So here is the chapter, sorry it is two weeks late. I got sick again and it wasn't as easy to get over as the last time. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter even though it pained me to write it.

Ty:

I gazed out into the water holding Tali tightly. I found myself wondering how data could make me feel like this. I felt at ease, like everything would be alright and I wasn't trapped in a video game. I was here by choice. Then, that all was shattered by Wrex's sudden yelling.

I let go of Tali and looked at Wrex and Shepard who had guns pointed at each other with determined stares. Both were ready to kill the other. I began searching for something to stop them and saw Danny sneaking up behind Wrex. He had a taser omni-blade active and was about to make a move when the group got quiet and Wrex heard him sneaking up. Wrex whipped around and charged full force towards Danny.

Danny tried to jump of the way but Wrex batted him to the side like a plastic bag floating through air in his path. Danny flew off into the water and Wrex got out of Shepard's shotgun range before he could take a shot. Wrex, however, had his pistol and fired on Shepard sending a shot through his shoulder and leg causing Shepard to fall to one knee in pain.

Wrex continued to charge at a Salarian in the shelters. The Salarian began running to the back of the shelter and put boxes between him and Wrex but Wrex's superior strength smashed through the boxes with ease and grasped the Salarian. Wrex pulled his gun up and was ready to pull the trigger.

I was on autopilot thanks to the video game skill I had adopted. I pulled up my sniper rifle and took aim. I was an engineer and didn't have the skills to use a sniper but it was the only thing that could stop Wrex from this range. I aimed for his midsection hoping to stop him and pulled the trigger

The bullet didn't go to my mark but flew on its own accord. The bullet flew up and straight through Wrex's skull. Wrex's body rag dolled helplessly to the floor of the small facility and on top of the Salarian. I stood and began shaking violently without moving from my position.

Tali saw what had happened and put a hand on my shoulder and another on my gun. She pressed down on the barrel causing me to lower at and my head at the same time. I was the one who killed Wrex. Damn it, I never even thought of his armor.

I began to mentally re-run through everything that had just happened. Thinking of where I went wrong and how I could have reacted differently. There had to be something that I could have done different, just something. My hands tensed around my rifle and I stiffened up, I could feel my knuckles turning white.

That's when I felt arms around my waist and I realized Tali was hugging me from behind. Any other time this would have been comforting but I needed to do something, I couldn't just stand by the beach anymore. I turned back to Tali and returned the hug.

"I have to check what's going to happen now", then I turned from her and began striding to Shepard who was now doubled over in pain.

I looked from Shepard and saw Danny just getting to shore soaking wet and removing pieces of his armor to drain the water. I was about to walk over to him when he saw me and then pointed to Shepard. I could guess that he wanted me to fix him up since nobody else in the game carried medi-gel besides Shepard and me.

I kneeled next to Shepard and applied medi-gel. It took only a few seconds to heal his injuries. Shepard grabbed my arm and looked at me with a determined stare. I helped him up and he stepped away from the group and out into a spot where everyone could see him. He began looking over everyone and paced back and forth.

"This is what Saren does", he gestured over to Wrex's dead corpse, "he tears us apart with his strategies. He wants us to question each other and our loyalty. Don't remember Wrex for what he just did. Remember him as the Krogan that you trusted to watch your back in a pinch. He died because of Saren", Shepard looked over at me, "not because of any of us. This is the line in the sand. Saren just crossed it. So, let's show him what happens when you cross the line."

Everyone began cracking knuckles and readying guns. Even I got a smirk from the anger and motivation I was feeling. Shepard was right; this was Saren and his rule breaking. No matter what happened now, I was going to be the one to kill the Turian cyborg.

I pulled the sniper rifle off my back and cast it off to the side. I figure that if I can't use it then there is no point in carrying it around anymore. Besides, if I am going to kill Saren I am going to make it as painful as possible by ripping him apart bit by bit.

I looked over to the Salarians lining up by a door into the facility. I reach for my assault rifle but I realized that I still didn't have one so I had to settle for my Shotgun again. I ran over to meet up with the Salarians who were all were stacked up in a breaching maneuver so I jumped in line next to their leader. He looked back at me and raised an eyebrow. I just gave a thumbs up and signaled that I was ready.

