Chapter Two: Meeting Space Marines
"Who are you with?" The soldier said pointing her weapon at him. Danny was more focused on her face than her weapon. She had short dark hair and a pretty face. Her white armor was fitted to show off every curve and while it probably was not very efficient he appreciated it as he looked it over.
"Are you our reinforcements? Which unit are you from?" The soldier asked him as geth fell around them.
"Who are you?" Danny asked. He would answer her questions but he wanted to know her name first.
"Ashley Williams Gunnery Chief of the Second Frontier Division unit two-one-two." Ashley said moving the gun she had pointed on him and used it to shoot the geth that were coming towards them. He used his suit to create a bomb and launched it at the others.
"Well Ashley I came to help but I am not with the Alliance. I saw someone needing help and so I came." Danny said his helmet zooming into the distance where the Geth were heading. There was some kind of base full of soldiers trying to fight back but it was not going well with the combination of husks and geth.
"So what are you? Some kind of mercenary?" Ashley asked him as they stood back to back and took down the husks that were approaching them. Bullets and green energy rays took them all down.
"I prefer the term space cowboy." Danny said once the field was clear.
"Really that is what you are going with?" Ashley asked him. Her tone was incredulous and her question verging on the the edges of sarcasm. He did not appreciate that very much. He thought the title was really cool. It served him pretty well.
"I think it works pretty well. Later I can show you my business card." Danny said as they began running towards whatever it was the geth were headed to.
"Assuming we survive that long." Ashley said as they used a giant rock to hide behind. He took a glance over the boulder to see how many enemies were surrounding them. It looked like there were two husks and three geth soldiers of the armature class.
"You take down the husks while I go after the geth." Danny said and Ashley who nodded even though it was clear that she was reluctant to do so. This woman clearly had trust issues. Maybe later they could talk it over drinks. He knew some really great space bars.
"Fine on the count of three." Ashley said and Danny just could not help himself.
"Do you mean on three and then go? Or go on three?" he felt a smile on his face but quickly wiped it away when he saw her glare. Guess she was just too stressed to enjoy his sense of humor.
"Go on three." Ashley said and Danny nodded. When the moment came Danny flew over the boulder and landed in between the geth. He created two green bladed swords the moment the geth turned their head to him and began to aim. Danny flew into the air to avoid their blasts that caused deep craters in the ground.
Coming down he used a sword to stab through one of those robotic horses. The other sword went flying through the air to cut the head off of another. The sword would eventually run out of energy and the nanites in the sword would turn offline and be destroyed. The sword would then become just a regular sword.
The suit was designed that way so that no one could possibly get their hands on any tech from the suit or figure out how it works.
This was to prevent any species in the universe from finding out how it worked and creating a way to harm them. The people of this universe already did horrible thing with element zero so if they learned how to manipulate ecto-energy and ectoranium who knows what kind of damage they could cause.
Danny soared into the air above the last armature and came down fist first. His fist was glowing green. His suit enhancing his strength so that when his fist met the head it went through easier than a chainsaw slashing through a bench of wood.
Laying in the remnants of the geth Danny turned and noticed that Ashley was just finishing up her husks. He knew the suit made him faster than most species but it was always a surprise when he found himself finished with a fight and his allies still struggling.
Before he could say anything he noticed two people approaching them. His suit identified them as one male and one female. Danny hacked into Ashley's communication system to alert her to them.
"We have got some visitors looks like they are that backup you were originally waiting for." Danny said knowing that even though they were far away Ashley could hear him.
"How are you in here?" Ashley asked with a surprised and wary tone.
"I did not want to boast but my technology is simply better than yours." Danny said and the two joined up together to greet the new soldiers coming their way.
As the two soldiers got closer Danny wondered what it had that was so important that required an attack of this level and what type of adventure he found himself in. Whatever it was he knew that it was going to be epic.
"Hello." Danny said giving a wave to the two before him. They gave him a once over clearly looking at his armor and noting how it was from probably anything they had ever seen before.
"Hi." The guy said clearly at a loss for words and focusing on something else.
"Ashley Williams of the two-one-two and you are?" Ashley asked while keeping an eye out for enemies.
"Cordelia Shepard and Kaidan Alenko of the Normandy." The beautiful woman with short red hair said. She looked serious and determined. Danny thought she could have been a model if she had wanted to. Lots of people would probably fight over her to get a chance to have them work for her.
"Did you bring any more soldiers with you?" Danny asked finding it odd that there were only two people the alliance sent.
"There used to be more with us." Kaiden said and the mood was immediately killed. Ashley, Kaiden, and Cordelia went silent to mourn for a couple of seconds. He was not a marine so if he said anything at all to motivate them forward it would have been seen as cold and heartless.
Danny had spent a lot of time fighting in the Attican Traverse and the Terminus Systems so he knew what it was like to lose people and given the lifespan of his species he would lose a lot more. He would let them have a few minutes to grieve before they got back to their race for the base.
Anything less than that was unacceptable.
Author's Note: The chapter was short but this is still the beginning of the game and the chapters will get longer.
