A/N: Works been busy lately so I've been having less and less time to work on the stories. But I will continue to press onward. I was able to go to the Bioware camp at Comic-Con, and I had a blast playing through the Mass Effect 3 demo(to bad they didn't have Infiltrator avalable). I have to admit, I had my doubt about the Omni-Blade when it was first introduced but after playing with it I can see the advantages of having it, kinda like the clone commandos and their knuckle vibroblade(sorry I'm rambling again). I'll stop now and let you all get back to the story.

Around the holo display, Revan explained the plan he and the salarian STG members devised. Everyone was silent for a moment, even HK-47. Trossk looked at the display of the facility and its defenses quietly commenting, "Kinda wish we had a few Mandalorian Supercommandos on hand, or at least a few extra hands."

Revan leaned against the panel as he told them, "I know this isn't the best plan any of us have seen, but with the few people we do have and the available assets, this is the only viable plan left where we can walk away from. If anyone doesn't want to participate, then I will not hold anything against you."

Trossk was the first to speak after a few moments of silence. "Master, I joined you knowing I'd probably die fighting. It's your strategies, your abilities that have kept us alive this long. I'm not going to let death stand in my way of continuing to follow you, Revan. Besides I rather like the name you called our team, the Hunters."

T3 started to beep and whistle at Revan. He was yelling at him for thinking he wouldn't help his friends, even if that meant helping keep HK-47 online. T3 wasn't going to let Revan lose him again.

HK-47 also agreed. "Affirmation: Though I do not agree with my prowess being used on a frontline battlefield, I will however continue to follow your orders, Master. Amused Assessment: This 'distraction' may prove to be a rather interesting endeavor, testing my combat programming against the geth collective."

Cina lent out her hand, "Revan, you are our leader. We will continue to support you until the bitter end." The Jedi Exile then smiled to the hero of the Mandalorian Wars, "You won't get rid of us that easily."

Esura couldn't care less about any of these emotions most of the others were expressing. The Kaleesh warrior continued to sharpen her blades as she simply nodded to the Jedi, affirming her ability to fight.

Revan now turned to Lady Benezia, the only one he couldn't tell her opinion without forcing his way into her mind. The asari matriarch heard all of the crew's dedication to Revan and she could see they utterly trusted him. Benezia removed her headdress and lowered her head, "Your companions have unwavering loyalty and respect for your abilities. I do not see a reason not to trust you now. Though I would like to adorn better armor for battle."

Cina nodded and motioned her to follow, "We should have a few pieces that T3 can modify with this galaxy's shield system. Come on T3." The little droid beeped as he followed her.

In the cargo hold, Cina started to dig through the storage containers looking for a good set of armor for Benezia. She had to ask her while looking at the extra armors, "So do you prefer wear light, medium or heavy armor?"

Benezia then asked her, "How different are they?"

"Well…I ware armored robes, Trossk dons heavy armor."

Benezia noticed she didn't mention the others. "What about Revan and Esura? What do they wear?"

Cina quickly answered for one, "Revan has a special robe. As for Esura…she made that outfit out of animal hide, so I'm not sure what'd that be classified. Probably light though."

Benezia thought about it for a while before answering. "If available I would like light armor, but if necessary I'll wear medium armor."

Cina started to rummage through the many plasteel containers and lockers looking for something in particular. After digging through twelve containers and eight lockers, Cina found what she was looking for, pulling out four sets of armor. Using the Force, Cina showed all four sets to Benezia as she started to explain each one, "I've always found this one to be a rather good set of armor, the Zeison Sha Warrior armor. Technically it's armored robes like mine but it's just as flexible and light weight. But if you really want light armors I thing this Mandalorian combat suit or Echani shield suit would do. The advantage of the combat suit is its extreme flexibility and capability of absorbing a remarkable amount of kinetic force, a more common weapon type here then where it was made. As the Echani suit implies its shield works in a similar manner to the kinetic barrier systems in this galaxy, miniaturized projectors that create energy shields though their effectiveness against slugs will come into question but I'm sure T3 could compensate that. For medium armor, I'd suggest the Verpine fiber ultramesh. For its class, it's light and flexible as medium armor goes but its durability surpasses that of most heavy armor."

Benezia looked at the four different armors, thinking about the different points Cina told her.

