Starcraft is the property of Blizzard.

Halo is the property of Microsoft.

Ok this chapter will begin with a little note clarifying somethings, and also if you haven't read the first part of my story please go do that and then come back here, Otherwise you will be missing a big part of the story and will be a little confused about some things.

[Ellen and Psionic powers]

1. My idea for Ellen is more a dark hero who cares for others but isn't cliche and all goody goody in helping everyone but is a combination of pessimist, optimist and realist and a little sadistic but she's completely aware of that part of her selfe only using it against others who she views as worthy of seeing it. That part of her hasn't seen much screen time... yet.

2. Valkyrur like Ellen and Aliasse can make their psionic energy into a solid form with mass [Aura] and shape it into anything they can imagine. The Protoss can also do this to a limited extent like with [plasma shields] or [Hallucinations] although that one is very weak.

3. In my story Psionic and Psychic powers are different, similar but different, the details will be explained much later in the story... maybe sooner?.

4. Ellen is not infested yet, however it will happen later in the story. Ellen simply received the Zerg ability to metabolize creep and Hydrogen which is the second evolution she has gone through, her devouring Azrumath's essence was the third and their will be others. And yes more people will be infested haven't got the details hammered out yet.

5. Ellen's red aura and Valkyrur body allows her to absorb and evolve by devouring and copying psionic energy and powers. This is the psionic based counterpart to how the Zerg devour and evolve from biological essence.

6. I plan on making the psionic abilities of the Protoss a little stronger then in the games and also the Tal'darim's psionic powers were a little weak because of their separation from the Immaterium its beings.

[Story]

1. The Halo and Starcraft timelines will be a little different then in cannon because of the combined universe's and Ellen's and Aliasse's actions. Also for those of you who have read the Halo books Contact Harvest. The fall of Reach, The flood and the first few chapters of of First strike, they are cannon with my story however you should consider their story's are altered a bit or a lot in my universe and Ghosts of Onyx as never happened because of the presence of the Zerg causing changes to how the UNSC operates and develops the Spartan programs.

2. The events of Brood war will also be a little different because the UED does not exist, however the UNSC and Earth will still send a expedition and I will be doing a few things differently by adding a new faction to the war, Gerard Duhalle and Alexei Stukov will be in my story only their UNSC officer's.

[RWBY]

1. To unknown Guest, For some reason your review didn't show up on the fanfiction site for a week but I did get it on my E mail... weird huh?. Anyway to answer your question I will be infesting people hear and there I got stuff planned and I already have a idea on saving Summer Rose, I'll also be changing some of the story, mostly after season 3 and the fall of Beacon. I haven't watched any of the seasons after that as I plan on binge watching the whole RWBY seires when I finish the broodwar part of my story.

Also consider Halo as the primary timeline and starcraft timeline as secondary.

[Dimensions]

The real world, our world, Halo, Starcraft, RWBY and a little of warhammer 40k makes up this universe all of it formed by that higher dimensional being who will mostly be in the back round watching at least up to a point.

Also the Fractal-verse is my own idea of a level of reality beyond a multiverse. Think every subatomic atom is a multiverse of different possible universes from any work of fiction TV, movies, games, books then fill a universe with them and then mix and match them together into different combinations infinitely and that's a basic idea of the Fractal-verse.

Beings like the higher dimensional one at the end of the end chapter of Arch 1 do the mixing and matching as thats their purpose. So their the same as us writing fanfiction, in that regard. ONLY REAL!.

[Chapter 1]

[Return of the Swarm part 1]

Planet Reach

Epsilon Eridani system

May, 1st, 2213

After the first manned expedition to Mars discovered the Forerunner warpgate in 2020 Aliasse revealed that the Swarm empress had informed her of its existence and that the world it connected to was a gift. After five years of sending probes it was confirmed that the planet could be terraformed and made livable for humans. After that there was a massive push from the scientific community to terraform the planet and after Earths united governments talked over the costs and technology required for the venture the whole of humanity put its collective resource's into the massive project. Luckily the planet was in the green zone of the sun with a moon and had large bodys of water like oceans that made the planet very much like Earth only it didn't have much life on it other then a few species of flora, fauna and microbes but nothing like the diversity of life on Earth. Scientist sent to the planet looked at the fossil records of the soil discovering evidence that the planet had been hit by a mass extinction event just a hundred thousand years before and was only just recovering from the massive amounts of dust that had filled the atmosphere. Earth itself had been hit by similar mass extinction events and life took a million or more of years to fully recover from each event.

