight of these things weapons powers.
Meanwhile a group of five Reaper fighters form up and fly towards a Separatist Covenant ship and begin a strafing run from the top firing their weapons as inside the ship Sangheili, Kig-Yar, Mgalekgolo, Yanme'e, and Unggoy run about to get to their stations as the fighters begin their attack on the ship causing some parts inside to explode taking out any Covenant near the explosions.
"Damage report!" The Shipmaster yells
"Fires have broken out in sectors 9 and 2 sir we have our men on it now," One of the Elites say
Back on the Infinity...
"Just what the hell are these things!"
"Who knows man but I've been at this shit longer then you have and I can tell you this those aren't Storm Covenant that's for damm sure!"
"Well no shit since when did the Storm Covenant have shit like this!"
"Keep it together you two and focus on the battle!" Lasky says to the two crewmen.
"Man I wonder how things are going on the ground?" Lasky asks himself.
...
Down on the Earth...
Location: New Mombasa...
Three Longswords fly in formation as they fly towards New Mombasa as smoke pillars rise up into the air. The city has become a warzone with buildings destroyed, fires all around and rubble lay about the streets.
"GET TO COVER!" A UNSC Marine yells as he along with Marines, Elites, Jackals, and Grunts, move forward and begin opening fire on the strange creatures before them.
The Husks return fire at the UNSC and Separatist Covenant forces as they get into cover and fire at them. A Marine armed with a MA5D fires his gun and manages to take out a Cannibal which falls down dead. The UNSC and Separatist Covenant forces continue to fire their weapons at the Husks managing to take out many of them in the thick of battle loosing some of their own troops. One Marine reloads his Battle Rifle and pops out of cover firing his gun taking out a Husk which charges forward and takes aim but is killed when a Marauder fires its gun hitting him in the head as his dead body flinches back from the impact of the shot.
A Warthog drives up behind the group as a Marine begins laying down fire on the Husks with the Chaingun cutting down many Husks.
"INCOMING!!" One Marine yells as a Harvester flies out from around the corner of the building and flies towards them.
The Gunner takes aim and begins firing the Chaingun at the Harvester hitting it many times but to no avail as the Harvester fires its gun at the Warthog.
"OH SHIT!" The Marine Gunner yells as he jumps off the back of the Warthog as the shot impacts destroying the Warthog and killing the driver who couldn't get out in time and causing the Warthog to backflip as the Marine turns around in time to see the Warthog and rolls out of the way as it crashes back onto the ground.
A Marine runs up to the Gunner "You alright you alright!"
"Yeah!"
"Come on then grab your weapon and--"
The Marine is not able to finish his sentence as he is hit by a shot from a Cannibal.
"Fuck! MEDIC!!! MEDIC!!" The Marine yells as he grabs the Marine and drags him into cover.
Just then five objects hit the ground near the Husks position and reveal themselves to be more Husks.
"Enemy reinforcements!" One of the Marines yell
"This is Bravo Company does anyone read! We are need of support repeat we need support!" A Marine yells into his comm.
"I can't raise anyone Sarge!"
"Then keep trying!" The Marine Sergeant says as he fires his MA5D taking out two Husks.
"I say again this is Bravo Company we are in need of support! Repeat in need of (just then he hears something land to his right and looks to see a...)GRENADE!!!" The Marine yells as he dives on top of the grenade to save his fellow marines and allies.
The grenade detonates killing the Marine who's body flies into the air a few inches before landing back down.
"Jackson!" One of the marines yell
"You son's a bitches!" Another Marine yells popping out of cover with his DMR and firing the gun at the Husks.
The Marines along with their Covenant allies continue to fire their weapons at the Reaper forces as bullets, high-velocity rounds, and plasma travel through the air. A Marine and Sangheili pull out their respective grenades looking at each other and nod before priming their grenades and tossing them at the enemy forces as the Plasma Grenade gets stuck to a Marauder and the grenade lands near a group of Cannibals. The two grenades go off taking out small groups of the Husks.
Justs then another object impacts the ground behind the Husks as the Marine and Covenant forces wait to see what's next. A large screech pierces the air as from out of the smoke appears a tall creature and two large ones with legs that resemble spider legs.
"What the fuck are those things..." The Sergeant says to himself
...
The two Ravagers open fire on the Marine and Covenant forces with their twin artillery cannons with some shots impacting near them and taking out some Marines and Covenant soldiers. Two marines hiding behind a destroyed vehicle fire their weapons at the Ravagers but hitting the sacks which explode and then release small groups of Swarmer's which scurry towards the group. One of the Ravagers takes aim at the two marines and fires its cannons which impact the ground to their side sending them flying into the wall of the buidling hitting the wall and falling back down to the ground. Two Elites fire their Carbines at the Ravager and manage to take one of them out when the second Ravager turns its attention on the two Elites and fires with the shots hitting the ground in front of the Elites sending them flying backwards. The Banshee let's out another bloodcurdling screech when it begins teleporting towards the Marines and Covenant who try to get a fix on her. All of a sudden The Banshee appears in front of an Elite scaring some of the other soldiers who back up when the Banshee picks up the Elite with its left hand and then drives its right hand through the stomach of the Elite impaling him and then tossing him aside.
"Take it down! Take it down!"
The Marines and Covenant begin immediately firing their weapons on the Banshee who casts a Biotic Barrier with the Barrier taking most of the shots.
"Weapons aren't working!"
The Banshee then casts a Biotic Nova which sends the Marines and Covenant in front of her flying back from the blast.
...
The tide turns in favor of the Husks as they charge forward towards what's left of the soldiers as they try their best to fight back. One Marine begins backing up firing his shotgun at Husks when he finds himself out of ammo and tries to go for his pistol but is pounced on by a Husk which begins to viciously cut him open with its claws as the Marine yells in pain.
"Pull back! Pull back!"
The Banshee raises its arms in the air and brings it down cutting straight down the Jackal in front of her killing him. A Cannibal tosses a grenade which lands next to and kills a Marine and two Grunts as they try to retreat. The Swarmer's from the Ravagers begin crawling all over a Marine and Elite as they yell in horror trying to get the swarmer's off them. A Harvester flies into the area and fires down on the ground troops taking out five Marines with a shot from its cannons.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Various Marines and Elites yell as the UNSC and Covenant forces begin to get pushed back.
The Sergeant picks up a SAW from one of his dead men and begins firing it into the crowd of Husks in an attempt to give covering fire for his men as they retreat. The Sergeant turns to his right but too late to see the Banshee as it picks him up from the ground and brings him face to face with it. The Sergeant struggles to escape but then finally relents.
"Go ahead you ugly ass piece of shit...do your worse."
The Banshee is about to impale the Marine Sergeant when all of a sudden a knife is thrown into the Banshee's brain. The Banshee drops the Marine to the ground and then falls down dead with the knife still sticking in its head.
"What the?"
All of a sudden someone walks past him and takes the knife out of the dead Banshee's skull. The figure turns around.
"You okay soldier?"
"Y--Yes sir." the Marine says as the figure helps him up.
The Marine looks at the figure and then realizes who it is.
"No way...your...the Master Chief."
...
Master Chief nods his head as he then looks at the group of Husks before him as they move towards him.
Nearby a Elite who is holding back a Husk using his gun is saved when a Energy Sword is drived through the Husks head. The Husk falls down dead as the Marine looks up to see the Arbiter Thel Vadam standing over him.
"Are you okay soldier?" Thel asks
"Yes Arbiter." the Elite says as he stands back up with his weapon in hand.
All of a sudden UNSC and Covenant reinforcements arrive as two Scorpions along with two Warthogs arrive along with more troops as the two Warthogs Chaingun gunners open fire on the Reaper forces with the Marines and Covenant forces also firing their weapons as the Husks are cut down. The Scorpion tanks begin firing their main guns taking out large groups of husks along with the assistance of the Hunters. Meanwhile the Drones fly past the group and begin buzzing around and firing their weapons on the Harvester which cannot get a fix on them.
Master Chief puts away his Combat Knife and pulls out his MA5D as he charges forward and fires his Assault Rifle at the Husks. Chief takes out two Cannibals and then gets behind some rubble for cover as he continues to fire his weapon at the Husks. All of a sudden Chief picks up movement on his right in the form of three dots on his motion sensor. Chief looks to his right to see a wall in between him and whatever he is picking up on his motion sensor. His reaction kicks in and he jumps backwards as three Brutes charge through the wall. Chief lands back a few feet away from the three Brutes who roar at him. Chief responds by pointing his assault rifle at the lead Brute and firing his entire clip into the Brute to no affect but pissing it off. The Brute charges at him to which Chief rolls to his left to dodge the charge but looks up just in time to see the second Brute lift its claws into the air to which Chief quickly jumps back from as they impact into the ground.
The Arbiter firing his Plasma Pistol looks to see Chief as he dodges the attacks from the three Brutes and quickly orders two of his Hunters to go assist him.
...
Chief rolls backwards with his right fist in the ground and kneeling on the ground as he gets ready for anything. The three brutes stand in front of him as they prepare to attack. All of a sudden Chief gets help as two of the Brutes are attacked by two Hunters which bash them in the face with their shields. This gives Chief the opportunity to deal with a single brute as the brute tries to hit him with a sweep from the left to which Chief jumps up into the air forward and lands behind the Brute.
"Spartan!" Thel yells catching the Chief's attention as he tosses him a plasma grenade.
Chief gets the idea and jumps onto the back of the Brute and primes the plasma grenade and sticks it onto the brute and then jumps off the brutes back. The Brute turns around and is about to charge at Chief when the grenade goes off and blows its back off killing it.
The Hunters deal with the last two Brutes as the Drones finish off the Harvester and the rest of the Husks are killed.
"Area cleared!" One of the Marines yell
Chief scans the area to see no more of the unknown enemies forces in sight.
Chief then walks towards the Sergeant he saved earlier.
"Sergeant Calahan sir Bravo Company. 2nd Division." Callahan says saluting the Chief.
"At ease Sergeant." Chief says
"What are you and your men doing here?" Chief asks
"We were searching the area for civilians. We received word that the entire area hadn't been fully evacuated yet and so we got orders to clear this area and search for survivors."
"And the Covenant?" Chief asks
"We picked them up along the way. Got lost in all the confusion. Separated from their platoon."
"Chief...do you have any idea what the hell is going on? What the hell are these things?"
"I don't kow Sgt. No one seems to know who or what these things are. But whatever they are their here with the intention to kill all of us." Chief says
"But sir...their tech, their...I don't know what to make of it. And the way everything went to shit...These guys and those ships of their's come out of nowhere in some portal or something that's not slipspace and in just five hours the whole world goes to hell."
Whatever these things are they can be killed and that means defeated. So we continue fighting until their's none left...Now then we'll help you search for the survivors. Now that the area's clear..."
"Chief you read me?" A Female voice says over his comm.
Chief puts his two right fingers to his helmet. "I read you Palmer what's happening?"
"Well...I don't know how to say it...you better come to our position. We're just a couple clicks west of your position." Sarah Palmer says
"I'll be on my way." Chief says
Chief walks past the Sergeant and walks to the Arbiter who is talking to some of his Elites. The Elites then walk away as Arbiter finishes talking to them and turns around.
"Spartan we have transport ships en route. If we do find any survivors the ships will be ready to carry them and our wounded out." Thel says
"That's good news...Arbiter it seems that Commander Palmer found something and needs me. Do you think you can handle the search parties?" Chief asks
"I will do my best Spartan." Thel says
"I'll be back as soon as I can." Chief says as he runs off in the direction of Palmer's coordinates.
...
"Five hours....fiver hours was all it took for the entire world to go to shit" Chief thought to himself.
It had been 7 months since the events on Requiem...7 months after Chief defeated the Didact....7 months since Chief...lost her.
(flashback)
"Don't make a girl a promise... If you know you can't keep it..."
...
"It was my job to take care of you."
"We were supposed to take care of each other."
(flashback ends)
The past seven months have been hard on Chief...failing his mission to save Cortana...but he knew that no matter what he did there was now no way of bringing her back. Halsey was missing and he still had his job to do helping the UNSC and Separatist Covenant battle against the Storm Covenant.
