A few hours had passed, and Frost had awoken to being covered in mud and with a number of cuts and bruises on him from the shockwave. He looked towards the sky seeing the purple-pink sky and flames spitting into the sky. Nearly everywhere he looked he saw fire, smoke and bullets fly into the sky. The sound of gunfire and the screams of people could be heard. Frost only had his combat knife on him since most of his gear got scattered when he went flying.
It had been two hours since Frost regained consciousness and he was still lost. As he continued to maintain a low profile he saw a space marine who had been killed. His weapons still there. Frost was in a dire situation and decided to take the weapons. He also found a small diary on the space marine with drawings of the weapons he had found. The smaller gun he found was labelled as a boltpistol and the slightly larger rifle looking gun was called a boltgun. Frost salvaged the ammo for the guns from the backpack of the space marine before seeing his arm move. Frost removed the space marine's helmet seeing a human face.
"I thought you were dead." Frost tried explaining
"It's okay…" the space marine said coughing violently. Frost took off the chest plate to see a bad flesh wound and applied rubbing alcohol on the wound to prevent infection, before grabbing a bandage from his first aid kit that was attached to his chest rig. He quickly applied the bandage to the wound before handing the space marine his chest plate and helmet.
"You don't mind if I take the boltgun, do you?" The space marine nodded before frost handed him the boltpistol. "I still need you watching my back just in case."
"Where are we heading to, commander?" the space marine asked.
"We need to find out what's going on? Frost said signalling for him to follow.
They continued to walk through the forest till they reached an opening. That's when both of them saw all the survivors of the attack. What caught his eye was that Ashley, Miriael, Shayera and Alice were all among the survivors. The fury in his body had multiplied when he saw enemies with flamethrowers and chainswords ready to kill them. Frost aimed the boltgun at the enemy who was about to kill Ashley and pulled the trigger. Bang! The armoured enemy dropped dead with a hole the size of a golf ball clean through his head. The others had prepared for combat, but nothing could be heard.
A few moments passed before Frost emerged from the shadows of the forest. His body still in pain and the fury emitting from him enough to scare everyone. Frost raised the boltgun and shot the two enemies closest to him killing them instantly before shooting the other enemies. A few minutes later all the enemies were dead. Their blood stained the grass, the bullet casing littered around. Frost changed the magazine of his boltgun before putting in on his back. He grabbed his knife and went over to the survivors before cutting the binds that had restrained them.
"Anyone got a working communicator?" Frost asked before one ultramarine stood up handing him the communicator. Frost had called for an evac craft to pick them up before a portal emerged behind him and the same warlord from before dug his claw through the back of Frost lifting his dying form into the air before tearing the claw out and leaving Frost in a pool of blood to die.
The others were taken by the warlord's troops leaving Frost alone to die. The warlord returned to his immaterium before the portal closed and the storms subsided. The evac craft had arrived. A space marine had emerged from the craft picking Frost up before carrying him back onto the evac craft.
Three weeks of emergency medical work was undertaken to save Frost's life. At times it looked grim. But Frost pulled through. Frost had returned to Earth to take time off. His injuries were slowly recovering, and he hadn't been doing well.
Admiral Hackett had entered Frost's office.
"U okay son?" He said asking Frost
"im stuck in a damn office whilst everyone who I was sworn to protect gets put in danger." Frost anger had flared and before anyone could stop him he threw stuff off his desk flipping it then punching the window so hard it cracked and was on the verge of breaking.
In the warp:
The warlord had visited the dungeon area where he kept his new prizes. He would turn them against Frost one by one. Ashley would be the last to fall but only after weeks of torment and realisation that Frost wasn't saving her this time. The gods of chaos had begun marking them as property of Slaanesh.
The warlord was pleased to see his new assets in their demonic forms. He knew Frost had sure been killed but even the gods were in for a shock when Frost would return. What would be their downfall is the fury that Frost would unleash upon them.
