Chapter 11:
Citadel DLC Crossover Special
After the attack on the citadel, the government signed off with the Gorgons to join the Alliance and give aid to them. They were also delighted to hear of the Boshoku clans end. The awakened Darth Malgus went with a few from the Citadel to the Alliance fleet to know what has happened during his carbonite sleep. Serenity and the others also heard that the Normandy has to under go a matienence check and a good fix up with all the workings, funded by the Alliance for there good work.
It has been two days since the shore leave, everyone was relaxing and having a good time on the citadel.
Serenity got a message to meet Deidara at an entertainment module up north of the citadel where he was sitting waiting for her, it was an expensive sushi place at that.
Beside Deidara were Ignis and Gladious. Gladious was already eating and Ignis was looking at the menu with a frown.
"I hope the picture isn't as bad as the meal we get." Ignis said to them.
"Tastes fine to me." Gladious said.
"Hey, commander!" Deidara yelled waving for Serenity who walked up to them.
Serenity was wearing a hoodie and jeans with her hands in her pockets and sat down with them.
"So boys, what are we having." Serenity asked taking a look at the menu.
"Don't you eat sentient meat or something?" Gladious asked.
"She does, why I got her food right here." Ignis said handing it to Serenity in a bag who took it preparing it on her empty plate.
"Why did she look at the menu then?" Gladious asked.
"To make sure no one knows that she and her family have to eat sentient meat. To make the customers around here feel safe and not creeped out." Ignis said and sighed at his menu. "I'm just going to tough it out and have the salmon with cherry." Ignis said placing his menu down.
"So commander. I got an idea." Deidara told Serenity.
Serenity chewed and swallowed tilting her head. "Just Serenity, I'm not on duty." Serenity told him.
"Sorry dude, anyway I was thinking we should throw a party before we regroup with the Alliance. We should have one last blast you know?" Deidara said to her.
"You want to have a party? With what we went through?" Serenity said cocking an eyebrow.
"Yeah! Come on everyone might want to come!" Deidara said noticing the waiter coming and handing him his plate and Ignis ordering his.
"I think it would be nice. Those that don't want to come don't have too. Gives the rest of us something to do and not think about what we are going to do next." Gladious said salting his food and went back to eating it and waved to the waiter. "Get me another round, please! And hey a round of more Jetty's!"
"Well, I wouldn't mind throwing out a party. We just need to rent a place to do it at." Serenity said to them.
"Already looked, found out there's one near the entertainment module fifteen." Deidara told her.
"That's a busy module. How were you able to afford that for us?" Serenity asked.
"And what is it? A single room?" Ignis asked secondly.
"It's like an apartment. two floors are all but its big and nice, just can't break anything. has everything needed. But it's only for rent though. Would have been nice to actually buy it." Deidara said.
"Perhaps." Serenity said and finished her meal wiping the blood from her mouth.
"So we in agreement to it?" Deidara asked.
"Agreed." Serenity said with a nod.
"Good! Because I already rented it, and also bought party supplies that should be going there this afternoon!" Deidara said smiling as Serenity glared at him with her arms crossed.
"Hahaha! Lighten up, we knew you would have said yes." Gladious said giving a side hug to Serenity laughing as she rolled her eyes.
A few hours later Serenity walked right passed a scene where a shop was on fire with plasma holes everywhere. And there sitting on a crate was Mangle being talked to by six citadel security soldiers.
Serenity just sighed walking to the chaos.
"That's my sister." Serenity said.
"Commander Serenity! Your sister destroyed this shop!" One of the security officers said.
Serenity looked at Mangle shaking her head. "Why."
"Because the asshole in there didn't serve me first when I was in line waiting. Rude guy." She said.
"That's not all she did." The officer said.
"What else did you do?" Serenity asked blinking a few times looking back at Mangle.
"I destroyed a medical droid and medical beds because the assholes were sick and they could have got me sick. Even tried to raise a boy I found. Then a woman who was beside him got mad at me and tried to hurt me and I kicked her away and took the boy. She kept calling the boy her son. Lost him because he ran away. Then I came here, oh and I had to take someone's speeder car because I didn't want to walk all the way over here." Mangle said as if what she did was normal.
Serenity just looked at her and looked at the security officer. "I will send credits for damages. Can I take her?" Serenity asked.
"No, but, she already knocked out half our security and well, you guys did save our asses so. Take her, but we don't want her making any more trouble." The officer said.
"Got it." Serenity said to him taking Mangle's hand and taking her with him.
"Thanks, brother." Mangle said.
"No problem, brother." Serenity said back at her shaking her head.
"Never change Mangle. Never change." Serenity said.
The two of them made it to the apartment that Deidara rented and in there was Deidara talking to Garrus.
"Nice to see you Serenity." Garrus said nodding.
"You was able to make it, nice!" Serenity said shaking his hand.
