Hey guys, this is the second chapter of my ME X Doom fic. I'm also very surprised with the first chapter getting Fifteen followers on the first night and day, also got some reviews too. I'm legitimately surprised by this. Anyway, on to the reviews!
REVIEWS RECEIVED…
OPENNING REVIEWS FOR DEAD SPACE FANFIC…
DONE…
Captain Orion Zete: Glad it's interesting for ya.
Guest: Forgot about Warhammer 40K, those damn orcs.
Eu sou um fa: I just seen about half of the "I then" and I started getting a headache as well. The reason for so many of them is usually when people write they sometimes don't notice they write things like "I then" A LOT, as you saw I'm also a victim in doing that. I'll be working on that issue.
Th3DoomSlay3r: Thanks dude, fixed that mistake I made.
GoodguysRoverated: Already talked to you in a PM but I hope this further explains Jeremy than what I said.
Stratos263: Glad you liked it.
CLOSING REVIEW SCREEN…
I'm actually happy that so many people followed the story, as well as Eu for pointing out me saying "I then" so much, and Slay3r for pointing out me leaving out the Super Shotgun.
Anyway, on to the story.

{Elysium 2176 CE, Mass Effect 1 Hour Before the Skyllian Blitz}
POV: Jeremy 'DoomSlayer' Jager
I regained consciousness in what appeared to be a bed in a hospital. I looked around to find a window to see where I was. I did find the window, but I didn't recognize where I am at.
"Ah good, you're awake." I hear a lady say as I was looking out the window. I turned toward her and saw a Human woman there in usual nurse attire.
"Hello, do you know where I am?" I ask her, hoping to figure out where I was at, and what year.
"Why, you are on Elysium. And just in case you ask, it's May 4th, 2176." She says to me, causing my eyes to widen. (They didn't have an accurate date, so I made one.) I look towards a mirror on the wall and notice something different about me. Namely the fact that I'm 16 years old now.
"So, where are your parents at? You do need to head home after all." The nurse said to me, causing my eyes to downcast.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up bad memories." The nurse said with genuine sadness and concern written on her features. "At least she cares though." I think to myself.
"It's ok, you didn't know at all. I already made my peace with it." I told her to try and calm her down. And I made it worse with her getting even more concerned.
"What do you mean you made your peace with it? They died!?" She shouted, surprising me with how loud she got. I didn't expect someone to act like that.
"What's going on in here!" I hear a someone say outside in the hallway. I see the nurse move aside, concern essentially written in permanent marker on her face. I then see a male Human doctor come into the room.
"Oh, your awake." The doctor said as he examined me. "Well I can tell you that we found no injuries on you except for a few large bruises. I will tell you that you had our nurse here worried sick when she found you in an alleyway on her way to work." The Doctor said good-heartedly, trying to calm both of us down from when the nurse yelled earlier.
"Now, can you tell me what you were yelling about earlier." The Doctor said as he looked at the nurse.
"Yes sir, this child is apparently fine with his parents being dead." The Nurse said hanging her head a little. It caused the Doctor to start in surprise from what he heard.
"How is that-" He was cut off as an explosion went off outside causing the window to shatter. All three of us went over to the window to see what was going on. All we saw was people panicking and Pirate ships in the air setting down just outside the city.
"I need to get out there." I said as saw my pistol on the nightstand next to the medical bed I was on. I went up to it and grabbed it, racking the slide back while I was at it. This action also caused the doctor and nurse to break out of a daze they were in.
"You are not going outside you will…" She trailed off as I was able to pull out my Praetor Suit out of my pocket dimension. I put the suit on and made sure everything was on.
"Yes I am. I doubt there's someone down there with as much experience I have." I said as I put my Helmet on. "VEGA don't speak through the outer speakers, AI are illegal here." I say quickly before outer speakers turn on or VEGA says something.
"Ok sir. Just tell me when you need me." VEGA said as my helmet sealed fully with a hiss. I then see the doctor and the nurse with shocked expressions. I snickered a little when the outer speakers turned on.
