A/N hello people, I am back and ready to continue the story, and guess what now I am at FAV: 13 and Alert: 13, I think thats good. I also like to thank you guys on giving me a chance. Now for some of my thoughts on my story, as you can see here I trying to let people know that Turians are good at being soldiers and with the case here they did not have much choice. Then we got Saren, He was mainly doing this for his dead brother, so maybe beforehand he was decent at the least and now on with the story.
(I do not own Anything in this fanfiction just about anything you see here will belong to someone, Plus I am not sure what all is going to be in here.)
Minutes Before Desolas called Saren, aboard the Dreadnought of the Turian Hierarchy leading the 23rd Fleet.
-Turian's POV-
Now the 10 unknown ship have taken positions (The two Core class ship in the front with a Warforged class on the left and a Sanctuary class on the right for each Core class. The Scavenger and Legion class ships hiding behind the Warforged class ship for each side.) with them now dodging at speeds that do not make sense for ships that size and that not even mentioning that their largest ships move like Thresher Maw but unlike them with grace. Thankful they manage to get a few hits to slowly whittle down their shields, but then all good things must come to an end, and it did in a very unexpected way.
"GENERAL ARTERIUS!, ONE OF THEIR LARGEST SHIPS IS ON A COLLISION COURSE, RIGHT FOR US!" Alria was understandably panicking.
"ON COM WITH ALL SHIPS!"
"I NEED EVERYONE TO CONCENTRATE ON THAT SHIP AND I WANT YOU TO USE EVERYTHING MASS ACCELERATORS, MISSILES, PROBES AND FIGHTER CRAFT IF YOU MUST, BUT STOP THAT SHIP!"
The ship was blazing through their deadly barrage while dodging some of them, they are equally getting hit due to its large size. It gets closer "SIR! THEY ARE NOT BUDGING OR SLOWING DOWN!"
"KEEP IT UP!" It gets even closer, "I THINK WE'RE ALMOST THERE, GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT. BRING IT ON, YOU SUICIDAL ALIEN SHITHEADS!" as gets closer they got at least one result, "THEIR SHIELDS ARE DOWN!" that joy that everyone was feeling was killed instantly when one Turian said the dreaded words "TOO LATE, BRACE FOR IMPACT!". From the outside of Dreadnought, you can see the alien ship coil round it's prey and have it's weapons pointed and fire lasers at their weapon systems with its other target being the end of their ship to prevent from moving. After what seems like a endless onslaught, due to the enemies ship length, it stopped as the enemy ship flew back to its fleet with battle scars. The enemy ship had major damage to the front and minor damage to its left side which was a small victory for the Turians. Everyone was knock down during the barrage, even Desolas Arterius the general was on the ground.
"Uuugh, I know I do not want to hear this but damage report?" his voice was sore from yelling, not it was important or all.
"... Sir, shields are... fully operational." Alria finished was even more worried than before. The general thought -Now why would shields of all things still be working? The only way to happen is the enemy will have to...- "No...". The realization hit him harder than a Blood Rage Krogan using a Biotic Charge, they use D.E.W. or direct energy weapons. He NEEDED to call his brother he got on his Omni Tool and made the call.
"COME ON, COME ON...SARENINEEDYOUTOGRABANYOFTHEIRWEAPONSANDBRINGTHEMBACKTOBASE (A/N Since I have trouble reading stuff like this from other writers when they do things like this, here is a easy slow down version 'Saren, I need you to grab any of their weapons and bring them back to base!' hope that helps.)... They have SHIPS BIGGER THAN DESTINY ASCENSION and DIRECT ENERGY WEAPONS, Saren I need you to do this, if you don't TOO MANY good Turians will die... and I might die in this orbital battle... please at least come home to Palaven alive little brother..." and with that he ended the call before Saren can comment on that. He turned to look back at his most powerful enemy he had ever faced and noticed something rather odd with the ship that made the unorthodox charge.