Humanity saw the chance to spread to other worlds and the newly formed UEG(United Earth Government) spent the next ten years just building up space infer-structure on and in orbit of Earth the moon and Mars to support all the ships that would transport resources and technology needed for the colonist while scientists developed inoculations for the existing flora and fauna on Earth and the new planet so their immune systems could adapt to each others microbes as humanity was becoming more aware of its impact on other lifeforms and did not want a repeat of when Europeans came to north America and killed untold numbers of natives just from their diseases alone. Over the course of the next hundred years as humans spread throughout the Sol-system building up larger colonies on Earths moon Luna, Mars and the cave network found under the surface of Titan as well as other planets, moons and asteroid's the planet on the other side of the warpgate way was slowly made more like Earth as new forests of genetically modified plants spread across its surface producing oxygen, it was finally declared habitable for human life. Hundreds of colony ships departed from Earth to Mars traveling through the warp gateway to the new world landing on its surface and building up a new city named Esztergom that would later become the capital of the planet. The planet was then named by the first settlers 'Reach' because it was the first world outside of the solar system that humanity had reached and would be the gateway to the rest of the galaxy.

Aliasse weakly blinked her eyes open as the incessant beeping roused her from sleep.

Even after two hundred years the simple alarm clock is still as annoying as ever. Aliasse gave a tired sigh as she reached over and turned the clock off.

"Good morning Lady Aliasse," a disembodied women's voice said.

Aliasse,s body moved on instinct remembering all the other times the AI had awoken her some times with loud music or even by lowering the beds temperature and comfort settings. "Good morning Calypso," Aliasse replied stretching her arms getting out of bed.

Normally citizen's aren't allowed the use of a smart A.I. in their daily activities let alone the AI hooked up to every computer system in Reach's capital city, Aliasse however is not just any citizen as she holds the rank and duty of Observer, a social rank and position first suggested by Ellen before she and her swarm left the Sol-system. A Observer is someone who looks at Humanity's use of technology, activities with it and how they affect the environment and the everyday life,s of the population as a whole among other factors and gives advice or warnings to leaders of both the governments and corporations to ensure a stable and safe society and to make sure that technology and the environment is not abused. Now a-days AI's help Observers in their duty's as the pairing of a AI and a human is the normal set up of Observers as one has vast mental processing abilities and the other gives a human perspective and opinion on the matters discussed.

"I've prepared the newest date files for you " the AI said.

"Thank you, I'll get to them in a bit" Aliasse replied as she walked to the middle of her bedroom and gave some yoga stretches.

"Weather reports say it's going to be a warm day in the morning but a little hot in the evening."

Aliasse gave a sigh as she walked to the bathroom removing her nightgown."It's been a while since we got any rain" She said more as a question.

After a short pause the AI answered." Forecasts say it will rain in two weeks."

"That's good to hear," Aliasse replied as she entered the shower, after shutting the door the preset controls of the shower poured warm water from the faucet head soon after the glass walls of the shower were fogging up from the steam.

"How are the projections for the next century," Aliasse yelled over the noise of rushing water.

"They look good by your standards. However I think the development of faster then light travel technology will be delayed by budget cuts to such high energy and physics research. If this continues the development of FTL tech will be delayed by a hundred years."

"Calypso send a request for a appointment to meet with the president."

"Done," the AI replied.

Aliasse exited the shower drying off, she took a moment to wipe off the fogged up mirror, within she saw the reflection of a young 20 something women with red eyes and long sliver hair extending down to her waist.

Aliasse comed her long hair putting it into a single long braid then she put on a white dress with multicolored neon lines along its shoulders and down its lower sides, a example of the style and tech of the modern era. After getting herself clothed Aliasse made herself up some breakfast and started her morning work in the living room. Being an Observer meant that she had to look through a ton of reports that included information on anything from crime rates, the size of the population and city growth rates, social media, the average scores of students in all grades of school, geology and weather reports to even how much waste organic and inorganic is produced and recycled every year but that's where the smart AI Calypso comes in as she's able to look through millions of such reports and combe through vast amounts of date on any subject of interest in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take Aliasse or any of the other human Observers and distill it into a simple to understand date chart or map.

