Mass Effect: The Battle
AN: Allo people, this is JSamT (or Teller if you prefer) coming to tell you that this story is a direct sequel to my two previous tales of adventure but if you don't have any knowledge on; 'The Big Score' or 'The Road' then don't fret because this story should cover it. Any constructive criticism is appreciated and thank you for any support to be shown. I also apologize to any if my tale causes trouble of any kind. It's unintentional, I promise you. ~Teller
Prologue -
The journey of the road was long but Spack soon discovered the origins of the world he had called home, the one he came to consider as the only place he'd rather be. He had to leave it behind to save those he had cared for and admired, the cost was to start anew in a new reality of which he could not comprehend. Discovering a new world, he learned of a species like no other, one of which could wipe out all species in the galaxy and nobody could stop it. The Reapers. Though can all races aligned stop a race which can eliminate all life and had done so 50,000 years ago? Can the people from all over the galaxy stop this threat? Will it win?
Chapter 1 – Re-Born into Revolution
Spack gazed out the window, a massive war vessel like no other was heading their direction.
Spack: I may not know what's going on here but that's obviously not a good sign.
Mysterious Creature: No, it's not.
Spack: What are you anyway?
Mysterious Creature: Listen, you'll have your answers when we're done here but for now you must trust us. What do you want us to do, Captain?
Spack: I have no fucking clue, you think of something.
Mysterious Creature: Prepare evasive manoeuvres!
The ship swerved to the right as a large red beam flew from the vessel. The beam moved to the right very quickly and tore through half the ship.
Mysterious Creature: Shit! We can't stay here. Captain, lead the soldiers to the escape pods; go down those stairs and following the blinking green lights!
Spack: Alright. Come on!
Spack ran with the crew down the stairs, he was wearing some sort of battle armour and so were his crew. He leaped through the ship's wreckage and into the next area. Finding the escape pods, Spack let everyone inside but another attack was launched and triggered the escape pod to go off. Spack noticed another one not far and made his way to that, he opened the door and entered. All he saw were flashing buttons.
Spack: Fuck! Which button do I press?
Spack gazed at a green button which said "Start" and pressed it instantly.
Spack: Ah. I feel stupid now.
Gazing out the window, Spack drew his attention to the vessel, a large black warship resembling the figure of a squid.
Spack: What the fuck is that?
Eventually he had entered a random planet's atmosphere, the pod crashed down as hard as it could and smashed into pieces. Spack was unconscious...
Unknown Woman: Rest easy now..
Spack: What? Who are you?
Unknown Woman: I am Stella.
Spack: You're... blue.
Stella: Most Asari are.
Spack: Asari?
Stella: Us Asari are the most powerful and respected species in Citadel space. We were the first species to discover the largest thing the Protheans left behind when they vanished. The Citadel...
Spack: I don't know what that is.
Stella: Who are you?
Spack: I am Spack Jarrows and I... and I...
Spack felt a kind of fright and terror that he's never seen before. A particularly large alien; a shoulder hump which was particularly large, over 7 feet it'd appear and looked as though it could weigh more than one tonne.
Unknown Creature: What? You've never seen a Krogan before?
Spack: I don't know what that is.
Krogan: I am Bella and I am Krogan, we're made to hunt, to fight and to kill. You humans are weak and pitiful; I could crush you like a pissant.
Spack: So you're female?
Stella: Yes, Bella and I are twins you see...
Spack: I could ask how that works but I don't want to know the details.
Stella: I also called for a shuttle evacuation; it'll return you to the citadel.
Bella: Good, now what brings you onto our beautiful planet?
Spack: At first I was in a ship and then I was gunned down, some sort of machine-vessel thing.
Stella: A reaper? Here? Oh no, please goddess don't let it come here.
Spack: Reaper?
Stella: They've been wiping out organic life to centuries now, every 50,000 years. Though that's only what the news feed says.
Spack: How long until the evacuation shuttle gets here?
Stella: Shouldn't be too long, by the time you walk there it should have come already.
Spack: And the Reaper?
Stella: I don't-
An explosion and scream could be heard from a nearby building.
Bella: They're here! Grab a weapon.
The twins grabbed their weapons and left the building. Spack followed them; he saw the same machine preparing for an attack. He leapt to the left and ran as the beam was behind him. Vaulting over a fence, he followed the two women into a jungle.
Spack: Wait, what's that noise?
The three looked behind and saw some strange looking humans. Seemed as though they had been transformed into machines.
Bella: Get shooting!
Spack pulled out a strange looking gun and fired, one by one those things fell and eventually it was just the three once more.
Stella: There's the evacuation station, but it's crawling with Geth.
Spack: Guess we can't go around them?
