Hey everyone Rystorm here. Sorry if i've been gone for a while i got real sick. I'm all better and decided to start on the mass effect merc story. So lets get started.
Earth
Admiral Hackett walked into the shuttle bay, he watched as the alliance shuttle landed and its doors opened revealing seven armed Mercs. Three humans, two males and 1 female, a Quarian, an Asari, a Krogan, and a Turian.
They all stepped out, looking around, "I thought this place would be bigger." The krogan commented.
Hackett stepped foward, "Welcome all of you." He looked at each of them, " Sax Pruyas?" He looked at the krogan, the krogan pounded his fist together "That's me." Sax said. Admiral Hackett nodded and went to the Quarian, Asari, and Turian, "I'll take it the turian is Octalius Lupsis, the asari is Linera, and the quarian is Deron?" Hackett asked, all three nodded in agreement.
Hackett then walked to the last three who were humans, he walked to the one with spiked hair. "You must be Alter Miosfel?" Hackett asked. Alter nodded "That's right." He said smirking. Hackett went to the one with long hair and bushy beard "Your Mikado San'fur right?" Hackett asked. Mikado nodded. And lastly he went to the young women, "Evelyn Hunt i presume?" Hackett asked, Evelyn Saluted "Yes sir." Hackett saluted back. He walked back and presented himself to the group. "I'm Admiral Hackett of the alliance, before i get started do any of you have any questions."
Deron raised his hand, and Hackett pointed at him, Deron asked "Couldn't you have gotten more of my kind? I don't trust these people." Everyone gave him a nasty glare. "If you don't like us bucket head, get back on the shuttle and leave." Alter yelled. Deron walked to Alter and got up close and personal "What did you call me?" Deron said in a threatening tone.
Hackett broke up the fight, "Enough! I hired you all fight one guy not each other." Hackett yelled. Deron and Alter backed off immediately. An alliance soldier came up and handed each of them a datapad. Hackett continued on "Now, I hired you all to capture or kill one man, his name is Slick, no one knows his real name, He's the leader of a group known as the 'Bloodlust'..." Linera interrupted Hackett "How is he such a problem for you guys?" She asked, Hackett started again "He's problem because in the past few months he's already enslaved over four planets and nuked at least two! That's where you all come in. I hired you all because your the toughest and deadliest mercenaries money can buy. This guy is dangerous man who needs to be taken down, do this and you will be paid." Hackett said to them. Everyone smiled when they heard they would be paid.
Mikado stepped forward, "How are we gonna find this guy without our own ship?" He asked. Hackett smiled "I'm glad you mentioned that. See, the alliance pulled together and got you all this." Hackett said pointing at the shuttle bay hangar doors, revealing a large ship named 'The Imperial'. Deron said in shock "Keelah." he said gasping, "You can say that again." Octalius said agreeing.
They all turned back to Admiral Hackett who then reminded them "Before you all go, it's best recommended that you all head to Illium, Omega, and the Citadel to gather supplies." He said to them. They all nodded in agreement. "Good luck to you all." He said saluting them.
Everyone walked toward the ship as the airlock side of the ship opened, revealing an alliance soldier. "The admiral told me you'd need this ship. Allow me to give you the tour." They all soon followed the alliance soldier into the ship.
