After the discovery of galactic space flight humanity began to expand populating more and more planets. but one man was seeking control of all of this.
Secret military testing facility/
Location unknown
Nero woke with the hard steel cuffs strapping him to the operating looked round at the room he had become accustomed to waking up in, after eight years of being in captivity. Neros minds began to wander, he thought about how he was taken from his parents at the age of 12, the people that had taken him created a flash clone of him. flash clones were made so they would perish after a year. making families of the abducted think that they were dead.
Whoosh the doors on the opposite side of the room opened and three figures walked In a tall man in a black suit a woman with black hair in a white uniform and another man in a lab coat who Nero had nicknamed doctor death. Nero never got a good look at these people but he would never forget what they stood for... his pain. He heard the suited man talk to the doctor.
" doctor you had better not fail me with this experiment I have invested too much for you to fail. I expect to see a weapon of mass destruction on that table not a waste of time."
"I promise you sir that this specimen will meet your night expectations"
Nero used to get worried and sick at how the doctor would talk about him as if he was an expendable piece of meat.
The suited man replied " I want the boy to be the best and worst thing that has happened to this galaxy."
It has been a pleasure doing this for you sir. I have begun the last of the experiments on him now.
the machines above nero's head began to whir and buzz he lay still as one moved down and injected him with drugs that began making his nervous system go into overdrive. He watched as the figures across from him tapped on more of the needles to inject him. they administered brain stimulants, muscle stimulants and reflex stimulants. He watched as the needles pierced his skin dyeing and injecting him at the same time they were infusing him with drugs that had never been tested before. The pain of this ordeal would have killed a normal person out but because of the extensive genitive and chemical modification made on Nero he would never be able to have that way out...the easy way.
After the procedure Nero looked down at his new then began to feel a burning in his head. He felt the burning creep over his whole body until it all washed away. Nero lay there they had done this to him for years of his sixteen year life he was driven to stay alive to destroy all that these people stood for. He would not stop until they fell under his hand
The room Nero was in began to transform in to a large arena with a one way mirror set into one side. He watched as the sterile white panels twisted and rotated into place. After a few minutes Nero was standing In Front of the mirror. He was cold considering all he was dressed in were black skinny jeans and black canvas shoes.
He knew he was in trouble as soon as the room began to move. But Nero had done a good job at not showing it until he saw 'IT' the giant machine towered over himself the machine was in two words " walking death " and from what he could gather the suited man the woman in white and the idiot doctor were behind this. The sound of the gun on the robots arm whiring broke Nero out of his internal thoughts.
The robot fired at Nero he had to move from the slugs being hurled at him. the rounds kept coming the rounds peppered the white walls of the room. As Nero was dodging bullets he was using his neural computer implant to diagnose the robots weaknesses and attack patterns.
As Nero was doing this he learnt that the mech was called YMIR heavy model. And it was designed to destroy its opponents quickly because it was pretty slow.
As soon as Nero learnt this he began adapting to the mechs attack patterns. After a few minutes the mech that had frightened him became nothing more than a heap of steel. The people behind the glass window were shocked at how quickly Nero had destroyed the mech. They all remained silent for a while until the doctor spoke up. " As you can see sir his manipulation of dark matter is above that of any being in existence and the power that is concentrated within him is so much that we were worried he would die."
" I'm glad he hasn't he will be perfect for my plans. "
" sir one man won't be able to achieve your plans. "
" no normal man would miss lawson but mr Nero here is gonna prove that wrong "
They watched one as Nero fought more mechs of all shapes and sizes. They watched in awe as his arm began to glowed of purple lightning. Their eyes followed as the electricity bounced from one mech to another destroying them one at a time.
The suited man spoke to the doctor telling him to run his final tests and to install the control chip into Nero. Then he and the woman left the room.
The doctor opened the holographic console next to him a began the final test.
Nero heard the familiar buzzing sound if the panels buzzing around him him but what the panels revealed to him caused him to freeze and he could feel the ice in his chest as he saw this woman that he remembered as.. Mum.
He stood there motionless the woman looked around at her new eyes then fell upon the half naked teen in front of her. " Son? Is that you ?" She asked.
Nero was stunned he had not seen any thing from his old life in many room shifted and a door appeared. The doctor walked in clutching a pistol in his old hands, he walked behind nero's mum. They both soon realised what was going to happen, but while Nero was shocked a glass wall had come Infront of him and his mum, and he was left watching helplessly on the other side.
