SSV Normandy

(A/N: We are going with default Shepard for both.)

In the coming years, nothing big happened except for a Second Golden Age which allowed the Empire to spread its wings deeper into the Galaxy by taking uninhabitable planets making it inhabitable by Terraforming them.

The fleets were also upgraded as the Guardians and Empire worked together in creating better ships and weapons which improved naturally over time which only the Guardians used since the people on Nirn still loved it to get close and personal or use magic from the distance.

Vincent was quite happy about the improved firearms while the Guardians were happy about the new armor which seemed to be better than their own. Vincent also learned from Cayde the way of the Hunter before he learned the other sub-classes which his teachers couldn't teach him since they never learned them.

Mara Sov retreated with her people to Arkay while her brother stayed in the Imperial City in the Elder Council as the representative of the Awoken.

Yennee was old enough to be crowned Queen of Aedirn and the first Monk of the new unit created by Vincent. She released Saskia from her burden as Regent. Saskia became the Great General of the Legions in Aedirn as it was more comfortable for her to stay in Aedirn with the people she knows.

Loxos was crowned King of Nilfgaard and was the first Berserker of the new unit created by Vincent. He succeeded his mother who gave her crown freely to him so she could spend more time with Vincent and the others.

Vincent was mostly outside training the recruits of the two new units. The Dragoons watching soon realized that both unites were trained differently than the Dragoons.

The Berserkers were trained to be immovable. They must be able to manifest strength over anything else as they don't have a shield to hide behind it like the Crownguards.

The Monks were trained a bit similar to the Dragoons but they concentrated more on strength than the Dragoons who used the momentum from their jumps to gain strength.

The Network found out about the other races living in their Galaxy and they infiltrated their society except for the one that calls itself Asari because they change appearance the whole time making it impossible for them to infiltrate them.

Now 96 years passed since the Guardians arrived at Nirn and Vincent was flying in his small spaceship with his family as they were flying to the planet they call Azura which was called a vacation paradise in which people go to relax or have fun.

"So what will we be doing first?" asks Mina into the round as Vincent was piloting the ship.

"Oh, I would want to enter the oasis they have and relax there. Yuumi recommended them the last time I saw her," says Mako talking about her oldest daughter.

"I would have recommended the casinos," says Kirvena as she was quite good in those games.

They were flying and talking when suddenly an unknown ship appeared in front of them. Vincent was suspicious of it.

He entered the open channel and says, "Here is the Black Emperor speaking. Identify yourself, unknown ship."

"Here speaks the SSV Normandy. We need your help Black Emperor," says a man over the channel.

Vincent looked at his display and says, "It seems you have been attacked by something. Have you informed the 17th Fleet that you entered this sector?'

"We didn't even know that people were flying in space around those parts of the Galaxy," says the man as he didn't know what to do.

"We are going to activate the First Contact Protocol," says Vincent as he changed the channel to talk to the 17th Fleet that was approaching.

"Here the Black Emperor, 17th Fleet can you hear me?" says Vincent as the 17th Fleet rapidly answered.

"We can hear you, your Majesty. We can see that a Citadel Ship finally breached into our space. Do we activate First Contact Protocol?" asks the Fleet Admiral as Vincent smiles.

"I think it is time for us to reveal ourselves to the other races," says Vincent as the Fleet Admiral turned to his subordinates.

"You heard him. Don't point our cannons to the ship. We will escort it to Nirn," says the Fleet Admiral as everyone followed his order.

"Black Emperor, can you hear me, here speaks Commander Shepard. I am in charge of the SSV Normandy and its crew," says Shepard as she thought they have lost their communication.

"I can still hear you, SSV Normandy. I had to inform the 17th Fleet about you or they would have opened fire upon you," says Vincent as he turned the ship around.

"I will be dragging the Normandy to Nirn but before that, I would like to evacuate everyone from your ship into the Black Emperor. We don't want to hurt anyone inside the Normandy while we tow it to Nirn since we will be going FTL to arrive there in less than an hour," says Vincent as he could kill the people on the Normandy because the hole in the hull could open further.

"We need to discuss that," says Shepard as she couldn't take that decision on her own.

She went to the conference room after telling everyone that it was an emergency. They were sitting all in their seat when Shepard joined them.

"What is it, Commander?" asks the Krogan in the round.

"We need to repair the ship but there are no Mass Relays nearby which we could use to get to Earth or the Citadel to get her repaired. The friendly ship outside will be towing us to a place where we will get repaired but we will need to enter their ship," says Shepard as a human woman grimaces.

"It sounds like a trap," says the human woman as the male human nods.

"She is right. Once we are on their ship they could just take us as prisoners or worse kill us," says the male human.

