][]]End of the age of Chaos\Confusion. Star of the age of unity\rebuilding][]][]

Do you ever get the feeling that the world changes far too quickly? That you could be swept away at any moment or be left behind, while everyone else around you keeps moving forward.

For a Krogan, war was what matters, the thrill of battle, the feeling that your senses, scream when you know you could die at any moment. Then came the Salarians, creatures with big heads, weak bodies, but with good speed.

They came from the sky and offered the Krogan weapons, tools, wonders they had never seen. Before the knew it, the Krogan as a whole were surrounded by creatures of all shapes and sizes, the thing was all good things come at a price.

So just as easily as it was given, just as easily it was taken away. All of a sudden his people were involved in a war, a war they shouldn't have ever been apart of. Of course they won and everything was at peace, the thing was the Krogan breed, at an accelerated rate compared to other races. So room on any planet soon became problematic, food was scarce and all of these supposed friends made, they refused to help.

So his people did the only thing they could, they took what they could, and stole several planets. So how did they respond, they used a weapon a weapon of such cruelty that no one could defeat it.

They attacked he Krogans reproduction, sure they could have lessened the birth rate, but that would have been too kind. So instead they nearly eliminated it entirely, so now out every hundred children born, only one would live.

It didn't matter that his people ignored non combatants, it didn't matter that they even went as far as to return any wounded back to their people, no all that they saw was a pack of wild uncontrollable animals.

That's how they arrived here, on this world the Humans call Earth, Dirt. There was no doubt in his mind that something big happened here, or at least a planet near this one.

If there's one thing these multi colored, fur headed creatures care for is loyalty. Rooknught Bix knew that and so did every other Krogan with him. If there were two big no's on this planet everyone agreed on it was this. Don't ever kill any person and 2 betrayal isn't easily forgiven.

In their time here, three things have been learned or should he say, three things remain undiscovered.

1A] The N.P.C's synthetics, that looked like the Humans but aren't, they think, they act, but they don't feel pain, in fact they don't feel anything. Several of the Humans use them for labor, if they were alive Rooknught Bix would have called it slavery.

The thing was how could something that didn't have a brain, internal organs, or vital fluids be alive. So they were used as pleasure slaves by both men and women, in fact several of the Humans had entire harems made of the ones they preferred.

2a] C.N.P.C's. The C meaning Crystalline, these these were special, they were classified as People, they didn't reach the Human status, but they had every right the Humans had. They're also known by another term Baby makers, during the war a lot of N.P.C's were sent to alleviate the soldiers stress.

No one knows who the boys fathers was, but everyone agreed they needed to protect them, both the mother and the child. Easily identifiable by a crystal bracelet on their right arms, the moment their discovered, they're separated from the rest of the N.P.C's. Those found in one of the Humans harems are to be set free immediately, the thing is most of them choose to stay.

Emotional to a fault, many stay with their masters for one reason and one reason only. They're safe, they've seen the war, they've seen how the Humans deal with insubordination and the one place, to truly be safe from the Humans, is behind another Human.

So as he sat on the roof, in one of the Krogans district restaurant buildings and gazed at the flying fortress he continued to wonder. That is until he heard a voice.

''Councillor, it has been a while since the last time we've seen you here.'' said a Krogan, wearing a blue and black striped over all.

Rooknught Bix could only smile, the man before him was at one time, the greatest strategist he knew, a true veteran of nearly a dozen wars. Deadly- ruthless-skilled beyond what was required and more. Now however, he was just a simple restaurant owner.

His widened jaw exposing his numerous fangs would have made any weaker race recoil in fear, but to another Krogan the man was simply smiling.

''It's been a while my friend, so tell me why are you just standing there, aren't you going to join me for lunch.'' Rooknught Bix said

Slowly taking a seat in front of Rooknught Bix, the other Krogan spoke. ''It's been a while my friend, we hardly ever see you any more. The little ones wonder if they will soon be sent to fight.'' The restaurant owner said as his cheerful voice, became serious as he spoke.

''Soon my friend.'' Rooknught Bix said, as he looked at the other krogan and remembering the face, he made when he discovered that the Humans potions removed some of the Genophage. So as a result, if before the Krogan had a hundred children but only one survived, while all the others died.

