This will be the battle for earth. The Necris fleets has its own plans.

Commander Shepard, Admiral Hacket and Admiral Anderson were in the Normandy QEC discussing the plans to assault the Reaper forces occupying Earth. They were joined by their newest friend and their greatest ally against the Reapers; Admiral Reavus of the newly formed Necris Empire and their Organid anti-Reaper fleet, yet at the same time, the three Alliance men looked at Reavus with a frown. "Reavus, why hasn't your fleet joined with ours yet?" Admiral Hacket questioned.

Reavus who was over the second hologram-pad just smiled and answered; "Because my armada is already in Earth orbit waiting in warp space". All three men just uttered "WHAT" to what the Necris had stated, and Reavus only answered their questions. "I'm proposing an idea as how to go about attacking the Reaper space force. As you know Reaper armor is weakest at the back and they use directional shields, so whatever side they are attacked they focus all their shields that side".

Hacket with a level of interest as to what Reavus was getting at replied "So what are you getting at Admiral?" Reavus looked over to Hacket with his answer, "I'm saying that we use Sword fleet as a decoy to draw the Reapers out, and then I drop my Spear fleet right on top of them. Your classic divide and conquer tactic". Shepard, Anderson and Hacket smiled and nodded but were interrupted by Reavus again, "Of course once they realize what's going on they will quickly rearrange their fleet to compensate but by then it'll be too late for them. After which my Scythe ground teams will deploy along with your Hammer ground teams and we take the Citadel beam".

The men agreed to the plan and moved out to recapture Earth.

Shepard was on the Normandy bridge With Joker, eagerly awaiting the battle for the galaxy as they were in the Relay jump with the armies of the galaxy at their back. Joker looked up to Shepard and noted "Approaching Sol relay Commander" but Shepard never broke his gaze. Joker said again "We're through the relay in 30 seconds". The Normandy came out first followed by Sword fleet.

While they were headed to Earth and Joker was checking in on all the fleets, Shepard contacted Reavus, "Reavus, the fleets on the move, what's your fleets status". The sarcastic cocky Necris replied "Locked, loaded and ready to whup Reaper ass. NECRIS, PREPARE FOR DEPLOYMENT".

Sword fleet moved in formation to Earth and saw the true magnitude of the fleet the Reapers had pulled together to protect the Citadel. Shepard with the determination to destroy the Reapers said on a broadcast, "This is it everyone, be ready on my signal. FIRE!".

As he said that the whole of Sword fleet opened fire on the Reapers, hardly phasing them as the advanced. "On my command engage the Reaper forces" Shepard ordered, making all the fighters form up to attack the Reapers.

The battle was joined and Sword fleet had the Reapers undivided attention. Shepard over the radio said "Reavus, we got their attention. Start your assault". Reavus replied with a laugh, "Music to my ears friend". As Reavus said that, the Necris fleet deployed directly above the Reaper forces. 400 capital ships and 1600 destroyers each releasing swarms upon swarms of fighters began their descent on the Reapers and at the head was Reavus in his fighter; The Stinger. Reavus ordered to all Necris ships"NECRIS, DO WHAT YOU DO BEST AND SING THE SONG OF OUR PEOPLE".

With these words the Necris fleet unleashed hell, firing wave after wave of beams, railguns, swarmer missiles, and nova bombs on their adversaries. Reavus with his sadistic laugh was screaming "SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKERS. WE'RE BACK". The unrelenting bombardment destroyed 20% of the Reaper fleet and through them into complete disarray. Sword fleet and the Normandy were in aw of the Necris armada's ferocity. "HOLY SHIT! Glad their on our side." Joker said in pure shock at the Necris bombardment.

The Normandy was working its way past the Reapers to try and get to Earth when Joker shouted "Shit! We got a Reaper destroyer tailing us". Their concerns were ended when Reavus came up. "Don't worry, I got that anal dead in my sights" He said as he fired his anti-ship railgun, obliterating the Destroyer in one easy go. "You're clear, give the word and Scythe team will deploy along with Hammer".

The Normandy continued its descent, taking out a few fighters in its way and headed for Earth followed by a few other shuttles to take out the Reaper anti-air guns.

Hammer and Scythe deployed to London encountering heavy Reaper resistance. Hammer deployed to London South while Scythe deployed to London East. The Necris drop ships were towering ten story structures that poured Necris troops all over the area they landed. Despite landing in the most heavily fortified area the Reapers had, the Necris only suffered minimal casualties.

Their ground teams (which were also affected by Project Organid) consisted of their standard mutated super soldiers, Scorpion-like tanks which shot lasers out their hands and tails and tri-pod walkers with laser tentacles out their heads, backs and sides which were the strongest things the Necris had in their ground arsenal.

With the help of these juggernauts who were drawing the Reaper ground forces off Hammer due to their threat to the Reapers, over 80% of Hammer made it to the FOB (Forward Operating Base) intact. Shepard felt extremely calm and relaxed, like he had no weight on his shoulders at all. He could go into the final battle against the Reapers knowing full well that victory against the Reapers isn't based on a what-if chance, it's based on a fact, and that fact is Reavus and the Necris; the Reapers worst nightmares.

Note readers that this whole story was my idea for another DLC. So I will be posting the next chapter as if it were in the game, and would only occur under very specific circumstances.

anyway, R&R
