In the depths of Dark Space, the unending realm devoid of stars, Anubis watches through his mind.
Within his Reaper form, the Kraken, watching and observing the activities in the two galaxies of his vast army lay destruction upon lesser species that have risen to an advanced technological achievement of expanding in the stars. Before their existence came to be known, the Reapers were the masters of the Halo Galaxy. The true apex race, unsurpassed in their technological and intellectual supremacy to the primitive life forms. Just as his predecessor had reigned supreme over the species that would be one of the greatest threats. Humans.
In truth, Anubis was truly a Reaper, transferred his consciousness to a suitable species to build an empire and rule over the creatures, exterminate any civilisations that would possibly pose such a threat to the Reapers by the end of the cycle. He had found a parasitic species capable of taking a sentient being as its host and possess their intelligence. This species was known as the Goa'uld. Transplanting many symbionts into a handful of humanoid species such as the Unas as their first host species for dominance and survival, they would certainly serve a greater role to serve the Reapers. He had begun setting his plan in motion to search for the ultimate weapon of obliterating sentient life.
The Halos
Scattered across the known cosmos by their creators after the First Ones used them to ultimately wipe out the early civilisations under the influence of Ori to give them power through worship. Maintained his leadership over the Goa'uld Empire since its creation and placed some of his key roles in position to ensure his position was secured but knew over time someone would take over ruin his plans in the next thousands of years. Anubis sent out ships and probes throughout galaxy, searching for planets once seeded by the Forerunners when they once controlled a large portion of the Milky Way, using their knowledge or from other advanced species to build a powerful weapon for the Reapers to operate for their plans to invade the Milky Way.
Anubis would have the entire galaxy under his rule through the Goa'uld and ensure that no human civilisation would reach an advance technological level to enable them strength against his empire. Unfortunately his plans for the Milky Way were foiled by a Goa'uld named Ra, intervened, starting a civil war which caused him his supremacy over the empire and exiled by the race he helped leaped into an advance civilisation.
However, all was not lost. Knowing something such as his exile would come as prophesied he traveled the galaxy and taken many of his followers with him, creating a powerful army crush any forces that dare to oppose him. But in the pre-Unification War, the Tau'ri; the successors of the Forerunners risen to power and defeated many of the Goa'uld System Lords. Returned as their superior once again to annihilate the Tau'ri and other races who took the chance and destroyed his empire.
Defeated, but not killed. Following his exile by Ra Anubis had found research of Ascension left by the Ancients, a chance he take to become powerful again but greater. Encountered an ascended Ancient, one of the descendants of the Alterans but had not took part in the Ori War. Oma Desala as he remembered well, gave him several tests to be worthy of ascension and passed them all, receiving his reward at long last. But when the delusional Ancient realised what he was and his plans were it was too late; the foolish Ancients could not stop him nor descend him from his ascension but unfortunately the Others had taken away the knowledge he gained in his high ascended state and only retained them as a Goa'uld but he was prepared for such action and enough to operate advanced technologies, including the Forerunners'.
He would show them how far his powers have grown over the centuries and they shall soon follow the same fate as all sentient life.
Halo Galaxy, Halo Sol System
Stargate Command
"Man, I almost forgot what an ass Kinsey is. And still one for that matter." Jack muttered, sitting on a chair with coffee in his hand. Among others were the SG-1 joined him after a 'pleasant' chat with the ambassader of the EA, having failed to convince him of the threat the SC pose, especially the Reapers. He and everyone knew that their planet would not stand a chance against a huge invading fleet of machines wanting to wipe out all civilizations for their own personal reasons. The arrogant Kinsey believes the Earth Alliance can take on the invasion without taking a single note of what they're dealing with, despite hearing the warnings from the alien representatives.
Sheridan sighed, sitting beside them and having a drink of coffee with them. "Well you know what people like him are like. Despite being a member of Blue Cosmos he shares their beliefes." He hated them for their genecidal acts and how the government and military he sworn to serve became easily manipulated into becoming more like them. His hatred for them grew when on an archaeological dig on ancient civlizations his wife was part of were killed by their acts against Coordinators, which happened five years ago. Tempted to leave the military in a way Jack had done but had a thought of being one of the officers who don't like machines and help make a better future for the next generations, regardless of their genetic types.
