Chapter 8 Wrath
4 months had pass since Spectre Zenis and her little group had been told about a new race of sentience machines that had wipe out several Turian ships along with one STG ship. For the last months Zenis had been outfitting her ship with both tech and crew that would help her get past the machines defences. And now finally they were going to see if all that money would pay off, Laus and Meto were the first 2 that came, the Salarian twins would not come until 2 hours had past. Once they arrived the all went on board Zenis ship, it was something between a corvette and a frigate. Small enough to not require a large crew and being fast, but still large enough to have some firepower and could be outfitted with more gear if it needed to. As Zenis lead her new co-work through her ship she let them know were things were and who was among the crew. The Spectres also ran into the 4 Quarians that Zenis had hire, greetings were exchange before the 4 Quarians went back to their tinkering.
"And here is were you can stay." Zenis said showing a rather small room with 4 beds.
"We could´t have gotten anything a bit bigger." Laus said.
"Not really, the Quarian needed space for a workshop to tinker with and all this new tech as been taking up space. Be glad that I did´t just put some sleeping bags out in the mess hall."
"Besides this is not the first time any of us has been sharing beds with other. So you should´t really complain Laus." Aelol said as he and his sister drop their gear on their beds. Meto follow soon clamming on of the top beds. Laus just sigh as he walk in and took the last bed, while Zenis headed up to the bridge. "So are we ready to leave."
"Yes ma´am, all system are green and the new stuff are working. Heading toward relay 502." Zenis captain said as the ship pull out from Citadel dock and went through its relay and towards the 502. As they came to the cluster that held it they were meet by one of the patrol ships. Sparatus had manage to get a few more ships to be station their.
"Hail them and tell them we are going through, start up the system as well, I don´t want the machines to know that we are passing though."
"Yes ma´am."

Yorha BUNKER
/
In command centre Commander White along with almost every Yorha unit were standing in the room watching the large screen, watching a feed showing the H unit on the moon base. They were about to try the medic gel mix to see if they could safely wake up mankind. Every Yorha unit were anxious to see if this would work, that after 10000 years humanity would finally come back.
6H was the unit leader of the H-units that had been place to monitor and work on trying to get mankind back to life. She was currently standing next to one of the cryo-pods with 2 other H units while 3 were standing at a panel.
"Everything is ready to go ma´am."
"Then lets not wait any longer, inject the medic gel into pod 42976."
"Yes, ma´am." 99H said as she and the other H unit started with their work. Liquid medic gel were being injected to the cryo-pod and the H-unit read the data regarding its effect on the human body while they stared the defrost process.
"Status."
"Everything seems fine ma´am, brain activity is starting to kick in. Hearth beat is steadily raising. "
Mins past by before one of the H-unit said that it was fine opening the pod. 6H press a button that open it´s door, as the door open the 2 other H-unit´s gently help the human out. The man was tall around 6 feet and his skin lightly tan and short dark hair.
"W,,were am I?" He said as he look around groggy, his vison foggy as they were open for the first time in a long time.
"Welcome back sir, you are the first human to be awaken from cryo-sleep. How do you feel?"
"C,,cold."
6H gently giggle as she order one of the H-unit to get a blanked. Once she got it, she wrap it around the man.
"Now sir, we are going to have to monitor your body as it has been in cryo for a long time. All of this is to make sure that it function 100%, you will be staying a nice warm room in the mean time while we defrost the rest of humanity and wait for the result on your body."
"R,,,right. Ca,,,can you please tell me how long I have been asleep at lease?"
"I am sorry sir but I have been order not to tell you, other then that its been a long time."
"O,,,oh ok."
"Now sir before I let you go, I want to see if you can recalled what you last saw before cryo sleep and what your name is."
"I,,I remember talk about some sort of disease going, killing millions of people and that some of us were selected to be send to the moon or something."
"Mm, thank you sir and your name please."
"M,,my name is Kelvin Morson.
"Well mister Morson, welcome back to the land of the living." 6H said as she wrote that down and nodded for the other H-units to take him to his room. They nodded and help him up and walk to the room, meanwhile 6H and 99H started the process of waking up the remaining 4999.
In the BUNKER´s command centre the Yorha units were cheering, to see humanity back now. It was as a huge weight had lifted from their shoulders, all the years of fighting seemed to have been worth it just to see this moment.
But as they cheered one of the oprator heard her panel bip, turning around and check her screen to see what it was that her satellite had pick up her eyes widen.
"COMMANDER."

Earlier, at relay 502
/
"Your clear to pass through Spectre, good luck." The Turian captain of the patrol fleet outside of relay 502 said to Zenis, as he let her ship pass by his fleet and through the relay. Once the ship was through the relay, Zenis´s captain started to activate all the new tech that would hopefully hinder the machines from hacking into their system.
