So this is my 'bonus' chapter if you can call it that. This is an alternate ending only if you have your galactic readiness at 100%. Only then will Reavus intervene (At least that's how it goes in my head).

This will take place directly after Shepard has killed the Reaper destroyer.

Shepard had a worrying look of concern when Anderson told him that several Sovereign class Reapers including Harbinger had broken off from sword and were headed for the Citadel beam, but nevertheless the mission had to proceed. They had to get to the beam, get to the Citadel and get the Crucible docked. He took the moment he had to have a word with his team and his mentor, knowing full well that this final push was going to be a tough one.

Meanwhile at the Sol relay, Admiral Hacket along with Shield fleet escorting the Crucible had appeared and were headed for the Citadel. He broadcasted to Sword and Spear fleet: "All fleets, the Crucible is on the move. Repeat, the Crucible is on the move". Hacket then noticed on the hologram of the ongoing battle that a Reaper squadron had broken off and were headed for London. "Any available forces, delay those Reapers leaving the battle. We've got to give Hammer and Scythe more time".

Hacket was interrupted and at the same time relieved knowing that he wouldn't need to use Sword fleet for the interception, for Reavus had responded. "Don't worry Hacket, we'll deal with those Reapers, you just focus on the Crucible. Bravo company, form up".

However as the Necris detachment was engaging the fleeing Reapers, one of the Necris Captains contacted Reavus; "Sir, we've spotted Harbinger, bearing 187 at the front of those Reapers". Reavus saw Harbinger and his anger went sky high, his power went to maximum, his eyes burned with pure rage at his most hated adversary.

He hit a button on his communication console so that he could broadcast on ALL frequencies, hoping Harbinger would hear him. He shouted out "HARBINGER! THIS. ENDS. NOW." Reavus diverted all power to his fighter's engines and made a beeline for the Reaper flagship, ignoring all other Reapers along the way.

Note: end of the beam rush sequence now

Shepard was all alone now with only a few other members of Hammer team behind him and had Harbinger taking pot-shots at them. They couldn't rely on any support from Scythe as they were pinned down by two Reaper capital ships that got past the Necris fleet. Shepard continued to run hearing the screaming of Hammer team behind him when a tank that he was running past was hit by one of Harbingers beams, causing it to explode and knocking Shepard over.

The Commander looked up at Harbinger and saw one of his lasers coming straight for him. He braced himself for the pain he was about to go through and that he might die here and now.

Just at the last second before Harbingers beam hit Shepard, he heard a deafening *CRACK* of an explosion, throwing the laser off course. He looked up to see a perfectly formed hole straight through the Reaper. He turned around and saw a very familiar black organid fighter speeding in towards them and Shepard also heard a very pissed off voice over his radio. "Not today you fungle rim-job" Reavus said as he continued to unleash a hail of swarm missiles on Harbinger.

He completed his first run but Harbinger was still standing, so he turned his fighter to circle around for another attack when he saw Shepard and Anderson, he shouted "Guys, we are out of time. GET TO THE FUCKING CONDUIT". They ran for the beam while Reavus gave CABAL the order to drop all his remaining Nova bombs on the Reaper, and with that he ejected from his fighter.

He unfolded his wings, went full power and channelled it into his sword. Reavus flew for Harbinger and stuck his now flaming sword of pure biotic power at the bottom of the main body of the Reaper. "My favourite part of any game" Reavus said as he dragged his sword up the body of Harbinger leaving a burned out crevice in his wake. He reached the top of Harbinger and jumped of so that he was floating far enough to watch the scenery of his 500000 year awaited victory.

He uttered "Sudden Death" and with that he flew for the beam, wanting to help Shepard, while his fighter which was piloted by CABAL dropped its entire remaining payload of Nova bombs on Harbinger who was collapsing from the fight. Reavus reached the beam about the same time the bombs detonated. All four bombs left nothing in their wake. Harbinger, the conduit and the entire field around the beam was a smouldering crater, bringing a roar of cheers from the remainders of Hammer and Scythe teams.

Shepard came out of the teleporter and hit the ground with a hard thud, but was awoken by Admiral Anderson. Shepard got up and replied "Anderson, you up here too". Anderson replied "I followed you up, but we didn't come out at the same place. At least I don't think we did". They were interrupted on the radio by non other than Reavus, " *groan*. I'm gonna feel that one tomorrow".