"I thought we at least do more damage than that, I not expecting to cripple them, but still?" and the ensign gave a more confusing and dreaded reply.
"We did?, but it seems they can repair their ships faster than we can, unfortunately" Alri honestly hated be just a tsunami of bad news, but it is the only thing she has.
"They also made all of our weapons systems inoperable and 'Clipped our wings' we can't move, in other words we are sitting Pyjaks, and what's worse we can't help the rest of the fleet other than give orders." She was so frustrated she kicked the computer which did nothing but give her a stubbed toe. Then she notice something odd, she decided to assume worst case scenario and check the encrypted data... well the situation was even worse now.
"Sir, during the barrage we have been hacked-" she would have continued until Desolas already started the no longer necessary protocol.
"LOCK DOWN ALL COMPUTERS AND PULL ALL HARD-LINES, WE NEED TO ISOLATE ALL OUR SYSTEMS!" She needed to save the general's trouble.
"SIR!...There is no need for that, they data mined everything during the barrage and we never would have known if they did not leave us something that pretty much tells us they have everything. Check my damage report if you do not believe me." Desolas slowly walk up to the terminal and saw she was right it was a complete copy of every single digital information was copied and pasted on the damage report... even from his omni tool. Which would mean...
"A.I., they use A.I., of all things if it was not bad enough! They was MASSIVE ships, use DEW weapons, and NOW we are learning that they use A.I.! YOU know what... FUCK THE PRIMARCH!" he called the Primarch and ohhh did he have a message for him. Enforcing the law was one thing, BUT YOU DO NOT force him to SLAUGHTER HIS own man and women to fight a battle that they do not have any kind of chance of winning. Like the Rachni wars no one had a chance, it was WHY they NEEDED the Krogen in the first place.
"Ahh, General good to see you, I assume you have w-" HE HAD ENOUGH.
"Listen you overconfident BASTARD, We are done "enforcing" Citadel law, I poked a sleeping Thresher Maw and instead of me. Good Turians had to die for nothing, because our enemy has SHIPS THE DWARF DESTINY ASCENSION, has DEW's, and even utilizes A FUCKING I. I am not going to ask for REINFORCEMENTS, you known the things you thought we did not NEED, NO I AM DEMANDING THAT YOU TELL THE COUNCIL SO THEY CAN START NEGOTIATIONS! or so help me I WILL PUT A BULLET IN YOUR HEAD FOR NOT PREVENTING SOMETHING WORSE THAN THE RACHNI WARS! We WILL pull all advancements with them and leave their tech just to make sure that all goes smoothly." and with that he ended the call leaving very stun Turians in the room, no one had ever spoken to the Primarch like that leaving very mixed feelings with those in the same room as him.
One was for sure no one wanted to challenge him "On com with all ships."
"ATTENTION 23rd FLEET, YOU ARE ORDERED TO RETREAT, THIS IS NONNEGOTIABLE." then he turn to stare at the rest of his fleet that thankfully was not attacked by the enemy. A few moments pass as if they were hesitant of the idea, but thanks to Turian discipline they left with the enemy not moving a inch, now he had no choice but to try and convincing ground forces not to antagonize the aliens, even more convincing to get them to surrender while leaving any of their tech behind. Oh how he regretted what he told Saren and he had no way of talking him out of it with the kind of talk he gave.
"Sir" he was about to scream at her to stop giving bad news, thankfully he stopped himself from being stupid.
"Yes"
"They are sending multiple unknown pods towards us." one thought -Dammit-
On the planet's (Shanxi) surface and on top of a building, after the call from Saren's brother.
-Turian's POV-
"We have our mission, if there are any weapons we NEED them, now how do we get in Druvus?" The leader asked his combat engineer. He looked around and saw opportunity in the form a cheesy spy lover's dream, the air ducts.
"While many of us are too big our friend Latana is just the right size for the job."
