Chapter 20
Priority: Thessia
Reapers had reached the Asari its atmosphere and entering into their populated civilizations. The Normandy SR-2 had arrived with Commander Aaron Shepard
along with his main mission, to recover the Asari scientists. The main Temple was far for them to reach, they needed to go on foot.
Shuttles came from the Primus warship as it flew high above the sky of the city. Shuttles and Alliance warships moved through the skies heading towards other
positions. Kyra's shuttle headed onward towards their next assignment. Heading forth passed a massive reaper they were informed.
"Ground team we need to secure the base named "Goddess" and eliminate reaper forces" said Admiral Hackett
"Yes sir, what about civilians?" she asked
"Not this time, get the scientists and researches out" he said
"Raidenka, Dakar, and Dominic handle the reapers" said Kyra
"Danita and I will get the researchers out" she said
Danita and Kyra moved to the Main corridor, fighting their way through reapers. Moving on they headed up the stairs and to their left both swiftly heading
towards the large screams and biotic energy signatures. Kyra pointed out to Danita their location as a Cannibal flew past them falling down towards the Main
corridor.
"Oh hell yeah!"yelled Raidenka
"Formations? Anyone?" asked Dominic
"Little pests"said Dakar
The 3 moved into combat, Marauders aimed their rifles firing at them. Dakar created a biotic shield. Raidenka roared and grabbed ahold of his Claymore shotgun
and fired through the shield. The claymore's thermal shell dropped. Refusing to reload it again he slapped his un- loaded claymore into a Marauder's chest. Then
head-butted him after. Laughing aloud. Dominic sent out his cryo-blast into a group of husks. Raidenka sent a shockwave directly into a firing Ravager popping its
egg sacks. Lots of baby swarmer's ran towards him. Switching to his hammer he slammed down into them.
Kyra and Danita both reached the lab a couple of scientists were left.4 of them freighted and nearly drained from over usage of their biotics. Danita covered the
stairs. Kyra ran towards one of them that was bleeding out from her leg and lended a hand. Moving out Danita killed 3 husks and a marauder.
"We got them, send in the shuttle" said Danita
Alliance shuttles began to land outside of the Goddess temple. Danita checked the stairs seeing her other teammates. Continuing fighting the reapers as they
kept coming through. Dominic fell onto his back as he grunted aloud. The brute growled snarling face to face. Raidenka used his biotic charge and slammed into
the brute's left side slamming it into an ammo crate. Dominic looked to his right and rolled to stand up again. Dakar lost one of his swords as he tried to avoid
the banshee's biotic scream. He flew over the bushes and into the small pool of water.
Quickly getting back up to his feet he looked forward as the banshee grabbed ahold of his neck. Raising him to the point of eye contact she screamed. Gritting
her teeth towards him. Raising her right hand ready to stab him through his abdomen. Dominic fired at her from behind as she threw Dakar into Raidenka. Both
grunted as the fell on top of each other and rolled onto the ruined ground floor. Dominic fired his cryo blast as her biotic shielding bursted all around shattering
the massive glass windows.
"New plan!" yelled Dominic
"No shit all right" said Raidenka
Kyra and Danita reached the outside of the base. The shuttle and its 2 alliance marines ran out towards her grabbing ahold of the wounded Asari. Kyra
stepped back noticing them entering into the shuttle and closing the door.
"Admiral, the scientists have-"
A sudden explosion erupted bursting in front of Kyra. She was thrown back 10 feet back. She flew through an ammo crate and slammed hard into a concrete
wall. Danita looked back and ran forward towards her. Danita stopped hallway as she heard the large sounds of roaring. Through the burning wreckage and
flames of the ruined shuttle. A reaper Harvester flew in and landed. Its massive ruined wings stopped flapping. Its high head looked at Kyra. Danita fired her
black widow. Kyra gritted her teeth and sent out her drone to distract struggled to move away from it as she felt so much pain. Her mouth bled, her forehead
had drips of blood coming down her face.
"Lieutenant!"yelled Danita
Danita ran towards her and grabbed ahold of her right fired his Phaeston towards it as it looked down and up. Dakar and Raidenka returned behind Dominic. All
3 ran forward firing their weapons back at the massive harvester.
"We need a shuttle evac! Now!"yelled Danita as she helped Kyra
Dominic rushed over and helped her too. Kyra felt dizzy and slow as she could see the shuttle arriving in front of them. The team quickly got inside and left
Goddess. Dakar sat down beside Kyra as he checked his wound around his lower abdomen. Danita looked at his wound noticing the small bits of blue blood
dripping out. He held it and looked away as Dominic handed him a small device that would patch him up for now. Dominic attended Kyra's small cuts as he
could.
"Where are you hurt Kyra?" he asked
"I-my ribs…argh….and my forehead" she said looking at him
"We got our asses kicked back there….shit"said Raidenka
As there shuttle headed back to the Primus, massive Reapers came down into the city and screams continued. Aaron Shepard had looked out seeing the chaos
from the temple and looked down Liara and Javik stood behind him. They had just lost the Prothean last chance with knowing how to finish the Catalyst.
