Shepard in his Ghost outfit in the ME 3 pose with an omni-blade on his left arm, an assault rifle in his right, and a biotic aura surrounding him.
"There, happy?" Shepard goes
"Much."
"Okay lets get to Eden Prime then!" Shepard said eager to go.
On the way to Eden Prime
Shepard was in a depression. For a few years he was in a relationship with Liselle. He loved every minute with her. It was like every bad thing in his life never happened when they were together. He always complimented her, treated her right, never neglected her, always got her gifts when she least expected it and he was very confident about pleasing her sexually considering they fucked around 3 times a day and she started it. What he did not understand was why she suddenly broke it off. Was he boring her? Did Aria make her do it? And the worst one: Did she find someone else? That one was what Shepard feared the most. Someone he cared about throwing him away like he was nothing and for someone better. That is the most humiliating and painful thing a man can go through. Just before Aria told him to go take a vacation, Liselle had met up with him...
Flashback
"John.." Liselle said lacking her usual upbeat personality when she saw him. She looked real stressed out for some reason. Almost as if she got some very bad news.
"Hey Lis, is something wrong? Are you okay?" Shepard asked concerned for his girlfriend. For a second he could have sworn he had seen a smile start to appear on her face before she spoke up.
"John we have to break up." Liselle said shocking John.
"B-Break up? Lis what is it? You can tell me whats wrong." John said desperately hoping this was a bad dream.
"I can't tell you why. All I can say is its not you it's me ok?" Liselle said with her voice cracking.
"But Lis..." John said feeling his heart break. He desperately wanted to speak up, he really did but the words were not coming out.
"Goodbye John." Liselle said as she walked away from him leaving him alone in his house.
Flashback end
That night Shepard had drunk himself into unconsciousness. Luckily Isaac had the good sense to lock him in the house before he could do something stupid. After getting over a hangover that could fell an elcor he went to talk to Aria to ask if she knew why Liselle broke up. He knew if she wanted the space she would have it, but he would like to know the reason why his heart was broken. He and Aria talked about it, Aria mentioned that Liselle looked like she had seen a monster or something a few days ago, neither one of them really knowing why this happened, but both agreed it was best to let Liselle have her space. After that, Aria gave him a little vacation time to sort himself out since he, in her words "Smelled like a brewery on fire." With that he and Isaac picked a planet for their vacation and left Omega the next day. Just before he left he sent 2 messages out. One to Aria saying he is going on his trip. The second one went Liselle saying where he was going and that he wishes her well.
Aria's message was simple "Don't get into too much trouble"
Liselle's message brought a smile to his face, "Be safe and come home soon."
To Shepard that meant she still cared about him. That meant the world to him. All his life his mother had said that the only thing bigger than his brains was his heart. He felt a lot of things. Most of them bad and only a few good. To know she still cared made his depression lessen a lot.
"Well, lets get to Eden Prime Isaac, I'd like to relax on a paradise again." Shepard asked Isaac.
"On our way, Shepard." Isaac responded. The Judgement soared through space toward Eden Prime Unaware of what will happen.
Eden Prime
Shepard had landed on Eden Prime happy about being on a colony that was regarded as a paradise. He had just gotten off his ship was docked and locked up so no one can get in. Unfortunately, there was a group of soldiers there when he got off. He had his armor part on, but not the cloak or hood so they wouldn't recognize him as Ghost. That did not stop them from noticing him as he walked by though.
"Hey you!" called out a female officer in a white and pink came up to him.
"Yes?" He responded.
"Why do you have such heavy weaponry on you? This is a peaceful colony that doesn't need trouble." The unknown woman stated, brown eyes boring into his blue ones.
"Before I answer, how about we introduce ourselves first, it is a courtesy after all." Shepard said with confidence in his voice. The soldier seemed shocked that he wasn't in the least bit intimidated by her.
"Gunnery Chief Williams of the 212. You?" Williams said
"Shepard, a freelancing merc on his vacation. Don't worry I'm not here to cause trouble, just to take a few days to relax." Shepard responded with a calm voice. The other soldiers seemed to scowl at him after he said he was a merc. Apparently soldiers did't like mercenaries too much around here. Who knew?
"You had better cause trouble here mercenary. Or we will make you wish you never landed here in the first place." Williams warned him in a strict voice.
