Yeah, Virmire. I have been waiting for this since Noveria. In fact, in writing this chapter I had that spark that came with writing the original Users chapters. Honestly, this has it all. Bad ass fight, awesome comedy, even a heart wrenching moment (JK, I suck at that.) I was just so excited to write this chapter that I spent all week thinking about how to write it. I finally came up with an idea. Hope you enjoy it.

ROAD HOUSE!

Ty:

This was a bad idea twenty minutes ago when Shepard suggested it. Now, I am standing at the edge of the Normandy ramp platform ten miles in the air. I looked down at my feet; luckily Drew had a magnetic setting that he turned on in my boots. I took a deep breath and got ready to jump.

I quickly released it and looked back at the crew behind me. Shepard was standing with Wrex and Garrus giving me thumbs up, "You ready to do this?"

I gave Shepard the middle finger, "Why do I have to do this?"

Shepard just patted Wrex on the back, "Looks like it's up to you."

Wrex began walking toward the ramp until he was right beside me. He looked over the edge and gave a nod. Then, Wrex turned to me and smiled, "You ready to go?"

I looked at Wrex with surprise, "You're coming with me?"

Wrex just smiled, "Not exactly."

Wrex then grabbed me by the shoulder and picked me up, "Have fun."

Wrex gave a single thrust and I went flying out the bay. I felt myself fly for a few moments and then dread hit as gravity took hold and I fell. I fell quick and in a fluttering motion unable to control where I was going. I spun in the air and my appendages flailed everywhere.

It was in the mist of this that a Drew spoke in my head, "Calm down."

I felt myself stop panicking and I spread my arms out so I fell front first toward the ground. Now that I was calm, I could assess the situation. I was still fairly high up and it seemed like I was falling in slow motion. Directly after that was when I hit the next atmosphere and felt fell at an alarming rate.

Drew began to speak rapidly but at a subtle tone, "We can survive this if you break the surface of the water before we hit it."

I looked down and saw we were headed for deep water. That was the good news; the bad news was that as in Shepard's plan I was going to have to land in near the second anti-air gun. That was the problem that we would have to deal with that when the time came. Right now, we needed to deal with surviving the fall.

I pulled out my assault rifle, just a simple avenger VI but it could get the job done. I aimed it at the ground and waited for the right moment. I wished I had some way to know when to fire.

Like he had before, Drew spoke, "Fire in 3… 2… 1… sink."

I yelled out after I hear it, "Sink!" I began unloading my rifle at the water and sat the bullets break the surface repeatedly and it became a miniature storm. I reached sea level and landed in the water gun first.

I thought the water would stop my fall right away but I just flew through the water slowing down ever so slightly. I finally hit the bottom and not a minute too soon. I was about to pop from holding my breath. I didn't know if Drew could recycle air but I would prefer to ask him first. Funny thing is that it slipped my mind.

I began swimming as fast as I could up. My lungs continued to burn but I wasn't about to give up and just die. I began doing a breast stroke instead of just flutter kicking. I lost breath and burst through the surface taking a much needed gulp of air.

I lay back in the water for a moment, "God, if I ever get out of here, I will take the lung capacity exercises seriously at swim practice."

Drew spoke up after me, "I will document that sir."

I laughed, "Drew, you and I are the same person. Any chance of formality is out the door. Just call me Ty."

Drew spoke back in his monotone voice, "Ty, you could have taken a breath while you were under water. We recycle air quite easily."

I rolled my eyes, "Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"We assumed that you would know about our adaptability after playing through the game we were coded into", there was a confusion to his voice, something I had never heard from him before.

"So, what did we learn?"

"Humans cannot think clearly in life threatening instances and therefore should not be trusted to undertake survival tasks."

I wanted to facepalm at that moment. I instead sat up and looked out to the land and saw the Geth from the gun coming out to see what had landed in the water. As far as I could count, there were two rockets, three troopers, one prime and two destroyers.

"Ty, I cannot see a way to survive a direct attack on the enemy forces. "

I looked at them all, "Sure we can."

"Could you explain your plan?"

I began making my way towards the shore slowly, "I attack them."

"Is there more to this plan, Ty?"

I rolled my eyes at his comment, "In the immortal words of Kevin Flynn, I'm a User. I'll improvise."

"We don't suggest that."

I smiled at his statement, "Too bad."

I swam in to the shallow water and the Geth still hadn't spotted me. I got behind one of the rocks that lined the perimeter. I looked around for some way to take on the Geth. I reached back for my assault rifle and realized it wasn't there. I must have dropped it under water.

I was bringing my hand back when it bumped into the glaive. That gave me an idea; I grabbed the glaive and thought about how I could do this. That's when Drew rang in my ears.

"I can guide your glaive sir."

I smiled and enacted my plan; I threw my glaive to the left and ran right. The Geth locked in on my glaive and began firing at it allowing me a chance to pull out my shotgun and take down one of the troopers. This caused the get a shift in focus from my glaive to me and I got pinned down behind a different rock.

