Hey guys, BioshockerN7 here, with a new story! In this one, it's, you guessed it, A SELF-INSERT! (Sort of)

What gave this idea, you ask? Well, ever since I played Destiny, this idea has been bouncing around my head, so I decided to make it. There's going to be some things you don't see in Destiny, like the inside of your Jumpship. I'd like to list the following stories and authors that inspired me to make this:

Masses to Masses (Inf3ctioNZ)

Mass Vexations (Herr Wozeck)

Welcome to the Family (TheRev28)

Scorpios Legacy (BlackenedAsh24)

Mass Effect: The Odd Ones Out (GIRLIKESTACOS)

If any of you guys are reading this, YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!

Read and review!

Flames will be ignored!

ENJOY!

Disclaimer: I do not own Mass Effect or Destiny.

Mass Effect belongs to Bioware, and Destiny belongs to Bungie. I only own my OCS.


Things weren't always like this.

We used to be normal.

We used to be your average guy, not a care in the world.

But then, that day came.

The day our lives were changed forever.

The day we were split into pieces.

Our real name has been long forgotten.

But this is the story of how we were taken from our home to prepare for war.


Ow.

What happened? Why do I feel so strange? It's like a part of me is missing. Suddenly, I hear a groan next to me as I look only for my eyes to widen.

It was me! Only more muscular. I caught something out of the corner of my eye as I look to see me again, only wearing robes.

"This is a weird dream." I said.

"This is not a dream, Guardian." A voice said as I looked to see what looked like a mini star with an eye. "You are alive, and so are they." he said as suddenly, I was lifted off the ground and slammed into an abandoned car that was completely destroyed.

"Who the hell are you? Why do you look like me?" I heard Muscle ask. I saw Robes getting up as he stared at us. I turned my attention to Muscle as I asked him a question.

"How the hell should I know, I don't remember me being that muscular." I said. Robes then walked toward us.

"Let him go. We should slow things down. Try to find out what happened." he said as I nodded my head. He narrowed his eyes before letting me go.

"Alright, well what do you remember?" he asked me.

"The last thing I remember is starting up Mass Effect. I-"

"Created a new Shepard. Female. Colonist. Sole Survivor. Paragon. Then I-" Robes interrupted.

"Fell asleep and woke up here, feeling like a part of me was missing." Muscle finished. We looked at each other, realization setting in.

We were once the same person.

Suddenly, we heard a loud roar. The star thing looked behind itself then back to us.

"This is Fallen territory. We're not safe out here. By the way, I'm a Ghost, YOUR Ghost actually. So come on." Ghost said disappearing. "Don't worry, I'm still here. I have to get you to the City. Get inside the Wall." he said. We looked at each other.

"I don't remember our original name, so we're going to need new ones." I said as they nodded their heads.

"Call me Will." Robes said.

"I'll take Kyle." Muscle said.

"Call me Adam." I said.

"I didn't bring you back so you could die again. Come on." Ghost said as we nodded our heads and started running toward a ruined wall. As we got further, it got darker.

"I need to find you weapons before the Fallen find us." Ghost said as we continued walking, our footsteps echoing on the rusty floor. Suddenly, we walked into a dark room as a light shined from behind us. "I'm right above you." Ghost said as suddenly, I felt something.

Memories.

Ones I don't remember living.

I saw myself, Kyle, and Will as children being beaten by Batarians in armor.

I saw myself being subjected to experimentation, the man conducting them with a sadistic grin on his face.

I saw a symbol on the wall.

A gold diamond with a curved line on each side.

Cerberus?

I saw myself brutally slamming the scientist's head into a wall.

I saw myself running with Kyle, who was carrying an unconscious Will.

I saw us sneaking onboard a ship.

I saw us in what looked like a futuristic version of Australia.

I saw myself as my current age, carrying a pistol as Will came into our "home" with a couple of credit chits.

I saw Kyle beating up a guy who tried to mug us.

I saw a bunch of people from a gang called the Tenth Street Reds, one of them walking away from whatever they were about to do.

I then saw myself, Will, and Kyle sitting in a graveyard as we looked at what appeared to be gravestones of two people.