"But still, I can't believe you guys actually made contact with actual aliens. Hell one of them is actually human-close by genetics if thats possible." The captain of the Agamennone thought it must have been amazing to encountering alien species. Even Halberton took it well that they weren't alone in the universe, the bad thing about it is that some wanted to exterminate humanity. "Gonna get use to all this."
"Oh, I'm sure for you it will." Jack gave him a small grin before bring his cup to his lips.
"And what's that mean?" Sheridan asked, knowing his friend since the academy.
"Oh nothin, nothin. Just careful when looking for a new girl." Both Sam and Daniel sighed over his mischief and humor, but seeing John's face turning red after mention the Minbari ambassador he met.
"N-Now wait just a minute, I was not ogling her-
"I never said anything!" Jack pulled his hands in defence but still grinning. "But would've love to take a photo of your face."
"Sir. Please." Sam punctured his sentence before he could finish it.
"I also hear you two are engaged. Congrats." Smiles to the two of them having hearing the news.
Carter smiles warmly at him of his words. "Thanks, although we didn't think it would work in our career but with things changing we took the chance."
"And about time." Daniel blurted before drinking his tea.
"Jackson." Jack gave him a stern look after hearing jokes about it.
While they were talking about different subjects, the representatives were discussing their own of the war.
"With the Shadow Collective forces occupying the fourth planet of your home star system, it will require our combine fleet to liberate the planet and of the importance, the Prothean outpost. It is our primary objective that it must not fall into enemy forces." Thor speculated, discussing strategy to the Orb allies.
Landry nodded and aware of the growing threat thats right outside their solar system that would arrive anytime. "From Doctor Jackson's files, these Protheans were an advanced species and presumed to have built the Mass Relays."
"It became doubtful when our scientists speculate that these relays are much older then they appear, far older than the Protheans could've build." Picard said. "The main occupants of the outpost are mainly two cybertronian factions; Decepticons and Predacons. We've yet to know mor until the main fleet's arrival."
"So long as its safer to know what we're dealing with, heard about them and their transforming abilities." The Orb General said, reading more of the files to know what they were since Stargate Command only began operation for about five years. "Unfortunately we don't have FTL-engines and with the war we're in; we're in a tight situation and we could be getting invaders on our doorstep any day."
"It amazes me how Senator Kinsey seems unfazed of the threat that poses to his people. They must realise that working alongside one another against the common enemy could give them a chance to survive." Delenn thought out lout. Since meeting him, the man hardly listen to their words of the danger that would threaten their world and refuses to form an alliance with their genetic counterparts.
"You have to understand ambassador, things have been strained of our relations with them thanks to the terrorists and the incident of Junius 7." Halberton brought up of the times both sides had reasons to hate each other.
"We are familiar with the horrific event." Kyron said in solemn. "The Coordinators have our deepest sympathy of the death of thousands of lives. We know what it feels to loose so many in wars and bloodsheds." Even though they hardly know what his facial expression was behind the mask but could hear his soft tone. "It is important that we-" Stopped at his sentence, stood and froze for the moment until he struggled to maintain his balance. His hand reached for his head while the other clutches to the table.
"High Priest." Delenn reached for him, helped the ambassador to his seat. Many who were present were worried what happened and some had never seen this happened to Kyron.
"Your holiness!" His guards reacted also and immediately rushed to his aide.
"I am fine! But.. I have felt them. The Reapers." At the tone of his voice, they hardly said a word, knowing well of his powerful psionic abilities.
"In Valen's name." Horrified by this news, knowing the High Priest would never say such false information.
The Captain of the Menelaus found this both surprised and unwell of the news. "You mean these aliens are already here?!"
Picard shared the similar grim expression among others. "I'm afraid it is, Admiral. We must inform our fleets of the current situation. Our forces will most likely to move into action to aide the native forces against this threat."
Landry nodded in agreement. "Much appreciate the offer. If they have a Reaper with them, we're gonna need all the help."
