Prologue
Cipritine, Palaven
"Dexus! Enemies to the left!" Sarge yelled.
"Got them on scope!" A squeeze of the trigger and a Cannibal's head was no more. "I'm out on Thermal Clips!" I yelled.
"Here!" Vevian tossed me one which I then jammed into my Krysae Sniper Rifle. After firing at the remaining Reaper forces, we had a moment to catch our breath.
"Damn, this is the worst possible thing to happen right now, Palaven, attacked by Reapers?!" Vevian said angrily. "We had barely time to prepare."
"Well what do you expect? For the Reapers to stop if we call time out?" Sarge said. "At least we had a small amount of time, Earth had none! The soldiers on Earth are probably going through Hell right now."
Sergent was right Earth was going through Hell right this second. Their forces were getting decimated, every day thousands dead. And if we don't hold the line here. We will lose Palaven. Vevian's Omni-Tool flashed to life as we received a message from Command, saying Primarch Fedorian was KIA on Palaven.
"Oh Shit," Vevian said.
"What?" I asked
"Primarch is KIA"
"Well that's just great, what now?"
"Command is looking for a new Primarch on Menae? Commander Shepard is looking into it."
"First Human Spectre? Council's getting desperate." Sergeant said.
"Looks like command is ordering our sector to evacuate this area, Reapers have full control."
"Well you heard them grab what you got and let's go!" Sarge ordered. With that I picked up my Sniper Rifle and stood up.
"LZ's just a click from our position." Vevian said
"Let's get to it."
We walked to our LZ which was an area of buildings collapsed on each other. We were supposed to meet in front of them where shuttles would be waiting to take us to the Command ship.
"LZ is not to far from here le…" Immediately as Vevian started talking a shot rang past my head and hit Vevian in the stomach. He stayed up for a second, disoriented, and fell to the ground clutching his abdomen.
"Shit! Sniper get to cover!" Sarge yelled. I dragged Vevian to a nearby car and took cover next to him.
"Up high, destroyed building," Vevian wheezed out. I could tell that shot may have grazed a lung just enough to puncture it. He was bleeding bad.
"SARGE!" I yelled "He is bleeding out! I'm administering Medi-Gel!" I waved my Omni-Tool. The wound seemed to go through his abdomen and stop before going through Vevian's armor. There was a large dent on the back side of his armor showing where the bullet was going to exit. "Sit still!" I said. Right after I said that he passed out, probably because of blood loss. A sniper shot rang out and hit the vehicle. "Vevian! Stay with me buddy!" I heard a high pitched noise and saw a red light just barely through Vevian's wound. "Oh, Shi-" was all I managed to get out before I jumped out from behind the vehicle and Vevian's abdomen exploded. I got to an alley just across the way.
"What the hell happened?!" Sarge yelled
"Sarge! Vevian is KIA, the sniper must've hit him with some sort of time bomb!" I yelled back.
"I want that sniper dead!" He yelled. I examined the surroundings and saw a figure in the area Vevian talked about, then another shot grazed the corner of the alley I was on. I took a deep breath and came out of cover honed in on the enemy and fired. A shot hit the enemy in the head and was thrown backwards. He didn't get up into that window again. I ran to Vevian and the Sarge followed with his gun pointed down the street.
"He's dead, Dexus, we need to go." Sarge said. I looked at him then Vevian's corpse and nodded. I thought to myself.
"I'm sorry friend."
"MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" Sarge yelled as I sprinted to the extraction zone. Shots rang from everywhere and Turian soldiers shot back. Cries of soldiers getting shot, and Reapers communicating amongst themselves also distorted the fray that lie in front of me and as I passed by. I saw the LZ and the shuttle team defending it. My sniper rifle ran out of Thermal Clips so I dropped it and pulled out my M-3 Predator and firing it blindly behind me. I had finally mad it to the extraction zone and jumped onto the shuttle but one thing was missing. I looked around and saw no sign of Sergeant Then I saw him on the ground, crawling toward the shuttle.
"SARGE!" I yelled. "HOLD THE SHUTTLE!" I said jumping out of it. I started sprinting towards Sarge and towards a flurry of bullets, all whizzing past my head. I vaulted over a car and got to Sergeant.
"You got some gut to come get me!" he said as I picked him up into a firemen's carry. I started jogging back when a searing pain hit my right thigh. I collapsed on my right knee but got up again and started jogging towards the shuttle. The Turian's covered me as I made it to the shuttle and loaded Sergeant onto it. The men all stared at me after I jumped on. The shuttle door closed and medics took a look at Sergeants leg and mine. I finally found some time to rest on my way to the ship.
Tell me what you think in the Reviews. Thanks for stopping by!