My parents.

Then a bright light and everything went black.

What the hell?

Those looked like memories of a life I lived in Mass Effect. But what for? This doesn't look like Mass Effect.

Suddenly, the lights turned on, showing a lot of monsters on a giant pipe.

WE ARE SO DEAD.

"RUN!" Ghost said as we did exactly what he said.

"Here, I found a rifle, one of you grab it!" he said as I picked it up. I saw that it was loaded.

"Okay, let's go!" I said as we once again started running. When we rounded into another hall, a shadow on the other end of the room passed by.

"What was that?" Ghost asked, and I just noticed he'd make chirping sounds when he talked. Suddenly, two creatures dropped in front of us. I immediately aimed the gun and fired.

BANG!

The one on the right fell to the ground, dead from a headshot. My body somehow was used to the recoil. But how?

I heard the other one roar as I aimed at him and dropped him.

I took a deep breath before I realized.

I just killed people.

Sure, they were trying to kill me, but they were living beings; they probably had families. I looked at Kyle and Will as they looked at me. We continued walking. Suddenly, another one dropped down as Kyle stuck out his hand to block an attack, when suddenly blue energy shot out of his hand, sending the creature flying toward a wall, dead before he hit it. Will looked at his hand like he was about to have a panic attack. He then shook his head as we started running. We then saw this weird looking chest.

"It's a Loot Chest, let's see what's inside." Ghost said as Kyle opened the chest and pulled out a shotgun. We then continued walking and saw what looked like-

"Trip mines! Don't touch them." Ghost warned us as we slowly took turns crouching underneath. Suddenly, one of them popped out of the shaft below us as Kyle blasted him to pieces. I then shot a mine as it exploded near a group of them. We then ran into a dark room as more of these creatures came out. We immediately took them out. We then walked outside and saw some space shuttles.

"This was an old cosmodrome. There's got to be something we can use to get out of here." Ghost said.

(Later)

We had stumbled upon a group of Fallen as we saw a ship being guarded by them.

"There it is. Take out the Fallen guarding it." Ghost said as Will tossed what looked like a grenade made from his powers. It immediately exploded once it hit the ground, killing everyone around it. We then looked at the ship as Ghost came out and scanned it.

"It's been here awhile. Hasn't made a jump in centuries. We're lucky the Fallen haven't picked it clean." He said.

"Will she fly?" Kyle asked.

"I can make it work." Ghost said as he disappeared into the ship. Then the ship's engines turned on.

"Okay, it's not going to break orbit, but it might get us to the City. Now about that transmat…" Suddenly, roars were heard as we turned to see Fallen approaching. We prepared to fight.

"Bringing you in!" Ghost said as my vision turned blue. Then I reappeared inside a metal room.

"We can come back for them when you're ready. Let's get you home." Ghost said as I felt the ship take off. I then looked at Kyle and Will as we sat on the floor.

Our lives were taken from us. Now, we had new ones to live.

(15 Years Later)

"How we doing, Kyle?" I asked as our jumpship, the Nebuchadnezzar was preparing to leave the City. My appearance had changed since waking up on Earth. I now wore an all-black set of light-armor as well as a cloak and mask. I carried a Thorn hand cannon and a Strange Suspect pulse rifle. (The appearance looks like the Hunter from the Live Action trailer)

"Warp drive is online, thrusters are good, weapons, you even need to ask how we're doing?" he said jokingly through the intercom. "By the way, Will is once again in his library. You wanna pull him away or should I?" he asked. I shook my head. How Will had managed to put a library's worth of books in his room, I will never know. I guess that comes with him being a Voidwalker Warlock, always trying to understand everything. Either way, I walked down the halls to his room as the doors opened. Will's appearance had changed over the years. His outfit was black robes with small white stripes. He wore green armor underneath and his helmet now had a gold plate around it. Gold shoulder-plates, gauntlets (Warlock Wiki page, the first picture you see) and carried a Hawkmoon hand cannon and Super Pox VLO pulse rifle.

