Chapter one: Back Home

Laying on what felt like a hospital bed, I could hear two distinct voices in the background. One was female while the other was male. It sounded like they were arguing about something, but I couldn't be sure what about. I sat up slowly, with my hand on my head and groaned a bit before I opened my eyes, which was a huge mistake, as I was assaulted by the light of where ever I was. It took longer than normal for me to get used to the light for some strange reason, but when I did, I was was greeted with two people staring at me oddly. "Captain, I think he's waking up." the unknown female said, who happens to look like a doctor. "Where am I...?" I asked slowly as I looked around 'I must be in a medical bay of some sort or something' I thought to myself. This doctor and I stared at each other for a few minutes before a figure came through the med bay doors.

My jaw dropped at what I was seeing, my very own father was here, standing in front of me with a look of relief. "Dad?!" I questioned. "Is that really you...? Where am I?" "There is much that we need to talk about, though we won't be able to cover it all in just one day. You can ask a few questions now if you want." he said in a stern tone. I just looked at him for a few moments before asking "Okay, I do have a few questions, first; how in the hell do I have biotics?" My father just looked at me with a surprised look. "Yeah, I know about biotics. Second, where am I? And if I'm where I think I am, how did I get here?" He stood there, thinking about his response as I sat there for a few minutes. When he replied, he spoke a little slowly to be sure I understood "First, you got them from me, on that topic, using your biotics without an amp is dangerous to you. So no using them for at least 24 hours." Now it was my turn to be shocked. "You're a biotic too? How come you never used them around the family?" I asked incredulously. He continued, "Second, as for where you are, this is my ship, the MSV Guardian. To the average captain, she appears to be a standard cargo ship, but she's armed and armored like a heave frigate. Son, you were also born on this ship." The surprise evident in my voice "What?! I was born on a ship?" I asked as my father chuckled and replied "Yes, you're a spacer." I sat back down, taking in what I had heard so far. "What's the answer to my third question?" I asked. "For that, you will need to follow me to the bridge." he answered and with a smirk I asked "Why, are you going to show me a Mass Relay?" We both just laughed while we made our way to the bridge of the ship. "Oh, before I forget, here is your Omni." he said as he handed me an Omni-Tool. I just looked at it, thinking 'How do I use this?'. My father, Captain Scott Storm, noticed my evident confusion "What's wrong?" he asked. "I... I'm unsure how to use an omni-tool." I answered with a slight smile. He smiled, taking the small implant hovering just above my left wrist and said "This stings a bit." where he placed the Omni-Tool in contact with my skin and what amazed me was that it burrowed under my skin. Once it finished tuning to my body, the tool came to life with the fabled orange glow. Pointing to a nearby person the captain spoke "Lieutenant, show Jeromy how to don his combat gear."

I followed the Lt. to what I could only guess to be the ships armory on the same deck as the bridge. As soon as we entered the room, I immediately noticed and recognized a few of the guns: the Avenger, Lancer, Katana, Predator, Carnifex and some others I couldn't recall the names of. Then the Lt. pulled my armor out and said "Your father got this especially for you, it's a prototype so treat it well." I looked at it for a few moments, seeing an all black template with a few red lights here and there. What caught my attention were the things that protruded from the wrist pieces of the armor. The Lt. followed my gaze and chuckled "Those are the prototype plasma repeaters." he said. It took about ten minutes to get familiar with and don my armor. The Lt. said I could have some weapons as well 'Who am I to say no to that?' I thought to myself. I walked up to the guns and grabbed a Lancer, Carnifex and a Katana. After I had gotten them, I put them in the respective places on my armor. I was about half way to the bridge where my father was, then the ship completed a relay transit.

All of a sudden, the alarms went crazy and everyone scrambled to their stations. "Oh my God, that's impossible!" the helmsman said. As I approached, I asked "What's happening?"

"Not sure, the sensors just went crazy." the pilot replied. I moved over to the sensors station and noticed something terrible. "Pilot, what does the LADAR say about the unknowns?" I asked. The only response I got was a loud round of gasps from the pilots, which after a few moments Scott asked "Well, who are they?"

"Sir, the LADAR paints their silhouette as Geth." the pilot responded. "Sir, we have three Geth frigates on intercept trajectory with us." the co-pilot quickly added.

"Go to red alert and get this ship to combat readiness." ordered the captain. He then turned to me and said while dragging me along. "I need you to get off this ship... Now!" As he talked, the ship was being rocked from the enemy weapon fire. "No way in hell, I am not leaving now." I said as I helped a crew member up off the floor. "Jeromy, your destiny isn't here... not anymore." my father said. "Helm, set a course to the nearest habitable world at best possible speed."