Shepard immediately responded to his surprise, "Reavus, what are you doing up here? Are you close?" While Shepard and Anderson continued to move deeper into the station they got their reply, "Nope, nowhere near close. I figured you guys might need a hand up here so I came through after I dealt with Harbinger. Although I think the resulting explosion through the Conduit off course. I'm on the other end of the Citadel, and my scanner reads you two at the base of the tower".

Anderson asked Reavus "How soon can you get to us?" Reavus looked up to the Citadel tower and responded "I'll get there as soon as I can, you guys just focus on finding a way to shut these bastards down". With that, Anderson and Shepard continued to follow their paths to the Citadel master control console but were impeded by the Illusive Man.

Note: This is now the choice sequence, Reavus catches up

Shepard was presented with an extremely difficult choice in order to end the Reaper threat. Reavus also overheard the entire conversation while he was making his way to Shepard. Shepard clenched his fists in anger at the catalyst and prepared to go and make his decision, however as he took one step there was an explosion behind him by the lift that he came up in.

The explosion had a very distinguishable blue/purple flash to it, "Reavus" Shepard said in surprise. Reavus looked at Shepard and the Catalyst and spoke, "Don't do it Shepard, don't throw away your life for this war. I'll handle this". The Commander frowned in confusion, "Why? Why would you want this choice. Didn't you just get your life back. Besides, I thought your people had no faith in the Crucible".

Reavus laughed at what Shepard said and replied "We don't, but this fight has to end now. Even though my people will win this fight eventually people are dying out there, yours and mine alike. And yes Shepard, I did get my life back. A life of pain and torment, for everywhere I look is a painful reminder of my failure to stop the Reapers ten cycles ago. Shepard, you still have your life, your friends, your family. You have everything to lose. What do I have; a militaristic race with no place left in this galaxy".

Reavus paused and sighed as he walked closer to Shepard and continued "Shepard, if ever there was any redemption left for my people and I, this is it. Please leave Shepard, go on with your life and let me put my ghosts behind me". Shepard put his hand on Reavus' shoulder and nodded, "Good luck friend".

He walked toward the Necris shuttle that landed behind them when Reavus said to Shepard "Besides, I'm an immortal self-sustaining energy being. If I die, so be it. If I live on, fine". With that, Shepard left in the shuttle while Reavus turned his attention to the choice to end the war.

"Destroy the Reapers and all synthetic life, even though the Geth have proven themselves to us. Or take control of the Reapers, the enemy of my people. Both of which destroy the Mass Relays which the galaxy relies on, and as much as Necris Organids don't need relays, the Organids are too powerful to give to the rest of the galaxy. Hah, talk about a kick in the balls".

Reavus looked over to the Catalyst standing next to him, "You know how pathetic it is how you go about destroying the galaxy every 50000 years because of your stupid ideals. Just look at my cycle, the Prothean cycle and this one. All three cycles had no chance in hell of organics going to war with synthetics and if they did, organics would have continued on. We built living ships to prove that point and still you assholes purged us".

The Catalyst looked at Reavus in silence. "Lets get this over with". Reavus walked over to the blue control panel and started charging his energy. The Catalyst appeared behind him and uttered "So now you will die for the race you fought so hard to destroy". Reavus stood there and laughed, "Is that what you think? Well you ain't getting rid of me that easily you dumbass".

Reavus turned to the panel and without touching it, shot energy out of his hands into the console, triggering the Crucible to fire. Reavus groaned in pain as he was dialing into the Reaper hive mind whilst trying not to be absorbed by the console. Reavus would have killed himself had he not had his self sustaining power and Shepard made it to the Normandy which was escaping with the rest of Sword fleet.

Reavus woke up right where he was and looked up to see the Necris armada on his right, and the Reaper fleet on his left. One Reaper capital ship approached Reavus on the Citadel and spoke "Reavus, the Reaper fleet awaits your command". Reavus only smiled as now he had control over the two most powerful forces in the galaxy.

Reavus and the Necris would later destroy the Reapers under Reavus' command once the Relays and the galaxy had been repaired and once they got all the information they needed out of the Reapers. Reavus and his kind found their place among the races of the galaxy. The Necris became the undisputed military force of the Milky Way and took up the mantle of Guardians of the galaxy, for anyone that threatens the people of the Milky Way shall answer to one force; Reavus and the Necris.

So that's that, my story is complete. The sequel is called 'Curse of Ultimate Power', where Reavus and his kind will face a new threat and some dark secrets of Reavus' past will come to light.

Anyway, R&R
