Writer's Notes- Thanks to the help of my new Co-Writer Jen, i'm now able to work on this chapter of the rewrite in record time.
Alex-Another one? For Godsakes Ross, how many imaginary girlfriends do you have to make? What are you up to, three?
Ross- *punches Alex in the arm* No you moron, she's real, as real as I am.
Alex-But...what about me?
Ross-You exist *taps screen* in here. Unless you can walk out of the internet with the Normandy crew by your side, especially Tali, then don't complain.
Alex- *cries in the corner*
Ross-Hmm, guess I shouldn't have said that should I? Oh well, anyway here's the next chapter, enjoy. JEN! Go comfort Alex.
NO POV
"STAY RIGHT THERE HUMN, OR I'll BLOW HER HEAD UP" said the batarian leader holding a gun to Alex's head, who had begun to to panic, "SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP!" His panic stems from the previously injured young man, who seems to have developed unusual Biotic abilities.
"*sigh* Look i'm just wanna say" said Ross before the batarian took a quick shot at him, which he managed to stop it in mid-air, "Just here me out. Frankly I just wasted the rest of your squad with very little effort, which might be because of the fact that I don't know how to use my new biotics, so that may suggest that I may be somewhat unstable."
"Yo-"
"Just here me about" the batarian leader was starting to get annoyed, which began to make Ross a little nervous. "Now i'm pretty sure that you want to live, and that's fine by me, but the thing is I can't let you leave with her, that would go against my moral code. So if you just let my friend here go, I'll let you go peacefully, if not, I'm gonna turn you into chum" He said with a burst of biotic energy.
"Surrender? To a Human no less?" he said, aiming his gun at Ross, "I'd rather die than surrender to the likes of you" Before the batarian could even pull the trigger, he found himself face-to face with Ross, the latter using a Lash to pull his opponent towards him.
"That's such a shame. Oh well, if you say" Ross grabbed the gun from the batarians hand and tossed it to the side, then began to lift him up into the air, then tossed him into the wall like a rag doll. Ross dropped his hand, and with it the batarian, who now just seemed even angrier than before.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT HUMAN!" Suddenly, the batarians suit began to change. Blades began to form on his shoulders and all over his armor, his arm was engulfed in an orange glow.
"Oh shit, Ross watch out he's using blade armor!" said Alex, who still had the misfortune of gaining the batarians attention.
"Little shit, looks like I'm going to have to cut out your tongue." he said approaching her. In response, Ross charge towards them both and tackled the batarian to the ground,impaling himself on one of the batarian's armor blades
"ALEX, RUN!" ordered Ross. Alex didn't stop to think. She immediately ran in the opposite direction.
"*groans* GET OFF OF ME!" Yelled the batarian, throwing Ross off of his back. Ross got up from the ground, clutching his shoulders, but his injury didn't seem to bother him.
"*laughs* Surprisingly, this doesn't hurt at all….." he said rubbing the wound. Ross began to charge up his biotic energy, and with a loud roar and a quick jump forward, Ross charged into the batarian and landed a quick punch to his face, sending him flying into the wall, "...but I bet that did." Ross began unleashing a barrage of biotic punches into the batarian's face. The batarian grabbed his left fist and slammed his elbow into Ross's arm, and with a quick snap, broke his arm. "Grrr, you little shit" growled Ross, "Now I have to fight with one arm till I can heal it". Ross flared up his biotics again and charged the batarian again, and even with one arm Ross was still a formidable fighter. Unfortunately, The batarian had both his arms, which gave him a slight advantage. While Ross managed to hit the batarian with a few quick flurries of one shot punches, he was unable to keep up with the batarians nasty omni-glove punches.
"TAKE THIS HUMAN!" he roared. Each time he blocked one of those punches, it sent him skidding across the floor.
"That...all you… got?" asked Ross in a voice mixed with pain and fatigue.
"*chuckles* Keep talking human, because at this point with an arm like that, it seems to be the only thing you're good for" said the batarian. Ross didn't like it, but he knew that the batarian was right. In his current state, it would only minutes before the batarian would kill him. He knew that he couldn't keep fighting with one hand, especially if his opponent has an omni-glove. So he resorted to something rather drastic. Ross's biotics began to focus more so on his broken arm, so much so that in a matter of seconds, his arm was concealed in a black aura. Suddenly, his arm began to jerk and twist around. There was a small crunching sound as his arm moved around, up to the point his bones were pinned back into place.
