Disclaimer: I do not own any of the movies, books, animes, tv shows, music, etc.. that I may mention. All OC's belong to me.

Thanks everyone.

Miranda and Issac were standing in the hanger when I returned. "Good. I'm glad your both here." I said. I turned to Issac "I have a surprise for you." I said as I gestured towards the elevator and his eyes nearly bulged out of his head at the sight of Ellie.

Without a second thought he bound across the floor and picked her up in an embrace than he promptly kissed her with force.

Issac turned back to me "How? Was she a prisoner just like us?" He asked.

I shook my head "I brought her here. As I told you before I take care of those who serve me very well." I said. He looked puzzled so I explained to him the details on my finding her.

"I see..." He said as he seemed to drift off into thought.

"Listen.. I know I was sending you two out to look for survivors but I have a mission for you both first." I said smiling.

"What kind of mission?" Miranda asked.

"Follow me" I said as I turned back towards the elevator.

…..

"What the hell is this?" Issac asked as he started at the large mirror.

"It's a small gateway between dimensions. I thought of it up after studying the data of the technology from these aliens." I said.

Miranda looked slightly bored "So is this what you wanted us to do? Stare at a mirror?" She asked as she casually blew a strand of hair out her eyes.

I smiled "Not quite. I have a gift for each of you."

Both their faces seemed to lighten up. I smiled. The nanites were working perfectly in their bodies. Soon they would obey me without question yet still retain their sense of independence.

I walked over to the stand that held my gauntlet from earlier. On the stand was a case and inside the case was two gauntlets I had One specially make. They were very different from mine.

I opened the case causing Miranda and Issac to let out a small gasp as they caught sight of the gauntlets. I removed the one of the left first. It was Sliver with a blue spiral trim running the length of it.

"This is for you Miranda. Wait to put it on until I tell you." I said handing her the gauntlet.

I turned and handed the other gauntlet which was silver also but had a red spiral pattern on it instead. I instructed Issac to wait as well.

"Now the mission were about to go on might be a little tricky. That is why I decided to bestow upon you these gifts now. They will come in hand soon enough. Now why don't you put them on." I said.

They looked at each other. Each hesitating some. Than Miranda slid hers on first followed by Issac whose eyes were glued to Miranda's arm.

Nothing happened and they seemed surprised. "Nothings happening" Issac said.

I chuckled causing both to look at me "Of course not. They'll only work if you hit the hidden switch on the gauntlet."

Both stared down at the their gauntlet for a moment before they nodded. "So what are we supposed to do now?" Issac asked.

I smiled and touched my bracer. My armor instantly enveloped me caused both to stumble backwards in shock.

I chuckled causing the room to vibrate. "Do I scare you?" I asked menacingly.

Both nodded their heads and I chuckled again. "Come now.. You do not have to be afraid." I said. I turned towards the mirror and waved my hand and the mirror immediately changed and showed a space station orbiting a planet. I heard a gasp and saw a somewhat surprised expression on Miranda's face.

"I see from your reaction you know this place." I said.

She nodded "It's where they housed all the information regarding EDI's programming and creation. But why wou.." She paused as realization came over her. "I see.. You want to steal her programming so you can create your own version of EDI." She said.

I nodded.. Good she was smart.

"Since this is a Cerberus station.. Miranda you will go through first. Try not to draw attention to yourself. We will follow you." I said.

"Don't you think they would get suspicious of you two?" She asked.

I chuckled "Only if they see us." I said as I touched a button on my wrist and I immediately turned invisible.

She nodded and turned towards the mirror.

TIM sat in his chair drinking his beverage of the day going over some reports. He sighed more colonies disappeared and he had hoped Miranda would be done with Shepard by now.

Suddenly a light on his chair flashed. He turned and pressed the button. The screens in front of him flashed by before a single image stopped and zoomed in.

In the image was Miranda accessing a high security area. He was slightly puzzled. Why is she there when she's supposed to be working on the lazarus project.

His eyes widened in realization "Computer. Locate Operative Miranda Lawson." He said.

The images flashed by quickly and once again stopped on an image and showed the real Miranda Lawson to be in her office working on paperwork.

He quickly hit a button on his chair.

…..

Miranda had just finished hacking the door when alarms began to blare.

"Shit" She cursed as she quickly ducked inside and sealed the door. She went over the to the console that housed the data she was looking for. She placed her gauntlet on the console. After a moment several hundred nanite replicators began to ooze off her gauntlet and onto the console before disappearing inside of it.

She could hear banging followed by cutting tools as they began to burn through the door. After a minute the nanites returned to her gauntlet.

She turned towards the door as the cutting stopped and the door was blown opened.

Several teams of Cerberus guards armed to the teeth swarmed in.

