Ok sorry for the late update, but obviously I played ME: Andromeda, but I also watched Power rangers 2017 and Ghost in the shell. So I've been a little distracted, sorry. Anyway, people have asked me about doing a Warlord Andromeda story after this. I may have an idea, but I'm unsure. I'll give it a think about, that's all I can really say. Anyway enjoy.
"Commander the fleet is ready." EDI said over the comm as John looked at the galaxy map in front of him.
"Patch me into the fleet." John said, a moment later he was patched in. "This is commander Shepard speaking. Now, we all know what we are here for so I won't sugar coat anything. We're on the attack against one of the Warlord masters. Queen Aria T'loak of the Omega Alliance. It's no secret that she and Wrex have been at each others throats for a long time boarding on war. Aria herself was planning to attack Tuchanka in a months time, however like the good friends we are we will attack first send a warning to the others. We will protect our friends, our allies and those who attack us or them will face our fury!" he said as cheering could be heard though the ships. "Command of the feet will be under Ashley Williams."
John then turned to look at the Commander and nodded.
"All ships get ready to engage, fireteams report to your stations jammer ships engage."she said.
The three batarain raiders flew engaged their FTL and jumped out of system. The battle was about to begin.
OOOOO
Inside the Omega command centre the commander just sat back in his chair drinking some coffee. The Batarian commander looked at his subordinates as they did their jobs at their terminals. Each one hard at work keeping the station safe, or as safe as they can. He took another sip looking out into space, he hated it. The darkness, the light's, too pleasant for his eyes. If only if the rest of the galaxy where like the batarians, but they weren't they just had to be different, freedom, independence. He found them to be disgusting as he turned to stare at his coffee one of the few thing the humans brought fro their world to be of use.
"Sir." the LADAR operator said getting the attention of the commander.
"What?" he asked impatiently.
"We have three raiders incoming. They cannot activate their vid screens, but they are in major need of repairs."
"Ugh can't they have gone to a repair station?"
"No, they where damaged in a fight nearby. Omega was the closet."
"Do their codes check?"
"Fully sir."
"Then let them in." the commander said.
OOOOO
On the lead raider the comm officer looked at his screen then to the Capitan and nodded.
"Raider one to fleet, jamming system engaged you are clear to jump."
OOOOO
The commander turned back to his coffee and was taking a drink as the screen then came alive. Ships, mostly human and turrian came out of FTL close to the station, in total 175 ships from frigates to cruisers appeared in system. The commander spat his coffee out and stood looking at the screen as did the command centre staff. Shepard then appeared on the screen.
"This is Supreme commander John Shepard of the Solar empire…."
OOOOO
Aria watched with gritted as she witnessed the broadcast.
"….. surrender and you will not be harmed."
"ALL SHIPS ALL GUNS OPEN FIRE!" Aria yelled.
OOOOO
The Omega system defence fleet was composed of 90 ships from batarian raiders to turrian cruisers. Few other ships, Battarian raiders where fast and durable but they had few weapons and where mostly meant to board. Turrian cruisers where made as all round craft which a heavy punch and strong armour with shields however it suffered from being less manoeuvrable and slow. This was going to be a fight and Ashley knew it as she looked out of the fleet and the station. Technically their fleet outnumbered them but they had a space station with a lot of guns on it. This was going to be an even fight.
"All ships fire at will, fighters and transports deploy." she said and the Normandy moved fast.
The ships opened up and deployed their fighter's first with transports following. The retrofitted V22's and salvaged Kodiak's flew toward the station in a curved direction. The fleet's plan was to gain the attention of the main fleet and station while the landing groups landed on the station itself and begin to take over. The transports flew in fast as the fleets traded shots. John looked out at the fight as the fleets began to split and begin to focus on each other. If the Solar Empire kept their distance from the station then they would be able to focus on the fleet itself.
"Be careful Ashley." John said looking though the glass.
"Approaching drop point!" yelled the pilot.
"Hold back." John called out. "Let the other strike teams on first. Once all teas are down then we'll move."
"Yes sir."