After spending a few hours doing her normal work Aliasse glanced at the clock remembering she had something pressing to discuss with the president of Reach.

Aliasse put on her shoes and headed out the door and into a large open space shaped like a roofed bowl, three story high apartment buildings ringing around a center park area, both separated by a side walkway and thick crisscrossing support columns and archways all curving around in a circle indicating that the giant building which was at least three hundred fifty feet wide was round in shape instead of being square like last century architecture.

Aliasse walked down the curving street and used the elevator to descend to a lower level parking lot where she took one of the many cars public cars. Aliasse closed the door telling the cars simple AI her destination. Slowly it backed up and drove off.

Public transportation cars like it were a common sight now a days as the era of personal cars and vehicles was mostly ended its far more efficient and less wasteful of resources to have transport vehicles that are available for everyone's use instead of everyone having their own private cars, many people still own cars, boats, and even space yachts and ships but its not as common as in the 21 century.

The self driving car exited the building onto a elevated overpass that spiraled around the lower base of the massive white building colored like the rest of the city and the roadways to reflect light away and reduce the energy cost of keeping the city cool in the summer or any hot day while also being covered in a solar energy absorbing molecular paint that can convert 42% of the suns energy into usable power like all the photovoltaic glass thats all over the city.

As the car joined many other vehicles on the elevated four lane highway Aliasse looked out at the expansive city still mareavling at the size and scale of it all.

A forest of hundreds of white skyscrapers stretched out before her, their smooth formes curving 2000 feet upwards from their rounded base to the sky, broken only by windows and gaps in between the main floors that holds a large garden like the one Aliasse lives in, all of this surrounded by a sea green trees stretching out in all directions. Some buildings arranged together and connected at the base by a wide circlier five story tall building with a park or garden in its inner area while other buildings were lined in rows of long wide structures both their sides lined with large terrace's some apartment's others gardens and hugging close to all of the buildings were elevated highways and maglev monorails that criss crossed around the city like a spider web all of it built from polycrete (polymer-concrete) and neosteel which was a mete material that's a composite of at least three different elements and was seven times stronger then steel and was the same wight.

The car continued down the elevated highway as it became straighter passing rows of more giant buildings with terraced floors offset from each other forming a double or triple spiral helix shape with each floor consisting of hydroponic or Aquaponics gardens which is a system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. In normal aquaculture systems, waste excretions from the animals being raised can accumulate in the water, increasing toxicity. In an aquaponic system, water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by nitrifying bacteria initially into nitrites and then into nitrates that are utilized by the plants as nutrients. The water is then recirculated back to the aquaculture system which as a whole creates a far more efficient and sustainable food source for large populations or isolated habitats like space colony's or even starships.

Others buildings had other odd shapes like giant archways with terraces along their top, inner and outer sides holding apartments and gardens. Most of the buildings stood one thousand five hundred feet high while others were shorter with a large roof gardens and helipads on top. All buildings on Reach and Earth were now mostly specialised in either housing, food production, education, scientific labs or even manufacturing and storage or even generalized in all six. The manufacturing and storage on the ground or underground levels with housing, schools and food production and science labs in higher levels.

As her self driving car continued down the congested highway Aliasse looked down to the large patches of green grass and tall trees below that were overshadowed by the buildings and elevated roadway as the sun moved slowly up into the sky. Small forests and open fields and in some places small lakes filled the open areas between all of the buildings, almost all of the ground level of the city was covered in such green public parks and blue lakes with elevated over passes and monorails like the one Aliasse was on built along their edges.

After a few minutes of driving Aliasse finally caught sight of her destination a thousand two hundred feet high building that split into two towers at its middle that was constructed near the warpgate at the center of the city of Esztergom which like always was swarmed by groups of small and large aircraft going and coming from the warpgate and the surrounding spaceports in alternating groups as the gate can only be used one way or the other at any given moment otherwise there could be mid air collisions.

