A metal from the past is unsheathed.
Hello fanfiction readers! After playing Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, I thought up of how cool it would be for a Cyborg Ninja to be in Mass Effect. So just for the record, I want positive Critizm from you guys in the review. I have difficulty controlling my emotions due to having ADHD so I would prefer it if you guys bring the issue out...carefully.
Disclaimer: I Don't own the metal gear franchise, mass effect, nor any music in this fiction of my imagination. I can only own my O.C. and the way he influences this fic.
Authors note, this will be one of my few M rated fics for some specific reasons.
On the streets of Chicago.
Our story, which will take long to explain, begins in the United States of America. Or rather, it focuses onto one person of Interest. The person, or a barely turned 18 year-old boy, walks down the streets of the city in ragged clothes of disinterest. To the perception of all passerby, he was just another homeless person that doesn't concern their lives. Sure their were people who helped him out time to time, but for the most part, passerby just leave him out of their knowledge to the boy's slight grimace.
Stopping at a nearby alleyway that looks like it could use some redecorating, the boy then goes past a garbage canister before crawling into his 'home'. Which was a cardboard house with multiple blankets and some pillows. Taking off his cloak that looks to rip off any second, we see the boy's features. His regular blue eyes bring no sense of uniqueness to the world. His dirty and uncombed black hair is messily put around his grimy face lazily. His pale white grimy shirt shows many signs of wear and tear all over it, infact there is a large rip on the back of it as the boy lays down inside his home.
"Another day, another crappy existence." The boy muses dryly as he puts a nearby hat on his face before attempting to fall asleep. Hopefully to dream a better time then what he was currently having. The reality he was in now however, was cruel once again as it wakes up his nearly asleep body by a nearby policeman tapping him. Grumbling in annoyance, the boy lifts his hat to see the police officer's gaze at his body. "I'm sorry to tell you this sir, but since you haven't listened to the other warnings by C.P.D. I have to take you in." The police officer says in a standard, authoritative voice.
Sighing once again as he gets up, the boy wraps his cloak around his body before folding up his house with his items in it. He then puts it onto the nearby dumpster as the police officer trains his green eyes on his every move, right hand near his M9 incase of anything occurs. The boy then turns puts his arms behind his back, saying in response. "Here you go officer, you can cuff me now." The officer does so without question as he leads him to the police cruiser.
After around a good half hour of driving, the officer asks. "I take it that you're Adams? Sorry about your family kid." The boy, now named Adam, replies while smiling dryly. "No need for sorry, just get the bastards who did it and then put them in jail." Adam then hears a sigh come from the officer who replies. "It's not exactly that simple, besides yourself, there hasn't been anyone else to come in as a witness to the drive by." Adam then closes his eyes as he shoots a quick response. "And because I was knocked out first from the attack, there isn't anyone to identify them. Great." Adam's doesn't get anything said from the police officer for a good 3 seconds, and before he can speak, he gets something on his radio.
"Hold on a second. 5-1 here, what's the problem central? A call at the nearby abandoned curb? You want me to check it out?*The officer takes a quick look behind him at Adam before returning his attention to the road* Sure, I can do that. Just send someone over to pick up this kid I have alright?" The officer wait's for a response as he gets a confirmation from his superior. Hanging the receiver back onto the radio, the officer replies in an apologetic tone. "Sorry about that, seem's like someone called from near where your house used to be." This causes Adam's attention to switch to the officer with a slight bit of optimism as the officer shakes his head, causing Adam to look down sadly.
At the former home to Adam.
Stopping infront of a damaged house, the officer opens his door cautiously before telling Adam. "It shouldn't take too long for another officer to get here so you should probably get some rest-?" The officer then seems to hear something outside the vehicle that Adam's ears cannot, and then he starts to ready his holstered M9 before quickly replying. "Hello!? Anyone in need of help?! This is officer Johnson of the Chicago Police department here!" The officer only gets to what Adams hears is silence. "Something's not right here. If I'm not back in 10 minutes, call central." Johnson says as he then hands Adam's a radio before he then heads forward into the area.
The passage of time is dull and uninteresting to Adam, who is about to fall asleep when he hears a gunshot ring out. This causes him to immediately awaken to pay attention to what is going on. Before Adam can decide to start asking for Johnson, he hears some more Gunshots before seeing a bloodied Johnson return to the vehicle. "Shit shit shit!" Johnson curses as he quickly gets inside the vehicle before getting on the radio. "Central! Central do you copy!? This is officer Johnson of police cruiser 5-1 under fire and requesting backup immediatl-!" Johnson is interrupted by the sound of a door being opened infront of him, Adam and Johnson turn their eyes to the sound and their eyes widen by a white caucasian male holding an RPG-7 that is now pointed at the car.
