It was 2186. Hours after a massive pulse of red energy surged across the galaxy, wiping out a vast majority of all technology. Earth was ground zero.
He stood on top of a pile of rubble in Berlin, Germany. He was looking at the massive corpse of the cuttlefish like monstrosity that used to be a Reaper. The Reaper was surrounded by corpses from both sides, men and women that he fought with lay about both among the living and the dead.
He thought it was over when the Reapers started falling over dead, but soon after the army of starships built from all of the races begun to fall out of the sky. The only reason that anyone survived the crash's was the shear size of the ships themselves. And now there were millions of people trapped on Earth, away from their home planets.
Minutes ago these leviathans of destruction were killing everyone and everything and now they're all dead, nothing but giant heaps of purplish-blue metal. They were supposed to be immortal, and yet here they lay dead. It made him wonder about himself. He had the power to do what they did, but he choose not to use it. The Reapers could have done such good, but instead choose to destroy. They reminded him of his twin brother.
His train of thought was derailed when his wife approached him. She had been fighting by his side this whole time, and had helped him destroy a couple of the Reapers before the energy pulse killed them all.
Her armor was covered with blood, like his, from both sides. Her face was covered in dirt, but that was normal for her. "She did it, didn't she?" She asked, moving some of her black hair out of her face..
"Yes, she did." He answered.
"Looks like our little girl really does take after you."
He looked down at the ground and laughed. "Well..." He said. "She does have your stubbornness." She playfully punched him on the arm, but to her playful is her full strength. "Ow!"
"So now what do we do?" She asked.
"The only thing we can do Toph." He started. "As far as we know, all technology with a mass effect core has been rendered useless. That will make rebuilding a little difficult, but I should be able to manage it. Fortunately our A.I. isn't based off it."
"Is our building even still standing?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm just glad the city we built it in wasn't nearly as populated as the bigger ones."
"What about Rem? She's not well. That explosion she caused was catastrophic..." She paused. "She's still on earth"
"She'll be fine. I'll look for her. I'll be surprised if she's even conscience." She went closer to him, and took his hand in her own, and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Then I guess I'll go back home and organize the rebuilding while your gone." She said.
"Well that should be easy for you and your total control over matter." He joked.
She laughed. "It's not that easy you know."
"Yeah, I know."
"Just find our daughter Vash. Bring her home."
"I will Toph, don't worry." He kissed her, and she kissed him back. "I'll go get her." He said pulling back from her. She nodded in agreement.
He left his wife and started towards London. His daughter had saved the entire galaxy, granted he saved the entire universe once but that was besides the point, and she deserved some rest at home...