The past seven months also saw many changes in the galaxy. Much of the Sangheili race began to accept Humanity as allies and while there were some who joined with the Storm Covenant there were not many Sangheili ever seen with the Storm Covenant. The UNSC and Sangheili were able to broker piece treaties with many of the other races of the former Covenant...all but the Jiralhanae thus far. The galaxy was thriving again. The races were at peace with one another and their militaries working side by side against the Storm Covenant. The races even began trading technology, and many other things between each other now and there were even colonies where all the races were living in peaceful harmony amongst one another. The same thing was happening even on the homeworlds such as Earth where once it was just humans but now there were Sangheilies and other races walking amongst one another. It had taken Chief some time to get use to things since he was gone for four years but he was use to it.
Today was just suppose to be an ordinary day as always...but that all changed when the space fleet orbiting Earth sent word that unknown contacts appeared out of nowhere and began shooting without any warning. In the first 30 minutes it was just a space battle as strange metallic squids came out through some sort of portal that wasn't a Slipspace portal and not only headed towards the Earth but also out into the Galaxy most likely heading towards other planets to do the same thing...attack them. Next thing happens the enemy somehow establishes their ground forces on the ground and in just five hours the whole worlds in chaos.
Chief didn't know what to think of this. These weren't Storm Covenant, not Prometheans and no one not even the Covenant knew what these things were. And to make things even stranger was the technology they possessed was something that not even the Covenant possessed.
...
For 45 minutes Chief ran through the ruined streets of New Mombasa finally arriving at Palmer's location inside a office building.
...
Commander Sarah Palmer a SPARTAN-IV takes off her helmet as Chief approaches her behind her the SPARTAN-IV Fireteams Majestic and Crimson.
"Chief." Palmer says
"Palmer." Chief says
"Take a look for yourself." Palmer says stepping to the side as Chief then sees a strange white and black armored clad man with a strange weapon of some kind against the wall with blood trailing down the wall. Chief then looks around to see more dead bodies of the strange armored clad men some of them looking different from one another.
"What happened and what are these?" Chief asks
"We were clearing this building out for hostiles and any civies. Searched the entire building found nothing. Come back down here to the bottom floor these guys jumped us out of nowhere and so we fought back and well you can see the results." Palmer says
"They don't look like any of those creatures outside in fact the armor almost looks like it was built for humans." Chief says
"This is the frightening part right here actually...(walks over to the dead armored man) check this out." Palmer says as she then opens up the soldiers helmet.
Chief looks and becomes horrified as he sees...a human...but the face almost resembling that of one of the creatures.
"What the hell." Chief says
"Yeah no idea what to think now. These are humans but...not anymore." Palmer says
"Not only that but their weapons and armor are shit that we don't have." SPARTAN-IV Thorne of Majestic Team says
"Anything else you can tell me?" Chief asks
"Nothing else just that." Palmer says
"If you ask this is just a little to odd don't ya think?" Madsen says
"What do you mean?" Chief asks
"First these ugly guys and those gigantic squids appear out of nowhere and just randomly attack us. Next thing you know now these guys are attacking us and also came out of nowhere...anyone else here confused on what the hecks's going on? Cause I sure am." Madsen says
"No kidding this day just keeps on getting weirder and weirder by the minute." Hoya says
All of a sudden a beeping sound comes from the dead man as a strange orange hologram of somekind appears on his left arm.
"I didn't do anything." Madsen says
"What the hell is that?" Demarco says
The Spartans continue to stare at the strange hologram as it continues flashing.
"Thorne you touch it." Madsen says
"Uh-Uh last time I touched some strange thing I got sent from a ship to a planet. The last thing I want is the opposite thing getting sent from here onto one of those ships up there." Thorne says
"I'll do it." Grant says as she walks to it and presses the flashing light.
All of a sudden a voice comes out from it. "Zeta Squad report in."
The Spartans stare at the thing in confusion.
"Uhh I think that things some kind of communicator." Madsen says
"Zeta Squad report!"
Thorne quickly acts "This is uhhh Zeta Squad we read you loud and clear over."
"Have you found the one known as the Master Chief?" the voice says stunning the Spartans who hear it.
"Uhh negative on that we have not made contact with him...Uhh what...what are suppose to do again with him?" Thorne asks
Palmer slaps her face at what Thorne just did...but to her amazement.
"Your orders are to find the one known as Master Chief and either kill him or subdue him. The Illusive Man wants to speak to him and see if he can turn him against Commander Shepard."
"Oh right yeah um well anyways no we haven't seen him." Thorne says
"Things seem to be getting busy out there. I want you to return to the UNSC Headquarters. We'll send a fake transmission out and lure the Hero here. We'll have to deal with the one known as Arbiter later. First this Master Chief." the voice says as the communication ends.
"Uhhh did that make any sense to anyone?" Madsen says
"Whoever these guys are it seems they want you Chief and the Arbiter for some reason." Demarco says
"No wonder we haven't been able to get in contact with the base." Palmer says
"I'd best go and see what's going on." Chief says
"Wait what? Chief didn't you hear them. They're after you...whoever they are." Palmer says
"It also seems that their after The Arbiter. I want you and your team to head to where he is and give him a warning as well as some support. I'll head to the HQ and see if there are any survivors there and also deal with these guys and also try and get some answers out of them." Chief says
"You don't want me to send Majestic or Crimson with you?" Palmer asks
"No thanks. I'll move faster by myself." Chief says as he then heads off.
"Are you sure we shouldn't go help him?" Madsen says as Chief exits the building.
"Madsen you do know who you're talking about right? I'm sure that whatever is thrown at him Chief will deal with it. He always does." Demarco says
...
Former ONI Alpha Site...
Current Designation: UNSC Headquarters of New Mombasa...
Chief carefully crosses the bridge as he heads to the UNSC Headquarters. Arriving at the entrace to the site he carefully checks the area to see no signs of enemy forces. Chief carefully begins making his way towards the building which had been changed since it's destruction during the Battle of Earth during the Human-Covenant War. The building had been rebuilt into a large twelve story building and had been made into a UNSC Headquarters just in case of another attack due to the cities location had the Storm Covenant ever decided to attack New Mombasa.
Chief walks through the deserted plaza of the site as the sounds of the battle echo from the all around as the battle between the UNSC and Separatist Covenant against the Unknown Enemy raged on as explosions sounded throughout the quiet area Chief was in. Chief soon finds himself at the entrance of the building and carefully enters with his Assault Rifle at the ready as he steadily enters.
...
Meanwhile on the Top Floor of the building...
Two Cerberus Assault Troopers check through some crates labeled UNSC as they look at the weapons.
"This is how far Humanity has gotten in this universe? Huh pathetic."
"Yeah well whoever this Master Chief fella is. He's sure got the full attention of the Illusive Man."
"What the...you hear that?"
"Yeah what is that?"
All of a sudden a blue box appears before the two Cerberus soldiers confusing them as they point their weapons at it.
"Check it out!"
The Cerberus soldier on the left slowly moves forward still keeping his Hornet pointed at the strange blue box. As he gets right next to it all of a sudden one side of the door opens up as a man with brown spiked up hair, wearing a blue suit with red pinstripes pokes his head out of the entrance.
...
The Doctor pokes his head out of the door to see if he arrived at the right spot when all of a sudden.
"Don't Move!"
The Doctor looks to his right to see a Cerberus Soldier pointing his gun at him.
"Oh my...that's the second time I've gotten a gun pointed at my face." The Doctor says
"Who are you!" The Cerberus soldier yells
"Uhh sorry I uh must of arrived at a wrong time I'll just be leaving now." The Doctor says as he quickly pulls his head back into the TARDIS.
"Hey stop!" The Cerberus soldier yells as he is about to head into the TARDIS when all of a sudden he is punched right in the face and falls down backwards to revealing the attacker to be Commander Shepard.
"What the!" The other Cerberus soldier says as he is about to fire his gun when all of a sudden Shepard ducks down to reveal Garrus aiming his Mantis Sniper Rifle and fires the shot killing the other Cerberus soldier before he can pull the trigger.
...
Shepard opens the other side of the door as he along with the rest of his team walk out with their weapons at the ready followed by The Doctor.
"Doctor you neglected to mention anything about Cerberus." Shepard says
"I'm just as surprised as you are Shepard Cerberus doesn't exist in this Universe. Something's not right something's not quite right how did Cerberus get into this Universe the Reapers yes but Cerberus no...no something's quite wrong here." The Doctor says
The downed Cerberus soldier groans as he begins to recover from the hit.
"Looks like sleeping beauty here is waking up." James says
"Hold we'll question him for some information first. We need to find out how and why Cerberus is here." Shepard says
The Cerberus soldier gets up and turns around to find a Predator pistol pointed at him causing him to raise his hands up in the air.
"Alright you better answer my questions otherwise you'll end up like your friend over there." Shepard says
The Cerberus soldier at first says nothing when..."THIS IS DELTA..."
The Doctor quickly pulls something out of his blue suit's pocket and points it at the Cerberus soldier and pushes a button as a strange sound emits from the device. Just like that the Cerberus soldier finds his communicator not functioning.
"What was that?" Shepard asks looking at the Doctor as he holds up a strange device in his hand.
"Oh right forgot to mention it too ya. This here is my Sonic Screwdriver all I did was disable that fellas Communicator so he couldn't get that message out and all." The Doctor says
"That thing a weapon?" Garrus asks
"This little thing Oh no no no no no I don't like weapons I reeeeally dislike weapons and killing not my style." The Doctor says
"What's that Sonic Scredriver do then?" Liara asks
"Oh it can do a lot of things so many that we don't have a lot of time to say what it can do. But it's the best tool of a Time Lord and the only thing it can't do is work on stuff that is made of wood and that's about it." The Doctor says
"This Sonic Screwdriver tool of yours sounds quite amazing Doctor." EDI says
"Yes thank you for the compliment so yeah you can get back to what you were doing Shepard." The Doctor says
"Thanks." Shepard says as he turns his attention back to the Cerberus soldier
"Now then where were we oh yeah. So how did Cerberus get here?" Shepard asks
"Go to hell!" the Cerberus soldier says
"Not the answer I was looking for." Shepard says as he motions to Garrus who walks up to the Cerberus soldier and using the butt end of his gun hits him in the stomach as the Cerberus soldier let's out a gasp of air.
"Try again." Shepard says
"Uhhhh (coughs)"
"You'd better talk my friend here was a former C-Sec Officer and I'm pretty sure that he'd have worse ways of getting information out of you." Shepard says as Garrus cracks his knuckles.
"Alright alright! The Reapers spoke to us through one of our men who had become indoctrinated. When the Illusive Man warned the Reapers about the Citadel the Reapers no longer attacked us since we helped them. When the Reapers had learned about the awakening of the lady known as Minerva from the First Civilization they had already known about the plans she had set in motion. That plan that involved uniting all the Heroes and Armies of the entire Multiverse and everything and asked the Illusive Man for help. You may think that by destroying our main base that you defeated us. But we have more bases then that and as long as the Illusive Man lives we will all serve him. The Reapers asked us to help them in dealing with the Heroes while they dealt with the armies. The Reapers gave us the technology we needed to build a couple of teleporters to send us throughout the Multiverse to deal with the Heroes. So while the Reapers attack the other Universes and deal with the armies we deal with the Heroes." The Cerberus soldier says
Hearing this stuns Shepard and the others at what they just heard.
"Cerberus and the Reapers are actually working together?" Shepard says
"Yeah after all we both share a common enemy...you." the Cerberus soldier says
The Cerberus soldier then without warning attacks Garrus trying to grab the sniper rifle causing Shepard to have no choice but shoot the Cerberus soldier shooting him in the head killing him as his body falls to the ground.
"Great as if things weren't bad enough now we have Cerberus AND the Reapers working together and trying to kill the Heroes and Armies we need if we have any chance of winning this war." Ashley says
Tali then looks away and notices something and walks over to a nearby window and stares out into the city "Shepard." Tali says getting the others attention as they head over to the window and look out to see the city as smoke pillars rise into the air and explosions go off around and over the city.
