Paths to Vengeance
Chapter 11 past cases and prisons
Authors notes I don't own Mass Effect Bioware does and this fic is a slight crossover with the film War, just so you all know.
Also I recommend that all my readers check out the fics written by Angels Anthem, Appa Appa Away, LongLiveThe Clones, XxheavendragonxX, Aurora Lunar 0Love This0, Icehockeychic4 and Canadiancloneluver as they are seven of the best writers on this site in my opinion. And please if you read this fic let me know what you think of it good or bad comments let me know as I want your opinions on it.
And lastly I recommend that all of readers have a look at the work written by Guardian Kitch as the work that author has written is very, very good.
Well that's enough of an authors note on with chapter 11.
Terminus Organised Crime Unit headquarters
As the clocks on the Citadel hit midnight Danny sat in the office looking over reports from contacts in Aria's group for news on Rogue when Jamitr and Razicu walked over to him.
Danny then said "What do you guys want to know?". Jamitr was silent as Razicu answered "Me and Jamitr were both wondering if you could tell us a bit about the case John and Kalo were working on 3 years ago, we tried looking it up in the C-Sec Archives but we couldn't find a link to it at all?".
Danny didn't say a word for a few minutes before he said "The reason the case isn't there is because it was an undercover op that was off the books, officially anyway. You see the case was built up from years of tracking the arms market in the Citadel and once we found out who the suppliers were, the higher ups arranged for John and Kalo to go in and pose as smugglers to all the major gangs, they went to the Blue Suns, Eclipse, all the way to the Blood Pack leader Ganar Wrang at his compound on Ealuf 5, and you know that he hasn't left that place for over 150 years. And once they got enough evidence we were about to send in C-Sec agents to get them, when John and Kalo were found out. Shortly after that Kalo and his family were killed by Rogue. So is that all you wanted to know?".
Razicu nodded and he and Jamitr got back to work as Danny got a message from Jeremy who said that the Blue Suns had recently bought a large shipment of weapons and were getting ready for war.
Danny sent the info to John and was told to get the team ready as they were going to raid the Blue Suns main base in an hour.
The Normandy
As Rogue sat in the mess hall the next morning he was taking his Brawler pistol and put it back together again. Once he had the pistol fully assembled again Rogue saw that the man known as Archangel sit across from him glaring at him.
The Turian then said "You might be here to help with the mission Rogue but that doesn't mean I have to trust you or like you. I know what you've done, you have killed so many gang members from all the gangs in the Terminus Systems at 1 time or another and you are used as a gun for hire by all of them against each other and C-Sec. You're a member of Cerberus who's now working for Aria T'Loak. Now I don't know why your fighting Cerberus now and I don't care but I'm warning you, if you try to go after Shepard or sabotage this mission in anyway, we'll see how good you are against me in a fight".
With that Garrus walked off and headed back to the gun batteries to do more calibrations on them as the hitman muttered to himself "All talk no action". Rogue then headed back to his quarters as got ready as the Normandy was approaching the Purgatory prison.
The Citadel Zuckera Ward Blue Sun base
The teams were in position as John loaded his shotgun and saw the Blue Sun guards leave their posts for a smoke and John said on the com "Danny the guards are gone from their posts, take them out nice and quiet".
Danny simply replied "Acknowledged" as he aimed his sniper rifle at the guards as they smoked and fired 2 shots killing them in seconds and it wasn't heard over the loud music coming from inside the Blue Sun base.
With the guards outside John and Andrew moved towards the entrance and John opened the com as he said "Jamitr, Radicu we are at the front entrance, are you in position?".
The Turian replied "We are, waiting for the word to enter and open up".
John then said "Do it!" and the two teams entered the base as they opened fire on the merc's and caught them completely off guard and within in a few minutes all the Blue Suns in the base were dead.
With that John had the team look around the base for any info on the Blue Suns planned attacks on other gangs and all they found were orders from Vido Santiago who ordered all the Blue Suns to be on the lookout for assassins as he believed that someone was going to make an attempt on his life in the very near future.
And John had a feeling that he knew just who was going after Vido.
Purgatory prison
As Shepard entered the prison along with Garrus, Zaeed and Rogue, he looked around at the Blue Sun guards he whispered to his team "Keep your guard up, I don't trust these guys, they act like civilized people but they are anything but civilized".
The team nodded and when they met the warden of the prison Krill Rogue knew the man was nothing more than a man who sold the prisoners for profit as he was out to get rich quick.
And as the team were escorted to where the prisoner Jack was the warden bragged of how no one escaped from the prison. He then observed as the Warden told them where to go as he headed off to see if the funds from Cerberus were cleared though Rogue knew the guy was lying.
A few minutes later the assassin was proven right as the warden set them up and explained that Shepard was more valuable as a prisoner and further said "You as well assassin, I know who you are, you are wanted by a lot of people all the gangs want you, Roma 1 wants you even Cerberus wants you back in their hands. So stand down all of you".
Shepard immediately started to open fire on the Blue Sun guards as did the others. The warden called for reinforcements and Shepard told the team to follow him as they were going to get Jack out of here then get revenge on the warden for his betrayal.
When the team got to the area where Jack was being held Garrus warned Shepard that by overriding the system to release Jack would also mean releasing every prisoner in the prison as well. Shepard's response to that was clarified as he said "We don't have a choice it's the only way to get Jack, everyone be ready".
With that Shepard pressed the button and the nearby heavy security YMIR mech's approached the now open cyro stasis unit and a chair raised out from the open hatch with a young bald human woman nearly completely covered in tattoos restrained to the chair.
Zaeed then said "That's Jack, she doesn't look like much does she?". Rogue only said "Appearances are deceiving Zaeed" a few seconds later Jack's eyes opened and with use of her Biotics she broke free and took out all the heavy mech's that were in her way much to the shock of Shepard and the others.
Shepard and the others immediately headed off after Jack as she caused chaos around the prison and they heard Warden Krill on the intercom order all of the prisoners to return to their cells and cease rioting at once, as well as telling the guards to not kill Jack at all no matter what happened.
As the four man team fought their way through the prison they soon came across the warden as he was killing prisoners with very little effort the Turian saw Shepard and said "Do you know how much money I would have made selling you off Shepard I could have lived like a king afterwards, this riot has caused problems but as soon as I catch Jack I'll use the money from I get from threatening to release her out into the public to get me started once again".
Shepard yelled out "You're a slave trader and its ends here and now Krill". the warden shouted "I do what governments are afraid to do Shepard. All of this is for the good of the entire galaxy!".
As the warden and Shepard argued over ethics Rogue took out his sniper rifle and aimed at the warden and once he got a clear shot he opened fire twice the first shot brought down the shields the Warden had on him and the second shot went through his head.
The four of them then came across Jack as she killed 2 Blue Suns guards. She asked them what they wanted and as she was angry when she saw the Normandy had a Cerberus symbol on it and Rogue didn't blame her at all. As Jack and Shepard made a deal that she would come with them and help on the mission she demanded access to the Cerberus databases to see what information that Cerberus had on her.
Once the deal was done the 5 of them went back aboard the Normandy and left the system as the Purgatory Prison was destroyed in a firery explosion.
