I just want to lay a few things down. There were casualties from the humans side, but they were duplicates as the ability has become an essential one for living in the world they live in. So none of them actually died, duplicates however take 48 hours to dissolve after dyeing. So now that you know that, here's the story!
The Turain Hierarchy sent the information to the Citadel Council after they had examined it. They could use nothing from the DNA samples to create something akin to the genophage and any other virus would just be neutralized in a matter of minutes. The other thing they discovered was that when they killed a human with wings, it would turn into pure light then dissolve into ash after 36 hours. The only ones that were usable were the humans with biotics, yet even their DNA seemed to have mutated to allow them to use the ability so efficiently that amplifiers were useless. Furthermore they saw that trying to add the specialised genes into other creatures would prove fatal to the new carrier.
What intrigued them was the fact that there were energy readings coming from the bodies. Not normal readings that biotics have, which were small trace amounts of Element Zero, they had a reading that astounded the scientist. Of the 10 humans they had, two of them had 5 different signatures, the rest all had two. Only one of the signatures were identifiable, which worried them. These were Salarain scientist the Turains had hired, not some second standard scientist.
_-Citadel-_
"Readings cannot be right. True element does exist, but technology required to extract power do not. Ships too big to be able to use FTL effectively, but species seems to bypass laws of physics." The Salarain councillor rubbed his chin in thought, looking at space ship the Turains had been chasing. "Perhaps species found a way to neutralize the laws… No, not possible, requires too much power… Interesting, no radiation leaks…"
"What have you made of this councillor?" asked the Turain councillor.
"It would seem that these species you troops have attacked are more advanced than the Protheans themselves. We might be dealing with their chosen successors or even the Prothean race themselves." The Asari Councillor replied, a frown forming her face. "It also seems that this specie doesn't truly rely on biotics. I have been part of a project to discover how biotics work, and I can tell you for sure, the skills that some of these Humans poses are far from biotic."
"Councillor Sparatus, have soldiers recovered human specimens for analysis?" asked Eistan
"Yes, I believe they recovered the two the soldiers had dubbed The Fiery God Of Vengeance and the Angel of Death." Sparatus said.
"Why would your soldiers dub them with such names?" asked matriarch Tevos
"They are two of the Humans who possessed abilities that caused the slaughter. The only human the soldiers feared more than those two was the one they dubbed God of Gods. The fear these humans have placed in the soldier's minds is unheard of." He replied
Basement Laboratories
James and Danni had become bored playing dead, and wanted to get to work. The only thing stopping them is the large crowd of scientist who are bickering with each other.
"And I thought your siblings were bad!" James exclaimed telepathically
"They are, this is just a whole new level of bad. James, can't we just duplicate and overshadow them all? It'll make it much easier to get what we came for that way." Danni asked.
"I guess we can, just be sure to stay invisible."James said. "Why are we even doing this in the first place?"
Flash back
"Danni, James I need two people on that ship. Their headed towards the Citadel and we need the Spector's data and the data from the other two council species." Danny said.
"We are going to play dead, I think they'll want to get our corpses. It would be valuable for them to study. We will make sure they don't get our blood in their hands." James replied.
Duplicating and overshadowing a soldier, he shot himself right between the eyes and fell down to the ground, pretending to be dead. He left that soldiers body and entered a snipers body before he shot Danni in the same location. The soldiers were ordered to retreat, but take some bodies with them, so Danni and I made sure that we were the only bodies that were near the retreating soldiers.
They flung us over their shoulders and carried us off towards the ship. They were still careful with us, as if we would jump up at any second. Which we could and it was very tempting to do so, but we fought the urge to and stayed dead.
"I still can't believe those two are dead. After all the wounds we inflicted on them, it only took a shot between their eyes to take them out." one of the soldiers said.
"I know what you mean, it's suspicious. I could have sworn they were shot there before."
The other soldier nodded and they walked off. With a sigh, I sat up and looked at Danni. She had an irritated look on her face and I raised a brow. She shrugged and rolled over.
End of Flashback
James and Danni quickly began to work, duplicating themselves and then overshadowing the aliens. It felt odd, the body was much thinner than his and he was crammed into his meat suite… He hated it to overshadow people, especially those smaller than him, add to the fact that he was 3 more under his control, it was a pain in the butt being him.
"Stupid thin aliens, how's a real man supposed to fit in this?" James complained.
Giggling at her husband's misfortune she replied suggestively. "Oh, we know these aren't real men. Only you could fill that role, and a few other things…"
"One thing thou, you look really gross right now, I don't even know what this meat suite has for a boner. Oh wait, there I feel it jumping at your words. Still this is gross." He proceeded to mumble incoherently about skinny twig scientist.
They walked out and went to the spectres' offices, where they quickly jumped bodies. They then quickly and stealthily went and copied all the information on the systems, as well as all the science and advancements. As everything was open to the spectres' they didn't need to go anywhere else to obtain data. They left the spectres' bodies and flew thru walls until they reached the outside and flew into space.
