Authors note: sorry for the wait, things happened!

This chapter might seem like a lot doesn't happen, but there is a lot going on in the city and the vents that happen before reinforcements will be many, so this is just the start of the invasion of Shanxi in essence!

Also, I've taken to naming chapters now, both for your and my own sakes and am trying to figure out what the alliances Antrhem/theme music/song would be, so if you have any suggestions toss e m to me via pm!

"Victus, Sir. Permission to ask a question, sir." Desolas asked Adrien Victus as they led their groups to their objective, a gate into the Alien City. Desolas's platoon hardly changed the size of the division Adiren commanded, but for some reason Victus had requested that Desolas walk with him at the front.

"Granted, what do you want to know?" Adrien replied instantly.

"Sir, some of your people seems, wary, nervous even. Did something happen before my platoon had arrived?"

Adrien was quiet for a few seconds before nodding. "My men are confused and, I guess disturbed is the right word. I don't know if you got a good look at those aliens, but they looked like small off color Asari, like children. They flew in, screaming, laughing, and attacking us all at once. Even as some were killed they others kept laughing like they were having fun. The fact that all those glowing lights remained after they died, it didn't help either. If their entire race looks like that, I'd understand, but if they don't, then what kind of monsters would send children to their deaths? And what kind of children would look so, happy about it? It is disturbing to think about."

"I agree. None of them had armour of any kind, and they did not look armed either. Do we know what they were firing at your people?"

"No idea. Our scanners barely picked anything. Some of those, lights I guess, some of them hit hard, while others simply caused slight burning or a kinetic push. There seemed to be no reason to it either, and the fact they are natural biotics just makes it-"

"They're not Biotics." Desolas interrupted.

"What do you mean? They float so freely and then there were their attacks. How could it be anything but Biotics?"

"We found three of them on the way to you and one of my people managed some detailed scans of them and the area around them. No element Zero readings, not even a trace of them. There were no mass effect fields either."

Adrien was silent for a moment before letting out a sigh. "I hope the general is looking forward to the ridiculous reports he will receive then."

"I thought the General was staying on his ship in orbit?" Desolas asked, a hint of anger welling up in his voice. A hint that Adrien noticed.

"Yes, but his subordinates are the ones on the ground. Apparently they are forwarding notices to him on the situation. In a way I hope this becomes difficult, maybe then he will rethink this awful strategy."

"You don't agree with it?"

"No. a frontal attack on a city with AA capable of taking out a light cruiser in a matter of seconds is a bad idea. We have no Intel on these aliens, or their weaponry or tactics. We're going in blind, and he wants us to walk right in. it's like asking a krogan to shoot you in the face. He'll do it with a smile."

Desolas nodded in grim understanding. Adrien clearly was not against the General himself, but he was very clearly against is orders and strategy. It was rare for a Turian to complain about a strategy when it had been decided on by their superiors though, so maybe Adrien fancied himself a tactician.

After more walking, they finally came through the forest without encountering more aliens, and the sight before them was, surprising to say the least. Standing in front of them was a wall made of solid metal. They could see no rivets, lines or anything of the like to say how it was made, but it was nearly twenty meters in height, and looked completely solid. Inset In the wall itself was a massive opening, likely a gate of some sort with no door, and outside it, hundreds of Turians were working hard, cutting into the forest and clearing space while forward buildings and tents were set up on either side of the gate.

Over the noise of work and toil though, both Adiren and Desolas could hear the sounds of Accelerator weapons from behind the walls, and occasionally other sounds that they could not begin to understand.

"Dam. Now were making a base camp right at the enemy's front door while attacking. Too many people are going to lose their lives to these stupid orders." Adrien muttered as he turned to Desolas. "Right, may as well head down and find out what our new orders are."

". . . They are not doing as well as we figured they would, are they?" General Williams stated with a sigh as he stood over a large table that showed a top down view of Xi'an. The map showed the location of all friendly units by faintly glowing green dots, the barriers of each defensive line by black lines, and the traps that lined streets and buildings with pink lights. The alien forces were shown by red blips, and their locations controlled by a network of people sifting computer and communications data, and Yuuka, who sat contently at one end of the map, sometimes tapping a panel on the edge and changing the locations of some enemy blips.

