Note: this is a somewhat alt. universe story in the sense that my O.C. Ru (pronounced like 'Roo'), ends up in the ME. Universe. This story is through her eyes and she is not Shepherd in any way. Other than how Ru ends up there the story will more or less follow the story of the games. Please note, I have only just completed playing the first game and currently am working my way through the other games. I might miss some things here and there. Please bare with me and I do take constructive criticism to help improve my writing.
Prologue:
I don't know where it all went wrong to be honest. I don't even remember how I got in this cave with this best breathing down my neck. Kachi and I-how did we end up here. The Kaiju was in here with us the entire time that's all I can remember through the pain. The gut wrenching, immense pain radiating from my abdomen makes it hard to even think straight. Something forces its way in my abdomen piercing through everything and all that I can muster as I try to fight it is a blood filled cry of pain. The blood though, it chokes out whatever sound I was making. That's all I can taste, is blood. I hear something, an animal roar and I am suddenly knocked out of the Kaiju's grip. My body tumbles to the ground like a rag doll. I try to pick myself up, just managing to steady myself on my hands and knees. I try to focus, I have to help Kachi but my body hasn't started healing yet. Accelerated healing can come in handy but only when it actually decides to kick in. I really wish it wasn't an involuntary reflex. I try to focus as I force myself to breathe through the pain. That's hard to do when you have a gaping hole in your body and your only friend is fighting to protect you. The thought of Kachi fighting by himself, my only family left in this forsaken world, pushes me to get up and fight. Long black hair falls over my shoulders as I stand trying to keep myself upright. My lower arms and hands, abnormally clawed and looking more scaled than skin, crack at the joints as I ball them into a fist. I look at the large beast it's gargantuan figure towering over a smaller figure. My vision blurred I can't really make out any real details. Both that I can't tell which is the Kaiju and which is Kachi. With the last bit of my strength I rush forward to give it my all in one last attempt to fight, at least I think it will be. But then, a light some sort of force behind it knocks me back. Is it another inter dimensional portal? Another Kaiju? But where is it? Nothing has come through. But some sort of force has begun to pull me-us-everything into the swirling vortex. I feel myself being dragged in. Everything is being dragged into this vortex…whatever it is. I can't stop myself from being pulled in, I can't even make my body do anything. It won't listen.
Move…move!
In response to my command I can feel the sharp twinge of my body suddenly trying to heal itself, the deep muscles in the beginning processes of knitting back together, as I am hurled through the portal. I hear a roar, something calling out to me. But I can't respond as I'm thrown about in this wormhole or whatever it is. There's flashing colors, darkness and then nothing. No sound, no voices…I can't even hear my own heartbeat. Am I even breathing? It feels as if an eternity passes like I've been here in this…void for thousands of lifetimes. It's cold and empty. Then I'm catapulted through the same vast emptiness before a flash of colors and sound suddenly hit me. Pain registers as I hit something hard, like metal. I feel as if I've been spat out like an old piece of gum. I can barely register anything going on. Just a few sounds before I am swallowed by darkness.
