Hi there guys and gals, like I said before I have started a co-authoring project so I may be a little slow on the updates but here is one to keep you happy
Disclaimers:…why do I bother?
Rise of the commonwealth Chapter 7
Council space
Star date: 28th December 2157
Council Chambers
Councilor Tevos sighed heavily as they discussed how to deal with the humans once they had been subjugated, there was undoubtedly potential in this new species, the Turians wanted them as a client race to help bolster their military power, the Salarians just wanted a good look at their unknown technologies in particular their AI's, the Asari wished for the exchange of culture and knowledge and for the humans to become a citadel minor species. They were interrupted from their discussion about the division of human territory when they were told by an Asari aid there was a call coming in for them.
"Who is it from?" inquired Sparatus
"Code identification ID's it as General Desolas sir."
"Ah good put him on screen" with that the aid typed in a set of commands and an image of General Desolas appeared, but something was off he was rigid like a board, and seemed agitated.
"General is everything okay?" inquired Tevos, after a few seconds of silence Tevos arched an eye brow "General" suddenly a gunshot rang out from the transmission and Desolas' brains were blown out the side of his head in clear high definition for the three councilors to see, they each recoiled in shock and disgust before Desolas' body was dragged away and the one known as Integra took his place, she had a pistol in her hand and from the smoke coming from the barrel it was clear to see it had been recently fired, very recently.
"Good day councilors" she said in a disturbingly cheery voice "I guess your little attempt at subjugating us failed hey" the council was still in shock, the blatant execution of one of their best commanders had left them momentarily speechless, "Now then I've just called to give you a friendly warning" with that her friendly demeanor was immediately replaced by a cold one and she stared at each of the councilors in a way it would have made a krogan battle master cower in fear. "you have attempted to subjugate my people, kill my soldiers, and destroy what we have strived to create for nearly a century, head my words your 'subjugation force' is the first council force to fall to our might, but it will not be the last, council blood will flow, and you will quiver in fear at our coming." With that the connection was cut and immediately the councilor's omni-tools came to life as messages of unknown fleets a thousand ships strong appearing around a dozen important council worlds, their defensive fleets and fortifications annihilated before they could recover from their shock, started appearing on the screens.
"What the hell, they weren't supposed to have any ships left how are they able to launch a full scale invasion of this scale against us?" it was in that moment the councilors realized how completely they had been outsmarted. The councilors now realized that they were at a massive disadvantage, they knew nothing about their opponent, and the enemy knew everything about them, they were weak from the Batarian relay war, and recently the failed subjugation attempt of the commonwealths apparent homeworld, their enemy was apparently still at full strength after fooling them in thinking they had destroyed the bulk of their fleet. What happens now, the council would find out very soon.

CWS Human Last Resort
Sir Integra looked in disgust at the cobalt blue blood that was currently being cleaned up by the robotic caretakers of the ship, she knew that she had the council right where she wanted them and that the plan of attack thought up by Brigadier General Williams and Fleet Admiral Hackett was well on its way to success, fleets consisting of a thousand ships each would attack 12 council worlds of strategic importance, this would cause the council forces to stretch themselves to deal with the threats, then while they were away…
"Ma'm we are exiting slip space." Integra nodded, she wanted to be here when this battle was fought, the other high parliamentarians had held reservations about such behavior but she had told them in no uncertain terms piss off I'm going don't like it shoot me.
There was a flash of blue throughout the ship as it and the rest of the 8,000 ship strong fleet exited slip space right outside the citadel. Immediately upon exiting slip space the 7 capital ships of the commonwealth charged forward letting loose with particle cannon fire and broad sides of magnetically accelerated slugs, the rest of the fleet opened fire as soon as they re-entered real space, their energy weapons slicing though the ablative plating of the council ships.
The ARS Destiny Ascension had its left wing seared off when a capital ship the CWS Terras blade opened fire with a salvo of accelerated particle fire before ramming the ship causing it to crash into one of the many wards of the citadel. With their flagship gone the council fleet was in disarray and was picked of by the commonwealth ships, it was as one captain put it over the coms like shooting fish in a barrel.

Council Chambers
Tevos watched in fear as the Destiny Ascension crashed into the side of the citadel; the chambers were in chaos as people ran to and fro in an attempt to find safety in what was quickly becoming a war zone, the doors next to the councilors opened and three specters rushed out
"Councilors we need to get you out of here" said Nihlus Kirik
"This way is safe for now we should proceed quickly" continued Tesla Vasir
"Come on we need to hurry" concurred Garrus Vakarian, the councilors set off behind their bodyguards as they navigated their way to the emergency shuttle pad where their escape craft should be waiting, the elevator doors opened and were greeted by a Salarian c-sec officer who saluted before saying.
"Enemy forces are deploying to the citadel c-sec forces are being overwhelmed, we need to hurry before they reach this location" the officer ran through the door and was immediately shot through the head, the Specters and Councilors stopped just as an object was thrown through the door, before they could react there was a thunderous clap of sound and blinding flash of light. Slightly dazed Tevos could just make out a blurry shape as it rushed through the door and attacked Tesla who expertly dodged it, the Asari spectre readied a biotic attack as Tevos' vision returned to normal, but the soldier in front of her, wearing an all black uniform, with a black coat and a purple visor covering their face, moved faster than any normal being Tevos had seen, it's hands blurred to a wicked looking knife on its belt and the in another blur of movement that knife had sliced a massive gash in the specters arm and left leg, she fell to one knee at which point the soldier kicked her in the side of the head and her whole head just exploded in a shower of blood and brain matter.
"Run, I'll hold it off" cried Nihlus the other spectre and councilors complied and took off running back the way they had come.

Emergency shuttle pad
There were few more deadly in the commonwealth forces than a blacklight operator and none more so than those assigned to be under the prime ministers personal control, the dreaded black guard, and now one of these operators had been dispatched to apprehend the council, and Seras Victoria was loving the chance to do something other than guard duty, she had already dispatched of the Asari and was now solely focused on the Turian in front of her, it charged at her with a weird looking knife, the intent was clearly to cut across her neck and open her jugular, but she expertly ducked under the admittedly deadly attack and kicked the back of the Turians leg she heard bones break and the alien shriek in pain, she immediately followed the kick with a fast and accurate punch, but the Turian managed to roll away, she smiled under her visor and charged after him, the Turian met her charge with a tackle she managed to stay stood up, she rammed a knee into its chest hearing something crack before throwing it into the nearby wall, it tried to get up before Seras slammed a foot on and through its chest, crushing its beating heart. She left the dying alien there and ran off after the council.

Codex: Blackguard
The Blackguard are the elite of the elite of the commonwealth forces, they are Blacklight operators who have been in the blacklight corps for a minimum of 12 years, before choosing to undergo an extra set of training on top of the training they did to get into the Blacklight corps, this training is highly taxing and extremely difficult, even with the augmentations the usuall casualty rate is 97% meaning only the best get into the Blackguard, the Blackguard have a 100% success rate on all missions and if one has been deployed against you, you know you're fucked.

EDIT: i changed the blackguard codex slightly as it was quote "barbaric" and after looking at it i had to agree
Here you are boys and girls chapter 7 is finally here, and I would like to ask your help for the next codes, I don't know what else to include so if you could give me some ideas then that would be much appreciated, as always R&R thank you and good day/night.
