Chapter 2 : Shootout
The remaining Eclipse mercs jumped, slide and bioticly hovered down to the main lobby, the highest ranked alive merc ordered us to fan out and protect the front entrance, . We listened I was crouched behind the first bullet riddled pillar closest to the front door.
We all cocked, pumped and released the safety's on our gun, the commanding merc ordered us to fire, all at once 9 of us turned from our covers and unload rounds of ammo into their squad but Shepard raised his hand and formed a biotic shield with protected them from our weapon fire, suddenly on of the younger mercs shouted
"This is bloody useless".
As he jumped his cover and sprinted towards Shepard omnitool weapon unsheathed, with his other arm Shepard swung his arm in an upwards arc and bioticly slammed him into a nearby wall. The rest of us could tell the slam didn't kill him his omnitool was still active.
"How the hell do we match up to them" a merc said
"Does it matter there's 8 of us and 3 of them " an older merc replied
"Hey you there, Drell " the older merc said pointing at me
"Yes" I replied
" You're a Drell aren't you a ninja"
"No do I look like one to you" I said as the older merc looked at me
" I guess not " the merc said
"Exactly " I said sarcastically
" INCOMING" a merc shouted pointing beyond his cover as Grunt charged towards us,.
Two of the merc turned and ran from cover screaming
" we surrender"
The older merc nodded to the merc with the sniper rifle he toke aim and shot the two cowards
" We don't allow cowards"
At this point Grunt was upon us he jumped on to a fallen pillar in front of one of the merc and fired his machine gun from the hip killing him and the two others beside him, the rest of us ran back into the bank we heard a crack of a rifle and the merc running behind me slowly stopped and fell to the floor with a massive hole where his visor would be.
Me, the older merc and a scary newbie were pointing our guns at Shepard, Garrus and Grunt,
"So you're the punks who have given the police hell" said Shepard with a confident tone in his voice
None of us had the guts to retort against Shepard, Shepard looked at Garrus and Grunt nodded and they dropped there guns
"Lets have a little fist on fist action" said Shepard flicking his wrist activating his omnitools weapon,Grunt cracked his knuckles and punched the wall he was standing beside turning most of the wall into dust he smirked evilly eyeing up the newbie,Garrus simply placed his sniper up against a wall and said.
"I'm fighting the old one "
"So I'm fighting you " Shepard said pointing his glowing omnitool blade at me
I managed to muster the courage to activated my omnitool weapon and taunted him by saying
" Come get some"
Shepard smiled his body began to aura with biotic energy and he charged towards me I narrowly block his omnitool with mine and fell back onto the floor,I quickly glanced to my comrade the older merc was fist fighting with Garrus, Garrus was pummeling him with uppercuts, right and left hooks and the odd headbutt.
I swung my head to my left and Grunt was leaning against the wall seeing he had broken the young merc's neck and there was a small puddle of blood slowly panning from inside his helmet, I pushed up from the floor looked forward only to take Shepard foot to my helmet knocking it off my head.
" Oh so you're a Drell are you " Shepard said surprised
" Yeah you got a problem Shep" I said while spitting blood out of my mouth
"No I just expected more of a challenge from you " he said
I replied " You want a challenge I'm not dead yet "
As I sprinted towards him omnitool posed to thrust and I swung for his head he easily dodged my blade and stepped into my thrust and punched me in the face but I spun my left leg in the air and countered by kicking Shepard in the back of the head.
Shepard stepped back and placed his hand on the back of his head and showed me his hand, his glove had a patch of blood on it and he said
" Nice kick "
" Thanks " I replied with a panting voice
" But that is the only hit your going to get boy" Shepard said
Shepard swung his arm and I felt myself being lifted and Shepard pulled his arm back behind him and I was pulled towards him and he punched me hard in the stomach and kidney I was dazed from the punch, I blindly swung my omnitool blade in front of me trying to hit him I felt him grab arm and elbowed my in the face and I fell back and slowly faded into consciousnesses.
