Mass Effect: New Beginnings

Chapter 6: Biotics

“Alright, but don’t get too touchy, save it for the third date.”
“I wasn’t planning on it, you just hurt yourself, and I don’t want to get covered in blood.” Wow, just wow.
I gave a concerned stair to which she giggled. “I was kidding but still.” And with that she headed into the bed room.
I entered the bed room and I saw Rainbow lying on the bed pretending to sleep, I can tell. I climbed into the bed and when I did she rolled over and took me into a hug.
“You know that both of us won the bet, I’ll take you out for dinner tomorrow, but you still owe me a kiss.”
I rolled over in the bed to face her, I looked her in the eye and she started to approach me. Our muzzles touched, her warmth breath sent shivers down my spine. We just lay there muzzle to muzzle for a while till we both got closer, before I knew it our lips touched. I felt her tongue asking for entrance into my mouth to which I accepted. I felt her tongue rubbing ageist mine, our tongues wrestled for a bit till she suddenly pulled away with a yell.
“Ow, thor teeth are tharp.” She had her tongue sticking out and holding it in her hooves.
I lay there with a blush on my face, I guess she saw I was blushing and her expression softened. “Oh, it didn’t hurt, it was just… unexpected.” I guess she was trying to find the right word.
“Can I see your teeth?” Ok, that was unexpected.
I opened my mouth to show my teeth. “Wow, it looks like you a carnivore with those teeth, are you a carnivore?” dam, what should I say?
I sighed “I was for a while, but I’m not anymore if that helps.” She had a concerned expression.
“Oh wow, I didn’t expect that, but if you try and eat me I’m dumping you and besides, I like living on the edge of danger.” She said while wiggling her eye brows.
“Can we get some sleep now, this is getting rather awkward.” It is, I hope she agrees.
“Ok, good night.” She leaned forward gave me a kiss on the muzzle than rolled over.
I just lay there facing the roof thinking about what has happened to get me to this portion. I was at the Citadel being talked to by a creepy hologram child, I killed all the reapers but most likely died in the process, woke up as a different species, got sexually assaulted at a bar, got a girlfriend, hurt myself to the point of bleeding and hurt said girlfriend with my sharp teeth. Wow, I’ve been up to a lot. I closed my eyes, it’s time to get some sleep, we’re heading to this town that dash lives tomorrow.

I was back in the Normandy, in my room, was that all a dream? I don’t know nor care, I’m back, I can help my crew. I got out my armor and put it on. I checked my weapon’s and biotics to witch I was happily greeted with them working perfectly.
I got in the elevator and headed down to the QEC, the lights are brighter than usual. I exited the elevator and when I did the light died down. I was back on earth, before the final charge which we lost a lot of men trying to do so.
“Shepard, you ok?” I turned my head to see my crew standing behind me.
“Yea, it’s just, this is it, the final charge, we just need one of us to get to the Citadel and we’ve won the war.” I turned around to face my squad and the solders going to be in the attack.
“Many of us won’t get through this, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to sit back and not bother, We ARE going to win this, We ARE going to kill the Reapers.” I turned back to the conduit.
“And if we don’t…. see you on the other side.”
“CHARGE!!” I knew Garrus would want to shout that.
I heard a load yell and I charged. The conduit was about a mile away, a reaper standing next to it. It opened its front, the red glow started to grow till the burning laser fired. Men and women all around we were falling. My squad right at my side during the charge. One of the burning red lasers shot past me, I looked to my side to see nothing, half my squads bodies far behind us, then one went on my other side, and on that side too there was nothing. I kept up my full sprint, I have to do this for them. When I looked around I saw I was the only one left, I now had tears streaming down my face. Then I saw it, the burning laser heading right towards me. I just closed my eyes and prepared for the burning pain which will come with the laser.
“SHEPARD!” the voice was familiar yet I didn’t know who it was.
As the laser hit me I felt a sharp sting on my cheek, the whole thing faded to black.

“SHEPARD WAKE UP!!” I opened my eyes to see Rainbow on top of me with tears swelling up in her eyes.
“*yawn* what is it Dash?” I started to rub my eyes.
Before I could do anything she took me into a hug. “You started glowing , I didn’t know what was happening, and I was worried.” She didn’t break the hug.
“Was it a purplely-blue?” If it was I know what is was.
“Yea, has it happened before?” Then I know what it is.
“It’s just something that happens when I have nightmares or when I’m angry, it’s nothing to worry about.” She still didn’t break the hug.
“That’s happened before?!?” she looked worried.
“Yea, it’s called a ‘Biotic Overload’, it happens whenever we feel extreme emotion.”
“Wait, what are biotics?” Oh crap, they don’t have biotics in there race.
“It’s nothing to worry about, it’s not bad.” I hope she won’t ask any more questions.
“But what are they?” Dam, I hope she doesn’t tell anyone.
“If I show you promise that you won’t tell anyone, PROMISE.”
“Cross my heart hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye.” Wait, what?
“Wha?” I had never heard that before.
“It’s a ‘Pinkie Promise’ a friend of mine made them up, anyway show me.” I let out a sigh and hopped out of the bed.
“Just, don’t scream.”
I powered up my biotics and looked around, I saw a chair in the corner. I shot out a lift biotic charge and the chair shot up into the air. I looked over to Rainbow and saw she had her jaw hanging to the floor and her pupils dilated.
“Whoa, you are soooo totally awesome.” She dove at me and took me into a hug.
“So, you don’t think I’m weird?”
“I never said that but that was awesome.” Wow, that’s a good backhanded compliment.
“But you can’t tell anyone, I don’t want word to get out.” I started spinning my hooves around each other.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anypony, but we need to get to the train station, we’re heading to Ponyville today.” And with that we started packing out bags.
It was more like I help her packing, I just put on my armor and that’s all there was . and then we headed out to the train station.