"Will, we're about to jump." I said as he looked at me then back at his book as he closed it. We then proceeded to walk up to the pilot chamber where Kyle was. Kyle had gotten full white body armor as well as a red piece of cloth on his right hip and became a Striker Titan. (Think the Titan picture you first see on its Wiki page) He also became the Nebuchadnezzar's usual pilot. He carried a SG-Scattercast shotgun and a Last Word hand cannon. He looked back at us and smiled since his helmet was next to him.

"What took you guys so long? I was about to take off before you strapped in." he said as we sat down and strapped in.

"You know you wouldn't." I said as Will looked at the controls.

"I think he was being serious this time." Hydra-78 said.

Hydra is an Exo Guardian, or a robot developed by this reality's humanity, with red eyes, and a normal Exo face; he carried a Sahara AR3 automatic rifle and a Regulator Mk. 43 hand cannon. He was a Titan, like Kyle but he was a Defender. His armor looked like Kyle's, only it was red and black.

"Weapons primed, thrusters at full capacity, engines operational, Warp drive, activated. Let's go." He said as Kyle took the ship out of the City.

"Engaging Warp drive in three…two…one." Kyle said as the view in front of us flashed white before turning black.

"So, where are we going?" Will asked as Kyle looked at him.

"We're heading to the Moon. Apparently there's something Ghost wants us to investigate." He said as Ghost appeared in front of us.

"Yeah, and let's hope we don't run into any of the Hive like last time." He said looking at Kyle, who turned red in embarrassment.

"That was only one time! One time!" he said as I shook my head, remembering the last time we went to the Moon. Suddenly, something flashed on the scanners.

"Again?" Kyle asked.

"What?" I asked.

"For the past few days, I've been getting these weird energy spikes. They look to be random, but they keep appearing every time we jump. I thought it was just the Warp drive letting out some energy, but it's still happening, even after I upgraded it." Kyle said as I looked at the scanner again.

"That has to be beyond randomness." Severo Sortolo said.

Severo is an Awoken Guardian, and a Sunsinger Warlock. He had bluish-grey skin like all Awoken, and his eyes were grey, and his hair was short and silver. He wore brown robes and had dull grey armor underneath. He carried an Unwilling Soul-09 automatic rifle and a Searcher Mk. 20 hand cannon.

Suddenly our alarms went off as the ship started shaking.

"What the hell's happening?" Will asked as Kyle struggled to balance the ship.

"We're being pushed out of the jump!" he said as suddenly, the view became black with stars. Our windows were flashy for a second before it cleared and we saw...

The SSV Normandy?

"Uh, unidentified ship, this is SSV Normandy, you got a name or do I have to give you one myself?" Joker asked.

"Oh, hell no, you ain't naming my baby!" Kyle said back to him.

"Kyle!" I said. I then pressed the comm.

"This is the Nebuchadnezzar, what is going on?" I asked.

"Well, Morpheus, Eden Prime is under attack! We sent a ground team to deal with it, but we haven't heard from them." Joker said. Okay, now we're in Mass Effect. Gotta be quick on my thoughts.

"We'll head down there and try to find them. Guardian out." I said. Kyle then proceeded to fly the Nebuchadnezzar down to the surface.

"So, now we're in the world of the game you called Mass Effect, correct?" Severo asked. I nodded my head.

"Yep. And we're at the planet that starts the series, we gotta help them." I said as Hydra nodded his head.

"What are we waiting for, then?" he asked.

"Alright, here's the thing, we're going to go down there and we're gonna help Shepard, got it?" I asked.

"Got it." They all said; Hydra and Severo were shocked when we told them about our universe, but they took it surprisingly well, and we occasionally told them about the things we had for entertainment. I then saw the grass environment that was destroyed by this invasion.

"Ghost, drop us out." I said as we disappeared from the ship and appeared on the ground. Suddenly, my HUD showed hostiles as we turned around to see over 5-dozen Geth.

"Well, now it's a party." Will said.

"Isn't it always?" Severo asked.

"Music?" Ghost asked, appearing beside me.

"Hmm…why not? Let's go with something…classical." I said as we started running.