Nero watched as the doctor pushed his mother onto the ground, he grabbed her hair and yanked it upward so Nero could see his mothers face one last time. As he did this the doctor spoke. " this is the last person in the galaxy who will remember who you are Nero and she just like you will lose you old life."
Nero was trying to contain himself years of isolation and being torn from your family was all being brought up one last time. He began to feel the ice in his chest melt and the replaced by burning hell fire.
The doctor pushed the gun into the back of nero's mums head she began to cry and him her last words to her son were," son don't forget any of this make it drive you don't loose sight of what you have come from." She was cut short as the round slid through her head. Silencing the last person that ever was close to Nero.
On the other side of the glass Nero watched as a little of his mothers blood splattered on the glass keeping him from her.
They had kept him here for years and they thought he could do nothing about it. They were wrong.
Nero recalled all the pain they had caused him, he bunched his fists in rage as it began bubble up Inside him. His eyes changed from a calm ice blue to a blood thirsty red." Raagh" Nero scream in his blood rage and he felt a burning sensation in his arms he watched as fire began to pour out of his hands and onto the white panelled ground. He watched the doctors face turn to one of complete horror as he began to burn though the door that had opened behind him.
The door collapsed from the heat and Nero moved into a cloud of black smoke.
He stepped into a white corridor with armed guards at the end. One looked into his blood red eyes and froze the other recognised him and reached for his radio '
this is an emergency code alpha subject Nero is loose'
he shouted in a panicked voice. The sound of emergency sirens began to ring and Nero grinned as he felt another new sensation travel over his arms and grinned even more when he saw purple electricity flow down his arms and into the guards. He walked over the burning bodies and into the room that had Dr deaths private office. Nero sat down in his seat. And began to read through the doctors experiments.

While Nero was reading the Doc's files he was also creating a digital worm that would tunnel into any system with any of the research program's data in it and destroy it rendering the program useless and making him a ghost."
The floor underneath Nero shook the fire had begun to spread onto other levels of the space station igniteing the stations fuel sources. he knew he had to leave so he activated the worm on the doc's computer and watched it tunnel from file to file on the desktop, to him it was was half amusing but another violent shake got him to start thinking about an exit strategy. He walked out of the office and back into the hall where he spotted people running down stairs he read the floor markings and learnt that they were heading to the docking bay. Nero ducked back into the doc's office and grabbed his lab coat and glasses.
Nero then returned to the hall dresses in black skinny jeans a lab coat and some glasses that darkened a soon as he put them on.
Nero was bolting toward a hangar bay door, he felt his biotics ( the ability to manipulate dark energy to alter the laws if physics) flare up as he bent the door back on its hydraulic saw a black shuttle begin to fly out of the hangar and out into the blackness of space. Nero began to frantically search for another ship and he found one trying to take off. He held his hands out and mentally pushed the ship back down onto the flight deck, as soon as the shuttle touched her ground broke into an all out sprint toward the ship. Nero could not believe his luck when one of the passengers opened the doors to let him in. " come on move it damn it this place it set to blow." Shouted the guy dressed in blue overalls that Nero guessed was the janitor.
Nero reached the shuttles door and was hoisted on board by the janitor and a soldier. "Are you alright not hurt" the African american soldier asked "yeah I'm fine" Nero replied forcing himself not to kill them all right where they stood. " That's good so why were you not on the main transport ship when it left ?" The janitor asked
" I was running Nero protocol" Nero lied
" And what Is that I've never heard of this before " the soldier asked
" I needed to delete all the data we had on Nero for security reasons " Nero said
-" sorry to interrupt but where do you guys need to go ? "- the pilot asked.
"Kevin take us to the citadel " the janitor piped up
Roger hitting the relay in 8 came the instant reply
Civilian shuttle please make your way to docking bay 14 and please enjoy you time on the citadel
When they arrived the janitor stepped out and said to the soldier " i'd like to thank you Mr Taylor for saving my ass back there "
Nero dropped out the door of the shuttle and weaved through the crowds hoping to avoid the soldier questioning him anymore.
Nero had moved out of the docking area and into the busy metropolis that lay before him.

this start is kind of a english creative writing thing so i couldn't make blatant direct links to mass effect (due to plagiarism )which the story is based on so the next chapters will be more detailed i hope.
this is a story that i want you(as the audience) to help write. so give me some feed back as it goes on so i can add some of the things that you would like to see.
Mk11er-cheers for reading.
Ps i know spelling .punctuation and stuff is poor i write most this on the ipad. its kinda had to get it right.