Earth:
Frost had disguised himself as another soldier and began his patrol. He knew that the others were in hell now. Both figuratively and without Frost's knowledge literally. After 30 minutes of patrolling Admiral Hackett had called for him.
"I'm glad to see my message got through to you." Hackett said in his usual monotone of a voice.
"You got some intel for me I presume?" Frost said
"I found some candidates to bolster your commando team." Hackett had to choose his words carefully since Frost was in a bad way.
"Send the files to my office and I'll look over them." Frost said before leaving for his office.
After arriving at his office, his secretary walked in with a coffee and the files for Frost. She knew he was in a bad way and that it remained his job to ensure that the ideals of Humanity stood strong.
"If I may suggest, your best bet is to journey with Commander John Shepherd." She said
"Mira, I know your trying to help but I need to keep a low profile." Frost said
"You said it yourself. You need to get out the office. This would be the best way." Mira said
"Maybe your right" Frost said
"Im always right commander it's why im your secretary." Mira said
"You're my secretary because im shit at paper work and can't ever get it in." Frost said earning a harsh glare from her.
"Careful commander I bite" Mira said to which Frost wolf whistled
"I wouldn't have it any other way." Frost said she then turned and left the room. As she left her sway became more seductive and her hips swung from side to side.
UN HQ Spaceport, Earth:
The new ship that had been under construction had finally been unveiled. The UNS Normandy. The ship incorporated both Human and Turian design since it was a joint project. Captain David Anderson and Commander John Shepherd were currently in talks by the entrance to the UNS Normandy. Frost had arrived with his combat gear on and his rucksack on his back. He was carrying his m4a1 with holographic sight and an undermount grenade launcher.
"Ghost reporting for duty Captain:" Frost said using his cover name.
"Welcome aboard the UNS Normandy. I'll brief you when we arrive at our mission." Anderson said
Ghost simply nodded before walking aboard and finding himself somewhere quiet enough not to be disturbed.
15 hours had passed, and the Normandy was nearing Eden Prime. Ghost didn't like being here since it brought back bad memories. Anderson had sent a message for Ghost to meet him and Shepherd at the briefing room.
Briefing room, UNS Normandy:
The original mission had been compromised and now Ghost knew he should have just kept his mouth shut about it all. The reports stated a huge vessel of unyielding power had attacked the colony and that it was burning down a lot quicker than last time. Ghost prepped his gear knowing that he was going to need to bring his 50-calibre sniper rifle.
Eden Prime:
Captain Kyra was running. Her platoon were wiped out and the destruction around her continued to take place. Two Geth drones had been chasing after her. She tripped landing on her stomach and as she was about to get up a loud bang was heard. Both drones simply crashed into the mud sparking. Ghost had walked forward with his mp5 in hand. His sniper slung over his back. He kicked both drones to ensure they were down before seeing two Geth soldiers put the body of a dead human over a spike being impaled. Ghost grabbed the captain dragging her to cover before opening fire at the Geth soldiers. They were quickly taken down since the rounds hit them in the head busting their cyclops flashlight heads.
"Who are you?" Kyra demanded going to grab her sidearm only for Ghost to stamp on her gun preventing her using it.
"Who I am doesn't matter, what matters is the beacon." Ghost said pointing his mp5 at her.
"stand down Ghost." John said arriving with Lieutenant Kaiden Alenko and lance corporal Richard Jenkins. Ghost simply walked over to his bit of cover looking out for any Geth to blast. Ghost simply signalled that he was going ahead and left before anyone could help.
John, Kaiden, Kyra and Richard moved forward attacking any Geth they encountered then saw the spikes that once held humans descend and the humans now converted to mindless cybernetic husks.
Ghost had arrived at the space port seeing two turians. One of them he identified as Nihlus but the second turian was a mystery to him. Ghost saw the second Turian pull a gun on Nihlus and Ghost pulled the trigger to his sniper sending a round at the turian. The round slammed of his shields alerting Nihlus to his killer. The turian ran off with fifty calibre rounds slamming objects near him including boxes and approaching Geth infantry. Nihlus had remained in cover the entire time to not get hit by the number of rounds that were devastating the Geth forces near him.