Halberton took his hat and began his leave but turned to the group one last time. "I just hope our forces can be corporative to work with in this situation. And I look forward to seeing your ships in action, ambassadors. Just glad we're going to receive help."
"Our allies will make their arrival shortly. You'll be seeing more new faces in this universe in time." Picard promised him, knowing that this world will be meeting alien neighbours for the first time. Hopefully to save as many as possible from a possible invasion.
The invading forces of the Collective move from their recent attack on another outpost before it could sound the alert them of their presence. The Leading vessel, a single Reaper leading the invading fleet towards their newest target; Halo Earth. Knowing they would be detected by Alliance sooner than the native races of the star system would realise of what awaits them.
Aboard one of the main vessels close by the Reaper was captained by Zetsumei. The winged individual with his arms crossed in front of his armored plated chest, stood in the middle of the command centre, observing the holo image of the planet they were approaching to.
Turning to one of the Collector soldiers. "What is the situation on the Prothean outpost?"
The Collector responses in its native language. "The Decepticon forces have secured the area and attempt to deactivate security systems before our arrival, we've immediately found several ships in hyperspace on the direct route to this system. We have received report from our agents of the Humans' first contact with the Federation."
It was becoming more troublesome as the Alliance has sent a fleet to liberate the outpost they've captured. "Then we must proceed as plan. The nearest colony is where they are stationed to as I have learned. Perhaps we shall introduce ourselves as the bringers of death."
"So we're finally going to invade this back watered planet?" Entering the command centre was Shin'Notarr, still clad in his current attire.
Zetsumei groans in annoyance as the psychotic Reaper entered. The former prisoner was not to be released from his prison until the invasion was ordered by Anubis but would hardly matter as the humans' fate was sealed from the beginning. "Indeed, the cycle has begun and Humanity, along with the rest of the civilisations share give their lives for us on our ascension."
Shin'Notarr stood beside him, looking at the display with a malevolent expression. "As long as I get to kill as many of those pitiful bipeds the Alterans created before the rest of the fleet arrives." Shin'Notarr proclaimed, carrying a sharp grin on his face. Holding his scythe over his shoulers and carrying it with two lazy arms. "I want to hear the screams and howls in agony when they meet their oblivion." Whispering in a sinister tone that would send shivers to any being's spine but all around him were AIs, Collectors and Kull that hardly feel any emotions. The hole display changes to the artificial station that recently came upon their sensors. A small sense of curiosity entered his mind of the display. "What's this?"
"A colony perhaps for the humans inhabiting this system, there was a recent battle between two factions. This will gain your interest more than just that." Zetsumei commanded the drones to change the display to what appeared to be a larger ship shaped like a sword and dwarfing several ships. To Shin'Notarr's surprise after immediately recognising the vessel as a Federation warship along with many fighters defending it.
"The Alliance has already made contact?" His shock then returned to the common facial expression he always wore. "This can be a perfect opportunity to strike at our prey, we can have an audience to witness our power! If my body was here I would've easily wipe out an entire fleet!"
"Calm yourself, Shin'Notarr there will be plenty of battles for you. You must control the lust for blood a little longer." Assuring his comrade until they arrive at their destination. What he was holding back from Shin'Notarr was the possible presence of a Forerunner within the very star system the Reapers will soon invade, could not reveal what he has thought until the was solid evidence. No one had heard or seen their race for thousands of years since the extinction of the Ori and presumed to have ascended or traveled along with the rest of the First Ones. If possible survivors are here? Then perhaps they could either be persuaded or forced to accept their fate of offering themselves to the Reapers' goal. Either way they will be converted or face death.
The Forerunners, like others before them such as the Eldar and the Protheans from the previous cycle have fallen to oblivion, and along with their's and the Ancients' legacies will follow.
'The Cycle cannot be broken, civilizations rise and fall as the way nature intended. And shall always be that way.'
USS Leviathan
On the bridge the Sangheili commander disembarked the turbo lift where Keltrad alongside Byron came before him from his immediate return, both looking concerned; neither of them had actually came in contact with a Reaper in their lives; let alone fought one after reading the results of the previous battles against these terrifying behemoths. They were uncertain that the natives would put up a fight against them even if they were to work together.