"Book it!" Adam yells as his head is then knocked against the dashboard by the RPG-7 round hitting near the vehicle. Despite their power, sometime the weight of the grenade causes the accuracy of the shot to vear, this causes the car to flip over and both Johnson and Adam's to crumple against the 'floor' of the car now. "Shit! Officer! Are you alright?!" Adams quickly say's to no response from the officer. "Fuck! Get them before they call for help!" A loud female voice shouts out as Adam quickly widens his eyes in realization. "I gotta get out of here!" Adam roars as he then tries to kick the window out of the cruiser. Not getting much leeway due to his famished body. Turning to see the window to the officer is broken somewhat, Adam smashes his elbow into it, widening it enough for his cuffed hands to get through and unlock his cuffs. He also attempts to grab the officer's gun but is interrupted by the sound of something reloading.
Grabbing Johnson's baton, Adam smashes the window behind him before crawling out. And in good time too as another RPG round hits the vehicle, destroying it along with Johnson who was inside it. "Fuck! Get him!" The guy with the rocket launcher orders as 3 guys with AK-47U's come out of the house to point their weapons at Adam. Running away to get into a more defendable position, Adam gets hit in the right thigh a couple of times as he falls over the railing of a patio to a house that he was attempting to run into.
Quickly scrambling to run forward, Adam hears the sound of the people who are attacking him coming after him with a fanaticism about them. "This is turning out to be one hell of a day!" Adam dryly jokes as he hides behind the house before contemplating his options. In a fight against these guys, they had the range and firepower to kill him easily. It also didn't help that his thigh was injured which will slow down him movement. Running would be a good option, but as he was preparing to leave, he dropped the radio Johnson gave him. Bending over painfully to pick it up, he see's a picture taped onto the back of the radio. It shows Johnson smiling with his right arm holding a women next to him...aswell as a baby.
Time freezes for Adam as he see's his own blood near the radio. An image of an adult male and women on the ground holding a baby is shown near a pool of blood, Adam attempting to reach them weakly. His sense of time distorted, he sees the barrel of one of the AK-47U's come over only for his eyes to glare at the person with murderous rage.
Play The time has come DMC4
The person who was holding the AK, didn't know what hit them as the baton was used in a backwards striking motion. Smashing his right eye to his outcry of pain. Dropping his weapon from the pain as he holds his now removed right eye. The killer didn't see Adam grab the weapon before pulling the trigger on him. This causes his chest to rip open, showing his insides to the people their as he falls over.
"I'm gonna kill all of you bastards." Adam proclaims as his eyes seem to show a very demonic glare. All he gets in response is the other gunman shooting at him. Not even caring for his own safety anymore, Adam rushes the gunman, getting the police baton to shatter from a stray shot. Jumping forward, Adam stabs the remnants of the baton into the mouth of the gunman to his right, killing him as his buddy tries to react in time with his ally being killed.
Adam only points the assault rifle at the man's face before pulling the trigger, splitting his face in half to his shock. His weapon arm twitched and fired a couple of rounds off into the air, hitting Adam's left arm roughly. Jostled backwards, Adam grabs the body of the gunman who was hit with the broken baton and uses him as a shield from the bullets that was coming his way by the leader. Grabbing the knife's off of the dead hitman's chest, Adam runs forward, rage fuelling his hurt body as the guy with the rocket launcher fires another rocket at Adam. The Propelled explosive blasts near him, propelling him into the air to stab the now shocked heavy support into the top of his head.
As he lands on the ground, Adam is knocked back by the female leader who uses her pistol before attempting to reload the weapon. Grabbing the weapon, Adam then slams his right shoulder into the women's jugular to her panic as she backs off. Pointing the weapon at her head, Adam see's that it's still empty. Throwing the weapon behind him, Adam then jumps onto the women before Punching her repeatedly in the face, attempting to smash it in.
"Die! Just Die!" Adam roars in a beastial manner as he continues his attack. He would've killed her by the ferouciousness of the attack had it not been for some people interfering. "Police! Step Away from the women and lay down on the ground now!" A female officer says as Adam only growls before he, reluctantly, gets off of the leader who only smirks as he then gets down onto the ground. While he does this, he doesn't notice the leader pull out a knife from her boot. While she also gets down as the officer approaches, she prepares to stab the officer only for a quick split decision to go across her. She then changes her target to Adam who is not expecting anything to happen.