"Of course they are not." Yuuka said with a dismissive wave of her hand. "We were prepared for their attacks and took defensive measures. While most of our population would prefer being on the offense, myself included, we are hardly incapable in defence. Laser rifles, Beam turrets and Pulse cannon emplacements at each barrier appear to be severely dampening their ability to near them, and our peopled magical prowess simply adds to it.

Williams looked to Yuuka and smiled. "The fact you are using your sunflowers across the city to spy on their positions likely does not help the matter either." Yuuka just smiled in reply, making Williams shake his head with a smile as he walked a bit further down the map and looked at the section outside the city, focusing on the area where the aliens were setting up a forward camp. "they took out most of the fairy's that are in the forest and are now making a camp right at both the south and east gates. I've ordered our people at the barriers facing those gates to not fire until the aliens cross the threshold into the city. It appears to be working for keeping them at bay for now. But as soon as they manage to bring in vehicles, artillery or air forces those first barriers will be in trouble.

"They barely landed an hour ago. Even if they are fast, I doubt they can set up forces that quickly when still landing troops." Yuuka commented as she tapped her panel, causing a ping at the growing enemy camp on the other side of the great forest. "The forest is five kilometers thick in its narrowest sections. They may have taken out most of the fairies, but as soon as they resurrect, they will understand the real meaning of harassment." Yuuka said with a sadistic grin.

"True. Unless they burn the whole forest, the fairy's will keep coming. Even if they do burn it down, some fairy's still might survive and just change element. That can be worse sometimes."

"Yes. I recall the one time Cirno became Electric for a week. She was smarter, faster, and more powerful. It was its own incident that no one could deal with." Yuuka said with a shiver before glancing at the panel and smirking. "It appears some of those aliens tried climbing the outer wall. They now know it is mined at the top." Yuuka said simply with a chuckle.

"Poor bastards." Williams said as the door to the command room opened, and four individuals stepped inside. The first one in was David Anderson, looking slightly worse for wear since the last time Williams saw him. With him was Jack harper, a human the same age, but built far thinner than David was, with a head of silvery blonde gray hair. His eyes were deep steely blue, and yet had a fire in them that few could compete with. Both of them were skilled magicians in their own rights, specializing in completely apposing elements to such an extent that they actually complemented each other's styles.

Beside jack stood Eva Core, a Gorgon Youkai with blonde hair and eyes grey like stone. She held herself like an active weapon, always alert and ready to strike. When nothing was happening she would look bored or expectant because of this, but she was in truth patient enough in most matters, especially ones where she could make her foes suffer or feel terror.

Then there was Kahlee sanders, a Half Lunarian whose gaze could be best described as emotional, yet calculating. She cared little for using magic, or fighting in close quarters if it could be helped, and instead carried a Type 7 Pulse rifle, affectionately nicknamed the arbalest, slung over her back. It was a brutal weapon, not powerful enough to destroy heavy vehicles, but its rate of fire made up for its lack of anti-armor power. It could fire four dozen pulses a minute, saturating an area in energized death, and was more than capable of halting infantry and light vehicles cold all on its own. It was one of the longest produced technological weapons in existence, falling behind only the Type 2 Laser rifle.

All four of them stood at attention, waiting for Williams to give orders, and surely enough, he had just the thing in mind. "Good, you are here. I have a mission for the four of you, one I think you may find interesting! I'd like you to canvas the city, acting as an assistance force to any Barrier, or defensive groups that need the assistance. Additionally, I'd like you to take out any groups of alien stragglers, leaving one alive from each group. Any of their technology that can be taken should be as well, so the R&D techs that are coming with our reinforcements can have things to look at immediately. Any questions?"

"Yes sir." Jack Harper said as he took a half step forward. "Not that I am complaining about our orders, but are we not supposed to be defensive until our reinforcing arrive?"

"Yes, that is why only four of you are doing this. All other forces are acting defensively, and will not move from their positions unless their defensive lines fall. I'm giving you four this mission because I believe it will fit you better than sitting at a barrier. Correct?"

