"She is tough, I`ll give her that much!" Tagren shook his head, watching the thick bloody drops under his massive armored boots. The purple trace they were following had been going on for a few dozen meters already, Vazir lost lots of blood which in different circumstance would be a good thing, but Tag knew better A wounded beast always fought harder!
Though he was not Adept Tag could still feel the residual Biotic power, radiating from the drops of blood Vazir was strong, truly st

"So This is not how we planned this mission, but that is where we at!" Jane Shepard slammed her heavily armored fists at the already cracked desk, making thick glass crunch even more. She was clearly irritated and pissed, more than usual: her implants glittered with red lights every time she took another tensed breath. From the very beginning this whole deal had been one great disaster, and now this...
Things clearly gone crazy with this mission: almost everyone on board, who was not abducted by the Collectors before, were injured during the fight or "impact" as EDI called this crush landing Only Thane Mordin and Grunt for someho

"I. DON`T. CARE. if 'The patient is resting' LET ME IN, GODDESS-DAMN-IT!" That ice cold tone would make even Grunt cry for his glass mother, no wonder the receptionist in the Hospital suddenly got some more white strands in her short red hair.
Garrus and Tali as well as other who came to visit patient were waiting outside, but for Liara that slow torture was not an option! Not to mention that as a Shadow Broker she wasn`t used to asking for things more than once.
The poor girl was trying to explain that visiting patient is not advisable at the moment but unfortunately world around her suddenly turned up-down where her angry interlocut

“Raaaaargh!” Jaina stepped forward throwing both her hands ahead at the clone, the Reave and Warp she threw at the same time lashed the decoy, throwing her, the crates, boxes and every other obstruction in the way, including the unlucky mercenaries through the hangar bay. The impact was so strong that it even shattered the Normandy`s movement, causing ship to lean a bit.
The Biotic shockwave the explosion caused chirred all across the way, causing casual electrical charges over the metal surfaces, the crates were falling on the floor scattering fire clips, spare parts and other contents all over the room.

The loud echo tore the calmness of the Presidium like a huge fillet knife: Tali`Zorah Vas Normandy (and half of the street) turned their gazes at the source of that scream.
A young quarian managed to see a helm and a three fingered palm before she was grabbed into a strong hug that merely smashed her down.
"Tali!" The stranger yelled again, pressing her hands around quarian`s waist tighter and tighter.
"Rana?" Tali finally managed to somehow react to this unexpected hug attack, she pushed the intruder away a bit to eye her closer.

"Hey!" Tali yelled like alarm when the wrench simply flew off from her hand and with hollow clank fell on the cold slatted floor of the Engineering deck. The Quarian tech sighed irritated, looking at the chuckling person in the corner and venting air off her suit angrily.
"Tag, stop that! That`s not funny! I need to work!" She tried to collect the instrument from the floor but it slipped her hand again flying into Shepard`s opened palm.
Tali narrowed her shining eyes and threw the massive nut that she was just going to screw on at him. Shepard easily foresaw that, the air around him shined blue and he immediately teleported to the neighbori

Sinestro let out a pained breath as he woke up. He coughed from breathing in dirty air. His body felt like it was on fire; a side effect from being thrown into the Anti-Matter universe. Sinestro was shaking as he got to his feet. He scanned the area to get a sense of where he was. The area was a wasteland. No life grew in the soil of the land.
Only one thought was on his mind. He needed to find anything to help him survive. He picked a direction and moved forward. Time was meaningless in this desolate. It could have been hours and he wouldn't know. All he could do was keep moving. The landscape all looked ali

It has been two years since the attack on the Normandy. Much had happened within those two years to Shepard. He had joined the most elite and powerful organization in the universe and rose to the highest rank within that organization. His skills with the ring had improved during that time to the point where he spent most of his time teaching the next generation of ring slingers. Shepard also managed to create a union between the Star Sapphires, Blue Lanterns and Green Lanterns that was more synergetic than before. All of their strength will be needed in the coming days when the prophecy of Blackest N

2158 CE
Cerberus agents discovered a rift in space in the Armstrong Cluster, in the Hydra system. It was a recently developed phenomenon. The rift emitted bursts of various forms of energy and radiation and a blinding, bright white light that radiated from its center. Cerberus scientists had probes to analyze the mass before they learned that the rift was a stabilized wormhole. Despite existing for hundreds of years, neither Asari, Turian or Salarian race were able to find a stabilized wormhole. Humanity, specifically Cerberus, was the first.
Cerberus sent a probe through the wormhole to investigat