"What do you think, brother?" asks Shepard turning to her brother.

"We have no choice but to enter the lion's den. We won't be able to survive out here and Saren would win," says Shepard's brother.

"You can't be serious Lieutenant!" says the female human enraged.

"As I see it they could have opened fire upon us the moment we were in sight but they didn't. They want to help us so we shouldn't see them as enemies," says Shepard's brother looking at her.

"But it is your decision in the end. I am only a Lieutenant," says Shepard's brother as Shepard sighs.

"We will vote. Everyone for boarding the other ship raises his or her hand," says Shepard as her hand went up followed by a male Turian, her brother, and a female Quarian.

"It is four against three. We will be boarding the ship," says Shepard as she leaves for the command center to continue the conversation.

"We are going to board your ship, Black Emperor. We hope that you have a medbay on board for the wounded," says Shepard as Vincent smiled while looking at Anra.

"We have the best medic in this Galaxy on my ship. She will take care of your wounded. I will now prepare to interlock our ships so you can board the Black Emperor," says Vincent as he slowly placed the ship beside the Normandy.

They interlock and everyone enters the ship slowly when they came face to face with Vincent and the others.

"Humans on this ship," says the female human as Yennefer looked at her confused.

"What is so confusing about it. The Empire is mostly made out of Men races followed by Mer Races" says Yennefer as they were now confused.

"She means Elves. We call Elves, Mers," says Ciri as they finally noticed the pointy ears of the women.

"Where are the wounded?" asks Anra as Shepard turned to Doctor Chakwas which pointed at some when Anra noticed a young man limp into the ship.

"The Normandy is ready to be toweled away, Commander," says the young man as Anra walked towards him.

"It has been ages since I saw someone with Glass Bones," says Anra as her hand glowed in a bright light surprising everyone of the Normandy Crew before the light entered the young man's body.

"Joker!" shouts Shepard as their Pilot fell to the ground making some of the crew members raise their weapon at Vincent and his wives.

"You knew he has Glass Bones why did you push him," says Shepard angry as Anra looks at her.

"He had Glass Bones. As you can see he has not even one broken bone. If he still had Glass Bones he would have died the moment he impacted with the ground," says Anra as the crew could see that Anra nor the others were afraid of their weapons.

"Also, if you point your weapons at someone that is less tolerant you would have been dead," says Anra warning them as she looks at Vincent.

Shepard followed the line of sight and saw Vincent with a smiling face while he was holding a gun in each hand.

"It seems everyone has calmed down," says Vincent as he puts his guns back in their holsters.

"Good, I am Vincent Highwind, the captain of this ship and those are my crew members," says Vincent presenting everyone to the crew of the Normandy before he says, "Anra, how about you take the wounded to the medbay."

"Follow me," says Anra as Dr. Chakwas and the wounded were taken to the medbay while Vincent put on his helmet and left the ship to secure the Normandy to the Black Emperor.

Then he returned to the ship and removed the helmet. He walked to the cockpit and sat down on the pilot seat and removed the interlock before he hears from behind him.

"I heard from the others that Nirn is an hour away from going at FTL but without a Mass Relay aroun-," says Commander Shepard when suddenly the Black Emperor accelerated at FTL.

"We didn't base our engine on E-Zero. Our engines use another resource that is everywhere in the Galaxy," says Vincent as he activated the auto-pilot and stood up from his seat again.

"You must be Commander Shepard going by your voice. It is nice to meet you even if it would have been better under other circumstances" says Vincent as he stretches his hand out towards her.

"Titania Shepard, but everyone just calls me Commander or Shepard, except for my brother he calls me differently when we talk privately," says Titania as she shakes Vincent's hand.

"Why is such a small crew on such a big ship?" asks Titania as Vincent smiles.

"It was made to house the whole family if needed. We were going for a vacation to the Planet Azura when we found you coming out of FTL," says Vincent as he walked to the common room in which most of the people were sitting at the moment.

"It must be hard for someone this young to command this many people," says Vincent as he looked at the crew of the Normandy.

They seemed lost as if they had lost a battle not too long ago when Vincent says, "I know the look on their faces. Many people I know wore it before until a ray of hope entered their minds. Thanks to him we brought peace and I became who I am today."

"A Ray of Hope, that would be nice. Our enemy seems to be always one step ahead and the Geth opened a hole in our ship," says Titania as Vincent smiles.

"It wasn't the Geth. It is a group of the Geth that split from the Mainstream which the Geth call Heretics," says Vincent as Titania was confused.

She wanted to ask something but Vincent stopped her while saying, "We have time to talk when we are on Nirn."

Vincent then returned to his seat and opened the see-through roof and the crew sitting in the common room could see the stars they were passing making many people were captivated from seeing that.