Jack nodded as he took a step back, prompting Eva to step forward. "Sir, why are you specifying that we leave an alien alive if we encounter groups of stragglers of scouts?"

"We have a platoon of Red Eyes, and three platoons of Blade Breakers coming with our reinforcements, in addition to a platoon of EarthRazers. The Red eyes and Blade Breakers will have an easier time of snapping the enemy's morale if they already have some, unbelievable horror stories of our potential power. So we'll give them such stories. Understood?" Eva grinned evilly, her eyes seeming to shine for a second as she stepped back with a nod.

For a moment no one moved, until Kahlee stepped forward. "I assume we are to not allow our own technology to fall into their hands, but how open to tactics and equipment use are we sir? Are we using just weapons, or magic and innate capabilities as well, or just one of them?"

"I will not limit your choices if it keeps you alive. You can use whatever you deem necessary, but yes, do not allow our technology into their hands if it can be helped."

"That includes bodies!" Yuuka suddenly exclaimed as she looked at the four of them with a smile, making all of them shiver involuntarily. "I doubt many on Shanxi want their body experimented on if they passed, and fewer would want information learned from such a thing used against their allies. Don't let out peoples bodies fall into their hands either if it can be helped."

Davis and Kahlee looked sickened by Yuuka's words, while Jack and Eva merely looked solemn. All of them agreed with a silent nod however, making Yuuka smile as she went back to tapping a panel.

"As vile as such a thing is, it is necessary. You have your orders, and as soon as the first-"Williams began to say, until a Moon rabbit walked up to his side and bowed.

"General, sir! First defense line barrier are reporting the appearance or Alien Armour joining the fray, sir." Williams turned to the rabbit and nodded." Alert all forces to this and tell the first line to prepare to fall back on my orders, or if their positions become unfeasible to hold."

"Yes sir!" The rabbit said as she turned and bound off.

"You have your orders, and as you've heard, you may have a substantial area to operate in soon enough, as the first defensive line may need to pull back and join the second. Dismissed!" Williams waited until all four of them left the room before turning back to the map table. How much did I miss, how badly are they hitting us now that they have vehicles?"

Yuuka sighed and pinged a barrier on the map with a large force of aliens approaching I, sizable blocky shapes pulling up behind them. "Not good."

Hadrus Vakerian coughed as he rolled on the ground and pulled himself up off the ground, using the nearly arrived Tanks that had come to join the offensive on the alien Barriers. The Jiris infantry fighting vehicle was an Excellent Turian Vehicle, capable of Carry a half dozen Turians into the fight if it needed to. It was equipped with a mass accelerator machine gun that had side slung Grenade launchers, and on the back it held two short ranged missiles for when it really needed to break things. It hovered through mass effect fields projected from a smaller mass effect core, allowing it to traverse nearly any environment and while it was called an infantry fighting vehicle, many simply called it the tank, because it could take a substantial amount of enemy fire due to its strong shielding and thick composite armour.

When Hadrus's division had been ordered to be the vanguard, everyone had ben looking forward to it, both to test their mettle against these new aliens, and to see what they were truly capable. Urban warfare was always preferred over Rural by Turians and a massive city felt like an excellent place to fight and prove that they were superior. Unfortunately, the aliens were not cooperating from the get go.

Their alien city was strange for many reasons. It had a massive wall of metal circling it that was mined at the top, yet the buildings inside the city were not made just of steel like the wall made many suspect. Most buildings appeared to be made of stone, wood and glass, and there were large open green spaces, some with massive trees or patterned rocks lying about, and others with strange yellow plants in them, giving it a strange feel. The streets were wide and uncluttered with many Alleys and side streets blocked off by the clutter that likely had been on other streets. This meant they could only move down so many routes easily, and these routes led straight to the Alien Defensive lines barriers.

