Elana Darcey,Gerret Flint
One mintue out from the Hades cannon
Elana and the rest of team two made it to the cannon they looked up and watched as it fired The whole sky seemed to light up, it shook their bones as well as the ground. Gerret looked to Elana.
"Darcey find us a vantige point so we can nuke the basterds."
"you got it."
she entered the building closest and went up the stairs she could hear Flint from the third floor
"alright i want the demo team ready in five no acceptions clear?"
she heard a faint "clear" as she reached the roof top entrance
looks good to me.
she called for the demo team to come up Flint ordered the three asari and Patrick to stay down stairs as the demo team brought up two M-29 Cains aka the portable nuke launcher and on Gerrets command they fired on the target. the blast knock them all on their feet but as Flint stood up he saw that apparently that was the reapers favorite cannon because two harvesters were on their way.
"get off the roof now! Move it!"
Flint shouted gunning for the roof entrance. They ran down the stairs but Elana was to far when the harvesters fired on the roof she got blasted off into the ally on the side of the building as she fell she saw a fire escape and reached for it. She hit the side and was hanging off but when she turned around she saw a harvester landing on the roof standing three yards away she froze up
oh shite. she felt a beed of sweat go past her eye down the brige of her nose.
" oh shite! "
the harvester let out a deep cry and fired at Elana it missed but hit the top of the building where the fire escape was attached
"son of a-"
the fire escape fell but she hit the building she was previously on and was pinned to the wall.
"Darcey are you alive!? answer me are you still alive!?"
it was Flint she reacher for her hemets transmitter but when she raised her hand she started sliding down the wall
"oh no,no,no,no,no."
she could hear her back plate scratching against the brick wall and when the fire escape reached its midpoint (about the second floor) it snapped off and she fell onto an old dumpster. landing on her back then bouncing onto the ground.
"ah..ouch."
she got up and held her back.
Good not broken but thats going to hurt later.
she could here Team twos guns fireing a block away they had moved out of the building and into a crater in the pavment.
"Darce- Elana do you copy!?" Flint commed for the third time.
she pulled out her temepest submachine gun and leaned against the corner of the building peering over to see Flint and the team pinned down while one of the cammandos kept a barrier up. With two ravengers firing at them while getting closer.
"yeah Gerret im alright."
she heard his sigh of relefover the radio.
"phew good, thought we lost you their."
she smiled "oh Gerret, you can't get rid of me that easily."
she popped in a thermal clip and saw that the ravengers were right below a resturants sign that was to far for the asari to grab it bioticly. And if they did the barrier would weaken.
"Flint i've and idea that can get you and the rest of the team out of there."
"what about you?"
"ill run into the alley across the street."
he responded quickly "ok now your not going to get rid of ME that easiy gimme details."
"i can bring that sign down on them so you guys can get away."
Flint paused to return fire then commed Elana "sounds good just remember to haul ass because we won't be able to back you up, got it?"
she peeked around the corner to see the ravengers baering down on them. Then returned with her back against the wall to collect herself before responding.
"yeah got it."
"Elana i dont want you die'n on me now understand?"
"yeah i know what'chya mean."
Patrick chimed in "oh for christs' sakes just do it before the basterds get the upper hand on us!"
Elana focused again "right" she took in a breath then exhailed as she walked onto the side walk reaching for the sign she used her biotics to grab it feeling energy coursing through her veins almost a tingly feeling that relaxed her but it also caused a great deal of strain to lift it and pull it down on the two ravengers. The minute it hit them Gerret stood up motioning for the team to follow shouting orders as more reaper force started to show.
"team move, now!" they ran down the street and around a corner behind them and a few husks followed. Elana ran across the street into the ally and truned to the left at the end she found five husks she imediatley pulled out her tempest and fired as she ran down the right allyway and back on the street just in time to catch the harvester swooping down as she was running one of the husks grabbed her leg she fell on her stomache she spun around on her back and shot it in the head as she kicked it off she heard the harvester hit the ground and explode Patrick ran out to her holding a missile launcher and hoisted her up by her arms.
