Recap: "Well looks like that's the base. I will go there tomorrow. I'll send word to the Alliance and hit that base. I need to prepare first though. Isaac! Prepare to send a message to the Alliance. Knowing them it will take a few days for them to move. Tomorrow we go to end this!" Shepard said ready to put an end to all of this.

Now

Year 2178, Torfan

It had been a few days since Shepard and Isaac had sent the message about the slaver base to several Alliance officers specifically Hackett, Anderson, Kahoku and Rear Admiral D-bag (you know who). He made sure the seeds of attack were planted before he left omega. He had prepared for this day for years now. He got info of the base to the Alliance for assistance or a final goodbye in case he died. He had prepared his weapons and added shredder rounds to all of them to give him an edge in the fight. For the last few days He made sure Isaac could offload himself off the ship in case it was destroyed. He was seeing the reality of the situation: He and Isaac could very well die in this fight. To him he knew even with all his abilities and Isaac's as well they would not survive alone. That's why he called the Alliance. They were his ace in the hole. The trick up his sleeve. His last laugh if he was killed here. Isaac suddenly pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Shepard, I'm detecting a few hundred ship signatures speeding in our direction from the relay system." Isaac announced.

"So, they finally arrived huh?" Shepard said aloud. He then proceeded to put on his Ghost outfit. His outfit had not changed at all. It still had the hood on, all upgrades had been maintained or replaced, it was fully functional. He then checked his omni-tools and Bio-amp. They were in top condition, he had to admit Serrice Council knew how to make this stuff last. Then he looked at his weapons. All had been repaired and upgraded with Combat Optics, Shredder Rounds, Frictionless materials and kinetic coils. All were the highest they could get. He also had Isaac take scans of the base and had counted at least 1500 personnel excluding the slaves being held inside. Isaac had all the blueprints memorized down to the ventilation shafts. Shepard also noticed that they had several mechs including the LOKIR kind as well YMIR models. He had to think of a way to turn this to his advantage. He then decided that it was time to assault the base before the Alliance could do anything.

"Isaac send me to the surface and be ready if I need extraction or an airstrike." Ghost said ready for the war he was about to go into.

A few minutes later

Ghost made his way on the surface with his tactical cloak on careful not to be seen by the enemy. He had scoped out the exterior of the base and saw all kinds of security: Troops, Anti-infantry, Anti-aircraft, even a couple tanks. He hid behind a hill and laid on his stomach, took his sniper rifle out and aimed at one of the anti-infantry turrents to see if there were any weaknesses on it. That was when he saw that it was looking back at him and fired right in his direction.

'SHIT!' he thought as ducked down behind the hill. A second later and his head would have been gone. That was when he noticed it kept shooting in his direction at the hill and it was starting wear the hill down he sprinted to the next only for the second AIT(anti-infantry turrent) to join in. He was now dodging for his life with his tech armor on as well as a barrier up and with adrenaline pumping through his veins. With all of that he barely dodging any direct hits and his armor and barriers were being hit by shrapnel from the impacts around him. That was when he tripped and fell on his side right in sight of the first AIT. It fired a second later, the round coming at him at incredible speed.

'Come on move. Move! MOVE!' he thought frantically and in a flash, he was a few meters away tumbling on the ground surrounded by a biotic aura. He didn't know what happened, but he wasn't complaining. It took a second for the turrents move with him but it was all the time he needed.

"Isaac hit the front gate with an airstrike!" Ghost yelled into the comm.

"Acknowledged." Isaac said firing at the gate. The resounding explosion knocked Ghost of his feet and destroyed the gate as well as the AITs. He then ran into the bases courtyard with both omni-shields up protecting him from heavy fire coming from both sides. He quickly looked around and noticed the anti-aircraft turrents (AATs) were on the ground. He then moved to the nearest one and jumped on top of it. He then created a biotic bubble around himself and began to compress all the biotic energy around himself. He did so until was curled into a ball floating in mid-air. Then suddenly he released all of it and created a powerful biotic repulse destroying the AAT and sending everyone on their backs, even killing a few. That was when the Alliance ground forces came in. Ghost then retreated back to where the gate was and joined up with an Alliance unit that had gotten there. They all took cover as the hellstorm of bullets came on them all. That was when the major of the unit decided to introduce himself.

"Hello, my names Kyle, Major Kyle." The newly named Major Kyle said.

"How is it going Major, I'm Ghost." Ghost replied back.

"I know." Major Kyle said.

"What do you mean you know?" Ghost asked confused.

"All of the officials that you sent your message to told all of us to assist you in this fight figuring you were going to rip the slavers a new one as soon as you could." Kyle explained. Ghost was shocked now. He had expected the Alliance to begrudgedly allow him to be a part of this fight, instead they were supporting him? He could get use to that.

"Well Major first we need to take out that AAT over there, after that I have to get into the base to shut down the other defenses in the other areas. There is a good chance we all could lose our lives if we fail. Now listen you all distract them buy moving toward the tanks over their where I damaged that other AAT. After I take that AAT out you need to take your squad back here and retreat back until reinforcements show. Understand?" Ghost told the Major.

