Involuntary intrusions: Prologue

Noble 6 wasn't cut out for this type of mission. Contrary to the nickname "The Lone Wolf", he was a goner without a team to watch his back, and without much training working as a single-person unit. His visor shattered in two places from some close calls against the numerous sangheili that had been blocking his path, now lying on the ground. He was bleeding profusely from a wound on his side, inflicted by an energy sword gone astray. He had a bad limp from where an elite had kicked him in the knee cap, effectively crippling the already injured Spartan-III. He took off his helmet, dropping to the ground on his back. The dust storm was clearing up just enough to see a sliver of blue sky from his Earth-bound position. He unfortunately had not been able to deposit Cortana into the hands of Captain Keyes, as the drop ship meant to pick him and the core up had been shot down just before reaching the dock. As such, he still had her with him. He had a thought right then as a purple cruiser covered the exposed sky. If he was going to die there, he would do something he had always wondered the results of. He slipped a single armored finger in-between the bars surrounding the AI core. The Last thing he heard before everything went to black was a distinctive feminine scream, piercing him to his soul, and rocking his core. The next thing he saw was not that of any white light or flames, but a blue one. The first thing he heard was: "He seems to be coming around. What should we do Shepard?"

Sorry for any biffs you might have with how I explained Noble-6's story playing out, but hey, what can I say? This is the first fanfic that I have written, and hopefully not the last. This story should have many other things integrated into it at a time where it fits the best. And, for any of you who like Mass Effect, yes this is THE Sheppard, but not the only one. For any Bronies out there, I'm not planning on adding in any MLP stuff, but if I get a large enough vote, there is a possibility that something along those lines. But, be careful what you wish for, because MLP could easily take over the entire storyline. Hope you enjoyed and that's the end of the prologue.
