*A trip to London has robbed me of three days and Fable 3 will take a good few more, then black ops so unfortunately things may be slower than they already are.
Remember comment, rate ,review. I'm sorry if the later chapters aren't as good I just sort of ran out of enthusiasm half way through but I wanted to finish this. Next Fanfic I've got loads of idea's so I think it will be my best.*
''Ok Jack here's the plan.'' hastily shouted Jacob as the duo slowly backed away from the encroaching horde. ''I'll take that one on the right you, you take the 30 or so on the left.'' said Jacob casting glancing around the room looking for an easy passage of escape.
''You gotta be f*cking with me? I thought you Cerberus goons were good at fighting?'' asked Jack contempt clear in her eyes.
''Oh we are.'' assured Jacob. ''just not when we are outnumbered 20 : 1, we have no weapon and when we have such a huge hangover I can barely keep my hands steady.'' he finished.
Jack just gave a grunt before releasing a biotic shockwave at the horde, it sent half a dozen of the group flying outwards and only 3 on them got back up again.
''C'mon your 3 behind.'' laughed Jack already summoning another shockwave.
Determined to impress the convict Jacob dug into himself and let loose a throw at one of the heavy pieces of furniture towards a close cluster of enemies trying to sneak in from behind, most of them dove out of the way but the slower one was caught in the impact and was left against the wall, his head bent at a unnatural angle.
''I'm catching up.'' said Jacob before a glance to Jack shut him up.
Her entire figure was bathed in glowing blue light , her teeth clenched and her eyes narrowed, her every muscle was wound tight, muscle's straining on her bare arms. One arm was raised upwards holding up a couple enemies who struggled feebly in the zero-G. In her other arm a large glowing ball of biotic energy was massing . Suddenly the blue glow rippled like a wave as she shot her arm forward and sent the warp hurdling into the floating enemies. As if shot by a cannon the two men sky rocketed into the ceiling. One remained there firmly embedded into the rock while the other slowly peeled off before crashing into the ground. As the fire extinguished from her body she once again looked for suitable targets but Jacob could plainly see the dullness in her movements and the glazed look of fatigue in her eyes.
''You alright?'' asked Jacob.
''Shut it and keep killing em!'' gasped Jack launching a warp at a closing Vorcha.
Sensing that the duo were tiring the horde picked up there pace and began to press the advantage. Jacob lifted a trio in the air while Jack sent them slamming into an encroaching group, unfortunately the power behind the biotic was gradually getting weaker and more and more of the people were picking themselves up after being launched.
Jacob launched another warp at the enemy managing to kill a single enemy and snapping the leg of another causing him to fall on the floor writhing and screaming. Slumping to the ground exhausted by the extensive use of biotics in his already tired state left him defenceless. Looking up he could see Jack standing there dead on her feet attempting to summon another wave of biotic energy.
Slowly realising that the enemy was powerless the group of 20 or so remaining hostile's prowled towards them. Suddenly one of the most rewards of the group suddenly let out a shriek that was cut short. Eye's snapped towards the scene as they saw the body -its head twisted into a crooked angle- slump to the ground . Behind the corpse stood Garrus, his bonds cut and his chest heaving in anger. What caused everyone to flinch, Jack and Jacob included was his eyes. The often humour filled or calm chips of ice blazed with previously unseen anger.
''Lord! What is wrong?'' wailed a nearby Vorcha throwing himself at Garrus's feet while others simply stood there transfixed.
Garrus merely responded by raising his leg and brought in slamming down on the neck of the grovelling Vorcha which brought a satisfying crack echoing through the silent hall. Plucking the heavy crown from his head he threw it at a bumbling Volus sending him unconscious to the floor.
The silence that followed the quick take down of the 3 cultists astonished everyone , the turian however took a menacing step forward and said in a dangerous tone. ''No one kidnaps me!'' in a such a way that if words could kill, the reapers themselves would be fleeing.