"Captain, orders?" One of the officers spoke out. Looking at their superior who stood there silently, until now. "Establish communications with our allies and inform the ZAFT fleet with us of the invasion. Now." Giving them the order and took the chair to await a respond.
Commander Shansheem st next to his comrade and friend as they prepare for the battle. "So it came at last, this entire system is now pulled in the war as we tried to hold them."
Byron let out a sigh and couldn't agree more with him. Turning towards Keltrad with a hard look. "Keltrad, get our fighters into position and get Nihilus to know of the fleets' current location."
Keltrad nodded his head in response. "Got it Guess the diplomacy will have to wait. Just one one thing, captain; are you letting your son in that mobile suit for combat? Those things aren't entirely equipped to deal with this type of threat but to other mobile suits at its level."
"That has come to my attention and he did told me he would continue to use the Strike for the time being. Not sure why but he said it felt like he wanted to use it and is the only one who can operate the machine until for the moment." Byron explained, when his son first talked about using it he was a little surprise that he wanted to use it despite the Mobile suit less advanced but if they could upgrade it closer to the Valkyries it could stand a chance but would like remove those upgrades as it isn't Federation property but to Orb as they designed them.
"Hope they're ready for this. Truthfully I had hoped it never came this soon." Keltrad admitted, in truth he was afraid to face them out of all the member species in the Collective.
Byron nodded. "As do I. Ensign get me in with Stargate Command this instant!"
"Already on it, sir. Wait a minute-captain! A transmission is being broadcast at an amazing power!"
Out of all the crew present NIhilus brought up a thought when listening from one of the officers. "Wait, this is something I read on the reports before at the Battle of Altakiril. They're broadcasting their message to entire system."
Everyone turned their attentions to the Turian who stood with a paled expression. Realising that if they are broadcasting to the entire solar system it would made a global panic in the population, everything they had been preparing for was at stake. "Put it on channel I want to hear what they saying to the people of this system." Bryon wanted to know exactly what they intend to say to the native humans. On audio the voice was something dark and emotionless, void of all sense that made many officers' spine chilled and hair stand on end.
What Nihilus spoke of was indeed true; Every city, home, ship, station and even the colonies in the entire system with listening to the broadcast from cellphones, computers, televisions and radios. crowds gather in huge numbers as they listen to the message, on screens was an image of a giant squid. There were many questions about them. Both Coordinators and Naturals had no idea what to think of this as they never thought to have actually encounter extraterrestrials.
"Are they real aliens?!"
"Who are they?
"Are they good or hostile?"
"Its a real invasion!"
So many questions until a voice spoke out that made their very souls chill.
"Accessing to all communications barrier. I speak to the organics of this system. There is a realm of existence so far beyond your own you cannot even imagine it. I am Eros. You are not alone in this universe. We have been hidden among you in realm of Dark Space, the void between galaxies. What you call us is irrelevant but many civilizations of this current cycle simply refer to us as Reapers as we give voice to their destruction as you shall follow. We simply are."
Listening to their words, some already showing physical expressions of fear and worry that these aliens were intended to invade and kill them without any regards of who they are. Some had hoped it was a prank. Others thought they could blame the Coordinators/Naturals for their misdeeds and take the blame. As they listen more from the Reapers, it was becoming more of a nightmare.
"Organic life is nothing but a genetic mutation, an accident. Your lives are measured in years and decades. You wither and die. We are eternal, the pinnacle of evolution and existence; before us, you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable. We are the end of everything. We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution; you exist because we allow it and you'll end because we demand it."
Aboard the Leviathan the whole crew listened to their speech to the native humans, those who have heard it for the first time found it horrifying and cruel of how the Reapers justify themselves to decide who should life and die and compare themselves as superior to those they consider 'inferior'.
"I am the vanguard of your destruction. This conversation is over." With the broadcast ended, everyone remained silent for a few moments to absorb what they heard from the Reapers.
The Petrosapien gritted his diamond jaws as the Reapers and their collective fleet had arrived sooner then expected. "Captain, with respect we have no options but to use all our firepower on them. These Reapers we know little about but they've bound to have a weakness."