"Copy that sir, course laid in for..." before he could finish his sentence one of the navigation panels exploded, killing the officer. I felt the gravity give way and noticed that my father was using his biotics on me, throwing me unceremoniously into what appeared to be a life pod. "DAD! What are you doing?! Don't make me go, I can help!" I screamed through the pod's door.

"Sorry son, it's now your duty to keep this galaxy safe... I have faith in you to do this. Something dark is going to happen soon." He said with tears streaming down his face.

The pod then launched from the ship, my home. As I looked out the view port, I saw the battle taking place between the Geth and the Guardian and just like that, the ship was destroyed, along with everyone on board. 'Thank the gods they didn't take notice of me in this tiny thing...' I thought to myself. Without anything to do I just sat there and played around with my Omni that my father had given to me, to see what I could do in terms of games and combat, since I can't use my biotics for twenty-four hours. After playing with it for about 45 minutes or so, I found a lot of useful things, like creds, tech abilities and blueprints of the tech and armor that I'm wearing. All of a sudden, the pod's alarms go crazy, saying that we have arrived to our preset location. "Oh great, how do I land this thing without making a new crater on the planet." I said aloud, to no avail I sat in the only seat available and strapped myself in. Quickly tapping my Omni's music selection and keying in Indestructible by Disturbed. "Come on planet!" I screamed in excitement. "the Master Chief ain't got nothing on me!" I continued as the ground approached.

A Viewer's POV

'It looks like it will be a nice day out.' I thought to myself, walking towards the agricultural tech that needs my attention. Glenn told me last night that one of them needed to be fixed, something about an animal "screwing" with it. "Hey, Kuri, you forgot some of your other tools." Glenn laughed.

"Keelah! I am so sorry Mister O'Brien." I said, hurrying to get them. He just smiled and handed me the tools I needed to fix the agricultural tech before he headed off to do other important things. Just then, I heard a loud booming sound come from the sky. Looking up, I saw a bright streak heading straight for Glenn's fields, I heard Glenn screaming to get to cover but I noticed that it wouldn't impact anywhere near us. Then, without any warning, the object collided with the ground causing a loud crash. "Kuri! Check for survivors." Glenn yelled "But be careful!" I made my way to what looked like a life pod with the words 'MSV Guardian.' 'Keelah, I hope whoever is in there is okay...' I thought as I made my way to the pod's door. I was not prepared for what I saw: A Human male in some sort of black armor slumped in his seat, not moving. "There is one person in here!" I yelled back to Glenn.

"Can you get to him?" he asked as he approached me.

"I'll give it a try." I said as I took a look at the door of the pod, at the same time as I keyed into my Omni-Tool to hack the lock. After a few moments, I got the door open and moved to check to see if the occupant was at least still alive. I used my tool to scan for his vitals 'Thank the Ancestors, he is alive' I thought to myself. "Mr. O'Brien, he is badly hurt but otherwise he's still alive." I notified.

"Can he be moved?" O'Brien asked me.

I looked over the medical data and just nodded as I unbuckled the injured person's safety harness. All the while I have his arm draped over my neck and Glenn had the other side of his limp form. We dragged him to the truck we had nearby. "We need to put him in the back, Kuri you have to stay with him." O'Brien said as we got him into the bed of the truck. The vehicle took off to what I guessed to be Glenn's home which was about 25 to 30 minutes away. I looked down at the young Human and I couldn't help but notice that he looked rather... appealing to me 'Keelah, what am I thinking, he's a Human and I'm a Quarian, he wouldn't...' I was disturbed from my thoughts, hearing him call out a name , Amanda I think it was. I tried my best not to let him move too much or else he might get even more hurt, putting my hands on both sides of his head.

About half way into the trip, the Human woke up with him saying with a smile "Hi there." I sat there, too embarrassed to speak at first, noticing that I had placed his head on my lap to keep him from moving too much. "H-Hello, try not to move a lot, you're injured." I said, looking at him.