Minute's later Aliasse's car reached the building which served as the capital building of Reach resting only a few miles from the warpgate and space ports. The car pulled off the main road and into a cavernous underground parking lot full of hundreds of others vehicles. Aliasse walked through some security checkpoints and took a few elevators before reaching the office of the president near the top floor and was quickly ushered in by a aide. As she entered Aliasse took in the 360 degree view of the city displayed on the panoramic windows.

"Ah good morning miss Aliasse," greeted a older woman in her forties as she turned from her digital paper work displayed on her desk.

"Good morning to you president Cynthia," Aliasse replied with a smile shaking the lady presidents hand and sitting down.

The miss president gave a relieved sigh. "So what is it that brings you to me today?"president Cynthia asked.

"Its about the decreasing funds for FTL research."

"Hmm I see its probably some of the politicians back on Earth becoming complacent over the colonizing of Reach and the Epsilon Eridani system. I understand that developing a Faster then light technology is important so i'll talk with the President and security council of the UEG. Anyway... miss Aliasse will you attend Reach's anniversary celebration. I've heard you had have a been... hesitant considering the end of this year is the end of the two hundred year calm the zerg promised."

"Yes it does... I've been preparing both myself and humanity for two hundred years for this," Aliasse said with a touch of nostalgia as the lady president hummed in response.

"I understand. The whole reason my campaign to become president of Reach was a success is because the people believed I could better protect them from the Zerg attack we all know is fast approaching, perhaps at the end of the year?."

"Having served ten years in the UNSC and achieving the rank of lieutenant also helped," stated Calypso joining in the conversation. "Also madame president construction of the last group of orbital MAC cannons have been completed as of just a few minutes ago."

"Thank you Calypso," the president said as she glanced up to nothing. "If you could be so kind as to show us."

One of the windows became opaque and dark displayed a image of a long structure in orbit with two rings at its middle and rear side facing away from the planet that was visible in the bottom right of the image with three more structures like it lined up in the back round.

"So thats the new orbital defense system," Aliasse said studying the image.

"The new MAC cannon defense satellites have one main electromagnetice cannon with two docking rings both of which hold eight twin linked laser cannons, ten archer pods each holding thirty missile's and two docking bays," Calypso explained.

"That's a lot of firepower. How many are in orbit?" Aliasse asked turning to the madam president.

"Around one hundred, However Earth has double that number."

"I just hope they work... we don't know how the Zerg have changed over the past two hundred years?" Aliasse said.

"Miss Aliasse." president Cynthia said as the image faded and the window became transparent again."There was another reason for you coming today other then talking about budgets and Reaches defenses?"

Aliasse sighed."Yes... lately when i've meditated before going to bed i've been sensing other psionic presence's around Reach. At first I thought it may have been Zerg or even the swarm empress herself scouting the planet but that wasn't the case. When I went looking for them I just found normal teenagers going about their day at school."

The president's expression changed to one of interest on the subject. "So you think members of the population are developing psionic powers like you."

"Yes... however they are still very weak and probably not able to manifest their powers yet, and there aren't many of them maybe only a handful on the whole planet."

"Do you have any ideas as to how or why this is happening?"

Aliasse took a few moments to collect her memory's and thoughts."Maybe the people who are developing these powers are descendents of Riela and the other girls who were given psionic powers artificially during the war two hundred years ago."

"I see that could explain things."President Cynthia mumbled crossing her arms. "I've read the documents concerning the experiment's of the Jaeger Pharmaceutical company from back then, but I never thought the descendents of those girls would develop their own powers."

"Perhaps it simply took many generations for such people to develop these abilities." Calypso added putting her two cents into the conversation.

"Maybe... miss Aliasse if you could help us on this matter it would be greatly appreciated."

"Of course madam president, I first suggest taking blood samples of the people I found and trying to find the genes responsible for these powers and also try to teach those people how to properly use their powers if they are even strong enough to create psionic effects. If the number of people that can use such abilities increases it could cause... problems, and that's not even taking discrimination into consideration."

The madam president listened to every word Aliasse said already going through the worst case scenarios in her head. "If word of people with supernatural powers became public it would cause a panic or worse... we need to handle this carefully, these psionically gifted people could be a great asset in the not just the war with the Zerg but could be the next evolution of the human race."