Adam is taken out of his thoughts by the women stabbing her razor sharp knife into the lower rib area on his back. His eyes widened by the pain, he doesn't hear the scuffle go on between the officer and the leader. Feeling his consciousness fading, Adam decides to finish this once and for all. Scrambling forward, he tackles the leader onto the ground before she can stab the officer with her second blade. "Now!" Adam commands as the officer fires her gun at the leader. This kills her as it enters her ribcage and ruptures her internal organs.
Grinning at this, Adam falls over, his vision going black and white to his weakened minds knowledge. The female officer runs over to check on him, but see's his condition and shakes her head in disbelief. "Is...is she dead?" Adam asks weakly to the officer's nod. "She...or rather her men, killed johnson. Sorry about the mess." Adam jokes tiredly as his eyes start to close somewhat. "Stay awake!" The female officer shouts out as she tries to stop the bleeding, but cannot. "I'm a goner here lady. Just get your job done with everything else alright?" Adam says to her disbelief as she then replies "Thank you." Adam's vision completely goes out, seeing the female officer running to her vehicle to call central.
As she looks away, she doesn't see Adam's body be surrounded by dark tendrils of energy which drags him into the ground. By the time she turns around, every trace that he was there is gone. Erased from her sight.
Year 2017, Desperado Inc. Headquarters.
Walking into the medical procedure room, a nearby tech assistant is checking off the unused medical containers. "Alright, Gamma-34, Sigma-82, Zeta-45, and...huh?" The tech says to himself as he checks the data he's getting from the last medical container. "This can't be right. Hey mike!" The tech assistant yells as his teacher comes to him, looking extremely grumpy. "What did you do now Tom? Damage the fuel cells again?" Mike asks his assistant as he flushes in slight embarrassment/anger. "That only happened once and you know it!" Tom replies in a defensive manner. Grinning at this, Mike gets to business so as to avoid any more accidents caused by Tom. "Anyway, what's the problem? You know that I have alot of things to do with the Metal gear we got to modify." Mike then slightly see's something move in his peripheral vision, but ignores it to focus on his assistant as he answer's the question.
"I think that it's either a program glitch but," Tom points to a nearby medical container. "It says that Phi-02 is in activity, but that's...!?" Tom then jumps backwards as he see's a hand slap onto the edge of the container. Mike reacts quicker and pulls out his desert eagle side-arm to begin pointing at the container. "Get security down here now Tom!" Mike orders fiercely as Tom nods and quickly runs to go get them, only for him to stop as Mike replies. "My god, what in the hell happened to this guy, Jesus Fucking Christ." Doing an action that he'll regret later, Tom turns around to see a male human. Held in the tube with his left arm completely removed from his body, the arm is floating around the container to his disgust. But what is really bad is that his right leg is gone from the thigh downward.
All traces of the leg gone from his body, burned clean off...alongside 2nd degree burns. Looking to his face, Tom widens his eyes in realization. "Jesus! Its a kid!" Mike also widened his eyes to this knowledge. Getting onto the radio, he calls out. "Security! We have an Injured male child in a medical container down here on floor B-32! Get your asses down here now!" Mike then hears the sound of clanking on the other side before holstering the radio.
Several hours later
Waiting outside the door to the Medical facility is Sundowner who looks through the window to see the medical personal stabilizing the unknown male. Turning his attention to the two people who found the kid, Sundowner asks. "So you found this child in an unused medical chamber with no clear sign of entry?" Mike nods at this as Sundowner could only put his right hand to his face, in deep thought. He couldn't think of how this person came into the facility, they were especially tight on security as transferring a Metal Gear into the building took way too much planning and clearance as well.
Before Sundowner could continue to question the technician, the door behind him opened. "How could a human without cyber...Oh! Mr. Sundowner! I didn't expect you to be down here? I'm sorry for taking your time up for something as insigni-." Sundowner holds his left hand up to the persons face before replying. "It's not Insignificant if someone got through our security on full alert status without setting off any alarms. Now what were you saying before you saw me?" Sundowner is then greeted by the nod from the scientist. "It's completely impossible, but he's still alive...without any form of cybernetic enhancement on his body, which should have killed an adult by the pain." Sundowner quirks an eye at this, for it reminds him Of Jetstream Sam with his few cybernetics, yet he's a match for even himself in combat.
"Interesting, so is he awake?" Sundowner asks somewhat impatiently as he want's to see the person of interest. "Y-Yes, he's asking where he is as he doesn't know, and we checked, he isn't lying in that regard." Sundowner then moves past the scientist to see the person. Still floating in his chamber, Adam asks. "Who are you?" Sundowner only looks straight into Adam's eyes before replying. "My name is Sundowner, of Desperado Inc. And I'll ask you something, who are you?" Sundowner slightly grabs his blades underneath his trenchcoat incase the scientists missed something. "My name? Its Adam, just Adam." Adam admits before slightly turning his head in the tube.
