Recap: "You are very lucky that he is still alive right now. You do not even deserve to be called an organic you monster!" Isaac said as he went to heal Shepard.

And now

Year 2176, Judgment's medbay

"Well John say hello to your new home."

"My little Johnny, coming to protect his mommy even after all these years."

Alarms blaring

"Well Shepard, I hope you are successful and if you need help, call and I'll be there to cause all kinds of hell."

Revenge, Slavers dying

"What the fuck are you?"

I'm Ghost!

SHEPARD!

"Huh?! Wha?" Shepard bolted up out of the bed. Looking around, he noticed he was in his ship's medbay. He also noticed he was in pain a little. He looked up to see Isaac in his hologram form looking down at him. Isaac's form was a classic, if not cliché, hologram form. The appearance was of a clean shaven young man with his hair combed back, who wore a very well designed suit. (Think Illusive man's suit. Never liked the guy, but he had good taste.) It did not have the same color scheme as a human in fact that was where the similarities stopped. His body was made out bright orange code that took that shape, blue techno eyes, and electric currents going around. (Think of how the VI's used to look like in mass effect 1)

"What hit me?" He asked Isaac.

"You do not remember? You repaired the engine and it hit you with an eezo energy field." Isaac explained. He continued on "Instead of dying though, your body absorbed it and now you are a biotic. Your body went into shock, that was the reason you passed out and your life signs slowed to a crawl."

"I'm in pain because of me being slammed down from the pulse?" Shepard asked wincing as he moved.

"No, the reason why you are in pain is because I had to perform surgery on you and install a. L3 bio-amp into you because your biotics were going out of control and they needed to be eased." Isaac explained. It was all sinking in now. He was now a biotic and powerful one at that if his unconscious display was anything to go by. The question to him was how it could have made him so powerful in the first place? Was there something special about him that he did not know? If he only knew.

"Seriously Shepard, you are lucky we had a amp onboard, no you are lucky to be alive right now." Isaac scolded him.

"Sorry for being reckless, thanks for saving me though." Shepard said rubbing the back of his head.

"It's alright Shepard and you are welcome." Isaac said.

"Hey what amp did you use anyway?" Shepard asked curious about it.

"Believe it or not it is the best on the market, probably stolen by the slavers, but it is called the Savant X made by Serrice Council. I also took the liberty of upgrading your omni-tools as well. They are of the same name as your bio-amp. Serrice Council outclasses even spectre gear in these lines of products." Shepard couldn't help but whistle at that. He was very lucky indeed to have that on his person. He was probably the most well armored fighter in the galaxy, barring spectres of course, they have a well paying budget.

"Cool. What happened to Haliat?" Shepard asked. He was surprised when actually saw Isaac scowl at the name.

"He managed to get away, but not before I hacked his servers and took everything from him.

"Don't worry Isaac. Selfish people like Haliat are vain and are liable to mess up sooner or later. It's only a matter of time before he shows up again." Shepard reassured Isaac

"Are we still close to Elysium?" Shepard finally asked. He was worried and needed to see if anyone needed help.

"We are currently on Elysium Shepard. If you want to you can leave to go see it." Isaac said as his avatar winked out.

"Thanks Isaac." Shepard said before putting on his Ghost outfit.

"Time to see if Elysium is okay or not." Ghost thought to himself as left his ship.

Elysium, main colony

Ghost, fully cleaned and with his black cloak on, walked around to see the colony. He was not liking what he saw. Buildings were either damaged or ruined, rubble was covering most of the streets and there was more than enough bodies, mostly invader bodies, but still. That was when he saw Alenko with several men, officers and his superiors most likely. Alenko must have seen him because he immediately turned to him and pointed. Then the other officers looked and they started to approach. Ghost was a little wary. He knew Alenko was a good man since he fought beside him, but these other guys he did not know a thing about. Two in particular caught his eye though. The one on the left was a tall, pale, man who had a graying beard, blue eyes and had an air of authority about him. The other was a dark skinned man with brown eyes, black hair and a hair style similar to his own if a little longer.

"Sir, this is the one who came to warn me about the attack, I'm guessing he is also the one sent you the urgent message a few days ago." Alenko said to the gray haired man.

"Thank you lieutenant, that will be all." He said and Alenko walked off.

"So you are Ghost. You were the one who saved the colony then." The man said. It wasn't a question.