"comon deary up an'adam."
"im fine lets move, go!"
she pushed him forward across the street as more husks followed he led her through a run-down office building.
"through here!" Patrick shouted.
their were more husks than before Elana jumped over a reception desk and followed Patrick through the service entrance and shut the door behind them. She could here them moaning and scratching at the door They were starting to break through as Patrick pushed a dumpster over to the door Elana quickly moved as he thrust it onto the door. they took a quick moment to catch their breath Elana knelt down with her hands on her knees, Patrick looked to her.
"whew that was close eh lass?" He slapped her sholder.
she returned the smile, as they started joging away the husks started braking through.
"they just don't know when to bugger off do they?" Patrick said breathing heavily.
they turned around and started running Elana shot one in the chest making it fall but it got back up and ran towards her.
"This way!" Patrick pointed to the destroid shop across the street as they got half way across the street Partick yelled
"Duck!"
appently Elana didnt duck fast enough for his liking because he tackled her down to the pavment if she wasent wearing her helmet she would have broken her nose.
as they lay down she heard a storm of bullets coming from the window and looked back to see the husks fall. the stood up and hurried into the shop as she entered she saw Flint.
"Elana!" Flint walked over to her and they embraced she didn't care if the others saw how terrified she was she just wanted Gerret to tell her that she was going to be okay.
"alright now Elana you have to get ahold of yourself, ok we just have to head over to the F.O.B ok?"
she looked up at him and let go she took her helmet off but as she did the team got an emergency call
"this is Sigma 1-1 broadcasting for imediate air pick up we are being over run.
"Elliott!...are you ok?"
"im sending out our coardinates now! send help...Alder!..."
the transmission ended Elana stood there she checked Elliotts coardinates on her omni-tool.
"he's a klick out from the F.O.B if we go now we can save him"
she started to leave when Gerret caught her arm.
"what are doing?" she gave him a sideways look.
"i cant let you go Elliott told me to keep you safe."
"did'he now? well did he tell you to leave him while hes eaten by reaper cannibals or torn apart by husks, and since when did you agree with my brother, huh?"
she looked him in the eye
"since it could get us all killed-"
"oh bollocks we all know what we signed up for."
his response would hurt Elanas feelings more than she thought it would.
"yeah we signed up for a suicide mission not a lost cause."
their was a painfull silence before Elana slapped him across the face.
"Elliott, my brother is not a lost cause."
Gerret swollowed hard and looked at Elana.
"alright then it's not just my life on the line what do you guys think?"
Gerret turned around and looked at the team.
Patrick was the first to speak "Elliott saved m'life, it would only be right if i returned the favor"
"ours too." one of the marines piped up.
one of the asari stood up "its not just your brother or your friend thats in trouble their isnt a lot of matriarchs left We need Amaris to help rebuild Thessia."
Gerret turned back around.
"alright buckets on looks like his transmission was scattered so camandos with me and we'll go to point B Elana go with Patrick to point A."
Elana looked at Gerret
"thank you. and im sorry."
"sall'right 'lana i understand."
before he put his helmet back on Elan turned him around and threw her arm around him and for the first time gave him the most heart felt kiss she had ever given a man, he wrapped his hand around her waist and in that moment their was no war or death no nightmare just the dream.
"'ay seriously? now you guys need better timing" Patrick peeked his head out of the building before motioning Elana to join him.
"see you on the other side." Elana let go and ran to catch up with Patrick and thhe other marines.
as Gerret ran to meet up with the asari he thought to himself damn now we have to win this.
my original plan was for Elana to run solo but Gerrets character is just so straight forward and uncomplicated that i figure that somone like Elana would fall for him hes also kinda like Elloitt Flint being the only other person who calls her 'lana. only 3 chapters left (kinda short as far as fanfic stories go but shit i dont want to be the guy who spends a year on a story this one took me 4 months) pls review i need to know how im doing even if you thinks the story sucks.
