This is just an Idea I had at work, might make this into a whole thing, atleast I'll think about it :P
It was unbearably hot on Shanxi that Day, munitions exploding in the distance, rolling bombardments smashing apart trench lines and bunkers, the Turian Military had attacked Humanity, ripped apart the Defence Fleet around Shanxi taking barely any losses aswell as cutting through fleeing refugee ships like a hot knife through butter.
On the Ground though, thats where the Humans excelled, by chance there was an entire Rapid Reaction Force of Marines scheduled for training with all the bells and whistles of a front line unit, Veterans hardened in the First Interstellar Human Conflict ofcourse against itself with the Systems Alliance coming out on top.
In the Trenches these Marines managed to not only hold back the Turians under the Planetary Shield stopping any orbital bombardments, but totally fought them to a bloody standstill with the Turians having to send in constant reinforcements through the Mass Relay they held.
In one of these Trenches, Private Park lamented his shitty choice of profession, entirely sure that they were going to loose any day considering that the Hierarchy had sent in two of the Armiger Legions, elite shock troopers that fought in a mobile combat style with jets set into their armors.
And they did, the Turian special forces rolled over the Human Trenches slaughtering everything in their path, the Marines having to fall back under the cover of heavy artillery fire.
Human Railgun Weapons were easily able to rip apart Turian Armor, even the hardened heavy armor of the Armigers, but against such an aggressive enemy, even the veteran Marines paled, that was until they reached the last trench line, where Tanks, IFV's and heavy weapon emplacements already waited, poised to strike back against the Armigers, but even this wasnt enough as the heavy trench warfare continued, mounting losses for the Humans making their position unholdable for the foreseeable future, right up to the moment when Park raised above the Parapets, firing his T9 "Hacksaw" Railmachine gun, magnetic rails accelerating heavy spikes in quick succession, sawing apart two Turians following its namesake, but those two were nothing against the hundreds following behind them, he was sure he'd die before a heavy hand pushed him down back into the Trenches, whirring servo's signalling some kind of powered exoskeleton, the N-X Soldier that pushed him down grinned, putting his fully enclosed Helmet on, covering his weatherbeaten Face and shouted over the noises of battle. "Isn't it a great sunny Day, Private Park?" following that came a bark of laughter.
Park didn't know the Soldier, but he certainly knew the N-X programm, resulting in the 8 feet tall armored behemoth next to him, a Tower Shield on the left arm with a big hafted Omnispear on the other, coupled with a N-X "Devastator" Railgun, capable of outputting tremendous energies, easily able to punch through even Tanks.
Along the Trench Lines were several of these Behemoths, atleast fifty, so the entirety of N-X's on the Planet, as one they heaved themselves over onto Deadman's Land, Turian Mass Accelerator fire pinging of their hardened Shields, Armor and the Tower Shield.
"TURIANS!" The booming Voice came from N-Master Sergeant Hawk's Armor, the one infront of Park's Position.
"I DO BELIEVE THIS IS OUR PLANET, SO WOULD YOU KINDLY VACATE THE PREMISES?"
The answer to the screaming Human was short and concise, a sniper shot to the helmet that ricocheted off of it and straight into Park, blowing his Torso apart.
Hawk looked behind him, igniting the Omni Spear, the loud whine of the Devastator on his spear loading up. "Well shit... Now you've made me angry."
Two clicks on the N-X Battlenet sounded before the angry voice of Hawk sounded out through it. "Formation Charging Bull, give them the Horns."
Along the entire line all 50 of the N-X Spartans, this subvariant of the N-X Program ignited their Spears before they began to light up, blue-black energies playing over their Armor as they activated their Biotics, charging nary a second later. Fifty blue lightnings crashing into the Armiger Lines and Trenches, the first casualty being the Tank behind the Marksman that shot Park as its armor is entire cored through by the high energy Devastator Spike, setting of its Mass Effect core and annihilating everything in a twenty feet radius, the next casualty was the Marksman, being introduced to the hot Omniforged spearblade ramming through his mandibles.
Days later the Asari managed to stop the entirety of the War with Diplomacy, the Human Fleet atleast partly demolished with the Turians nursing their Armiger Legions and their pride at being annihilated by front line special forces, the N-X loosing twelve of its fifty Soldiers in the fighting each with a bodycount far surpassing a hundred.
Humanity wasn't going to take the Galaxy's shit lying down and with this they made that clear.