"The Reapers..." Shepard says
"We better hurry and find the heroes." The Doctor says as he all of a sudden runs back to the TARDIS.
"Doctor?" Shepard says
"Yep just hold on for a moment! Let's see uh oh! No wait not this ummm oh here it is." THe Doctor's voice is heard from inside the TARDIS.
The Doctor then comes out holding a small handheld device in his hand.
"Here we go!" the Doctor says
Shepard and his team soon join up with him walking away from the windows.
"And that would be?" James says
"Why this here is the Hero tracker! Built myself on the way to your ship and well yeah. Knew we were going to be looking for heroes and whatnot and so made this thing here which can track any and all heroes in any and all universes." The Doctor says
"Really? And has it been...tested?" Shepard asks
The Doctor then looks at the device again and back up at the group.
"Well...No not exactly I haven't exactly been looking for heroes before and all and like I said I just built this." The Doctor says
"Buuttt according to this one of our Heroes are actually in this building." The Doctor says
"You said that there was two though right?" Ashley asks
"Yeah and according to this...oh my that's a long way from here. Yeah he's nowhere near us but he is in the city." The Doctor says
Shepard and the others then stare out at the city as the sounds of battle echo through a broken window.
"The other ones...somewhere out there?" Garrus asks
"Yep." The Doctor says
"Alright then we'll just have to split up then for this. Doctor can you use your TARDIS to land near that other Heroes position?" Shepard asks
"Yeah no problem I can do that." The Doctor says
"Alright then here's the plan then I'll look for the hero in this building by myself. Cerberus might still be in this building and this hero is going to be needing help. I want the rest of you to go with the Doctor and find the second hero in the city." Shepard says
"Wait Shepard you staying here by yourself?" Ashley asks
"Things are a lot more worse in the city. I need all of you together to save that hero. Thing's aren't as bad in here I can handle a couple of Cerberus soldiers." Shepard says
"You sure Loco?" James asks
"Yeah I'm sure." Shepard says
"Well if that's the case hold on for just a moment!" The Doctor says as he runs back into the TARDIS.
...
The Doctor comes out a minute later holding a metallic briefcase and holds his hands out to Shepard who looks at it confused.
"What's with that?" Shepard asks
"Just in case." The Doctor says opening the case to reveal to Shepard some guns that are recognizable to him such as the M-15 Vindicator, M-76 Revenant, M-100 Grenade Launcher and a couple of Inferno Grenades.
"Wait I thought you weren't a man for weapons?" Shepard says
"Well I got these from the stuff you packed up and placed it in this briefcace so you could carry these around along with the rest of your weapons." The Doctor says
"Why would I need these extra guns exactly Doctor?" Shepard asks
"While none of these heroes know about me I know a lot about them. After all I did know about you and all your friends and I do have a machine that can travel across space and time meaning that I know pretty much any and all things throughout the entire multiverse. And if this hero is who I think it is and the timeline is correct and since he might think you are with these fellas since well the weapons and armor most likely...trust me when I say that you are going to be needing these. At the most try to take him down but don't kill him. Trust me this hero is going to be of great help to us as we recruit the rest of the heroes and armies." The Doctor says as he closes the briefcase.
Shepard looks at the case again and then finally grabs it as he places it on the middle of his back.
"Be careful and take care of my team Doctor." Shepard says
"Same goes for you Shepard be careful." The Doctor says
"Wait how will I know who to look for?" Shepard asks
"Oh yeah that's right uh hold out your Omni-Tool would ya?" The Doctor asks
Shepard activates and holds out his Omni-Tool as the Doctor takes out his Sonic Scredriver and activates it pointing it over the Omni-Tool.
"There ya go when you see the hero this thing is going to start lighting up." The Doctor says as he puts away his Sonic Screwdriver and heads back to the TARDIS.
"Be careful all of you." Shepard says to his team
"You too Shepard." Ashley says as the team heads into the TARDIS after the Doctor as James closes the door.
The TARDIS begins making its sound
And then disappears.
"All right then...let's do this." Shepard says as he pulls out his M-8 Avenger should he encounter any Cerberus soldiers and then heads off.
...
Meanwhile on the 3rd Floor of the building...
A squad of Cerberus soldiers stand about with two of them sitting on some chairs and another one sitting on a table.
"I don't like it haven't heard anything from Alpha or Delta Squads on the 2nd floor." The Cerberus Centurion says
"Relax sir it seems that something messed up the communications engineers are working on the problem right now." One of the soldiers say
All of a sudden the sound of the elevator moving is heard as the squad looks at the door.
"What the hell?"
"Ah it's probably one of the squads coming up here to show that their okay or report something."
The elevator door opens up but shows no one on there.
"What in the world?" One of the Assault Troopers say causing the ones sitting down to stand up as the squad gathers close to each other and looks at the empty elevator. Just then something rolls out of the elevator towards the squad as they look down to see what it is and see a small green ball.
"Is that a..."
"Grenade!" the Centurion yells as he dives backwards just as the grenade goes off blowing away the Assault Troopers and killing them.
Chief comes out from the side of the elevator and charges forward as the Centurion gets back up and sees him coming.
"Oh shit!" The Centurion says as he tries to pull out his gun but has no time to react as Chief pulls up his M6H pistol and fires a shot which travels right through the head of the Centurion killing him.
Chief stops in his tracks and looks around at his handiwork. Chief wasn't liking at what he had encountered so far. Whoever these guys were had mercilessly killed all the UNSC personnel in the building both combatants and non-combatants alike. He had so far encountered no survivors and had taken care of the two squads on the 2nd floor and decided to work his way all the way up the building to try and secure it planning on leaving some of these men alive so he can find out who they were and why they were looking for him and the Arbiter.
"I heard an explosion and gunshot down this way!" A voice calls out as Chief looks up hearing the voice come from the hallway to left.
Chief quickly acts and notices a opened ventilation shaft above him meaning that these men were thorough in their search searching the air ducts for survivors even. Chief jumps upwards and quietly crawls in and stares out through the opening. Soon a group of 15 Cerberus soldiers arrive on the scene as they have their weapons at the ready and scan the area,
"What the hell happened here?" A Assault Trooper says
"Looks like we got an unwelcomed guest." Another Trooper says
"Great and if things weren't already bad with the comms off!" Another Trooper says
"Quiet everyone and search around I want the bastard who did this dead." The Centurion says
As the Cerberus soldiers begin searching the area one of them stands right under the open ventilation giving Chief an idea who quickly readies his pistol and pulls out a grenade. After waiting for a couple seconds to see if he would move away Chief goes into action jumping through the ventilation just as the Cerberus Assault Trooper begins to look up out of curiosity as Chief plants his boots right into the Troopers chest kicking the trooper to the ground at full impact taking him out.
"CONTACT!"
Chief reacts quickly priming his grenade and tossing it at four Cerberus soldiers to his left and jump rolls forward.
"GRENADE!"
One of the four troopers yell but is too late as the grenade explodes and takes the four of them out.
Chief rolls forward and gets into the crouch position as he raises his pistol to his right and fires his rounds into three Cerberus Troopers who are each hit a couple times and go down.
"Take him out!" The Centurion yells as he along with the rest of the remaining six Assault Troopers open fire on Chief who quickly runs towards the crates and slides over the top of them into cover as the rounds hit the crates and the wall. Chief reloads his pistol and puts it away as he pulls out his MA5D and waits for the enemy soldiers to stop firing. As the Cerberus soldiers begin to reload their guns Chief pops out of cover and fires his gun in short bursts managing to take out five of the Cerberus troopers.
Chief finds his gun out of ammo due to the battle with the Reaper forces as well as the Cerberus soldiers from the second floor and hops over the crates and charges forward towards the two remaining Cerberus soldiers. The Assault Trooper reloads his Hornet and raises the gun just for Chief to push his gun up into the air with his right hand making the soldier fire his gun and waste ammo and follow up with a powerful punch into the stomach making the trooper bend over and let out a gasp of air from the punch as Chief finishes him off by rolling over his back still holding the hand with the gun and getting behind him. Chief then breaks the troopers arm as the trooper let's out a scream of pain and Chief who grabs his neck with his right hand pulls him up and then slams his head into the wall breaking the troopers skull and leaving a large dent on the wall as Chief then throws him to the ground.
"You'll pay for that!" The Centurion says as he charges forward with his Shock Baton out and swings it at Chief who ducks under it and then grabs the Centurion's throat with his left hand and then throws him down on the ground. The Centurion even though he is wearing his armor still feels a powerful pain travel throughout his body almost as if he got hit by a truck and then sees as Chief puts a gun to his head and Chief pulls the trigger...
Chief stands back up and looks around making sure their all dead and when he's 100% sure heads off.
...
Meanwhile on the 9th Floor...
Shepard has so far encountered not a lot of resistance from Cerberus forces fighting past only two squads on the last two levels. Shepard arrived on the 9th Floor and started making his way through the entire floor making sure to clear it of Cerberus forces to lower the danger level once he found the hero. As he made his way into what seemed to be the medical center for this floor he all of a sudden heard Cerberus soldiers heading his way about to come through the other side of the rooms door. Shepard quickly ducked down behind a bed and looked out from under as he soon sees two Cerberus Assault Troopers walk in.
"Huh man all this stuff is way too much to take in this whole...Multiverse thing and stuff." The one on the left says
"No kidding finding this out would probably mostly be compared to when humanity found out we weren't along in the galaxy anymore." the other one says
"Maybe but nowhere as near as this." the other one says
Shepard readied his M-3 Predator pistol and by looking under the bed took aim at the Cerberus soldier on the left. Just then another Cerberus trooper runs into the room.
"Hey did you hear we got the comms back up and running problem is we haven't heard any word from the squads on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors! Orders are to head to the 5th and set up an ambush for whoever's taking out our guys." the trooper says
"Let's go then!" the one on the left says
Shepard hearing this decides to react quickly and fires shots into the heads of the first two Cerberus troopers taking them out in quick succession.
"What the!" the Assault Trooper yells as Shepard pops out of cover pointing his Predator at the Trooper.
The Assault Trooper acts quickly and radios in "This is Charlie 6 Shepard's here! He's on the 9th floor!"
Shepard then fires a shot into the troopers head killing him.
"Hopefully that will take some pressure off the Hero whoever he is." Shepard says as he heads off.
...
Both Shepard and Chief continue to fight their way through many Cerberus soldiers as all the Cerberus soldiers try their best to kill both the heroes.
On the 5th Floor Chief finishes off a Centurion driving his knife into his chest and then ripping it out when he looks up to sees two Cerberus Phantoms appear down the hallway. The two draw their Monomolecular Blades and get into battle stances with their right hands pointed out and their blades behind them. Shepard stares at the two and then readies his combat knife holding it in his right hand. The Phantoms make the first move as they both charge forward at the same time too which Chief gives a reply as he begins to charge forward too. Both the Phantoms and Chief run at top speeds towards each other down the narrow hallway as they prepare to engage each other drawing closer...and closer to each other. The Phantom on the right makes the first move jumping over and attempting to slice Chief's head off which Chief is quick to react too and block with his blade as the Phantom flies over him and safely lands behind him. The second Phantom jumps up into the air and brings her blade down on Chief who blocks the blade with his knife as the two become deadlocked. Chief however quickly gains the upper hand due to his augmented and multiplied by his armor strength and pushes the blade up into the air forcing the Phantom to stagger back a little and follows with a kick to the chest sending the Phantom flying down the hallway and hitting the ground and rolling back a bit. Chief then quickly turns in time to block the other Phantom's blade who quickly pulls is back and attempts to kick Chief in the head who just throws his head back to dodge the kick.
