Chapter 3
Hey guys! Here's #3!
I'm uploading the next chapter for every story. I'm going to let some steam out for today. I hope these will satisfy your reading needs!
Tevos secured the last clasp of her Asari Commando armor. She turned to see Matriarch Lidanya.
"Councillor, are you sure about this?" She asked.
"Yes, and no-one will change my mind," she replied.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because...I love the Commander..." The councillor admitted.
The older Asari's eyes went wide, "You love Glen Shepard?"
"Yes, he's all I ever need, and I cannot live without him."
"I don't believe that."
"He looked past the politician part of me, and looked on the inside."
"You are a good girl, I'll give you that," Lidanya said with a Smile.
Tevos smiled back, "Thanks, Matriarch."
She nodded, "Now, do you need an escort?"
Tevos shook her head, "I do not need one."
"Are you sure? Who knows what you'll find out there."
"I have my Biotics," she said, glowing in it for a moment, "as well as my disciple."
She nodded, "Ok, if you run into trouble, call us."
Tevos nodded back, "I will, thank you again, Lidanya."
The Matriarch stepped to the side, allowing Tevos to walk by.
Tevos made her way down the ramp of the Destiny Ascension.
The Ship itself had planetary gravity alternators to reverse the gravity around the ship to allow it to hover safely above the surface while engineers from various species worked on the engines.
Luckily, The Destiny Ascension landed next to where, she heard, was the beam of the Citadel. She was going to head there to look for Glen, and Nobody was going to keep her from doing so.
She reached the bottom of the ramp. She pulled out her Disciple to put a fresh clip in, then holstered it.
"Let's get started," she said to herself, then headed off to the beam.
What most people didn't know, Glen excluded, that she received advanced biotic training, as well as advanced combat training. They were still fresh in her mind.
She took a look around. There were numerous fallen reaper capital ships. She also noticed the destruction they've caused. Did Thessia look like this? She wondered. There was good chance it did. She felt sorry for Glen when he failed to obtain the information on the catalyst. She shed tears for her home-world when he reported Thessia has fallen.
She looked ahead to see the platform of the beam. There was a path going up to the left, she's heard that's where The Alliance forces charged from. She moved up.
There were a lot of dead bodies around the beam. Perhaps, when the Citadel self-destructed, it sent all the bodies on board, to Earth.
She saw some figures in white and orange armor. She recognized them instantly,
"Cerberus," she snarled.
She pulled out her Disciple, and readied. She charged her Biotics as she boosted her speed towards the troopers, there were four. One of them spotted her, and alerted his comrades. They all fired at her. She zigzagged, dodging the shots she could and allowing her shields to take the rest.
She closed in on one with a charged fist, with her other hand holding her Disciple, she delivered the blow, sending flying. She jumped and biotically roundhouse kicked one to her right, sending him into a crumbled wall that collapsed even more on him, crushing the man.
One to her left tried stabbing her with a wrist blade, she ducked, holstering her shotgun as she grabbed his arm, charged biotically, spun the guy around, then releasing the trooper into the last one. They hit the ground while she closed in with her Disciple.
Two shots were fired. One into each trooper, finishing them.
She blew the bluish smoke from the barrel, then holstered the Disciple.
"Don't fuck, with the Asari," she said to no-one in particular.
She faced the area around the beam. Bodies everywhere, and she's willing to dig through them to find her man, hoping to the Goddess, that he was still alive.
She moved towards the first bodies near the beam platform. She flared her Biotics as she carefully lifted, one layer by layer, setting them aside while she searched each body carefully.
The Councillor got through the first pile. She moved on to the next.
She looked up as she heard a ship approaching, she saw a familiar ship, she didn't recognize it until it came up close, It was The Normandy. Her eyes went wide as it landed some distance from the beam. The cargo door opened with several of the crew filing out.
She resumed her filing of the bodies, layer by layer, she searched carefully. If he was wounded, she didn't want to pick him up.
"Hey, Who are you?" Came a voice from behind. She put down the next level of bodies.
She turned to see a burly man.
"Councillor Tevos?" A man next to him in blue armor with white stripes asked.
"Yes?" She asked.
"What are you doing out here?" He asked.
"Looking for the Commander," she answered.
"What? Why?" The Burly man asked.
"...The Council wants to know if he's alive or not," she said to him.
"The Council doesn't give a shit about Shepard, what's the real reason?" The burly man asked again.
She sighed, "The Commander and I...have a relationship."
Both men's eyes went wide, "What?!" They asked simultaneously.
"Yes, I...love him..." She said.
Their jaws opened.
She gave them a look and crossed her arms, "I care about him, Valern or Sparatus may not, but I know I do,"
(Sorry, I don't know how to spell the Turian councillor's name...)
"Well, then, Councillor. We're here to help you find him. He's more than our Commander, and we're not giving up on him that easily," Kaidan said.
She nodded, "We aren't going to find him standing around. Let's get to looking."
Both men nodded. The Burly man took off, and the other stayed with her. She resumed body laying.
"I'm Kaidan, by the way," The man said.
"Ok, Kaidan, who was the other man?"
"James," Kaidan replied.
She nodded.
"You can go ahead and search the rumble, I'll do what you were doing," Kaidan said to her.
"Are you sure?"
He nodded, "I may be an L2, but I know my limits."
"Very well," Tevos said to him.
She stepped back while The Biotic stepped forward. He flared with biotics as he repeated exactly what she has done. Impressive.
The Councillor moved past him as she went searching in the rumble.
She looked to see more members of Glen's crew coming out to help with the search.
She focused on her task of rumble searching.
After what seems like an hour. She had to take a break, she was sweating waterfalls. She pushed, and strained herself, using the motivation of finding her love alive.
She sat down on a piece of debris. She wiped sweat from her forehead as she watched the others searched for their lost Commander. The Councillor looked at her hands, they were bloodied from the constant digging, She needed something other than digging through rumble with her hands to help find her man.
She activated her Omni-Tool and set it to detect life forms. It should make it a lot easier.
Tevos stood up, and set the range of the sensor. She began waving it. She walked and walked, scanning the ground. It was set to detect heartbeats. She walked for around fifteen minutes, until she heard the sound of her life. A beep, and she went right past it. She snapped it back, her heart was beating faster now.
The Beeping was slow. She moved closer, the beeping got louder. She moved up again, sweating even more now. The beeping got to the point where it's the loudest. She quickly turned her Omni-Tool off, and began digging. Despite the pain, she kept digging. She moved a few more chunks, and saw the barely recognizable N7 symbol. Her face lit up as she carefully moved more chunks aside.
She cleared the rumble above his waistline. She saw the man she loved. Tears were already falling, she felt his neck for his heartbeat. It was there, but faint.
She put her head to his. She's finally found him!
"Glen...!" She said, sobbing with her eyes closed, "You're alive...! Thank the Goddess...!" She finished with a joyful smile.
She felt a slight brush of a hand on her cheek, she opened her eyes to see his, open, smiling.
"T-Tevos..." He croaked quietly, "M-My blue goddess..."
She nodded while more tears escaped as she cried, smiling, "It's me, Glen..."
She heard quick footsteps behind her, "Commander!" It was Kaidan, he turned to yell, "Hey guys! We found him!"
And boom! That was a happy reunion, wasn't it?
I liked that little combat scene I've added. It shows Tevos isn't all talk, you know?
Thanks for Reading, and please leave a review!