Now twenty five children lived, it wasn't much but it was a start. ''So tell me what has been going on, since we haven't seen each other in so long.'' Rooknught Bix said

Elsewhere

She could feel the sun's warmth as it touched her skin, the weight of her combat best on her body, suddenly be hit her. The cool air entering her lungs, she could feel her skin tighten, as the cool wind touched her skin.

She began to notice that everyone around her was doing the same, it was like they were starting to wake up from a dream. She could feel something hot fall, as the events she was forced to live thru.

One moment she was using her grand fathers old computer and was trying and to use the controls with the old machine. Then the next thing she knew, she was caught in an explosion.

The sounds of bombs falling, the screams of confusion coming from the other players. God it was all so much ''Why , why did she begin to feel this now, why did she remember every thing, couldn't those memories be left forgotten'' she screamed to herself

The memories of the players suddenly screaming the names of shows, Pokemon-Dragon Ball Z- Tekken and so on. She could remember the info screen that marked enemies and seeing the red marks turn blue making them Allies.

Soon after that the players stopped shooting at each other, but just because the players stopped killing each other, didn't mean that the N.P.C's stopped. So they were forced to fight in a hopeless war, outnumbered and outclassed. Both in weapons and in skill.

She could still feel the recoil from the first time she shot someone, with her machine gun. The explosive sounds, that made her ears ring. Seeing both Players and .N.P.C's scream in agony, when she was forced to shoot them or when she was forced to stave them to death.

''It was self defense, God it was self defense'' she said to herself. She could remember, how hopeless they felt when they saw the blue markings, disappear one by one. Then it happened, it was like a horrifying miracle, that fell from the sky. And just like a miracle, it was terrifying.

The scorching flames of Hell burning everything around her and seeing hundreds of missiles hitting those monsters. The thing was, she couldn't remember how she got to the city in the first place.

She could hear the people around her vomiting, crying, as the smell of the cool dirt hit her nose. As she began to feel herself break into a cold sweat and remembering the war with the Rat men, and seeing her team overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

It was at that moment, that she felt a small tug on her left leg, as she looked down and saw her adopted son John. He wasn't her son and God she was only fifteen, no now she was sixteen and she was his mother.

She Samantha Sheppard, survivor of the age of Chaos and the Time of Confusion. Was a mother, to a boy, whose mother she herself order to her death. So as they stood on top of the recently completed wall of Odin, he in his new blue run engraved armor and her in her, brown and green mixed military uniform.

Seeing John point at the distance forest far away from them, while behind them the city of San Andreas stood, safely surrounded by the wall of Santa Maria. She had heard rumors that Santa Maria was going to have Fay defenses added to it. Meaning that the thing would have, an endless supply of drone soldiers to help defend it.

So as she turned around and looked at the near desolate remains, of the land inside the wall of Odin she bowed that nothing would hurt her son. She could feel it, she would have to be an idiot not to and by the looks of it so did everyone else. Something was happening, something big.

ELSE] Else wear

In an empty room without sound, smell, color or light an event took place as the room was suddenly filled with an explosion. As a blue sky filled the room, with the sun lighting the room at the distance, and its clouds filling the room, giving it some form of comfort to the empty room.

From this blue sky, came a small girl, her long black hair, blue eyes and shiny white dress, all came together with the bright smile she wore.

''It started'' she said, to no one ''We can't help them any longer, their bodies are almost completely mixed with their avatars.''

At that moment snowflakes fell all around her and a man wearing a white coat, short brown hair and of Asian descent. ''You did what you could Yui, emotionally speaking nearly all players have to handle everything on their own. From here on now, even my ability to limit their technology will be nearly impossible.'' he said

''Illusive man, we will not directly interfere unless it's absolutely necessary.'' said a woman's voice, as runes spin beneath, as well as all around them. As the form of a woman, with angel wings appeared.

''We have to interfere Fairy Queen, if we don't then massive errors will be made.'' Said the Illusive man ''However we should continue this conversation later, seeing as our guest has finally arrived.'' He said, as a woman with long white hair that reached down to her feet, she was dressed in a long white gown, with peach skin and purple eyes. ''Queen Serenity I believe.''

][]

''Order brings forth Chaos, just like Chaos brings forth Order.'' said the Fairy Queen ''All it takes for one to arrive at this conclusion, is for one to look into any creation story.''