Chief then notices his motion sensor and looks behind him to see the other Phantom who survived the kick but with a lot of broken bones in her body raise her right hand and fire her Phase Disruptor too which Chief quickly sees coming and dodges causing the shot to hit the other Phantom and send her flying. Chief looks to see the other Phantom sent flying and turns his attention back to the other one as he sees her take aim with her gauntlet again. Chief throws his knife up into the air and catches it by the blade and then throws it at the Phantom and in just a mere second the knife strikes her and imbeds itself into her skull as she then falls backwards onto the ground dead. Chief turns his attention back to the other one just as it recovers and charges at him again and jumps sideways and attempts to kick down the Chief's body to which Chief catches her leg in the air causing the Phantom to fall on the ground and Chief then slam the Phantom into the wall and then throw her down the other side of the hallway as she hits the ground and rolls down the hallway before stopping near the end. The Phantom slowly and painfully gets back up trying to continue to fight and just as she stands up she sees the Chief charge right towards her and drive his left fist into her face as he slides past her and she falls backwards onto the ground with the helmet all cracked up.
Meanwhile on the 7th floor Shepard finds himself pinned behind some desks as a group of seven Cerberus Assault Troopers fire their weapons at him. Shepard pops out of cover and fires off a short burst from his Avenger and takes out two of the Assault Troopers. Shepard quickly gets back into cover as two rounds hit the desktop mere inches from him as he begins thinking of a plan. Shepard comes up with one and powers up his Biotics. He waits for the right moment and when it comes he pops out of cover and casts Singularity which catches hold of three of the Troopers as they struggle in the air. Shepard pulls out his Predator pistol and fires a single shot into each of the three as he slides over the desktop towards the Cerberus soldiers. One of the other Troopers pops out of cover and is about to fire but Shepard counters and casts the Stasis on the Cerberus soldier who freezes in place. The other Trooper sees this and pops out of cover as well but Shepard uses his Charge and in a split second flies towards nad rams right into the Cerberus trooper sending him flying into the wall. Just as the Stasis ends Shepard puts the Predator at the Troopers head and fires a round into him.
Just then he notices a flash of red appear on his eyes and disappear and looks to see a Nemesis on the balcony for the floor above him and quickly dives into cover as the Nemesis fires a shot which hits the desk. Shepard puts away his Predator and pulls out his M-92 Mantis and slowly peeks over the desk to see if the Nemesis is still there to which he gets his answer with a round that hits mere meters away from his face. Shepard looks to his left and right and then decides to go to the left noticing a small gap between a pillar and a desk he could hide behind and and hopefully get a shot off. Shepard quickly gets down on his stomach and begins to slowly and quietly crawl towards his position. Meanwhile the Nemesis continues to scan the area Shepard is trapped in making sure he can't make a break for the doorway or run anywhere else. The Nemesis slowly and steadily scans to her right with the sniper rifle but then sees something in between a desk and pillar. The Nemesis scans back and sees something just as a flash is seen and the sound of a gun firing is heard. Shepard fires the Mantis with the round travelling through the scope and going in and out of the Nemesis's eye. With the Nemesis dealt with Shepard gets back up and heads off.
Chief arrives at the staircase and begins running up the staircase towards the sixth floor.
Meanwhile Shepard arrives at the elevator and after calling it up and entering it begins to head to the sixth floor as well.
The Battle[]
Chief kicks down the door with his pistol drawn and quickly scans all around for signs of the enemy soldiers too see no sign of them. With the area cleared Chief quickly takes off to his left and begins checking each room for any survivors of enemy soldiers. As Chief finishes clearing the tenth room he heads to the next one and soon comes across a double sided opened door and gets against the wall as he prepares to check the room. Chief has his pistol at the ready and slowly breathes in as he jumps out of cover and raises his pistol upwards should he encounter any Cerberus soldiers. What he finds instead however is the UNSC Armory with the weapons that remain in there. Surprisingly the majority of the weapons are all still stacked up on their racks with some weapons on the floor with grenades and ammo packed in their crates.
Chief lowers his pistol and walks into the armory as he looks at all the weapons.
"Whoever these guys are must of attacked without warning for most of the weapons to be in here still." Chief says to himself also remembering that he is low on ammo and still needs to clear this floor and the top upper floors still.
Chief heads in and starts packing up on some ammo for his Assault Rifle and decides to replace his pistol as he places it aside and picks up a M45D Shotgun since things were going to be close quarters fighting most likely and packs up on Shotgun shells. He also grabs a couple more Grenades and also comes across some Covenant Plasma Grenades finding a crate of Covenant weapons as well behind some other UNSC crates and grabs a couple of them too. With all he needs Chief then leaves the armory.
Chief soon walks into what appears to be this floors main plaza. The plaza littered with rubble all around as well as showing signs of battle with shell casings on the ground, spent gun mag's and also finds a in-place M247H Heavy Machine gun and spent casings by its side. The plaza itself has a desk near the back, with pillars lining on both sides of the room holding up walkways for the floor above, with some more desks and chairs also lying about the area wither destroyed, flipped over or in perfect conditions, as well as some large square planters in the center with some grass and each with at least one tree growing out. Seeing no signs of the unknown enemy troops Chief is about to head out when he hears the ding of the elevator arriving on the floor sound. Chief looks towards the elevator and then looks around and hurries to get behind a pillar as he gets behind it and readies his Assault Rifle.
Shepard walks out of the elevator with his M-8 Avenger raised up as he scans for signs of Cerberus troops. Shepard moves slowly and cautiously as he moves past the first pillar and quickly turns to his right to see and open plaza and scans for Cerberus activity. Shepard continues to walk slowly sideways as he walks past the second pillar still seeing no sign of Cerberus. Shepard then turns to his left and once again looks down the hall to see if he can spot any Cerberus soldiers.
...
Chief quietly peers out from behind the pillar he is hiding behind and soon sees a human male walk past the second pillar. Chief notices the strange armor and weapons but notices the face looks exactly human unlike the other soldiers he had encountered so far who's faces looked like those of the creatures he was fighting. Chief didn't know what to make of the person as he certainly had the weapons and armor that almost closely resembles that of the other enemy soldiers in terms of the looks of what the armor was made out of. The armor didn't look like any of the soldiers he had encountered before's uniforms but he was wielding a weapon that once again was something that he had ever seen before. For all he knew this was perhaps the leader of whoever these men were. He was wearing armor the likes no other human had ever seen before and wielding a weapon that was not in any databases on known weapons. Not wanting to take any chances Chief carefully takes careful aim at the man before him.
Shepard passes by the fourth pillar and soon lowers his Avenger as he doesn't see any sign of Cerberus activity on this level. Shepard turns around but all of a sudden rounds start landing all around him as bullets hit the pillar and wall whizzing by him and with some of the shots hitting his armor which thankfully is protected by his Kinetic Barrier as Shepard quickly jumps behind two desks to his left. Shepard then peers out from the side of his cover trying to see where the shots came from. Peering out Shepard sees what appears to be someone or something behind a pillar on the other side but the figure fires his gun causing Shepard to quickly move his head back into cover.
Chief ejects the empty mag tossing it to the ground and then puts another mag into his MA5D. However the man on the other side pops out of cover and opens fire with his gun at Chief with three rounds hitting him before he can get back into cover as a couple more rounds hit the pillar. Chief waits in cover as his energy shields then recharge from the damage. Chief takes out and preps his M9 Grenade as he slowly moves to the other side of the pillar. Chief primes the grenade as Shepard continues to wait for the figure to appear out from behind the pillar still aiming his Avenger at the pillar but soon notices the figure pop out from the other side of the pillar and toss something at him. Shepard looks into the air and notices it to be a grenade as it flies towards him.
"Shit." Shepard says as he quickly runs to his left as the grenade lands near the desks. The grenade explodes destroying the desks and sending rubble flying into the air as Shepard runs away from the blast.
Chief runs back to the other side of the pillar and notices the man running and takes aim and begins firing his Assault Rifle at the man as he runs down the hall past the pillars. Shepard hears the figure firing his gun as bullets fly all around him hitting the wall and floor around him with a couple of shots hitting him and taking out some of his Kinetic Barrier's power as Shepard quickly turns past the last pillar and slides towards the planter in front of him. Chief steps out of cover and begins making his way to the planter in front of him trying to get a better angle on the man just as the man pops out of cover and and opens fire with his gun. Chief quickly returns fire with his assault rifle as the two men exchange fire at one another with rounds flying past them, hitting around them or hitting the target but Chief's Energy Shields and Shepard's Kinetic Barriers both absorb the rounds as Chief then gets behind the cover of the planter. Shepard ducks down and reloads his Avenger as Chief also reloads his gun. Shepard pops out of cover and fires off a burst at Chief's position with Chief still behind cover however with the shots impacting the top of the planter. Chief also pops out of cover and fires off a short burst of ammo from his gun with Shepard quickly ducking back into cover causing the shots to miss.
Shepard takes out one of his frag grenades and primes it, he pops out of cover and tosses the grenade at Chief's position. Chief pops out of cover and is about to fire his gun when he notices the grenade flying towards him. Chief's reflexes kick in as he quickly gets out of cover and runs towards the back desk he saw just as the grenade hits the ground flies a couple of inches in the air and explodes. Shepard sees Chief running and fires his Avenger after him as Chief quickly retaliates holding his assault rifle with his right hand and firing it backwards at Shepard's position and quickly jumping and sliding over feet first the desk into cover. Chief lands in cover and reloads his assault rifle as he heads to the side of the desk and then pops out too see Shepard already aiming his gun at him and firing his assault rifle at Chief causing him to duck back into cover as the rounds hit the desk. Shepard knowing he's in an exposed position due to his attacker's position looks behind him and slowly begins to walk backwards while still aiming his assault rifle at Chief.
Chief however doesn't wait and quickly pops out of cover while Shepard tries to move back and fires his assault rifle towards the Commander hitting him a couple of times but to no avail as the Kinetic Barriers protect him just as Shepard turns the corner of the planter and gets back into cover. Chief loads in his last clip for his MA5D and peers out from behind his cover looking at where Shepard is. Chief quickly remembers the Heavy Machine Gun and quietly crawls his way to the other side of the desk and peers out to see the Machine Gun still there. Shepard meanwhile reloads his Avenger with his last thermal clip and tries to figure out what to do. Shepard decides to see if he can try flanking the man and so slowly and quietly begins to head to the other side of the planter and then peeks out. However as he does so however Chief who had quietly snuck up to the Machine Gun sees Shepard and quickly begins to fire his M247H at Shepard's position who barely dodges the shots.
"Fuck!" Shepard says quietly to himself
Chief continues to fire his Heavy Machine Gun at Shepard's position as rounds impact all around sending chunks of debris flying all around as the sounds of the bulllet impacting the top of the planter is heard by Shepard who keeps his head down. Shepard quickly comes up with a strategy and powers up his biotics. Shepard first casts the Barrier giving himself more protection and then quickly pops out of cover and sends the Chief a gift in form of the Lift Biotic which he aims at the Heavy Machine Gun hitting it as Chief jumps back to avoid the strange blue orb that flies towards him and soon notices as the Heavy Machine Gun begins to float in the air. Chief stares at the Commander and becomes confused in the strange blue aura that surrounds him but gets his mind back to action as he quickly runs to and jumps into the air and grabs the M247H out of the air and lands back on the ground as Shepard pulls out his Avenger again but sees Chief's actions. Chief quickly aims the Heavy Machine Gun at Shepard and let's loose firing at Shepard who quickly gets back into cover as Chief slowly begins backing up towards the doorway so he can get to the armory.
"Well that's just cheap." Shepard says to himself.
Shepard pulls out an Inferno Grenade and preps it for when Chief stops firing. Chief continues to fire his gun soon finding it out of ammo and just in time arriving at the doorway. Chief quickly drops the Heavy MG and turns around runs as Shepard tosses the Inferno Grenade at Chief too which the grenade lands and explodes at the doorway but Chief manages to escape the blast radius as he jumps forward. Shepard quickly puts away his Avenger and pulls out his Tempest and chases after Chief.
...