(Play C Calhoun – Shake, Rattle, and Roll)

I fired three shots from my rifle, destroying the shields of one Geth unit and taking it's eye out, making it fall to the ground. I then drew a knife as I threw it into the eye of another, killing it instantly as I drew my pistol. I then pulled the hammer back, making the pistol glow as I fired a shot. It immediately took out a Geth unit as it fell to the ground. One flew past me, courtesy of Will's power. I heard a shotgun blast as I looked to see Kyle aiming it at me. I looked behind me to see a Geth fall to the ground. Hydra charged by in a sprint as he tackled a bunch of Geth. Severo jumped over me as he landed on a Geth unit and put several bullets into its head. I smiled as I started to sing.

"I said SHAKE, RATTLE, AND ROLL! I said SHAKE, RATTLE, AND ROLL!" I sung as I decided to end it.

"KYLE, FIST OF HAVOC! HYDRA, WARD OF DAWN!" I said as they nodded their heads and jumped up in the air and smashed his hands to the ground, making a shockwave that destroyed the rest, but was harmless against us, as Hydra had put up an indestructible shield around us. When the dust cleared, we looked at each other. We nodded our heads.

That was fun.

(End C. Calhoun – Shake, Rattle, and Roll)

Suddenly, I heard guns being trained on us. I turned around to see a woman in N7 armor, a woman in pink and white armor, and a man in black armor. I immediately recognized them.

"Who are you guys?" Commander Shepard asked. I lowered my rifle, but didn't drop it, as I signaled the others to do the same. They did.

"Commander, those weapons and powers, I've never seen them before, this could be a first contact situation." Kaidan Alenko said. I shook my head as I looked at him.

"First contact? Looks more like hostile contact." I said, extending my hand.

"Adam Jameson. Guardian. These are my brothers, Kyle and Will. And this is Hydra-78 and Severo Sortolo." I said pointing to each of them. "You?"

"I'm Commander Patricia Shepard, Alliance Navy. This is Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko, and Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams. You have any idea what's going on here?" she asked, shaking my hand. I shook my head.

"We're as confused as you. We just got here. What's going on?" I asked.

"The colony is under attack by Geth." Shepard said.

"The Geth? But they haven't been outside the Perseus Veil in over three hundred years." I said, pretending to not know everything that is to come.

"You mind if we tag along? I don't know about you, but I'm not letting them get away with this." I said as she stared at me for a second before nodding her head.

"You five look like you know what you're doing. Come on." She said.

We then proceeded to move as we got to where the beacon was "supposed" to be.

"This is the dig site. The beacon was right here. It must have been moved." Ashley said.

"By who? Our side, or the Geth?" Kaidan asked.

"Who knows? Either way, we need to find it." Kyle said.

"Come on. Lets keep going." Shepard said. We then got up to the camp. We saw the Husks lower themselves just as Will threw a Vortex Grenade. A small vortex was created, trapping the Husks as they tried to get out, each falling to the ground dead once the vortex disappeared. When we turned to the others, their jaws were on the floor.

"What the hell was that?" Ashley asked.

"Will is a Voidwalker. The laws of space and time don't bind his powers. Besides, there's more where that came from." I said, smirking as their eyes widened. Kyle then walked up to the door and immediately punched it, his armor's abilities denting it. He punched it again, and again, and again. The door finally broke. He then ripped it off as he motioned the Alliance soldiers to go in. They walked in and proceeded to talk to the scientists as we decided to contact Ghost.

"Ghost, you there?" I asked.

"Yes, why?" he asked.

"Send in our Sparrows." I said as our ground vehicles that we would normally use to explore the environments of the planets we visited materialized from below us. I saw Kaidan take a peek through the door and his eyes widened.

"What the hell are those?" he asked as Ashley and Shepard looked as well, their reactions the same as Kaidan's.

"Where did those come from?" Shepard asked, her eyes narrowing in suspicion.

"Our ship." Will cryptically responded.

"Get on, we'll get there quicker." I said as Kaidan got on Will's, Ashley on Kyle's, and Shepard on mine. We then proceeded to speed through the forest, the spaceport quickly coming to view. Husks started charging toward us, as we spun our Sparrows so that our passengers could aim at them. Assault rifles fired in a 360 spin as the Husks and Geth all fell from this tactic.