''If you think this is a lie, take a look at the first sentences, paragraphs or even for that matter, look at the beginning part of the stories. At the beginning there was nothing, then God created everything.''

''Many would argue that it was a time of great Order. For example the beginning; there was nothing, yet many would say that at this point, things were Orderly because there was nothing to cause problems.'' ''Yet at this time, people would argue to the opposite because of the same reason.'' said the Illusive man

''The thing is, that in the time that followed everything had a row to play. However people would argue that it was a time of great Chaos, there was mayhem and randomness everywhere. The world was just getting made so there weren't many rows to fill.'' finished Yui

''I'm sorry, but what does this have to do with my arrival here.'' asked Queen Serenity

''Haven't you noticed it, you're at the beginning of the story.'' said the Illusive man

''Just look around you, the world is in a state of Chaos. Animals that weren't supposed to exist, now inhabit places they weren't supposed to. Throwing the planet's ecosystem out of order and the Humans in it have had their bodies heavily modified against their will.'' the Illusive man finished

''...''

''If you want the answer to your question, look at the world and look at a mirror. You weren't supposed to exist here, but now you do.'' said Yui

''So the question is Queen what will you do. Will you help us guide Humanity or will you try to do your own thing. However should you do to much, remember there are three of us and one of you.'' said the Fairy Queen, as Queen Serenity' eyes hardened with the all too obvious threat.

][]

Meanwhile in the Council chambers

''Did you get the report.'' said a man in black tuxedo

''Yeah, apparently there's all kinds of vegetation there. From the images and small videoclips, the away team sent the planet has an abundant food supply. The soil alone, could fix the problems inside the Wall of Odin.'' said another in blue armor

''So what will we do. We need food, animals,medicine and as things stand we don't have the numbers to send in. said a woman in military armor.

''We do have one option. We use the player killers to clear ot the area and we can make it some sort of quest.'' answered the one in the black tuxedo

''We would do that, but wouldn't that be unethical? I mean the Ape men are primitive, they're barely at the bronze age.''said a fairy in red armor

''For a Salamander to say no to battle is unusual, but you're right, however need I remind you. that we made that same mistake with the rats. Look at what that led to.'' said a woman, seated in one of the solo players chairs.

''True, we did underestimate them. But has anybody thought of the repercussions of sending a bunch of kill happy, bastards in there. Just so that they can kill to their heart's content, so we can go in and take these people's land.'' said a Dwarf wearing as golden armor

''Excuse me, but am I the only one this room that has seen Planet of the Apes, that planet is not theirs it's ours. Or better yet, it belongs to the Humans there, some douchebag made the monkeys super intelligent and then they went kill all Humans.''

''So what's the problem?'' asked a woman, dressed in a nightgown

''The problem is everyone else's reaction. No one in this room cares if we kill a bunch of Monkeys, however everyone else does.'' The Krogan alone would most likely argue against it and then their are the idiots that don't want to ruin the wildlife in the area.''

''They're right, but nobody really cares about that right now. Right now we need food and those Monkeys have it. Then finally we're sending in criminals to kill innocents with, no way of controlling them. That alone is bad.'' said a man, in an armor half colored black and the other half white

''So we control them. Give them a reason to obey us. I say if they due a certain amount of missions they get to go free. That should do it.'' said Rooknught Bix, as he walked into the meeting

''Just to be clear, you're okay with this?'' asked the man in the tuxedo

''Yes. Plus the exploration team was attacked, we could call it self defense. No one should argue.''answered Rooknught Bix

''Okay then it's decided the Suicide squad will be sent to Mars to deal with the Apes, and just in case bring back any remaining Humans from there. Everyone here okay with that, no arguments, good. So we all agree sending N.P.C's so the public doesn't hear about our initial stages.'' said a Fairy woman wearing a golden robe, and pixie like wings

No one argued and no one complained. ''Then we are agreed, tomorrow we kill a lot of innocent people. Go I feel like afreak'ingconquistador, I need a shower I feel dirty.'' said the same Fairy woman

[][][

Meanwhile in the realm both joined, while at the same time separated from the Council room.

As grains of sand became snow and the snow became flowers Queen Serenity was hit with a horrifying revelation. Originally she didn't matter, her daughter, her kingdom and all of its people didn't matter, they were just toys for the people here to enjoy.