The thought peaked Aliasse's interests and she started thinking of maybe forming a school for such people.

Planet Reach

Epsilon Eridani system

June, 12th, 2213

Aliasse worked with Calypso for a month to iron out the details of building an academy and the protocols for finding and training people with any degree of psionic power as well as simulating the social, economic and cultural changes that will surely follow the public becoming aware of humans with such powers. The work went slowly but that was mainly because there were only a hand full of people with a small hint of psionic power and they have yet to awaken to their own powers.

However their awakening was sooner then anyone could predict.

Along the eastern coastline of Reach's main continent set in between the shadow of a small mountain range and the ocean rested the small coastal city of Aldiss home to 21,116 people. A few hundred meters off the coast floated a few dozen white domed agriculture platformes the size of a five story building each with terraces along the domes for growing food and the under belly of the structure was lined with three concentric rings each of dozens of jellyfish like ribbons that generate electric power from the tidal forces and ocean currents.

"See ya later mom!" a young girl said as she left home for school.

The weather was calm and sunny as she made her way to the parking lot just a few blocks from her family's apartment building. After reaching a car she sighted a boy walking up to her, one of her neighbors a classmate and her friend, she waved to him and they both hopped into one of the public transport cars. The auto driver handled the driving as neither of them had their driving licenses yet. The auto driving car drove through the town along the coastline to Brandson High school. The school rested at the edge of Aldiss on a smalla mile long and half a mile wide peninsula.

After reaching their school the car drove off and the two high schoolers entered the school grounds.

"Ah I hate these random tests," the girl cried as they walked through the main courtyard dotted with other students arriving.

"Heh heh like your the only one, I barley passed the last one, at least your good at math," the boy replied as they went through the front doors followed by the other student's."You want to catch that new movie at the theater tomorrow?" he asked.

The girl hummed to herself thinking it over. "I don't think so I have to do some family stuff and it could get ugly if dad finds out I ditched his little family camping trip."

"Your whole family still go's on that yearly camping trip every year?"

"Yes, every year," she answered with a sigh.

"Well I guess we can go after you get back," the boy suggested as they turned into their classroom.

The rest of the day was the normal everyday classes followed by club activities, gardening in the schools hydroponics garden which produces some of the food the students eat. Then there's painting class, and a little music class. A little later the girl and her classmates were in the middle of their gym class doing a variety of exercises working up a sweet, and after that they had a game of dodgeball with the class students being split into two teams.

The game was going well... for the other team as another one of their teammates was smacked by the rubber ball and was knocked out of the game.

"Ahh i'm not gonna be on the losing team again," the girl said to herself as her so called friend on the opposing team grinned at her being a show off and spinning the ball on his finger.

The boy passed the ball to one of his team mates and he then passed it to another team member trying to keep the opposing team off guard. As the girl watched the ball get passed around she remembered how in previous games she flinched and let the ball hit her, but not this time, this time she was focused and determined to win.

Suddenly her friend grabbed the ball out of thin air and throw it at her, reflexively she held up her hands keeping her eyes on the ball as it flew at her but suddenly the ball stopped and floated mere inches from her hands as it spun like crazy.

"Wat the hell?!" she thought as she moved her hands to grip the ball, Instentley the ball flew in the opposite direction and hit her friend right in the stomach dropping him like a rock as the air was forced out of his lungs and he lay there gasping for breath.

"Ah sorry!" was the only words she could get out before she felt the glaring eyes of everyone on her.

As this went on a small drone no bigger then a fly watched from one of the windows.

Meanwhile in Reaches capital city Esztergom.

In a resturant

Aliasse smiled watching her private laptop as she had finally observed one of the people she had sensed before display some kind of ability even though it looked quit painful for that boy it was still a step forward.

"Calypso bring up the files of all of that girls past relatives going back to the early twenty first century and cross referencing it with any of the women and teenagers who were apart of the Valkyria project," Aliasse asked as she took a sip of warm tea glancing out the window of the building as the city moved in the window giving a slow 360 degree clockwise view of the city.