"What are you... are you being serious?" Saren deadpan with disbelief and wanted to smack him if he wasn't.
"You have a better idea, on how to do this stealthily, considering we only have grenades and our weapons, not to mention I am unable to hack in due to how advance the security system is." everyone was stumped.
"Am I really the smallest?"
"In terms of-OOHHHH." Opitis got a painful message from the Cabal to his family jewels, considering that Cabal's go through even tougher training than normal Turians, and Turians, next to Quarians, are the 2nd hardest kicking species while Quarians are on top, and finally the females have stronger muscles than the males. Yeah he might not be able to have kids anymore.
"While you are smaller in height it is not that much, but you are skinnier than the three of us." to which she responded with a 'Dang it' and walked up to the air ventilation system, she used her Omni Tool to cut open the cover and proceeded to crawl. It took several minutes before she got to her intended destination, she once again proceeded to cut open the cover and before it fell to the ground grabs it then proceeded to slide (Since it is a air duct and no way for her to even crouch) down to land on the floor.
"I'm in."
-I hope you broke a leg!- The infantry angrily whispered/shouted in the coms.
-Ignore him are we in the right place, spirits we broke into the right place.- Saren was REALLY hope they did not somehow broke into a overly protected toy store.
"It seems to be a hardware store nothing, but parts, tools, and some magazines that looks like weapons and armor." rather disappointed with her find.
-Great, just great, 'sigh' well those magazines are going to have to do we need to get back to base especially before morning comes.-
-Really we are going to rely on pieces of paper for the battle tomorrow?-
-I have to agree with Opitis here, I certain if we check the other buil-
-If they contain the pitchers of the inner workings of any of their DEWS then I be happy, because my BROTHER does NOT have enough time up there against creatures that have ships that make DESTINY ASCENSION look like a insect...- Everyone was quiet and no one dared to break the silence. After a few seconds of processing, everyone went back to business.
When she turn back to the magazines "I will just grab the...?" she was surprised to see a alien (She can't tell if it is a animal or a kid due to Hanar kinda looked like a animal and Vorcha acting like some) unknown sleeping on top of them (A/N By the by its a non-sentient animal). It was a small creature with light blue fur and a dark blue splotch on its back and nose, it had 6 small legs with each having 4 clawed toes, had three spines coming out of its back along with wings, had giant ears with two antennas in between them and a long tail, it was so adorable that everyone will want it for a pet (Yes it is a fusion of Toothless and Stitch, and they are called Blairs it is the shop owner's pet which makes excellent guard 'dogs'... when they want to be).
"Awww" she as gently pushed the creature off... big mistake.
Inside the Build a Weapon N Armor store just as Rufus was PUSHED off HIS NEW BED
-Rufus POV-
I had a long day, so I deserve beauty sleep, my kind are nocturnal animals which means we sleep at day and are up at night. My ALPHA however thought it was a good idea to allow NOISY strangers in OUR TERRITORY. I COULD NOT EVEN GET ONE WINK OF SLEEP, so you can imaged the frustration when I WAS PUSHED.
"HEY, I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP THERE!" That is when I notice something, while its looked like a Apex, the smell was wrong on all accounts and that it was speaking gibberish... wait I remembered something, my alpha rules, one of which is no strangers at this time. YOU DO NOT BREAK MY ALPHA'S RULES, so I gathered as much mucus in my oral cavity as I can then fired at the intruder's face with a direct hit. It squawked in surprise which in turned dropped my beds and I grabbed its foot with my mouth and toss it like a ragdoll into a shelf and cause said shelf to fall over with the thing on top of it. Thinking it learned its lesson I grabbed my beds and went back to sleep.
Then I knock OFF MY BED AGAIN from a Biotic Throw "OOOF!" so the thing is Biotic and it GIVES IT THE RIGHT TO KNOCK ME OFF MY BED oh hell no.
