Chapter 18

Priority: Attacks

Their shuttle flew into a massive city. The city named" Ghost"(Multiplayer Map/Ghost).People ran trying to evacuate as Reapers ran through abducting and killing.

Kyra grabbed ahold of a new weapon named"N7 Valiant". Her team mates grabbed their regular weapons again. Looking towards the screen on board the

shuttle that informed them. The screen showed many citizens in trouble. She felt the heavy heart of their loss. Her team mates stood by the door ready.

"Team your mission is to save as many and evacuate them before they're killed" said Hackett

"Yes sir" said Kyra

The doors opened allowing them to leave. Massive fires had broken out little burning through the bodies of fallen people. Others ran through flames trying to save

trapped souls. Kyra looked to her left then to her right. Her team mates split up in 2's covering more ground. Kyra rushed straight through the narrow pathway.

Between 2 buildings husks attacked a mother and daughter. Kyra aimed and fired her N7 Valiant head on. The 2 husks fell hard into the cold ground, the

mother held on tight to her crying child both running past Kyra and headed onto another shuttle.

Kyra paused for a mere second remembering the sounds of gunfire. The large sounds of screaming through her mind. Slowly moving forward she noticed the

mother and daughter running past her. They both headed for the Alliance shuttle. Looking at them slowly she was reminded of when she lost her parents

before. Kyra was reminded of her mother. Dominic's voice echoed through her radio. She slowly gained consciousness and looked downward with her eyes

closed. Part of her red haired dangled between her eyes.

"Kyra!? You there?" asked Dominic

"Yeah I'm here, what's your position?" she asked

Dominic took down another Reaper Cannibal. Dominic looked straight then to his right seeing through massive amounts of smoke. He could see others heading

out into shuttles. Radio chatter continued through as his teammates aided across the area. Reapers continued to rush throughout as they took and killed

civilians. Dominic dashed forward as his jets thrusted him into a cannibal and away from a running child.

Danita rolled out of the way of an incoming brute. Rolling onto one knee, she aimed within the right moment and fired her mighty Black Widow. The Brutes

turian head exploded into pieces. Its body fell 2 feet in front of her. A human family looked at her shocked to see what she did. She looked at them and nodded

as they did. They ran together the family of 5 towards an arriving shuttle. Danita covered them as they ran through the ruined reaper bodies. As they avoided

the incoming gunfire from other Cannibals.

Dakar ran up the ladders onto of the burning buildings and jumped into them. His body could sustain the scorching heat. Falling through cracks and broken

chunks of walls. He searched for trapped eyes glowed through the flames, locating unconscious individuals he used his biotics to seal them. Moving them

through the flames his suit was able to resist half the heat, his body surged with biotics. Moving through the flames he walked out of the burning building alive

with 3 unconscious survivors. Lowering them to the ground Alliance marines rushed over and collected them. Dakar stood looking at the family as they went on

gaining oxygen again. A small child with a small white afro hair, and moonlight iris blue eyes stared at him. Dakar looked back into him noticing something as if a

connection was made. The strangest thing about the child was his reaction towards him. No fear, no shock, just another person.

Danita noticed Dakar as a husk jumped from behind him burning as it screamed wildly. Dakar was in deep thought as its headed exploded behind him. Small

bits of flames fell onto his head and shoulders. Still he didn't react his left hand twitched. His fingers barely moved at all. This feeling and sense of something

unraveling came from that child as he got into the shuttle and evacuated. Dakar couldn't hear Danita speaking at all until she rushed towards him.

"Dakar?! Are you alright"she asked

For a second he said nothing

"I'm fine, you have my thanks" he said

"Are you sure? I-I was"

"I know,Danita"he said as he walked passed her

Danita looked back at him wondering what he was thinking about

Kyra jumped over shattered opening of an old window. She fired away into a reaper Marauder that killed a father. His family screamed as she ran towards

them and helped them towards a nearby shuttle. A small child ran out of her ruined home just 4 streets down away from an Alliance shuttle. Crying aloud she

fell to the ground, shocked seeing death had arrived. Looking back she stopped moving scared as a rushing Banshee teleported forward towards him

screaming.

Closing her eyes she imaged of her mother and father. She opened them again seeing the back of a black rusted armor of a Krogan. Raidenka held of the

banshee and head-butted her as she screamed in his face. Raidenka grabbed her neck and slammed her down into the ground and curb stomped her face

laughing continued she stared at him. The burning shuttle burned behind them. Raidenka slowly looked towards her. He noticed her as he was reminded of

how he was nearly killed by his own parents as a child.

Raidenka helped her stand. He knew what she felt deep within her. Another shuttle shot down a couple more reapers from a distance. Raidenka looked to his

right noticing more coming through the streets. Standing in front of her he said aloud.

"Stay behind me kid, this is not your fight" he said

Grabbing ahold of his mighty hammer he yelled with all his might and threw it forward towards them. Danita fell onto her back and moved right avoiding the

Marauders stomp. His head exploded splattering its remains over her as Dakar helped her up. Dominic flew out of an exploding building carrying a father in his

arms. Kyra covered him by the right.

"Team how we doing?" asked Kyra

"East and West sides of this block have been evacutated"said Dakar

"Alright, Raidenka? "asked Kyra

"I'm good, just finished killing these worms" he said

"Ground team, get to your evac now" said Admiral Hackett
