All right I am going into what I believe are uncharted waters with SI. Instead of helping Shepard well… you will see what I do.

Before I, begain I want to state that this work I am going to start here will not have been possible if not for the Masses to Masses 3ctioNZ can write better than most Professional authors. If you have not yet been able to read his work. Please go see it.

Now with out further ado…

Chapter 1

Every journey begins

My head felt like a horse had just bucked me off and then ran over me.

"Hey buddy? You okay?"

I turn over on my side to see an Asrai looking down at me. Great not only does my head hurt but I am now seeing things.

Then I slowly sat up looking around me. Taking in all that I could at once. Okay I thought to my self. Think what you were doing last night. Lets see last night…

"Will!" my mom yelled up the stairs. Causing me to take my mind off playing mass effect on my fifth run though.

"WILIIAM!" I hear again. Alright its probably better to not keep my mom waiting. So I headed down stairs to find out what my mom wanted from me.

"Yes mom?" I ask before I even get down stairs.

"I need you to go to Wall-Mart and pick up some milk."

"Okay," I sigh as I head out the door. Ever since I got my licensee its been the same thing day in and day out. "Will go do this, take your sister to the mall, go pick up milk." Makes almost wish I never got the damn thing. Key word almost.

As much as I hated having to run all the errands of the family, I still had access to a car and I did not even have to pay for gas money. So I guess in the end it worked out perfect.

As I got into the car, I forgot my Iphone and Ipod so I ran back into the house. I had been meaning to switch everything over to my phone but hey. What can I say I am one lazy kid.

After grabbing that stuff and my wallet, I ran back out to the car. Starting it up I did not bother to look in the back seat. I mean why would I. I lived on a military base. The likely hood of some one being back there was small. The worse that ever happened in the nationhood was a house getting egged one time by a group of teenagers.

"Hey stay with me now," I hear the voice speak up. Bringing me back to reality.

"Who are you?"

"Name's Linza," She replies to me.

Figuring I am just making stuff up in my head I decide to make a stupid mistake and ask her, "Hey is it true Asari look like human's underneath…" I never got to finish my sentence before she slapped me across my face. The pain brings me quickly my senses back.

"Why I never. I just wanted to make sure your okay and this is what you do in return. Stupid human." She said as she stormed off.

Okay that was strange. This was defiantly different. As I sat up and started to look, about two words came to my mind… no way.

Standing up I start looking around when I see a Turian. I just stare at him with my mouth open. Okay first the Asari. I could have past that off as a woman in a costume but this… this…

"Got a problem?" the Turian directed at me. I quickly look over his armor. It looked just like the blue… Ahhh shit I thought to my self. Of course, I had to stare at him.

"Hey human I asked a question!"

"No," I stumble back.

"Well I think we do," he said as he approached me.

"Look I don't want any trouble," I reply.

"Well I think trouble just found you. Do you know what Blue Suns do to people like you?"

Oh, gods please do not let it come to this. However, something caught my breath. It cant be. The person is drunk!.

Okay I think to myself what is the best plan of attack. He is taller and weighs more than me so I cant try to go head to head with him and expect to win. However, he is drunk. I could win a grapple match. I just need to find where his gun is.

Then the Turian raises his fist to paunch me. I quickly glace trying to find a weapon. Then I see his pistol on his side.

Okay its now or never. As he launched his paunch at me, I quickly duck under and tackle him to the ground. No sooner are we down then I am scrambling to get his pistol out.

The Turian realizing what I am about to do quickly trys to reach for his pistol. He almost gets it. Almost. I am quicker than he is. Standing back up I slowly back up with the gunpoint at his head.

One of the pro's about your dad being in the army. One tends to learn how to shoot guns from Special Forces people that are family friends.

The blue sun realizing that he is done for just stares at me. Deciding that I need to get information I decided to play the tuff guy and ask questions.

"What year is?"

"Fuck you," is all I get back.

I find the button that expands the pistol and put my finger on the trigger.

"Ill ask again what's the year?" This time with a lot more force behind my voice.

"2180" he replies with a snare.

"Where am I!"

"Why should I tell you? If you don't know already then you must be brain dead."

"Look if I were you I would shut up before I decide to go ahead and pull the trigger and walk away."

"Fine… Were on the Citadel."

Wholly crap did he just say Citadel? What is a blue Sun doing on the Citadel though. I thought these guys were on just Omega. However, before I could ask another question I felt the cold barrel press up against my head.