Nihilus nodded his head. "I agree, we should hold them off as long as possible for the alliance fleet to arrive. The natives of this system will not stand a chance against them."
Byron sighed as his head sunk. They waited for his orders to either help the native humans or wait for the fleet to arrive. For what felt like forever he rose from his chair and his helmet retreated to his suit, revealing his human face with a serious expression. "Order the fleet to prepare for battle. We will not let anymore lives
"We're getting a transmission from the Archangel." The helm officer proclaimed
"Do it." The captain gave an order.
A holographic screen appeared before the crew present with Morrue sitting on the captain's chair with a worried expression. "Captain, our sensors are picking up multiple anomalies from where our new 'visitors' had came from." She said with her expression becoming more worried Is it true? These things… Reapers… want to destroy us?"
"I'm afraid its true, ma'am, regardless of the species or genetic faction. They regard all organic sentients as a plague to their ideals. And that goes for humans, wether they are Tau'ri Coordinators ot Naturals, it is nothing to them. You wont stand a chance against them with the amount of forces and standard technology your people possess."
"Then we'll do what we can to assist your fleet. It is the least we can do after your help to safe Heliopolis." The female captain offered.
"Much appreciate the offer, but if you wish to participate you must listen to any orders given by our ships as our forces have more experiences with some of them."
"Now wait just a minute!" Another voice from outside the screen but was stopped by Captain Ramius with her head turned.
"We need their help Ensign Badgiruel, this is beyond our understanding of this new enemy!"
They were glad to know she was understanding of the situation. "We'll send you the data of these foes. The more you know about them the better. Good luck."
She nodded in approval and the screen vanished.
"The Odin's Wrath and the Valiant are moving into defensive formation." The helmsman reported.
"Received contact from the Citedal fleet upon their near arrival in a few minutes."
Byron nodded. "Good, the sooner the better."
The communications officer turned to the captain. "Captain, we're receiving hail from the ZAFT fleet. Identified as a Nazca-class destroyer."
"On screen, now." Ordered by Thon.
The screen showed a man in ZAFT military uniform, tannish skin and short brown hair. "This is Captain Fredrik Ades of the ZAFT ship Vesalius speaking to the ship known as Leviathan. After listening on the aliens' so-called 'speech' we request a possible truce to fight these invaders."
This came to a surprise to the crew after hearing this; ZAFT ships wanting to help out as the EA do to defend their world.
'Maybe this could a start to build strong relations.' "This is Captain Byron Alexander of the USS Leviathan, we accept your request. But advisable of coming into conflict with these forces, they're not like anything you ever faced are very powerful. But if you have any serious fire power, take out the largest flagship when at its weakened state."
"Much appreciate it, captain. Since you know more about them I'll take your word for it. Vesalius out." Ending communications with the ship.
Nihilus turned to the captain. "Much surprising that the ZAFT forces wish to help us even after our arrival to the system. Very confusing how humans behave no matter where they're from."
Many couldn't agree with him more on the topic as humanity is one of the most diverse species in the known universe.
"Receiving hail from the Admiral, sir." The screen revealed a strong built Caitian male dark brown and star fleet armour.
"This Admiral K'rrel of the USS Odin's Wrath to all Federation and allied forces, set weapons on standby and fighters into position. We must hold the enemy fleet off until reinforcements arrive. Lets show these soulless bastards what we're made of."
Everyone in the hanger bay ran around like there was no tomorrow; or something that would actually happen if they don't get themselves ready now that the war had come to this solar system. The engineers worked non-stop on the fighters. refitting them with the latest weapons and shield technologies for better combat against the enemy fleet. Taking notes from the more experienced mechanics who learned much from the latest technologies of the Collective after scavenging a few debris of parts to know more of how they work.
The latest models of the Messiah-class fighters were designed based on more like the cybertronian allies on the transformation abilities than the previous generations, with the help of the Autobot mechanical engineer Wheeljack to fight better against opponents close to them such as the Decepticons.
Redesigned their personnel shield generators into reflective barriers, an armour of hard-light, despite being newly designed and limited depending on the size, they would give the fighters time to recover from their battles. For all the fleet being refitting with new upgrades, even the oldest models were given upgrades. In the war for survival, the alliance can't afford to waste any resources they could use to fight.
