Writer's Notes- Alright, we're gonna focus on the Man of Twilight then get right back to the Steel Beast, simple as that…...Ok Maybe not that simple, considering the amount of pressure i'm under. Because she's right behind me!

Sally- *glares* finish it you goddamn idiot!

Ross- You see the abuse I go through everyday? That ain't right. But enough of my bitching, you guys came here to see the next chapter of M.O.T. Let's get to it shall we?

Ross's POV. Batarian Hideout.

"Aaaannnnnnnnd Bang" I said as the gun went off and lodged a bullet in the batarians' skull, instantly killing him, but that's obvious. I tossed the gun to the side, being an inferior gun model that I wouldn't be caught dead in, and approached the ladies chained to the wall.

"Enjoying yourself ?" asked Tesal, the Asari prisoner.

"Tesal, i've told you a thousand times, call me Ross. was, unfortunately, my father, and Mr sounds weird." I complained as I unlocked her chains and moved onto the other three. "Smart move, getting yourself captured lead us straight to him. I honestly thought this guy would be a lot smarter, considering he's basically one of the biggest slave traders in the Terminus."

"Yeah well you know batarians: they think with their guns rather than their heads. After all fear is one effective techniques for controlling someone." she said.

"Yeah, such a shame, they'd make excellent C-Sec officers, provided they hadn't shut down their embassy and declared rebellion against the Council." After about a few minutes, I unlocked Tesal's chains. I'm telling you, 2 years of training with the Asari has made me an expert at using guns and hand to hand combat and a master at biotics, but it still isn't enough to help me pick a damn lock for a couple of chains.

"Need some help there buddy?" Tesal teased.

"No Tesal, I got this. It just takes a little…*sigh* ok so maybe I do need 'some' help." I said in embarrassment. Tesal giggled a little bit, and I handed the key to her.

"Let me show you how it's done pretty boy." It took her about 10 seconds to get the damn lock open. "THat's how you pick a lock Rossy."

"yeah yeah yeah Tesal, just hurry up and unlock the others unlock the other three so we can all get the hell out of here. This place is starting to stink more and more every second we're here." I replied

"Oh don't be like that, so you can't open a simple lock. Guess that means you won't be opening my lock tonight."

"Oh damn that is a nice burn" said one of the other humans. "Hey buddy, you need some burn cream for that?" Ugh, I forgot what being around other humans are like. Speaking of these humans, they look familiar, but how's that possible?

"Shut up Sally, this is no time to be acting like a dumbass."

"Oh come on Alex you gotta admit that was a nice burn. I mean-"

"Sally shut UP!" she yelled.

"Hey! Calm the fuck down, you're not in chains 's just get you nice ladies out of here. Take these" I said tossing a couple pistols to the three women. "They're not the best type of weapons, but they should be enough to protect yourselves until you can find shelter. C'mon Tesal let's get out of here." But before we began to walk away, I heard a gun cock.

"Don't. Move" said…...I think it was Alex, i'm not sure, aiming her gun at me."

"Umm pardon me?"

"You heard me Ross. Under the order of the Alliance navy, you're under arrest."

"Under arrest? What the hell did I do?" I asked.

"Do you recall the incident on Elysium 2 years ago?" Wait, now I remember.

Flashback.

"Oh, i'm ALex by the way. Alex Paxton." She was that medic who patched me up back on Elysium, then she pulled a gun on me when she saw my bullet wounds were gone.

ENd of Flashback

And that explains the other girl too, That must be her twin sister Sally.

"Oh yeah, I remember you Alex. And this must be your sister I assume?" I asked

"That's right, and if you figure it out before, the name's Sally" Oh great, she's a royal bitch, I wonder what the third girl is like. "Monica, contact Shepard and tell her that we have the guy. She'll be real ecstatic to see you again Ross." I heard a beep, and saw that the third girl was using her comms.

"Wait a minute, Shepard's here?" I asked could tell that I was freaking out. "Like she's actually in or near this building, and she's ready to kick some ass?"

"That's right, and she isn't too happy about you smacking her upside the head two years ago" she said. What is she talking about? I never attacked Shepard, I don't even remember being in Alliance custody. Guess that's something that so called Omniverser forgot to mention to me before. Fuck.

Tesal, we need to get out of here. I said to Tesal through thought. IF what i've heard about Shepard is true, then we're in serious trouble.

"Look you two, I don't know what you're talking about, but i've known this guy for almost 3 years, so i'd know if this idiot did something like that." she said. Why Ross? What's so bad about this Shepard character?

"Well this was before you knew him squid head, so you probably don't know as much as you think." She's fought off an entire squadron of batarian soldiers, and won! I've seen this first handed, we need to go.

"Squid head? Oh you are treading on dangerous territory bitch." Tesal said approaching the three Alliance soldiers.

" Uh uh, don't even try it bitch." said Sally raising her gun. OK where the hell did they get those things. "You wouldn't want to create an Interspecies incident now would you. If you attack us, it'll make you Asari freaks look bad, and it'll give us some leverage against the Council." You gotta be kidding me! She's willing to use such an underhanded technique like that. OH my god I wanna kill this bitch so badly. "So if you want to avoid any further problems, you'll want to hand over your human bitch." Wait a minute, they don't know? *gasp*, that's right, they DON'T know that i'm half Asari. The only thing they know is that I have biotics and unusual abilities, so I guess I can do this.