"Status report."
"It seems to be green so far, lets just pray to the goddess that this work Zen." The captain said as she took the ship deeper into the enemy system, taking long routes that would go between the planet to make harder for satellites to see them. With every min passing by they got closer and closer towards the planet that were their enemy´s home planet. They pass by the red planet and could see the space station that the enemy must been using to hack the other ships, they fear that they would be target soon but nothing happened.
"Right, seem that all this tech work Zen."
"Yeah but we can´t go much longer, they will see us if we pass through that station. Head toward the planets moon we will land their and once we get the chance we will head to the planet and start our work."
"If you say so Zen." The captain said as she did as she was told, but as they got close to the moon the ships engines die.

Yorha BUNKER
/
Commander White along with all the other Yorha units in the room turn around and look at the operator that had yelled, and when said operator show them what she had seen on the screen, the commander eyes widen. On the screen their was a council ship heading towards the moon, were humanity were. White grab the railing in front of her and grip it so hard and push it down with enough force to bend it almost of the platform she was on. Her eyes and so with every other were burning with anger, their normal eye colour change to pure red.
"YORHA BATTLE STATION." White shouted out and all combat units rush out towards the hanger and the armoury, while the operator started to work on hacking the enemy ship. It took a little longer then normal but finally they manage to hack and shut down the ships engines.
"Shall we open communication ma´am?"
"NO, just turn their engines off, I will go along with the combat units and kill them all slowly. They don´t deserve a quick death." White said as she left the room and headed to the armoury and hanger taking her own personal gear. Yorha did not have many flight units left after the war and not many had been built since the end of the war, instead large transport ships had been built after the war to transport units to and from earth. But those would not be use today, they were to slow. Instead the remaining flight units about 17 would be use, commander White´s stood out amongst the others. Hers was a bit larger, having more protection and fire power then the comment flight units and it was pure white compare to the grey steel. White´s heavy armour were white as well, and the others were grey or black. Just like with the flight units, their was only a few heavy armour left and they were given to the G-units, the A, B, and F units would have no, but thy rarely had been using them during the war anyway. A2 and 2B were given each one a flight unit, same went for G40 and 3 other G-units. Once all 17 flight units were ready, they flew out from the BUNKER and headed towards the ship, White in charge.
Meanwhile onboard Zenis ship, the crew were trying get control over the ship. The Quarians were doing their best to fight back from the hacking done by Yorha, but they were too slow compare to the machine. Cut out machine and 10 more took over.
"Cut the power we are using the manual controls." Zenis order. Her crew did so, but not before the captain manage to say. "WE GOT HOSTILE INCOMING."
"Right, EVERYONE ARM UP WE GOT ENEMY COMING FOR US." Zenis shouted as she went to grab her weapons. The other four Spectres did so as well along with the four Quarians and Zenis´s crew. They pull loose the mess table and use it as a cover and put up shield barrier. Since most of the crew were asari´s they started to charge up self-barrier around them and were ready to us their powers against the attacker. Every gun were aim at the 2 doors that were connected to the hanger, were the only place they enemy could come from. The ship shook lightly and their was the sound of an exploration that came from the other side of the door.
Yorha units had blasted holes into the council ship´s hanger port and were now landing inside. White and the other Yorha units anger in their eyes look at the two doors that they could pass. "A2 you take the left on along with the rest of the A and B units. 2B you take the right one after G40 has blown it open."
"Can I kill as many as I want,,,Commander." A2 said.
"Yes you can, you can all do that."
A2 smile and giggle sickly and to 2B´s surprise she did so as well. A2 and her unit went to the left sword drawn and ready. G40 line her railgun up and aim, she charge it on to max and fire. The door and a good chunk of the side wall were blown away at the same time A2 cut down the door and she rush in along with her units. 2B did the same on the right side. As they entered the mess hall they were greeted with fire from the council units, their bullets tearing up the synthetic skin but shatter as soon as they made contact with the exoskeleton. Soon biotic bombardment of pull, throw and stasis were hitting the androids stopping 3 of them. But it did not stop A2 that got close to slice up asari crew member, cleaving her in half. 2B dodge around fire around her and trusted her sword into another asari´s skull. G40 and her G units open fire, cutting down several of the asari´s that were standing out in the open relaying on their barrier, which lasted for only a few shoots before they were down and their weak armour were burn open or their heads were being blown up from the massive heat pressure.