Yet in these moments of despair a thought hit her, originally they did not matter, but that no longer the case. She could see the Moon in all its glory and on it she could see the people making repairs to her castle. So she acted or better yet said, the one thing that came to mind.

''I want complete control of the Moon, after all it is mine and I want to speak to the people.'' QueenSerenityi said

Instantly all of the other three said ''Denied.''

''Sorry the Moon belongs to you, but it is I who has been making it livable. You can see it can't you small patches of grass are starting to grow even now. I do the same thing on Earth, but let's be honest these things take time.'' said Yui

''All communications are controlled by me, not in the conventional sense but in the sub level.'' seeing the Queens confused look the Illusive Man explains.

''Queen surely you noticed it, when a world is brought here, there is usually no problem because there's no way for anything to follow. The information we received explains that if we or should I say they, bring in something too important or were to keep bringing things in from the same place, then the dimension will have a chance to track things back here.'' the Illusive man finishes

''How, I thought we were all just fictional characters, bits of data and simple information easily disposable just by erasing all information''Queen Serenity said

''That's true, but there's a point where reality meets fantasy, meaning we can't just simply ct the information. Plus we don't have any real way of knowing what world will be brought in.'' said Yui

''In order for us to control things or should I say stabilize things, we have to make direct contact with said abilities\data. Magic and racial diversity is what I control. You can blame me for the people's lack of feelings during the last two years.''

''Human bodies don't adapt that quickly, all it takes is for you two simply look back in those last couple of years. Players that used female avatars, but are male themselves have become a mixture of the two. Their bodies became physically leaner, they live longer, their bodies became stronger.''

''Think of it like this, when people exercise their bodies go through some pain and they need to keep exercising. But what happens when they don't keep exercising and the pain keeps increasing every day. Keep this in mind this happened to the regular players as well, so the pain would have killed them all'' the Fairy Queen finishes

''Look they're beginning to move, so what will you do'' All three of them asked, all at once to Queen Serenity.

''Give me control of all Moons, as long as I exist no one will abuse of our power anywhere near there.'' Queen Serenity answers

''Agreed, your role wile be restraints'' said the Illusive man, immediately disappearing afterwards

''However, you will only rule over the Moons in spiritual sense, you'll need an avatar.'' said the Fairy Queen before banishing.

''Time's up we have to go by by.'' said Yui as she banished

So the room was left empty and dark as it had once been before the meeting began. Yet immediately after a stream of lights filled the room. Like different streams of rivers, each with its own color, mass and density, representing magic, technology gravity and so forth did Queen Serenity truly understand her new role.

][]]

The next day, in a room filled with fifty seven people, twelve Krogan and several N.P.C's.

''Listen up, I have an offer for you all. One if you say yes you'll get to kill you hearts content, however you will be strapped to repeated bombs killing you each time.'' said a voice

''If you say no then you stay here, say yes and finish three missions and you can go free. Anyone saying no give a step back.'' said the voice, however seeing no one moved Samantha Sheppard walked into the room.

''You'll be teleported to the drop sight, protect the construction crew , they will be setting up a defensive wall. Any Humans, Human N.P.C's you are not to touch, everything else if it's not a Krogan do whatever you want. So you Furys have fun.'' Samantha Sheppard finishes.

][][]

A gentle mist filled the dark room, as the lights begin to blind the prisoners in the cells. Each and every cell could be called a wooden cage, yet at the same time they could easily be called luxury hotel room. Seeing as they had a bed, a tv, a shower with hot and cold water, a toilet and a mini fridge. However their inhabitants had no contact with any other living being except for the tv.

Yet as the mist settled in, their weapons and armors that had been taken from them during the war with the Skavans, was being returned to them, seeing that the deal given to them was indeed real both Humans and Krogan alike smiled, their united grins appear ever so sinisterly.

Each and every one of them knew they were disposable, spare parts that could be easily tossed aside, yet at the same time were ever so useful. And that what they liked, after all they lived for battle and the killing.

As Samantha Sheppard watched the events in front of her go about, she could only recall the events that happened a couple of hours before. The memory of her and a man in a tuxedo on top of a skyscraper played in her mind.