A couple of minutes later Ghost reached Nihlus safely signalling to him to follow him. He then lead the way through the colony tearing apart any Geth resistance that was set up against him. Nihlus was disarming the last bomb when John and his team arrived. Ghost had picked off the last Geth trooper then looked at John.
"Your late." Ghost said in his usual emotionless tone
"We were dealing with a Geth patrol that had ambushed this group of marines." The group of marines had finally caught up and readied themselves for the next objective.
Ghost simply shrugged his shoulders then walked over to where the Prothean beacon was located. Captain Kyra had stepped too close to the beacon before it began to drag her towards it. John ran past Kaiden and push Kyra out the way only to be struck by the beacon. John was out cold within seconds of the beacon exploding.
"Kaiden call in extraction, I got the commander." Ghost said as he dragged John away from the remains of the beacon. Moments later the UNS Normandy had arrived and Ghost picked up John slinging him over both of his shoulders before carrying him onboard. The rest of the survivors followed Ghost onboard before the Normandy lifted off and left Eden Prime.
UNS Normandy, in-route to the Citadel:
John had finally woken up and was being attended to by doctor Karen Chakwas. Ghost had gone to the kitchen to grab another MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) from the refrigeration unit. He then sat down at the table and began eating. Five minutes later captain Anderson had waked past to go check on shepherd.
Ghost decided he was going to go down to the armoury and fix his gun. Ghost had been fixing his m4 rifle for the twelfth time when Captain Kyra had gone to see him.
"I want to apologise for what happened down on Eden Prime." Kyra said only for Ghost to ignore her completely. Ghost had heard the ship dock before grabbing his sling bag, his sidearm holster with his m9a1 sidearm in, his body armour and his m4 rifle before pushing past her and leaving the ship.
Citadel:
Ghost had joined Captain Anderson, John, Kaiden, Richard and Kyra at the UN Embassy.
"This is an outrage…" Udina the human representative begun stating only for Ghost to step forward.
"The council don't give a damn about humanity. Face it we would need to be down to the last humans on Earth before they would consider. So, lets make it clear, for every human that's been killed by your rogue spectre, I will personally kill ten members of each of your species till you come to terms that im happy with." Ghost said in a cold manner scaring everyone.
"Now just a minute…" The turian councillor tried to say only for Ghost to jump in.
"Every time Humanity looks for assistance you've ignored us. Every fight we had to endure we did alone without your help. But you have the audacity to take credit for the actions of humans who went above and beyond their calling as soldiers." Ghost spat with venom in his voice pointing a finger of accusation at them.
"Please come to terms that our decisions affect trillions…" Tevos said.
"Marshall Commander Westbrook was right about you lot. You won't admit a threat exists until it's seconds from ending your pitiful existences. Do tell Tevos, who did you pleasure enough to tell the galactic community that Humanity are and will remain second rate citizens. Our navies could erase your existence, our armies shall trample you, our tanks will crush you and our artillery will bring the skies crashing down upon you." Ghost said clearly pissed off with council.
"Please understand that we have to make difficult choices." Tevos said clearly scared by Ghost.
"Your 'difficult' choices seem to consistently screw humanity over so why don't you suck me off." Ghost said
"Im sorry if our choices have affected humanity but we have to do it." Tevos said scared that Ghost may flip.
"Your sorry? YOUR SORRY?! You're the reason Humanity has been forced to work alone." Ghost yelled making the others in the room back away quickly.
"How about we make a new deal that suits both sides?" Tevos said making Udina jump at the opportunity.
"We accept…" Udina never got the chance to finish as Ghost knocked him out cold.
"We are done here." Ghost slammed the control panel ending the meeting.
