Hello everyone how's it going
For those that know my work are probably wondering why I'm doing this. The reason why is because I seen crossovers with these two titles, and even then when I read Prototype Fanfiction I don't ever see Dana having a pivotal role in the story
So I decided to make one where Dana is main focus, with of course Alex off in the background having his own adventure. Might make a series about it later, probably will tie in to the second game when I do
9/7/15- Decided to get rid of the part that was here before because people were taking it the wrong way to what I actually wanted it to mean.
Now with that out of the way

Now without further ado, lets get started
Dana stared out solemnly into the skyline of the city from her room. She was currently in a hospital, stuck in a bed to be precise.
She didn't really have to worry about Blackwatch finding her here because Ragland, the saint he is for helping her and her brother in the past when others would just shoot them, used a favor he had with the chief of medicine in the hospital to get her a room without needing her personal information.
If there was a god he was an ass for doing this to her. She may not have been a preachy woman, or even went to church. . . . Ever, but that doesn't mean she doesn't believe in being kind to fellow human beings and that schtick when needed to be
Was it something she did in her past life that condemned her to this bed. To die a slow death
The door to her room opened and in stormed in the person she hasn't seen since she was taken by that Supreme Hunter all that time ago and fell into a coma where after she woke up Ragland told her what Alex did during her time unconscious. She was proud that he defeated Greene, stopped the army from nuking New York and was happy to know that he personally erased the infected from the city by making a stronger potent of Bloodtox that didn't affect him.
"Sir you can't go in there" A nurse said trying to stop him
"Bite me" Alex, her older brother, said with cold tone underlined with malice that sent shivers that the nurse's spine. Before she could do anything he slammed the door in front of the woman and locked it.
Alex walked calmly over to her and sat down on the chair next to her bed. His eyes looking over his body as she can see the empathy in his eyes. She must look horrible, with her skin turning incredibly pale, her hair falling off, bags under her eyes, IV's in her wrist and arms
"What can I say, cancer is a bitch" Dana said her throat slightly raspy from not talking in a long since they brought her here a few months ago.
". . . . How bad is it" Alex asked after a moment with complete seriousness
"Well apparently what happened in the Red Zone did more of a number in me then I guessed" Dane said with a scoff as she noticed Alex's intense gaze ". . . . When I fell into a coma Blacklight actually entered my blood stream but it didn't infect me. Apparently I'm one of a billion who's genetics can ignore the Blacklight virus. Sadly I wasn't cut out to be Runner like you" Dana said with a weak laugh that turned into a coughing fit as Alex placed a hand on her shoulder. Once Dana calmed down she continued "As you know that damn virus is constantly evolving, so what better way to find a way to kill by forming cancer all over my organs" Dana said with a wave of her arm gesturing to her body
"Cant the doctors do anything" Alex asked
"Nope, even if they do get rid of the cancer that is forming they can't do anything to stop the cancer that is in my brain, unless they want to kill me of course. So the most they can do is make the pain bearable" Dana said with a soft smile
"Why are you smiling, this isn't a good thing Dana" Alex said harshly
Dana looked at him, he wasn't angry she was waving off this serious issue like her life wasn't coming to an end. No, he was hiding the fact the only person who considered him alive, human, a caring brother, is a dying
"It's because if I don't I'll just break down crying about how life is cruel and besides" Dana said shifting in her bed slightly as Alex moved to help her but she waved it off "I was able to see you again, big brother" Dana said while Alex stared at her with his fist clenched tightly and looked down. Dana just smiled when he did, it just showed he still has emotions because he can't bear to see her like this "Alex" Dana said softly as her brother raised his head to look at her "Come here" Dana said gesturing to get closer.
Alex did as she said and was surprised at what she did. Dana wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a hug. Alex just sat there, not sure what to do, every fiber of his being said consume, but not his mind or heart. Those two, they were hurting and even if he can't cry anymore, he really wanted to right now.