"She might not be able to hurt you" I said clutching my fist, "But you never said anything about me!" I threw a Shockwave towards the trio and sent them flying against the wall. "Tesal run!" I grabbed Tesal by her wrist and pulled her in the opposite direction, towards the exit. One of the soldiers managed to somehow recover quickly from the blast, and started shooting at us.

Sally's POV

"Damn, I missed. C'mon Alex get up!" I yelled grabbing Alex off of the ground.

"*giggles* Hey Sally, why do you look so fuzzy. YOu're like a fuzzy stuffed animal that I just wanna cuddle with on a cold winter night." Oh fuck me sideways, she's all loopy!.

"Goddamnit Alex, wake the fuck up!" I yelled and started to smack her upside the head. Hopefully this is enough to wake her up. Then Monica woke up.

"Ugh, damn. My head is killing me." she said, "Wait, where'd they go?".

"I'm about to find out. Monica, stay here with Alex, i'll go after the target." I said, turning on the comms. "Shepard come in, the target's escaping. I'm pursuing on foot but I need you to cut him, and be careful. This guy is stronger than he was before."

"Copy that Sally. How are the others doing?" She asked. Hmmmmmmm

"*giggles* Hey Monica. You know I never realized this, but you're actually kinda cute."

"Alex, Alex no- don't try anything, you're not thinking straight. You're head's all loopy."

"Oh don't worry honey, I know what i'm doing."

"Umm, they're alright. I mean they're a little banged up, but they're alright. I'm gonna go after those now. HAve fun with my sister Monica." I said in a joking manner, and ran off after Ross and that asari.

"Wait what? Don't leave me with her!" Can't hear, la la la la la la la la la la la"

Ross's POV

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, why here? Why now? Why the fuck is this happening to me?" I screamed, punching the wall over and over again.

"Ross you need to calm down," said Tesal.

"I can't- I can't, Shepard is going to kill me. She is going to kill me. I can't take this." May think i'm overreacting, but think about this for a second: What would you do if you did something to piss off Commander Shepard and she was coming after you? You'd probably shit yourself and run like hell. Suddenly I heard someone humming.

"Shh, Ross quiet. They're near" whispered Tesal. Suddenly the humming turned into singing, the same type of singing you'd hear in a horror movie.

"Ring around the rosie…" Well there's a part of my childhood i'm never getting back. "...a pocketful of posies…...ashes, ashes…...we all fall down." When she stopped, everything was silent. "C'mon now little bitch, i'm not done with you yet. Just come out nice and easy, and I might let let you keep your balls!"

"Wow she's violent." whispered Tesal. Alex did say that her sister had a bit of a violent streak, but man that's just taking it to a whole new level.

"C'mon. If we move quietly enough, we can make it to the front entrance, call for extraction, and get the hell out of here." Tesal nodded in agreement. We started as quietly as we could, we didn't even try to breathe. Slowly but steadily, we made our way through the decrepit building towards the exit. We made a few creaks, but I don't think that she noticed.

"Quiet Ross. If she's telling the truth, then she's gonna cut your balls off if she catches you." Trust me I know that's the last thing I want to happen. Finally, we managed to reach the exit, and once we were outside, I could finally breathe.

"Oh thank you merciful goddess." I said in relief. " Looks like I get to keep my boys after all."

" 'Thank you merciful goddess'? Since when did you start using the goddess when you speak?" asked Tesal.

"I don't always say it Tesal. Only when I'm extremely relieved, or in a state of shock, am I going to say that." I replied.

"Hmph, well you should say it more often, suits someone like you."

"If I did that, then it wouldn't be special to you now would it?" I joked. "*Chuckles* SHould've known those girls were lying about Shepard. I mean I saw her with them back on Elysium, but I should've known that it was just a coincidence."

"See that's what the Matriarchs were talking about before we got here. You worry too much. Maybe if you actually try to relax every once and awhile, you might actually have a little bit of fun with me, instead of working for the Matriarchs so much" She said in a seductive voice.

"I know Tesal I know, but it's it's part of my condition to the Asari Matriarchy: I work for them, they protect me from anyone looking for me. Plus if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have met." I said throwing my arms around her waist.

"THis isn't the appropriate place for this. Think we could go somewhere private?"

"Once we get back to Thessia, we'll have our fun. For now, let's just give our report Asari command and tell them that Kronis is dead."

"Not a problem. C'mon let's get outta here before they catch us."

"Too late for that." Oh no, that voice. "Turn around and put your hands in the air, now!" She ordered. I didn't need to turn around to know who was threatening us. I could never forget Commander Shepard's voice, or that look she has in her eye. "Remember me?"

"Unfortunately, yes. Run!" I said to Tesal, and started to run in the opposite direction, but guess who was blocking our way.

