Considering all the negative reviews for this story, I am thinking of canceling this story, and going with my ORIGINAL idea, The Galactic Empire from Star Wars vs the Forerunners. I understand why people are being angered/and or think this story is stupid because of how OP the Forerunners are, but keep in mind THIS IS FANFICTION, also, it takes place years after the events of ME3, so who knows what secret weapon the Citadel forces might be packing? Plus, with the Covenant on their side, they could probably combine their tech and make something pretty badass. Also, if you think negatively of this story and you have no constructive criticism, just insults, then why waste your time reviewing?

The Arbiter pulled his self out of the wreckage. He picked up his Energy sword and a Type-51 Carbine. Five Elites were returning fire from attacking Sentinels. One Elite Officer helped the Arbiter up. "The phantom is destroyed, we have no way out of this ship."

"We need to get to the Bridge, that we can send for a Liche to pick us up once our mission is done." The Arbiter stood up.

Grunt jumped on top of the wrecked phantom and began firing with his Cobra missle launher, destroying all the Sentinels. "HAHAHAHA!"

Shepard, Garrus, and Wrex met up with the Arbiter. "We'll head to the Bridge," Shepard said. "You go do what you need to at the FTL drive, then we should meet back at here for whatever evac you have planned for us."

"We'll need to contact one of the Supercarriers to see if they can send a liche or another Phantom." Thel said. "Here take this." Thel handed Shepard a Data chip. "Insert this into one of the consoles on the Bridge, the A.I will hack into the systems and give you all the schematics for the ship, then notify the Covenant fleet that we need an evac."

"The teleportation grid is online!" one of the Elites yelled.

"Quick." Thel said. "The grid will take you as close to the bridge as possible."

Garrus had an Avenger Assault rifle, while Wrex was using a Geth spitfire. Shepard lead his group through the Teleporter.

Thel and his Elite Rangers went through the other portal.


Shepard picked himself up off the floor. He was surrounded by 4 Builder Security members. Each soldier had a boltshot pointing at his head. A few feet away, Garrus, Wrex, and Grunt were in the same position. Shepard disappeared, the Builders were baffled, then, one of them was knocked out cold by shepard. Another was victim to a salvo of shots from Shepard's Lancer. Grunt knocked one of the Builders aside, and smashed the heads of the other two going after Shepard. Garrus tackled one of the other Builders, and Wrex knocked the lsat two down and finished them with his Geth Spitfire. Two Aggressor Sentinels flew around the corner, and simultaneously fired at Wrex, knocking him down. Grunt unleashed a volley of missiles, which made short work of the Sentinels. Shepard heard footsteps down the corridor. "Hurry," he ran to the door. "Garrus, get us through, we need to get to the bridge before their reinforcements can arrive." The footsteps got closer and closer.

"Got it!" The door flew open. "Let's move." Garrus entered the room.

Garrus shut the door behind them, and sealed it. "This must be the bridge." Shepard said. There were tons of Forerunner soldiers in the bridge. Along with one, who looked female. She didn't walk like the rest of the Forerunner, or the guards they had encountered just outside the bridge. Instead, she was floating about a foot off the floor. She was flanked on both sides by soldiers in less ornate armor than everyone else.

"Stand down." One of the soldiers said, pointing his rifle right at Shepard's head four more guards just like those they had previously encountered were now there, though they also seemed to have rifles, instead of sidearms.

Shepard and Garrus raised their hand above their head, and so did Wrex, although quite reluctantly. Grunt paused for a moment. Then, instead of raising his hands above his head, a missile flew out of his gun and hit one of the Soldiers square in the and Garrus ducked to avoid fire from two of the guards and returned fire, which Killed the guards. Wrex spun around with his heavy weapon, Killing the other two. The last soldier fired a few shots at Garrus, who dropped in pain. Shepard opened fire, wounding,, but not Killing the soldier. The rest of the crew aboard the bridge had disappeared, leaving the bridge to avoid being slaughtered. Grunt and Shepard approached the woman, as Wrex tended to Garrus's wound. "We should Kill her" Grunt said.

"No," Shepard lowered his gun. "We could take her prisoner." Shepard inserted the Data chip into a console. He turned towards the floating woman. "What's your name, rank, and business attacking an Alliance fleet?"


One of the Rangers was badly wounded. He had been hit in the left shoulder and the stomach by a lightrifle when his shields were down. "Arbiter! How can we make it to the slipspace drive? It's on the deck above us and the Forerunners probably have Dozens of Sentinels guarding it by now."

"Stay faithful my brother," Thel emptied an entire magazine, Killing a Promethean warrior-servant. "We will do this." One of the other Rangers threw a Plasma grenade, which stuck onto the armor of a warrior-servant. The last warrior servant was killed by fire from the other Elites' plasma rifles. "To the lifts." The Arbiter lead his team of Elites into the blue colored gravity lift. It took them up to the deck above. As the group began running towards the Slipspace drive, A beam from a Super Sentinel Killed one of the Rangers. Thel yelled out of anger, and leaped into the air, his energy sword in hand. He grabbed onto the Super Sentinel and cut it in half. The wounded ranger had managed to open the door leading to the room housing the Slipspace drive. The other Rangers were holding off Builder Security. "We need to plant the Plasma charge, quickly." Thel dodged a beam of hardlight.

"What about the one called Shepard?" The wounded Elite limped over to the massive slipspace drive, planting plasma charges all over.


The Mantle's Approach launched several Despair-class fighters to take care of Alliance fighters screening the Planet-Breaker. A Covenant Supercarrier was engaging the ship head on, all plasma batteries firing at the ship. At the same time, five CCS-class Battlecruisers were flying circles around a Fortress-class vessel attempting to come to the aid of the Mantle's Approach.

"Damage assessment." The Didact sat down at the Bridge of the ship.

"Nothing noticeable sir," The Promethean was going over ship information. "The Sangheili ship is too far away to fire Plasma Torpedoes and her energy projectors, however, two more Supercarriers are moving to engage us. I fear their combined power might be able to bring our shields down."

"Get a keyship to hold off those Supercarriers." The Didact stared grimly through the bridge's window.

"Sir," The Promethean looked surprised. "Master-Builder Faber is recalling three-fourths of our fleet to quell multiple renegade human rebellions."

"Dammit."

"I can reroute a few thousand weapon-ships to keep the Supercarriers occupied." The Promethean was already directing weapon-ships to break off from combat with Alliance forces.


A Turian dreadnought with around fifty Turian crusiers had just entered the battle, as more than three fourths of the Forerunner fleet entered slipspace. The Dreadnought immediately fired upon the Mantle's Approach. The cruisers all converged with Alliance cruisers, that attempted to plow through a line of Forerunner cruisers. As the Citadel forces opened fire, the Forerunner cruisers returned. Harrier class Forerunner ships closed in from behind, and the Citadel forces were being crushed. Two alliance cruisers smashed into a Forerunner cruiser, the explosion destroying all three ships. The remaining cruisers withdrew from battle, and went to support the Dreadnoughts, all of whic were locked in combat with the Mantle's Approach. A group of Krogan cruisers, supported by dozens of Alliance Frigates engaged two Forerunner Fast attack frigates. One Alliance frigate slammed into the bridge of a Forerunner Fast attack frigate, destroying both ships. The other Forerunner frigate disengaged from combat after destroying six Alliance frigates and a Krogan cruiser. Right then, there was massive explosion, and a slipspace portal tore the Forerunner Builder ship in half.
