So chapter 2 here we go, so I'm going to try to stay as true to form as possible with this story but like I said there will be divergence from it. So last chapter I said the OC would be OP and that is true but I failed to explain he is powerful but he also has a lot of political power by selling things like improved medigel and tech to governments he has gotten a lot of weight in them so just wanted to clear that up.

Also if any one wants to beta this story PM me as it would be welcome.

And with that lets begin.

As Sheperd was brought to his ship for medical care they brought the three soilders who had helped so they could debrief them , as they had been witnesses to a top secret op.

As they got Sheperd to a medical officer, the three soilders are questioned by Anderson and the rest of the ground team.

" I hope you understand that we needed to brief you." Anderson explained

The leader of the three takes the lead in the conversation " Yes we understand and are willing to cooperate with you."

Anderson was relieved, he was use to mercenarys and freelancers being difficult with authority.

" Can you tell us who you are and why you arrived on Eden Prime in such force?"

" We were on a misson to rescue and secure as many civilians as possible from the battle site."

Ashley asked " Who gave you your misson, it must be someone with deep pockets form all the cavalry you brought with you?"

Williams had no idea how right she was as Prometheus had sold tech and equipment to every race and government, had shares in most of the large businesses in the galaxy , and help 40% of the citadel space economy making them the most well funded organization to ever exist.

" We were sent bye the commander of Prometheus, Hades why we don't exactly know but grunts aren't always told alot."

"Amen to that" Alenko said.

"Would it be possible to speak to the commander of your organization?" Anderson questioned.

Now they started to get a little wary the last person to try to talk to Hades put a bullet in his chest so there trust was low.

Finally the woman of the group asked " What would you want to see him for?"

They were suprised at the sudden turn from cooperative to ice cold.

Ash asked " Why the sudden change of tone when we mentioned this Hades guy I mean he is just your benefactor right?"

The woman looked steaming " He's more then that , he's an inspiration to fight , a soilder who will always have your back, and a leader we would follow into hell itself because we know he would lead us out the other side, thats what he is to us. Many of the operators for Prometheus had no future or were going down a dark path but he pulled them back and gave us a reason to live, so you tell me how you would react Williams."

The alliance soilders were stunned, they were career soilders and everyone of them belived in something bigger then themselves but the way the woman talked they knew she meant it , they wouldn't even hesitate if there leader lead them into their death , they would follow him , Gladly.

The one who started the conversation put a hand on the woman's shoulder " Calm down Alice we knew this would happen when we revealed ourselves, but if we want trust we must first put forth trust."

The woman calmed down instantly and the man said " You want to speak to Hades?"

Anderson confirmed " Yes there's much I would like to discuss with him."

The man thought for a moment before he reached up and removed his helmet.

" Well you have my attention Admiral Anderson so what deal would you like to make with the devil?"

The man in front of them was young but had a look of one who had seen war for years he had black hair and blue eyes but with a glow to them that spoke of cybernetics, he had a scar over his left eye starting on his eyebrow and ending halfway down his cheek.

Ashley said the fisrt thing that came to mind " Aren't you a little young to leading a military?"

The other two with him looked pissed and they almost thought they would reach for there weapons.

Hades calmed them down " Please forgive them they can be protective at times, and to awnser your question Ash no I've been fighting battles since I was 13 and training for battle since I could walk."

They were stunned while practiced by turians to some degree , and even then the youngest are in training for 3 years, children as soilders was looked badly by on by the galaxy at large.

Anderson took control of the conversation " How did you know to go to eden prime, the alliance sent a fleet buts its hours away?"

Hades looked at him " Did you think every major group in the galaxy wasn't watching eden prime? It was the farthest humanity's successfully cocolonized and was right on the edge of the terminus system."

Anderson couldn't fault him there , the alliance had to use two fleets to protect all the ships when eden prime was being constructed it would be raided so often.

Alenko couldn't help himself " Was the deal with the devil bit required?"

"No but I thought it appropriately dramatic."

Anderson asked " Why did you intervene on eden prime?"

"Do I need a reason to try to save a couple hundred lives?"

At that point the medical officer told them that Sheperd was waking up and they went to see him.

Hades knew as soon as he saw Sheperd that the beacon showed him something.

Prometheus had more knowledge on prothean technology, culture, and language then any other group in the galaxy , even the asari with there secret.

So he knew that the protheans had some form of telepathic abilities and how it could imprint on someone.

As they walked to him Hades asked first" What did you see, what did the beacon show you."

The alliance personal were about to ask if he was okay when Sheperd replied.

" Death, destruction, synthetics killing millions."

" So they did leave warnings, I wonder if they left anything else."

Ashley " I'm sorry is there something we're missing here or have you both gone insane?"

Hades answered her " The protheans had telepathic like abilities and worked that into there technology, it seem whatever they left in that beacon was a warning, Sheperd likely can't decipher it because he lacks prothean physiology and by extension the telepathic abilities."

Anderson realized right then that even talking to this man was so above his pay grade he could be charged with treason for potentially mucking up negotiations with a highly advanced group. He would have to get this man in front of the Council, and possibly the parliament.

Anderson had to talk to Sheperd alone so the rest left and Ashley asked" So how did you come to command Prometheus?"

" I was raised to be a warrior and its all I ever knew, but one day I looked back on the battles I fought and the missons I completed and asked myself ' Am I fighting for the right side' and didn't like my awnser, so I called everyone I knew I could count on and we left but we couldn't just stop its all I know and all they've known for years, so we started Prometheus, a paramilitary mercenary group that owns several businesses and and charities that help the galaxy at large."

They were going to continue, but Anderson and Sheperd came out of the med bay.

Sheperd told everyone " Get ready people we're on our way fo the Citadel to talk to the council "

Okay I'm sorry for the long wait on this chapter things just kept piling up, but I should be good to keep writing now, also let me know how do you guys feel about Hades being OP and how am I doing on the soilders personalitys, just curious what you guys think any way thanks for reading and have a good one .