"Whoever you are your under arrest" One of the Cerberus's guards said.

To their surprise she smiled as she touched her gauntlet.

There was a flash and they quickly shielded their eyes. When they looked back several took a few steps back as what they were looking at couldn't be real.

Miranda was covered head to toe in silver armor. The shoulder plates extended a good 12 inches off the shoulder. The individual plates were tailored to suit her mobility. The Helmet resembled the EVA helmet from Halo 3 but the face plate had two eye holes that flashed blue. The face plate also had the image of a skull smiling painted onto it.

As the men recovered and started to aim their guns again three of them were suddenly sliced in half from head to groin. They quickly trained the guns in the direction of their fallen comrades before another four were sliced in half at the waist.

Miranda reached out and ripped a chunk of the wall off and slammed it into two soldiers.

"Fall back" One yelled as they began scrambling out of the room. A few stayed and opened fire at Miranda. She simply stood her ground as the mass accelerated slugs merely bounced off her armor.

One guard in particular dropped his weapon in terror as Issac decloaked. The guard then attempted to run only to have Issac grab him by the head and proceed to slam his head into the bulkhead causing his head to quite literally and violently explode.

Issac's armor was similar to his old armor but was a little bulkier but lighter weighing only about 10 pounds. It was silver with a red dragon stretched across the entire length of the suit from the left foot to the helmet. On the helmet it had a dragons head opening and in the mouth was two eye slots which glowed red. In Issac's hand was a massive Scythe. He slammed the butt of it down on the ground causing a small shockwave sending a few of the remaining guards flying.

Miranda opened her palms and two hidden blades appeared. They were similar to Enzio's blade from Assassin's Creed. She dashed forward and quickly spun slicing two soldiers guns in half before spinning again and separating their heads from their bodies.

As the last soldier ran from the room screaming in terror I decloaked and chuckled. I turned my helmeted face upwards to stare at the security camera.

"Thanks for all info Timmy. I'll be seeing you soon." I said chuckling.

I waved my gauntlet and the portal appeared. Miranda stepped in followed by Issac. I glanced around one last time before stepping in myself.

TIM sat in his office seriously pissed off. Just who the hell were those people. As he tried to life his drink his hand was shaking slightly. He cursed before chucking the glass across the room.

…...

"This armor is amazing." Miranda said as the armor vanished and appeared as a sliver/blue bracer on her right arm.

"I agree.. the power that we weld is amazing." Issac said looking down at his silver/red bracer.

"These are my gift to you. I want my generals to be prepared. Each of those armor suits amplifies your own power. For you Miranda your Biotic's are amplified as well as your speed. For you Issac it was a bit trickier since your pretty much a normal human. But the armor increases your strength and speed." I said smiling as the two looked at their bracers like a kid in a candy store.

"Now you two may go about searching for survivors. I've already had the replicators start construction on temporary housing. It'll do for now but in the next few days once the replicators start returning from the mountain we can begin to build are grand capital city." I said as I turned heading for the door.

As I walked down the corridor I summoned one "Is the interface ready?"

"Yes my master." One said.

I smiled and continued on for another twenty minutes or so. I stopped in front of what appeared to be just a normal wall. I placed my gauntlet against the wall and it shimmered before vanishing. I had instructed One to design this area in secret. This was one area where I wanted my plans to go unnoticed even by my own Queen.

"I've got the packet with the information. Start working on it as soon as you can." I said as the replicators I had taken from Miranda oozed off my belt and joined their brethren.

"As you wish my master. The AI will be online within 18hrs if that is what you wish." One said.

"Make it 24 I don't want to rush this." I said as I headed back out. The wall appeared behind me and I headed back towards the elevator.

….

I ran into Alice when I stepped off the elevator "Hello sis." I said smiling. She nodded and grabbed my hand. "Yes?" I asked.

"I noticed you were gone brother." She said her eyes unflinching.

I smiled of course she would know that I had left for awhile. It's the bond from the vampire blood.

"Yes. I wanted to test out a few new pieces of equipment as well as gain some valuable technology." I said.

"I see.. I... I was worried about you. Your all that I have left David." She said. I saw a tear flow from her eye and I quickly brought a finger up and wiped it away.

"Don't cry sis. Nothings going to happen to me. In fact its those aliens that will have to worry. Once our empire is built well have revenge not just for our parents but for every human that they killed." I said my face showing resolve.

She nodded and pulled me into a hug. I embraced her back as well.

"Now let's start the day shall we. I better go wake up Jean." I said heading towards my room with Alice in tow.

"Ya know I remember when you used to never try to talk to women. Now your involved with a really hot chick. Your Emperor of the last of Humanity and your controlling probably one of the most dangerous things in existence. You sure are something bro." She said.

I chuckled "Alice you haven't seen nothing yet."