"After all, this is not my first rodeo in this kind of thing." I say as I run and jump out the window, my helmet making my voice sound deeper. Turns out I was on the fourth floor of the hospital. I hit the ground with barely any damage done to me and started jogging, and me jogging to a normal person is someone else sprinting.
I then reach the area of where the explosion was at to figure out it was a breach in one of the walls. I see quite a few Alliance soldiers there with the city's militia, trying to hold of the pirates and slavers. I started jogging up to two of the alliance soldiers that looked like they needed help. They were currently being pushed into cover by two Batarians and one Krogan, time to see if I can help them with that.
"Oy, assface!" I yell at the three of them, causing the three pirates and two Alliance soldiers to stare at me as I was running towards the pirates.
"Wait, no!" I hear on of the two soldiers say, and he sounded very familiar for some reason.
The pirates were still a little shocked when I yelled at them, which worked to my advantage when I reached them. I reached the first Batarian and proceeded to kick in his knee, causing him to lower himself, as I proceeded to grab his head and slam it on the ground, causing it to pop like a watermelon dropped of the top of a building. This came with two effects, one was the Alliance soldiers being shocked at my pure brutality, and the second was to cause fear in the other Batarian, while it riled up the Krogan.
Since I was so close to the second Batarian I proceeded to wrap my hands around the back of his head, then brought it down on my knee, causing it to be obliterated. From the corner of my eye I see the two soldiers gun down the Krogan after they got over their shock.
"Nice shots." Is all I say to the two as I wipe off some imaginary dust off my hands.
"You just brutalized those two and that's all you say?" One of them asked incredulously.
"Yes." I say as I bring out my HAR. "Now come on! We gotta plug up that hole!" I yell at the two soldiers as I load a round into the chamber for added effect.
All three of us then started towards the hole, we were killing any and all pirates and slavers while assisting the soldiers and militia. We then reached the hole after five minutes of killing pirates and slavers. When we got there, we saw an army of the bastards rushing towards the wall.
"Holy shit. How are we going to kill them all?" I hear the familiar sounding soldier say, and I saw the other soldier nod. "Guess it's time to use the BFG." I think to myself as I bring it out. "Guys get behind me. I don't want y'all dead from what I'm about to do." I say in warning to them, hoping they heed my warning. Luckily they did, possibly because they think I'm going to do something very deadly, and they'd be right.
"What are you doing?" I hear the second soldier ask me with what sounded as trepidation in his voice. Good, my presence still instills fear.
"I'm going to kill most if not all of them in one shot." I say as the BFG was charging up. I also noticed that they both looked at each other before stepping back even further.
"PIRATES! MEET THE BIG FUCKING GUN NINE THOUSAND!" I yell out as I fire the BFG, cutting a swath in the Pirates and ultimately taking out 92% of them and destroying two of their transports in the process. After that everything just stopped, and then the pirates started to retreat, going to their transports.
"Holy shit son, what was that?" I hear the familiar sounding soldier ask me.
"That was the BFG-9000, aka the Big Fucking Gun-9000. It super-heats everything at a molecular level and causes them to explode like a potato in an oven." I explain to the both of them. I look out the hole and just watch them just run away as if the Devil was on their tail.
"Anyway, what's your name son?" I hear the familiar sounding soldier ask, seriously who the hell is he?
"Name's Jeremy, Jeremy Jager. What's yours?" I say as I take off my helmet, revealing that I'm actually 16 years old. I also saw them reel back in shock that a 16-year-old caused this much death and destruction.
"You're a kid!" Both soldiers exclaimed at the same time. I jumped a little when they yelled.
"Yeah." I say lamely, still recovering from my mini heart attack. "Anyway, what's your names?" I asked.
I then see the familiar sounding soldier remove his helmet, revealing a face that I'm all too familiar with. "I'm David Anderson." Anderson said, causing my eyes to widen. I then see the other soldier remove his helmet.