Ghosts simply turned looking at the others then walking out. The others had called for a medical team since Udina ended up with a broken nose and a head concussion. Ghost had ventured off to a nearby bar. He decided he needed to have a drink and went with a bottle of water. A couple of Turians and an asari commando walked behind him pulling guns on him.
"Saren brought some rookies to try to kill me." Ghost said in an ice cold manner before laughing. The laugh was enough to make the asari reconsider her choice. The two turians saw this and one tried to grab her only to see his buddy get flung straight into the shelf of drinks. Ghost then grabbed the other turian by his throat lifting him off the floor. John and the others had arrived to see the turian get his windpipe crushed before being thrown at a nearby window sending him into the city below. The Asari commando begged for her life and Ghost knew he won. He grabbed her dragging her away.
Seven hours had passed and the Asari commando had joined Ghost. Ghost had really sent a message. They were now at the meeting chambers and were discussing the C-SEC findings. Saren was present through comms.
"So, the chicken shit returns." Ghost said arriving with his 50-calibre rifle resting on his shoulder.
"Who the hell is this? Another of Captain Anderson's goons." Everyone got real nervous afterwards seeing that Ghost was ready to start killing.
"Im the guy that saved Nihlus from your treachery, im the guy who sent you running whilst destroying your Geth partners. So, chicken shit if you want a rematch im here on the citadel or are you afraid I may tear your skull out and hang it on my wall." The tension was at critical.
"Can we please get back to the situation at hand?" Tevos said clearly starting to get annoyed.
"Oh, shut up you half witted moron. Tevos I do wonder whether you spent your young days slinging your body on the streets. Cause I know too many women like you. They claim to be all powerful but in truth they are little more than servants." Ghost said shocking everyone.
Tevos was on the verge of bursting into tears whilst Saren and Ghost were in the midst on a shouting war that was getting more and more offensive by the second.
"ENOUGH!" Tevos shouted in anger.
They all looked at her then Ghost said "I like this side of her. Seems more productive." Tevos was on the brink of bursting into tears. "See what you've done Saren. Your stupidity caused this." Saren ended his communication very angry and Tevos had run to her office in tears. They all looked at Ghost with the look saying, 'fix this or else'. "Fine I'll fix this as usual I guess." Ghost said walking towards Tevos's office.
The Asari councillor's office:
The door opened, and Ghost walked in to see her on the nearby sofa crying into the pillow. Ghost closed the door behind him and sat across from her.
"I presume I struck a bad nerve." Tevos looked up nodding slightly with her makeup running down her face.
"I'm… sorry. You were right… about my younger days." She said sniffling.
"Hey your fine. Least you had something." Ghost said
Tevos looked at Ghost as his hand began shaking at the thought of his past. The knock on the door was Ghost's reminder that time's up. Ghost simply walked over to the balcony before jumping down landing in the water.
Thirty minutes had passed, and Ghost had finally returned to the Normandy. He found that everyone was in the communication room and decided to go to the armoury. Ghost continued to work on his weaponry alone with only the desk light on to minimalize the light. Kyra had arrived and simply watched him. Ghost looked at her.
"Great another distraction what do you want?" Ghost said his manner even colder than before.
"I just wanted to get to know you." Kyra said innocently.
That was the final straw for Ghost as he threw a chair at her. "Why can't you just leave me alone? I would have left you on Eden Prime. I saved you twice in one mission and now you suddenly think that we should be friends." Anderson and John had arrived to see Kyra trying to communicate with Ghost.
"Please calm down. Ghost please." Ghost had calmed down then sat down by his desk. She walked over to him to ensure he was ok. "I know your angry but please try to understand that we are on the same team." She said in a gentle voice before she saw Anderson and John standing there.
"You okay?" Anderson asked to which Kyra nodded.
Ghost simply walked past them going to the kitchen area to grab some grub. John had gone with Kyra and Jenkins to retrieve evidence. A few hours had passed, and word had been sent to both Captain Anderson and Ghost that the hearing was about to begin. They left for the hearing together and the silence was enough to say that something was wrong.
