Mass Effect Shepard Rises.
After a little wait for Bravo team to arrive they all made there way into the underground facility they were meet with two paths " bravo team you head left we will take the right." with that the two teams split up, as he is walking down the path he scans his surrounding there was no sign of the geth " Tali anything" he watches as a orange glow casts shadows around them "its hard to say shepard all im picking up is that energy spike." he nods "ok thanks for trying." they proceed further down the path until they reach an elevator "bravo team come in" no response "kaidan" still no response "that energy spike must be throwing off our com frequencies." he says " ok guess were going down pile in" his team piles into the elevator and it starts its descent down. As it descends he looks over at his team Wrex just looks bored as he fiddles with his shotgun, Tali is leaning on the railing looking down, he walks to her " hey Tali you okay?" he asks as Tali turns to him " I shouldn't have looked down err" of all the things she could of said that was not one of them he chuckles loudly " sorry Tali ok looks like our stop is coming up everyone get ready." he pulls out his assault rifle and feels as it expands in this hands.
Once the elevator comes to a stop his team step out onto a metal walk way with rocks that had fallen from the walls scattered around a blue glow was being cast some where underneath them a gunshot sounds out and his shields flare as his instincts kick in and he ducks behind what little cover there is " Wrex find that sniper?" another shot rings out echoing all around them as a cocky voice sounds in his helmet " scoped and dropped you owe me shepard" he laughs and stands "thanks Garrus what's your situation?" he listens as Garrus informs him " surprisingly little a few paths are blocked by rubble." he looks down and see's that blue glow and a idea forms in his head " Garrus from your position can you cover use with sniper rifles?" "yeah should be easy enough why" he walks over the edge and judges a drop of a few meters " follow my lead Wrex, Tali you follow on my mark" with that he jumps over the edge and lands followed by a loud crash as Wrex lands "damn not young as used to be" he hears Wrex crumble he scans the area but see no signs of the geth all the is, is an asari floating helplessly behind " ok Tali come on down," he looks up and watches as Tali leaps over the edge he spreads his arms and she lands in his arms "oh hello beautiful looks like angels are following from heaven." he jokes as he watches Tali hands wring together in a dance. He lowers he to her feet and squeezes her shoulder and makes his way to the asari.
"hello can you hear me" he says and watches as the asari opens her unfocused eyes, she stares at them for a full minute before she starts thrashing around " hello can you hear me out there I need help" he notices by hear voice she sounds young by asari standards " are you doctor Liara T'Soni?" he asks "yes I am please you have to help me" he nods " ok tell me what happened?" his teams steps besides him as Liara launches into what happened " I was researching these ruins, there prothean when the geth can you believe that geth attacked, anyway I got scared so I activated the security systems but I must of triggered something I wasn't meant to now im trapped please you have to get me out of here." he's about to speak when kaidan voice rings out " commander we got contacts" he scans the area and see's the geth one level from them he jumps down to them and opens up with his rifle, he aims at the first geth and blows its head off a knife fly's throw the air and ends up imbedded in a geth's optic the third geth exploded as a sniper shoot blew its head off. "scratch one" came Garrus voice followed by Kaidan's "damn Garrus you're the best shot I've seen I swear it" he watches as Tali and Wrex jumps down "were did that knife come from?" he asks but his questions answered when he sees Tali bending down and pulling out the knife from the geth head.
Now that the geth had been dealt with the team had to find a way to disable the energy barrier Liara was stick in at the moment his team was looking through tents they found for anything off note when Tali's voice shouted out " Shepard I've got something here it's a drilling laser" a smile spreads his face "can we use it to blast our way past the barrier?" he says and watches as Tali seems to think for a minute before nodding " yes it should do the trick" he nods and radio's Kaidan " we have a solution for getting to Liara report to the surface and prepare the Normandy for pick up" " yes commander" he turns to Tali "so can you get it to work?" he looks as Tali places a hand on her hip and cocks her head to the side "ok ok I get it you're a Quarian" he watches as she jumps to work.
After a few minutes of her messing around with the laser she nods her head and dusts her hand off " ready Shepard" his team take a step back and he nods to Tali who presses the button on the side to fire the beam for 30 seconds and runs to join Shepard, a bright red light fires and burns through the rock he shields his eyes and feels his armour start to warm up then suddenly the whole area was in complete darkness as the laser shut off. He activates his flashlight on his rifle and walks towards the hole and into a prothean elevator and after a few button presses later they are behind Liara who is still suspended in the air "how did you get in here? And what was that noise?" after a explanation from him about the laser he de activated the field and Liara dropped to the ground.
POV switch
Tali was on edge the short ride not only had triggering the laser resulted in a seismic event but after a really slow ride on the elevator had lead them to a trap set by the geth and a krogan " surrender or don't doesn't matter" he spoke and Shepard's reply was just " step aside or die Krogan" Tali takes aim at the nearest geth with her shotgun ready to kill it as it stares back at her making little clicking noises, Tali finger hovers over the trigger and when Shepard charges at the Krogan she pulls the trigger blowing a hole in its chest she spins round and shoots another geth she watches as Wrex blow 3 geth away and crushes a fourth with his biotics they both turn to Shepard as he dodges a punch from the Krogan and he punches him right in the face stunning him they watch as Shepard moves around the back of the Krogan kicks his legs out from under him and grabs its massive head " you want strength I will show you strength" as he grips the Krogan's head and pulls ripping it off and kicking its limp body aside. Before they can say anything the place shakes and she can feel the heat from the lava as it rises and pours from the walls, the team plus Liara run into the elevator that takes them up to the surface and she activates it as it shakes and slowly rises up the shaft. She looks down with a worried expression as the lava gets higher and higher " shepard were not going to make it." she says she feels as his hand grips her shoulders and his voice is hard and commanding " yes we will Tali" she believes him.
POV switch
After reassuring Tali he looks up to see the elevator only got 200 metres left before there free it rises slowly then stops just as there jumping out the elevator falls into the lava melting until there's nothing left they all turn and run to the light as they can hear Kaidan's voice " come on run commander we have not got long" as they run he watches as Tali stumbles and falls on a rock he stops and grips her arm and lifting her up " I got you" he says as he runs with Tali in his hands and closes his eyes as the bright sun blinds him. He stands there forcing air into his burning lungs he can see the Normandy hover just above the ground as his team run aboard, he looks at Tali in his arms and runs up the ramp as it closes behind him and he feels as joker rises the Normandy into the air and to safety.
