Shepard POV:

Shepard finished patching himself up from when Saren shot him. He let the medigel begin to glaze and inspected the OSD. It was a larger version, 20 gigabytes, and was omnitool compatable.

Shepard flipped on his omnitool and took a look at the OSD. It was a plant of unknown origin and had the power of mind control. Shepard began to laugh at this. Saren actually thought Shepard would believe that there was a plant that could control people.

Shepard kept reading, finding a file on acacia trees and how they have the same ability except they use it on insects. Continuing, he saw diagrams on how the plant spores affect the mind causing it to halucinate and kill anything that poses a threat to the Thorian.

Alarmed, Shepard ordered the team back to the Mako and they made a beeline for the colony. The ergency of what needed to be done was so intence that Shepard didn't even try to avoid the Geth. He ran right through them.

He got to he door and everyone got out of the vehical, "Okay, we are going to go in there and cut down anything in our way!"

Liara spoke up before Shepard hit the button to open the door, "What about the colonists?"

Shepard let out a curse and looked back at his omnitool. There was a knockout gas that could have helped them but they didn't have time to make it. Shepard couldn't believe what he was about to say.

"They are between us and the Thorian. Do what you have to."

From this he got a pleased grunt from Wrex and a disaproving shake of the head from Liara. The doors openned and Shepard came face to face with the ugliest creature he had ever seen. It looked like a dried up human and was running directly at them.

Shepard didn't even flinch, he drew his pistol and gunned it down. That is when the trio was off. Cutting through the enemy like a hot knife through butter.

Ty POV:

I held my ground and fired the laser right as the Colossus fired it's cannon. The blasts flew right past eachother and hit their tagets. Mine hit the Colossus blowing it to pieces. The Colossus shot flew right at me and I had the chance to get out of the way but I couldn't. Danny was right behind me and if I mover he'd die.

I had to make the choice fast, I thought about it for a moment and took a moment too long. The shot slammed into me and I flew backwards. I flew up and smacked agianst the Mako tank.

"Ty, we sudgest you get up. We believe you have taken an injury to the lower right side of your torso."

"What?" I began to get up but something had gone threw my stomach.

"Ty, we believe you have been skeward."

I just sat and stared at the piece of metal that had broken through my stomach. My blood was gushing out and all over. I looked up and saw Garrus was getting up.

"Hey, Garrus, little help?"

Garrus looked up rubbing his head, "What's wrong? Get knocked on your ass too-" He looked up and ran over to me, "That's not good."

"Why doesn't it hurt?"

"Uh, I think you are going into shock. I'm going to need help. Where's Danny?"

I looked over to Danny laying helpless on the floor. I raised my hand and pointed at his limp form. Garrus saw and let a curse. He then grabbed my omnitool and began searching files.

"What are you doing?"

Garrus kept scanning through my files until he found a specific one, "You have the file for Unity."

I began to loose my sense of awarness, "What's that do?"

"It will give a shot of adrenaline to any down squad mates."

Garrus hit the button and Danny shot up like he was zapped.

Danny POV:

Danny felt a surge of energy run through his body. He sat up immediately feeling his heart racing faster than NASCAR. All, that could be done was move in fast forward.

Danny's eye was caught by Garrus waving him over and Danny was over to him faster that he knew that he could run. He looked and saw Ty wa bleeding and had a pipe through the gut.

"What happed to him?"

"He got launched by the Colossus blast. It threw him on this pipe."

"Damn!" Danny's boyscout training kicked in and he began applying pressure.

Ty sat there hemorrhaging as blood flowed from the wound. Garrus began pouring medigel on it as Danny continued to apply pressure but the bleeding wouldn't stop. They began to panic and Ty started speaking what could be his final words.

"Danny, I need you to do something for me."

Danny kept applying pressure, "What do you need?"

He put his hand on Danny's shoulder, "I need you to find my son Mar. "

Danny looked at Ty in confusion, "Say what?"

Ty grabbed a rock from next to him and handed it to Danny, "He'll be wearing this symbol to show our allegiance to the house of Mar."

Danny grabbed Ty and pulled him off the spike and set him down on the gound. Garrus continued to apply medigel. Ty just went into shock from blood loss.

Garrus finished and looked over at Danny, "What was that about?"

Danny looked at the rock and chucked it across the room, "I honestly don't know, I think he was quoting Jack and Daxter."

"What's Jack and Daxter?"

"I'll tell you later."

