Okay, this is my first attempt at a Self-insert. I will admit that it will have crack in it, but not that much. This will also serve as a crossover.

Also, forgive my grammar, English is my second language.

Also, some characters that I will be using for the story will be OC depending on how well I know of them. For example I am planning on using a well-known villain to be an actual hero, since my character might land in a reality where it was the opposite setting.

I will say first that I am not good at describing things.

I do not own anything except for my insert character and Carl. This is for pure entertainment.

Prologue:

Location- The Between (realm between the dimensions)

"Uh, what happened?" 18-year old Edward Terrance asked aloud while starting to get up from the white floor. Edward was a healthy young man with black hair and blue eyes.

"You died." A loud voice said in front of Edward. Edward looked in front of him and was shocked at what he was seeing. A being with a black cloak that covered his face and holding a giant scythe was in front of Edward. Edward instantly knew who was in front of him, the Grim Reaper.

"Are you the Grim Reaper?" Edward asked.

"No, I just took this form since it's my favorite, it makes me look badass. You may call me Carl." Carl said to Edward.

"Okay, Carl. If you are not the Grim Reaper, then what are you?" Edward asked.

"To make this explanation understandable I will give you an example of this situation. Do you remember what happened last before you ended up here?" Carl asked.

"The last thing I remember is using my bicycle in the exercise rail until a girl in her bicycle came behind me and then kicked my bike yelling to move out of her way and that made me fall down the cliff." Edward said.

"Yeah, that is exactly what happened. For some bloody reason she was in a hurry and kicked you, causing you to fall to your death." Carl said.

"Note to self, in the afterlife find the guy who said that exercising was good for your health, because apparently exercising in a bicycle equals dying." Edward said.

"Don't worry about that. You should be glad to know that the b**** was arrested for her crime." Carl said.

"Okay that is one piece of good news. But again why am I here?" Edward said.

"Well, to put it in simple terms, do you remember those fan fiction stories where the author uses S/I?" Carl asked.

Edward stays looking at Carl for a moment and then he realizes what he meant by the question.

"Are you kidding me, I fallen into the scenario where I land in a fictional reality that I know like the back of my hand and then end up helping save said reality?" Edward said as he remembers the countless fics S/I he has read thought his life, well short life.

"Exactly, all those stories you read are actually true, in some realities of course, but that just complicate things, so don't bother thinking about it. Except unlike the majority of others like myself, who just take the guy or girl and dumps them into the new reality with no or little help and then proceed to tell them their mission thought incomplete dreams and/or memories, which ends up confusing said person (and readers) a lot more. So unlike them, I will tell you exactly what I want you to do and will grant you a power, especially since you died an early death so consider this your second chance." Carl said.

Edward, shocked a little at this, especially the part of him being dead but then he remember that if what Carl was saying was correct then this was normal part of a S/I story, and what he said was true, most of those stories involved the character just being dumped in the situation without any time to prepare or an explanation. At least Carl is willing to help him out.

"Okay, so what are you?" Edward asked.

"Actually, that is somewhat complicated. To better explain it I should start by saying who my grandparents are. From my father's side, it was a male Q Continuum member (Star Trek) who mated with a female Ascended (Stargate). From my mother's side, it was a male "the powers that be" or TPTB member (Buffy Universe) who mated with a female Light Hawk User (Tenchi Muyo). Long story short, the two offspring's fell in love and mated and had me." Carl said.

Edward stared at Carl in silence for a few minutes, contemplating at what he just said. If those were his grandparents, then Carl, by legal, semi-legal, and illegal definition, was uber-powerful.

"Damn, dude, that is one heck of a tree line. But wait, if you're this powerful, then shouldn't the higher-ups from each of those races put a 'do not interfere' policy on you since that is what they do with every member of their species." Edward asked.

"Normally that is true, but I decided to fuck them, since I could literally beat them to a pulp. Luckily my parents and grandparents approve of me. They told me to live my life the way I see it as long as I don't do anything that is highly destructive and/or evil." Carl said.

"Good for you. Okay, so where am I being sent?" Edward asked.

"First of all, what I am going to tell you is that I am going to send you to various worlds before landing you in the one I want you to help and you will live for the rest of your life. The first world I am sending you, you will join its military forces and train with them until I transport you to the next world. While traveling thru the worlds, you will gather experience and most importantly you may gather allies with you to go with you, but only if they are around you when I transport you next. Now, any questions before I continue?" Carl said.

"Yeah, what type of power are you going to give me?" Edward asked.

"Glad you asked. Now, I am sorry for this." Carl said before he vanished.

"Sorry for what?" Edward asked before Carl appeared behind him and injected a needle into Edward's neck.

"Awww." Edward yelled.

"Sorry about this man, this will only hurt a little, what comes next, more so." Carl said in a deep voice as he injected the green liquid into Edward. After he pulled the needle out of Edward, he fell on his knees to the floor holding on to his neck. He was there for some seconds before the pain went away and on his left wrist, a watch appeared. Edward then got back on his feet and looked at Carl.

"You cheap, you got that line from G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra." Edward said.