Inside the Imperial
They walked in with the soldier speaking about the enhancements the ship holds. "As we enter the CIC, the cockpit and your very own galaxy map." The soldier said pointing at the hologram of the milky way. "Also to add, this ship is built with a V.I. standard issue." They soon walked an elevator. They stepped inside and the soldier pushed the 1st floor button. The elevator moved revealing a small corridor with seven doors. "These are your rooms of course." He then pushed the 2nd floor button. The door opened and Mikado and Sax stood in awestruck, the soldier spoke up "This is the armory, which if we checked, has all the armor and equipment you'll need." He said, he then proceeded to push the 4th floor button, the doors again opened showing a big room, "This is the combat simulation room, where you can train, and spar with one another." The soldier said pushing the 5th floor, button the doors opened showing a bunch of chairs. "This is the meeting and comm room. Where you can discuss mission details and so forth." The soldier informed. He then pushed the 6th floor button. The doors opened showing whhat looked like a kitchen. "This is the crew quarters, it has a kitchen, a med bay, as well as some stairs that lead you to the engine room and the the gun battery room." The soldier informed. He then pushed the button to the 3rd floor. When it reached the top, they all exited and the soldier turned to them "That's about it, any questions?" He asked, Sax raised his hand "Yeah are you done?" He said looking visibly annoyed "Yes i am,with one reminder, the ship with V.I. can fly it's self so there's no need for a luck to you. All of you." The soldier said as he exited the ship.
The ship began to take off leaving earths orbit, Inside everyone looked around the CIC getting well acquainted. Alter came up in excitement. "How great is this people? Our very own ship. I must've died and gone to heaven." Alter said. Evelyn looked around looking happy "They never mentioned any of this in the contract." She said. Sax patted her roughly on the back "I'm not complaining, I'll take a free ship any day." Sax said chuckling.
That's when they noticed the ship was acting up. "Of course the V.I. had to act up now." Octalius said looking frustrated. Deron walked to him cautiously "I'm an engineer and this is not the V.I's fault, somethings going on here." Deron said in a worried tone.
The V.I. spoke in a male voice. " Error, system malfunction, error occurring on the 5th floor." The V.I. spoke.
Linera motioned everyone to the elevator "Move your asses people." She said. They all made their way down to the 5th floor, when they entered they saw a hologram forming. "Who do you think it is?" Mikado asked. "I don't know but were about to find out." Evelyn said.
The hologram popped up revealing it to be Slick "Ah welcome you deadly sons a..." He froze looking around. "Oh I'm sorry i thought Hackett hired mercenaries... not girl scouts." He said laughing. Everyone expressions immediately turned to anger, Deron spoke to the hologram of Slick "I take it your Slick?" Deron assumed.
Slick smirked at him "Ah i see there are some quarians with brains in those suits." He teased at Deron. "Look I'm gonna let all seven of you off with a little warning, you try to stop me and i will destroy all you." Everyone looked at him with confused looks "What makes you think we can't stop you?" Alter asked confidently. Slick sighed "I'll tell you something, Hackett sent one of Commander Shepard's best former crew member... what was her name? Oh yes Lt. Commander Ashley Williams to kill me. You see the problem was, when we met, she didn't get a chance to even fire her guns at me, and i nearly destroyed her! She may have lived but she didn't come close to stopping me. So again what makes you think you'll have any chance against me!?" Slick said while smiling evilly.
Everyone looked at each other a little stunned, Sax laughed "So what? Me alone, i could easily take you down little man." Sax said. Slick looked at sax "Yeah, I'm real scared lizard lips." Slick teased Sax, Sax raised a fist to punch the hologram but was stopped when Octalius grabbed his arm. Slick continued "Look I'm gonna do something nice, how much do you all wanna paid to make it all go away?" Slick asked.
Mikado spoke "How bout your head on stick." Slick looked up upset "Say what now?" Slicked asked. Octalius backed Mikado up " Yeah, your manipulative jackass." Slick pretended to grab his heart. "Oh that's so harsh... It's true but still come on, i thought we were all friends." Slick lied.
Linera spoke in anger "When we find you were gonna take you down." All Slick did was laugh. "Then i hope you all said your prayers..." His voice then turned evil and menacing "Because you all are gonna meet god!" Then just like that the hologram disappeared.
Whoa, i think that went well, also i put Ashley Williams in this tory cause she's kind of my favorite character next to Garrus, If you don't like that she's in here, sorry i'll try to take her out. Anyway i hope you enjoyed and i hope to see you in the next chapter. It's feels good to be back. Later.