"I asked the Alliance to give me this time off to spend it getting away from some of the stress. Guess they let some of us come here." Garrus said.
"How are some of my sisters doing working at the fleet?" Serenity asked.
"Doing good! They miss you all. Wait till we all go to the fleet together. A friend and family reunion." Garrus said patting her shoulder.
"Yeah, dude." Deidara said raising his drink he had in his hand.
Sitting on the couch was Vulpix, Kylo, and Itachi talking to each other. They noticed Serenity waving at her as she waved back.
"Help yourselves, we should have a delivery guy come soon for the party food tonight." Deidara said and walked passed Serenity. "Got to check on the hot tub if its ready in your room." Deidara said.
"Hot tub!?" Serenity said blinking.
"Good, we get to get naked in a hot tub together." Mangle said smiling walking passed Serenity who was a bit creeped out to what she just said.
"Maybe we should take turns, Mangle." Serenity said to her.
Serenity went into the kitchen taking a look at it but then her holo began to beep and she answered it seeing it was uncle Qrow.
"Hey." Serenity said.
"Hey kid, I had to head to the Alliance fleet. They need some help since some of our allies wanted to go to that party. Guess you won't see your Uncle show his party phase. Heh." Qrow said with a laugh.
"Awe Uncle. Don't worry, Day after tomorrow we will be at the fleet. Party, then relaxing next day then heading to you guys." Serenity said.
"Go have a good time! You guys got this. Darth Malgus sure is scaring everyone but he's willing to help us. Guess even the last Sith doesn't want to be controlled. So far some of us are here. I know Maychiro is heading there because she misses you guys. She worked hard for the Alliance after all and wants to see her kids. Are Maya and Demencia there with you?" Qrow asked.
Serenity looked around and seen Maya and Demencia talking to Jacob and Mienshao at a bar nearby and noticed Garrus sitting on the couch watching some show.
"Yeah, they are just talking." Serenity said.
"Alright, anyway kid have a good party and remember to just relax." Qrow told her.
"I will." Serenity said but then he quickly talked before she hung up.
"Serenity. I'm proud of you. I know your dad would be too. When you get back, you realize you are going to be a leader. It's a big responsibility." Qrow told her.
Serenity paused thinking about what he said and looked to the ceiling with a breath of air. "Yeah." She said.
"Hey Uncle?" Serenity said and walked into a private room shutting the door.
"What is it, kid?" Qrow asked her.
"You said Dad would be proud of me. What about... mom?" Serenity asked.
There was a dead silence and then Qrow spoke after a few moments.
"I'm sure she would be proud too." Qrow said to her.
On the other end of the call, Qrow was a bit startled and had to sit down. Who heard that besides him was Mordin who looked away and back to his work.
"You thought about your mom?" Qrow asked.
"To be honest, I some times in the back of my mind wonder who she was and what she was like. Did you know her?" Serenity asked.
"No. I didn't." Qrow said and put his hand over his eyes and quickly made a huge noise next to him.
"Oh shit! Oh no! I got to handle this valve. I will talk to you when I see you kid! Love you!" Qrow said and hung up quickly.
Serenity didn't think nothing of it and left the private room going off to talk to Kylo, Vulpix, and Mienshao who was sitting talking together with Jacob coming from the other side to talk with the group.
Back at the Alliance fleet, Qrow stared at a monitor which wasn't on and thought.
Mordin walked beside him checking on two different datapads of research data and then spoke while looking at them.
"Never asked about her, her mother. Strange. Last time she asked about her was when she was five. Remember Dray told me." Mordin said.
"I didn't know her but I heard a lot of nice things about her. I heard she became human after mating with my brother?" Qrow asked Mordin.
"Indeed she did. One day she just disappeared when Serenity was a baby. None of us seen her again. Bothered Dray." Mordin said walking behind Qrow and over to a table putting the two datapads down and began to type things on a console next to him while looking at both datapads.
Qrow looked at his own work and sighed. "Can't believe I broke this valve to just hang up on her." He said.
"Fix it you must. The valve connects to the electric line." Mordin said.
"Oh, now you tell me!" Qrow shouted and quickly went to try to fix it.
Back at the apartment, Serenity heard the buzzer and went up to the door and there waiting was Maychiro and Kaiden.
"Nice to see you again!" Maychiro said hugging Serenity.
"Same." Kaiden said nodding.
"Make way! It's time I show you all how to party!" Wrex said coming in with a grin on his face. "Got any food around here!" Wrex asked going toward the kitchen with Mienshao going over to him to show him where the food was.
"How is the Alliance doing?" Serenity asked Maychiro.
"It's going well! We got new recruits from different races that came to help. Many of them have families and don't want their families to be under a forced control." Maychiro said to her walking with her into the apartment.
"Uncle misses you." Serenity said to her.
"I miss him too. I'm waiting for him to pop the question too me." Maychiro said laughing.