Citadel, council chambers:
"The massacre on Eden Prime was a success. The beacon has brought us one step closer to the conduit… and one step closer to the return of the reapers." The voice of Saren present in the recording and another voice.
"Time to lynch Saren if you ask me." Ghost said
"The evidence is irrefutable. Saren will be stripped of his spectre status." The turian councillor stated.
"Anyone catch the second voice in the evidence?" Ghost asked
"That second voice was matriarch Benezia. A well-respected matriarch at that as well with many followers." Tevos said
"Something tells me im going to need a bigger gun." Ghost said with all of them looking at him.
"Sure, your heavy sniper won't cut it?" John asked
"Against Saren's flagship it would be like a toothpick against an aircraft carrier." Ghost replied
"If that will be all..." Tevos never finished that line since Ghost had literally jumped up.
"Saren has to be stopped. If that means you have to make John a spectre then you will do it. That way it's a win win situation. You don't have to send a fleet in, I get to butcher that chicken shit Saren and Galactic peace holds for now."
"Humanity is not ready for the responsibilities of the galactic order." The turian councillor said
"Humanity is the centre piece of most civilisations, diplomacy and peacekeeping. We defend thousands of star systems; our navies represent our abilities to bring peace freedom and liberty to all no matter what and we have built huge amounts of infrastructure costing trillions of credits to defend even your homeworld. Im pretty sure we are beyond ready if anything it's been overdue now." Ghost replied clearly ready to put the council in their place.
"very well then Ghost and John shepherd please step forward." Tevos said
"Wait! If im doing this I want it under my official name not my code name." John and Anderson both went wide eyed when Ghost said this.
"Are you telling us that you've been using a codename the entire time since this incident started?" Tevos said to which ghost nodded.
Ghost took off his helmet, then his sunglasses followed by his ski mask revealing the face of Marshall Commander Frost Derek James Westbrook. The cameras had caught all of this and they televised to all corners of the galaxy.
Utter silence. Frost put his sunglasses back on followed by his helmet before looking at the council.
"We got a rogue spectre to hunt and two decorated war heroes to make spectres." Frost said
"Of course." Tevos said with a smile on her face.
The ceremony lasted two hours with Both John and Frost being declared as the first spectres of Human race. All over the galaxy people were celebrating both the new spectres and the return of Marshall commander Westbrook.
UNS Normandy, citadel:
Both Frost and John had returned to see Udina and Anderson waiting for them.
"one of our colonies, Feros, went silent an hour ago. At this time, we think Saren is involved. We also have a situation on Terra Nova requiring your assistance, and we have found you someone who can help with your vision John. An asari who studied the disappearance of the Prothean Race. Her name is Liara T'soni." Anderson said.
"John, I say we split up. I'll go to Terra Nova you and your crew head to Feros. Once you're finished with Feros meet at Terra Nova." Frost said to John.
"Good call Frost." John said
"Anderson can you contact the UNS Titan and have them send my fighter." Frost asked Anderson
"I'll send word for the UNS Titan to deliver your fighter." Anderson said.
"Thanks this will give me time to ensure im geared up." Frost said.
John boarded the UNS Normandy SR1 and Frost watched as the UNS Normandy SR1 departed from the citadel. Frost then grabbed his gear and walked over to the dock awaiting his fighter.
A few minutes passed as the fighter arrived. Frost climbed in f-35 lightning fighter. The fighter had undergone much prototyping to make it space-worth and now the UN were mass producing them. Frost put his gear in the space behind his seat hearing a female complain.
"OWWW!" Frost looked at her instantly identifying her.
"Shadow?! What are doing in my fighter?" Frost yelled at her.
"Im coming with you to your next mission." Frost simply groaned not liking this.
"Fine but you follow my orders to the letter no exception." Frost said
"Jeez someone's grouchy." Shadow said.
Frost piloted the fighter out the bay and began flying away from the citadel. They flew to distress beacon at Terra Nova which took about four hours.
