Prologue: Elysium
Jaden Shepard who at the time of the skyllian blitz, was on holiday on Elysium with is father Jared Shepard.
As they left the ship they spotted their relative John, "Yo John is that you!"Shouted Jaden, "Yeah it me JC, Uncle Jared what are you doing here?" asked Shepard, "we could ask you the same John" replied Jared, "I`m on leave for the next two weeks you?" he replied "we`re on holiday John, the old Gunnery Chief at the boot camp let me come with dad" replied the proud young Cadet Jaden, "Oh really so your going to be a marine like your father eh?" asked Shepard, "yep, anyway what are we doing blabber mouthing here for we need to go book our rooms" said Jaden.
A few hours later:
Jaden and his father are walking along the outer wall talking about Jaden`s future when the baterians attack, BOOM! "What the hell is that" " baterians Son g and get John and take my M-3 Predator NOW that's not a question son" yes dad".
At the hotel.
Jaden comes running up to John out of breath saying "you –need-to-come-to-the-outer-wall-NOW!" John doesn't even ask why he just grabs his M-8 Avenger assault rifle and follows Jaden to the outer wall.
As they arrive they see Jaden's father Jared take a shotgun blast to the chest and die, John rfires a few round at the baterians and kill the slaver that shot his uncle, he then shouted to Jaden " get behind cover and help me keep them back" Jaden didn't reply he just picked up his father's old mattock rifle and moved to a more defendable potion while his cousin picked up a sniper rifle and moved to hire ground, all the while ordering the civilians into a defensive posture.
After hours of fighting the batterians break through the wall and the civilians scatter bu Jaden just shouts to John "You seal the hole and I'll cover you" John plants some blasting charges on the breached wall and detonates them moments later the alliance fleet arrives.