''Hard to believe, that it's all falling apart don't you think.'' said the man in the tuxedo

''Yeah we're running out of food and over half the people are going thru their withdraw from the recovery potions.'' Sheppard answered

''Look I'll be clear with you. So take a deep breath and brace yourself because what you're about to her is going to shock you.''

''A while ago the second castle opened, however there wasn't anything except building materials and information. Information about how we got here, however we also receive information of how to bring what we needed here.''

''Sheppard we have a castle on the moon, furthermore like the World tree and the flying castle were finding that it too has a Cardinal program. The thing is we still haven't found it. Sheppard we brought in a second world here, on Mars however it no a good one.''

''Our exploration team was immediately attacked, luckily for them the Apes were severely unprepared for the kind of firepower they had. Your job is to lead a suicide team and secure the area where the teleportation platform is, then expand and protect the workers, that will be bringing in food from there.''

''Samantha listen for everyone's good, don't spread any of this around. As things stand only a select few know this, but as things are everyone needs to secure the Earth and if we can't keep our home safe then we will not be able to survive anywhere else. That's all, go to the prison in two hours.'' then the man left, leaving her standing there.

Present

So as the cleansing mist filled their cages, the prisoners took their armors and weapons she could feel the weight of her military outfit now. Not that she hadn't before, now however she could feel it even more than before.

The weight of what needed to be done and executed, was now carried by her. The combined feelings of having these new responsibilities, as well as her unspoken out rage of knowing that she was being sent into what was a suicide mission, along with the fact that she was leaving John behind made her un fit for the job.

Still she had the small hope that somehow, she could negotiate with the planet inhabitants, than maybe, just maybe they could avoid a needless war. Of course no one knew about her hopes, everyone in the council simply expected her to follow orders, after all she was a player killer. The woman responsible for sending a lot of people to be unnecessarily be eaten.

So as the last woman placed her long sword on her back was Samantha brought out of her small reminiscent moment.

''Okay listen up! We will be teleported from the secondary haw directly to the drop zone, so if any of you need to go to the bathroom, get your porn mags of any spare food it will be brought to you. So speak up or keep your mouths shut.'' Samantha said, as she started to walk away, knowing full well that the cage doors opened letting the inmates out.

Each one of the inmates followed, knowing full well that their weapons would be useless here. After all some of them tried to shoot her when she turned around. So as they stepped out of the dark room and passed by the reflective walls that showed their images as they walked by, some could only chuckle.

An assortment of colors, red, green, blue, black, silver among others. Any onlooker would immediately notice, the brownish green reptilian skin of the kogan, that was completely covered by their advanced power armor, only allowing their heads to be visible to any onlooker. Each and everyone of them grinning,with anticipation, knowing full well that they were being sent into a fight with no information whatsoever.

This was heavily contradicted by the Human women of their group, where the Krogan were essentially the same size, they sizes varied weather this was from their armors or because they themselves were simply taller than their accomplices was largely unknown, to any onlooker.

The reason being was that some of them wore Call of duty power armor, that made them taller than what they really were. The small of flowers contradicted the stale bitter air of the hall they waked, as many of them checked out themselves out on the reflective walls as they walked.

The form fitting body armors of the Knight's from the Flying castle, while others looked to make sure that there wasn't any needlessly exposed part of them. After all this wasn't a game and therefore any exposed body part equals a weakness, to be exploited.

Had any of them been on Earth, well the Earth they had come from, no one would have thought of them as anything anywhere near criminal. Well except for their looks, the smooth young skin, each different showing their respective races, their red or dark brown lips, thin bodies with a heavy layer of muscle, made them all exceptional beauties.

However anyone that bothered to look at their eyes would immediately notice, there was a darkness there. An uncaring, cold, hate filled place that could see children die and not care whatsoever.

So as they passed the reflective halls, they arrived at a hanger\ factory, the oil filled air clogged their nostrils, as they all noticed a lot of City type N.P.C's building helicopters, tanks and something they could just make out as a Krogan drop ship only that it had a more Human design to it.

The few people there turned to look at them, hell some of them actually threw extra grenades and ammunition at them, yelling that they would thank them later. So as they finally arrived at the platform they noticed a mirror showing them as they looked at it.

The men of the group, that honestly had no interest in the reflective walls, for they were concentrated in their scanner, weaponry and finding out about any restrictions or added features, finally noticed how they looked.