"Alright you BITCH, you think treats will save you from my wrath, NOPE, I will bring you to a world of... YOUR RUNNING AWAY WITH MY BED! NO ONE STEALS MY BED FROM MY TERRITORY AND LIVES!" I went after her into the ventilation system and began my hunt... MY HUNT FOR REVENGE. As I flew in and bit her other foot, I thrashed her around, granted not much to thrash around since is a ventilation system still. THEN SHE HAD TO CHEAT AGAIN BECAUSE OF MY IMMENSE POWER by using a Biotic Singularity.
Once the Singularity wore off "IO GET BACK HERE AND BE MY CHICKEN DINNER FOR YOUR CRIMES AGAINST BEAUTY SLEEP!" I ran toward my enemy as she exit the hole she threw... a grenade, THEY INSULT MY POWER (Blairs have a stitch level of endurance), I just kept running. It exploded and I CAME OUT OF THE CLOUD FROM THEIR PITIFUL WEAPON and my tongue was even hanging out. All those who could have witness it would have been so awed at the sight of AWESOMENESS they would have refused to blink ever again... WHY ARE THEY, wait they... no matter, WHY ARE THEY NOT AMAZED AT MY SUPERIORITY TO THEM. Three of them are surprised and the ONE THAT STOLE MY BED AND STILL HAS IT IN ITS CLAWS is frustrated, frustrated, Frustrated, FRUSTRATED!
I roared "I SHOULD BE FUCKING FRUSTRATED WITH APPARENTLY A PACK OF BED SNATCHERS, I AM SPECIAL, SO I GET TO SLEEP WHEREVER OR ON WHATEVER I WANT! Be that on the couch or on the lap of my alpha and...DON'T YOU RUN FROM THE GREAT RUFUS!" what is it with bed snatchers and running while I monologue. I took to the skies and fired balls of mucus at them and the bed snatcher itself passed it to what appears to be its alpha, SO IT WAS YOUR ALPHA ALL ALONG THE ONE WHO ORDERED YOU TO TAKE MY BED, HE WANTED MY BED ALL ALONG I WILL MAKE HIM DIE SLOWLY. Then the beta started to fire its gun at me... it was the saddest gun of all time, it was shooting grains of sand at me, IT HAD THE AUDACITY TO USE SUCH A PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A WEAPON where my territory is the kingdom of WEAPONS UNEXCEPTIONABLE!
"FEEL MY WRATH" I unleashed my burning hatred of the bed snatcher with my plume of fire, my ears were satisfied with squawks of TERROR. I landed with a hard thud on one of the bed snatchers and decided to make a EXAMPLE of it in front of its pack. I bit in between the legs and was greeted with a squawk of AGONY indicating it was a male, after thrashing him around I tossed him into a... admittedly convenient opened garbage bin (A/N You know the big ones.) and the led closed on him, him not being trash the technological garbage bin was supposed to gently toss him out... instead it toss him at the wall at breakneck speeds with one of the now known males picking back up. I continued the hunt for my bed and REVENGE, flying towards the alpha male, I did not notice the now known female took out a grenade.
The alpha male went to the outside of the dome where I thought I had him cornered due to the dome not usually opening for the people inside and then BOOM the small section of the dome fell upon trying to trap ME! The rest of the bed snatching pack climb over the fallen pieces and I saw... A SMUG LIKE SIMILE THAT DARES CROSS HER FACE, IF RUFUS CAN'T HAVE THE BED NO ONE WILL! I crawled out of the metal prison and fired with all my BURNING HATE at my former bed and when the ball of fire hit the target the bed was no more and the alpha males arm had a fourth degree burn as a result I left with a smug smile of my own.
A/N So what do you guys think of Rufus do you want to see more of him and do you want him to be Shepherd's pet. I will wait 3 days before deciding on my own if no one answers. Also I like to Thank CyberAngelOne for reviewing my story hope you see this chapter Cyber Angel.