I barked orders to Drew, "swing the glaive around and take out one of the Geth!"

I listened as the shots pinged against the rock and waited for them to shift. I heard a sharp sound of metal on metal and then the Geth fire shifted again. I dodged around and tossed a grenade at a destroyer. Then, I pulled up my shotgun and blasted another trooper. The Geth fire then reconcentrated on me and I dodged back around the side of the rock.

"Drew, where is the glaive?"

Drew was silent for a moment, then he spoke, "The glaive is lodged in the destroyer that I hit it with."

I hit the rock, "Fuck, how many enemies are left?"

Drew took another pause, "two rocket troopers, one trooper, one destroyer, and one prime."

I pulled out the detonator for my grenades, "What if I light off the grenade I threw?"

"With the range and destruction mode, it will take out the destroyer and a rocket trooper."

I didn't hesitate for a moment; I lit off the grenade and ran around the rock. The Geth got distracted by the grenade and that allowed me to gun down the last Geth trooper.

This however gave time for the rocket trooper to get a lock on me and fire one off. I didn't have time to dodge and brought my arms up to protect myself. That's when I realized my omnitool was activated. I brought them down to see a black combat drone fly forward and meet the rocket head on.

I looked forward and hip fired my shotgun and blew away the rocket trooper. That was when it hit me that the prime wasn't firing. I looked over to the gun and saw it lined with snipers all trained on me.

"Fuck."

Shepard:

Shepard's mouth stayed agape as Wrex walked back toward them. Wrex had a certain swag to his walk after throwing Ty off the ship. Not that he disproved it; there were plenty of times he wished he could throw one of the little trio off his ship. This was still very bad though.

Wrex looked at Shepard's confused look, "What's wrong?"

Shepard gestured toward the opening, "You just threw him out without a reentry pack or a parachute."

Wrex just shrugged, "So?"

Shepard wanted to hit Wrex so hard, "Humans can't survive ten mile fall!"

Wrex just shrugged, "Neither do Krogan. Now are we going to drop or is this just a going away party for him?"

Shepard grumbled and they all climbed into the Mako. Shepard made all the adjustments to the tank and then sat back in chair waiting for them to be over the drop zone. Shepard reran the plan through his head as he waited.

First, drop Ty off at the second AA gun. Second, drop Shepard and the others near the first gun. After that happens, Joker was supposed to drop the other two Users off in a position to flank the enemy. Assuming Ty survives and can make enough ruckus that is. Damn it Wrex, why do you have to be such a Krogan!?

"Over the drop!"

Shepard heard the words and hit the button to launch. He felt the Mako thrust forward out of the Normandy and strait to the ground. Shepard's hands flew over the tank controls and activated the jets. Shepard used the jets and slowed his decent until he landed the Mako and continued to keep going.

Shepard flew down the alley and canyons formed in the Mako. He didn't see much resistance until he rounded a corner and saw an armature. Shepard fought the urge to back up and hide around a corner. Instead he gunned it and rammed the armature.

The armature rode up on the hood completely disoriented. Shepard couldn't see worth a damn and used the cannon to blow the armature apart. Shepard let a smile come to his face and realized that it was too soon. Shepard began rapidly turning the wheel right and flew behind a rock to buy him some time. Shepard began circling the Colossus firing round after round.

Wrex clutched to the seat, "Damn it."

Garrus was doing the same, "What's wrong Wrex? You feeling sick?"

Wrex smiled, "Nah, the kid just drove a lot smoother. I'm not used to shitty driving anymore thanks to him."

Shepard held up a middle finger Wrex after the colossus fell. He gunned the Mako and flew down the paths until he reached the cannon. Shepard saw the path was blocked and looked back to the team. Wrex and Garrus gave a nod and opened the doors.

The three rushed out and charged the cannon. Garrus ripped out his sniper rifle and fell back into sniper position. Wrex did the opposite with shotgun and rushed the enemy. Shepard stayed on Wrex's right flank and gave support fire with his banshee assault rifle.

Garrus took cover in a cluster of rocks and began taking down Geth snipers. Wrex and Shepard cut up the ramp and made their way up to the gun. By the time they got up to the top Garrus had cleared the way and that allowed them to cut up to the control entrance.

When Shepard and Wrex got to the door they were rushed by a Geth destroyer. Shepard quickly dodged to the side and Wrex charged back and tackled the destroyer. Shepard switched to his shotgun and blew the head off the destroyer.

Shrepard helped up Wrex and they both made their way into the control area and dispatched the two Geth troopers at the controls. Shepard walked up to the controls and looked at them only to hesitate. He turned around and flipped on the comm.

"How the hell do I deactivate this cannon?"

Wooh, that was a great chapter. Leave a PM and/or a review depending on your preferance. Oh, and I have inspired someone to write. If you want to know the story just PM me and I will tell you since I don't want to seem like I am forcing down your throats. I realize I shouldn't have been tell you guys to read other stories and all. I'm sorry about that. Now, on to next week.
