Okay…so far so good, anywho the actual cross over happens in the next chapter so yeah, don't be afraid to leave a review just make it creative if its criticism.
And I'll set a few things straight, yes I'm from Australia, and English is my first langue, I am however partially Dyslexic not with words they work most the time however I have some difficulties with grammar so yeah there's that it's like a 70/20 thing, Also I know Shepard's Gender switched some times in the first chapter, that was because I had a little trouble deciding which shep to use, so yeah sorry if I missed a few her's and such, also I know Shepard can get drunk in the Games, what the hell kind of question is that 'have I played mass effect two and three' that my friend is quite a stupid Query Specially if I'm writing a fic set in ME2, but don't expect things to be word for word or action for action Changes have been made (I hope that cleared up a few things). Story time now (also more Warhammer in this Chapter then Mass Effect)
Location: SR2 Normandy traveling to Omega system
Shepard sat in his cabin and sighed you'll see my pictures in the vids when I save this galaxy again? 'Way to sound like the biggest twat in the galaxy Vince' he sat in his chair slouching head in his hands, he'd hoped that he might make some head way with the council, but he did expect them to just say no, his console beep, as he looked up to see a message from Anderson, he opened it and began reading
Shepard,
The Council would like to apologize if they upset you, mind you only Tevos gave a real apology, but they would like to reinstate your Spectre Status, I've also connived the Alliance to reinstate you not fully, at least until your association with Cerberus has ended, then the Alliance Brass will want to speak to you,
I wish you luck Shepard, give the collectors hell
Anderson
Shepard smiled, at least the council wasn't that pissed with him, only if it was just Tevos, Shepard turned his head as he heard his door open
"Who is it" Miranda stepped into view with a data pad in hand
"Shepard, I know we might not have the time put I thought you should see this" she held out the data pad, Shepard took it and went over it, it was about a missing Cerberus Agent,
"Miranda why, would you think this could help us?"
"The agent who went missing had some very sensitive information on him; the illusive man is willing to pay a large sum for its recovery" Shepard thought about it, for a few seconds, he didn't want to help Cerberus, but he'd need the money, He stood and handed Miranda the data pad,
"Okay well set course for the Farthar system"
Location: Sector B-5 Tau Border Planet Veres IV (Imperial name)
"Keep formation Shas'la" the Crazed worshipers of Chaos made another attempted push at the Tau line, it was cut down just like the last, it confused many of the Tau, even a mad man should figure out not to put their hands where it hurts, it unnerved many of them, it had happened every hour or so another push at the Tau lines, and every hour or so the push would be cut down before they made it a few feet, the Tau didn't make attempts to push forward as they still waited for a response form the recon teams they'd sent forward
"Orders Shas'Uve we've still not heard back from the Recon team" the one in charge of the front at current was Shas'Uve'Tau'Or'es'Var left in charge by the Tau Shas'ar'tol
"We wait a few more Hours give them time, if they do not report in three hours, we can then assume them dead and begin a push"
"Affirmative Shas'Uve we shall follow the path of Kauyon"
[Meanwhile nearby]
The air was stale and dank, the sounds of battle raged from afar, Caerdor looked through his scope and watched as another wave of cultists was cut down by the Tau guns
"Caerdor what do your eyes see"
"The Tau hold the line against the cultists, as you predicted, I believe it will be some time before they make a push, Farseer"
"Excellent, the Tau will make excellent cats paws, move forward and be cautious; they've already begun their ritual"
"Farseer why do we not ask the Tau more openly for help, as you said they make excellent cats paws, it would be more so if we included them in our…"
"Caerdor, you know why we mustn't reveal our presence, the Tau cannot be trusted to deal with the threat these Cultist impose, it is up to us to stop them, am I understood"
"….Understood…."
"What troubles you brother?"
"N-nothing, just be careful, sister…." His sister sighed,
"Of course brother I've no intention to add to your grief" there was silence as Caerdor took time to remember the fallen he carried, he'd grieved enough for their loss, for his failure, he stood cloak active and begun moving.
[Meanwhile back on the Tau front]
The Cultists had been relentless after the last wave they hadn't stopped coming for every one they dropped another three emerged from the buildings and streets
"Keep firing, keep firing" the cultist zeal was commendable, yet terrifying they charged blades held high, and weapons firing, praises to their dark gods on their lips, the Tau held barely the Shas'Uve shouted orders and encouragements to the troops,
"Where's our Axillary support" almost on cue, Kroot carnivores and Vespids emerged behind the Tau
"Reinforcements!" the Kroot charged at the Cultist, blades held high, they leapt at them tackling their opponents to the ground, the Vespid aided them with aerial support, raining death from above, while the Tau were happy to see reinforcements they were still to an extent shocked, the brutality of their allies
"Orders Shas'Uve"
"All units begin your advance, push forward" there was slight Comm feedback, a little unusual, the Shas'Uve took point leading the troops down the streets
"Clear those buildings" both Tau and Kroot, entered the surrounding buildings there was a little gun fire, but only a little,
"Keep moving, push forward" the Tau Push had begun.