Just like the woman before them, they varied from race. They however greatly varied in facial features, for some had heavily scarred faces and other had a smooth skin that could pass of os that of one from a model.

Each of their armors, military outfits varying from the heavy modifications made to them. It was all too easy to see, that there were those used for sheer fire power, while other prefers the lightweight stealth.

So as Sheppard finally stopped turned around and looked at them she said. ''Walk up to this thing and you'll teleport automatically to the drop zone, there no coming back, so we all have to get along.'' she said, before she walked thru the mirrors or so it would have seemed if one of the inmates had not noticed the crystal on the platform floor.

He only smiled, the mirrors were a diversion, a good one, but a simple one. So as they all stepped forward they were immediately assaulted by a blinding light, the humid air of the forest and the sounds of wildlife.

]\[]]][]\

As the groups armored boots sank into the soft forest floor, the loose dirt immediately leaving its impression on the more clean friendly members, each one of them immediately noted that the surrounding area held what appeared to be the remnants of a one sided firefight.

It could only be called one sided for the area surrounding the teleportation platform was all but untouched, the area surrounding it however, it was torn to shreds. All that remained of the thick foliage was a simple tree, one that was immediately marked by their individual systems, as a connection to the flying castle.

Therefor it was their only way out if something happened to the teleporter, the brief thought of making a run for it did pass thru some of the group members minds. However it was only a moment, they really didn't have anything to go back to and those that did, well all they had to do was survive three missions. So any thought of escaping and going back to Earth was dismissed like a used tissue paper.

''There was a fight here not to long ago, ten maybe fifteen hours ago.'' said a Krogan, as he bent down sniffing a leaf that he held in his hand.

Yet at this statement no one said nor cared to comment, after all the only one that knew anything, was the woman in charged and she had not said anything. So they simply moved on, who cared about those that came before, it was their job now, so if it was important they would eventually find out anyways.

However this didn't mean that they would just simply move on without a second thought, everyone of them was a war vet after all, so they planed and mentally prepared themselves for the task ahead. That's when the sounds of feet crunching twigs caught their attention, as a young male N.P.C suddenly emerged from the teleporter, it's dark skin, black hair and Human attitude of confusion made it almost seems as if it were alive.

Then a blond female N.P.C came out, then another and another this continued until there were at least sixty seven of them.

''These are our workers, they'll be setting up a place for us to keep any animal we capture or kill, this whole area will be our base of operation. There will be a group that will arrive and become the bases permanent defense, until then we will handle everything.'' Sheppard said

''Hey new boss so what if some of us get an urge.'' said a man in a combat vest, military boots combined with a crystalline type, making the boots impact deadly with every kike. His long sleeved, black shirt was clearly made of synthetic material, that worked similar to water dispersing impacts. This made the need for bullet proof vest unnecessary, his dragon scale blade was only apparent because of the low hum it gave of, all of this combined with his taper haircut, dark skin and don't give a crap attitude, made the man unlikable to those around.

Samantha for her part didn't care about that, after all this hole group was made of people no one liked.

''The Humans are not to be touched, have fun with everything else. After you're done working.''Sheppard said, adding the last part knowing full well that everyone there was looking at each other suspiciously.

As soon as she was done talking everyone present received a notification via whatever form of communication they used. The information was simple, all they had to do was mark an area about 500 square feet, this would be where their new temporary homes would be built.

The notification also said that each of them had a can of red spray paint, that they could use to mark the area.

So without any words of complaints they all set out to do their jobs, the silence however wouldn't last seeing that marking anything was boring to some of them, so they all began to start talking among'st each other.

''Hey sweet cheeks why are in here for anyways?'' asked the man, in the military combat vest

''Name Jak, not sweet cheeks. So what are you gay?'' answered a man wearing heavy gray medieval knight armor. With only two differently colored objects on him, a pair of black globes that operated as flamethrower. The second object was a mall blue disk on his back, that functions similar to a radio tower, that allows him to intercept enemy communications, as well as emitting false signals that make enemies see something that's not there.