"I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage here.." Ghost said wanting to know who he was talking to.

"I am Admiral Hackett, these men beside me are Captain Anderson, Rear Admiral Kahoku, and Rear Admiral Mikhailovich. We are in response to your message that sent to us. We would like to question you on how you found out about this." Hackett stated with no room for argument.

"Well do want to talk outside or inside somewhere?" Ghost said wanting to be clear. He didn't care either way it was just a sentiment.

"You will address Admiral Hackett with proper respect mercenary!" Mikhailovich said with contempt.

Before any of the others could tell him it was okay Ghost replied, "Well sorry, I was never part of the military at all and do not know protocol. Also what is your problem with me? Are you always this angry or did something crawl up your ass and died this morning?" Shepard said. Now everyone in the vicinity was looking at him in shock. He just cursed at a Rear Admiral in front of several soldiers as well as several other high ranking officers. This guy was either brave or stupid.

"What did you say to me?!" Rear Admiral Douchebag squawked (hehe). Before Ghost could say anything else Hackett intervened.

"Look its fine he doesn't know protocol and actually I would prefer we debriefed you inside, out of public eyes." Hackett stated ending the argument.

"Fine by me." Ghost simply said walking alongside everyone to his debriefing.

Later on at one of the places still standing

They were having this little meeting one of the few intact structures that wasn't hit in the invasion.

"Well first of all let me ask you why you have been attacking slavers in the first place." Anderson started off.

"I thought we were going to be talking about Elysium?" Ghost said in confusion. Why do they want to know about him personally? Were they scouting him?

"We need to know every detail on how this started, I feel that will be best accomplished by knowing a little about you." Anderson explained.

"Well in that case what have you heard about me?" Ghost asked.

"We have heard that you have been attacking slavers hard and fast with none of them surviving and you freeing the people going to be sold into slavery. What we want to know is this: Why are you going after them? How are you finding them when we can't? and what information do you have so far?" Anderson asked in an even tone.

"Well since you asked nicely I'll tell you. I'm finding them by either looking through the databases in the outpost or by torturing the leaders of the outpost. The former is how I found out about this attack. The only other information on them that I know of is the one who instigated this is human named Elanos Haliat and he was backed by the Hegemony." Ghost said shocking everyone in the room. A human was the cause of this? The Hegemony backed this up?

"You never said why and what do you mean that you know of?" Hackett said.

"You want to know why I do what I do? It's obvious justice and revenge." Ghost said shocking everyone with his response.

"Those are two names for same things." Kahoku said for first time.

"No, they are close but the difference is the drive and how you do it. I'm getting vengeance by taking on the main base when I find it and justice for all those who have lost or would have lost everything to them." Ghost explained.

"Okay and what did you mean that you knew of?" Anderson asked.

"Before Haliat got away, I managed to hack into his ship's computer and take all the data out of it. I'm thinking I might be able to find something that might lead me to the main base."Ghost admitted it wasn't much but it would help. Then Rear Admiral D-bag spoke up.

"You are to give us all the information you acquired over the years including the information you found on this Haliat's ship immediately." He ordered. Now that was the wrong thing to say to Ghost. Now Ghost could have done several things: Shot the man, stare at the man or simply ignore him. Instead he lifted up his middle finger toward the man silently.

"That's what I think of your orders and you." Ghost said in a bored tone. Before another fight could break out Anderson offered Ghost a deal.

"How about you become a corsair for us?" He offered.

"What the hell is a corsair?" Ghost asked.

"Basically it is a freelancer that does alliance navy missions and has no real connection to the Alliance." Kohoku explained.

"No thank you, I'm fine on my own." Ghost stated. Pretty it up how much you want, being a puppet is being a puppet. "Here is my counter offer: when I find the base, I will send word to you about it. Deal?" Ghost offered back. He knew even if he mastered his new biotic abilities he wouldn't last long against that base, not without help.

"Deal." They all agreed.

Later on, Back on the Judgment

Shepard was out of his ghost outfit now and was ready to leave.

"Isaac let's get going we need to get back home and sift through this information we got. I would rather not have the Alliance track us so let's go." Shepard said to Isaac.

"Right Shepard lets go home." Isaac said. As the ship hit the mass relay and propelled forward into FTL speeds.

