Author Note: Greetings! Thank you for reading this chapter!

I would like to add that I will be sticking with canon to the game, until the end of Mass Effect 3... I didn't like the endings because they made no sense, so I will be making sense of the endings they gave us. So, because of the idea I have in my head for the endings, I do not yet know if I will change it to match the DLC that Bioware is coming out with this summer. I hope they come up with a good DLC.

Anyway, thank you for sticking with me and my Shepard! Please leave me a review, they make my day and constructive critisism is good for a new writer too!

Sole Survivor

The cargo bay is on screen, and the camera shakes as if someone is walking. The Mako and Garrus are getting closer as the camera moves up the them.

"Garrus, how is the Mako doing?" Shepard's voice floats out from behind the camera. Garrus slides out from under the Mako.

"It definitely took some damage. Especially over there." He replies, gesturing to the side hull and wiping his hands on a rag. "It might take a couple of days to repair but I can get it fixed up good as new." He smiled to her.

"Well, let me help. What can I do?"

"You don't have to Shepard. I can-"

"Shepard. Nice job taking down that Thresher Maw." The camera swivels, showing Wrex walk up the pair.

"Wrex…" Shepard sighs.

"I didn't think a human could go into such a battle rage, but I want the big gun next time."

"Nah. I think I will keep it." Shepard replies with sour humor. Garrus frowned, lost in thought and confused of why she seemed to be in a bad mood. "Good job driving Garrus. Glad I have someone who can take the wheel and keep that dang thing under control in such a situation."

"Heh, thanks Shepard. I never thought you would give up the wheel and then fight with Wrex over the cannon. I have to wonder though, why did you go into such a rage and give me the controls?" The silence quickly became an awkward pause and Garrus' mandibles twitched, the Turian looking uncertain. "If you don't mind my asking."

"My rule is a simple one: Kill them before they kill anyone. I am not losing anyone else to those demon spawn. Not one more." Shepard growled. "I did enough running and killing on Akuze to know a few ways to take down a Thresher Maw. Feels good."

"Sure does. An enemy like that falling before us. That is why I like traveling with you Shepard." Wrex nods eagerly and this time Shepards laugh is genuine.

"So how about we fix this thing up?" Shepard asks, and the camera focuses back onto the Mako.

"Yeah, here." Garrus says, tone light and hands her a nice looking power tool.

"Youre going to have to tell me what this is and how to use it." She laughs and Garrus chuckles with her. Wrex is back on screen. "You going to help us Wrex?"

"I will leave the mechanics to you and the Turian." He says and leaves.

"You may want to remove the visor on your face." Garrus says pointing straight at the camera. "What is that?"

"Huh? My visor camera. Tali and I rigged it up. And your right, I am not used to it and I might break it."

"Well, is that red light supposed to be on?" Garrus asks as Shepard starts taking it off her face. It swivels and shows her face as she examines it.

"How did it turn on? I must have pushed a-" the screen goes black.

2 days later

Shepard appears on screen looking quite weary.

"Akuze seems to be haunting me. First the Thresher Maw, and today I found a fellow survivor. I remember him. I saw him taken under!" She seemed to be struggling, her hand shaking. "The Thresher Maws had him! No, he was found alive, taken, tortured, and experimented on by Cerberus! Akuze was just a giant experiment! All those colonists, my fellow Marines… nothing but data to this organization."

Utter rage and disgust filled her features and she looked like she was snarling. "Cerberus. I am going to stop them. We had already found Admiral Kohoku killed weeks ago by these scientists, along with other atrocious experiments. Inhumane human extremists."

A dark smirk adornes her face, "Wrex actually yelled at the scientist we found. The man was trying to tell me that I had no evidence. 'Shepard was at Akuze, that's all the proof she needs!'" Shepard did a growling imitation of Wrex. "Something like that anyway. It felt good, like I was protected. Garrus was growling behind me too."

A frown of fury and fire lit in her eyes as she continued. "I will not let this stand. Cerberus is an abomination and I will not let them get away with this. Justice will come swiftly upon their heads when Shepard and crew find them. That does not mean a killing spree, but if they fire first well…" the terrible devilish smirk crosses across her face again, "bring it."