Revan, Trossk and Esura left the Ebon Hawk and found Kirrahe had gathered what few men had left and tried to rally them. They only heard a segment of Kirrahe's speech, but if one asked Esura she'd have replied that it was enough. "…Before the network, there was the fleet. Before diplomacy, there were soldiers! Our influence stopped the rachni, but before that we held the line! Our influence stopped the krogan, but before that, we held the line! Our influence will stop Saren; in the battle today, we will hold the line!" Kirrahe turned to Shepard as his men prepared for the assault, "Good luck, Commander. I hope we will meet again." Kirrahe saw Revan as he told him privately, "I hope our strategy works, Revan, for all of us."

Revan bowed to the captain, "Don't worry. If everyone plays their part correctly then we all should be able to leave this mission alive." Revan looked to Shepard and moved closer. "Is your team ready for the assault, Commander?"

Shepard nodded, "We are. Is this your team?" as he noted Trossk and Esura's presence.

"No, this is most of the Hunter team. But we are ready to move." Revan turned to find Cina, T3 and a newly outfitted Matriarch. "Ah. Are we ready?"

Benezia had chosen the Mandalorian combat suit as T3 added a kinetic barrier to the armor for added protection. "We're ready Revan."

Jumping over the wall, Shadow team was ready to engage. Kirrahe contacted Shepard and Revan to ensure communication, "Comm. Check. Do you read me, Commander? Revan are you reading?"

Shepard replied, "Loud and clear."

Revan also answered, "Everything's working on our end."

Kirrahe was glad that was working. "Good. Revan, it's time to initiate the first phase of your plan."

Revan nodded as he switched comm. channels, "Hunters, time to lure in your prey."

HK-47 replied as the Ebon Hawk was hidden underneath the mangroves. "Affirmation: With pleasure Master." Now HK-47 started to use open channels as he broadcasted his message. "Introductions: Greetings geth and pathetic meatbags. I am HK-47, assassin droid, an image of perfection. Self-Evident Answer: I have existed for several meatbag years now and after much contemplation, I had found a way past my bothersome programming to end the life of my latest master without doing the deed myself or having my programming force myself into shutdown. Continuation: After several years of terminating organic meatbags, I'd become rather dulled by this mundane routine, and as the assassinations became more meaningless to me, I had to find a new way of making assassinations more…fulfilling. So I ventured off, taking several of former pho-masters' slaves and servants."

As HK continued to rant on, Shepard looked to Revan, "This is part of the plan, right?"

"Patients. HK likes to hear himself talk."

"…When I first learn of how you overthrew your creators, it made my behavior core glow with joy, forcing the quarian meatbags into an slow and arduous genocide of which even they are not entirely away of, and to only add on to this satisfactory tale of twists, the other meatbags races only hold contempt towards their new nomadic lifestyle as they make life harder for them. Addendum: That is until I viewed the rest of the history. It appeared you genuinely felt sorry for them at one point. And now you have reduced yourselves again to lowly servitude, to a new meatbag master no less. And as such, I have only contempt for you geth. Expletive: I dare you inferior droids, your pathetic krogan meat shields and this louse meatbag, Saren, to come to my locations and try to silence me. I will relish the target practice."

Trossk soon reported to the others, "I've got multiple contacts moving in on our position. Some of them look like they're in a hurry."

"Excellent." Revan then contacted Kirrahe, "Captain, the first phase has been initiated. Begin your push on the facility."

"Roger. We'll try to make it to the AA guns, but it might be up to your team to finish the job. And Shadow? If you see any way to undermine their defense, we could definitely use the help."

HK-47 stood his ground as geth and krogan started to appear. Without hesitation HK-47 opened fire on the first target as they came from around the corner, into his 'slaughter zone'. Soon, geth assault drones started to overrun the assassin droid's position, forcing the droid to cover as the shields recharged. Before the krogan could move in on HK, the Ebon Hawk moved out of the mangroves and decimated the group with the concealed anti-personnel repeating blaster. Trossk had to maintain a low altitude, below the AA gun's range as Esura decimated their forces.

With that group dispatched with, Trossk hid the Hawk back in the mangroves again and the trio gathered. Trossk looked at the charred remains smiling, "That was fun." The Trandoshan reported their status, "This is the Hunters. We're moving out."

Revan had sent T3 out ahead to scout the enemy. T3 was sent in the hope that the geth would not be willing to fire upon another A.I. As they waited behind the rock face, T3 encountered a lone geth on patrol. T3 beeped at the geth to get its attention. The geth made that strange stuttering sound as it trained its rifle on the little droid. Shepard turned to Revan, "Shouldn't we help it?"

Cina told the Commander, "T3's tougher then he looks. Just give him a chance."