"I'm Robert Shepard, thanks for saving the both of us by the way." Robert said to me, causing my eyes to widen at that as well. He looked to be a default male Shepard but in his early 40s with a five 'o clock shadow and female default Shepard's red colored hair. "So that's where Female Shep got her hair color from." I thought to myself.
"Well, nice to meet you guys. And no problem with helping you guys." I say to the two now revealed soldiers. This day just got a hell of a lot more interesting.
"Anyway, where are you and your family going after this?" Robert said, causing me to sadden a bit. I haven't seen my family in what seems to be a long time, nor will I get to either. My saddened facial expression must have tipped him off though. "Oh, I'm sorry for your loss." Robert said to me, offering his condolences.
"They didn't die here if you're wondering, they died a long time ago, so don't worry about it." I said to him, causing him to look at me in surprise.
"Anyway, I'm thinking about heading to the Citadel once everything is cleaned up here. Maybe find a job there." I say, telling them about my plans on what I'm going to be doing. "I will need an Omni-Tool though, I don't have one." I say to the both of them, causing both to nod their heads in agreement.
"Well, we can figure this out later. Look." Anderson said then pointed towards something in the sky in amazement. Me and Robert looked to where he was pointing and saw the SSV Agincourt above the city and sending Alliance troops down to help civilians.
"Seems their a little late to the party." I said with a smile on my face. Things are going to be looking up.

{Two Days Later}
"Jeremy Jager, please step forward." I hear the Admiral Hackett say in a commendation ceremony being held for the 103rd Marine Division in the defense of Elysium. I then step forward hesitantly due to me not being used to this kind of attention. "For helping the Alliance 103rd Marine Division in defending against pirates and slavers, as well as single-handedly eliminating nearly their entire force, the Alliance awards you with the Star of Terra Nova. This is the greatest honor anyone can get. Wear it proudly young man." Hackett said as he handed me the medal, afterwards he then saluted me, along with the whole 103rd as well as Anderson. I then saluted back.
"I will sir." I said, my helmet being put away the entire time. I can't believe this, I never got something like this when I eliminated the Demon threat, only betrayed. This is honestly a welcome change of pace.

{One Hour After The Ceremony}
"I still can't believe that I was a part of the ceremony." I say in astonishment while drinking a glass of water. I was sitting next to Robert and Anderson in the hotel restaurant we were staying at. Apparently since I saved everyone, they gave me a free room with complementary Omni-Tool from an electronics shop since I didn't have one.
"Believe it Jeremy, me and the rest of the boys in the 103rd would have been dead if not for you. I possibly could have died and not seen my children again if not for you." Robert said to me. Robert was also a Sergeant in the 103rd as well, Anderson was just on leave and hanging out with Robert when the pirates hit.
"Yeah, and I wouldn't still be serving with the Alliance because of you." Anderson said to me. I honestly didn't expect Anderson to be on Elysium, but I'm not complaining. I even talked with Hackett a little bit when he asked if I was going to try and be an Alliance soldier, to which I respectfully declined saying that I was heading for the Citadel afterwards and find a new life there.
"Well I might just come with you Jeremy, me and my other family members are going to be on leave, so I decided for us all to head to the Citadel for Family Time." Robert said to me, shocking me with what he said.
"I'd be happy to have you along Robert." I said to him, causing him to laugh loudly.
"Well alright then, we will see you at the spaceport tomorrow Jeremy. We're going to the Citadel!" Robert exclaimed as both him and Anderson left to go to their rooms.
"Huh, this will probably be a good few years." I say to myself as I head to my own room.
{End of Chapter}
So, here's another chapter. It's slightly shorter than the Intro chapter but it's there to let you guys know how long until canon starts. I'll be making chapters that either continue the next day to two years from now in storyline, meaning I won't skip straight ahead to Eden Prime or something, I'll be doing chapters for before ME 1 starts. It's to build the character more for you guys.