''Well then Alf seems we are in for a fight after all.'' muttered the weasel faced man his eyes containing slivers of doubt at the suddenly less one sided fight. It seemed that the other thugs thought the same way and a few attempted to back away. That was until Francis stepped forward clasped the nearest thug's head in a huge scaly slab of muscle, without even a grunt of effort he popped the man's skull and threw away the corpse.
''Anyone else want to have second thoughts?'' asked the krogan glaring the others. Motivated by the grisly death of there comrade the remaining men set to surround the two groups.
''Well then lads we haven't had a decent scrap in ages, just the occasional whore dumb enough to follow us.'' sneered Alf obviously hinting towards the action that Tali herself was about to take.
Shepard also recognized this and bristled with rage at the off hand insult to his fiancé. ''you're going to pay for that ugly!'' he raged.
''Oh really? Well then I seems we have a little ultimate showdown eh?'' the Turian sneered waving his hatchet in front of him in a menacing manner.
''Of Ultimate Destiny?'' piped in Joker, when people around him started giving him weird looks he merely shrugged his shoulders. ''what? You never heard the song? Oh never mind.'' as he retreated back against the bar wall.
A burly batarian made the first move as he lunged at Zaeed with a worn pocket knife, the mercenary easily dodged the amateur blow and came underneath the outstretched arm with his shoulder rose and deftly snapped the bone before spinning around and delivering a knock out punch to the batarian jaw cracking it and sending the man hurdling backward.
The brief but intense fight was a catalyst for everyone else, patrons not wanting to get caught in the fire quickly scrambled out windows while the barman ducked behind the bar and began to dial the number for C-sec. The combatants took this however as the point in which to attack.
''Tesh shoot that bastard!'' growled Alf as the weasel faced man pointed his gunpowder fire arm at Shepard suddenly before he could fire he let out a pained cry and collapsed to the floor in a writhing moaning mess. Mordin smiled at his handy-work and loaded up his Omni-tool for another neural shock.
Shepard lunged forward to get his hands on Alf before the man evaded the dive. dam he is good thought Shepard rolling away and springing up before the man could gain an advantage must be ex-military. The two circled around each other, both waiting for the other to make the first move, while around them all hell had broken loose.
Miranda stood circled by thugs unsure as to how they should approach the curved beauty in front of them, Miranda on the other hand had no such qualm as she gave precise kicks and punches to throats and groins occasionally amplified with a biotic push.
Zaeed seemed to be in his element as he flung himself into the bar fight and used such dirty handed tactics with so much zeal that even the heartless scum of the wards balked at him. Such pauses proved deadly as Zaeed lashed a fist into a man's crotch resulting in a high pitched shriek before a chop the neck silenced the man.
Kasumi proved to have a supernatural talent for not being there when a thugs blow landed simply weaving and bending out of the way to deliver a series of rapid punches in retaliation, while she lacked the power and mass of Miranda and Zaeed she made up for it with the rate of her punches and her ability to make sure not a single blow struck her.
Grunt still lost in his delusional didn't see this like the others:
The Brave and Valiant Grunt-a-saurus-rex infiltrated the villains secret underwater, volcanic, outer space lab. Before him his brave comrade's fought valiantly against the vile henchmen of the dreaded Dr EvilMcBadman. Stood there with his monocle and evil moustache stood the mad krogan scientist.
Knowing what he must do, Grunt-a-saurus-rex charged towards the villain preparing to place himself in the annals of history.
Joker shook his head wondering if he heard Grunt properly already he could hardly believe his immense but still strange entrance and know he charged headlong into the bar roaring something about a EvilMc something. As the tank-born moved like a force of nature the combatants wisely sprang out the way, although one lightly dimmer than the rest attempted to bring an old earth pump-action shotgun to bear on the krogan, this attempt never went anywhere as the man was sent sprawling away with 5 broken ribs and a snapped neck.
Francis saw the younger Krogan rushing towards him and turned to meet the threat.
''Heh bring it on pup!'' he laughed and pounded his fists together.
Both of the krogans were surprised as they clashed: Francis because the smaller krogan had actually moved him and grunt because his opponent was not sent sprawling. As the shock subsided the two krogans did what they did best. Hammer each other with their colossus sized fists until either their enemy were dead or they were.