Dana smiled when she felt her brother wrap his arms around her body and returned the hug. She forgot the last time they actually ever hug, before all this ever happened. Before her brother became Blacklight, but even when he turned he still acted like her brother, just a little more concerned and caring than usual
After a good moment they finally let go of one another as Alex helped her lay back down on the bed. Dana then stared up at Alex and laughed slightly
"What?" Alex asked confused to why she would suddenly laugh
"No, it's just. . . . I always thought that after all the crap in the Red Zone I would, I don't know. Explore the world or some crap" Dana said with a sad sigh
They remained in silence as Alex thought of something. He frowned, he couldn't do that to Dana, couldn't subject her to what made him into a monster
"You have that look that says you're either about to murder something or you have something on your mind" Dana said "Twenty bucks says it's the latter" Dana mused as Alex had to smirk. Even with the fact her life is coming to an end her sense of humor won't leave her
". . . . . . If you had a way out, to actually see the world like you said. . . Would you take it" Alex asked with some hesitance as Dana just stared at him
". . What are you suggesting" Dana asked after a moment
Alex raised his arm as tendrils writhe around it "I turn you into what I am" Alex said as the tendril disappeared
Dana closed her eyes and took a deep breath "Okay"
"I should've guessed you say n- Wait what?" Alex said as he was actually thinking she would say no, or even tell him that was a stupid or even hit him. Never did he think she would say yes to his suggestion
"I said yes, I'll be honest Alex. I'm afraid to die, I'm afraid to just give up without a fight" Dana said as tears poured from her eyes as she started to breathe harder "So I don't really care what is going to happen to me, just promise me one thing" Dana said with a serious look "Promise me that whatever I become, I don't lose sight in my humanity" Dana said choking back tears
Alex reached over and wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes "I promise" Alex said before standing up as tendrils writhe around his left arm once more "Close your eyes and when you wake up" Alex raised his arm up with his hand flat and pointed at Dana "We'll be on a plane going anywhere of your choosing. How's does that sound" Alex said softly
"That sounds nice" Dana said closing her eyes as she took a deep breath as she felt something pierce her chest. It didn't hurt, no, it felt nice like a warm blanket covering her as she let out her last human breath and went under.
The dark nothingness was a nice feeling actually, to clear her thoughts, collect herself
"RUN!"
'?'
"EVERYONE MOVE!"
'What's going on?'
"ALIENS!"
2157
Dana blinked as she looked around and realized she was having a flashback of when she turned into what she is now. Dana took a moment to sift through her memories of what happened and how she got here while pulling out a piece of rubble from her temple
Dana remembered how it her journey started, she woke up later in the day she became a Runner in a private plane Alex apparently got. Apparently not only did he take the memories of the people he killed but also their bank accounts. Alex did as he promised, he took her to see the world with him and she was happy to say the least to be able to do that. Sure the virus turned her slightly into a sociopath because she would have no feelings of remorse when she killed someone. But Dana figured it was just a defense mechanism for her new body to not worry about what she did. Thankfully she was still able to be social with people without being brushed off as cold or vindictive towards people, unlike a certain older brother of hers
During the time they traveled Alex helped her become stronger by giving her some of his genetic makeup that he acquired during the Red Zone crisis.
Oddly enough her body changed differently to what Alex was expecting when he gave her some of his genetic makeup. When she tried to make his giant blade, both of her arms turned into thin one sided blades that formed from her ring finger to her pinkie outward about a foot and ran along the sides of her arms up to elbow that jutted out a few inches in segregated spikes while her other fingers were sharp black jagged digits.
When she tried to do Hammer Fists she instead made a stronger version of Muscle Mass that was covered in spikes made of a hard yet sharp bone substance. What surprised the two of them when she made it for the first time was the spikes around it actually moved like saw around the entirety of her arms to shred things up.
Her claws were still claws but instead of Alex's four finger machete like blades she actually kept all her fingers but the size of the claws were only slightly larger than a combat knife on each digit. What's more is that on the back of her wrist was four bone-like spikes that she learned she can fire them out of her wrist at a range around ten meters every five seconds.
