Death is only yesterday

Chapter:14

Part.2 Bitter work


Planet Lesuss 2157

According to the database. This place is an unpopular garden world, with characteristics just outside of the comfort zone of its asari population. Its gravity is a little too high, its diseases a little too virulent, and the soil inhospitable for growing food.

Further information is difficult to come by—the asari government is uncharacteristically silent about Lesuss. Normally, a garden world settled so long ago would be highly populated, but little light pollution can be seen on Lesuss's night side.

Samara's craft arrived with James, in which the Asari do know about humans, but never seen one before. Samara knows people here and Asari Commandos train here, but also Yardrat-Kazi live their lives in peace and learn to control their powers.

"You will be given private lessons," said Samara "By me and few Asari I trust,"

"I believe it will be bitter work, but it will pay off." Said Bond

"You have no idea," said Samara

"So, how are the twins," asked Bond

"Fine," said Samara


"Was it easy," said Shepard

"At first it was long and hard to do the training," said Bond

"What about the twins," he asked

"Oh you will meet them someday."


The planet looked like a regular garden of Eden, but he isn't here for a sight seeing tour and the gravity felt a little heavy. James will manage the best he can do and will have to get used to it.

He is still sore from being almost blasted to atoms, by a zero element Bond. They came upon a compound of where Asari Commandos go to train their skills and abilities. Samara knows the compound commander who is also a Justicar.

There are some Asari there and they see Samara, with what the description matches a human and this human looked interesting, also rumors of this human being involved in a accident.

"Is it ready," said Samara

"Indeed, the humans training will begin" said the leader

"Well let's get started," said Bond

"Prepare yourself human," said the leader "Because you will be tested."

"Ah, good," said Bond "And here I thought it was going to be a walk in the park."

Then going inside the training hall of the compound, his training has begun in which he started by sparing with Samara, with the abilities she has and the ability he recently acquired.

The last time he fought Samara was a long time ago, when he was seeking revenge for the death of his wife. That was his first experience taking on her abilities. He wouldn't admit it at the time it was impressive.

Basic hand to hand combat with the biotic ability, trading blow for blow and throwing stuff, he noticed she is alot more nimble in this heavy gravity, while he had to huff and puff in this heavy gravity, this was only the first day and more is to come.

The days go by and the training continued every day from the basics to more advanced stuff, of course they trained outside. Right now he faced off against for Asari Commandos, from what he had heard they are the best.

Only this time using swords and other weapons, an enhancement of powers. Swords clashed between one of them and James, a clang sound echoed in the background, she slashed right and he swiftly moved left.

She kept on slashing, James on the other hand back flipped a few times by in a quick pace, than he is used to. Then when she used a forward slash, he ran up the wall. Corkscrewed his body, and landed a front slash upon her weapon it broke apart.

He round house kicked her in the chest, a gasp of breath escaped her lungs and then he punched her repeatedly, then using the ability to throw her at the wall. She crashed hard and is knocked out cold.

The three other Asari fired their weapons, in which James deflected them, but it was fast than he had ever done. He can see and feel the shots coming towards them. Using speed that he never achieved before he dodged their attacks.

It felt like a blur, and it impressed him. He focused on, one by one. He takes out the first one by side stepping and Judo chopped her in the back of the head, then kneed the other one in the gut and the third a hard punch to the face.

They fall down one by one in a matter of minutes, he could feel the power flowing through him. Had he unlocked something that was hidden away in his DNA he did not know about.

Or it could be a side effect of taking the elixir for so long, it might of triggered or did something. He had no answer for that, he had his skills for a agent long before he was exposed to the bomb. Q made a reference that he could of Hulked out.

James didn't believe in such non sense, but it did felt good. However he understands that he had to be responsible for getting these powers. At first he felt cheap and lame, because he was relying on his skills and brains, only now he has something else.

He will put it to a good use in how he sees fit and must always use control. So the days, weeks, and months go by until finally a year had passed and is well aware what is going on in the Galaxy, considering he is the Commodore of the Alliance.

Now it is 2158 and of course he learned everything he needed to know, mastering his abilities. His had grew long, he has a goatee and his clothes were ripped, ragged, and he smelled bad, he ignored that sensation.

He forged his own twin blades from the strongest, hardest, and sharpest metals found. He even bulked up a little bit, also light on his feet due to the heavy gravity. Now it was time for him to head home and being here is or was alot of fun.

"It's been fun" said Bond

"I knew you could do it," said Samara "That is what I love about you, however you need a bath."

"Care to join me," said Bond

"It would be our pleasure," said Samara "Oh yes, the twins are here."

Two young Asari girls, whom are dressed in white robes and see both their mother, along with their father who is human and they knew that ever since they were born.


"Wait you have kids," said Shepard

"Yes," nodded Bond "Like I said, you will meet them again someday. So when you and Miranda going to settle down."

"If only the Reapers are defeated," said Shepard