"This is amazing! This stuff looks more advanced then our technology, where did you find these?" Kaidan said, fascinated with our tech. We then got off the Sparrows as the Alliance soldiers did the same thing. Our Sparrows then disappeared back to our ship. To say they were shocked again would be an understatement.

"Trade secret." We all said. "Come on, the spaceport is just over there." I said pointing in the direction we needed to go, then I saw it.

Sovereign.

"What is that?" Kaidan asked.

"It's a ship! Look at the size of it!" Ashley said. I said nothing as I stared at the Reaper vanguard.

Suddenly, I heard something.

"YOUR PRESCENCE HERE CHANGES NOTHING. YOU CANNOT STOP THE CYCLE." The emotionless, uncaring voice of Nazara said in my head, I noticed Kyle, Will, Hydra, and Severo gripping their heads. They must have heard it too. Luckily, Shepard and the others didn't notice as we continued walking. When we got to Nihlus' body, I walked looked toward the crates as I aimed my rifle.

"Come out before things get ugly." I said. Powell then slowly rose up as he held up his hands.

"Don't shoot, I'm one of you, I'm human!" he said as I tuned out the conversation to think.

We're no longer in the reality of the Traveler. We need a backstory. Either way, this would be easier if the rest of the Guardians were here. I felt someone shaking me as I looked to see Kyle looking at me.

"Adam, come on." He said. I nodded my head and ran after them. When we got on the train, I signaled my fellow Guardians to do a shell count. We reloaded our weapons; in which Ashley, Shepard and Kaidan looked at us.

"You reload your weapons?" Ashley asked.

"Yep. There a problem with that?" I asked.

"No, it's just that we haven't had to do that since Pre-Relay time." Kaidan said.

"Well, these guns are a special case." I said. We then saw the bombs.

"Alenko, disarm the bombs! Williams, Adam, Kyle, Hydra, cover him! Will, Severo, with me!" Shepard said as she ran up the ramp with our two Warlocks following her. I immediately lay down some covering fire for Kaidan as he disarmed the bomb. We then moved on to the others. After disarming the rest, I decided to show off. I jumped down to the center as I drew my Thorn and shot a round into a Husk, the second shot crippling its shields, I then placed a third in, killing it instantly. I spun around and threw a knife into the eye of a Geth unit, killing it instantly as I aimed my Thorn at another unit, and after three shots, it fell to the ground. I turned around, only to be tackled by a Husk. The thing looked a lot freakier up close. Suddenly, a shot rang as the Husk flew to the side. I looked to see Ashley with her sniper rifle, smirking. I then saw a hand as I looked to see Will. I took his hand as he helped me up. I then looked to see the Prothean beacon.

"This is amazing! Actual working Prothean technology!" Kaidan said.

"It wasn't doing anything like that when they dug it up." Ashley said as she approached the beacon. Suddenly, a pulse emerged from the beacon as she started to slide toward it. I looked back to Shepard. She's still talking.

Well, fuck me.

I immediately sprint towards Ashley as I grab her and throw her out of the way, but now I'm stuck. Great.

"Adam!" I heard voices say as I felt hands grab mine. I look to see Severo on my right, and Hydra on my left. Suddenly, my feet were lifted off the ground, and images filled my brain as I heard Kyle and Will scream.

Death

Screaming

Citadel.

Flesh being melted.

Machinery replacing flesh.

Death

Screaming

Citadel.

Flesh being melted.

Machinery replacing flesh.

DEATH!

SCREAMING!

CITADEL!

FLESH BEING MELTED!

MACHINERY REPLACING FLESH!

Suddenly, the images stopped as I see the beacon explode, making my vision blur as I hit the ground. The last thing I saw was Ghost appearing in front of me.

"Adam! Adam are you…"

There we go! Destiny Effect is in! Now you're probably wondering, why did I get the vision? Well, my fragments and friends need a reason to be on Shepard's crew; so, I had the beacon plant the vision into them instead of Shepard. You're probably thinking, these guys are Gary Stu's or too OP. Don't worry, there will be times when they fuck up, like some flashbacks of their time in Destiny. Either way, let me know what you think in the reviews or PM me. BioshockerN7 out.