All of this happen with in a few seconds, almost a min and Laus could feel that this was not going well and so did the Salarian Talan twins as well. They pull out their gadget and threw them at the androids. The Talan use overload and sabotage from their omni-tools while Laus threw arc-grenades at them. This mange to knock down 4 of the android by they kept coming. G40 aim her weapon at Laus and shoot blasting his torso off his body. Meto who was next to him went in to shock as she saw that, meaning that she did not see a Yorha unit that was about to slice her. However she was save by Zenis us her power to throw back the Yorha unit, Zenis along with the rest of the asari shoved back the Yorha unit´s and held them still with their biotic power.
"Right, Meto get on your feet´s and you Quarian´s start hacking these damn machines and kill them." Zenis order. Their was a metallic clanging as White walk through one of the door, for the council crew seeing the slightly taller and pure white machine was actually terrifying. "Right Meto think you can stop her before we all die." Zenis said.
Meto got up and threw stasis at White. The Yorha commander stop in her track, but then as she move her hand and the stasis was shatter like it was glass and White started to move towards them.
"Meto what in the goddess name are you doing."
"I,,I did not thing. It just shook of my biotic." Meto said as she throw another stasis, on impact in shatter just like the first one. Meto started to sweat and get nervous, she some more and then she shoot her pistol at White. The bullets and the biotic shattered on impact.
White threw her sword towards Meto impaling her deeply into the wall. This shock Zenis and the other as they watch Meto´s body being stuck in the wall. When they look back at White she had dash over to Poraw and grab her head and crush it in her hands. Blood showering White´s armour and the wall. Before Aelol could life and fire his gun, his chest were being impale by White´s arm. She lifted up his body and threw it to the side.
"Shit,,shit,,shit" Zenis said as she release her hold on biotic grip against A2 and G40. The two androids got up and rush to action. A2 rushed behind Zenis and started to cut through the asari crew, G40 started to shoot the Quarians and the asari crew that A2 was not cutting, releasing the rest of the androids from the biotic stasis. Zenis look around in fear, she was surrounding by the machines. She did´t want to die by their hand so she pick up an grenade and arm it. White dash over an grab Zenis´s arm and quickly throw the grenade out of the asari´s hand and away from danger. It blew up a few of the corpse and shower the android´s in blood. Zenis look at the face less helmet of White´s armour, when the Yorha commander squeeze her arm hard enough to break it, the asari scream in massive pain and she sank down to the floor. Only being held up by White. The commander then let go and kick Zenis sending her flying thought room and crash into the wall. The Spectre couch up blood as her ribs had been broken from that kick. She look up and saw White standing their, she had gotten out of her armour, some how seeing that cold almost emotional face with those red eyes was even more scarier then the face less helmet.
Zenis scream as she charges her power up trying to get a biotic shockwave out. However White stomp on her other hand crushing it disrupted the asari from finishing her charge. Another scream left Zenis mouth as she was being lifted up by her throat, White then started to hammer in punches one after another all over the Spectre's body and face. White then throw Zenis body into the wall across the room. The androids could see the asari taking slow raspy breath as blood and teeth were dripping out of her mouth. Her body was broken as bones and rips had more or less been shatter by the blows. Looking down with her one good eye, Zenis could see how one of her bones were sticking out from her arms. She could feel something run down her chins, if it was blood or tears she did not know and she did not care. She was just scared and wish that she never heard about these machines.
White walk over to Ziens and crouched down and put both her thumps into Zenis mouth and took a firm grip and then she started to pull them at each side. Zenis gave a muffle scream as her skull was slowly by surely split apart. A shower off blood spray all over White´s face, turning it dark blue. White let go of Zenis´s skull and headed back to the hanger along with the other Yorha.
"Any casualty?"
"No ma´am just wounded. 78B took the worst hit, her brain is rattle. The rest as a limb broken or damage." 2B said.
"Can the still be place in their flight unit."
"No ma´am we have to carry them and their flight units."
"Then do so, once we are off this ship we tell the operators to hack the ship and steer it to the sun. This filthy xeno ship will be burn it is no use for us."
"Yes ma´am." The Yorha said as they carry their wounded and went to their flight units and buckle up into them. Once everyone was in them hand holding onto the wounded and the spare flight units, they flew out and back to the BUNKER. White radio into the operator and order them to steer the ship into the sun, for the operator at the BUNKER they could see on the screen as the enemy ship flew into the sun and exploded.
Nobody threated humanity, not after that Yorha had waited for so long for them to return. If any council race thought that they could get close to the moon, they would all die a bloody and painful death by Yorha, they would know their wrath.
(A/N biggest chapter yet, just a heads up I got my finals coming up so I don´t know when I can update next chapter. Hope you enjoy this one.)
