I'm back baby! It's time for another chapter of Mass Effect. Also quick announcement, I have two new stories made... well, one is actually an event, but anyway, one is a Last of us story and another is a OC Fight Club I recommend giving them both a look at. Now that were done, Let's get this show on the road.
The alarm echoed in and out of the base
Alter and Jade readied their snipers waiting for bloodlust to appear, they saw at least five squads of bloodlust soldier coming to the base. "Don't shoot yet wait for my go." Alter told Jade. The soldiers were getting closer to the base. "Now!" Alter yelled.
They opened fire taking out a couple of soldiers in the process. "Where are the shots coming from!" A bloodlust yelled out.
One of them stopped and observed the area looking from where the shots were coming from. He looked up and saw Jade and Alter. "They're up there!" The soldier yelled.
Jade and Alter both went wide eyed, soon the half of the soldiers were heading towards them. Alter patted Jade's arm "Get to the shuttle. GO! GO!" Jade got up and made a run for it. Alter pulled out his N-7 Valkrie and fired a few shots before making a run for the shuttle.
Jade and Alter ran to the shuttle and jumped right in. Alter took control of the shuttle and began to fly up as they were still being shot at by the soldiers on the ground. "Wait a minute, were not leaving the group behind are we?" Jade asked flashing a concerned look.
"What do you think I'm stupid?" Alter asked. Jade opened her mouth to answer but Alter stopped her "Don't answer that. No were not. I'm just moving the shuttle so we don't get shot at." He said.
"I'll let them know the problem." Jade said.
Inside the base
Deron and Evelyn quickly worked on the bombs as fast as they could, Jade's voice came over the radio "Guys come in do you read me?" She called out.
Mikado answered "It's Mikado we read you." He said
"We tried to hold them off but there were to many and they spotted us. We took the shuttle and hid so they wouldn't find us. Whatever your doing you got to speed it up." Jade said
"How until the bombs are primed?" Mikado asked
Deron answered still working on the bomb "It'll take about a few minutes." He answered.
"We'll hold them off just be ready to pick us up." Mikado told Jade.
"Alright." Jade said. "And Mikado... Please be safe." She said with concern in her voice.
"I will don't worry." Mikado assured her.
Octalius, Sax, Mikado, and Linera got b the door "There's gonna be crap load of soldiers coming and we need to provide those two some cover, as soon as these doors open you open fire, so lock and load people." Octalius said.
Everyone readied their weapons, ready for a battle. The doors then opened, giving them the signal to open fire. A flurry of bullets rained through the halls and both the mercenaries and bloodlust soldiers opened fired. One soldier pounced on Linera and tried to plunge a knife in her but Sax headbutted the soldier making him fall to the floor which he then proceeded to shoot him in the head. Sax helped Linera up and both went back to shooting. The four began to get overwhelmed as more and more bloodlust soldiers kept coming.
They soon realized they were beginning to run low on ammunition. Octalius took desperate measures to conserve his ammo. He pulled out a blade and began to hack and slash as much soldiers as he could.
Sax joined in as he charged towards the soldiers, either crushing, or beating.
The fought off as much as they could but the more and more bloodlust soldiers they would kill, the more that kept coming. The four soon resorted to running back to the reactor room. Once in the broke the fuse box, causing the door to close automatically. They held the door down as the bloodlust desperately tried to pry the door open.
"We can't hold them off forever, are those damn bombs ready?!" Mikado yelled.
Deron and Evelyn pulled a few more wires and were finished " Were done, we got ten minutes to get out of here." Evelyn said.
Deron ran to the door pried it open a bit and threw a grenade out. "Everyone hit the deck!" He yelled as everyone hit the floor.
A loud explosion was heard and when the door was pulled open almost all the soldiers were killed in the blast "Move it people! Move it!" Sax said, All of them realizing they had ten minutes to get out of the base before it would blow up. They ran for hall to hall shooting bloodlust soldiers that got in the way.
They got to the entrance only to see a load of soldiers outside waiting for them. They all frightened look knowing there was no other way out of the base.
That's when they saw a shuttle fly over and land, the doors opened revealing Alter who took out his Valkrie and opened fire on all the soldiers. "Get moving! I'll hold them off!" He yelled.