The high tech apartment and restaurant building was another show of modern engineering built very differently as every floor floated on and were connected to each other by electromagnetic fields generated by circular rows of magnetic ball barrings on each floors roof and bottom allowing all the levels to rotate slowly and independently which provided some of the greatest views of the city, which was one reason the building was a high priced apartment complex with two restaurant's one on the top floor and another on the middle floor.

Aliasse looked back to her laptop the screen split into six seaprete screens, showing different people going about their daily lives.

"Calypso have the principal of that girls school hold her in his office, until I arrive."

"Understood, and i've already called a orbital taxi," the A.I.s voice replied from the lab tops speaker.

Just over a full 14 minutes later Aliasse,s orbital taxi reentered the atmosphere, the pilot flicked a switch and the craft switched to it's vertical landing mode touching down in the schools parking lot drawing the attention of any students whose classroom faced that way.

"Here we ar ma'am," the pilot said as he unlocked the doors of the craft which was shaped oddly similar to a UNSC pelican however it was just half the size and was much wider in from like a large wing with a split tail.

"Thank you," Aliasse replied as she paid the man and exited the craft.

Aliasse then walked to the schools principal's office were she came face to face with the young girl she saw in the video.

"Can I help you," the principal barked a little frustrated by the stranger who just barged into his office.

"Oh i'm sorry but Im the observer of Reach," Aliasse said as she walked over to the mans desk and pulled out a ID badge from her pocket.

For a few moments the Principal took a good look at the ID badge and read the name on it before changing his mood to be more accommodating.

"Oh miss Aliasse i'm sorry for being so rude, may I ask what the Observer of Reach is doing in my humble school."

"Well actually i'm here for her," Aliasse said as she glanced at the young girl sitting along the wall."Tell me young miss what is your name." Calypso had already told Aliasse the girls name but this was a necessary greeting.

The young girl gulped thinking that she was in trouble after what happened in the gym but she was a little transfixed by the woman standing before her, the silver hair and red eyes were very distinct and reminded the girl of her history teachers who talked about Earth and its old nations one of which had a people whos hair color ranged from jet black to differing hues of blue to sliver.

"Umm, im Kaelea Oralie." the girl replied timidly introducing herself.

"Hello Kaelea i'm Aliasse, pleased to meet you," Aliasse said with a smile and turned back to the principal. "If it would be ok can I talk to Miss Kaelea in private."

The principal cleared his throat, "Um I believe it would be ok, would you like to use my office or-."

"We could talk on the roof if thats ok," Aliasse suggested.

"That would fine," he said.

"Miss Kaelea please come with me, we have... things we need to talk about," Aliasse said in a calm tone.

Minutes later both girls were standing on the room watching the many boats pass along the coast going to and from the nearby ports that surrounded the school.

"The view is beautiful... I've always like the sea... even though it can be a dangerous place sometimes just like... your power," Aliasse said catching Kaelea off guard.

"What!? ha... how do you know about that?"

Aliasse smiled and couldn't help herself. "Because i'm the same as you ... im... special" Aliasse projected into Kaeleas mind, It had taken Aliasse years for her to learn how to use telepathy as it was not a easily learned ability for Valkyrur as their powers are geared for other things.

Kaelea took a step back startled by the voice in her head. "Ah... wa...how?"

Aliasse held a hand up to calm the startled young girl. "It's alright allow me to explain," Aliasse said speaking nomaly. "You have what is called psionic powers and that's how you threw that ball without touching it."

Kaelea started to pace around taking a few moments to get everything straight in her head.

"Sooo I have telekinesis and... stuff like that?"

"Yes... however the degree of you power is yet unknown, you will require proper training to fully control your abilities and discover their limits," Aliasse explained.

Kaelea took in a deep breath,"Training so... you'll train me."

"Yes."

"And after that then what we fight crime like super heros or something," Kaelea sarcastically suggested still trying to wrap her mind around her new reality.

"No, well not exactly, but I do plane of forming a training camp of sorts when the others show their powers."

"Others!... there are others with abilities like this."

"Yes but there' not very many of them. If you say yes I'll give you one on one training until the others awaken and i'll explain the history of these powers."

Kaelea took a bit to think letting out a big sigh, "Ok I'm in... but what about my parents,"

"We'll keep this between us for now, however they will have to be told at some point in the future."
