The Viral Hero
Disclaimer: I don't own Prototype or Mass Effect.
I noticed that with the prototype crossovers there were not a whole lot of them that featured James Heller as the main crossover character from prototype and I really like him so I'm going to make a crossover with him in Mass Effect.
Heller's Abilities: All of Heller's abilities are maxed out as far as they could go in prototype 2
Shape Shifting
Whip Fist
Hammerfists
Muscle Mass ( because he ate Alex Mercer at the end of prototype 2)
Tendrils
Shield arms
Super human speed and agility
Can fly ( I'm implementing the optional ability you unlock that allows you to glide forever sense it's more fun and it would at least make a little bit of logical sense for him to be able to do that. In the game it's a force multiplier called "Air Time")
Super Human endurance and regeneration
Super Human Sense/ Viral Sense
Super Human Strength
Biobomb
Blade
Claws
Pack Leader
Mercer Bullet Dive ( A no powers equipped ground slam starting in the air)
And the devastator (I think that's what it's called. Heller sends out an explosion of tendrils from his body to destroy everything around him.)
Armor form (basically incased in the same type of viral configuration all around his body).
I hope that you enjoy the story
Chapter 1: Prologue
Dana:" What do we do now?"
Dana overlooks the desolate and empty city of New York while James Heller holds Maya Heller in his arms tightly.
James:" There is nothing left for us here. I'd rather find another place to raise Maya than this hell hole!"
Maya:" Where would we go dad?"
James:" I don't know Maya, but we need to find a new home. Somewhere where I can raise you as a father should."
Dana:" I Don't have a home either. Do you mind if I tag along?"
James:" No I don't mind. You helped me get my daughter back so you are more than welcome to join."
Dana:" Thanks, that means a lot."
James:" We should probably get a car to drive out of here since I don't think I'm the safest mode of transportation, but I think I destroyed most of them."
Dana:" We should probably head to ground level then and search for one with a full tank of gas."
Dana and Maya when to the stairs of the building they were on (They did not trust the elevator since the building they were on had some significant structural damage) while Heller simply jumped off the side of the building and made a huge crater in the concrete when he landed on the ground level street. Once everyone had made it to street level, they began to search the area for a vehicle that still worked.
It took them a couple of hours of walking through ruble filled streets for them to find a four occupant car that still worked. It was about 5 blocks away from the building they descended. They got into the car and drove, with a bit of difficulty due to the roads being fucked all to hell, out of New York City.
These details with the prologues can be tedious and sometimes boring so I will try to summarize what happens for your convenience.
Dana, Maya, and James eventually found a place to live in Pennsylvania (on the side of a small mountain that overlooked a tree filled valley. Dana lived as a roommate to Heller and a sort of proxy mother to Maya. They spent many contented years there (thankful that no more of that crazy shit with blacklight and Mercer followed them or seemed to be known by anyone).
What James, Heller, and Dana didn't know is that the coronel that was in-charge of the blacklight operation in New York City decided to erase the records on James and Maya Heller so that no one who was not there to witness the events that took place in New York City would know about him or his daughter. He did this in a way to be thankful that James spared him and listened to his request to leave the city.
Eventually Maya was old enough to live on her own and when she did move out of the house; Dana decided to find her own place as well. James was left to live by himself, but he would occasionally go visit his daughter.
90 years later:
New York City has finally gotten back on its feet after 50 years of reconstruction, though the records of James Heller and his transformation were erased and all those who may know of Heller were either dead for certain reasons or were knocking on death's door. James Heller looked exactly the same as he did 90 years ago since he was technically no longer a human and could not age. His daughter was still as human as could be so she aged and grew old. James and Maya were at the hospital when Dana passed away 15 years ago due to natural causes. And now it was Maya's turn to pass on. James held the hand of his daughter for the last time. He listened as Maya drew her last breath and exhaled. He saw her face become still, her chest stop moving, and the heart monitor flat line. Heller had been so very proud of his daughter and loved her dearly since she was the only family he had left. The doctors and nurses in the room removed their surgical hats and masks and placed them over their hearts in a sign of respect. A male doctor with brown hair placed his right hand over Heller's left shoulder (He thought that Heller was Maya's son or grandson based on how old James looked but he was in fact her father). Heller was holding his daughter and weeping profusely without a sound.
A month later:
"Mad World by Gary Jules plays"
Heller was burying his own daughter next to the graves of his wife, even though he never recovered her body, and Dana Mercer. He placed an assortment of roses on the graves. On his daughter's grave James placed a model of a roller coaster.
James bowed his head in a prayer stance: Tears slowly running down his face.
Heller:" I hope you find your way to heaven Maya.." He said as he started to cry even harder with his head beginning to shake from the despair filled breaths he took.
Heller:" A Father should never have to bury his own daughter."
"Music ends"
While the graves of the ones he loved and lost were there, Heller did not want to be there since it reminded him of what he has lost.
57 years later, 2157:
James was booking passage on a human colony ship that was heading for Shanxi, The first planet that humanity colonized beyond the Sol Relay. James was no longer wearing his iconic black leather jacket since he would stick out if he still did. He had shape shifted into a plain gray shirt with a pair of blue jeans. The transport had entered the relay and soon had arrived to Shanxi.
James was one of last off the shuttle down to the planet since he was taking all the sights of the new planet.
James:" Now begins my new life I suppose." He muttered to himself.
James looked around the colony to find a place that he could claim or at least rest in. The planet looked like earth to a degree except that there were pretty much no buildings ,except for the ones in the colony, so it looked like a natural Earth. The floor of the colony was tiled white as well as the walls.
After hours of searching, Heller finally found a secluded room with no furnishings of any kind that no one seemed to be occupying. Heller decided there was nothing to do since he didn't know anyone in the colony and didn't want to talk to them, and it was apparently night time so he just rested his head on the floor a fell asleep.
