This will be a massive crossover. Thanks

Tali made her way through the palace with a guard escorting her. She had changed into a dressed that oddly enough seemed to fit her figure perfectly. Even though she was given shoes she had elected not to wear them. She wanted to enjoy the feel of ground under her actual feet for the first time.

They came to a large double door and the guard quickly stepped in front of her. With a bow he opened the door and she was hit with various sounds of people laughing and talking.

She saw several hundred people gathered at the base of a great many stairs. At the top of the stairs was the man that had brought her here. Beside him was a very beautiful woman that she quickly guessed was his Empress. And off to the woman's side in two small sets of Thrones was two children. One with blond hair and blue eyes who looked to be a teenager in human terms. The other child had brownish blond hair with green eyes.

The guard escorting me stopped in front of the steps and dropped to his knee.

He waited for the Emperor to acknowledge him.

…

I was speaking with a store owner was was suggesting that we create more farms on other continents to increase the flow of crops. Since the initial two prototypes of my transports nearly twenty had been created to ship more people in. I had begun creating automated farms around the globe that was manned by the replicators. My Empire had grown now to nearly four thousand people and was steadily growing as more survivors were brought in.

I wasn't worried about running out of food or water. The new damn and aqueduct had been up and running for awhile now. I was greatly pleased at the progress of my Empire. I not only had my fellow Human's but the prison ship held many species from various dimensions.

I turned my attention to the base of the stairs where one of my guards was kneeling with Tali at his side.

"Speak" I said.

"I have brought her as you asked my lord." He said not looking up.

"Thank you, you have done well" I said. He nodded and got up. He bowed before he turned and left.

I turned my attention to Tali "You can come closer my dear." I said.

She nodded and made her way up the steps before coming to a stop in front of me. She glanced at the Empress who was staring at her with a very pissed off look on her face.

I also noticed Jean's reaction "Something wrong my dear?" I asked.

"She does not bow before you my husband, She needs to know here place." Jean growled.

To her surprise I started laughing causing Tali to jump slightly.

"WHAT is so funny husband?" Jean asked glaring daggers at me.

I calmed down and sighed "She's new to the Empire my love, we can't expect every person to know now do we?" I asked.

She didn't say anything but silently fumed. I realized what the problem was. I leaned in close and pulled her to me.

"Do not be jealous Jean, you were here first and you shall remain my Empress. You don't have to fear that. I promise you." I said trying to reassure her of her place.

She glared at me for a moment before her eyes cast down. A moment later she looked back up at me and her expression had changed.

"You have no idea what that means to me." She said. She smiled a faint smile before sitting back into her throne.

I turned my attention back to Tali "I see your enjoying the new life I have given you." I said smiling under my mask.

She nodded "Yes, You are too kind." She said bowing slightly.

Jean smirked "She's a step in the right direction, I will train her on the arts of how to be proper."

Tali cast a glance at Jean than back up at me. "What is it that you would have me do now my Emperor." She asked.

I smiled "For now I'll have someone help you find a room in the palace to stay. I will rely on you much in the coming months when I have to deal with the Migrant Fleet, for now however I want you to get adjusted to being out of that suit and see what wonders that I have to offer. Once your finished settling in report back to me and I will have something for you to do."

She nodded and stepped back as another figure stepped up beside her.

"I will show her to her room my Emperor." Aria T'Loak said bowing before me.

She raised her head back up and you could see the scar running down the side of her cheek and you would also notice the blue eye on her right side. The Aliens had did some very sadistic experiments on her. Even to the point of cutting off one of her arms and surgically reattaching it. When we had begun freeing prisoners Aria was among the ones we found. She hesitated at first but thanks to my nanites she soon came to serve me willingly. Her knowledge of the Terminus systems would be vital in the coming campaign.

I had set 'One' to brainstorm on a way to take care of the reapers. While I was positive that my collectors could assimilate the ship I on the other hand, was worried about indoctrination. Not for me but for my subjects.

After Aria hand left with Tali in tow I sighed and leaned back in my throne.

"What troubles you husband?" Jean said.

"It disturbs me that the aliens possessed so much technology from various dimensions, yet they didn't use half of the technology they acquired." I said as I placed my hand on my helmet to brood.

One instance is while going through the hanger of the ship, we discovered the stargate that now stood outside the palace just waiting to be used. And it would be used soon too. As soon as I acquired the technology from the stargate universe that the ancients had. I would be next to unstoppable.

I smiled at this and Jean noticed.

"Are you thinking naughty thoughts husband?" She asked smiling at me.

I chuckled and whispered "later dear."

I stood up and told her I was going to check on the progress of my replicators in the mass effect universe. She nodded and stood to take the girls out for a stroll. I watched as nearly a dozen bodyguards flanked them on their way out of the palace.