(Quick Note- No, Ross's arm didn't heal, whatever is controlling his biotics(which will be a secret for the time being) is just keeping him together.)
"You were saying?" he asked. Ross charged toward the batarian ready to land a biotic punch into his face, but the batarian was ready with his omni-glove. The two collided, each matching the others' strength. Ross threw another punch into his face to break the stalemate. He attempted to kick the batarian in the face, but he grabbed Ross by the leg, pulled him off balance and sent him falling to the ground. The batarian dropped onto his arm, attempting to induce more pain, but it had the opposite effect as Ross wasn't bothered by it.
"Well what do you know, I can't feel a thing." said Ross. He pushed the batarian off with a quick burst of biotic energy and kicked him in the stomach. He fell to his knees, groaning in pain, as Ross was about to return the favor of breaking the batarian's arm, until.
"Freeze" Called out a females' voice. Ross turned around to see Shepard, her squad of soldiers, and Alex approaching them from the opposite end of the hallway. Ross was overjoyed to see Shepard bringing reinforcements, but that wasn't what she was thinking. She stopped about ten feet away from Ross was standing and aimed her gun at Ross, with an angry look in her eyes. "Get down on the ground, now!" she yelled. Ross wanted to say something, but he was too afraid of what Shepard might do if he did say something. So naturally, Ross complied with Shepards' order. Then the batarian started to get up.
"Hey four eyes, that order was meant for you too. Now get down on the ground." she ordered but he didn't listen. As he passed Ross, the latter noticed that the batarian was reaching for something holstered on his back.
"*chuckles* Sorry, but I have no intention to surrender to a human" Quick like a bunny, the batarian pulled out a rocket launcher and aimed it straight towards Shepard, "NOW DIE!"
"NOOOOOOO" yelled an enraged Ross as biotics began to flare up again. He charged and tackled the batarian to the ground, crushing his hand. He dropped his rocket launcher to the ground, allowing Ross to kick it towards Shepard.
"See this is what I was talking about earlier. This was the type of situation I was hoping that you would try to avoid, but sadly you didn't. And I was gonna let you win, but sadly that offer has expired." said Ross as he grabbed the batarian by the neck,lifting him off of his feet.
"Drop the batarian, NOW!" yelled SHepard.
"...No" he said clutching the batarians' head, "This guy doesn't deserve to live." Ross's biotics began to flare up again, but this time his eyes turned completely pitch black. Shepard tried to approach him, but Ross pushed her away. Ross cracked his neck, took a deep breath and said: "EMBRACE THE GALAXY'S DARKNESS!" Ross's Biotic aura began to surround the batarian, creating a mist of shadows around him. The batarian began to convulse and shake around and bleed out of his nose and his eyes. Ross let go of his neck and dropped him to the ground. He squirmed on the ground for a few minutes, then he just stopped. Ross turned around to face SHepard, who still had her gun trained on him. "I'm sorry, I just couldn't let hi-" Ross's biotics disappeared, his eyes reverted back to their normal state. Then… he just collapsed.
Somewhere Else
An image of SHepard rushing over to an unconscious Ross lit up the floor as three figure sat around it, forming a triangle.
"That is an impressive first run. Honestly, I didn't think the kid would be able to survive."
"Well that's comforting to know that you thought our one method of salvation was about to die."
"Would you two shut up, I don't need to hear you two prattle on about your stupid opinions. We should just be glad that this young man is capable of using his biotics." The image had shifted to Shepard binding Ross's arms and carrying him away.
"Wait, why does it look like she's arresting him? Why does it look like she's arresting him?!"
"Oh no, this isn't good, this is definitely NOT good. What are we going to do? If she throws him in prison, there goes our last line of defense! What the fuck are we going to do?"
"*sigh* Oh great. Alright I'll handle this." A figure began to form, a man, but the shadows were so thick it was impossible to tell what he looked like.
"Wait, where are you going?" Then his eyes began to show, resembling two stars shimmering in the night sky.
"CHange of plans. We're gonna have to send him somewhere else for the time being"
"Where exactly do you intend to send him?"
"Where half his new blood comes from: The Asari."