"Wide open spaces, and pure black! Nothing is better than this feeling, well except maybe the fact that we can breathe in this ice cold air." Danny said
"Well, let us go back to our house, I was getting bored here. They are supposedly so advanced, but they are still primitive, I mean did you read how they treat their so called client races?" asked James.
Punching his arm out, James opened a swirling green mass. Inside was a small station with a door, which leads to the Fenton's house. They quickly entered and James shut the portal behind him, neither of them noticed a camera that observed the actions.
_- Salarain Spectre-_
She couldn't believe what she just saw, two things had proceeded to exit the bodies of two of her team mates. Then flew thru walls until they reached space, were the mail proceeded to open a rip in the space-time continuum. 'Wouldn't it use extreme amounts of energy to do that?'
As she went over the information for the sensors placed outside the ship, she saw several spikes in energy. There were spikes in 4 previously undiscovered radiation types, after which tree would drop down and the one would become sustained by the radiation of the same type coming from the portal.
She also heard that the soldiers managed to get more than 2 bodies, but it was just mentioned that two were recovered. She went down to the labs and got samples from each of the bodies, when she went for the last two she discovered they were gone. Just two small spots of blood, it wasn't much, but it was enough. She also figured that these two were the ones who just left thru that portal.
Tacking the samples she started to study them. It took her 24 hours to analyse the samples, noting the differences in the samples and how some of the samples. It was interesting, and she was so caught up in it, she only left her work station to use the bathroom and eat. She's identified that every one of these samples has a unique sequence that interacts between all the chromosomes.
It seems, this species evolved in such a way, that none of the genes can be taken and used in another species. The DNA of the species is connected by DNA impulses, that lets chromosomes communicate with each other. Take that gene and place it in another species, that doesn't have the DNA impulses, it would slowly kill it from the inside. Her experiments with Gene-splicing at least told her that, which intrigued her even more. The species resembled Asari, which suggests they had similar evolutionary paths, but the difference is, that Asari are more of the reptilian species than the mammal species.
The spectre worked for 2 weeks on completely figure out that there was a gene sequence in the species that should have killed them, but for some odd reason it doesn't kill them, but strengthens and enhances their life span and abilities. She had also discovered something that shook the foundations on which her society was based. Magic…
Yes, it was possible to determine that they used magic, why? The blood she had tested started to glow, and the room became completely energized by large pulses of energy. The pulses were strong enough to override the gravity in the room, the other effect that lead her to the conclusion was that it had mysteriously added strange runic symbols to the walls.
As she compiled the last of her results into her report, she set off to the council to report to them. She wasn't sure how they would react to the information, but she knew this would at least warn them about the species odd make-up and abilities. She was afraid to admit it, but the dating test done on those samples suggested that those two who had escaped were roughly 3000 years old, how that was possible she didn't know.
_-John Shepherd-_
"Sooooo, how many did you kill? I took out about 10 with one hit and quite a few more after that." Asked Tucker
"I took down a platoon invading from the other side with my speciality." I replied smugly.
"James! You know you're not supposed to use that attack on a planetary fight! Heaven-Hell-Flash is strong enough to take out a planet!" Valarie scowled.
"I had training with it from Danny!" I countered
"You know as well as any elite that the energy from those two dimensions is not supposed to clash! The only reason we are taught the HHF is to destroy invasions from other dimensions!" Dani shouted as she came out of the portal.
I just rolled my eyes. Trust her to go on about not using that attack when she uses it the most often of us all. She was such a hypocrite, not even following the rules, but trying to make others follow it to the "t".
_-Council-_
"Councillors I've discovered that this species have got a unique set of genes, however transgenic experiments proved that the genes cannot be transferred, as it would kill it's host. There is no possible way for us to know how to replicate their power." the Salarian spectre announced
"Veradi, I see here in your report that you mentioned that they posses magic. What made you come to this conclusion?" Tevos asked
"During one of my experiments, I was tying to tap into one of the power sources in the blood, somehow I had caused the it to release powerful waves of energy that negated the gravity in the room and burned strange symbols on the walls of the room. I do not know of anything else that could cause such an occurrence to happen." Veradi said.
"I hate this species..." Sparatus muttered under his breath.
"What did you just say?" asked Tevos
"I hate this Spirit-forsaken species!"
"Then why the hell did you start a war with them?"
"It was an accident! They seemed primitive and we wanted to have another client race! How were we supposed to know that their so advanced and had abilities that were not supposed to be possible! Not to mention one of them merged with computers and transferred all the data before unmerging and flying away. Not even affected by space at all!" shouted Sparatus
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKIN?! THAT"S IDIOTIC!" shouted Tevos
"All brawns no muscle."
Well that's it for this chapter, stay tuned for more. My update schedule will be a bit strange, but it might be very 2 weeks. See you guys then. OH, and I don't own Danny Phantom or Mass Effect or any of the things mentioned here.