Three quarters of the way to Omega

"Shepard there is a distress beacon on the planet below." Isaac notified Shepard. Shepard acted fast and started putting on his Ghost outfit and weapons. "Let's go see what's down there then." He said.

Planetside

Ghost had made it onto a hill and took out his sniper rifle and scoped down to see what was the source of the beacon. He saw 8 mercenaries in white armor surrounding an asari who dressed in light armor. On instinct he shot 3 of them before his sniper rifle overheated. That gave the asari the opening she needed to kill another 3 leaving 2 of them. By the time she killed those 3 the last 2 were aiming at her. Thinking quickly, Shepard took out his dual omni-bows and fired at the 2, hitting them in the necks instantly killing them. As he walked up to the asari he noticed she looked somewhat familiar to him. Now he knows he never met her before, but he may have seen her in crowd or someone who looked liked her. Before he could ask if she was alright she questioned him.

"Why did you save me?" She asked.

"Do I need a reason to save someone?" Ghost responded with his own question.

"Usually." She responded.

"Well I'm unusual to most others." Ghost said.

"What is your name?" She asked him.

"Ghost, what's your's?" the asari's eyes widened then she relaxed.

"My name is Liselle." She said.

"I'm headed toward Omega. You need a ride there?" Ghost offered not wanting to be rude.

"Actually yes, I was heading there myself." Liselle said smiling at him.

"Well then lets go I would rather get there as soon as possible." Ghost said.

"As would I." Liselle responded. With that they both went to his ship. Ghost warned Isaac ahead of time before they entered so his identity was kept secret.

Omega

"Hey could you come with me to where I was going? There is someone I think you should meet." Liselle asked him smiling.

"Uh Sure lets go I could probably find my way back from where we are going." Ghost said pulling up his hood so no one would see his mask. After walking for a few minutes they both came up to Omega's most famous dive: Afterlife. Now Ghost wasn't surprised when they got in he was thinking that she was meeting someone at the bar. Ghost was confused when instead of going to the bar, she went up the stairs to the…throne.

'Wait that's Aria T'loak's throne! Is she going to ask for a favor or something?!' He thought as he followed her. He made sure to keep close in case someone tried to hurt her. Now they were in front of Aria T'loak the pirate queen of Omega. Ghost stayed clear of her for several reasons: 1) she was scary 2) She did not really do anything to garner his attention 3) She was a stabilizing element for Omega. Now what shocked him most was when Liselle spoke to her.

"I have returned, Mother." The only thought going through Ghost's head at that moment was 'What the frenchtoast?!'

"Liselle, not that I'm not happy to see you, but who is this that you have brought with you?" Aria said not having taken her eyes of him since he walked up with Liselle. Liselle then went on to explain how she had met Ghost and how he had saved her from the mercenaries. After listening to the story she finally spoke to Ghost.

"Why did you save her? Did you know who's daughter she was? Was it to spite the Mercs? Why?" and Ghost responded the same way he responded to Liselle.

"Do I need a reason for saving someone? I didn't she was your daughter and I didn't know the mercs after her. I did it because I saw someone in trouble and I could help." Aria was caught off guard to say the least. That's why he did it? No reward at all? She then smirked. She knew she could manipulate him and use him as a tool to help keep Omega in check.

"Well you must want something then after finding out that she is my daughter, so just this once all allow you a favor." Aria baited him. What she did not expect was Ghost to sigh.

"Look if you want me to do some jobs for you no problem, as long as it isn't slavery, but there is no need to try to bait me into it ya know." Ghost said having seen through her. This only entertained her more. Someone she did not know very well saw through her so fast. This guy was interesting. Then he continued on, "But since you are giving out favors, there is one that I need."

"Well what is it?" Aria asked mildly curious to what he wanted.

"I need someone to teach me biotics, someone competent at least." He said shocking both her and Liselle. By all the reports and rumors Ghost never used biotics. Why now?

Aria then thought 'Doesn't matter, this is perfect for getting him under my thumb.' She then went on to say "Well then as this is personal favor from one to another then I will tech you. I will warn you though my training will make you wish you were dead." She said freaking everyone out. Aria training someone who wasn't her daughter? Inconceivable! What freaked everyone out, even Aria was what Ghost said, "It won't be different from my other training and my life then. When do we get started teach?"

Read, Review, could use some ideas.