"I have got to admit, medical equipment sure has gotten advanced for 2013." Sundowner quirks an eye at this. "I'm sorry, did you say 2013?" Sundowner inquires as Adam replies "Yeah? This is Chicago right? I'm glad that you guys saved me from that attack by those crazy gang guys, but how did you stop me from bleeding out? I thought I was too injured from the stab wounds for the blood flow to stop?" Sundowner only gets more confused. "I hate to break the news to you, but you're in Denver, the year is 2017, and you're not only injured by stab wounds, you've lost your left arm and right leg along with multiple burn wounds." Sundowner explains as Adam thinks for a second.
"Wait...WHAT!? The last thing that happened to me was that I passed out from blood loss in Chicago!? And what's this about it being 2017?! I've been gone for 4 Fucking years?! What the fuck is going on around here!?" Adam was panicking as he tried to move his missing limbs, only for nothing to happen. "What in the hell happened to me!?" Adam screams a bloodchilling yell out into the air as he realizes something. "Wait a fucking minute here!? This is the Metal gear rising: Revengeance game I played before the drive by! Then that means that this guy is the real Sundowner! Shit shit shit! This is so bad!" Adam thinks to himself in his head quickly as his heart rate monitor starts to rise rapidly in unison to his distress, fooling all sensors about what is happening in his head.
"Calm him down with a sedative before he reopens the wounds!" A nearby scientist commands as multiple doctors apply the items to Adam's tank, calming him down. "Since you can't move around normally and since you have come into a highly confident facility owned by us, I have a..'proposition' for you." Sundowner starts as he can see having an extra soldier would be an advantage. "And that is?! Are you going to turn me into a robotic mutant or something?!" Adam says in a high pitch voice. "Somewhat. We can't allow anyone who has been in this facility to reveal the information to anyone else, so-" Sundowner then makes his HF scissor of death before pointing it at Adam's container. "-Join Desperado, and we'll let you live as a PMC for us." Sundowner explains as Adam only looks at the weapons in fear.
"...Okay okay! Just put those damn weapons away from me, they give me the creeps." Adam quickly admits defeat as Sundowner grins in victory over his opponent. "Just do me one favor would you?" Adam pleas with Sundowner who only disinterestedly asks. "What? After doing your job you'll quit? Sorry, that won't be happening." Adam interrupts him. "NO! Just let me keep my man parts atleast damnit! I need to feel human somewhat right?" This causes Sundowner to look at him for a quick second before starting to laugh evilly. "Sorry, but a full body conversion is what you need, and as such, you cannot have them." Adam widens his eyes in horror as he covers his 'pride' with his right arm to Sundowner's continued laughter.
Year, 2183 CE Outside orbit of Therum, Artemis Tau Cluster.
Commander Shepard, one of the first Human spectres, aswell as a man, tries to handle things as best as he can. Many might call it hopeless optimism, but he doesn't, he sticks to his beliefs. And right now, his feelings are screaming at him to press the cancel button for his call to the citadel infront of him. His belief's however, decide that this would be a very bad situation to arise if he does that.
Trying to retort to the Turian Ambassador, Commander Shepard is interrupted by Joker talking over him. "Commander?" Ignoring him for the moment, Shepard replies. "I'm sorry If I offended your sense of duty Ambassador, but this is my ship. If you have a problem with my decisions, you can-" "COMMANDER!" Joker roars over the Intercom surprising Shepard along with the ambassadors. "It seem's that your pilot could use some lessons aswell." The Turian ambassador replies quickly like a snake. "I don't think that's the case Ambassador, Joker doesn't interrupt me unless its Dire...be back as quick as I can." Sheppard politely says as he terminates the call.
Taking a deep breath, Sheppard replies over the Intercom. "What's wrong Joker?" The response he gets next is confusing. "We just recovered an escape pod of unknown manufacture near our position, it looks to have someone inside of it." Joker says as Shepard asks "Well, then what's the problem? You have Docter Chakwas along with T'Soni helping out, so I don't think that you'd need to inform me infront of the Amb-!?" Shepard is interrupted by the sound of Chakwas over the intercom. "Th-That isn't the problem Shepard." Hearing Chakwas sound distressed was new to Shepard, and thus, he dragged his full attention to her voice over the Intercom.
