Well, you all waited for it, and I know it took a while, but here it is! The N7 story that takes place throughout the galaxy. I want to apologize for its delay, but I had a lot of personal shit going on, and I had to coordinate EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER REQUEST. I couldn't say no to any bodies! I want you also to all check the other N7 story I'm writing that runs alongside this one, N7 Earth. But I'm sure you finally want to get at this story, so I'll stop talking.

"Fuck! Everybody get to the shuttle now!" Kya shouted as she created a small, flickering barrier wall. Shots, explosions , and bullets impacted the crippling energy wall as Kya desperately tried to keep it up to defend her retreating squadmates.

Nick was doing his best to carry Wolverine's unconscious form onto the shuttle, while Mike was trying to kill anything that got close. Kya watched as purple blue 'cable' materialized from Mike's left hand. He threw it toward a Brute, wrapping it around its upper torso.

"Get over here, ya overweight crab bastard!" He yelled as he ripped the Reaper forward, placing the barrel of his At-12 Raider under its head, and blowing it away. While the image would normally bring some relief and smiles, it was soured by the unfortunate whine of an overheated clip.

"Shit, that was my last one!" Mike shouted as he threw his shotgun to the ground. Bullets whizzed and snapped all around him as he switched to his M-5 Phalanx, taking as careful shots as he could to make them count.

"Janus! Get your ass over here; help me get Wolverine in the shuttle! You know how heavy this is!" Nick yelled to the teammate he had grown quite close to over the course of the damn war.

Mike turned and ran toward Nick and Wolverine's downed form. Kya's already exhausted barrier (she herself was not doing much better in terms of her own stamina reserves) finally flickered out of existence in a snap. Kya drew her N7 eagle and started spraying at the uncountable amount of Reaper forces headed toward them.

"Kya hurry! We're on!" She heard one of the guys shout. A few Cannibals and Marauders fell from Mattock fire, so she turned and sprinted toward the open door of the Alliance shuttle. Nick and Mike were crouched, Nick firing his M-96 Mattock and Mike firing Nick's N7 Crusader. Leaping into the shuttle, She turned towards the pilot and shouted, "Get us outta here Frank!" before her feet even touched the floor.

The shuttle lifted off the ground and sped away from the overrun position.

Kya sat down, exhausted from the nonstop fighting they had done and the amount of biotic ability she had dished out. Which, for her was saying something if she was this tired. Exhaling deeply, she closed her eyes. "Finally over."

"Not yet" Nick said angrily. "Looks like we got Harvesters and Reaper fighters." He explained as he activated the shuttles door turret.

Pulling back the loading mechanism, the turret roared as he let loose fire upon their chasers. "Ugh, these bastards don't quit! PISS OFF!" He yelled as he held down the turret's trigger.

Explosions rocked the air around the aircraft as the Harvesters tried blasting it apart. Energy fire from the fighter whizzed by, sometimes impacting the hull of the shuttle.

"Ha! That's right you assholes! Suck my bullets!" Nick screamed as he tried his best to keep the shuttle intact as he could. Frank up front tried his best to maneuver the shuttle without throwing them out the open door.

Suddenly, a red flashing light and a loud blaring erupted in the shuttle. "What the… that's the missile lock warning!?" Frank called back.

Two missiles streaked past the open door, exploding, rocking the vehicle. Mike opened the door on the other side, preparing the other door's turret. "Aw fuck. Cerberus is back!"

"Oh that's just perfect!" Kya snarled. "Reapers on one side, Cerberus on the other, BOTH of them tryin' to kill us!"

Mike cursed as he held onto Wolverine. "I don't think this could get ANY worse!"

Nick turned his head to Mike. "Don't EVER say that man! What did I tell you about saying shit like that!"

Mike loaded another charge into the turret. "And what did I tell you! You need to relax! You are being superstitious!"

The second he said that, a different alarm sounded. "What the hell is that!?" Mike asked.

Frank's hand flew across the controls. "THAT, would be our fuel alarm. One of the many people trying' to kill us must've nicked our fuel line. Whether or not they hit our engines-" he was cut off as the shuttle shook as a missile impacted the side of the craft. "-like they just did, we are going down. I'm tryin' my best to stay airborne as long as I can till I can land. Well, as safe as possible given the situation."

The missile warning sounded off again. "Well ladies and gentlemen. I think its official, we're dead." Frank said, quite calmly as a matter of fact.

The missile impacted with the flying craft and the shuttle started to spin out of control, plummeting toward the jungle below.

"Mayday, mayday, mayday." Kya lost track of what Frank was saying after that. She gripped her seat as if it was her lifeline. The g-force of the spin disoriented her as her feet were lifted into the air. She watched as Nick and Mike wrap around their respective turrets to hold.

Kya saw Wolverine's unconscious form start to slide. Kya reached out, wrapping her hand around Wolverine's shoulder plate. But the genetically enhanced super soldier was much heavier than the average human, so Kya's wasn't strong enough to keep her hold.

Wolverine's body slammed into Nick, throwing him off the turret, both of them flying out the shuttle. Kya's attempt to save Wolverine also had the unintended side –effect of loosening her grip.

No, not like this. Not falling. Damnit! Let me die on a battlefield, or even better, in a bed surrounded by grandchildren a long time from now!

Kya's left hand grew looser around her handle. "Kya!" She turned to see Mike's outstretched hand. Kya reached out with her free hand, struggling against the force of the spinning shuttle.

Almost! Their finger brushed, and then Mike disappeared out the open door. That's when the handle of her seat broke off. And the last thing she saw the shuttle spinning in the opposite direction and the jungle canopy rushing up at her.
