Chronicles of Demon Shepard Altered Time Line

Chapter 1: Mindoir

Location:?

Time Line:?

It all went to Hell so fast….

When I heard the word Reaper, I always thought of a skeleton in a robe holding a scythe… The character was a sign of death… now the Reapers we're fighting….

No kidding… Damon… I- Where did it go so wrong?

Good Question, I mean the Reapers we know of right now… If we knew what was coming maybe, just maybe the losses wouldn't be so terrible.

Keelah… we've come a long way since then… can you remember how it all started?

Yes, but the real question is why would I? The life back to the start was shit.

But there were good times, I remember the first time we met, you saved me on that night of Mindoir.

Ali I wasn't going to let you die… you pulled my ass out of the fire so many times.

I-I wish this never happened, the Reapers, the Collectors, the Council, and the raid of Mindoir…. We could've been living a normal life, a house on Mindoir, kids, a stable job.

Nothing we do is ever normal, what we did was for survival you and I both know it Ali, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

But… you were right, there were good times back then.

Mindoir….

October/30th/2168

You know I was never normal, being a biotic made some people hate me… Now being a rare biotic made some of the colonist fear me… Red Biotics. My Mom told me when the Asari doctors who delivered me, they were completely shocked from the scans they took from me. An Asari researcher came to our house when I was five… she offered my parents to take me to the Aramali Council on Thessia for research, you know for weekly visits, the pay was great, and I would've had lifetime checks… plus I would've been surrounded by potential dates. My parent's wanted none of that, and denied the generous offer. Now legally they couldn't take me… but if we left Alliance Space, I bet the Armali Council would have contacted that Bitch Tevos to send a Spectre to kidnap me. The reason they wanted me so bad was my Biotics technically shouldn't exist they practically break the laws of physics, the red aura that surrounded me gave it away. If it wasn't normal… Fuck it! I'll live the way I want to.

Damon was walking through the fields of Dawn Ridge holding his hand out to his right feeling the wheat fields as he walked along the path way. Damon was out all day exploring the suburbs of Mindoir, he was being tailed by Doctor Alora Jalosa, the Asari researcher sent by the Aramali Council to keep tabs on Damon. Damon eventually stopped to talk to the Asari doctor, he surprised her by taking her out to lunch. Damon was surprised to hear that she invited him to come back to her place, but Damon knew her affiliation when he saw the Aramali emblem on her pack, he politely turned her down stating he needed to get home, or his Mom would've killed him. Damon continued his way through the fields until he heard a high pitch shriek of terror from a vocalizer.

What the Fuck?!

Demon turned his body towards the direction of the scream, rushing towards the area. The scream originated from a shivering female Quarian how wore a Red envirosuit, she was on the ground looking at her attackers, and there were exactly three of them.

"Alright there's nowhere to go Quarian, I told you not to fucking run, so boys what are we going to do with her?"

The Quarian's eyes were shaking, she didn't know what do, no way out.

"Leave me alone!"

The leader of the attackers just glared at her giving her a demented crooked smile.

"I don't think anyone's talking to you Quarian."

Tears began to leak down her face as she was fearing the worst. The attacker on the leader's right spoke up.

"You know Berk I always wondered what a Quarian looks like under that bucket, the whole mystery of it, should we pop that glass and find out?"

Berk got over that Quarian kneeling down, grabbing her helmet trying to pry off the glass, the Quarian grabbed a rock near her slamming it in his face, making Berk stumble back as blood came out of his now broken nose. In a fit of rage Berk picked up the rock, and smashed in to the Quarian's visor breaking it to pieces. Berk wiped the blood off of his face while looking down at the Quarian.

"You fucking Bitch that wasn't nice at all now was it?! You're going to pay for that, boys hold her down, I'm peeling that fucking suit off!"

The Quarian knew she was dead, her faceplate was destroyed and the unfiltered air filled with bacteria began to invade her lungs, she prayed to the ancestors for a quick death before they could Rape her.

Berk was about to unzip her bottom suit, but was immediately stopped when he got tackled by a biotic charge, Berk collapsed on the ground, he tried to gain his footing but was kicked in the head by Damon. Blood sprayed up from the gash in Berks face. The other two tried to charge Damon, but Damon biotically pulled them, slamming his fists in to their guts, blood sprayed from their mouths from the damage of the impact.

The two attackers dropped to the ground and Damon began to approach the Quarian. Her vision was blurry she was fading in and out, her unknown rescuer, but she knew it was in vain she was dying from the open air exposure. Damon knelt down her grabbing her shoulders, the Quarian gloved hand rubbed against the blurry figures face. Damon's entire body engulfed in to a red aura, expanding to the Quarian as well.

Within seconds her vision became clear and felt better, she looked up to her rescuer seeing his clear smile.

"There you go you should be fine."

The Quarian was confused, she was wondering why she wasn't dead?

"Wh-what… How am I not dead?"

Damon gave a weak laugh.

"Well beautiful I kind of fixed your Immune system, while giving you the ability to eat Human food. You can thank me later."

She couldn't believe, that this was happening.

"I can't believe this is happening, what you did should be impossible."

Damon helped her on her feet, while giving her a pat on her back.

"Yeah… I kind of get that a lot…. Sooo where uh do you live?"

Ali looked to the direction of the City Space port off in the distance.

"I-I used to live with my Mother, I was going on my pilgrimage here, and my mother wanted to help me on mine, but our transport was attacked by Batarian Slavers, they took my Mother and I barely escaped… that was two days ago… So I have no place to go."

Fucking Hegemony Slavers, destroying lives for every person they take. This isn't right she can't survive down here without a place to live.

"Listen beautiful my family's got a ranch you can come live there with us, I'm sure they'll warm up to you when you meet them."

The Quarian's eyes just widened from hearing that from her rescuer.

Keelah did I hear right? I don't think any one's been this nice to me…. Let alone another Quarian.

"I- Thank you, I-I have a name you don't have to keep calling me beautiful…"

"Well you kind of are beautiful, and I'd love to hear your name."

The Quarian's eyes widened a bit from knowing her mistake.

He thinks I'm beautiful?! And I'm such an idiot I forgot to tell my rescuer my name!

"Keelah, I-I'm sorry, my name is Ali'Risha Nar Neema."

Jesus that's a mouthful!

"How about I call you Ali?"

Ali was noticeably wringing her hands acting all nervous in front of Damon.

"O-Okay…"

"Come on this way leads to our ranch."

Ali followed her rescuer to her new home, she tried to keep calm and quiet about it, but she forgot to ask her rescuer's name.

"Umm, excuse me…. I forgot to ask you…. What is your name?"

Keelah! Why am I acting like this?! I mean I just met him… and got an immune system from him… and I can eat his food, Ancestors...

Demon stopped while looking at Ali.

"Damon Shepard…"

Damon… I like the sound of his name.

"Damon…. Thank you."

Ali stepped in front of Damon, she placed her hands on both sides of Damon's face and smashed her lips in to his, the action surprised Damon, but he went with the spur of the moment.