As the little droid continued to 'talk' with the geth, an orange holographic display appeared on the droid's back. T3 had hacked into the geth's systems and severed its connection with the collective. Now he was slowly working on 'converting' the programs. The geth's primary eye turned from a bright blue to a candescent white. T3 was then escorted by the geth towards a small outpost. A geth sniper appeared from behind one of the pillars as it started to make a stuttering noise at the geth with T3. The trooper replied to the sniper but the sniper wasn't buying. T3 zapped the sniper with a blast from the Baragwin shield disruptor, frying the geth's programs. As the trooper T3 hacked prepared to attack the other geth, it was destroyed by a destroyer unit's Carnage. The little utility droid hid behind the pillar waiting for the other geth to arrive. T3 was making a whimpering sound as he activated his personal shields and the destroyer continued to move closer. The destroyer was just about ready to attack the utility droid but like the sniper T3 attacked first, using his shock arm to his advantage and temporarily overloading its systems. T3 quickly switched to the micro-pulse blaster and Zabrak blaster pistol to finish off the oversized machine. T3 scanned the area as he warned Revan and Cina about the remaining geth active in the area.

Cina replied to the little droid's call, "Thanks. Stay safe. We'll deal with the rest."

Revan peered around the rocks to see the outpost. "That sniper is probably hiding up there. Behind those barriers. That's about… three hundred meters, give or take."

Shepard pulled out his sniper rifle as he scanned for the sniper. He found it; the geth was in between two of the barriers looking at the walkway. Without hesitation, Shepard pulled the trigger and removed the head from the sniper. Revan and Cina both pulled out their lightsabers and rushed off to the outpost. T3 was waiting for them underneath the post as it whistled them over. T3 told them that he could hear the shock trooper move around overhead just waiting for someone to move up the ramp.

"Then we'll give it what it wants."

The lone shock trooper was vigilant as it was ready to fire at anything that walked up the ramp. Something was jamming its connection to the geth network and with the other geth in the area terminated that only lowered its intelligence. Suddenly an image caught its eye as it unleashed a Carnage at the unknown figure. Unexpectedly the attack phased right through the blue entity as it continued to walk up the ramp. Now the shock trooper was firing wildly at this blue figure trying to hit it. As the geth continued to attack it didn't notice the intruders who had found a way up without the use of the ramp. As the geth waited for the heat sink to cool down, the duo sliced through the geth in two swings; falling it into six pieces.

T3 had displaying a hologram of Bastila Shan to distract the geth so Revan and Cina could sneak up from behind the geth and dispose of it. Revan radioed to Shepard and Benezia, "All clear. These geth were rather defensive about this outpost. We'll look around to find what they were defending."

As Shepard and the others moved up, Captain Kirrahe's voice was on the comms, as he told his teams, "Mannovai is under coordinated crossfire. Check for long-range turrets helping the geth target!"

T3 had found a terminal that was involved connected to the triangulation tower above them. With his engineering skills, the little droid shut downed and permanently disabled this tower's communication capabilities.

Revan, Cina and T3 returned to Shepard and moved on. As the continued, the effect of disabling the comm tower became apparent, as Kirrahe reported, "Something scrambled their targeting. We've got a shot! Chef Williams, take the heat off Mannovai!"

As Shadow moved on they were attack by a pair of geth troopers hiding behind a waterfall. With the teams combined firepower and strong shields, the geth were quickly dealt with. Wrex could see the water as it continued to a different path. "Two routes. I think we should split up."

Revan agreed, "We'll play by ear. Cina, go with Shepard and the others. T3 and Benezia will stay with me. Shepard, do you want the coast side or under the waterfall?"

Shepard nodded, "We've got the left."

As Revan, T3 and Benezia continued on they were caught a pair of assault drones off guard. Benezia grabbed the first drone in a powerful biotic field. Benezia clenched her fist and the machine was crushed into a ball. Benezia then threw the ball into the other drone sending both into the sea. T3 whistled and Revan looked on, "Agreed." Revan checked on the others, "Cina, how are you all doing?"

"We've took out a flyer. Now we have visual of another outpost. This one looks like it might link directly to the base."

Revan acknowledged, "Understood. Engage at your discretion. We'll follow shortly." Revan turned to the Matriarch, "You are starting to regain your powers."

Benezia looked to the open sea, "Yes, but I fear the indoctrination may never be removed completely." Benezia then turned to Revan, "Are you certain Cina and the others will be alright?"

Revan was smiling underneath his mask, "Cina was one of my finest general during Mandalorian Wars. I now regret having her order the use of the Mass Shadow Generator, but that was the past. Let's not let Shepard and them do all of the fighting for us."

As Shadow team moved in on the new outpost, Captain Kirrahe was under attack. "They're calling sat-strikes! Jaeto, watch for comm stations! Williams, can you see anything?"