Jeromy's POV

As I came to, I noticed a pair of hands holding my head still. I opened my eyes and I was welcomed by the sight of a Quarian just staring at me, like she's thinking about something. So without thinking, I said "Hi there." as I smirked behind my helmet and then she said something like I was badly hurt or something, I wasn't really paying attention, I mean... I was face to face with a Quarian. "What's your name?" She asked

"It's Jeromy, Jeromy Storm." I answered, trying to sit up, but she held me down. Feeling like I lost that round I asked "What is your name, miss..." She looked deeply into my eyes and said "My name is Kuri, Kuri'Adas nar Tonbay." Trying to look around, I asked her "Where am I? I mean, what planet?"

"You're on Glenn's farm land on the planet of Eden Prime." she answered without missing a beat.

That's when it really hit me, hard. The Geth... and Nazara will be here any moment now, with the Normandy 15 or so minutes behind them. I looked back at Kuri, fear evident on my face 'I need to get these people to safety, I'll be damned if they die because they were helping me' I thought. She noticed my facial expression and asked if I was okay, I merely nodded. Soon after I felt the sky truck come to a stop in front of a nice looking house.

Then, seeing an older looking guy come to the bed of the truck and jokingly say "Well, look at the lovely couple." I just laid there, feeling my face heat up from the statement and if I had to guess, Kuri felt the same way. He looked at me saying "You okay son? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I'm okay, other than Kuri holding me here."

Glenn then activated his Omni-Tool and waved it over me and said "That's odd, you're okay now, other than a dislocated shoulder." I just laughed while I sat up from Kuri's lap, where my head had been resting. "Then I suggest I get it fixed ASAP." I said to both of them and they just looked at me in an odd way, like I was a new alien or something. Kuri looked at me, dumbfounded "You just fell out of the sky." She said

"I know, I was there." I said with a smile.

Glenn motioned for us to come into the house, but before I could step through the door, I heard an ungodly shriek coming from inside my own head. Looking around, I saw both Glenn and Kuri on the ground, holding their ears, before I looked up towards the sky and what I saw was the monstrosity known as Sovereign. The shriek from hell lasted for the entire time the reaper was landing, when when it ended, a Geth drop ship was seen coming towards us. It flew by the house and started to suppress us with its plasma weapons before dropping Geth platforms of various types all over the place. I saw that Glenn and Kuri were running for cover and grabbing whatever they could as a weapon to fight these robots from hell. I ran towards them, handing Glenn my Lancer and offering my shotgun to Kuri while I kept the Carnifex pistol. "You two stay here and whatever you do, don't play the hero, understand?" I ordered. "I can handle them." I moved up next to the front door, peeking around to see what I'm up against 'four troopers, a pair of rocket troopers and a juggernaut... wait, was that a faint shimmer?' I thought to myself. I was about to blitz the enemy formation when a voice spoke from inside my head 'You're not alone here youngling, I will help guide you and your abilities.' "Alpha?" I muttered to myself, checking my gun as well as my wrist repeaters.

When all things checked out, I ran into the fray, keying my Omni's music: Invincible by Adelitas Way and I put my helm on. Off I went, charging towards the first unsuspecting prey, which was a tropper until I biotically punched its flashlight out. Using it as a shield to stop its friends from shooting me, which allowed me to use my new toy, my repeaters. I use them to kill the two rocked troopers, by this time all but the Juggernaut were dead, dropping my mobile cover as I dodged its pulse cannon, aimed right for me. Behind the safety of thick cover I start taking shots at the huge construct before me, with my wrist weapons aiming for any weak points I can see. I found one, one of those things on its neck area, seeing this I focus fired all I had at it, after what felt like years, it dropped dead on the other side of my withered cover. Then I heard screams coming from inside the house and I saw a hunter, standing over Glenn who had been badly wounded by the platform. I ran as fast as I could and fired my pistol at the shiny flashlight head, dropping it where it stood. Storing my weapon it its slot, I ran up to Kuri and Glenn. "Glenn, don't move I have some medi.." I tried to say before he interrupted me.

"I've lost too much... blood." He grabbed both Kuri's and my hands, interlacing them. "Listen to me... keep each other safe, promise me." He said with his dying breath.

When he passed, Kuri started sobbing over Glenn's body and I walked over to her and did my best to comfort her with a caring hug. She ended up crying into my shoulder for about five minutes before I said "We need to get to safety". She looks at me saying as she sniffles, "ok, let go and kill some geth" saying the last word with venom. As we walked out of Glenn's place, I noticed a familiar ship coming in from orbit 'Finally, they're here' I thought to myself. "Kuri, do you know where the Prothean beacon is at?" I asked her.

there you have it, another character is introduced to the story...will there be more? stay tuned.

Don't forget to tell me what you think of it so far, i welcome all kinds of reviews.
