Disclaimer: I do not own any of the movies, games, tv shows, etc.. that I mention in this story. They belong to their rightful owners. All OC's are mine however.
This will be a massive crossover. Thanks everyone.
TIM sighed as he took a drag of his cigarette. He was slightly on edge. Something that was uncommon for him and it was starting to make his people worry.
In the back of his mind the words that the mysterious black armored figure spoke was slowly eating at him and it was driving him insane.
He heard footsteps and jerked slightly as one of his assistants came out of the shadows carrying some OSD's. He let out a breath that he didn't realize he had been holding.
"Sir, Are you ok?" The young woman asked.
He glanced at her and realized that we was sweating. "Yes, I've just been frustrated lately with the whole Shepard thing." TIM said.
"I'm not surprised Sir, With him destroying the Collectors and stealing a ship that is rightfully Cerberus's property." She said as she gave him a soft smile.
He nodded "True, And thank you for the OSD's."
"My plea..." She was cut off as a blade of metal burst through her chest. She looked down at the blade as her arms slowly came up towards it when her head jerked back as another blade burst from her throat.
TIM jumped out of his chair and in one quick motion hit a button on his chair causing a pistol to pop out. He quickly grabbed it and aimed towards the woman but stopped when he saw the woman on the floor.
He knelt down and checked her pulse. She was dead and he quickly scanned the room.
"Whoever you are come out, I'll make your death painful." He said as he tried to pierce the shadows. He made his way towards the chair in hopes of hitting the alarm.
As he reached for the arm of the chair he heard a noise and barely managed to dodge in time as a metal whip wrapped around the arm of the chair. It jerked and ripped the arm to shreds. He jerked and fired his pistol in the direction that the whip had retreated towards. To his surprise he heard laughter.
"That will do nothing against me fool." A woman's voice said.
"Who are you? If someone's paying you, I can double it." He said trying to pin the location of the voice down.
"Pay?" She let out a great bellow of laughter "I don't do this for money, I do this because it is my Emperors wish." She said laughing.
TIM froze and she caught it "Ah, I see you remember." She said.
As he started to move there was a noise and he quickly aimed his pistol in the direction of it but he gasped as the whip cut his pistol in half. He turned to run for the door when something hit him from behind and he slammed to the floor knocking the wind out of him.
He tried to get up but something knocked him back to the ground. He felt a foot pressing into his back.
He was jerked violently as his attack flipped him onto his back. He stared upwards at a woman with a very revealing outfit and a cloth covering half her face. She laughed and straddled his waist.
"My My, you sure weren't much of a fight." Mileena said chuckling.
"Let me go, If you do I can give you anything you want." He said desperately trying to get free.
She threw her head back and laughed "You cannot give me what my master already has, He is my salvation and he will bring a force upon this universe that will make the heavens weep."
"You cannot possibly hope to conquer every race in this galaxy." He said. He looked to his side and saw a pistol sticking out from the hip of the dead assistant.
"I think I have played with my food long enough." She said. He glanced back up at her as she removed her veil and his blood ran cold as a feeling of pure terror gripped him.
"Ah, I see you like my face. Don't worry, I'll just give you a little kiss." She said opening her mouth wide and leaning towards his face.
A million things ran through his mind. But the one thing that kept coming to the forefront of his mind was the death that awaited him.
Just as Mileena was about to bite his head off she was jerked backwards by her hair.
"What the?" She wiped her head and her blood ran cold.
I smiled down at her as I held a lock of her hair.
"Master, Why did you stop me? I was obeying your orders." She pleaded as a few tears welled up in her yellow eyes.
I smiled "You've done well my pet and you shall be rewarded." I said letting her hair go.
She smiled and bowed her head slightly "Master, Why are you here?" She asked as she kept her head bowed.
I smiled as I looked towards TIM who was crawling towards the dead woman. I saw the pistol sticking out from the dead woman.