'This chick has a hard on for the military huh? I could get in trouble.' Shepard thought to himself while nodding at her. That was when he started walking toward the colony.
'Well this is a shitty start. One foot on the ground and I already have people mad at me. Sheesh.' Shepard said as he went to the nearest inn, motel or whatever they had on colonies for temporary visitors.
Later that night
Shepard had donned his Ghost outfit with the mask and cloak now and he decided to go to the bar to have a drink. He really wanted to test out his straw that he added to his mask to see if it worked properly. He was now sitting in the bar happily enjoying a Tasty Tankard sipping through his straw. He then heard Williams and her team come in and they started drinking and having fun. He was listening to some guy called Sergeant Donkey trying to seduce Williams until an officer came in with 2 of his followers, telling them about a beacon. That was when the guy got into William's face. He only caught a little of it.
"Your friends might not see it. But I do. You can't escape you past Williams." The asshole said with venom when Williams came out. Did she do something wrong? Was there something with her name he did not like?
"If you say so sir." Williams said in a tight voice.
"I just did." The guy responded. Okay it was time to mess with this guy now.
"Sounds like someone is being an ass."Ghost said out loud so everyone can hear it. That was when the guy came up behind him, grabbed him by his shoulder and said to the side of his mask.
"Who do you think you are?" The guy growled out.
"Just someone who is curious as to why someone is getting into another's face with an attitude like yours."Ghost said not afraid at all.
"Do you know who she is? She is Ashley Williams. Granddaughter to General Williams." The guy said so everyone could hear it. Ashley now looked miserable. Well lets see if we can fix that.
"Am I suppose to care to know who that is?" Ghost responded. The guy just laughed
"Well no I suppose not, in fact its better he is forgotten I guess." He laughed along with his 2 flunkies. Ashley looked ready to murder someone right now as did her team. They were about to get up when Ghost voice brought silence.
"Then why do you care?"Ghost said to the man. The guy stopped laughing along with his flunkies and looked at him strangely as did everyone else.
"What?" the guy asked.
"Why do you care about it that see fit to hold it over her and insult her with it?"Ghost said ready to mess with this guy.
"Because she is a Williams, a bunch stains on the Alliance!" the guy shouted at him now.
"What did he do that was so bad?"Ghost asked aloud. the guy responded, "He-" When Ghost cut him off.
"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to her." Ghost said as he pointed to Ashley. Everyone was shocked at how fast he dismissed the guy and turned his attention to her. She immediately responded with what happened to her Grandfather and why the Williams name isn't popular.
"Why did he surrender?" Ghost asked.
"I think it was because he was outmatched and out manned. He knew he and his men would not win." She replied bitterly The guy was about to start ragging on her again when Ghost said something that shocked everyone.
"Sounds like a hero and real leader to me." was what he said.
"What?! What do you mean?!" The guy said outraged.
"He cared about his men more than the mission, more than his reputation and more than everyone else's opinions. In surrendering this one time he probably saved more lives than by fighting. A real leader watches out for those he leads, not the mission or goal. Yet you insult his memory and his family. General Williams was 5 times the man you will ever be you pathetic sack of shit!"Ghost said with venom to the man. That was when the guy pulled on his hood.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" the guy said throwing a punch towards Ghost's head, only for the hand to be grabbed by the wrist and twisted at a very painful angle making the guy go to his knees. The guys flunkies were about ready to jump in until Ghost got up still holding the man.
"You wanna know who I am?" He lifted his head up so everyone can see his face. "I'm Ghost!" he said as he kicked the man in the face knocking the bastard out. The 2 idiots then jumped to attack him only for them to caught into a biotic grasp. They struggled for awhile until Ghost slammed both of them together knocking them out. He then left, but not before noticing Ashley sending him a grateful smile his way. He nodded to her as he left.
2 days later
Shepard was walking back to his ship ready to go home to Omega. It had been a relaxing vacation. Just what he needed: no real fights, no death, no destruction, just peace and quiet. Then the area suddenly got very dark and then the Judgement exploded in a flash of light which knocked Shepard of his feet. He quickly got back up only to see his ship in flames and geth running around in the distance.
"ISAAAAACCCC!" Shepard screamed.
