Paths to Vengeance
Chapter 28 revelations
Authors notes I don't own Mass Effect Bioware does, if I owned the ME3 ending would have been much better, 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, Canadiancloneluver and Guardian Kitch as they are eight 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.
The Normandy
Rogue sat in his quarters and as he looked over news on gang attacks this gang war he caused and he smiled, however the smile was wiped off his face when Shepard came in looking livid. Rogue merely asked "What is it Shepard?".
The commander answered "Cerberus is after you Rogue, whatever your up to, its pissing them off. They have Kai Leng leading the charge against you. I assume you know who he is?".
Rogue nodded and Shepard continued by saying "We ran into him here on Illium, he wanted us to turn you over to him. I refused but he told me that Zaeed is alive and well, not dead like you told us. Now I need to know that I can trust you on this mission, if I cant then I'll drop you off on Omega and leave you there, so I trust you to watch my back in this mission?".
Rogue answered "I wont betray you Shepard, frankly I see the Collectors as small fry, the real target I'm after is Cerberus. And I wont tell you why I'm after them, my reasons are my own. When the mission's over we go after Cerberus like we agreed Shepard. Now who are we recruiting next for this mission?".
Shepard answered "We're going to the planet Haestrom in Geth space to recruit an old friend of mine, a Quarian engineer named Tali and you'll be on the ground team Rogue I'll need a sniper to help out there".
Rogue nodded and with that Shepard left the room and Rogue continued to look over the reports.
Illium Nos Astra
As the Sederis family met in the main office of their corporation they discussed what to do next in this gang war none of them noticed the case left in the room by a new recruit and the Asari continued to argue the bomb went and the entire leadership of the Eclipse gang on Illium were dead. And all that remained of the case used for the bomb was a single Blood Pack insignia.
Mars Lowell City
Crawford, Danny and Razicu sat in their car as Ziro's car approached them and when it parked next to them Ziro Carleone said "Roma 1 Mafia foot soldiers have no backbone at all. Your friend is being held on Earth, Sergio told me where it was exactly".
As he handed Crawford an OSD and drove off Crawford said "Get the team together, we're going to get Jamitr back" with that they drove off and headed back to the docks to get the first available ship back to Earth.
The Citadel
Ashley Williams walked into the shop with 2 Alliance soldiers following her. She walked right up to the counter as the Volus shopkeeper Barla Von said "Hello Earth-Clan, welcome to my store, is there anything you see that you like?".
Ashley answered "You are an ugly looking little Volus bastard, do you know that?".
Barla replied with some fear in his voice as he realised what was really going on "Look, if there's a problem Earth-clan , you know, I can-".
Ashley interrupted as she walked around the now closed shop "So you might to be asking yourself, ugly as you are Volus, just what going to happen to you in jail, maybe angry, sick dangerous Quarian thieves might end up getting their hands on you. I shudder to think what'll happen to you next".
Barla then said "I've broken no law here Earth-clan".
Ashley only said angrily "Transportation of any guns, especially lethal guns and ammo. Through Citadel Space, especially the Citadel is punishable by five to ten years in prison. Plus, you don't know this yet, but you resisted arrest. Where and who did you supply the cargo to?".
Barla didn't say anything as he backed up and all and Ashley said "Who got the cargo, tell us now?". Barla answered "It was sent to the Normandy owned by commander Shepard the human spectre. You should be able to catch him if you leave now".
Ashley only asked curiously and in a threatening tone of voice "Are you telling me to leave?".
Barla was about to reply when Ashley cracked a smile and said "Relax, you've been great. And I was just bluffing with that stuff about arresting you, I mean, who needs that kind of paperwork?. Lieutenant Graham. Light him on fire".
As Graham sprayed Barla with lighter fluid Ashley lit a match and held it towards Barla who was now backed up fully against the wall utterly terrified.
Ashley then said "Tell anyone we were here, warn Commander Shepard or anyone on the Normandy that we're coming, and you'll wish that we'd burned you alive. Understand?". Barla nods frantically.
Ashley then said to her men "Men. Let's go find us an assassin". She then blew out Skunk's match and she and the Alliance soldiers left the shop.
Authors notes well that's chapter 28 completed please let me know what you think of it read and review no flames though ok.
Now I'm going to put down my thoughts here on the Mass Effect 3 ending as simple as I can. The ending completely sucked, no consequances of your choices were shown and the end decsions you were given were terrible and all had the same result. The Relays are detoroyed, the Normandy crew are standed on an unknown planet and Shepard dies. I say Shepard dies as I dont believe that half breath counts as being alive as it could have been Shepard's last breath for all we know.
Also Mass Effect Lore was ignored as it was shown in the Arrival DLC that destroying a Mass Relay destroys the star system, that didnt happen here, I really hope DLC is made with a better ending but I doubt it. I might write a ME 3 ending fix-it fic likes others are myself but not now though.