"Alright the distress beacon seems to be coming from the mined out Asteroid that Terra Nova planned to use as a shipyard. It looks like there is a distress call going to us." Frost said
"Mayday… Mayday… Batarians have seized control of the meteor and plan to drive it into the capital of Terra Nova. Please help." Then the comm link went dead.
Frost wasted no time and landed the fighter before grabbing his helmet and his rifle. He jumped out the fighter with Shadow following him. They advanced towards the first fusion generator. Outside must have been three guards. Frost quickly silenced them before advancing on the door. Shadow follows in then closes the door behind her. She would stay by the door to prevent reinforcements arriving. Frost spared no time and quickly and methodically killed off all the Batarian terrorists. Frost reached the control room before shutting down the engine. On the way out, they found the chief engineer on the rock.
"Thank God you're here" The chief engineer said
"My name is Marshall Commander Frost Derek James Westbrook. My partner in crime over there is Captain Shadow. We are Commissioned Officers in the UN military. May I ask your name?" Frost asked in a professional tone that made Shadow blush under her helmet.
"My name is Simon Atwell. Im the chief engineer here on this rock." He said
"Simon I need to know something." Frost said
"What is it?" Simon said
"Why are the Batarians here?" Frost stated
"I think they want to use the asteroid to destroy the colony." Frost internally groaned
"We will head out stay here and if we find any survivors we will send them here." Frost said
Frost and Shadow moved to the next facility killing any Batarians in the facility and turning off the fusion core before moving on. They reached the final fusion core facility only to encounter anti-vehicle mines. They managed to get past them disabling the mines before entering the final fusion engine. As they prepared to leave the facility they ran into a group of Batarians. A quick showdown and some persuasion reminded these Batarians that Frost was a force to be reckoned with. They left quickly and gave the terrorist leader's location to Frost.
At the main HQ:
The survivors had been rounded up and put into a room with the bomb. Frost entered the main room seeing the hostages and the terrorist leader. Balak soon entered the room with his two guards and a barely tamed varren. A tense stand-off leads to Frost's AI disarming the bombs before Balak could pull the trigger and his entourage all being killed. Balak gets shot in the leg twice and Frost kicks the gun near Balak away from him. Shadow arrives, and cuffs Balak before Frost knocked him out cold.
Frost walked towards the room where the hostages were and freed them. The chief engineer turns up again thanking them for their heroic actions. Shortly after departing the UNS Normandy arrived they departed for the Citadel.
Citadel:
The journey seemed quicker than usual to Frost but he didn't question it. The UNS Normandy had docked and they were now handing over an unconscious Balak to the C-SEC team that was waiting. They had sent him off for processing whilst Frost and John had headed for the council chambers.
They had arrived to give a debrief on the situation in the traverse. With the capture of Balak still fresh in everyone's minds it was a clear and good-reasoned decision for choosing Frost as a spectre.
The rest of the meeting went by without any form of notice. John and Frost continued to talk as they headed for the UNS Normandy.
"John you go get your Asari babe I'll go to spectres requisitions and see what they got to offer." Frost said as John chuckled before leaving Frost to his thoughts.
Frost was thinking to himself. He knew something was off about all of this. Someone was pulling the strings to this masquerade and Frost was about to find them. Then it hit him. Frost had realised that ninety percent of all those who were kidnapped by that warlord were females. Frost knew he needed to find out how to find them.
Frost had spent the last few hours looking through the inventory seeing the black widow sniper rifle. Frost knew he would need an arsenal of weapons for this to work. He purchased the rifle before leaving with it being transferred to his command ship the UNS Titan.
A few hours passed when the UNS Normandy returned John walked out to see Frost waiting.
"You decide to plan your future with blueberry here on the way? Your late." Frost said to see John and the asari blush like mad.
"Marshall Commander Frost Derek James Westbrook, I am Doctor Liara T'soni." The blue asari said.
"Nice to see ya breathing doc." She looked at Frost confused then realised that it was probably a human thing.