OOOOO
The docking bay was the best target for the teams. It wasn't heavily guarded and the soldiers assumed that there would be no boarding so they where light in number. A gunship flew in fast and into the bay surprising the soldiers inside. It opened fired with it's heavy chain gun, the rounds from the gun hit the walls all over the docking bay taking out several of the soldiers inside before the others took cover as fast as they could. Once the gunfire stopped the soldiers jumped out of the gunship and got into cover. The gunship flew out once everyone got off, that was the perfect opportunity for the soldiers of Omega decided to take the opportunity and engage. They popped up out of cover and opened fire, but the main problem was some of the Solar soldiers where armed with ballistic shields.
As soon as the Omega soldiers opened fire, the Solar soldiers brought up their shields. The rounds either impacted or bounced off. As that happened the soldiers who took cover fired their weapons at the red armoured soldiers. The ME AK's that the Solar soldiers used where powerful but where inaccurate. As such the weapon had to be used in single shot or burst fire. However if pinning was required then it would be useful.
But the high ground that Omega had wouldn't allow for much damage. At lest three Solar soldiers fell but only one of the Omega had fell. That changed when another gunship came into the hanger and immediately finished off the Omega soldiers in the hanger.
"Hanger 1 clear!" the pilot called out on the comm.
"Upper hangers and docks are clear and secure. Begin landing the troops." said another pilot.
On Dock- 3 where most of the Solar troops landed John Garrus and Wrex jumped off their Kodiak and looked round. The Solar troopers had already set up a makeshift command centre with a radio, ammo medical and weapon station. As the three got off the one in charge, a turrian, came up to them.
"Sir's." he said saluting them.
"Situation?" John said saluting him back.
"Well we're setting up camp here, as well as operational command. several teams are already on their way to their objectives. The way to afterlife is just about clear, several heavy troopers and at least one mech." the turrian said.
"Good, less for us to deal with. Focus on getting their attention."
"Yes sir." the turrian said before turning and walking away.
"Ok let's go." John said as he and the other two moved to one of the doors and into the corridor.
As he said that a dropship came in and dropped off a squad of 20 loki mechs.
OOOOO
The sound of ships was unmistakeable as Jack looked up into the sky. Several human cruisers came down and landed. This place was meant to be secret, but she was not too surprised, this place couldn't be kept secret forever. The entrance opened and an Asari flanked by several green digital camo troopers entered. The troopers looked like soldiers from the 20th century but with 22nd century armour. As they entered Jack walked up to them.
"You found us, what do you want?" she asked.
"Surrender. Omega is under attack, and will be under the control of the Solar Empire soon. If not then we will leave."
"So be it." Jack said.
OOOOO
"SHIT HOW DID IT END UP LIKE THIS?" Garrus asked as rounds hit the barricade.
"Ha, come on Garrus, don't tell me you missed this?" Wrex asked.
"You mad old man," Garrus said before smiling. "No I didn't, shame on them!" he came out of cover and used his modified sniper to take out three soldiers with headshots.
The headless bodies fell to the floor dead as he got back into cover. Wrex came out and fired his shotgun taking out two troopers. John ducked his head as a few rounds landed above is head.
"EDI how's it coming at the door?" he asked.
"I require a few more seconds." EDI replied.
"Hurry up." John said as another round hit near him. "Shit!"
"What's up Shepard?" Wrex asked in a mocking tone. "Afraid to get hit?"
"Something like that, if they damage me too much the others are going to be pissed. I promised them that I'd stay as safe as possible. Hell hath no fury but a woman scorn. I cannot deal with the rage of 4 women at once." he said as he came out of cover and fired taking out three soldiers.
More soldiers came at them from the doors to the second set of barricades from Afterlife. But as they did two Kodiak's came up and dropped off Solar heavy troopers. They took cover before unleashing suppressive fire on the omega troopers. That forced them to keep their heads down as the door to Afterlife unlocked.
"Cover me!" John yelled as he ran though the door before it locked behind him.
He turned to look at the locked door before turning to the entrance and continued walking to it. The door opened up and he walked into the club itself. As he entered Aria was sitting on her throne not wearing armour but her normal attire. She stood and walked to the edge of the platform her throne was on.