Speaking of which, I am also here to bring you guys his sort of profile. Here it is:
Name: Jeremy 'DoomSlayer' Jager
Ethnicity: Native American
Born: September 4th, 1996
Hidden Codex Entry: Jeremy Jager was born in 1996 and grew up in Tennessee in the United States. He died in 2018 at the age of 22 due to a car accident where a hubcap flew off a tire and decapitated him.
He was then given a new purpose by the Forerunner known as the Librarian, to protect two universes, Doom from its' Demon Hordes, and Mass Effect from the Reapers. He was sent into Doom first to protect the innocent from Hell's Demonic Hordes.
It was here that Jeremy's psyche went somewhat downhill. Jeremy no longer cares about what he kills, if they're trying to harm the innocent, then he will brutally kill them as a way to strike fear in not only the offender, but in anyone trying to harm the innocent. He also views himself as a monster who kills other monsters due to his disconnect with life, which leads him to have slightly sadistic tendencies when he is facing large groups of opponents.
Despite him going through Hell, he will still try to save everyone he can. He will try and be a good friend to those who gain his trust, and a terrifying enemy to their enemies. Despite his appearance Jeremy tries to be someone that his friends can tell him their problems and he tells them how to solve it.
After being betrayed by Dr. Samuel Hayden, Jeremy and the Hell artifact, The Crucible, were tethered away and back into the Librarian's realm, to which she transported Jeremy to the Mass Effect Universe.
He later woke up on Elysium just before the Skyllian Blitz. Him along with Sergeant Robert Shepard and Captain David Anderson held off and decimated the pirates led by Elanos Haliat, a now former pirate leader. Jeremy was later rewarded the Star of Terra Nova for single-handedly destroying the large force of pirates and mercenaries, and causing what was left to retreat.
Squad Powers:
Infinite Ammo- Thanks to a hidden system that the AI VEGA found in Jeremy's Praetor Suit, the squad Jeremy is with will not have to worry about a cooldown for a short time. This will only last ten seconds before the power stops.
Brute Force- This power mainly effects locked doors and locked containers. Jeremy will rip open a containers lid or pry open a door due to his ridiculous strength. Can only use once per mission due to the amount of strength needed and used.
Berserker- Jeremy will fly into a berserker rage for thirty seconds and will destroy everything in his path brutally. Twenty-minute cooldown.
Loyalty Power: Unknown
Weapons:
Pistol with Wood grip finish: Unlimited Ammo, No Reload
Combat Shotgun: Grenade Launcher attachment, Three Round Burst Attachment
Heavy Assault Riffle (HAR): Rocket Pod Attachment, Scope Attachment
Vortex Rifle: Sniper Rifle Found in UAC Armory
Plasma Gun: Stun Bomb Attachment, Heat Blast Attachment. Plasma Automatic Rifle
Chainsaw
Gauss Cannon: Siege Mode, Precision Bolt Attachment
BFG-9000: The Big Fucking Gun 9000. Fires a giant green globule that destroys anything in its path at a molecular level.
Chaingun: Gatling Rotator Attachment, Mobile Turret Mode
Rocket Launcher: Remote Detonation Mode, Lock-on Burst Mode
Hellshot: Received in Hell. Igneous Attachment (Can cause flame damage over Time.) Demon Semi-Automatic Rifle
Fists: Instead of there being a Berserker Power-Up, Jeremy gets extremely pissed off enough to where he just uses his fist to kill everything in sight.
Super Shotgun: Manual Reload.
The Crucible: Hell Artifact made for the DoomSlayer by the Demon who betrayed his kind. A large Argent Energy Sword that only the DoomSlayer can use to its' fullest potential.
So, there you guys have it, a full character profile on Jeremy Jager and an updated weapons list. I'm still surprised so many people liked the first chapter I put out yesterday, thank you guys for giving my story a chance. It really does mean a lot to me.
I'll start on the next chapter tomorrow and we get to see where this story goes from there.
Next chapter is: Chapter 3 Meeting the Shepards.
(A/N) I just updated this a little bit, dekuton showed me something that I neglected, which was that they would just see Jeremy as a kid and not sixteen exactly.
Until next time guys.
Diamond, signing out.