Frost grabbed his gear before boarding the UNS Normandy.
Virmire:
A few hours had passed as the UNS Normandy had arrived at Virmire. They disembarked the Mako to find an STG detachment under the command of Captain Kirrahe. Frost and Kirrahe discuss the necessary plan for the mission whilst John talks Wrex into realising that the cure here must be destroyed.
Frost briefed everyone on the operation. Kyra would join the STG in their assault whilst Shepherd and his crew would infiltrate the facility to disrupt it and find evidence. Frost would solo the AA guns and cause havoc.
With the plan in place everybody embarked on their objective. Frost ran towards the door before kicking it in seeing a group of Geth troops. Frost pulled the pin of the emp grenade frying their circuits before advancing.
Ten minutes of explosions and mayhem later the tactical nuke was in position and everybody was pushing towards evac. Kyra and Kirrahe ran towards Frost telling him that they need to exfil immediately. The three of them ran to evac with things exploding around them. The Normandy had arrived at the nuke site and John was busy getting everyone aboard. The three of them arrived running towards the Normandy. John could see the number of Geth and explosions following them and decided it was time to go fast.
Joker kicked the Normandy into full power flying as far from Virmire as they could before the Nuke detonated destroying the base.
"Joker, I owe you a case of beer." Frost said slowly regaining his breath. "Now you see cheerleader how the top dog rolls." Frost said patting Kyra's shoulder making her blush from calling her cheerleader.
Citadel:
John and Frost had arrived with the others to give the debrief on what transpired on Virmire.
"Score 1 me score 0 rogue turian." Frost chuckled.
They all looked at him uneasy.
"What? His ego is worse than my need for battle." The others laughed at this, but they knew it was true.
"So, you used a nuke on a garden world and call that discreet." The Turian councillor stated.
"Well we killed an abomination with mistress death's favourite toy. Nuke them back to the stone ages." Frost said.
"Well I'd say problem solved." The turian councillor said.
Frost internally facepalmed so hard he thought he had given himself a head concussion.
"Saren is loose and knowing him he will continue his war regardless of our Rambo style guerrilla war against his research facility. Besides if we leave this a lot of people will die." Frost said
"Saren has nothing left he is no longer a threat." The Asari councillor said.
"Why are you politicians so far up your own arses?" Frost asked hearing a few of the soldier fail miserably at containing their laughter.
"Your mission is finished spectre await further instructions." The Turian inspector stated before the meeting was dissolved.
In a bar, citadel:
"The UNS Normandy has been put on lockdown." John said
"soon enough Saren will attack we need to be ready and we need to get to Ilos to stop this insanity before we end up getting our heads served at a tribunal." Frost said as John nodded.
"Then maybe we can help." Said a voice as Frost and john looked to see Captain Anderson and John's little sister Jane standing in front of them.
Frost and John made room at their booth to let the new guests sit down. Jane quickly taking the seat next to Frost only for Frost to see an amused look on both Anderson and John's face.
"Don't. Even. Start." Frost said in a low and deadly voice.
Frost simply grabbed his cup taking another drink. The brandy had a measly burn unworthy of calling it a burn. Jane simply moved closer to Frost only for Frost to push her back. After a few minutes of struggling she ended up on his lap. Frost simply sighed knowing it was already a long enough day.
"We need to get to Ilos." Frost said looking at Anderson.
"I can remotely order the release from the ambassador's computer." Anderson said quietly so only the three in the same booth could hear him.
"Do it." Frost said.
Frost got up much to the disappointment of Jane who was comfortable. John and Jane followed Frost to the Normandy whilst Anderson went to the human embassy. Anderson entered the human embassy seeing Councillor Udina at his workstation. Anderson then knocked out Udina before accessing the workstation. He sent the release order for UNS Normandy allowing the ship to leave the citadel quickly. Amidst the confusion the UNS Normandy quickly leaves the system.