"Surprise bitch. You hurt my sister asshole, so now i'm gonna hurt you." said Sally pointing her shotgun at us. We couldn't go the normal ways, and we couldn't go back into that building, and i'm certainly not jumping off the ledge. So flight's not an option, so that just leaves one thing.

"Well, this is a fine mess we've gotten ourselves into. What do you say Tesal, Combo?"

I asked with enthusiasm. She looked back at me with a grin on her face.

"Yeah. Combo" Our biotics flared up, making Shepard and Sally a little uneasy.

"Be gentle Tesal, we don't need to kill them, just wing. Enough to knock them out and get them off our backs."

"I'm good with that. Just as long as I get to beat this bitch senseless. No one threatens my man's junk and gets away with it."

C'mon bitch, I dare you to try and hit me!" barked Sally.

"If she insists. 3". The air begins to thin around us.

"Don't do it kid." I wouldn't have to if you weren't holding me at gunpoint Shepard.

"2" i said, my eyes changing to their black and gold color.

"I'm warning you two, don't do it." Then drop the gun and let us walk away.

"1" we both said in unison.

"Okay then, don't say we didn't warn you." said Sally with glee.

"Sally don't-" Too late. She already fired, and we had already charged towards our respected targets. I charged towards Shepard and struck her in the gut. Tesal charged towards Sally, and punched her upside the head. My punch managed to knock the wind out of Shepard, but it wasn't enough to put her down.

"*huffs* is that *huffs* the best you've got? I thought you got stronger?" she taunted

"Did, just can't have you dying Shepard. So i'm just gonna knock you out." I threw a punch into her face but that only seemed to maker her angried. She swept my leg and knocked me onto my back. Shepard grabbed me by my leg, picked me up and threw me against the wall. I tried to recover as quickly as I could but she had kicked me in the gut, the repeated the process on my head. She came at me again, but I pushed her away using my biotics. I quickly got back onto my feet and used Pull to pull her towards me and I hit her in the head with a roundhouse kick. "How you doing over there Tesal?"

"I'm keeping it together, but this girl is tough. Especially for a human." She wasn't kidding. That girl Sally looked beaten and bloody already, yet she still looks as if it hasn't done a single thing to her. In fact it looked like she was enjoying the fight. But I was ripped away as Shepard came at me with a knife. I drew my blade and charged towards her. I swung my blade as hard and fast as I could, but Shepard managed to elude every single swipe. She even managed to block one of my attacks with her knife.

"You're pretty good. You probably would've made a great marine." she said.

"I'm sorry, did I do something to disappoint you?" I asked.

"Yeah, you stopped." Suddenly she comes at me swinging her knife even faster than before. I even had a problem blocking them with my blade, that's how fast she was swinging. She even managed to knock it out of my hand. "You're done."

"Hardly!" Right before she could hit me with her knife, I hit Shepard with a Reave, stopping her dead in her tracks and bringing her to her knees screaming. "Sorry about that Shepard, can't you let you take me. I hope you won't hold this against me." Oh what the fuck am I saying, of course she's going to hold this against me.

"Ross!" Oh no, Tesal! I turned around and saw that Sally was dominating her. She repeatedly striking her face, and laughing like a goddamn madman.

"Oh fuck no bitch!" I screamed as I charged into Sally and knocked her off. Now i'm pissed.

"Hehehehehe, you want some too pretty boy!" she said with disturbing glee. Like I said before, her face was covered with blood, and she had this insidious grin on her face. "I'm not like my sister Ross. I'm not afraid to kill someone. In fact, I enjoy every second of it!." She came at me screaming, trying to grabed but I pushed her away.

"You're gonna pay for what you did to my girlfriend bitch!" I raged.

"*licks* You should be more concerned of what's going on behind you?"

"Behind me?" I turned around, then something hit me in the head, and everything went black…..again!"

2 Hours Later.

When I came to, I found myself lying on a cold metal surface, with my hands cuffed. I tried using my biotics to break free, but when I tried the cuff would shock me. I fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

"Shocking isn't it ?" I looked up and on the other side of the entrance to my cell was Shepard. "You don't know how long we've been looking for you."

"Where's Tesal?" I demanded

"She's alive. She's also back on Omega looking for you. But she's not going to find you. You're coming with us back to Earth so the Alliance can decide what to do with you." she said.

"What the hell did I do to you Shepard? Why does me having biotics make me a viable target?"

"Well there's that, but there's also the fact that you don't show up in any database on Earth. Care to explain that, or do you not remember that either?"

"I didn't remember then, but I remember now Shepard. But you know what, after what just happened, I don't feel like talking. So unless you're gonna you're gonna get these cuffs off my face, then get the fuck out of my face before I lose my cool." She didn't bother to say anything, she just simply got up and walked away. Well, she did say one thing.

"Oh, you might want to get comfortable for a while . We'll be making a small detour on our way back to Earth." Detour?

"What detour? Where the hell are you going now? You got someone else you wanna falsely imprison?" I asked

"No. We're going a recently colonized planet that's having a bit of issues. We'll just be there briefly then we'll be on our way back to Earth."

"What colony?"

"A small colony called Akuze." …..Oh fuck me sideways not Akuze.