Chief quickly finds himself back at the armory and tosses aside his assault rifle as he then grabs a pair of SMG's and loads up on some ammo for them. Chief also decides to grab a Bubble Shield Grenade just in case and quickly exits the armory. Shepard quickly runs down the hallway keeping his Tempest aimed forward for when he encounters the figure who fired at him. As he turns down the hallway and moves towards the next hallway corridor Chief pops out of cover with his shotgun out and fires off a round which hits Shepard in the chest but is protected by his Kinetic Barriers as Chief pumps his shotgun again and fires to which Shepard dives into the side of the wall to dodge the shot and fires his Tempest at Chief causing Chief to get hit a couple of times as he rolls back into cover. Shepard cautiously moves forward still sticking to the wall as Chief down the hall preps one of his Plasma Grenades and then pops out of cover and tosses the grenade at Shepard who fires his Tempest but misses as Chief quickly gets back into cover. Shepard barely dodges the grenade standing straight up against the wall as the strange thing flies past him. Shepard looks at the object which lands on the ground and hears the hissing from it and doesn't like what he's hearing. Shepard thinks quickly and fires his Tempest at the wall in front of him putting 20 holes in the wall and runs at it crashing through it into another room as the Plasma Grenade goes off.
Chief looks out from cover and doesn't see Shepard but then notices the hole in the wall and knows that he must of went in there. Chief carefully walks out of cover with his shotgun trained right at the hole and makes his way towards it. Chief stands against the wall with the hole right next to him and takes out, primes, and tosses his M9 Grenade into the room making sure it's clear and the grenade goes off a couple seconds later. Chief then moves in and finds himself to what appears to be an NCO's office. Chief looks around and sees no sign of Shepard and lowers his guard when all of a sudden Shepard jumps out from behind a cabinet with his M-100 Grenade Launcher in hand and fires a shot at Chief hitting Chief directly in the chest and sending him flying out the hole and crashing through the other side of the wall finding himself in a lockers room as he crashes into a couple of lockers and knocks them over. Shepard steps out of the NCO office and sees Chief as he gets up from the shot as if he shrugs it off as nothing. Shepard acts quickly and begins to fire his grenade launcher at Chief who acts quickly and pulls out and plants into the ground the Bubble Shield grenade which activates and forms a shield dome around him as the shots impact but are blocked by the shield. Shepard sees nothing but smoke fill the room in front of him and lowers his grenade launcher. However he smoke begins to clear and expects to see a dead body but instead sees what appears to be a dome of some kind disappear and sees the figure still clouded by the smoke aim something at him.
Shepard acts quickly and casts the Barrier Biotic but unknown to him Chief takes aim at him with a Asymmetric Recoilless Carbine-920 which he found from one of the destroyed lockers and charges the gun up to full power and fires it at Shepard. The shot impacts into Shepard which sends him flying backwards back into the office and through the wall of that office, Chief gets up as he stares through three holes in the walls and tosses the Carbine aside.
...
Shepard meanwhile finds himself on a pile of rubble as he wakes up from the shot letting out a sigh of relief as he gets up from the rubble and rubs his head.
"That's going to hurt in the morning." Shepard says to himself rubbing his head.
Shepard stands up and looks around to find himself in this floors medical center. Shepard hears footsteps coming towards him and quickly looks around for somewhere to hide and heads off getting behind a bed on its side.
Chief steps into the room with his SMG's out and a M739 LMG on his back deciding to replace his shotgun with the LMG as he looks around for Shepard. Shepard meanwhile takes out his M-76 Revenant and gets ready to strike waiting for the right moment. As Chief turns to the right with his SMG's pointed that way searching for Shepard, Shepard leans out of cover and fires his Revenant at Chief who quickly turns to the shots and returns fire with his Duel SMG's while also walking his way towards cover as the two soldiers fire at each other in a hail of bullets both getting hit multiple times but being saved by their shields as Shepard gets back into cover to reload his Revenant and Chief flips a table on its side and gets behind it for cover. Chief places down his SMG's and takes out his LMG and peeks over the desk and opens fire at Shepard's position with the bullets easily ripping right through the mattress of the bed causing Shepard to run away from the bed as he jumps over another bed as he turns around and returns fire at Chief as he backs his way towards the door with the two continuing to exchange gunfire at each other. Chief ducks down behind the desk as he begins to reload his LMG as Shepard continues to fire his Revenant with the rounds travelling right through the desk all around Chief who finishes reloading his LMG and pops back out of cover and fires again at Shepard who quickly retreats through the door.
Chief puts his LMG on his back and grabs his SMG's and quickly heads after Shepard. Chief runs out the door Shepard left through and looks down both sides of the hallway when he looks to his right and sees the door to the staircase close. Chief quickly runs to the door and kicks it open with his SMG's pointed out as he quickly looks down and then up the staircase and sees Shepard running up the stairs. Chief takes aim with his SMG's and fires both SMG's at Shepard as he runs up the stairs with the bullets hitting the railing near Shepard who jumps away from the railing to dodge the shots and then runs back over and fires his Revenant down at Chief who also dodges the shots as they hit all around him but as a distraction so he can continue running up the stairs as Chief begins to give chase again.
...
Meanwhile in the City...
"INCOMIIINNNG!" A UNSC Marine yells as a rocket is fired from a Cerberus Mech which takes out a Marine and ODST who are sent flying into the air.
Cerberus soldiers move in and engage UNSC and Covenant forces as Marines, ODST's, Elites etc...engage these unknown forces that appeared before them.
"These are the same fuckers we took care of in that building!" Hoya says firing his shotgun
"Yeah well it seems that they brought along some friends of theirs!" Madsen says firing his sniper rifle taking out a Cerberus Assault Trooper.
"Are these the strange humans you told me about?" Thel asks Palmer nearby as they take cover behind some rubble.
"Yeah these are them alright but it seems they had some friends we didn't encounter before." Palmer says
Since Chief left Palmer along with Fireteam's Majestic and Crimson had linked up with the Arbiter along with the others who had also been joined by some ODST's by then and cleared the area of the strange creatures and got any civillians out of the area as well. As they were about to leave they were ambushed by these strange humans who this time brought in some support of their own in a form of a mech and some unit's that weren't encountered before.
An ODST continued to fire his MA5D when all of a sudden he notices a red dot appear on his helmet and became confused. However when he saw where the red dot was coming from he noticed a sniper.
"SNIPER!" The ODST yells out when the Nemesis fires and hits the ODST with the round travelling right through the visor killing the ODST.
The Marine next to him armed with a DMR sees the sniper and fires it at the Nemesis managing to take her out.
"Move forward!" A Centurion yells as Cerberus soldiers begin to move in on the Marines and Covenant. The Marines and Covenant continue to fire their weapons managing to take out a couple of Cerberus soldiers but having trouble dealing with the Guardians due to their shields.
"Snipers aim between the gaps in their shields!" Palmer orders.
Any snipers in the group do just that as they carefully take aim and fire at the Guardians managing to get between the gaps and taking out some of the Guardians. The Atlas however continues to prove a problem as the pilot continues to advance forward and fires another rocket which takes out a Elite and some Grunts and Jackals. A couple of Drones take off and fly towards the Atlas in an attempt to take it out from behind. However the pilot sees this and takes aim and begins firing his Mass Accelerator Cannon taking out two of the Drones who fall out of the air. Some of the Assault Troopers on the ground give some assistance and fire their weapons at the drones who are all soon shot down.
"Where the hell are our Launchers!" Palmer yells
"We used up all our rockets! We don't have any left!" A Marine yells back
The Atlas Pilot continues to move forward and then begins to take aim at where Palmer and the Arbiter are.
"Commander!" Thel yells getting Palmer's attention as she sees the Atlas take aim at them.
"Oh shit!" Palmer yells as she and the Arbiter quickly get up from their cover and begin to retreat as rounds from the Cerberus soldiers hit all around them.
The Atlas fires the rocket which hits where Palmer and the Arbiter were once before as Palmer and The Arbiter get behind a destroyed Wraith and fire their weapons at the Atlas which continues forward.
"This battle is not going in our favor!" Thel says
"No kidding!" Palmer says firing her DMR and managing to take out a Assault Trooper who attempts to move forward.
"We must retreat to a better position before we are wiped out!" Thel says
"You probably right!" Palmer says
"Everyone fall--"
All of a sudden a rocket is fired from atop a building behind the Cerberus forces but hits and destroys the Atlas.
"What the?" Palmer says to herself
"Uhh what just happened?" Thorne says to Demarco the two in the front behind a destroyed Warthog.
All of a sudden someone opens up on the Cerberus forces from the building on their left and begins cutting them down as they try to figure out what the hell just happened. The Cerberus forces recuperate and begin firing at where the shots are coming from becoming distracted and giving the Marines and Covenant time to counter-attack them. Still not knowing what just happened Palmer puts it aside for now and orders everyone to open up on them while their distracted. The soldiers begin to fire at the Cerberus troops who become trapped between a crossfire. Some Cerberus soldiers try to return fire at the Marines and Covenant but become easy targets for the ones in the building while the Cerberus soldiers firing at the ones in the building become easy targets for the Marines and Covenant. A Phantom jumps from out of cover and activates her tactical cloak and moves towards the Marines and Covenant who haven't noticed her yet. All of a sudden she reappears in front of a Marine who becomes shocked and tries to fire his gun but is stabbed in the neck by the Phantom who jumps over him as Marines and the Covenant forces take notice of her.
"Aww shit!"
"Somebody fucking get that son of a bitch!"
The Phantom holds up her right hand and casts a biotic barrier around her which deflect all the shots as the Marines and Covenant fire at her with all they got in an attempt to kill her. However as the Phantom lowers the Barrier and is about to reactivate her cloak she fails to notice the Arbiter appear behind her and then drive his Energy Sword through her lifting her up into the air and then pulling it out of her causing her dead body to fall to the ground.
"Well that's the end of that." Demarco says
"Anyone want to explain what the hell is going on? Cause I could've sworn we cleared that building before these guys jumped us." Madsen says
"What we thought you guys could use some help." A voice came from behind the group.
Palmer and the others turned to see two humans in strange armor followed by strange looking creatures or something with them causing Palmer and the others to raise their weapons at the group.
James and the others stop in their tracks and raise their hands up too show they aren't hostile.
"Woah hey we just saved your asses!" Ashley says
"And that we're thankful off but we have no idea who the hell you people are and who they are with you." Palmer says referring to Garrus, Tali, Liara, Javik and EDI.
"Easy their with us." James says
"Not to mention killing us isn't exactly a good way of showing appreciation to the ones who saved you guys." Garrus says shocking some of the soldiers hearing him speak the common english language.
"Alright everyone stand down." Palmer says causing everyone to lower their weapons as Ashley and the others put away their weapons to further show their non-hostility to them.
Just then the Doctor runs through the group with his Hero Tracker in hand running up too Palmer, Thel and the others who look at the man confusingly as he walks by Palmer pointing his tracker at her and then walks by Demarco, Thorne, Madsen, and then a couple of Marines, ODST's, and Elites each one pointing his Tracker towards them while looking at it and walking to each one without even looking at them or where he's going. Just then the Doctor stands in front of the Arbiter and his tracker begins lighting up in green indicating something to him.
"Ahh here we go found him." The Doctor says looking up from the tracker and then slowly looking up towards the Arbiter while still smiling as the Arbiter stares down at the Doctor and let's out a small growl indicating he wants personal space from him.
"Oh my..."The Doctor says taking a step backwards away from him.
"Alright just who the hell are you people?" Palmer asks
"(turns his attention to Palmer) Oh yes right sorry for not introducing ourselves my name's The Doctor and these here are my friends the two humans Ashley Williams and James Vega, the Quarian the one with the mask on Tali Zorah, the Asari the blue one there Liara T'Soni, the Turian the one with those healing scars on his face Garrus Vakarian, the AI there in a synthetic body EDI, and the last Prothean the one with the four eyes Javik." The Doctor says
"Prothean? He looks nothing like one of those things." Thorne says looking at Javik who becomes confused by the comment.
"Well he's not exactly your version of Protheans. No not at all in fact quite very different he;s actually a living being, and he can do some stuff they can't do." The Doctor says
"Wait...what do you mean our version?" Palmer asks
"sssss riiiigght ummm yeah we got some explaining to do. That's for sure." The Doctor says
"You can say that again umm..." Palmer says
"The Doctor." Doctor says
"What just the Doctor?" Demarco asks
"Dude just go with it you can ask all you want he just calls himself the Doctor." James says
"Well umm it's a uh long story." The Doctor says
"And there is no short version of it. Not unless you want to fully understand it." Liara says
...
