Noveria
"I'm a Spectre, let us pass" ordered Shepard, hoping that his status as one of the Council's fighting elite would get him past the guards.
He was wrong; they demanded that he and his companion lower their weapons. Before he could respond, 25 marines came pouring out of the Normandy, led by JD, who flared his biotics and surrounded the guards with a biotic field.
"What the-? JD I gave you an order!" Shouted Shepard, pissed that his friend disobeyed him
"I know, but we need to do this quick. The council picked up a mayday from and STG team out on Virmire. They reckon it's got something to do with Saren. I'm going to give the same order I gave on Torfan. Any objections?" JD asked
"No, we need to get to Benezia A.S.A.P" Shepard replied.
JD turned to the marines, and Ashley. He gave her a sad smile, and then the military façade was back.
"Take them all. Leave no-one standing"
The 30-man fireteam ripped through the security forces stationed on Noveria, and slowly made their way to the garage, ordering it open at gunpoint.
They climbed into the Mako, with 6 marines climbing into the Grizzly in order to follow. En-route to where Benezia was, Ashley spoke privately to JD outside the Mako.
"JD, why did you give that order? Here and on Torfan?"
"Pass? Honestly, I gave the order on Torfan because cut down my father and rape and murder my sister on Mindoir. When I saw the private get killed by a group of Batarians who had supposedly surrendered, I lost control. I gave the order for every Batarian on the rock to be killed, because I didn't see a private, I saw my sister. Back there I gave the order because we have to catch this bitch. And if Shepard can't talk her down, I'm going to take pride in putting a shotgun round between her eye's" JD replied.
"Oi! Lovebirds! Let's go, the building where Benezia is just round the corner" Shouted Shepard, a smile on his face which died when he saw the expression on JD's face.
Peak 15
When they arrived at Peak 15, they discovered that it had been taken by Geth. Shepard and JD flew into a rage remembering Eden Prime, and killed them. JD even ripped the 'head' of one with his biotics.
"Right, engineers get this place back online, I want 2 marines to escort the engineers, the last 2 marines, with me" Ordered JD. Shepard didn't counter his order, as JD was in command of the Marine force. Even Alenko yielded to JD's command.
Within minutes, the Engineers had Peak 15 back online to 87% of operating efficiency.
"Right, Team 1 with me. Everyone else hold here. Anything comes through those doors waste it" Ordered Shepard, as JD, Liara, Ashley and he headed to the labs, to confront Saren's right-hand agent.
"Mother! Why are you doing this?" Asked Liara.
"She will not stop me Shepard. Have you ever faced an Asari commando unit before?" Replied Benezia, before flaring her biotics.
JD countered with his. While not as strong as an Asari Matriarchs, they were far more powerful than any other humans. While Benezia and JD were locked in a biotic struggle, the loser of which would be killed, the rest of the team took on the commando's.
"Left Side! Ashley Suppressing fire!"
"Shepard! Behind you!"
"Im out! Switching!"
An explosion in the middle of the room caught everyone's attention. Benezia went flying across the room, landing on the remains of her commando's with a sickening thump, before JD sent a Warp that exploded, killing the remains.
"She wanted the location of the Mu relay commander. The…just get up here." JD replied, before passing out.
SSV Normandy
"Damn it Jason! You worried me!" cried Ashley when JD woke up.
"It happened again J. You used your biotics to much and passed out." Shepard Explained.
"What about the….whatever that was?" JD asked, getting up from the medbay and devouring an high protein bar that Ashley had for him.
"It was a Rachni queen. I let her go in exchange for the location of the Relay"
"Sounds fair. One queen. Should be easy to put down if it goes wrong. So where now? Mu Relay? Or do you wanna hit Virmire."
"Joker, set course for Virmire. Addams, I need as much speed as you can get me. Saren has a date with my rifle. I would hate to be late."
Everyone filed out of the medbay except Shepard and Liara.
"Shepard, I was thinking about our previous conversation. And I want this, but I am only 106. I have never done anything like this before" said Liara nervously
"Liara, I want this as well. And don't worry. We'll take it slow. But from now on, you stay in my quarters." Shepard replied, before placing his arms around Liara's shoulders and guiding her to his room.
Below decks, Ashley was checking the ships small arms, while JD sparred with Wrex.
"So Wrex, you must have some stories to share." JD asked, deftly kicking Wrex in the face, before hooking his leg behind the Krogan's, and with the aid of biotics, throwing him to the floor.
"Heh. You fight well for a human Jason. And no stories. Go to the Quarian if you want stories."
"Pussy. You're just afraid that now I've kicked your ass, I'll laugh at your stories."
"I like you Jason. You have quads. Ok, my family lost some armour. A turian took it. I want to get it back. I don't know where it is, but I will find out."
"When you do, let me know. I'll help you get it back"
"Thank you"
Just then a message came through Ashley's terminal, which she tried to hide, hitting the wrong button and broadcasting it out loud.
"Oh, by the way. You said you were serving under Commander Davenport. We saw him on the vids here. He's hot! Later sis."
"Please tell me you didn't hear that" she pleaded
"Afraid I did, interesting choice of words, 'under me'" JD replied smiling.
"Shut up. I dint tell her."
"All Senior Officer's report to the briefing room. We are 10 minutes out from Virmire"
Authors Note
I know its not as good as it could be, but I want to have the entire story finished. I already have a plan for Virmire, but Feros is going to be very short, and attached to the end of the Virmire chapter. Any idea's for any side missions would be appreciated, and please rate and review. I can't get better without criticism.
I'll have Virmire up and running soon, along with a plan how to tie it together with ME2
Please keep reading, and reviewing
Ben