The barriers were walls of metal plated stone that rose nearly three meters high from the street with no immediate way around. There was always a substantial open space between roads and the barriers at their ends, creating kill zones without cover, and the barrier they were at appeared to have numerous turreted emplacements upon it. Emplacements that seemed to scatter shots of hot red energy out at them. These shots ignored shields completely and burned holes right through some peoples armour if it hit a joint of other spot that needed mobility. some were struck in the torso's, and while the shits did not pierce their bodies completely, they would burn through armor and into the person torso, cauterizing at it went, often leading to wounds that could not be tended to easily or at all, leaving the inured in grievous pain. Their commanding officer scoffed at what everyone thought these shots were, but everyone knew he agreed and was simply following protocol. They were being shot at with pure heat. Direct energy. Lasers!

The barrier had two emplacements that fired the lasers in broad cones, saturating an area and making advancing nearly impossible. Some tried to snipe the aliens on the barriers turrets, only to find that the guns on the barrier were protected by some sort of shielding that glowed differing colors. Those same Ones who tried sniping then would become prime target for every gun on the lien barrier, endangering everyone around them.

Worse still was the third and central alien emplacement on the barrier, a turret that seemed to release a continuous beam of green blue energy. this beam was not ignored by kinetic barriers, but it was so powerful that being hit for even a half second caused most people's barriers to cut out completely, and the aliens took advantage of this fact, using the turret in long wide firing arcs, striking everyone at the front line once, then coming back around again, cutting into the armour and flesh of those who did not immediately seek cover, whether that be an ally or simply dropping to the ground.

The advance had ground to a halt from the aliens defences, and without artillery or air support many Turians began voicing opinions that it would be best to regroups and wait for such support. Then Jiris Tanks floated up and joined the fray, giving the advancing forces the cover, and fire support they needed.

Five Jiris had arrived to accompany them. Three of them pulled to the front, acting as a vanguard like wall, while the other two stayed at the back of the force, lobbing grenades over their ally's heads toward the alien's barrier. The three at the front immediate less loose with their cannons, spraying mass accelerator rounds over the barrier, saturating it in bolts of blue. Colored shields around the alien emplacements began shattering, and their fire dropped down to nearly nothing, they were unable to stick their heads from fear of the Jiris's, and the Turian infantry took advantage of that, one Jiris fired constantly till its accelerator cannon overheated, then another took its place while it cooled. With three Jiris doing this, the aliens could not fire back, and the Turian forces had the opening they needed. With the Jiris leading the way, they began advancing once again toward the alien barrier.

There was no response rom the barrier at all as they closed in on it, then when they were barely twenty meters away from it, the aliens reacted in a way the Turians should have seen coming. They began lobbing explosives over the barrier itself at the advancing force. Hadrus figured it would end the same way as such tactics always did, the grenades from their lower velocity would pass through their barrier and bounce of their armour, alerting anyone nearby to step back, allowing their kinetic barrier to take the force of the explosion and its forces. Then he noticed that the explosive being thrown looked like they were glowing like fire, and then everything went to hell.

The first explosive landed on a Jiris, bypassing its shields and exploding as soon as it hit the main gun, covering it in roaring flames. Another landed on the ground between two Turians, exploding in a blast of white light that sent both of them flying sideways into their fellows, ignoring their shields completely. Another struck a Turian in the chest, flash freezing him in place, and another seemed to electrify one of the Jiris it landed on, causing its shied to spark and sputter. Other attacks seemly turned into a masses of vines that strangled and grappled others, while more of every kind of attack was lobbed over the barrier.

It was complete chaos, and once the centre most Jiris suddenly exploded; the other two seemingly had enough and began firing their cannons in tandem, alongside barrages of grenades, pounding the barrier with a veritable wall of explosives and accelerator rounds, hoping to stop the tide of grenades that were killing their comrades.

After a minute both Jiris's guns overheated and the fire stopped. Noting happened. A couple seconds, a minute, two minutes, five. No more strange grenades were lobbed over the barrier, no guns came on line, nothing. In fact some, Hadrus' included, noticed the gun emplacements that had been on the barrier were now gone. Had they been destroyed by their fire? If they had it was a good thing, but the barrier itself was still intact. Its outer plating was gone, and the stone underneath pitted and scarred, but still whole and fully standing. Just what was it made of?