"Then what is the Problem Chakwas?" Shepard asks only to regret that later as a distorted voice replies over the intercom. "I have this, 'Chakwas' hostage right now, so 'commander' I would like it if you would bring anyone you want down into this medical facility so I can talk to you...that would be agreeable no?" Shepard's blood freezes in his veins from the murderous intent brought over the intercom. "Who in the hell are you?!" Shepard demands as he only hears silence. "You'll get your answer's soon enough, just get down here or else I'm blowing this entire facility to hell along with myself." the voice repeats again as Shepards hands shake in slight rage.
Outside the medical Bay...with backup.
"Shepard." Wrex says in acknowledgment as he unholster's his shotgun. "I'll try to get a shot in at him incase anything happens...alright Shepard?" Garrus replies as he pulls out his Sniper rifle, only for Ashley to reply. "And take out Chakwas too!? I knew that you were a-" "Ashley..." Shepard says in a warning tone of voice as Kaiden taps his shoulder. "I'll handle her Shepard, you just do what you do best." Kaiden says as Shepard grins slightly "What? Getting you a date Kaiden?" this causes Wrex and Garrus to chuckle slightly. Shepard then notices something. "Where's Tali and Liara?" Shepard asks as Garrus points outside a broken window to the medical bay, Tali laying on the ground resting...also unconsious. "The second he was awake Tali fired a round at him for some reason, he then grabbed her and threw her through the damn window before anyone could react. He then grabbed Chakwas and then holed back up into the room which Liara's in." Garrus replies as Shepard curses underneath his breath.
"This is gonna be a real bitch and a half *Sigh*. I'm going in." Shepard states as he goes in through the door. Walking up next to the door to the reserve med bay, Shepard is surprised by the voice from before replying. "Are you the commander?" Shepard takes a slight step back as he replies. "Yes, I'm commander Shepard of the Normandy. No-one else is behind me-." "I see 4 people behind you attempting to follow you silently without your notice, alongside that, one of them is prepping some explosives in order to breach the door that I'm behind." Shepard widens his eyes before rapidly turning around to the dumbfounded faces of his compatriots. Mouthing a 'What the Fuck' to them, he gets the same as he turns back around.
"What are your demands?" Shepard asks as he stays where he is, because he doesn't know what his unknown hostage taker is doing. "My demand is simple, I want your agreement to let me fix my visor unit due to one of your compatriots shooting at me. This damage is not serious, but it is a problem as I am having difficulty telling targets beyond a 100 feet radius from this location." Shepard can't believe what he's hearing. "Wait...how in the hell are you detecting that!?" The commander only gets silence before a reply occurs. "That's for me to know and you to not, for if I were to tell you, I would self-destruct and anything within a 200 foot radius of me will be obliterated." Shepard freezes in place once again as Garrus replies. "You've gotta be kidding? He's a walking bomb? Damn." Garrus then reluctantly returns his gun back to place along with Wrex to Kaiden and Ashley's confusion. "If he can blow up from that, one of our shots could blow us up aswell." Wrex says begrudgingly as he starts to crack his knuckles together.
"All I want is this to be fixed, then be removed from this underwater facility here to Chicago Illinois, U.S.A. without any trouble. Any change will cause me to annihilate this entire facilities personal before procuring an escape vehicle." The voice says again as Shepard looks at the guys again. "Underwater? We're in..." Ashley starts only for Shepard to give her a hand gesture to tell her to be quiet.
"Is that all of your demands?" Shepard asks, hoping to find out more about this confused person on the other side of the door. "...Yes, you and your companions can now come inside, but any person who attempts to attack me will be killed with extreme prejudice...understood?" The voice replies in a informative tone. Shepard gulps slightly as he's somewhat afraid of what's on the other side of the door now.
"I'm feeling fear? This is the first time in years since I was afraid...and I haven't even seen this guy yet!" Shepard thinks to himself in his head as he prepares to open the door, only for it to not open?! "Um...why isn't it opening..It worked before." The voice says which causes Chakwas to reply "You shorted out the control panel when you thru Tali outside." Shepard face faults while Garrus has to stifle laughter that might erupt from him at the idiot behind the door.
"Well...this is awkward." The voice replies as Shepard tries to think of a way to get them out of there. "I have a quick question for you commander." Shepard's attention switches from his thoughts to his surroundings as he replies "Shoot." "Do you want the door down in pieces, or intact?" The voice causes Shepard to look confused for a moment only for the voice to reply, "I'll take it as not being split in pieces. Step back Chakwas." The voice says as the sound of something humming in the air occurs. "And just what do you think you're going to do with that!?" Chakwas states in a quick fashion to the groups confusion. "What are you-!?" Shepard is interrupted by 2 blades, doing a vertical slash on the left/right of the door hinges. Jumping back, Shepard is then greeted with the blades returning from their spot before they go through the top and bottom parts of the door to which Kaiden shouts. "Holy shit!"