"So, you must be commander Shepard." she said. "You've got a lot of nerve shooting up my home."
"And you have a lot of nerve trying to go to war with my friends." he said taking out the collar. "Now, surrender and put this on or I'll force it on you."
"Aahahahaha." Aria yelled out. "You have to take me down first." she said as her body erupted in biotic energy.
John clipped the collar onto his belt and smiled. He dropped his rifle and grabbed his pistol. Unlike rifles quite a few predator pistols managed to be salvaged and modified. This one John modified himself with a laser sight, extended mag and a punch to rival a cariniflex. The two looked at each other for a good moment before the nanites kicked in. Aria watched in shock as the human moved faster then a varrin and shot at her. The round hit the asari's biotic field and bounced off. That shocked and alerted her to the fact that he was a good shot. She jumped down and her cloak activated.
"Damn a cloak?" John asked.
He raised his pistol and looked around carefully. She had to be here somewhere, but where. Just as he grit his teeth something kicked him in the back sending him into a wall. He fired wildly in the direction he was kicked but hit nothing. This cloak was good, normally there would be some kind of simmering in the air but nothing. But blinking his eyesight began to adjust.
"What the…." he muttered as his eyesight began to detect heat.
Or at least heat waves, the pillars, lights each one looked like it rippled with heat.
"AHAHAHA cannot see me? Pathetic!" Aria called out.
John turned fast looking around fast pistol up before a biotic blast hit him squire in the face and sent him sliding along the floor.
"And you're meant to be the first human Spectre? You're a joke!"
"Cut me a little slack." John said as he stood and looked around carefully. "I've been technically dead for three years."
"So I heard, but that means I'm stronger and more experienced then you are!"
Warp ball headed for him but John moved out of the way fast and jumped onto the main pole dancer platform. Once on it he fired three rounds in rapid succession. One of them hit the mark as a blue flash indicating an impact, he then fired a concussive shot at it. The impact form the shot took out the cloak and barrier Aria had up. She looked at him an anger as he fired a few more rounds she moved fast but one of them hit her arm.
"You're gonna pay for that!" she declared before charging at him.
John dropped his pistol and charged at her as well Aira came in fast with a biotic powered hook punch but as she took the swing he spun around her and slapped the collar on her neck. Almost immediately her biotic powers stopped. She turned to face him this time she was seriously pissed.
"I don't need biotics to take you out!"
John took a combat stance with fists up and stood ready. Aria then came in fast and punched him but the commander deflected it as well another punch coming at him. She then kicked him in the side but he grabbed the leg and threw her into one of the stripper poles. That hurt her bad but she jumped up and charged at him. This time the attack came a kick to the gut making hi stagger back a bit. She then came in with a punch to the jaw and an uppercut. All of which didn't send him to the ground but just made him back up.
The two then circled each other slowly before moving in. John was the first to strike with a punch but Aria moved fast and blocked it allowing her to strike but he stopped her and grabbed onto her first. He then twisted it making her yelp before planting his foot square in the chest and kicking her away.
Aria then jumped up and tackled him to the ground. He then got a good hook shot at her making her flinch and move off him before he got up and turned her onto her front and pinned her to the ground. He then grabbed her wrists and cuffed them together.
"I'll kill y…." before she could say anything John hit her hard knocking her out.
"I win." John said.
OOOOO
Outside the fleet was taking a beating, the Solar empire had lost a good 30 ships while Omega had lost 15. this was mostly due to the experience the Omega forces had. While most space combat experts died during the war, most people could gain experience though various things in space. And Omega had that experience. Ashley did her best in coordinating in stopping ships from leaving the area, but the strategy of the Omega ships was almost flawless. They had practice, and that was a problem for her and the other ships. But before she could star panicking even more John came over the video comm and the jamming signal was lifted. He sat on Aria's throne with Aria on the floor in front of him.
"This is commander Shepard speaking, all Omega forces stand down. Aria has been defeated." he said.
As soon as he said it the Omega forces stopped firing and some of them jumped to FTL.
"We won." Ashley said.