Back at the UNSC HQ...
Chief kicks open the door to the 8th Floor finding himself entering into an open area with a large open area in front of him with pillars and planters with grass circling it with the next floor's walkways above with a security room on the walkway as well. Chief carefully scans the area with his BR85 which he had picked up from a opened UNSC crate back on the 7th floor along with a Sniper Rifle System 99-S5 Anti-Matériel. As he looks for Shepard, Shepard takes careful aim with his M-92 Mantis as he looks out through the destroyed window of the security room. Shepard finally sees his opponent seeing it to be someone wearing a large bulky green armor with a gold visor. Shepard begins getting a strange feeling that he shouldn't fire his weapon but cannot figure out what that feeling is. As he aims straight for the head Shepard fires the Mantis which hits Chief in the head but the Energy Shield protects Chief and looks at the security room and sees the Mantis's barrel sticking out through the window and retaliates by firing his BR85 at the window while heading to cover behind a pillar as Shepard reloads his Mantis and fires another shot which lands left of Chief who fires another burst and gets into cover. Chief pops out of cover and fires his BR85 at Shepard as the rounds impact below the gun as Shepard fires another shot which Chief dodges getting back into cover. Chief quickly comes up with a plan as he kneels down against the wall with his gun pointing down to the ground. Chief looks around and finds a piece of rubble too which he places under the stock of the battle rifle which holds it up in position with the barrel still pointing down as he then grabs the Sniper Rifle from his back and prones down and begins to crawl in the opposite direction.
Shepard continues to keep his scope trained at the pillar unknown to Chief who uses the grass to conceal himself as he crawls to an excellent spot to get a shot off at Shepard. Chief soon gets a good angle on Shepard and carefully takes aim with his gun. Shepard all of a sudden begins to think something's up as he hasn't seen the gun move making him wonder what that strange armored man is doing. All of a sudden his gun is hit and destroyed as Chief fires his sniper and takes out Shepard's Mantis who tosses it aside and brings out his M-15 Vindicator and rushes out of the security room. Chief begins tracking Shepard's movement and fires his sniper rifle after him with the first round missing hitting behind him. Chief readjust his sniper and fires again this time hitting Shepard on his shoulder and the impact of the round making him flinch from it's impact. Chief then fires again hitting Shepard in the foot causing him to fall over but luckily the Kinetic Barriers protected him both times from the shots. Shepard gets back up and sights Chief and fires on his position with his Vindicator as the rounds hit Chief who gets up and reloads his sniper rifle and fires off three rounds at Shepard as he slowly walks sideways missing two times but hitting him again with the third shot. Chief ditches the sniper rifle and runs behind a pillar as he looks around for a weapon but then notices a UNSC crate in front of him. Chief walks up to it with the pillar blocking Shepard's sight and opens it up to reveal a M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle.
"Now we're talking," Chief says to himself as he grabs it.
Chief gets back behind the pillar and then pops out of cover and begins powering up the Spartan Laser. Shepard is about to fire his gun when he notices the Spartan Laser as the barrel begins to glow bright red.
"Oh boy..." Shepard says to himself as Chief fires the Spartan Laser too which Shepard runs away from the railing but Chief actually aiming it at the ceiling of the walkway on his floor causing the walkway to collapse from under Shepard who falls down with it.
Chief lowers his Spartan Laser and places it aside as he then grabs a M6H pistol which was also in the same crate with the Spartan Laser and begins to make his way towards the rubble. Chief begins walking through the rubble as he begins checking for the body of the man soon coming across his destroyed weapon under a rock. All of a sudden he picks something up on his motion sensor behind him and turns around just in time as Shepard steps out from under some rubble with his M-3 raised and fires his pistol with Chief firing his pistol at the same time as well. Both shots go past each other in the air but both shots manage to hit and damage the opponents pistol which both Shepard and Chief look at and then toss aside.
With no more weapons in hand Chief takes out his combat knife and holds it with the blade backwards in a reverse grip as he gets into a fighting stance. Shepard powers up his Biotics as he prepares to fight Chief. Both soldiers stare at each other waiting for one another to make the first move...
...
Shepard makes the first move as he casts a Shockwave towards Chief who's augmented reflexes kick in as he rolls to his right to dodge the shockwave which proceeds past him. Chief rolls off the rubble and into the open area and looks up to see Shepard charge at him and then jump into the air and raise his right arm. Shepard activates his Omni-Blade while in mid-air and drives it downwards towards Chief who quickly flips backwards causing the Omni-Blade to go into the ground instead. Shepard pulls his Omni-Blade out of the ground as it then retracts and de-activates. Shepard charges up his Biotics and then casts the Charge as he disappears and in a split second impacts into Chief who is sent flying into a pillar behind him crashing through it into the wall. Chief gets up shaking it off and looks at Shepard who stands ready for another round. Chief looks down and finds a sharp chunk of rock and picks it up, Chief then twists around and throws the rock like a frisbee at Shepard who barely dodges the rock as it skins his head. Shepard looks at Chief amazed by the speed he was able to throw that but gets his mind back into battle as he uses lift on a medium sized broken piece of pillar from the rubble behind him and then casts throw as he then throws the pillar at Chief. Chief merely charges forward towards the pillar and then jumps over the pillar and then flies towards Shepard as he sticks his right foot out and before Shepard can react kicks Shepard right in the chest sending him flying into the wall hitting it and then falling off it.
"(groans and then looks at his armor to see a dent on his armor) Shit...this guy's got some power." Shepard says looking at Chief who stands back up.
"This guy's got some weird stuff and is good I can give him that." Chief says to himself
Shepard stands back up and looses his balance stumbling to his right but manages to get back up as he powers up his Biotics again. Shepard then quickly casts Singularity which appears behind Chief who looks behind to see a strange black orb appear behind him and then feel as if it's trying to suck him in. Chief struggles to get away from the gravitational pull this thing is doing which amazes Shepard seeing this as no one had ever before been able to escape from a singulairty pull before. Chief then quickly plants his hands and feet firmly into the ground in an attempt to hold himself in place as the thing tries to pull him in. Shepard sees a chance and charges towards Chief as he prepares to give him a Biotic Slam. Chief looks up as he sees Shepard charging towards him, Chief looks behind him as the Singularity continues to try and pull him in but knows that he has to do something to defend himself from the attack. Shepard charges forward and jumps up into the air and raises his right hand as he prepares to deliver the Slam...all of a sudden without warning Chief using all of his strength pushes himself off the ground and into the air towards Shepard and pulls back his right arm. Both Shepard and Chief fly at each other and then throw their punches at each other with their punches connecting in the air.
...
The powerful punch of the two warriors sends out a powerful blast of air outwards from them as the grasses in the planters blow back from the force of the two contacts. Somehow Chief's punch causes a Biotic explosion that forms from the two fists and explodes outwards sending both Chief and Shepard flying. Chief is sent flying straight towards the ground and rolls back while Shepard flies backwards into the air and then falls down to the ground as Chief stops rolling.
...
For a minute both Shepard and Chief don't make a single move or twitch at all and the room becomes quiet for a minute. Then at the same time both Chief and Shepard both try their best to get up both struggling as they get up and stumble a bit as they attempt to regain their balance. When they do both soldiers stare straight at each other...both of their armors are beat up showing dents here and there all over their armor as both men breath slowly from the long battle they have gone through.
"You're not so bad." Shepard says complementing the man before him due to what's he's done that no one else has ever been able to do before.
"You're not so bad yourself." Chief replies due to no other regular man being able to stand against him or any other SPARTAN for that matter for more then a minute at best.
"Give up?" Shepard asks
"(grunts) I could do this all day." Chief replies
"Really...huh so can I." Shepard says back.
Shepard powers up his Biotics once again as Chief gets into a fighting stance with his combat knife at the ready again in his reverse grip. Shepard is about to cast Stasis on Chief but Chief knows the movement of when he is about to do something and as such quickly comes up with a strategy as he quickly runs diagnolly to his left as Shepard finishes casting Stasis causing it to miss Chief however who barely dodges getting hit. Shepard tries again as he takes aim at Chief who quickly stops in his tracks sliding to a stop and then doing a zig-zag across the battlefield making Shepard not be able to get an exact location on where he is as he tries to casts Stasis on him. Chief then stops in his tracks and changes course as he then charges straight at Shepard and before Shepard can react Chief hits him square in the chest with his right fist sending him flying backwards however quickly thinking Shepard then while in the air casts Charge as he looks right at Chief and flings himself forward at Chief hitting Chief in the chest once again but Chief plants his feet firmly in the ground and slides back a couple of feet. Chief then looks up to see as Shepard jumps into the air again and tries the Biotic Slam again to which Chief dodges by jump flipping backwards causing Shepard to hit the floor instead. Chief lands on his feet and charges forward again as he then throws a punch at Shepard's face who ducks under the punch and gives Chief an uppercut followed by a series of punches to the chest. Chief however shrugs them off and then catches both of Shepard's fists and easily holds them back. Chief then follows with a headbutt as Shepard stumbles back and holds his face in pain and Chief then follows falling to the ground and giving Shepard a sweep kick knocking him off his feet to the ground. Shepard looks up to see Chief about to punch him and quickly casts lift which sends Chief flying into the air giving Shepard some time to get up and away as Chief then falls back onto the ground.
Shepard stares at the Chief as blood begins coming from his mouth and nose and sees as Chief stands right back up and charges at him again. Shepard powers up his Biotics again but Chief anticipates this and leaps over Shepard causing Shepard to turn around as Chief then knees Shepard in the stomach causing him to let out a gasp of air from the hit. Chief attempts to punch Shepard in the chest but Shepard quickly recovers and then let's loose a Biotic Shockwave sending Chief flying into a pillar. Chief stands right back up with his combat knife at the ready charges once again at Shepard. Shepard comes up with a way to end this battle as he waits for the right moment. As Chief charges towards him Shepard pulls his right arm back but doesn't power up his Biotics. Chief however knows what is coming instead and quickly plans on how to dodge it. As Chief gets right at him Shepard drives the Omni-Blade forward but to his surprisement Chief plants his feet in front of him and ducks down as he slides past Shepard and under the Omni-Blade stopping a few inches away from Shepard and then turning around which as the Omni-Blade retracts Shepard also does at the same time powering up his Biotics ready to use another Shockwave but the two soon find each other at a standoff as Chief places his combat knife right on Shepard's throat and Shepard places his right hand right in front of Chief.
Both Shepard and Chief know that they are both at a standoff as Shepard tries to move and Chief could slit his throat but Chief meanwhile doesn't know what Shepard could throw at him as he doesn't know if he has any other powers that he is hiding for a moment like this.
The two soldiers stare at one another just waiting for one of each other to make the move to end it all...
...
However just then as Shepard looks at him...his mind begins trying to tell him something. As Shepard looks at Chief for a couple more seconds...he then remembers...the visions he had of the heroes and the images the Doctor showed him and his team on the TARDIS...he then remembers the man before him and the green armor. Shepard then fully remembers...
"Wait a minute..." Shepard says
"It's...it's you...the one from my vision..."Shepard says confusing Chief.
"What are you talking about?" Chief asks
"You...you're one of the Heroes I saw in my vision. You're one of the two heroes of this universe!" Shepard says
"What do you mean?" Chief asks
Too show Chief that he means him no more harm he powers down his Biotics and lowers his right arm. Chief becomes confused at this action but even more so because of what he says. Believing that he should kill this stranger right now...something else inside of him tells him otherwise and so he pulls the combat knife away from him and puts it away.
"Alright whoever you are start talking." Chief says.
Epilogue[]
Shepard and Chief sit on some pieces of rubble as Shepard explains the entire story about The Reapers, Minerva and her plan, and everything that is happening back in his universe and everything.
"So that's pretty much it." Shepard says
Chie remains quiet due to all of the stuff he just learned and is a lot to take in.
