Hey guys I am only writing this chapter because one viewer (deanandjo4ever1) has inspired me to write more when I wasn't going to, I was going to leave it at a cliff hanger and get you guys all mad XD! But this one is just for you, and remember people, it has to end somewhere though.
Maria just wanted to get this over with, she wanted-no NEEDED to find him and for him to bring her in his arms and whisper how much he had missed her since he had disappeared.
The Normandy neared the Collector ship and she took Miranda and Professor Solus with her on the shuttle. I should've brought Thane, thought Maria as they left the Normandy on the egg white shuttle.
The shuttle ride seemed to take forever. "How long will it take to get there?" she murmured now banging on the shuttle door "come on are we low on fuel on something let's get a move on" she yelled.
Maria realized that she was so worried about Garrus that she was being a total krogan to everyone else. "Wow Shepard, you're really anxious aren't you?" Shepard snorted at her comment and remained silent until they landed on the ship. "We will give a dispatch call when we are ready to be picked up"
"Roger that Commander"
Then the shuttle took off and Professor Solus , Miranda, and her all took out their own midnight black guns and began to look around for Garrus.
"Where were you guys when Garrus fell?" asked Miranda
"We were near the huge cliff near the edge of the ship, but he wouldn't have been able to give a dispatch call from their"
"So he must be in one of the control rooms, seems logical" said Professor Solus in his normal emotionless tone. "Let's get going"
Shepard waved her team over to a hallway that probably led to a control room , she couldn't really remembered she had been too focused on getting the job with she didn't really remember the ships structure.
"Are you sure this is the way?"
"I think, I really don't remember"
"that's reassuring" commented Miranda, obviously wanting to end their petty conversation.
That's when they saw a Collector.
"Duck!" yelled Maria running a sliding so that she was hiding behind an object so that she would dodge the bullet that was so dangerously close to hitting her forehead.
She reloaded before she stood up and shot four Collectors in-between their four yellow eyes.
"Nice!" screamed Miranda over the sounds of the Collectors laser's as they were trying desperately to win this battle, but they wouldn't-
Nor would Shepard's team be able to afford it.
But there is always bad luck in the face of danger
As Shepard stood up to fire another bullet the laser cut through her armor and right into her shoulder.
"AH!" she screamed in pain as the laser ripped through the skin on her shoulder.
The pain was excruciating
She toppled over and screamed out of pain several times until Miranda and Professor Solus had taken the rest of them out.
"Good thing your hear Solus" whispered Shepard and passed out.
-BACK ON THE NORMANDY AFTER THE FIGHT-
Shepard woke up to see that she was in…
's office.
"What the heck.." Maria grumbled sitting up on the cot. "Shepard, your awake" said standing up from her usual position in her leather black seat. "What happened after I was shot with the laser"
"Miranda and Professor Solus brought you back on the ship"
"What about Garrus"
There was a pause, a long pause that broke her heart after said "They had to leave him there Shepard you were more important at that time and Professor Solus couldn't fix you out in the open like that"
Now she was just plain furious!
"So you they just left him there! He could die at any moment, if not already dead"
"They are very sorry Commander"
"They will know how sorry I am after beating there as-
"There will be none of that Commander, you need your rest that laser ripped right through your flesh"
"How long will it take to heal?"
"Probably a few days"
Shepard huffed and looked at her,
"You expect me to wait that long"
"No I actually don't, but you need to"
"Then how are we going to save him?"
"I have an idea about that actually Commander"
Shepard was quiet so she could listen to plan.
"That might actually work" she whispered
"Call him up"