"I'm afraid that will do you no good Timmy." I said making my way over towards him. He froze as he saw me approaching. He glanced at me than the pistol. He quickly dove for the pistol and pulled it out before quickly firing a shot at me.
I smiled as the shot merely bounced off of my armor. I reached down and grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up several feet off the ground.
"I wanted to see if you would do my tasks without hesitation, I thank you Mileena." I said glancing back at the woman.
She bowed deeply "My Emperor is the most kindest." She said stepping back into the shadows.
I turned towards TIM "Now, While killing you might do the rest of the galaxy good it help me at all." I said.
"What are you talking about?" He gasped as he clawed at my armor.
I held up my hand and jammed my empty hand into his mouth. He started to gag as he felt the nanites from my armor slid down his throat. I let go and he dropped to the ground.
I watched as his body convulsed and twisted. Finally it came to a stop and he simply stared up at the ceiling unblinking. I knelt down next to him and grabbed his face forcing him to look at me.
"Like I said, Killing you would benefit the rest of the galaxy but not me. From this moment on you work for me." I said letting go of his face and standing back up.
He slowly sat up and quickly got onto his knees. "I.. Argh.." He cried as he tried to fight the nanites control.
"Your resistance is futile." I said. I smirked inwardly as I thought of the borg from star trek.
He gasped as his body fell forward and he his head touched the floor as he kowtowed before me. "I.. I serve my Emperor." He said gasping.
I smiled "Soon you won't feel so much pain once the nanites take full control."
He gasped as he looked up at me. I smiled down at him and extended a hand "Welcome to the Empire Jack Harper."
…...
Four shadow guards were patrolling the corridor when they heard a noise and quickly turned as a large glowing portal opened before them.
"What the hell is that?" One asked. All four raised their weapons at it.
A metal spike flew from the portal piercing ones guards helmet and he quickly dropped to the floor dead. The other three turned the weapons back towards the portal but to their horror they saw four individuals standing before them. All looked like something out of a horror movie.
"I'm thankful that you placed us in a corridor and not on the outside in this storm." Kurumu said looking around before her gaze fell on the three terrified guards.
Miranda scoffed "Don't be an ass, At least I know how to work the thing." She said.
Kurumu turned towards the Biotic "At least I'm not a slut, All you do is grovel at the Emperors feet hoping that once he's spent his evening with Jean hell crawl into your bed." The young Succubus said.
Miranda growled and her blades sprang out. "You watch your tongue." She said.
The two women glared at each other. Alice had enough of it. "ENOUGH!" She yelled causing both women to jump slightly and look at her.
"I'm the one in charge here, Don't forget it." She growled.
Both women shot a glare once more at each other before turning back to her and nodding.
Alice turned towards the three guards just as an alarm rang out through the ship. "Well, It seems our arrival is old news now." Issac said.
Alice took a step towards the three guards and they fired a shot at her. She quickly ignited her lightsaber and blocked the shots. She smiled and given the fact of the purple glow of the lightsaber making her smile look ever the more sinister the guards turned to run. Issac dashed forward and with a swipe cut the three in half.
"Let's go pay the big man a visit shall we." Alice said stepping over the upper half of a guard.
The others nodded. Kurumu activated her armor. Their was a flash and once it dissipated She was covered nearly head to toe with silver colored armor. Her bat like wings were now metal similar to Archangels from the X-men series. Her head was covered with a helmet that resembled the Aegis helmet but had to slanted slots that glowed purple.
They came to a stop as nearly a dozen guards poured into the corridor. Kurumu stepped past Alice and jerked her arm upwards causing several dozen spikes to fly from her wing and impale themselves into the guards head.
They stepped over the bodies and continued. After what seemed like an hour they stepped through a door and looked around. Tied to a chair in a room was some sort of alien.
"Whoever you are... you have to help me." He gasped.
Alice glanced at him before turning and heading out into another corridor. Alice was slightly uneasy. This was a cakewalk and she felt that something wasn't quite right. Where were the rest of the guards?