"That's...a lot to take in...so those guys that I fought were known as Cerberus." Chief says
"Yes. Back in my universe their a terrorist organization. Their whole goal is to advance the human race and make it the dominate race of our galaxy. But the methods of which they do it by is...terrible as you saw what they do to their soldiers." Shepard says as Chief remembers the face of the dead Cerberus soldier he saw.
"And the Reapers...their whole thing is purging the...well your galaxy of all advanced life?" Chief asks
"That's right." Shepard says
"If that's the case why are they attacking our's and all these other universes. Some of them you said aren't very advanced according to this Doctor guy you mentioned." Chief asks
"That part we don't understand either. All we know is that in order to stop the Reapers once and for all Minerva came up with the plan I told you about...Uniting all the Heroes and their armies together to fight the Reapers. According to the Doctor the main bulk of the Reaper forces are still in our galaxy including their main leader Harbinger. We built a weapon that has been in the works for many centuries with each cycle trying its best to add onto it so that the thing could be built and then end the Reapers once and for all. Me and my team had originally planned on attacking our Earth to retake it and use the Crucible but when we came across Minerva's tomb and I met a group of heroes from another universe and brought their army into ours we knew that we would stand a much better chance by gahtering all of you heroes and armies. The Reapers had already devasted our entire galaxy as well as our militaries. With what we had I don't know how well we would of done. But with what Minerva said...we knew that perhpas if we did this...perhaps we would stand a much better chance. But we didn't count on the Reapers finding a way to travel throughout the Multiverse and start attacking all the universes. And we definetly didn't expect Cerberus to ally with the Reapers and help them by killing the heroes of each universe in an attempt to take out our list of potential allies." Shepard says
"I believe you Shepard. I do...especially with all that's happened today...but I can't just leave Earth...my Earth with what's happening and with what you said about the Reapers. Earth needs me...I can't just abandon it." Chief says
"I felt that way too when I left my Earth...I left a great friend of mine behind on Earth...he's leading our resistance back on my Earth. But he said something to me that's true...I had to leave Earth...if we were to stand a chance against the Reapers I needed to gather all of our allies together if we even had ANY chance of winning this war. I know how you feel Chief...but think about it. If we don't band together and fight the Reapers alone...this war's already lost. If you want to save your universe you need to come with me and help me gather the rest of the Heroes and their armies. The Doctor said it itself. If we actiavte the Crucible and take out Harbinger then the Reapers are essentially defeated." Shepard says
"And...do you know what this Crucible does or how it works?" Chief asks
"We know thow it works...sorta...but we don't know what it does. But again think about it. You saw how your military is doing even with your alien allies. We need to gather all the armies of the multiverse together if we are to have any chance of beating the Reapers. By yourselves you're not going to stand any chance at all against them. Together we can stand a more better chance then you would of before. If you want to save your universe...think about it." Shepard says
And Chief does begin to think about it...Chief stands up and turns around with his back towards Shepard as he thinks about it. Meanwhile he pulls out from one of his armor's pockets...Cortana's Data Chip attached to a chain. Chief had already lost Cortana...he let her down...he was not about to loose his entire universe to these Reapers and let all of these people down. He was not about to loose anymore friends and definetly not his entire universe...
Chief puts away Cortana's Data Chip and turns back to Shepard..."I've decided...I'll help you." Chief says
Shepard gives a small smile on his face as he gets up and walks up to Chief and holds out his right hand. Chief looks at it and then grabs his hand as the two shake signifying their alliance.
"In terms of the help of the UNSC and Covenant...I don't know. I know two friends of mine who have to decide on that." Chief says
"Well then I'll just contact my team and I'll have them come and pick us up." Shepard says
"Their they are!!" A voice echoes from behind Chief as Shepard looks past Chief and Chief turns around.
The two then see as Cerberus forces enter through the staircase and begin to open fire on them. Shepard stands in front of Chief and casts a Biotic Barrier Shield around him and Chief as the Cerberus troops continue to fire their weapons at him.
"You happen to have anymore weapons on you?" Shepard asks
"All I got is my combat knife. How long will you be able to keep this up?" Chief says
"I'll try and hold it as long as I can!" Shepard says but begins to loose it having still not recovered from his battle with Chief.
As more Cerberus soldiers pile into the room and fire on Shepard and Chief soon the sound of the TARDIS is heard behind Shepard and Chief who turn around to see the TARDIS materialize.
"What's that?" Chief asks
"The Calvary." Shepard says with a smile
The double doors of the TARDIS open up as Ashely along with the rest of the team exit out and open fire on the Cerberus troopers. However what surprises Chief and Shepard are others who come out...The Arbiter, Palmer, and Fireteam Majestic also exit the TARDIS and open fire at the Cerberus soldiers who soon begin to concentrate their fire on them but soon more Cerberus soldiers appear on the walkways above and join in as they shoot towards the groups. Some of Sheaprd's team and Fireteam Majestic begin to shoot at the Cerberus soldiers on the walkways.
"Shepard we got you covered come on!" Ashley yells
All of a sudden the entire building starts shaking.
"What was that!" James yells out
Just then the Doctor appears at the door of the TARDIS.
"We need to go now the Reapers found out that we're all in here and are about to bring the house down!" The Doctor yells
"We better move fast then." Shepard says to Chief
"No problem." Chief says
Shepard soon lowers his Biotic Barrier as he and Chief turn tails and at full sprint run towards the TARDIS as the others quickly walk past the Doctor and head back into the TARDIS. Ashley and the Arbiter remain at the door and continue to give covering fire for Shepard and Chief as they run towards the TARDIS.
"Doctor get inside already!" Ashley says
A round hits near the Doctor who ducks from the sound of the shot impacting near him as he then runs back into the TARDIS and begins powering it up.
Meanwhile in the sky above the building a Reaper descends on the building and begins to power up its weapon. Ashley and the Arbiter step aside as Chief and Shepard run past the two into the TARDIS as Chief stops and looks all around at the inside of the TARDIS amazed by what he sees due to the insider being...way bigger on the inside then outside. Ashely and the Arbiter close the door as the Doctor throws the final switch.
"HOLD ON!" The Doctor yells as the TARDIS begins rumbling as outside the TARDIS begins to disappear as the Cerberus soldiers continue to fire their weapons at it.
The Reaper outside meanwhile finishes powering up its weapon and fires at the building. Inside the weapon travles all the way down the building and then destroys the building along with killing all the Cerberus soldiers inside of it.
...
Meanwhile in Space a couple Miles away from the Earth...
The Space Battle was lost...Lasky has no other choice but to order the remaining UNSC forces retreat at a safe distance from the Earth as Reaper ships hover over the planet. The Covenant also retreat their ships with the UNSC as well. From a far the ships that survived stare at the Earth as all the human crew members stare with sadness in them seeing the Earth as it is. Lasky sighs at the sight of Earth having no choice but to leave it to save his men from total annahilation. Unfortunetly some of his friends were down there as well...Chief, Palmer, Fireteam's Majestic and Crimson...all on the Earth along with many other Humans and Marines. All of a suden he hears a strange sound come from behind him as he then sees...a blue box materialize before him. Some of the Marine and Elite Guards on the ship rush over and point their weapons at the box. Just then the doors open up and everyone staring becomes surprised as they see...Master Chief step out causing the Marines and Elites to back up from the box and lower their weapons. Chief is soon followed by Palmer, Majestic, and the Arbiter...but are alos followed out by someother...people.
"Chief! Palmer! Majestic!" Lasky says surprised and happy as well.
Lasky takes notice of the other group of people with them including some of the strange looking individuals.
"Who are they?" Lasky asks
"It's a long story..." Chief says
...
Chief along with Palmer and Thel explain to Lasky and the crew members on the bridge what they were told by Shepard and the others. Hearing all of this not only amazes them as they learn that they are literally more...universes different from this one...but also become horrified about what they hear about the Reapers. Chief even then explains the plan of Shepard's that he had gained from Minerva and how that if they are to save their Universe they will have to go with Shepard and his team to their Universe and join their army of allies. At first not a lot of the crew memebers like hearing this idea but begin to understand that the Reapers are perhaps the most powerfulest foes ever and that by themselves will not stand any chance agains them and that the only way possible is to join forces with all of these other universes armies to help defeat the leader and main bulk in Shepard's Universe.
"If it means saving not only the Earth but our entire Universe as well then you have the help of the UNSC." Lasky says
"And I have already agreed that you will also gain the help of the New Covenant as well." Thel says
"Thank you..all of you." Shepard says
"We won't need to worry about of forces still on the Earth. I put Fireteam Crimson in charge of leading a resistance against these Reapers. Let's just hope they can hold out against them while we're gone." Palmer says
"We still have a lot of our fleets out there in our galaxy...I will contact all of them and explain the situation. Maybe even call in some fleets to come with us to your galaxy to gather with the other armies you've gathered so far." Lasky says
"Well the first part is necessary Captain Lasky but I have a toy that will help some of your ships travel in between this universe and Shepard's universe. It was built for if there was ever a time like this that universes had to be connected. My people built the device itself when we ourselves encountered the Reapers and learned that they could unlock the ability to travel in between Universes." The Doctor says as he then runs into the TARDIS and cloes the door as he then has it travel out into space.
The TARDIS then fires a small black orb from the top of itself which then transforms into a gigantic black hole...but then the darkness is replaced by an image...the image shows the New Republic Fleet over the plant that Shepard and the others encountered Minerva...
Meanwhile in Shepard's Universe...
"Joker I'm picking up some strange readings!" Traynor says as Joker pilots the Normandy around the planet.
Soon a gigantic black hole forms in front of him and the New Republic Fleet with the crew memebers on the New Republic ships stare in confusion at the black hole which then changes as an image forms...
Back in Chief's Universe...
The Doctor lands the TARDIS back on the Infinty and steps out.
"Doctor just what is that?" Shepard asks
"The Universal Connection gun. Makes a gigantic black hole but then changes into a portal which will link this universe to your universe. Like I said the Time Lords built it for when the Reapers did learn the ability to travel across the Multiverse. Usually we would never of built something like this but when we encountered the Reapers and learned about them we knew that something like this could be needed. In which I would say is quite right. Don't have to worry there aren't any side effect when crossing through it and the better part is that it's invisible to the Reapers and any allies they might have such as Cerberus but visible to those who are on the side of good to say." The Doctor says
"Meaning..." Lasky says but is cut off by the Doctor
"Meaning that should you need more ships or supplies then you can travel back and forth between their's and your universe just for that. Also give you connection to your universe for contacting over here as well. Let's you keep in on what's happening back in your universe." The Doctor says
"Wait you didn't do this for Luke's Universe though?" Tali says
"Ohhh right yeah I better do that when we get back then and all." The Doctor says
"I'll still need to contact the rest of the UNSC and explain the situation. So if you could wait a little bit before...and maybe contact your allies on the other side so they don't open fire on us." Lasky says as he leaves to contact the rest of the UNSC.
"I should most likely do the same with my forces as well." Thel says as he exits the room.
...
Meanwhile inside the TARDIS....
"Joker can you hear me?" Shepard says as the Doctor pointed him out to his TARDIS's communicator so he could contact Joker on the other side.
"I read you Commander ummm this portal I see in front of me doesn't happen to be the work of the Doctor would it?" Joker asks
"Yes it's his doing. You see the ships on the other side right?" Shepard asks
"Well yeah I do. Excellent contact the New Republic Admiral and tell him that the ships that will be coming through are allies. This universe's armies. We got the heroes and their armies and will be coming through." Shepard says
"Well that sounds like good news...So how was things over there?" Joker asks
"Things were...a little rough. Afterall it's not everyday you travel to a whole different Universe and well you know." Shepard says
"Huh yeah I believe that." Joker says
"So how are things over there...also how long have we been gone?" Shepard asks
"Things are actually quiet here. I'm surprised the Reapers haven't attacked this place yet. They seem to know about your whole plan and whatnot and I'm a bit surprised they haven't tried attacking the New Republoc fleet while their still here." Joker says
"The Reapers havne't attacked yet?" Shepard asks
"No...oh and it's been 3 hours since we heard from you." Joker says
"Hmmm I wonder..." Shepard says
"What is it Shepard?" Joker asks
"Like I said before this whole thing started something's on that planet and is keeping the Reapers away from that planet...if that's the case...we should make that planet a rendevous point and the main meeting location for our armies to gather." Shepard says
"Huh?" Joker asks
"I'll explain later but tell the admiral of the New Republic fleet not to fire at the ships that come through." Shepard says
"Got it Shepard." Joker says
Shepard exits the TARDIS as his team talk with Palmer and the team members of Fireteam Majestic. Just then Captain Lasky returns and tells Shepard that he explained everything to the rest of the UNSC forces who were confused at first but thanks to Chief understood everything. Chief and the Arbiter return as well as Arbiter explained everything to his forces who also acted the same as the UNSC confused at first but then understood.
