Mass Effect Direct Action
The quarian screamed as her shields failed, several rounds tearing into her.
"Dammit, cover me!" Shepard yelled. Garrus Vakarian leaned from cover, sending a round from his Mantis sniper rifle. A salarian thug crumpled to the ground as he was struck. Kaidan used his biotics and lifted the other one from cover, finishing it off with a burst form his assault rifle. As the duo engaged the other assailants, Shepard rounded the corner and tackled a surprised turian. The turian used the momentum and threw Shepard off of him before standing up. Alan rolled into a crouch as he pulled out his combat knife. The turian charged as Shepard went low, stabbing the turian between the ribs.
The turian began to cough, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth; he didn't have much time. Alan grabbed him by the collar, pushing him against a crate.
"Who sent you?!" he demanded.
The turian merely chuckled. "He'd kill me if I told. You won't get anything out of- argh!"
Shepard scowled, pushing his knife farther in the turian's gut, causing the turian to grimace.
"Whoever you're working for can't kill you if your already dead. Gimme a name and I'll let C-Sec take you in."
The turian responded by spitting in Shepard's face. Alan ripped his knife out and stood up, wiping his the blood off his face. The turian growled in pain as Shepard pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the turian's head.
"On the count of three I'm pulling the trigger. One. Two. Thr-"
"Fist!" Shepard lowered his pistol as the turian grunted, trying to sit up.
"Fist? Who is he and what does he want with the quarian?" Shepard asked.
The turian shook his head as his hand inched towards his gun on the ground. "I don't know he just wanted us to take her out, honest, that's all!"
"You better not be lying," Shepard said. The turian merely shook his head. He suddenly grabbed for the pistol and-
Bang!
Alan raised his gun and shot the turian in the head, a looked of surprise frozen on the thug's face. He turned and walked back towards the others. Kaidan kept his rifle raised in case more hostiles showed while Garrus was crouched in the corner. Shepard nodded as he walked past Kaidan and approached Garrus.
Garrus turned to look at the Shepard. "This doesn't look good, commander. The quarian's dead."

UPDATE 1 - 23 - 13: I adjusted some things and fixed grammar.
I'm starting a pretty alternate version of Mass Effect 1. I expect to update every other day, despite my previous stories which I WILL resume.