"Breaching charges!" a CO called many officers acting on his order and moving to the barrier itself. The charges were all placed as high ad everyone could reach, and once they were clear, they were detonated, and the top meter and a half of the barrier was blown from existence. Now able to see overtop of it, though just barely, anyone near it could make out people running in the distance, away from the barrier. The aliens had abandoned it! "Good job everyone! Climb the barrier! We continue to move forward! They can't run forever!" The CO called out.

Everyone moved to follow the order, Hadrus included, but when he climbed up on to the top of the barrier something suddenly felt wrong. Then a turian took a couple steps forward and was suddenly engulfed in flames, his screams eclipsed by the roaring fire as his body fell to the ground, the smell of burning flesh hitting everyone in an instant.

"By the spirits, what just-"one female Turian said in horror as she took a step away from the body. Hadrus saw it happen as her foot touched the ground, and his eyes opened in surprise. As her foot came down, a ring of light pulsed up around her foot, covered in strange angular shapes and smooth curves, and then shrunk down into nothing ness. Then a massive bolt of electricity coursed through the female Turian, making her body twitch and begin to smoke before it finally stopped, and her body dropped to the ground lifelessly.

"Mines! Nobody move!" Harris called out, causing every Turian on the barrier, and climbing it, to freeze like ice, just as a mine went off and froze one solid. Hadrus couldn't make sense of it. There was no metal underfoot, no click of a detonator like old style mines once had, and no senor pinging either. A circle of light, then bang, fire, electricity, ice. It was like the magic from old stories of early Palaven, when the titans roamed the planet, only it had happened right in front of him. Something like magic. "Scan for mines." He said, quickly pulling his Omnitool out and scanning the area around himself, just as everyone began doing, refusing to move their feet.

"Clear!"

"Clear."

"Clear, I'm not picking up anything."

Hadris nodded as his Omnitools scanner picked up nothing either. "Clear. We should be safe, unless their mines can't be picked up by our scanners."

"The must have been lucky to be able to place some before we-" A turian said as she took a step forward, arrogantly shrugging as he spoke. Hadrus saw it happen, again. Her foot came down, a blueish white circle appeared where she stepped then disappeared down to nothing, and in that same instant her leg froze solid, the Ice forming up her body in a single second, leaving her completely solid.

"H-How. We checked! There were no mines!" A Turian said in fear as he glanced around, unwilling to move his feet.

"A ring of light appeared at her feet, then she froze. . . .Wait, is she still alive?!" Hadrus asked suddenly, others closer to her pulling out their omnitools and scanning the frozen body.

After a few seconds of silence a Turian with his face covered red face paint shook his head slowly. "No heat signature. No life signs, not even an electrical signal from her armour. All my scanner is picking up is ice."

"That's impossible! This is impossible!" One Turian said with a roar as he turned and began walking down the barrier, or would have until he took a step, a light ring appearing around his foot as he stepped away from it. It exploded as he went, throwing him forward down the barrier onto the roadway with a crack. A second later he got up and turned to everyone else with what accounted for a grin among Turians. "See, nothing to it!"

Everyone looked at him with scowls and thoughts of how lucky he was. The backside of his armour had burns on it, especially worse around his ankles, but it had held together. Would everyone else's though?

As if all thinking the same thing everyone sprinted down the barrier embankment, Rings of light kicking up behind them as they ran, creating explosions, jolts of electricity and sudden spikes of ice to form. Miraculously, everyone made it down the barrier though some peoples armours were damaged severely, and others had been injure in the action.

"What, what was that?" Hadrus asked out loud as he looked back at what remained of the barrier, small crystals of ice the only proof they had been in danger just seconds before. "Rings of light, fire ice, and electricity. Just what kind of technology is this race capable of?"

"I don't know, but I don't like it!" one Turian commented, breathing heavily as he did.

"The Jiris commanders just said they can't get their Jiris's over the Barriers remains. there's reinforcements on route with additional breaching charges to break it down. We have orders to hold here until the barrier is destroyed."

"Great, now we get to guard a hunk of rock that nearly killed us." one said as he kicked a rock at the barrier, it bouncing a bit before stopping, and a ring of light forming under it, then exploding. "Oh spirits."