It seemed now the entire fight revolved around the pair and people on both side's disengaged to avoid coming in contact with the whirling fists and shifting mountains of colliding muscle. As the pair flew into the area Shepard and Alf were fighting causing them to break apart and simply glare at each other, there chests heaving in an attempt to get enough oxygen for the fighting head.
The two men lunged at each other and quickly broke into a series of punches, kicks and blocks, neither of the men seemed to have a clear advantage. Alf had longer reach because of his knife and they both knew that a serious cut from it would end the fight much quicker, Shepard on the other hand had more advanced hand-to-hand combat training.
Blocking a savage kick to the knee Shepard let forward a quick punch but the man turned towards it so it merely struck the solid meat of his shoulder doing little damage. Shepard set a quick look over the mans shoulder and saw the Turian moving the still drunk Tali towards the door. Glancing round to see if any of the crew could offer help he was dismayed to see them all preoccupied.
Miranda was tiring no longer able to amplify her strikes with biotics and she became more and more sluggish while the opponents she originally took down had begin to clamber back up.
Mordin was under close attack by a short turian with a lead pipe and was un able to activate his Omni-tool and was backing away.
Kasumi was taking cover behind a table as a man with obvious experience was throwing large curved daggers at her, one of which was already embedded in her thigh.
Realising he would need to end this fight and quickly he did the thing his opponent least expected him to: he lunged. Not expecting his experienced opponent to make such a rash action Alf was completely unaware that Shepard made his move against him and as such only brought his knife close enough just to leave a shallow cut along Shepard's side.
Grunting in pain Shepard moved underneath the next knife jab and chopped at the wrist, the knife fell from nerveless fingers and the man could only gasp in shock before Shepard released a series of swift punches to his chest and face before he fell to the ground.
Leaping over the body Shepard sprinted across the bar to the retreating couple, at that time the turian cast a backwards glance to see if anyone was following them, when he saw the sprinting form of the man who just took out his leader fear over took his sense. Roughly pushing Tali to the floor to simply lay there giggling at some unknown joke and flung his weapon in the general direction of Shepard which flew past his shoulder but the shriek and thud of a collapsing body told Shepard that one of the thugs had not been so lucky.
As the Turian sprinted towards the door fear lending him speed Shepard was enraged that the scum would actually make it to the door. That was until the door flung open and the turian smashed into the broader figure of Garrus. The Turian fell to the floor and began to scramble away, into Shepard legs. Looking upwards a cry for mercy forming on his mandible's that were cut short with Shepard's boot connecting with his jaw.
''Garrus good to see you.'' said Shepard casting his eyes over the rips and cuts all over the Turians clothes and face.
''Shepard.'' Garrus interrupted. ''You cannot believe the sh*t I have been through tonight.'' he spat looking over at the bar scene to the bar fight, although without there leader and the new turian joining the fight many seemed to be loosing the will to carry on and only Francis who was still heavily embattled with grunt was keeping them from all bolting.
Grunt-a-saurus-rex had finally met a worthy adversary, as he launched another punch to the face of the larger Krogan, Dr EvilMcBadman merely laughed and spat on the ground, spit which contained mostly blood and a broken tooth.
''Is that all you can do mighty Grunt-a-saurus? I expected a fight.'' he laughed.
Expecting any normal Krogan already taken by the blood rage to widely charge he didn't think that his adversary would roll to the side and deliver a hammer blow punch to his knee. The sharp crack sounded as the joint snapped. Were most people would have given into the pain the krogan merely gave out a below and tried to target his foes waist. Easily jumping out of the way Grunt waited for the broken limb to cause the larger krogan to collapse. And when it came it felt like a mountain had collapsed as deep resounding bang echoed through the place knocking over the few still standing bottles.
Standing triumphantly over the fallen enemy Grunt leaned forwards and whispered.
''Your reign of terror is over Dr EvilMcBadman.''. Before the Krogan could question his nonsense the heavy booted foot of grunt drove out all questions as well as a sizeable portion of his brains.