And as the swords disappear from sight, they get this response. "I would move out of the way of the door now, my kicking power will cause it to fly toward the elevator." The unknown person warns. Not taking any chances, Shepard immediately jumps through the window that Tali went through as Garrus and the others followed likewise before the door flew from a loud clang as metal upon metal is heard. Going outward in a quick fashion, it smashes through the window above Chakwas's desk, destroying it utterly and spraying shards across the central area. It then collides into the side of the elevator and stays into it. Looking at the now combined wall before turning their head's rapidly as someone starts to walk out. "Oh my god." Ashley mutters under her breath as she see's the person, who isn't Chakwas or T'soni.
The words that Ashley said were appropriate as the skeletonal warrior of metal appears infront of them. His arms bearing a resemblance to Jetstream Sam's right arm but with claws on the fingertips, sharp and dangerous as his chest looks padded for a great amount of protection. But not enough to give him a Bulky appearance. His legs in a greyish black armor have ample protection, but the key thing to pay interest to is that on the back of his legs are two long blades that look razor sharp. At the end of the blades on the back of his legs, are 6 Knives of some sort that look to be quickly grabbed and thrown at the opponent of the user.
To the sides of his waist are two compounding sheaths that are held in place with a track system and have a clip into the area near the entrance for their blades. Said blades are held in the hands of the person who flicks them downward out of habit. This shows that one of the blades is a Muramasa styled weapon while the other is unusual, a Sakabato. But the more unusual fact is that the Muramasa blade is colored a reddish gold while the sakabato is colored black. Looking at the last thing that caught the people's attention is the visor that has a sizable dent in it from a round of some sort impacting into it. However, the main details of the visor could be seen as it has 3 eyes on 3 separate armors around the top part of the head which look to somewhat go together in the connection point. With 2 smaller plates covering the chin before a larger plate goes up from the neckbone to the chin on all sides.
A moment of silence passes by as the mechanical oddity infront of them replies. "I really could use some help opening my visor if you guys would be so kind." Shepard only looks at Wrex who looks back at him in confusion. Sighing at this, Shepard only gets off of the metal floor he was on before dusting himself off. Walking up next to the being. Shepard replies. "Are you a geth?"
Play The Stains of time Metal gear rising revengeance ost
Hearing those words cause something of a pause for the mechanical warrior. Shepard and then the crew are then surprised by the laughter to come from the interesting individual infront of them. "Ok, what's so funny? He was just asked if he was a geth right?" Garrus replies as the others only shrug. Stopping his laughter, the being infront of them only sheathes his blades quicker than what the people their could track before putting his right hand onto his visor.
In a show of force, he starts to rip the metal off of his face to the shock of the people in the room as the piece flies onto Tali's body, groggily making her awaken. "Oh Boshtet, I feel like I was trampled by a krogan." Tali groans as she lifts the piece of the visor up to her confusion. "What's?..." Tali starts only to see where it came from, the armored warrior. Pulling her shotgun out, Tali is going to shoot when she see's something that shocks her. "What in the Hell?!" Kaiden shouts as he see's human flesh underneath the exposed part from the head.
"I don't know what a geth is, but..." Underneath the visor was an moving eyepiece like Sundowner which folds back to reveal a cyborg Red eye that flashes before glaring at Tali. "If you pull the trigger again lady, then I'll pull mine." The man puts his hand on his right sheath before pointing at Tali with it. "Please, like you could hit me with a sword at this distance." Tali replies confidently before it disappears as the man pulls the trigger, a shockwave occurring at his spot which knocks Shepard on his ass and the Sword flying out of the sheath, flipping around to impale the Shotgun that she had in her hands to which the only thing left was the Trigger itself.
Looking at the person in dumbstruck disbelief, Tali then see's that he has his hand on the other sheath in order to fire. Gulping, Tali only puts her hands up in defeat as the man only releases his hand on his weapon to help Shepard up. "So your the commander hm?" The man asks as Shepard nods to his own amusement. "Sorry about the rude manners I have, I'm trying to curb them but it's kinda hard when you were supposed to fight against other cyborgs and the like." The man apologizes as Shepard replies. "Ok, I'll need to say it. Who in the hell are you?" To this, the man only looks at Shepard before answering thus. "My name is Tornado..." Turning more clearly toward Tali and the others, He continues. "Tornado Adam's. Desperado Inc. Cyborg Ninja. Pilot of Metal gear Rexaus. Pleased to make your acquaintance." Adam replies as his visor folds back now that the impeding parts have been taken care off.
