Hey, Jaz here, little idea I had, let me know if I should continue this.
Established MCxC and FemShepxGarrus, Right at the end of ME3 and Halo4, Spoilers. I own nothing. except my love for Garrus.
Bomb, one Chance.
Pistol, one choice.
The roaring in his helmet made it impossible to hear, to think. He could see the laser burning the planet below, he could feel it. He felt it as he crawled to the nuke, and as he grabbed it, the pain flared again, all through his head. He paused. Just for a moment.
She couldn't feel the pain in her side anymore, she could only feel the burning in her throat as the weight of what she was about to do dragged her down. Leveling her pistol at the crucible's kill switch, she took a breath. She paused. Just for a second.
He would miss her.
She would miss him.
With a yell of defeat, he activated the nuke.
With a cry of anguished, she fired her pistol.
The light was blinding, he could feel himself falling, into...into what? The nuke had gone off, hadn't it?
The crucible was falling around her, the explosions...explosions were happening in front of her, right?
He was falling through fire and light, and he could feel it all...
She couldn't feel them. She couldn't feel anything at all...
The brightest light blinded everything at, and for a second there was no pain, no light, no fire. But then he saw it, the portal the Didact fell through. It was behind him? What-
A light blocked everything out, everything. She couldn't see anything, couldn't feel anything. The it hit, a wave of pain and fire sent her spinning into the darkness, wasn't it light before-
Solid, he hit the ground hard.
Force, She landed just as hard.
They didn't move for a long time.
The pain woke him, it radiated from his head, to his arms, to his core.
All the hurt came back, waking her, dragging her into the living world.
On his back, he rolled onto his side, and in front of him was another body, living, and...looking right at him.
She pushed away from the heap she had woken in, and turning, her eyes caught something...it was staring.
The solider clad in black and red armor stared back at him with fierce green eyes and striking red hair...he stood out among the nothing.
The solider looking at her in green combat armor and a cracked visor that revealed one blue eye...he was the only thing she could see.
The both reach for their guns, and both fired.