Hal entered Oa's atmosphere. He was tired and in a lot of pain. Even though the blue ring grew his arm back, he could still feel the pain of his arm being slashed off. The broken forearm only compounded the pain. Hal approached a platform and landed. He held up his ring and said, "This is Lantern Shepard. I need medical assistance. Broken arm and rib, cuts, and burns."
Shepard collapsed to his knees and waited until a couple of doctors showed up. They carefully picked him up with a construct hand and carried him to the hospital. They took him to an operating room as soon as possible and went to work in repairing his bur

Arisia squinted. Her eyes widen and she yelled, "It's Kilowog!"
"Something's wrong," Shepard said.
Kilowog approached the arena and then collapsed. He was badly beaten and bruised.
"Kilowog!" Arisia and Hal both yelled as they ran to him.
"We need to get him to an infirmary immediately!" Ranakar said.
Hal created a stretcher underneath Kilowog. He lifted off with everyone behind him. It took him little time to get to the infirmary. The medical staff quickly approached

"Lantern Jordan," Voz greeted in a neutral tone. "What are you doing here?"
"I wish to speak with Atrocitus."
Voz raised a brow. "May I ask why?"
"I have questions I need answered."
Voz continued staring at him suspiciously.

Da fliegen die Leichen,
In Feuer getaufter
verteufelter Frauen.
Im Heimspiel der Ängste
Vergötterter Flüche,
Beschenkt man die Engel
Mit purer Gewalt.
Unter den Menschen
Da knistert Vergessen
Und anpassungssatte
Vergangene Gründe.
Sie werden nicht zaudern,
Den Hass zu erneuern,
Um das zu beschützen,
Was niemand bedroht.
Zwischen den Seelen
Da scheitert der Wahnsinn
Aus Flügel und Asche
An mangelnden Grauen.
Sie werden nicht fackeln,
Das Scheitern zu häufen,
Um jeden zu opfern
Der Gleiches benennt.

Als der Leuchtturm Nebel warf;
Der Tag war schlicht, die Angst war schlichter
Und der Dunst begrenzte scharf.
Von allem und uns selbst verlassen
Geh`n wir einsam, Hand in Hand,
Von über Nacht ergrauten Massen
Bis zum weiß betäubten Strand.
Vor allem von mir selbst verlassen,
Weil die Hülle Hölle heißt,
Kann ich den schwarzen Hund nicht fassen,
Der in meine Verse beißt:
Der schwarze Hund der Depression,
Er liebt uns, denn wer liebt uns schon?

Viel zu viel war nie genug;
Deine stillen Angstzustände
Nehme ich mir Zug um Zug.
Atemzüge voller Leere
Fülle ich mit deinem Duft,
In der Hand ruht eine Schere
Lungenflügel brauchen Luft...
Weil ich dich liebe, weil ich dich begehre,
darf es niemals enden.
Weil mir nichts bliebe, bis auf diese Schere,
scharf in meinen Händen.
Rück´ die Kleidung wieder gerade.
Augen trinken sanften Schein.
Heute wird die Maskerade,

Der Himmel zerrt an deinen Füßen,
Angst verfeinert dein Gesicht
Und lässt mich für das Gute büßen,
Deine Hand hält meine nicht.
Wie könnte ich dich gehen lassen,
Dafür lieb ich dich zu sehr.
Wenn deine Leiden jetzt verblassen
Wiegen meine doppelt schwer.
Die Schwingen sind mir abgestorben,
Meine Hände schenkten Trost
Und haben deinen Hals umworben,
Weil du unser Glück bedro

She put the binoculars up to her eyes again and glanced at Harbinger, which was massive. He eyes then fell to an Abbey that was still standing at its feet. And to the left of the Abbey was Roman Ruins which after 2,000 years was still standing the test of time.

Then a ship appeared out of the stars, then another appeared, and another, soon 10 ships were pushing towards him at full speed. He saw the leading ship now, an Alliance Vessel, and behind the ships coming towards them was a wall of flame that snuffed out the stars. He felt the panic coming the confusion.