I brought my wrist up and pressed a shiny new button that I had installed in the last few days and with a beam of white light I teleported to the lab that I had set up deep underneath the palace. I appeared behind the individual that was responsible for my new toy.

"If you don't quit that, I'll leave and you'll have no one to create your toys." Washu said crossing her arms over her chest and sticking her nose up in the air. Her spiky pink hair hung down past her waist as usual.

It had been an total surprise when I found Washu locked in a cell. She had not had food or water in several days and been beaten savagely. She was on the verge of death. As she recovered I had injected my nanites into her. If Washu had been her normal self there would have been no way I could have gotten that close to her. By the time she recovered enough to sit up on her own my nanites had full control and she obeyed me without question.

I still have yet to figure out how they managed to capture her in the first place. And she wouldn't talk about it even with my nanites in her system.

I smiled "Come now Washu, your not really mad at me are you?" I asked stepping up behind her.

She at my request, stayed in her adult form. It was just easier for me to get used to as well as those around the palace.

She chuckled as she typed away at her keyboard.

She glanced over her shoulder at me. "What brings you down here my Emperor?" She asked.

I smiled "I'm sending a team through the portal to gather some data and technology. In fact its where I gave you the specs for this device." I said indicating the transporter device on my wrist.

"And you want me to go with them I take it?" She asked turning around to face me. Her keyboard vanished.

I nodded "I'm also sending a tech expert with you as well as two of my horsemen to accompany you."

She tossed her head to the side "It sounds almost like your concerned for me." She said smirking and giving me a suggestive gesture.

I chuckled "You know where I stand on that issue."

She sighed and turned back to her work bench. Her keyboard reappeared. "You know you'll eventually get bored of her. I can wait." She said as she resumed her work.

"I highly doubt that." I said.

"Just send for me when your ready for me my Emperor." She said casting a glance over her shoulder.

I nodded and teleported to the portal chamber.

I waved my hand over the portal and stepped through to be greeted by a hug from Alice. Kurumu quickly dropped to a knee before me.

"All is as you commanded my Emperor" She said.

I smiled "Excellent, you both have done well."

I began to walk past Kurumu who quickly got to her feet and followed. Alice at my side as always.

"where are the prisoners?" I asked.

"Were holding them in the cargo bay, but..." Alice let it hang. I stopped in my tracks and glanced at her "But What?" I asked.

She looked hesitant so I rested a hand on her shoulder to calm her nerves "What is it Alice, I won't be mad" I told her.

"Well Kurumu and I, well we got bored and accidentally spaced two of the crew members." She said biting her bottom lip.

I sighed "Which ones?"

"The wanna be rapper guy and the creepy looking guy with the weird eye and scar on his face." Kurumu said.

I glanced at her and started laughing. Alice seeing this as a sign that I was fine with it let out a breath and joined in the laughter.

"They were no use to me anyways. Come sister, let's show the crew their new Emperor." I said walking off.

It was then that I remembered something. I turned to Alice "What of EDI?" I asked. The AI was probably the only one that might give me some kind of trouble.

"Right now she's currently occupied fighting the replicators. But its is only a matter of time before they infiltrate her core and take over her systems." Alice said.

I nodded and stepped through the door that opened out in the hanger.

All heads turned to me as I entered the hanger. Joker sat strapped to a chair and simply glared at me. I glanced around and to my delight I saw Kasumi tied and gagged in a corner.

"Bring Kasumi here Alice." I said smiling. My sister nodded and walked over to the thief.

Kasumi tried to scamper away but Alice grabbed her with one hand and slung her over her shoulder. She marched back to me and tossed the thief unceremoniously onto the floor.

"Now Now my dear Kasumi, trying to run away won't do you any good." I said smiling.

Kasumi cursed something and tried to run away again. Alice grabbed her and slammed her down hard on her ass causing the thief to curse loudly.

I held my hand out and the small needles appeared. Kasumi's eyes widened and she tried to turn but Alice grabbed her shoulders and held her firmly in place as I clamped a hand over her shoulder. She cried out in pain as the needles pierced her skin.

I pulled back and Kasumi fell over onto the floor unconscious. "You son of a bitch what did you do to her?" Garrus yelled from amongst the group.

I shook my finger at him "Your time will come soon enough, for now though were is that Krogan?" I asked looking around.

It was then that I noticed he wasn't anywhere in the room. I rounded on Alice "I thought you said everyone was here?" I growled.

Alice flinched visibly before quickly dropping to a knee "I'm sorry brother, I thought we had captured everyone." She said.

I was about to reply when the familiar Krogan yell caught my ears and I turned to see Grunt Charging me.

"I Am KROGAN!" He yelled slamming into me.