"Is my sisters okay with you and him dating? It is kind of awkward you know. Dad and you making three of my sisters as two of them are here. And you in our journey fell in love with our uncle." Serenity said asking her.
"It is but they understand. Besides what I and your father had was just sex, not love. Your father loved someone else." She said smiling at her.
Before Serenity asked if it was her mother perhaps, they were interrupted by Wrex.
"You don't get the good stuff. I'm going to make a quick run to the nearest kiosk and get something good! Some hard Tihaar liqueur that will do the trick." He said walking passed Serenity.
"That stuff may make you drunk and crazy!" Serenity yelled at him.
"And?" Wrex asked walking away.
Serenity just shook her head. "Get a few bottles then!" She yelled.
"Going to get a crate! Come on Serenity think! This is a party, not a sleep over!" Wrex yelled.
Serenity then looked at Deidara who walked toward her.
"I sent holo invites to those of us on the citadel that wants to come to the party. I think my clan mates may come but, who knows." Deidara said.
Suddenly they heard a deep womanly voice.
"Wheres Kisame! I want him to feed me!" Rebecca the Hutt said crawling in with no guards this time.
"Oh god..." Deidara said.
"You invited her!?" Serenity asked him in shock.
"No, I did." Kisame said wearing a tuxedo and taking Rebecca's hand. "my lady." he said winking.
Deidara and Serenity cringed and then Gladious walked by who then turned and walked back where he came from to avoid the weird cringe Kisame and Rebecca were doing.
"This is going to be one hell of a party." Serenity said.
Serenity walked over to the kitchen and just rested her body against the fridge looking at Hatenko and Lopunny talking.
"So you got some obsession with our dad?" Lopunny asked.
"Well yes! He's the boss! He's my dawn of light and night!" Hatenko said.
"So gay?" Lopunny said laughing.
"Not gay? I just hold him to high regards!" Hatenko said.
Zarbon then walked into the conversation. "I heard gay." He said.
"Hatenko is gay for our dad." Lopunny said.
"No, I'm not! I just love him and honor him! Not in love! He is my idol!" Hatenko said.
"You're not helping your case hunny." Zarbon said chuckling.
Hatenko just sighed putting his head down.
"Well hey, I'm glad someone looks up to our dad like we do." Serenity said.
"Yeah, that's true." Lopunny said.
Hatenko got to his feet and gave Serenity a nod. "I will protect you girls in his honor. He would expect that of me." Hatenko said raising his fist up with tears flowing. "You hear me, boss! I'm going to help your family!" Hatenko yelled.
Serenity just shook her head laughing and drinking a bottled Jetty.
She noticed Prompto a bit timid looking at Mangle and Serenity walked over to him.
"No camera out tonight?" Serenity asked.
"Huh? Oh uh, I will get it out don't worry. Got to take pictures of the best party ever hehe... yea..." He said looking away.
"Come on Prompto talk to me." Serenity said nudging him.
"I really like your sister." Prompto said to her.
"I'm surprised someone likes that crazy bitch- kidding I love my sister. Well, that was half a kidding and half not." Serenity told him smirking.
"I get it, I'm not offended." he said and quickly reached into his pocket holding out a wedding ring.
Serenity looked at it but Prompto remained silent.
"Are we getting married?" Serenity asked confused.
"No, I want too- I want too- I want to ask your sister to marry me." Prompto said.
"Then go ask her." Serenity said to him. "I can't help you, you got to be brave enough to ask her." She said to him.
Prompto gripped the small case and looked at Mangle who was talking with Zarbon, Garrus, Vulpix, Mienshao, and Lamar Davis.
Prompto slowly walked up to Mangle who was getting herself a drink and knelt down to her.
"Lose a contact?" Mangle asked him.
Suddenly Mangle stopped what she was doing seeing a small case in his hand and him opening it showing her a ring.
Mangle for the first time spoke, in her actual normal - which is serious voice.
"Prompto." She said taking a step back. "You can't do this now, there are people and I don't look good right now, I stink." She said to him.
"Then I guess I stink too. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Prompto told her.
Gladious and Ignis stood beside Serenity as others took a look at this. Maychiro had a big grin on her face crossing her arms. "Brave boy." She said softly to herself.
Mangle had a blush on her face and which surprised Serenity, Mangle was in fact normal. She always acted well, like herself but for the first time, she saw a serious Mangle. One who was also surprised and somewhat joyful.
"Will you marry me?" Prompto asked her.
"I'm a killer." Mangle told him.
"Then I guess I'm a sinner to love a killer." Prompto said standing up looking into her eyes.
Gladious was tearing up rubbing his eyes.
"I will!" Mangle said and hugged him. "I will!"
Everyone began to clap for them.
Zarbon was crying himself. "So touching... oh such gentlemen!" He said.
A little while after Serenity walked over to Prompto who was sitting on the couch with Mangle talking with Maychiro and gave him a head pat. Letting him know he did a good job.