The only thing that stayed the same was the fact she can form a shield around her arm or her full body armor that had more of resemblance of her feminine physique but even that was slightly different. Her armor was thinner, more flexible, allowing her to run faster than Alex when he is in full armor as well. Apparently all this just showed her genetics made her to be more swift and agile than Alex could ever possibly be. Which made sense because his style is more about brute force and total annihilation of the enemy
Not that she can complain, she enjoyed the fun she had with her abilities.
They explored everything earth has to offer and was the world beyond theirs was open to their reach they went to it.
This only happened when humans found some ruins on Mars with evidence of life before them. They were both intrigued when they learned of this, they wanted to know more about this so when human's incorporated Mass Effect technology to traverse space easier they took the first shuttle to a new colony humans have started. True they had to wait a few years to a decade before they could ever leave earth but as a virus the one thing they know, other than killing, is to be patient
So they spent their time learning about a new Element humans found called Element Zero.
When Alex first came into contact with Element Zero he felt pain all over his body and Dana didn't know what to do, that is until he started glowing red and ran when she thought he was going to unleash a Devastator. But that didn't happen as Dana came back to see Alex in total control and his body still glowing red
Alex explained something in him grew out of nowhere to compensate for what was going through his body. He then lifted his hand up as Dana felt herself become weightless and realized she was hovering a foot off the ground. Dana was in awe at what Alex was doing until she felt a strain in her body as it absorbed the effect that was happening to her body and was soon covered in a red aura as well.
Dana then cut herself off from what Alex was doing and dropped back down onto the ground before letting a fit of giggles at what just happened while Alex just smiled like crazy at what they were able to do
That is before learning human babies were exhibiting these signs as well but were covered in an aura of blue than red so they figured it be best not to use this ability often. Red is very distinctive color of not being human it seems.
After all this they were able to go to the nearest space faring colony until she goes to a newer one that is built because she wanted to explore what that world has to offer while Alex wanted to have fun with the wildlife and find the deadliest creatures on the planet. . . . Then consume them. This process kept going on for quite some time, each time she would use a different face, gender, skin color, even age when she learned how to hide in plain sight with great effectiveness while Alex. . . Didn't care and kept his looks the same
She was currently visiting Shanxi disguised as a little girl because no one would suspect a little girl of being something evil
It was all going well, simple exploration of a new planet while talking to her brother on her Omni-tool. They didn't always travel together, figuring that it would be better if they travel to different colonies to make it easier to stay hidden, especially if Alex wouldn't change his form. They not that often, usually enough to count on one hand per year but when they do they talk about everything they done up until they called the other just to make sure they were okay. This was mostly Dana calling her brother to make sure he didn't do something stupid yet to get the military's interest
She finished her call with Alex and looked up when she heard something. What she saw was an unknown navy fleet directly above the colony as military looking transport shuttles started going down onto the planets surface while the fleet above was attacking theirs.
It was then that colony people around Dana realized what was happening which excited her to no ends.
Aliens are attacking them
But before she could do anything she looked up to see an air to ground missile was fired straight at her
"Well fuck" Was all Dana muttered as the missile exploded right in front of her and turned her into a puddle of blood and muscles, which brings this story back to its main point
Dana finished reforming as she looked around to see civilians running in terror while soldiers stayed and tried to push the invaders back.
'These guys are well trained to be able to do push our military back. Though that's not really an acomplishment anymore as these soldiers are nothing compared to the soliders back in the day when they tried to hunt Alex down in the Red Zone' Dana thought as she watched passively as the Alliance soldiers were being pushed back by the invaders
Dana decided it was best to avoid this confrontation so she silently moved away from the fights and into an now abandoned building. Dana walked calmly through the building without a care in the world as she exited the back door of the building and into the streets behind the building.
'Dammit' Dana thought irritably as she just walked into a giant platoon of the aliens.
At that moment she contemplated, kill them before they could do anything or act like a defenseless child to see what kind of beings they are. She chose the latter and watched what they would do because it seemed more fun in her opinion
Apparently they were assholes and shot in her head without mercy. The rounds they fire were but the size of a grain of sand so it didn't really do much to her but she played dead nonetheless.