The four made a quick run straight to the shuttle as bullets rained towards them. They jumped right in and started to assist Alter in shooting.
"We can go any time now!" Evelyn yelled at Jade.
Jade brought the shuttle up as bullets continued to hit them from below. Soon they took off in the other direction getting away from the blast radius. The shuttle than began to shake as a loud explosion was heard. They all peeked out only to see a humongous mushroom cloud begin to form. If any bloodlust were alive out there, they weren't alive now.
Back on the Imperial
All six mercenaries jumped out the shuttle all celebrating their first mission success. Alter and Sax headbutted each other. Jade jumped on Mikado hugging him, they both gazed into each others eyes but Jade quickly jumped off fiddling with her hair in embarrassment.
" Whoa! What a rush!' Alter yelled.
"I'll admit that went better than I expected." Deron said in a happy tone.
Linera jumped in "Come on guys, lets go let Hackett know what happened." She said. Everyone began to follow her to the elevator as they ascended to the fifth floor.
Meanwhile on the Juggernaut
Sllick sat on his chair resting his eyes in the cockpit when Bonin came running in "Sir!" Slick quickly opened his eyes "The mercenaries they were on Anhur, they just destroyed our base on the planet!" He informed. Slick began to breath heavy and gripped his hands. Bonin began to get concerned "Are you okay." Bonin asked.
Slick rose up from his seat slightly chuckling "Bonin... let me ask you something." He said. He then punched a hole through the ship wall causing Bonin to jump in fear. "DO I LOOK OKAY!?" Slick yelled "That was my one stop shop for my nukes and poisons, and they destroyed it. That's like taking away a little kids favorite candy." He said
He then stormed out of the room, Bonin quickly following "Where are you heading?" He asked
"The Comm room. I went to send the Imperial an "Important" message." Slick said with a menacing grin.
Back on the Imperial
The Mercs soon arrived an began to call up Admiral Hackett, They waited and finally Hackett's hologram came up "Your back. I assumed the mission went well?" Hackett asked. Everyone nodded in agreement. "What did you guys find in that base? Anything of interest?" he asked.
"Yeah, we found a crap load of poison." Mikado said making Hacketts eyebrows raise.
"Not only that, but we found out he was making nuclear bases in that places." Deron brought up.
Hacketts eyes than began to widen "No kidding? Well it's a good thing you destroyed that place then." He said
"Yeah that place was hell." Alter said. "When's are next mission again?" He then asked.
"Say that again your... [static] on me...[static]" Hackett uttered as he was loses signal.
"What's going on?" Mikado asked.
Deron pulled out his omni-tool and began to scan the ship for problems "I can't tell." he said
Soon Hackett's hologram vanished only to be replaced with a hologram of Slick giving an evil and devilish smile. "Hey everybody, miss me?" He said
"You again?" Octalius muttered
"So I heard you guys were recently on the planet of Anhur, and made a quick pit stop at my base there?" Slick teased them.
Sax then laughed "Yeah we were, not only that but we blew the whole place up, and we killed a lot of your men in the process."Sax said.
Slick began to steam "Yeah well... NOW YOU ALL MADE ME MAD!" Slick screamed as he echoed all around the ship "I gave you idiots one chance to walk out of this alive, but now you just became my worst fucking enemy." He said in menacing voice "So if I were you, I'd be praying I don't find you, because when I do I'm snap every single on of you like a twig." Slick threatened, and just like that his hologram vanished and Hackett's came back on.
"Can you all hear me! Hello come in!" Hackett yelled.
"We can hear you Sir" Jade said.
"Good what the hell happened, we suddenly just lost connection there?" Hackett asked
"Slick hacked into the ship and boy was he mad at us ha ha." Alter said with a laugh.
Hackett thenn became concerned "From the sound of it, you really got him mad. I'd be careful now, from the sound of it, he might be out looking for revenge now." Hackett said.
"Don't worry about us, I pretty sure we can handle that freak." Linera said.
"I hope so. I'll contact you when we have another mission for you all. Hackett out." He said as cut out communications. The seven Mercs then exited the room to get some rest.
What a chapter, sorry I haven't written in while, I just been taking it easy for while. I'll try to write sooner or later, Until next time... PEACE!