His face shows slight wear but nothing to much to note, his hair is now silver which gives him a devilish look as he looks around the room, taking in the surroundings. As he does this, Shepard inquires. "Um...did you say a Cyborg Ninja?" The reason Shepard asks this is because the idea sounds ludicrous in the first place. "Yeah. Along with being the pilot of Metal gear Rexaus...anything else you needed to know?" Adam asks as he only jumps over the broken window and goes to retrieve his weapon. Pulling it out of the wall it was in, Adam once again flicks the blade down to clean it off before sheathing it. Turning around, Adam see's Garrus and Wrex to his interest as he replies. "What's the year?" Shepard only looks at him in confusion before Adam repeats the question. "I said what's the year?!" Shepard only quickly replies. "2183 CE is the year Adam's."
Sighing at this Adam only scratches his head before leaning against the wall where the sword was stabbed into it. "Great...just great. This is the second time this stupid thing has happened. I swear, once I find out who is doing this shit to me I'm gonna gut them." Adam mutters quickly before seeing Shepard look at him in confusion. "Sorry, it's just the last time this happened I woke up 4 years in the future. Now? I woke up 166 years further than i was at? Goddamnit." Adam curses as he then kicks the wall, making a large dent in it to the group's surprise.
"Look," Shepard starts a he puts his hand onto Adam's back before getting quite a glare from Adam himself. "What? If you have something to say, then say it now." Adam replies as he then holds his hand on the trigger once again. Slighty gulping, Shepard answers. "Look, I know you're in a weird place right now..." Shepard only gets a questioning look by most of his crew to which he only waves his hands around slightly, translated thus. 'Just go with it.' Before continuing. "But we need your help with something..."
Quirking an eye at this, Adam replies. "And needing my help is done by shooting me in the face when I wake up?" Adam then glares at Tali who only sheepishly blushes at this. Shepard then replies. "Yeah...not exactly the kindest wake-up I've seen but still, we need your help with something." Adam only sighs as he then crosses his arms before putting his metallic back against the wall he was on. "Do you even know what I do commander?" Adam asks as Shepard only shakes his head no. "I'm from a PMC. And counting you guys never heard about me I guess that my species was written out of the picture." Adam only looks up at the ceiling as Ashley asks. "What's a PMC?" This causes Adam's to reply. "Private Military Company. Think of it like a Mercenary Military group." Shepard then speaks. "So like the Blue Suns?" Adam replies. "Who now?" "Nevermind." Shepard answers.
"Whatever." Adam replies before getting off of the wall and continuing. "Fact remains, I'm going to need repairs and electrolytes if I'm going to fight or the like." Raising an eyebrow to this, Chakwas politely asks. "Electrolytes? Why do you need them?" Turning to her, Adam replies. "I burn them quickly to use my increased capabilities. As such, I need either a proper power source from my enemy-." "Enemy?" Ashley inquires as Adam only points a finger at her. "No interrupting unless its life threatening." To this Ashley grumbles as Adam continues. "Or I need to consume some form of hyper Electrolyte package in order to keep performance at optimum capacity."
"How exactly do you get the energy from an enemy?" Shepard inquires while praying to whatever being above that it wasn't what he thought it was. "Well back when I fought," Adam starts before pulling out a knife and putting it flat onto his hand. "I grabbed the core energy unit from the cyborgs after...'alieviating' their problems." Adam states as Shepard then asks. "You don't mean..." Adam then looks at Shepard quickly before saying. "I rip out their core energy unit, which could be compared to a 'heart' of a regular human and then I absorb the liquids-.""Stop stop stop stop stop!" Adam then stops his talking to see Liara, after coming out of the room, curled up and her hands on her ears. "Please no more...no more talk of that. Its...barbaric." Liara whispers out as Adam only quirks an eye to this. "Its not like I eat it..." "No more!" Liara demands as Adam takes a step backwards.
"Well, you certainly have interesting people commander...?" Adam turns himself back to where Shepard and his other companions were at...however they aren't their at all? "Huh? Where did they go?" Adam starts as he then taps his foot onto the ground slightly.
To where Shepard was is the captain's quarters with the rest of his companions. "Shepard, I know you are one persuasive bastard, but I don't know if it's alright to have a guy who rip out people's hearts on our team and can freaking cut through things with swords." Garrus states as he then gets another response. "While I'll admit the guy is interesting, he does give off the whole 'I'm gonna kill you for looking at me wrong vibe' going on." Kaiden says this as Wrex counters the arguement. "Who cares if he rips out peoples hearts, if he can do more of the shit he did back when he woke up then i'll have a new person to spar against."