Kira, fitted in his combat suit made his way to the bay, making sure he didn't get in anybody's way with all the action going on. Making his way to a pair of Unggoy engineeers who were checking on the data of his mech. "Anything on the GUNDAM, guys?"
The two engineers jumped in fright as they were too busy to notice his presence. Turning around to see him, one of them glared at Kira and pointed his finger at the young pilot.
"Are you trying to scare us to death?!"
"Yeah! I thought for sure something scary was coming behind us and then kill us!" The other proclaimed, still shaking after that frightful encounter.
Kira couldn't help but find it funny how they always get scared, even felt bad for them being used as cannon fodder back in the Covenant War. "My bad, I didn't know that you were busy and came to check on the machine I'm going to operate."
"Oh, that. Well its nothing we find hard but with simple upgrade by the captain's authorisation. But one question; why this machine out of all the others we have. Its not even ours." Gesturing to the mobile suit Strike. He went to his father and asked to use it again as Kira was the only one to operate it after using the codes that he only knows. Byron took this a little surprising but accepted with Captain Ramius agreed with him also and will return it in one piece after the situation was over. He could tell they did a good job on a few basic designs. It was now equipped with an A.I. to help him pilot the mobile suit better.
The shield generator for the Strike's defensive capabilities were upgraded from the Orb Union's new phase armor to absorb impacts but would take damage if it reaches a limit but the area of the machine thanks to the trade relations between the Alliance and Stargate Command, or mostly by Carter and another scientist Rodney of the Atlantis Expedition. The weapons it was equipped may give it an advantage, if it was fighting opponents such as the Halo Earth's standard mechs but seem capable of taking on foes of how the pilot would handle from years of training. Its thrusters would now allow it to reach the speed of the Messiahs and Valkyries.
Knowing a lot of the upgrades they gave it and was impressed. "Wow, you guys done a great job. But I doubt it shouldn't be too hard for me to pilot it."
"After what we heard, I'm sure you would." The first Unggoy mechanic had heard of the young cadet's first time piloting it and was a little clumsy of it and nearly beaten by a coordinator.
"Hey, i piloted many types of mechs in the academy to know more about them; Battle pods, drones and even the older generations of Tau Battlesuits."
Before the mechanics could reply a Huragok floated towards him, staring at him with its multiple eyes as Kira smiled at it. "Hey, Gura, how you doing? Come to see me off?"
It nodded its head and gave a few licking noises. Kira put one hand on its sack. He had been very interested in the Huragok ever since he first heard of them of being one of the Forerunners' creations of engineering their technology.
In fact he easily understood them as if they knew one another. Not many had learned of this and found it impossible, easily believed he was just using a translating device
"Yeah, I know things are getting bad now that the Collective are here. Don't worry I'll be careful and after the battle I'll introduce you and others to my friends. They're a little nervous so best let them get adjust first." The Huragok named Gura nodded once more and watches him climb about the Gundam.
The two Unggoy who were present at the moment had their eyes widened and had their jaws open behind their breathing masks. Looking back at the retreating Huragok and back to the young pilot entering the machine.
"Was it my imagination or did he just understood what that Engineer said? Without physical touch or a translator?" One of them asked, scratching his head in wonder.
"No way, Tau'ri may be genetically advanced in kinetic abilities but they still have limits. Those things are hard to understand and need an expert to translate. Must be using one to talk to these Engineers. Now come on, we got work to do!"
Kira sat in the cockpit and setting the computer on for standby. Typing in the codes to get the mobile suit online and ready for combat.
'Do not heed the words of the Fallen.'
"Huh?" Kira could've sworn he heard a voice and a very familiar one. "W-Was that… Kosh? The Fallen? Who are they? Damn, I'm starting to loose it." Rubs his eyes through the gloved fingers. 'Maybe after this battle I could ask my parents about this.' Could not afford to let these strange events get in the way to stoop the invasion, hold it off as possible. Earth may not be entirely his home but it was where his birth-parents and his friends came from and now has to protect it money matter who or what they are.
There was another reason for this, one that he considers important most of all. 'I hope to see her soon after this, please be safe.'