Onboard the UNS Normandy:
Frost was looking through the armoury ensuring all the guns armour and vehicle components were in tip top shape. Everyone else were upstairs grabbing some grub or so Frost had thought. Kyra had stood next to him edging closer by the second.
"I know what you want Kyra. And I can't give it to you. People who end up close to me end up disappearing or worse and right now I've got to ensure that this problem is dealt with quickly." Frost said in an emotionless voice.
"Am I not good enough? Is that it?!" Kyra started yelling
"When this is all over, I promise we will get to be together. Even if I have to come back from the dead a thousand times over." Frost said
"I… understand" Kyra stated before running off.
Frost continued to prep his gear knowing he had a tough fight ahead of him. A few hours had passed before Frost had put on his gear and arrived at the bridge.
"The drop zone is a risky endeavour, but I can pull it off." Frost said as he arrived to deliver a solution to the crew who had been arguing.
"Then you and me will do this alone." John stated shocking the crew.
"Well John I like your sense of endorsing danger. Let's do that. Joker take the Normandy straight to Earth and tell UN command that I'm ordering the UNS Titan and the 16th fleet to prepare for an attack on the Citadel." Frost stated before him and John disembarked for Ilos.
Ilos:
The mako had hit the ground hard causing some minor scratches but had landed in the 20m space successfully. Frost and John had pushed through the ancient temple finding the console needed to open up the locked door. They continued to push deeper into the facility where they were confronted by a Prothean AI which Frost's AI had integrated with to obtain all information on it's drives before letting it rest for all eternity. They then progressed to the conduit which was a mini mass relay which Saren had used to infiltrate the citadel.
Citadel:
The mako had spun out of control before landing on the roof. John and Frost had jumped out before blasting through husks and geth alike whilst Frost's custodian powers had purified both the geth and organics.
Frost had extended his powers to the entire system ensuring that all was purified before proceeding to the council meeting chamber. There Frost had purified Saren before re-establishing communications and unlocking the mass relay allowing the UN and council forces to retaliate alongside the now freed geth forces to destroy the reaper once and for all.
The UNS Titan unleashed a barrage capable of destroying entire fleets into the reaper tearing it apart before the railguns vaporised its core. The reaper exploded with red lightning tearing its vessel apart. A part of the vessel collided with council's chamber causing a large amount of damage from within. Frost got up afterwards helping Saren up but it seemed that John had disappeared. A piece of rubble fell and the search party saw both Frost and Saren which caused some alarm but Frost quickly disarmed the tension.
UN Headquarters, Earth, 2 weeks after the destruction of the reaper:
Frost was wearing his formal military wear and was standing infront of a podium. The media had flooded in by the mile once word got out about the attack on the Citadel.
"Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,
Im sure that everyone is aware of the incident on the citadel that occurred two weeks ago. Im here today to address this.
First and foremost I must commend the resolve of C-SEC, the citadel defence fleet and of the UN forces who assisted in the endeavour to secure the citadel. Throughout this operation there have been many who would wonder why the citadel was attacked. The citadel serves as a major political post and thus if it had fallen the damage would have been catastrophic to the council races, the races in council space as well as the UN and her allies. The perpetrators of this incident have yet to be confirmed however it must be made clear that the geth were also victims of this. They had their freedom stripped from them and we will as people stand together to protect those who need our strength.
I am also here this morning to award the crew of the Normandy, Captain Anderson, Commander John Shepherd and Captain Kyra with the distinguished medal of honour.
Their actions throughout recent days have enabled the people of the UN, the council as well as all other races to live in peace. For this we must also reflect on the loss of many good servicemen and servicewomen who had been killed to help bring a resolution to the table and quickly.
Thank you, ladies and Gentlemen for your time."
Frost had marched off the podium before going into the HQ. The news Frost was about to receive was going to be some very blood boiling news indeed.
Frost had just arrived at his office and entered to see generals from across the UN, Citadel races as well as the R.I.N (Republic of Independent Nations) all standing in his office with grim looks on their faces.