Wrex then laughs as Tali retorts. "Are you a Boshtet Wrex? If he can cut through a door held with mass effect fields to open and close, he can cut you in half." Wrex only glares at the Quarian before Ashley replies. "Either way Shepard, you've got to decide what we are going to do with him. Put him back to sleep or use him, its your choice." Ashley then gets surprised by the said person of whom she is talking about coming through the ceiling to their fright!
"There you guys were, I was trying to continue talking to you about the specifics of my needs when you disappeared. That's quite mean to do on a quest without asking him his permission." Adam states as the group look at him with wide eyes. "How in the hell did you get in here!?" Ashley screeches as Adam points to the Ceiling he came out off. "I climbed through and popped into here. Its as simple as that." Adam only gets a quick shout from Tali. "That can't be right! You would've needed to go through the eezo core area in order to find a path to here." Adam only looks at them before replying. "Eezo? You mean the blue/purple chamber thing at the center of this ship? I found it when I was looking for you guys and then I found a blueprint of the facility." Tali only groans at the riduclousness of the situation.
"So now that we are back together," Adam starts as the group look at him expectantly. "Can I get some food please?" This causes the group to facefault as they weren't expecting this.
Cafeteria.
Looking at disbelief at what is occurring, Shepard sees the after eating 5 plates of what Garder cooked up. (He still doesn't even know what to call the food even after giving him cooking materials.) Adam asks once again for another dish. This causes Garder to laugh as he is finally getting someone to enjoy the food he makes. "Surprisingly heavy amounts of all basic needed nutrients and less Electrolytes than a regular pizza...hmmm...next plate please." Adam only gets further eyes of disbelief by the crew except for the chef who is gladly giving the leftovers of the food he created to the cyborg warrior who is inhaling the food faster than what can be believed.
After finishing his 10th plate, Adam then stops before wiping his face off with a nearby napkin and then dusting off his hands. "Ok, while it isn't what I expected, I should be able to atleast go to 60% of power output for a mission." Adam states as he starts to move his wrists around to remove the stiffness in them. "Mission?" Shepard asks as Adam only replies. "Well yeah, if you need a show of my abilities before Hiring me then this will do it. And if you don't like me then you can leave me behind on the mission." Adam gets wide eyes from the group as Ashley starts to talk. "You don't mean like a suicide mission..do you?"
Adam only looks at the female soldier before replying. "Well yes, I've been left behind by my allies multiple times for not being quick with my jobs that needed to be done. Isn't it the same here if you screw up too many time you leave the being who causes such trouble behind?" Wrex then gives a good nod at this as once, a member of the merc team he was with for a mission was left behind. Not a pleasant memory but it happens.
"So where are we going off to? If it'll show what I can do for a hiring then I'll do it." Adam asks as he only crosses his arms as Shepard thinks of what they are going to do..Now that he thinks about it..."We're going to head to Noveria. Apparently Saren himself was seen in the area." Shepard replies as Adam nods. "Basically, you want me to kill him? Simple." Adam replies as he then starts toward the elevator, only for Garrus to grab his shoulder. "Look, I don't know what you used to do when fighting...wherever you came from, but as far as I can see, you have no barrier of any form and no long range projectiles either. You can't just go krogan it up in a place like this...sorry about that Wrex." Garrus apologizes to his nearby compatriot.
"Hmph." Wrex grunts out as he crosses his arms before leaning against a metal wall. Before he can turn his head back to Adam, Garrus sees something in his peripheral that causes him to freeze. A knife, the one on the back of his left foot, is now pointed directly at his jugular to his surprise alongside the foot aswell. Before anything can be done, the blade then starts to vibrate to the groups confusion. "Time to show you that having HF weapons can beat your shitty guns anyday." Adam says as he puts his leg near the now moved door that was impeded into the elevator.
Jumping forward, Adam then spins in place before flowing his leg through the door. Facing the group, Adam raises his left leg to swing quickly at the general area of Shepard. What occurs is 3 pieces of the metal door to begin flying past his face so close it would've cut him and then go through the wall behind him into the medical bay. Looking back at Adam shocked, Adam only taps the ground he is on to show the now burnt and smoking ground that he is on. "And you were saying about barriers?" Adam chides Garrus as he could barely keep up with the reaction time. "Wha...?" Tali starts as she can't believe what just happened. "Us Cyborg ninja's are able to dodge and deflect projectiles all the while using our High Frequency Blades to destroy anything that it came into our way...Do you want a further demonstration about why they call me Tornado?" Adam says as he puts his hands on his swords to accentuate his seriousness.
"No..I don't think I need anymore shown, I believe I have more than enough of an impression of you to make the decision for you to go on this mission without any problems." Shepard replies as Adam grins.