She waited and listened to them argue with one another in a language she has no knowledge of. . For now that is
Once they finished arguing they started to move and that's when Dana got back up. Dana rushed towards the platoon and jumped onto an alien that was on back of the platoon. Before the alien could even yell out in shock she gripped it's throat and ripped it off. The alien died like any other being as her tendrils got to work consuming it into her bio-mass and learned some things about this aliens genetic, like its protein base is dextro base and not amino base like humans
The other's didn't even noticed she killed on of their men and soon shape shifted into their comrade. Let it be known that military grunt, no matter what species are completely dense when it comes to Alex's or her stealth kills. Seriously every time either of them does that you could literally hear them either cracking the person's neck very loudly or ripping the flesh off of them but no one notices
Dana sighed internally before the memories of the alien she just killed came to her. So many different species, a Council, different planets, different languages, so many things to do with this information. But first
Dana smiled wickedly as she could with this form of the, turian if her memories are correct, as she morphed into her armored form and her hands into claws
"Time to get these invaders off the planet" Dana said in basic turian dialect that attracted the attention of the other soldiers who turned and was shocked to see a monstrosity standing behind them without them noticing
Dana didn't let them even let them aim their guns at her as she closed the distance to the nearest soldier and cut his head off with her claws. She moved to the next and thrust her right claw through the next soldier, cleaved the next in half, ripped the next one's face off, kicked the neck of the next soldier hard enough that it snapped before he hit the ground. She kept killing without mercy and figured she may help the humans by dealing with one platoon as she crushed her head of a turian with her claws
Dana finished slaughtering the entire platoon and turned her head to stare at the last turian left alive. The memories she took said that the man was not only the leader of this platoon but also the General by the name Desolas, lucky her.
Desolas looked at her in horror as took a step back but tripped and fell onto his back. He tried to move back but Dana was already on him. Dana grabbed him by his neck and lifted him up off the ground with his feet dangling an inch off the ground.
Dana dropped him and he landed on his feet stumbling back before straightening himself as he looked at up. Dana thrust both her claws into the turian's chest piece and peeled it open, along with the turian's carapace like skin as it revealed the organs inside. Dana pulled one claw back before she thrust it into turian's beating heart and straight out its back as he gagged a bit before tendrils writhe around his body as he was soon consumed by Dana
Dana turned her arms back to normal as the memories of the Turian she killed came to her. If the memories were correct, and they are, she know's exactly where the other turians are going to attack and how.
She may not be human anymore, but that doesn't mean she won't help them. Especially with the memories showing they wanted to turn humans into a client race, that just screamed legal slavery in her mind with how they lord themselves above their client races as a supreme military, yeah it was not going to happen.
"Well" Dana said taking a step forward "Seems I have a war to win" Dana said with a smirk as she dashed off towards the next platoon
That day was known as the First Contact War and the beginning of the legend of the Black Wraith or the Demonic guardian, depending on what side you were on during the conflict. It wasn't even a war with how short it was, didn't even last an entire day before it ended due to unknown variable making it's presence known in the conflict
All sightings of this black figure in a chitinous sort of armor was brutally murdering the turian army left and right without mercy with, what reports states, metallic claws. When the Alliance Navy was questioned about this that they claim they have no knowledge of this creature but there was serious doubts about when Salarian STG tried into this even they found nothing about this being attacking the turians.
Rumors say the Shadow Broker knows but the truth is that even he has been scratching his head to find the information about what happened. All that is known is this figure came out of nowhere and helped repel the Turian ground force that gave the Alliance enough breather to bring back online the anti orbital cannons which was enough to push the turian fleet back into the 314 mass effect relay
Whatever the creature was it went into the dark with no sign of it surfacing. But inside the military, a small splinter cell that will soon grow in power knows what did this and they will be prepared to hunt it down when the time comes to either destroy it or further humanities power in the food chain
Well I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and expect to see another update in a month or so. No promises though with my hectic schedule
So until next time please leave a comment, review or PM and I'll see you all later, have a great day.