He just nodded and turned back to the door. He hit the green button and stepped into the facility with his gun leveled. I followed him and we entered in through a narrow hallway. Surprisingly, the hallway lacked resistance.

I looked back behind us once that no Geth were confirmed in the hallway and saw Danny and Cody trailing in the back of the pack. Danny was still sopping wet and Cody had a look of assurance on his face. I nodded to them and continued to move forward.

We moved down the hallway till we reached an elevator. That's when the Salarian turned back to me, "This is the first gun. Shepard said you and your friends are like artillery so we will need you to form a safe perimeter as we take down the gun."

I nodded to his order, "Alright, we got your back captain… what's your name?"

The Salarian pointed to his chest at a name tag that read Kirrahe. I patted him on the shoulder and motioned to Danny and Cody to follow me into the elevator. We stepped in and I hit the button to go up. I looked at the Salarians and gave a smirk as the door closed to go up.

The elevator started going up and Danny asked the question, "What's the plan?"

I just shrugged, "Cut loose, we are Users. We improvise."

I heard Cody chuckle and Danny crack his knuckles. I, myself, began flexing my fingers into a fist. The elevator made a ding sound letting us know we were at the top floor. I pulled my shotgun up for a good surprise for whoever opened the door. I was surprised to see a Geth prime standing by the doors, it surprised me more by talking.

"Halt, state your business."

I was frozen but Danny managed to get a word in, "To fuck your mother!"

The Geth prime was stunned by the answer and gave me a second to blast it in the chest with my shotgun and drop his shields. This allowed for Danny and Cody to gun him down. Bad thing was that behind him was a whole squadron of Geth.

My first reaction was to manipulate my armor but I didn't know what the cooldown time on it was so I decided to save it for Saren and went with the simple option. I reached down and grabbed the Gath Prime's uber rifle at the same time I holstered my shotgun.

I pressed down on the trigger and began mowing down the geth.

Shepard:

Shepard sat at the console with Liara and Garrus. He couldn't decide if he was going to send more Geth toward the Salarian's and User's way or just leave them. Shepard was tired from the fight earlier whereas the Salarians had been sitting pretty. Then again, the Users were in the same boat he was.

Shepard had no idea what to do and couldn't decide which choice to make. He looked over to Garrus and looked for any opinion that could push him either way. What he got was a look of rage and determination. Shepard new what that meant and he backed away from the console. They were going to cut through the Geth like a hot knife though warm butter.

Shepard walked up to the security door and pulled out his new HMWA specter assault rifle. This was going to be fun taking down Geth, especially with a spectre weapon. Shepard smirked and hit the button and aimed down his sights at the door.

It opened up to reveal a husk standing in hisway; Shepard reacted quick and fired his rifle. It packed such force that it dropped the husk and sent it sliding across the room. Shepard and his crew ran into the room and unloaded on a squad of Geth blocking their way. Shepard wanted to laugh at how he was afraid of how many troops were ahead of him a few seconds ago.

The team cut down another two Geth and Garrus used his omni-blade to behead the third. Shepard watched the Geth fall to the ground and gave a whistle. That blade was effective, which was for sure.

Garrus turned to Shepard and Liara to give a triumphant smirk but didn't get the chance because he was bashed to the side by a Geth Destroyer. Shepard brought up his rifle but was hit by a carnage shot and flew backwards into a crate. He opened his eyes to see the Destroyer charging Liara.

Shepard looked over to Liara and only could hear the ringing in his ears. He propped himself up and pulled out his pistol but the force of the prime's attack made his vision out of focus. Shepard snapped his eyes shut and shook his head to refocus. When he opened them he saw Liara hit the Destroyer with a throw, blowing it apart.

Liara looked over to Garrus who was just getting up and then she looked to Shepard. He was still sitting propped up against the box. She reached his side and kneeled next to him. Shepard just waved her off and holstered his pistol.

"We need to keep moving. There is no time to stop."

Garrus and Liara reluctantly nodded and Shepard got to his feet. They began cutting through the Geth with little to no trouble with the remaining forces. Finally, they got to an opening where they heard a voice calling for help.