They stepped through a rather large door and her question was quickly answered as nearly four dozen guards surrounded a rather large alien in the center of the room. It could only be the shadow broker.
"Well, I think you four have come far enough." He smiled "Now, Tell me who you are and who sent you?" He said as his guards gripped their guns tighter.
Alice smiled as she activated her lightsaber "We are the four horsemen and our Emperor sent us." She said dashing forward and sliced a guard in half.
The guards opened fire but she quickly dodged and sliced a guards head off before turning and cutting another in half at the waist.
Issac dashed forward and impaled two guards with the spike end of of his Scythe. He jerked it out and swung in an ark killing four guards before he dashed towards another two.
Miranda threw a warp at one while stabbing another through the head with her blades. She jumped back as a grenade was chucked in her direction. She fired a pull at the soldier who threw it at her. As he was jerked towards her she spun and sliced him in half with her blades. She smiled and dashed towards another two.
Kurumu rolled as a grenade was thrown at her. She quickly wrapped her wings around her as the grenade went off. Thanks to her armor she was unharmed. She jerked her arm towards the guards and impaled four of them. She dashed towards another as he claws extended and she gripped his head and spun snapping his neck. She picked him up and threw him at two others. They were hit by the flying body of their comrade. As they tried to get up Kurumu spun and killed them instantly with the sharpened edge of her wings.
The Shadow Broker growled in frustration as looked around. Nearly all of his guards were dead. He heard a noise and turned back forward as a figure landed in front of him.
"You seem to enjoy sending other people to do your dirty work." Alice said igniting her lightsaber.
To her surprise the Broker smiled. With a roar he jumped upwards knocking the table towards her. She barely managed to dodge it in time as it hit the wall and exploded in thousands of splinters.
She turned back towards the Broker who was holding a rather impressive energy shield and carrying an AR with the other hand.
"You won't get through this shield as easy as you did my guards." He roared charging her.
She rolled out of the way as she quickly spun swinging her lightsaber. To her surprise the Broker blocked it. With a grunt he pushed forwards causing her to jump to the side and he fired his AR at her. She dashed again and quickly made a swipe towards his back. He spun blocking the saber just in time.
"For someone as large as you, you sure are fast." She grunted as she pressed her saber against his shield.
He chuckled "I take that as a compliment, But you do realize that you'll never be able to defeat me right?"
Alice smiled causing him to frown "For someone who thought they were invincible you've forgotten a basic rule of battle." She said.
He frowned even more "And what's that?" He asked.
She stepped back and he stared at her "You always keep your eyes open." She said. His eyes widened in shock and he let out a howl of pain as Issac's Scythe buried itself into his midsection. His shield vanished and Alice swung her lightsaber cutting his arm off that held the AR. With a grunt Issac jerked the Scythe free effectively cutting the Broker in half.
Alice deactivated her lightsaber and attached it to her hip. She casually walked over to the Broker and knelt down. "You put up a good fight. But you were stupid and it cost you." She said getting back to her feet. The Broker only gargled in response as his form quickly stilled.
"You four have done well." I said causing the them to spin towards me.
After the initial shock of seeing me they quickly dropped to one knee before me.
"Brother, We have done as you asked." Alice said getting to her feet.
I smiled "I am most pleased dear sister."
I walked past them and placed my hand on the console. Thousands of nanites flowed from my hand and into the console. I glanced back at them "I trust your fight wasn't too difficult?" I asked.
"Hardly, These incompetent fools were not match." Kurumu said her armor vanishing and a silver bracer with purple strips gleamed on her arm.
"Is Feron still alive?" I asked as I gazed over the consoles.
"The alien? Yes my Emperor." Miranda said. I glanced at her "Throw him out the airlock." I said turning back to the console.
Miranda nodded and turned heading out the door with Issac in tow. Alice watched them leave before heading over to stand by me.
"Yes?" I asked without looking from the console.