"Drop the gun. C-Sec and your both coming with me."

I turn to see who said that. When I see the most kick ass person that I knew of. Garrus fucking Vakarian. Realizing that if I did not do exactly what he said I would be a dead man I lowered my gun.

"That's better. Now you have the right to remain silent…" He went on reading my rights.

Jesus I could not help thinking. Did they still read you your rights this far into the future. As I was lead to the squad car. As I was put into the back. When the man I had at gunpoint got put in next to me I could not help but grin. At least I was going to have company.

As Garrus got into the front and speed away to what I could only guess was C-Sec command.

I could not help but think back to as how I got here.

I was driving down to Wal-Mart. Singing along to my favorite song on my Ipod. As usual, I was stuck at a light when I felt a cold metallic hand slide over my mouth. I tried to yell out but my mouth was muffled. Not that anyone would have heard me anyways though.

When I heard his voice, "Will ****** you are destined for great things. Only not in this universe."

Before I could even register, what had gone on I was waking up with that Asari looking down at me.

"Hey human!"

Snapping back to reality, I look over to see Garrus looking at me. Come on get out.

Not wanting to test to see if he is like the way he is in the game I quickly apologize and exit the vehicle. This seems to take him by surprise. Not many people he arrested most apologize to him.

I quickly follow him into C-Sec head quarters. It looked just like it did in the first Mass Effect. Minus the older graphics. As I was lead to a back room to be interrogated.

5 minutes later.

I sat down at the table waiting for Garrus to come in. Knowing that I better come up with a quick back round story for my self. Because I do not think telling him that I was driving a car and got forcefully transported to this place would earn me anything less than a trip to the loony bin.

Then I hear the door open. I glance up to see Garrus walk in with a glass of water in his hand. When he offered me the glass, I realized just how thirsty I truly was. Thanking him, I took the water and gulp it down immediately. It was nice and cool. Just the way I liked it.

"So what's your name?" he asks.

Think fast "Jack O'Neal." I quickly say with out a second thought. After I say this, I quickly do a mental face palm. I could not come up with anything better than a Star Gate name. Oh well it would have to do.

"Okay Mr. O'Neal. You mind telling me just how you got onto my Citadel then. Because as far as I am concerned you are here illegally. Since we do not have any files on your self matching your DNA."

Quickly trying to think of something that is believable but wont end my ass up in jail. "I was born here. My mother had me in an alleyway to be honest. We were very poor. When I was born she didn't even register me with the Citadel or even get me my immuno-boosters."

This quickly got an eye raise from Garrus. I hope my story had been convincing enough to make him not push the subject any further. Then again knowing my luck…

"Then explain why you had a gun." He says to me

Oh, that one is easy I think, "When I was walking down the street I apparently gave that drunk blue Suns guy a dirty look." after a brief pause, "I just hate people like him. Trying to get to the top not caring who he hurts along the way. No matters who it is."

"Still haven't answered my question." Garrus interrupted me sounding impatient.

"Relax I am getting their sir. As I said I gave him, a dirty look and he walked up to me asking if I had a problem with him. Now of course as soon as he talked I could smell the Alcohol on his breath mind you. So when he drew back to paunch me I tackled him to the ground and pull his pistol off of his side."

"Just how am I supposed to believe this? Some human barley wet behind his ears took down a Turian mercenary?"

"Look I know it's not the most believable thing, but come on give you can't tell me. That a drunken Turian is able to put up a fight against someone who is not. Even if that person is human!"

"Never said it was completely because you're human. Just because you're still a young pup."

"Detective!"

Garrus turned around to see someone behind him. "Who are you? This is my investigation!"

"Alliance Internal Security."

What a minute I have heard that voice before. Just were had I heard that voice. No it could not be. Not this already.

When I looked up, I saw Garrus leaving muttering what had to be Turian curses under his breath. Then my eyes caught sight of someone. It was. It was Miranda Lawson. The illusive Man's 2nd in command.

"Hello there. I am…"

"Miranda Lawson. What does Cerberus's right hand man, or woman should I say, want with me?"

I see a sudden look of worry flash across her face. Ahhh she must be undercover. Oh well. I know just how to play her.

"You must be mistaken, I am Special Agent Hilmor of the Alliance."

" Ahhh okay," two can play reindeer games, "so what can I do for you special agent?"

"Well you can start off with your name." Miranda said obviously relieve that I dropped my earlier statement.