Hadrus ignored his allies comment as he looked around, something seeming vey off all of a sudden. Getting a better look at many of the building he noticed a couple of distinct styles, yet there seemed to be no reason as to why buildings were one or the other. Different buildings had different kinds of signs on them; signs with what Hadrus were sure were differing type of writing, very different forms of writing. But what bothered him was the barrier itself, and the distinct lack of weapons, or bodies on and around it. The aliens had held them back for over an hour and killed dozens of Turians, yet they left nothing behind when they retreated from the barrier. There were no bodies, no weapons, and no emplacements. Not even a fleck of metal or piece of garbage. Either they had taken no losses, or the aliens had carried their dead along with them when they retreated, and both options worried Hadrus greatly. If they took no losses, it would mean terrible things for the Hierarchy, and if they went so far as to carry their dead away, it could mean numerous things. It could simply be a cultural thing, a need to preserve equipment, or perhaps a desire to not let their dead go to unknown forces. Either way, it left them with little to go on, especially since the only information they had on these aliens was strange and nonsensical reports from the forest, and the grainy vids of the aliens retreating at a distance.

"The area looks clear, but we should keep our guard up, no telling what these aliens are capable if they can create invisible tech mines." One Turian suddenly said, catching Hadrus's attention.

"That I can agree with," Hadris said as he glanced around, suddenly realizing how tired he was. "We should get some rest too, something tells me that we'll need it."

Codex

Jiris infantry combat vehicle - A Turian Hovercraft vehicle that mounts an accelerator cannon, grenade launchers and missiles. It is a mainstay for Turian ground forces, capable of traversing nearly any surface and can be atmospherically sealed for low gravity or atmosphere worlds.

Turian Combat Doctrine - Turian combat doctrine is straightforward, focusing on brutal tactics to put down enemy forces so hard they cannot get back up again. Many less experienced or straightforward Turians themselves see this as meaning to attack from the front so they can take down the enemy's main forces, but Turians that have experience or differing views see the need to incorporate real strategy into their operations, something many unexperienced generals do not do.

Turian military forces are combined, meaning Infantry can request assistance from artily, vehicles and air support when needed, and can even call for orbital strikes when not on a garden world.

Type 7 Pulse rifle – Arbalest - The Type 7 pulse rifle, nicknamed the arbalest, is an infantry scale Pulse weapon that operates more on the idea of quantity over quality to deal damage. the explosions from its pulses are only barely a meter in diameter, but with its rapid fire rate of nearly 48 shots a minute, it can saturate an area with explosions, effectively halting enemy infantry, and while they are designed for it, their pulses can damage vehicular armour if enough shots land around one area. it is well loved and used, many preferring it over beam weapons that require greater accuracy.

Type 2 Laser rifle – Cyclops - The type 2 laser rifle is the main laser weapon for alliance ground forces. It looks similar to an advanced pre-alliance human design, with a handle, stock, main body and barrel covered in hard plating. Because Laser weapons have no kinetic value to the shots, the type 2 has no recoil when firing, leaving the stock to be more for keeping your accuracy up, and not keeping recoil down. For this reason, the type 2's stock can be extended to match the length of a person's arms.

The Type 2 has a rotating Heat exchange system located on its left side commonly called a heat wheel. The heat wheel is comprised of a circular plate, that hold three separate semi solid Heat Cores, Metal and synthetic partially hollow cylinders that store and disperse heat. Firing the weapon will generate excess heat that is stored in a core. When a core is full, the heat wheel pushes out of the type 2's right side by an inch, spins, and then pulls back into the gun. When it does this, the filled heat core is moved to a spot on the heat wheels upper edge that exposes it to the atmosphere and a small silent fan, that begin blowing to move heat off the core and into the air. A heat core takes roughly fifteen seconds to cool sufficiently, and twenty five to cool completely.

The type 2 has two firing modes, Semi and auto, with firing rates different for each mode.

Semi fires each time the trigger is pulled individually, and is the most commonly used mode as it allows the wielder to control their fire and the accumulation of heat.

Auto fires as long as the trigger is pulled and is used rarely unless there is a need for it, as a Heat core can fill with heat as quickly as in ten seconds.

The type 2, replaced the old type 1 laser rifle, due to being better designed and having more reliable features and capabilities.