''Naw man chill, I'm just making small talk. So like I was saying, what are you in here for, I mean you wouldn't be out here if you hadn't killed someone but why.'' said the man in the military combat vest

'Laughing Coffin. I killed any member of Laughing Coffin I could find.'' Jak said

''Laughing Coffin, you mean that old Sword Online murder guild, weren't all of their members arrested. Lot of them died in the game and the ones that were left were caught after the hole World Tree incident. So how did they get here.'' said the man in the military combat vest

''The players that died in the old Sword art Online were resurrected in this world. I don't know how, but whatever brought us here also brought a lot of people back to life. I was one of them, so when the rats attacked I saw some of their members threw people to the rats , just to see them get eaten. ''

''So I started hunting down any member I could find. That's how I ended up being caught and you saw the rest. By the way have you noticed that the pop ought screens keep cataloging anything we pass, mine keeps going of showing what's edible and what isn't.'' Jak says

''Yeah, but I don't have one of those screen mines more like a bunch of images with the details of everything I pass. The dam thing is freaking annoying, by the way the name A.Z Alan Zaros, ex leader of the Howling Commandos.'' A.Z says

''A.Z hu, so what's your deal.'' Jak sad as he ducked under a tree branch

''I killed my battalion leader and everyone in the joined Guild. During the war a lot of teams and Guilds merged together so we could have a better chance of Survival. I lead one of those teams, our Squad was named the Howling Commandos.''

''We thought that with our joint up abilities and contradicting stiles, we would have a more diverse team that could be well balanced, that could both be given as well as support any other team. Fucking politics, the Guild leaders found out of the formation of the Council and they wanted in.''

''So they sent two companies, and three platoons into different rat infested tunnels, in order to prove they had what it took to hold a seat. I was the only survivor, it's only thanks that we can regrow missing limbs, in the experimental areas of San Andreas that I have arms and legs.''

''Any who, those jack asses, put me into a hole strike battalion and were about to send us all in. So I killed them all. Listen, I get we needed intel on the enemy, I also get that the ends were worth the means, but none of them cared about any of that. They just wanted their comfy chairs.'' A.Z finally finishes

''... Well I'm done here, how about you?'' Jake asked

''Done let's go see what else the boss wants us to do, besides it's getting late and I'm Hungry.'' A.Z said with a carefree tone, despite the topic of the conversation earlier

However as they both walked they began to feel the sensation as if they were being watched. Despite this neither one acted on this, after all they wanted the enemy to get confident, that way they could burst their bubble afterward.

So as they arrived at the camp, they noticed a large quantity of wood had been gathered, as well as a small wall standing, about ten to fifteen tree logs in number. However though they did notice this, what truly caught their attention, was the fact that everyone else had a plate full of freshly cooked meat and were already eating.

''You girls are late, foods been ready. You shouldn't have taken so long in your chit chat, so go eat some wild boar and fill yourselves up, as punishment for being late you two have first watch.'' Sheppard said, while smiling

Okay a couple of important things everyone needs to know.
1; Everything that shows up from here on out is flesh and blood. This means that anyone that is summoned along with their world become real.
There are officially no more N.P.C that can be summoned, however Earth still has a couple that are doing their own thing out side of the walls. Call of Duty Had a lot of Soldiers and because its mix package of every game, well there a tone of them scattered all over the world.

That being said all Mass Effect aliens are 100% real, this is their universe after all.

2;Expect the mood to change, a lot of stuff will be explained during this time. However you'll also get a lot of gore, so be prepared.

3; As to the Cardinals\A.I's, there Gods in their respected areas. Forex ample the Fairy queen can a low any player to re-spawn, however her control is only in the World tree. Anything summoned in a other world is out of her full control, that being said she does have some power over the other players.

This goes for all of the A.I's that are Cardinals. The Human shift with their avatars was painful. It was so excruciating that they all of them combined, decided to shut down all Human emotions. Men suddenly merged with their female avatars, the same goes with woman that were playing as guys.
This made everyone machines, only capable of acting with their Human and avatar knowledge. Right now the shift has finally ended, you can tell how mono toned people were with the war with the Rats. There just recently feeling the trauma, they were still going thru Hunger, muscle pains and the simple need of sleep.

Hell just look at how they greeted the Krogans and you get hints of how bad this was.

That being said, the Cardinals were not aware of each other, they were simply overwhelmed with so much work. Just look at when the Illusive man made contact with the World Tree.

Anyway if I say anymore it might harm the story and by that I mean spoilers, a lot of spoilers.