"Name is Jack O'Neil. I am part of Stargate command. I go through wormholes and fuck aliens up.' I lie to her with a grin.

Miranda actually lets out a laugh at that. "No seriously who are you?"

"Let's just say this I am part of an elite unit of humans known solely as Delta Force." I lie, but this time I say it with a straight face, "We fight for the betterment of humanity no matters the odds stacked against us. Also I know who you are Miranda Lawson."

"I've already told you that's not who I am!" she shouts at me.

"Really now? So your father didn't use his DNA to be the perfect human didn't create you? With your biotics an all?"

"Who the fuck are you?" she sputtered out slowly.

Yes. She went for the bait. Now I've got her right were I want her.

"Well my name is actually Will ******."

"Then why did you say Jack O'Neil?"

"Come on now Ms. Lawson. You should know that in our line of work that we all have cover stories."

"What is it you want?" she asked.

"Well a couple things. First I want out of here."

"Easy I was planning on doing that anyways. Anything else?"

I just eye her up and down. Giving her the one over. Just to make her feel unease. "Well there is…"

"God no!"

"What I was going to ask for some food!" I burst out laughing. I can see her face palm herself.

"You know what I think you're bluffing. You know what I know you are bluffing. If there was this thing called Delta Force, I would know about."

Oh, shit this is going bad very fast. Think will think. Wait a second. If this is like my universe then Delta existed in the United States.

"Well Miranda, You have an Omni-tool correct?"

"Yes, why would that matter?"

"Do me a favor look up U.S. Delta Force."

"Fine," she replies to me.

As she looks up Delta force, I just quietly think to my self "Well I am going to have Miranda in the palm of my hand. What should I do?" Then the answer came to me. Of course, this was simple. Why hadn't I thought of this before. I wasn't here to help Shepard. No, I was too far in the past to be of immediate help. Instead… Instead… I was going to do what I had only dreamed of in my reality. I was going to take over Cerberus!

"It says that Delta Force was a Special Forces unit of unprecedented skills in the early 21st century." I grin at this "It also says that when the Alliance took over all of Earth's militaries that they ceased to exist."

"My dear Miranda, how naïve you truly are. Do you honestly think the greatest military in the world at the time would do away with its most permit Special Forces?"

She just looks at me and glares. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that when the United States disbanded its military many among its Forces, Especially in its' SF branch, felt that they needed to remain and defend humanity. That the Alliance was never going to be able to do what was needed to save it."

"That's exactly what Cerberus does." She chimed in.

"Cerberus is a bunch of terrorists. That makes me sick to call myself a human!" I scream at her

"My unit fights for the good of man, but does not trade what makes us HUMAN in the first place. DO NOT compare US to CERBERUS ever again!" I practically scream with fury. As spit starts to foams from my mouth. This bitch really just compared Delta to Cerberus!

Obviously, Miranda was not taking this. "Look, humanity needs protectors. If that means that a few have to give up for the need of the many so be it!"

"You don't understand."

This catches her by surprise "What don't I understand?"

"If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference." is all I say back.

"Who said that?"

"R. Buckminster Fuller. Why?"

"It's beautiful."

"Look in everything we does a race, we must never forget what makes us who we are. Because the moment we do. What makes us any better than that which we fight to get rid of?"

"I see."

"No you don't…"

"Yes I do. I agree. For years I have believed in what Cerberus stood for but not the ways that they did it."

"Score! Perfect I have her just right where I want her. This is perfect. With her on my side, I can start my goal. To take over Cerberus!" I thought to my self.

"I want to help you."

"Why, should I accept your help? For all I know your going to stab me in the back and take your sister before my guys can move in to take her out."

"Oh stop bullshiting me here. We both know that Delta ant around any more. "

My face then white. I tried to stop my face from giving away that what she said is 100 percent true, but I didn't fix it in time, as she obviously knew she was right.

"Knew it, look your right. Humanity needs help. Someone willing to do the stuff no one else is willing to do. While at the same time doing what is morally right."

Holy shit she got it the first time right off the bat.

"So what's our first move?"

"Easy I need to get into Cerberus."

All right, here is chapter 1. This is my first self-insert please be nice. Now though for my halo/mass effect cross over. It is being place on halt until I finish this. The reason for this is because I am going to link this story into that one. ( don't worry it will happen gradually. I don't plan on screwing up the whole story line.) In fact I plan on letting the story line pretty much go on unaltered for the most part. I will be stepping in in a few missions.