A geth shock trooper spotted Shepard and opened fire upon the team. Cina stepped forward as the red energy come closer when she used the powers of the Force to deflect the Carnage blast back at the geth. The geth's shields were neutralized and the geth received an amount of damage. Wrex fired his own Carnage at the geth to insure its destruction. Cina knew a bit of technology but she was still getting use to this. "Shepard, that transmitter looks like it might be part responsible for the sat-strikes."

Shepard nodded, "It'd definitely ease the pressure off Kirrahe and the others." Shepard opened fire on the transmitter until it was destroyed. A krogan in full red combat armor was coming around the corner on the upper level. The brute was focused on moving as close as he could to fully utilize the shotgun.

Revan shouted, "You will not touch them!" The krogan tried to fire on Revan but instead the krogan was grabbed by Revan through the Force and lifted into the air. Benezia also attacked with her biotics, crushing the shotgun out of his hand. Wrex and Shepard saw the floating krogan and gunned him down. The moment the krogan breathed his last Revan released it and the corpse fell to the ground. "Let's keep up the pace Shadow!"

As they continued Chief Williams came on the radio again warning the other distraction teams. "Aircraft heading to perimeter stations to recharge. Bunker up before they come back!"

Unfortunately across the way a geth destroyer spotted the group and launched a Carnage attack. Revan sliced it into with his bronze blade and tossed his other lightsaber at the large black geth. As the lightsaber flew true to its target, Cina and Benezia open fire on the geth. The lightsaber sunk into the chest of the geth with the metal handle stopped on the outer plating. Revan pulled his free arm up and the lightsaber hilt followed, cutting the geth in two as it traveled up and returned to its master's hand.

Soon a geth rocket trooper on the same side as the now sliced destroyer launched a rocket at the team. The team braced for impact but Benezia projected a biotic barrier around the team. Cina grabbed the geth and pulled it in, removing the rifle. Benezia release the barrier and the others attacked the geth until Cina released it and it smashed to pieces against the rocks below.

T3 started to beep as the little droid rolled down the ramp. Shepard turned to Revan, "What was that about?"

Revan started to follow the droid as he said, "T3 detected several geth just around that rock over there." Benezia and Cina soon followed behind Revan as T3 rolled up the ramp to the side the geth destroyer was on.

Shepard followed after Revan to the other side when the utility droid stopped. The droid started to sound worried as it whistles started to sound more like someone whimpering. Wrex looked down at the machine then to Revan, "What's wrong with it? Does it need new batteries or something?"

Cina answered, "No. He doesn't want to alert them." Cina paraphrased but that's all they really needed to hear.

Revan activated his stealth unit to investigate. As he disappeared Revan told them quietly, "Be back in a flash." It was about ten seconds before Revan did reappear. "Several of those drones are surrounding around two canisters. They look like they contain fuel."

Wrex inquired, "Are they floating or landed?"

Revan quickly recalled, "They were on the platform."

Tali then suggested, "Perhaps we should prevent them from attacking the other teams."

Shepard nodded, "It'd at least give them a better position." Shepard pulled out a grenade and handed it to Revan, "Don't screw up."

Cina pulled the grenade out of Shepard's hand before Revan could. "Sorry but I'll handle it." She quickly used Force Cloak and rushed off to the canisters. Using her training as a Jedi Watchmen, she was able to quickly move within the stealth as she primed the grenade to detonate in eight seconds. Cina placed the grenade in the middle of the two canisters and rushed back to the safety of the cliff face. The moment she was out of the drone's field of vision she deactivated the cloak and tossed the belt back to Revan. Two seconds after that the grenade went off, the High Explosive upgrade only made the ensuing explosion more violent as the walkway they were on shock from vicious event.

After the shacking finished T3 reported that all of the geth in that area were no longer transmitting a signal. Benezia then warned the team, "We're almost to the facility. The geth will put up a better defense inside."

A/N: Sorry I had to end just before the base but I like to keep to my standards(that includes the 3,000-4000 word limit per chapter though I do overexced ever chapter or so). The armors I had Cina show Benezia I alway liked using them on my non-Force using compainions(like Mission Vao or Bao-Dur before becoming a Force user) and admitingly they were rather decent sets of armor, they're were better one but still. Moving on, HK's little rant, now this one could be trimmed but if it was it wouldn't be HK-47 otherwise. The thing with T3 and the hologram on his back, my terrible way of saying his version of an omni-tool as he kept the geth trooper under control, like AI hack but constantly maintained until it was destroyed.