"Alright then let's go meet our new allies." Lasky says as the UNSC and Covenant Fleet fly towards the portal and go through it.
...
The New Republic fleet as well as the crew of the Normandy watch as the UNSC and Covenant fleet fly through the portal in space as the ships join alongside the New Republic ships as well.
"Wow now those are some ships." Lasky says looking at some of the New Republic's ships.
...
Meanwhile on the Normandy...
The TARDIS re-materializes in the Hangar Bay where Luke along with Leia, Han and Chewie along with Traynor, Cortez, Adams, Daniels and Donnelly wait for Shepard and the team's return. Shepard and his team step out of the TARDIS soon followed by Master Chief and the Arbiter who stare at the inside of the Normandy's Hangar. Some of the crew members look at the Master Chief and Arbiter and become amazed by what they see before them.
Luke then walks forward "Welcome back Shepard." Luke says
"Thanks Luke." Shepard says as Chief stands next to him and stares at Luke.
"You must be one of the Heroes that came from that alternate universe." Luke says
"You could say that. Call me Master Chief." Chief says
"I welcome you to the fight Master Chief. And you are?" Luke says as Thel joins them.
"I am Thel Vadame. But you may call be Arbiter." Thel says
"I welcome you as well." Luke says
...
As Chief and Arbiter get shown around the Normandy and meet some of the crew who learn about these two heroes Shepard heads to the Comm Room and reports to Hackett, Anderson, Wrex and the Council who are pleased that he has found another group of heroes as well as not one but two armies from this other universe.
"Very good work Shepard." Hackett says
"You have done well Commander...but if I understand what you said correctly...the Reapers now have gained the ability to travel throughout the Multiverse." Tevos says
"And that Cerberus and the Reapers have actually formed an alliance after somehow finding out about the plan and now work together to destroy these other heroes and armies before you can recruit them?" Sparatus says
"Unfortunetly yes Councilor. This is a big turn in events. But I won't give up. We need these heroes and armies and unless I see their worlds in absolute flames I will continue my mission to gather these heroes and their armies for the war." Shepard says
"It seems now that the entire multiverse will begin to feel what we're going through soon." Anderson says lowering his head down.
"Continue as best as you can Shepard but don't get yourself killed along the way." Hackett says
"Yeah it wouldn't feel exactly right for us to kick Reaper ass without you there." Wrex says
"This universe I came from just now...I encountered a...powerful hero to say. The Doctor said that he would be of great help in saving and recruiting the rest of the Heroes." Shepard says
"And do you belive this Doctor?" Valern asks
"I've experienced what this Hero can do and trust me he can be of great help not just for saving and recruiting the remaining heroes but a powerful ally as well." Shepard says
"Anything else then Shepard?" Hackett asks
"...Actually there is one more." Shepard says
"And what's that?" Tevos asks
"If you can could you possibly bring your fleets to his planet here?" Shepard asks
The leaders become confused at this request. "Why is that Shepard?" Hackett asks
"I have reason to believe that there's something on this planet that are keeping the Reapers away from here. I was gone for three hours and the Reapers didn't try attacking the New Republic fleet while I was gone. If that's the case I say that all our forces that aren't out in battle or are needed somewhere should gather here. If we can gather all of our forces together here they should be safe from the Reapers. That and...well I'll explain what else I have in mind when you get here." Shepard says
"It definetly sounds like something's keeping the Reapers away from that planet if they haven't attacked that place at all during this entire war. I say you should listen to him." Anderson says as he leaves the conversation.
"It does sound like a good plan to gather all our forces at a spot that the Reapers have not gone near during this entire war." Tevos says
"Alright Shepard we'll move our fleets there and meet with you soon enough." Hackett says
"Also when you do arrive Councilor's, Admiral Hackett, Wrex could you gather on my ship I have something to discuss." Shepard says
...
Later...
Soon the System's Alliance Fleet followed by the Turian's also carrying Krogan forces aboard due to the Krogan having no ships of their own, Asari, Salarian, Geth, and Quarian fleets arrive in orbit over the planet. Admiral Hackett, the Councilors, Wrex soon joined by also joined by Admiral Raan and a Geth trooper representing for the Geth as both the Quarians and Geth were contacted by Shepard as well walked onto the Normandy.
The leaders walk into the Normandy's meeting room where before them was Captain Lasky and Thel Vadam along with the leader of the New Republic's forces known as...Admiral Gial Ackbar also stood over the table with Shepard, Chief and Luke also in the room.
"Hello Shepard." Hackett says
"Admirals, Councilors, Wrex." Shepard says greeting them.
"Hey Shepard." Wrex replies
"So who might these people be?" Sparatus asks
"These are the leaders of our allies fleets." Shepard asks
"Captain Lasky representing for the UNSC." Lasky says
"Thel Vadam representing for the Covenant." Thel says
"Admiral Ackbar for the New Republic." Ackbar says
"And who are you?" Valern asks referring too Master Chief
"This here is Master Chief the new Hero I recruited from the universe I just came from with the final hero from that universe being Thel Vadam over there." Shepard says
"So Shepard why did you bring all of us here?" Hackett asks
"I brought all of you here to discuss the statues of our forces so far." Shepard says
"What do you mean?" Wrex asks
"It's simple actually and the second reason I wanted all our forces to meet here. It's true that in the end we'll all be fighting side by side against the Reapers in the end. But the thing that hasn't happened so far is that our forces haven't exactly got to know each other personally." Shepard says
"What do you mean Commander?" Raan asks
"In our universe we all have foughten alongside each other before and our militaries can work together perfectly and trust each other. But the problem for the forces who I'm bringing from the other universes well they haven't worked exactly by our forces or another universes forces sides. If we want to work together I think that while we gather our forces here at this spot that we should have our forces talking to one another. Let soldiers go onto others ships and get to know the military forces, the soldiers that they are going to be fighting alongside in the upcoming battle. Have our forces train one another in different tactics, fighting ways and other stuff that will help us in the upcoming battle. We need all of our forces to know that they can trust everyone to watch their back in combat." Shepard says
"So in which case fraternization with our new allies." Hackett says
"Exactly get our forces to know one another. Maybe even have our combat leaders talk to one anther and come up with new battle strategies, battle tactics using our forces. Also have our forces train alongside each other show each other ways they fight and everything. Get to know our allies." Shepard says
At first all the leaders are silent when the Geth Representative speaks.
"I agree with the Commander's suggestion. If we do as he says then our forces would be more effective in combat and be able to work alongside one another much more efficiently."
"It does sound like a great plan Shepard. We can't have our forces all go in but know next to little or nothing about our new allies." Hackett says
"Especaially in developing new tactics and strategies to use in battle since all of our forces have different ways of fighting or have certain things another does not." Sparatus says
"While you and your team continue gathering the heroes and armies Shepard we will consider what you have said and put it into effect and have our forces get to know each other more better and all of the other things you have said." Tevos says
...
Shepard and Chief return down to the hangar where the rest of the team and the Doctor waits.
"So Commander are we ready to go save more heroes and armies are we?" The Doctor asks
"We're ready." Shepard says
"Alright then let's go." The Doctor says
"Let's just hope we aren't to late to save the other heroes." Chief says as the team enters the TARDIS.
"Let's just hope that my plan works and something bad doesn't happen while we're gone." Shepard says
"I think that your fraternization plan might work. All our soldiers get to know each other, strengths, weaknesses, and we develop new strategies and tactics for the battle to come." Chief says
"Alright then here we go!" The Doctor says as he flips the switch and the TARDIS flies off to another multiverse.
"I wonder what this universe is going to be like?" Tali wonders
"Who knows but we can definetly expect Reapers and Cerberus to already be there messing the place up." Garrus says
"Not really helping the situation Garrus." Tali says
...
Meanwhile in another Alternate Universe...
The sky darkens up as red lighting appears in the sky...A Reaper ship descends from the clouds over a dark land with a volcano in the middle...meanwhile far from the volcano a gigantic white city is seen against a mountain with a large open plain before it...with a blooming white tree at the top...as a leaf falls from the tree.
...
Meanwhile at the Citadel...
The Illusive Man sits on a new seat much like his old one however this time as he looks at the view of the Citadel from his spot. The Illusive Man blows out a puff of smoke from his mouth holding his cigar to his side. All of a sudden a bright light appears before him.
"Ah the one known as Minerva am I correct." The Illusive Man says as Minerva appears before him.
"You are the one known as the Illusive Man." Minerva says
"(puts his ciagrette in his mouth and then pulls it out and blows) and what if I am." the Illusive Man replies
"You should stop what you are doing and what you are trying to do. You cannot control the Reapers...no one can. And you should stop trying to stop the Commander and his friends. You should stop trying to kill the Heroes of the Multiverse. You should not ally with the Reapers. You are messing with things that you cannot comprehend." Minerva says
"Sorry but better people then you have tried. I am simply trying to do what is best for Humanity and the galaxy...well more like the Multiverse now that is...Besides thanks to the Reapers foolishly allying themselves with me and giving me the technology. Not only have I found a way of traveling throughout the Multiverse...but I have also defied even death itself." The Illusive Man says as soon three figures cloaked by shadows are seen behin them...two of them looking like humans...and the third one looking like...a turian.
"You will regret ever doing what you have done Illusive Man. And you will pay for it." Minerva says as she disappears.
"So how did our treaty go with the remnents of this...Empire?" The Illusive Man asks
"They have agreed to lend us and the Reapers their support. The Reapers have already learned about the treaty as well and have not attacked them." the skinny human says
"Excellent work. While Shepard gathers his own allies. We shall gather our own." The Illusive Man says
"Now then we should most likely try and talk to these Storm Covenant next about allying with us...(smokes) You won't be needed for this one...Kai Leng. But I do need you to head to another Alternate Universe." The Illusive Man says
The Shadow figure steps out of the shadows to reveal the Cerberus Assassin...Kai Leng. "As you wish sir." Kai Leng says
"Perhaps I should go and talk to these Storm Covenant?" the other human says
"No no I am sending you to another Alternate Universe...Clone Shepard." The Illusive Man says
The Clone Shepard steps out of the shadows "Aw man where's the fun in that now?" the Clone asks
"You may look like Shepard but you don't exactly posses some of his personality. You're more for the combat role instead...our new friend here will talk to the Storm Covenant if you would...Saren."
Just then the Turian steps out of the Shadows and reveals himself to be none other then...Saren Arterius.
"I will convince these Storm Covenant otherwise. Illusive Man." Saren says
"Good then the three of you can be off now." The Illusive Man says as the thre nod and head off to do their respective missions while the Illusive Man continues to stare at the Citadel.
To Be Continued....

The Winner:TIE!!!
Expert's Opinion[]
In the end both Shepard and Chief tied the battle up and both came out as victors. Both Shepard and Chief had their strengths and weaknesses that contributed to the battle. Chief's strengths were for example that he was MUCH more used to fighting by himself where Shepard was more use to fighting alongside his team members much more. Chief had his strengths such as his Genetic Augmentations that helped him out when things got in close quarters combat and to escape from Shepard's weapons. Shepard however had Biotics which was something totally unknown about to Chief who knew next to nothing about them and had little ways of fighting against them except trying to doge them or some other way. However when it comes to these two Soldiers they both deserve the title of "THE BEST of Humanity" and there is no way for a clear victor to ever be decided between these two legendary heroes of Humanity.