"Now that the Broker is dead, What are we going to do with this place?" She said gesturing around.
My helmet opened and slid away from my face. I turned to smile at my sister. "We will use it as a secondary base, for now however I'll send some replicators to begin rebuilding the ship to meet my specifications." I said.
"A second base? Is that wise at the moment?" She asked. I smiled at my sisters concern.
"Do not fear those alien bastards, If they wanted to annihilate us they would have already attacked us. No, Their biding their time right now or their completely unaware of us. Either way it will work to our advantage." I said.
She nodded "I believe you brother, But what of the Reapers? It is nearly the time of their arrival." She said.
I smiled "While the Reapers are of some concern, I am not worried about them at the moment."
"Brother, You cannot possibly run the palace and this place at the same time. Who will watch over this place when your not here?" Alice asked.
I glanced around the room and saw Kurumu looking through a few folders. I turned back to look at Alice "I'll just have to find someone." I said.
A portal appeared behind us and we turned to see replicators pouring through the portal.
"I have sent six dozen replicators as you commanded" One said.
"Excellent, Thank you." I said.
"I will check for survivors with Kurumu." Alice said. I nodded. She started to turn away when a warning started flashing on the console.
"What is it?" She asked.
"There's a ship approaching, Let's see who it is" I said pressing a few buttons and a display popped up showing the SR-2 Normandy.
"Ah, Commander Shepard's here." I said smiling evilly.
Alice frowned "Surely this puts a damper in your plans brother?" She said.
I chuckled "Not at all sis." I pressed my com on the side of my head "Miranda, have you disposed of Feron yet?" I asked.
"We just stuck him in the airlock." She said.
"Bring him here, I want to give Commander Shepard a welcoming gift." I said.
"Yes my Emperor." She said switching off the com.
…...
Sarah Shepard made her way through the various corridors of the brokers ship. She wiped a strand of black hair out of her face. Her dark blue eyes cast glances here and there searching for their enemy. Beside her Miranda and Liara walked beside her.
"Somethings not right." Liara said glancing around. Miranda nodded her head in acknowledgment.
"Your right, But we need to press on." Shepard said as they came to a stop in front of a large double door.
She pressed her hand up against it and the door opened revealing a large spacious room with consoles dotting every corner. Near the far side was what resembled the back of a throne in her opinion.
She took a few steps into the room with the other two mimicking her. The door closed suddenly causing all three women to spin towards the door.
"Why so jumpy Commander Shepard?" I asked as the chair spun to reveal myself.
Shepard aimed her pistol at me with the other two women doing the same. "Who are you?" She asked.
I chuckled "I am your Emperor, and you shall serve me." I said with my eyes flashing.
Miranda smirked "While you look tough with all that armor, there's one of you and three of us."
I smiled "In that case."
The door to the spare room opened and all four of the horsemen walked in without their armor engaged.
Miranda was shocked at seeing a identical version of herself. The horsemen came to stand beside me.
My Miranda winked at the other Miranda causing her to gasp in shock. Shepard looked at both than turned to me "What the hell kind game are you playing?" She asked.
"I tell you what Shepard, How bout a little catfight." I said. I nodded to the three women and they stepped forward activating their armor in the process. Liara and Miranda gasped but quickly composed themselves.
Miranda came to a stop in front of her doppelganger. "I hope your ready for some pain." My Miranda said as her blades sprang out.
Kurumu came to a stop in front of Liara as her claws extended "I've never seen what your kinds blood looks like, I guess today I will" She said chuckling evilly.
Alice stopped infront of Shepard and ignited her lightsaber. She pulled the lightsaber up towards her face in a gesture of respect "I've heard my brother tale me many stories of your adventures Commander Shepard, We shall see if they are indeed true." She said.
"Let the battle begin." I said.
A/N: Sort of a cliffhanger ya know, But the battle between Shepard and the Empires elites will happen next chapter so stay tuned.