The launch was set up for the mech, beams in the Strike's direction of launch. "Kira Alexander. Strike launching!" The mobile suit was catapulted by the powerful launch, making him lean back by such force until he emerges out of the warship and into space along with the other fighters. Immediately activating the thrusters to manoeuvre the mobile suit through space at ease and to join the forming fleet of fighters and vessels.
Joining alongside with the native ships, dwarfing them by their size, many from both the remaining Earth Alliance fleet and ZAFT were both awed and utter shock of the immense size and numbers these newcomers had, making the natives feel small compared to them.
Vesalius
"Amazing isn't it captain, that we made first contact with extraterrestrials and some want to annihilate our species." Rau said, staring into the view of the alien fleet joining them after accepting request of aide to defend Earth.
Fedrick could agree with him and in still amazed of a lot of things happening in one day. All they were assigned by the council was to liberate the G-weapons but it seems they got more than what they wanted. "I know some will not like this but if these invaders truly intend to wipe out the entire human race, coordinators included then we may not be a match against them alone. An alliance with them could give us a fighting chance. And if we don't do anything then billions would die by our ignorance."
"Well spoken, captain. Time for a test run for the rest of the G-weapons." The masked Coordinator suggested. While showing a calm and neutral face on the surface but beneath the masked expression, he would be smiling in amusement of the coming battle. 'The fools do not realise it is inevitable to deny the fate we made for them. Both genetics of this world are doomed to extinction even if they some how escape the Reapers' wrath.'
"Sir, we're approaching the ships within 50km. Orders?"
The captain said nothing for a moment, only to say a simple command. "When they come into firing range. Give them hell."
The Shadow Collective invasion fleet made its way further into the system until an approaching fleet was coming towards them. Instantly recognising the others from the alien fleet. Possibly a defence force to try a futile attempt to defend their species. Already the Reaper, Geth and the Sark ships have begun analysing the data of the ships' weapons, defence, weak and strong points to be exploited. Doing the same on the ISA fleet that had joined to help them.
A Sark drone leading the faction was linked with it's ship and observing the data streams. But one thing it took interested was a lone Earth manufacture mobile weapon alongside Starfleet Valkyries and Messiahs which was peculiar for Starfleet to have a primitive mech in their fleet but also found their technology integrated with it to be more advanced. BUt before it could analyse the individual further they received signals of the defending fleets firing their weapons.
[ALL DRONES INTO COMBAT MODE. DESTROY ANY SHIPS THAT APPROACH THE REAPER.] The Sark leader gave command to it's fellow drones.
[WE HAVE RECEIVED A BIO-SCAN OF THE ORGANIC LIFE-FORMS. ONE OF THEM IS UNKNOWN TO OUR CURRENT DATA FILES.]
[LOCATE THIS ORGANISM AND RETRIEVE IT FOR STUDY. THE REAPER AVATAR IS ALSO AWARE OF THE ANOMALY. THE REST SHALL BE ELIMINATED FOR WHEN THE FLEET ARRIVES.] Giving it's orders to the drones of finding this unknown target. Also curious of what this unknown species is and wether it may be a possible threat to them.
The weapons fired by the native ships were missiles loaded with powerful explosives that could blow a ship to pieces. But to something like a Reaper or a Sark they are nothing to them. Easily scraping them off by their personal shields and armour. But from those made entirely of plasma and photons, it would be enough to sleeve scratches at first.
they returned fire, charging weapons before the defending fleet could be in range: beams of energy fired from the bow of the ships that formed around the Reaper. They intend to clear a path for the Old Machine to complete it's mission..
My apologies for the long delay, college is becoming more and more busy, even consuming my time on the fanfics and sooner or later there will be a delay on the fanfics with a need for a career and my own illustrations to do, and when I go to university. You get the idea.
so I hope you all enjoy the the one part of the Invasion chapter now hopefully the background information of Anubis bleared the idea of how he is associated with the Reapers. And I'm looking for any beta readers to help with any grammar and spelling to fix and also pointers so I can correct them.
spoilers. There will be a battle over Halo Mars and introducing other familiar characters from mass effect. Not saying who you like to see anyone that can guess.
