Unfortunately, I've pulled the plug on this story. I am rewriting it, however, under the title Chasing Demons. If you are interested, check that out. For posterity's sake, the original story will remain. Thanks!

"You're alive, Shepard," she said, gently stroking his shoulder. "Isn't that enough?" But he didn't know if it could be. Somehow, 20 of his people – the Normandy's people – died in that attack and he lived. An alternate take on ME2 had Shepard survived the destruction of the SSV Normandy and never had to be rebuilt by Cerberus.

It is simply fact that Mr. Satan is the most powerful fighter to have ever lived. He is the reason we live today, the reason martial arts was thrust into the modern age!

It's been a year since the destruction of the androids. Rebuilding has been difficult, but it's going. Still, it's hard to say if the world has become any better. While the rich and powerful tighten their grasp on the larger cities, gangs and murderers run rampant in smaller ones. In a world with no friends and no laws, it becomes harder for Videl to remember not to give up hope.