"What, this is a fan fiction situation; as long as we say who it comes from and that we don't own it, we won't have any problems with the guy upstairs." Carl said, and even thought Edward could not see his face, he could swear that Carl was smiling.

"So what that heck did you inject me with, and what is with the watch?" Edward asked.

"I injected you with limited reality bending nanites." Carl said in a monotone voice.

"Say what now?" Edward asked.

"The nanites I injected you will allow you to manipulate certain things in reality without any problems. Here is a list of the powers:" Carl said as he made a holographic text appears from Edward's watch. Edward then proceeds to read it.

Limited Reality Bending Nanites: These nanites will provide to user the following powers:

1. Any object that you have can be store in a subspace region that only you can access. One example of this feature is that you can make an armor you have come out directly on your body and vice versa. You can carry an unlimited amount of items and easily get them out by saying it's name.

2. Nanites can be transferred temporally or permanently to another being and you can make them change said being (ex. mental disability cured, incurable disease cured, etc.) Only the original user can transfer nanites, except that any nanite carrier can transfer nanites to his/her children.

3. Any being with these nanites will have the ability to generate a new identity on any dimension they go to.

4. Any money earned through any job will be available in any dimension (money can be converted to whatever currency the dimension uses)

5. The nanites provide the classic upgrades: strength, speed, faster recovery of injuries, endurance and stamina.

6. Memory viewer

7. Computer, with entire original fictional entertainment database. (original user only)

"Sweet, now that sounds like a really good power. But wait, if this is like a fan fic, won't having that type of power be overrated?" Edward said.

"Hey, my 'story', my rules. Besides, haven't you heard of the old saying 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth'." Carl said.

"I get the point, won't complain. Also, thanks for the memory viewer, with it I have a very good way of showing my future allies that I am not lying when I say that I am from another dimension and about you." Edward said.

"Yes, that's was a very good idea. So now, the final question remains, do you accept this chance or do you wish to continue on?" Carl asked Edward in a serious voice.

"Of course I am going to take this chance, I mean, is not like I have anything for me back home, my parents, even though they cared and loved me, disappeared when I was 6 and I have no friends whatsoever, at least until a year ago when my two best friends and possibly, no more like the two I loved disappeared. So come on, let's get this show on the road. Can you at least tell me a hint on where the final destination of my journey is?" Edward asked.

"A hint, very well. The final universe I am sending had colors representing its endings; they were red, green, blue and black. Originally there were only three colors but then black was added. And only in the red ending does the main character have a chance of survival." Carl said as he started to move his hands in a weird pattern.

"It had colors representing its endings; they were red, green, blue and black. Originally there were only three colors but then black was added. And only in the red ending does the main character have a chance of survival. Uuuummmm, wait, the only fictional setting that matches that clue is M…." Edward said but was interrupted by Carl.

"Good luck and farewell. Oh, and try to get a girl to fall for you. It can get lonely traveling dimensions alone. Also, everything you can carry that you had with you in your original world is already in the subspace storage. Goodbye." Carl said as he finished moving his hands and then a green portal appeared in front of Edward and sucked Edward into it.

"You're going to need all the luck you can get Edward, because even with my help and from the people I will be sending over to help, this adventure will be a long one. And I hope you find your friends." Carl said in a serious voice, behind his cloak, bright blue eyes are seen.

Location- Unknown reality, United States Army Recruitment Office

"Hey man, are you all right? You seen to be dozing off." A voice said to Edward as he started to realize where he was. He was sitting in an Army Recruitment Office. But it looked way too futuristic and then he remembered what happened with Carl.

'Damn he actually did it, I am in another dimension, but the question is where I am now?' Edward thought as he looked carefully around the office to see anything he might recognize. He swore that the setting looked familiar but it wasn't until he saw the recruitment poster that he recognizes what the soldier in it was wearing.

'Bullshit, he sent me to train to this reality. If I am really going to training here, I will definitely come out a badass.' Edward though. He then realized that the guy next to him was speaking to him, who looked the same age as Edward.

"Oh, sorry about that. I am just a little worried about this." Edward said to the guy.

"Naw, it's okay. I am also somewhat worried. My grandfather was in the army and he became an important person. I just hope to live up to his legacy." The guy, who Edward had now officially recognized, said.

"Don't worry. The important thing is that you make your own path. By the way, my name is Edward Terrance." Edward introduced himself as he raised his arm.

"Hello to you too Edward. My name is Alexander, Alexander Corde; future Section 8 soldier of the United States Imperial Forces." Alex shook Edward's hand.

A/N:

Yes people, first stop in the dimensional trip, Section 8. Why, I really liked the armor.

The next chapter, Edward will arrive in the ME Universe along with some allies. His other adventures in the previous realities will be explained in flashbacks or I might make special one-shots.

Also, I might add OC characters that you can submit. All you need is a name, reality of origin, a brief bio. An example would be you are one of the many marines in Halo or an unnamed Spartan. Just submit something and I might include it. I am just testing some things out.

Just please give me a chance. R & R, no flames.

Also, I may use this opening for other future stories that I may write.

If anyone has a suggestion on what series should I involve please give me an idea.