They were about to sit and rest for a moment when the enterance to the room blew open and Colonists entered the room guns trained on Danny and Garrus. Their hand's immediately shot up in a surrender position.

"The Great Plant wants you dead."

Danny gave a smirk, "Are you colonists listening to your salad or something."

The colonists looked at each other contemplating what Danny just said. They were nodding and shaking their heads before one finally turned back to them and replied.

"Your confusing words will not hinder our mission."

Danny smiled, "Well, if that won't, maybe this will." Danny glowed blue and fired a biotic throw at the colonists. They were both picked up and tosed across the room.

Garrus did a double take from Danny to the colonists, "How'd you do that?"

"My last Shepard was a Sentinal."

Garrus thought for a moment, "Here, let me see your omnitool."

Danny gave Garrus his arm and Garrus went to work openning and actvating files. Danny watched and saw four buttons appear on his omnitool. Garris finished and gave Danny the down low.

"Okay, the blue button is Overload and the green is first aid. I honestly have no clue what the red does and the purple is incinerate. I sudjest using overload on the colonists. It will give them a nasty shock but it won't kill them."

Danny looked doen at his omnitool and his finger hovered over the red button. He thought for a moment then said, "Fuck it."

He hit the button and a holographic projection traced over his armor and shields popped up everywhere. They were a gold color and Danny was incased in tech armor. He looked from his omnitool to Garrus with a crazy grin on his face.

"You get Ty and stay behind me. I'll be the bullet shield."

Tali POV:

The ship was on high alert and all personel were grabbing rifles, shotguns, and pistols. They began lining the vents and preparing for the worst. Joker was locking down the ship while Tali made her way to the engines to start a cleaning function to kill all the monsters that hid in the vents.

It didn't take long and the ship was safe in a matter of minutes. Tali then went back to her camera that she had on Ty. She looked it up on her console and saw that Ty was looking strait up.

She became worried but kept her cool and waited for Ty to look around. She held her breath after he didn't move for sveral seconds. Her lungs began to burn when Ty finally looked around.

Tali let out that breath in a sigh of relief but sucked it back in when he looked down. He was skeward on a pipe. His blood was running like water and he was calling over to Garrus. Tali had to tear herself away from the screen. She felt the need to throw up after seeing him impaled. Tali quickly ran out of the room and tripped outside the door.

She sat huddled on the ground, afraid of what she just saw. Afraid of what could happen to Ty. Afraid of what could happen to her. Then, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Tali looked up and saw Ashley.

"You all right?"

Tali looked up at her with tears streaming down her face. She just shook her head no.

Ashley helped her up and took her over to the work bench, "I get it. Your worried about the kid and that he's out in the field, huh."

Tali shook her head yes.

Ashley smiled, "It doesn't get any easier to let them go out and fight. But it will get better. Just look at Shepard and I."

Tali's eyes continued to water, "It's not the same."

Ashley gave her an inquisitive look, "Why would that be?"

Tali sucked in a breath and spoke, "Because yours isn't dying right now."

Shepard POV:

Shepard and his team entered the elevator, a path of death laid behind them. In total they had killed six colonists. All of them, Shepard made the kill shot.

He didn't know why but the killing felt good. It was nice to end a life that wasn't a monster. Every kill was a release of his anger and gave him a relief.

They entered the elevator and Shepard hit the button to go down. Everyone was quiet and the scilence was good. Then, Liara spoke up.

"Shepard, whay can't we look for alternate ways to bring down the colonists?"

Shepard clenched his teeth at her insubordination, "Because, we don't have time. The Thorian has to be brought down."

"Why?"

"Because it's affecting colonists."

"So, we are killing the people we are trying to save?"

Shepard was about to retaliate when the doors opened and Shepard saw Danny in glowing armor. He looked over and waved at Shepard. Shepard just waved back and saw a missile heading for Danny.

"Look out!" It was too late. The missile struck and dust filled the room. Shepard ran out into it and searched the ground for Danny but was surprised to see him still standing. "How are you still up?"

Danny kept his composure but had a mischievious grin on his face, "Tech armor, it makes me a walking tank and-"

Danny was cut off as a prime entered the room and his tech armor shut off at the same time. The prime turned to them and opened fire. Danny tackled Shepard back into the elevator.

"I think we are going to need some help!"

"Where's the rest of your squad?"

"Ty got impaled on a pole, os Garrus had to stay behind and move up when it's safe."

"Oh, shit!" A grenade flew into the elevator.

Hope you enjoy Users and leave some feed back. I want to kow if there is any way to make this story better.