What he got however caused him to stop in his tracks as I didn't flinch at all. He gazed up at me. I smiled down at him "Nighty Night" I said bringing an elbow down hard. He fell to the ground with a sickening crunch.

As he lay there unconscious Alice came over to me "I am truly sorry brother." She said head dropping towards the floor.

"It is quite alright sister, I have something for you and Kurumu by the way." I said grabbing her hand. I took something out of a pouch on my armor and attached it to her wrist.

"This will allow you to inject the nanites without having to wait on me. I had Washu create the delivery system personally." I said as I attached another to Kurumu's wrist as well.

Both women bowed before me. "What's next brother?" Alice asked as she stood back up.

I glanced over the small crowd of Cerberus lackey's and turned to the two women.

"Let's go for a stroll shall we." I said walking past them. I came to a stop as Kasumi had now regained consciousness and was on her knees before me.

"How may I serve my Emperor?" She said without hesitation.

I smiled and placed an arm around her shoulder. I walked her a few feet away from her former crew and turned her to face me.

"I'm sending you on a special mission my dear, now I want you to tell me every hidden access points on the citadel." I said smiling.

She nodded and began to explain to me. Little did she know of what my plans were for the mighty space station.

….

I walked through the former Broker's base, after much deliberation I decided to change the name to 'Alera' I'm not sure where I got the name from but it sounded cool so I stuck with it.

I stepped through the large double doors with Alice and Kurumu in tow. Liara was working at some consoles when she saw me. She quickly ran over to me and dropped to a knee. "My Emperor, for what do I owe the honor of your presence here?" She asked.

"Careful." Alice growled. Liara looked up at her with confused eyes. "I'm sorry, but did I say something wrong?" She asked.

"You act as though this is your home?" Kurumu answered.

Liara's eyes widened and she kowtowed quickly begging forgiveness. I chuckled and grabbed the Asari by the arm and lifted her up to her feet.

"Now, what do you have for me?" I said as I stepped past her heading for the console.

She quickly caught up with me and began typing away at the console. After a few moments a display popped up showing several planets.

"These are rich in various metals my Emperor. With them you will surely have enough resources to begin building your fleet." Liara said bowing.

I smiled. Indeed I shall.

I turned to Liara "You have done well, continue gathering data on other planets. I also want you to get me intel on the daily habits of the Turian counselor." I said.

She nodded without question. I turned and headed back towards the doors.

I yawned slightly causing Alice and Kurumu to give me a look.

"Are you tired brother?" Alice asked.

I nodded. "I think I'll retire to one of the rooms here for the day."

"Emperor, most of the reconstruction is completed. Do you want to stay in the newly built Emperors quarters." Liara asked as she joined our little group. Alice looked annoyed at the blue woman's presence as did Kurumu.

"Sure, lead the way." I said.

After walking for several minutes we came to a door and stopped. Liara pressed several keys and the doors opened to reveal an extremely large bedroom.

The floors were polished giving them a reflective look. I glanced at the various gold and silver trinkets that dotted to room. The bed was enormous. It was big enough for four people to sleep in without problems. Though the biggest surprise was on the far wall was a window that looked out over to the raging storms of this planet.

As I stepped into the room I pressed my wrist and my armor vanished once again appearing as a bracer on my arm.

Liara gasped as she saw me truly for the first time. I glanced at her and she smiled.

"You are truly an awesome sight my Emperor." She said as her cheeks flushed a dark blue.

"Thank you Liara." I said. I turned to the Alice and Kurumu. "Find Issac and Miranda. Let them know that once the takeover the Normandy is completed and the upgrades installed they'll set course for the Citadel." I said stepped up to a dresser.

I pulled open the dresser draw to reveal various pajamas. Alice and Kurumu nodded and turned to head out when they noticed that Liara wasn't moving.

"Are you coming?" Alice growled. Liara looked from me to her with an uncertainty.

"Forgive me Emperor. But, If you would have me. I offer myself to you for the night." She said quickly shedding her outfit and standing before me in the nude.

I glanced at Alice who was boiling with rage along with Kurumu. "You dare offer yourself to my brother... his tastes are far above you." Alice yelled causing Liara to jump slightly.

Alice started towards Liara and the startled Asari quickly scooped up her clothes and backed towards one of the walls.

"Stop!" I said causing Alice to freeze in place. "Brother?" She asked.

I made my away over to Liara who was shaking slightly.

I placed my hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. "Liara your a beautiful woman and any man would be honored to share themselves with you. I would also but I cannot and I am sorry." I said.

She looked towards the floor and nodded. I stepped back so she could get dressed and turned to Alice.

"I'm going to bed now, Inform Jean that I'll return tomorrow." I said heading for the bathroom to take a shower.
