Paths to Vengeance
Chapter 29 plans, surprises and Geth part 1
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.
Terminus Organised crime unit office Earth
As Crawford, Danny and Razicu got everything they needed for this rescue mission to get Jamitr back, Danny asked "What do we do about Radcliff after this?". Crawford didn't answer Danny's question as he honestly didn't have an answer for him.
However just as John and the others were about to head on out several vehicles arrived outside the building and foot soldiers of the Carleone family stepped out and kept their weapons holstered. As John and other members of the taskforce appeared to confront them, the leader of the Carleone family Ziro Carleone stepped out of his car.
Crawford walked up to him and asked "What's all this about here Ziro?".
The man only said "We attacked the base where your team member was being held and here he is, alive and well". at that moment Jamitr stepped out and even through he had some bruising on his face he looked alright.
Zivo then said with a smile on his face "I hope this will persuade you not to come after me once you all have dealt with Radcliff and the other groups that you and your taskforce are after?".
John's only answer to the question was "We'll see" as he and others brought Jamitr inside headquarter and Ziro and his men got back in their vehicles and headed off.
The Normandy the next day
As the Normandy arrived in the star system and was in orbit of the planet Haestrom, Shepard and Garrus were waiting in the cargo bay for Kasumi and Rogue to arrive.
And as Rogue and Kasumi were about to step into the elevator the Asari Justicar Samara stepped out of her quarters and looked at Rogue with a glare. Rogue then said "What is it?".
Samara walked towards them and said "I wish to speak with you assassin, alone if you don't mind".
Kasumi took the hint and got in the elevator and as Samara and Rogue went into her quarters the doors were sealed as Samara said "What we are to talk about I don't want any others to know of it. Not even Shepard".
Rogue nodded and said "What is it Samara?". The Asari Justicar answered "In the past 3 decades you have killed many people, some of them innocent all for the Alliance and later on for Cerberus, When the mission is over the Justicar Code will mean I'll have to kill you".
Rogue was silent for a few minutes before he said "The very minute that this mission is over, Shepard will help me take down Cerberus, after that is done I'll get some surgery done on me and then I'll be impossible to find. Sadly for you Samara you'll fail in your efforts to take me down, just like so many others in the past have before you. But if you do find it'll be interesting to see what'll happen, I've never heard of a human killing a Justicar before".
With that Rogue got in the elevator and went to deck 5 where the rest of the ground team was waiting for him. Where he got aboard the shuttle they headed down to Haestrom as fast as possible.
The Citadel Henry Radcliff's mansion
Henry Radcliff watched as his daughter stuck another knife into the leg of Ziro Carleone and he smiled as the leader of the Carleone family screamed out in agony.
Radcliff then held his hand and said "Stop Tashya". Tashya stepped back as Radcliff walked over to the man who ordered the deaths of his wife and son. Radcliff then said "Our families have been bitter rivals for years now Ziro. Ever since your grandfather had my great grandfather killed and all because he said that your grandfather needed to grow up. 100 years of bloodshed that spread across the Sol System and beyond. All because of 1 simple remark. Its simply amazing what words can cause isn't it Ziro?".
Ziro tried to speak but all that came out his mouth was blood and Radcliff smiled as Ziro still hadn't come to realize that his tongue was just removed from his mouth by Tashya . Radcliff then said "The war ends tonight with the Radcliff family eliminating their last big rival in human space. I'll see you in the next life Ziro. Please say hello to your wife for me".
With that Radcliff shot Ziro in the head point blank range with a pistol and simply walked out of the interrogation room with his daughter as his men cleaned up the mess they had left behind.
Haestrom
As the shuttle landed on the planet, the ground team stepped out and as they started to move forward Rogue got a message on his Omni-Tool from Barla Von, his contact on the Citadel. All the message said was that 3 Systems Alliance soldiers came into his shop very recently and they wanted to know where did the weapons Rogue buy go, he mentioned that he heard the soldiers talk about Shepard.
Rogue sighed when he finished reading the message and he now knew that his mission just got a whole lot harder.
The Citadel Flux bar
As Crawford and Danny left the bar 3 Systems Alliance soldiers came up to them and their leader said "Spectre John Crawford?".
When Crawford nodded in confirmation the woman continued by saying "My name is Ashley Williams and I'm on a mission that involves the former Alliance operative known as codename Rogue. In order to ensure that my mission is a success I'm going to need you to give me all the information that you have on the assassin right now".
Crawford immediately said "I'm not giving you anything at all. I don't care who or what you are, if anyone kills that assassin its going to be me".
With that the two soldiers who were alongside Ashley took their guns and just as Ashley demanded the information on Rogue again Crawford said "Look at your shirt Williams".
As Ashley did she noticed the targeting laser aimed at her heart from Danny's gun. She then ordered her men to stand down and headed off while Crawford and Danny went back to headquarters.