[Meanwhile in the skies above]
"Inquisitor the landing zone is too hot, I can't land" Viktor growled,
"Try again maybe you can land us on a building"
"Yes Inquisitor" Markus sat in the transport with a basic understanding of what was going on, they were trying to stop a possible daemon threat, as the Imperium intended to try to retake this planet, which would have been hard if a daemon was wandering around the planet, Markus took this time to examine the rest of the Reunite, Boris a mercenary from Kreig a hulk of a man who wielded a chain axe and bolt pistol, Tanner a Storm trooper from the Karuva system he was quiet but loyal and viscous when fighting any enemy of the Emperor, Kathrine checking her heavy bolter, it never surprised Markus how she'd been able to carry around and set up a heavy bolter with such ease, and finally the inquisitor himself Viktor Forge, he wielded a Thunder hammer, a plasma pistol and a bolt pistol, Markus himself was equipped with his duel Las-pistols, his hotshot las-gun, his power sabre and for things with thicker armour he had a melta gun
"Inquisitor, I've found an LZ, I'll have to be quick though ETA 2 minutes"
"You heard the Man, ready yourselves" everyone did their final checks and readied themselves
"Alright stay close and cautious there is no telling how tainted this place is already" there was a unified
"YES SIR" from the group, as the Transports door opened
[Meanwhile nearby]
"Farseer I see a transport of imperial make, it may be the inquisitor"
"As expected, is it ready"
"All charges placed and armed, just awaiting your signal"
"Good, move into position and wait for my signal, we must give both the Tau and Human forces a chance to get closer"
"Yes Farseer" Caerdor began to move again, although he had only tread the path of the Seer for a small time he could feel the Taint, it was thick but there was something else, something he couldn't quite put his finger on, he had sensed it only in fleeting gasps, but it was still there, he shrugged it off as a warp presence he hadn't felt before
[Back at the Inquisitors LZ]
Markus steadied his breath; something they never told him was that the Taint of chaos had a smell he hadn't found out until his time on the Cleansing of Cadia; it was a mix of rusted metal and dried blood it filled the air, every breath Markus took was repulsive, he shook it off, now was no time to get caught on the smell of Chaotic Taint
"Alright, tight formation" Markus took his position at the front of the formation, he was at the front Boris and Tanner on the sides, Kath bringing up the rear and the Inquisitor in the centre, they moved keeping close, behind enemy lines with two forces who would likely shot on sight, they entered several burnt out buildings and move with caution, so far it seemed as if they hadn't been noticed, they entered a relatively intact building when the sound of artillery fire filled the air
"We must be getting close to the front be ready for anything" Markus walked up to the front window and peered out, he saw several Chaos cultist making a B-line for a heavily fortified building, on closer inspection there were heavy weapons on the upper levels and what he thought were snipers on the roof,
"Markus, what do you see?"
"A heavily fortified base inquisitor, heavy weapons and snipers, infiltration will be difficult"
"Indeed" Viktor took a seat and gave a low growl "Any Ideas?" there was a long silence, well as silent as it could have been with artillery and gunfire going off, Katharine's face lit up
"Sir, I have an idea" Viktor looked up at Kath, it wasn't uncommon for the inquisitor to let us plan our advance or infiltration plans, he said 'it keeps us sharp'
"Go on?"
"Well sir, why don't we wait for the Tau to arrive, they'll distract the cultist long enough for us to sneak past, and enter the base" Tanner chimed in
"That sounds like it could work, but what happens if the Tau break the Cultist's line, we'd be stuck between the Heretics and the Xeno's" the Inquisitor answered his question
"Nothing like a little pressure, to make us work harder" Viktor smiled as he spoke
"well done Lieutenant" Markus moved back to the window, to see several Tau Pathfinders dashing between cover, narrowly avoiding sniper fire, and just out of range of the Heavy bolters
"Movement"
"What is it?"
"Several Tau Pathfinders, they've been spotted, and are digging in, most likely awaiting reinforcements"
"It seems our window of opportunity will soon present its self"
[Back at the Tau front]
"Shas'Ure we've located the Cultists base of operations, it's in the Old imperial Administration centre"
"It will be difficult to break their lines, that building is a very defendable location" The Shas'Ure pondered the situation, when he received comms form the Pathfinder's that located the Base
"Shas'Ure we're pinned down by sniper fire, just outside the base, it's heavily fortified and will be extremely difficult to break their lines"
"We will send stealth suits, to aid you"
"Negative Shas'Ure, Bombard the area with artillery fire, it's the only way to break their lines, do not worry about us, we are ready to give our lives for the greater good" there was a brief silence
"Very well, Artillery move up and target the coordinates the pathfinders send you"
"Affirmative, moving out"
[Meanwhile nearby]
"The Tau are moving up their artillery they must be planning to rain artillery upon the base"
"Very well, active the charges let them through; we still have need of them"
"Yes Farseer" Caerdor pressed his detonator.
[Back with the Imperials]
"SIR-Sir, the door way and several support structures, just exploded, the dust is making a smoke screen, now would be the best time to move"
"Right, Move out, keep low and fast, we don't know what to expect"
They began moving, fast and quiet, and made a B-line for one of the gaping holes in the structure, they enter the building, dead cultist lay torn apart on the ground, blood splattered on the walls and smeared on the ground, it was time to push forward
Okay I'll end this one here, hope you like it and hope I've explained a few things, and for those people who want this to be word for word with the ME parts like exact form the game, then go play the game, I'll keep things close to the game, but as I said changes have been made, but yeah that's this done, see you in the next one.