They all proceeded to go along with the plan and it worked, but with the Major's squad suffering heavy casualties until only the major could make it out with Ghost being able to get in. Ghost knew they were all going to die but with this chance he could save more lives. It doesn't mean he doesn't feel guilty about it though, they trusted him and he sent them to die. 'It doesn't matter' he tried to think. He needed to get to the master control. As he ran down the hall he encountered several enemies. Killing them all very easily, especially the ones who surrendered, he kept going until he made it to the master security. Using his pistol, he shot each of the guards in the head without batting an eyelash. After that he hacked the controls and deactivated all the defenses such as the cameras, opening all the gates, changed the turrents' programming to fire on friendlies instead of enemies. With that the Alliance will most certainly get the upper hand. Then he noticed that the control for all of the mechs was in the room he decided to do what his mother did all those years ago: Turn the mechs on the staff. With that the slavers were getting decimated from the inside and outside. He quickly locked the computer with Isaac only having access to it and left the room. He had made sure to program the mechs to have no mercy even when the enemy surrenders. Soon enough he came to where the slaves were being kept and started freeing them. He couldn't believe how many people from different races were trapped here: humans, asari, krogan, turians, drell, hanar, a few quarians, and even other batarians. It made him sick to his stomach.

With each pen he opened up he could hear everyone giving their thanks:

'Thank you'

'May the spirits bless you'

'May you conquer your enemies in all your battles'

'Goddess keep you'

'keelah se'lai stranger'

'Amonkira guide you human'

'May the Enkindlers keep you from harm'

That was pretty much all he heard. He just nodded and kept walking the right direction he needed. That was when he noticed that the main part of the base was right in front of him. The one who ordered the attacks would be right in there, the one he needed dead. He took his assault rifle out and walked into the room. As soon as he walked in the door closed behind him and he came face to face with a muscular batarian on a throne of some sort.

"So this is the great Ghost that I have heard so much about. I must say I am disappointed. I thought you would be taller." The lead slaver said.

"Sorry to disappoint you, you are exactly what I expected though." Ghost said back to the Boss.

"Oh, you were expecting a handsome four-eyed god to grace you with his presence?" The boss said with chuckle.

"No, I expected a king of thieves who cares only for himself and profit. An ugly one too. And low and behold its what I find. In fact you are in a league all on your own in the ugly department. What happened? Were you born a ken doll or something asshat?" Ghost said with a smile in his voice. The boss was now pissed. This guy barged into his base and had the gall to insult him?! He's dead!

"Normally, I would be killing you right now, but I want to test out my new toy." The Boss said with sneer. That was when he pushed something on his omni-tool and a second later another figure came walking into the room. It was an asari who seemed to be struggling against something. Whatever it was Ghost couldn't see it. This asari was obviously in her matriarch stage and she wore an awesome ceremonial looking red armor and some sort of red tiara thing on her head. That was when the boss continued to gloat.

"You see we found her in asari space while hitting one of their colonies and she killed a few dozen of my boys, but we eventually overwhelmed her. Now she is going to be my personal toy once the control implants work properly. Once they do she will fight for me, cook for me and sleep with me like the bitch she is. Imagine my surprise when I got an asari justicar under my control. Now are you ready…. Samara?" The Boss said with evil disgusting grin on his face. So that was how he was controlling her huh? Ghost was going to have figure out a way to save her and kill him. That was when the asari named Samara spoke, "By the code, You will die."

"Justicars and their code. The only code you will be following from now on is mine!" The Boss said as he commanded Samara to attack Ghost. She charged at him using pull, but he managed to get out of the way and used throw on her creating some distance between them.

'Ok, I can't use my guns on her otherwise, she'll die. That also includes lethal tech attacks like incinerate. So I'm down to using passive biotic abilities and tech abilities. Great.' Ghost thought trying to form a plan. That was when he noticed Samara was acting sluggish like she was trying to fight off the implants. That's exactly what she was doing! He could use it as window of opportunity he just needed the right moment. That was when Samara attacked him again this time getting close and personal using hand to hand mixed with biotic power. Then she managed to kick him in the chest, sending him flying to the opposite wall. The kick had probably broken 2 or 3 ribs of his now he was in pain. Luckily his healing was already taking care of it.

"Dammit! I need to do something before she actually kills me!' Ghost thought frantically. That was when he noticed something behind Samara.

'That'll work.' He thought to himself getting up. He then shot an incinerate attack in her direction. Samara saw the attack coming and closed her eyes waiting for her death to come. Instead she felt the heat pass her. She looked around and saw it hit the tank behind her. The tank held gas that was pumped through the building underground to provide heat. She looked back only to see Ghost running at her. They both ran at each other and clashed in a furious display of biotics. That's was when the area around them blew up sending both of them into the floating with their biotic auras showing. Ghost then used his biotics to 'grasp' a chunk of the debris that was in midair, twirled around in a 360 motion and threw it at Samara hitting and sending her to ground further from him. (think of the amazing spiderman 2 final trailer) He then used his biotics to glide speedily toward and used stasis. 'There! With that no one can attack her with guns, those implant signals are disrupted, and she can't move.' Ghost thought happily. He turned to the Batarian Boss who was now cowering at Ghost.

"You can't kill me! I can be useful! I-I-I'll provide the Alliance intel on the other slaver operations in the galaxy!" the Boss bargained.

"No" was all Ghost said as used the unnamed move he had used earlier when dodging the turrent fire, in combination with his omni-blades he bisected the Boss with no effort at all.

"I call that move Juggernaut Judgment, and that was for everyone you hurt." Ghost said to the bisected Batarian.

"Ghost!" a voice said. That was when he saw Anderson with several other soldiers including Kaiden Alenko. Ghost nodded to them and went to the down asari justicar. The implants were tied to the 'master's' life signs so they should be off. The stasis ended with him offering her a hand up. She took it saying thank you. Ghost then decided to properly introduce himself to her.

"Hello my name is Ghost. It's an honor to meet you, Justicar Samara." Ghost said politely.

"The honor is mine, Ghost." Samara said back weakly.
