"I wasn't there... I left, like a coward rather than dying to defend you..."
-
She smiles sadly. "I'm fine though."
-
"I won't let it happen ag-" [b]the gut wrenching sound of a gunshot rings out behind him, he falls to the ground, a bullet through his lung. A familiar figure stands in the shadows behind him[/b] "[i]hey, Tara...[/i]"
-
She stands frozen in a mix of sadness, disbelief, and horror. "No..."
-
[b]shepard steps foreward from the darkness[/b] "TARA RUN!" [b]before he can follow he is tackled by a fear monger, who proccedes to rip his face apart right in front of Wheatley and Tara.[/b]
-
She grabs Wheatley and sends a shockwave at the beast before running down the hall.
-
[b]she is stopped by an arm. A large spider leg holds her in the air as a massive spider reaches into a portal, retrieving the corpses of both Lucas and John, as well as one for Wheatley, that periodically dissapears each time Wheatley pops back into consciousness [/b] "They died for you, Tara... They gave their species to save yours, and you have made their entire efforts in vain..." [b]he drops John and Wheatley, holding only Luke and a monger claw, streaking it across the corpses neck[/b] "Remember all they've done..." [b]he drops the corpse and picks up John, where he takes a knife similar to Shepards and slashes it down the middle[/b] "All all they've given..." [b]he finally moves on to Wheatley, which he holds a gun to the chest and fires. Wheatley stops breathing[/b] "All the time you wasted trying to save them, was it all that worth it? [spoiler]that was really long sorry... Also EVIL AF[/spoiler]
-
She screams in unbelievable rage and pumps the gun full of magic before firing a bolt so ridiculously powerful it shreds the paint on the walls without even touching it.
-
[b]the creature is sent flying back into a portal[/b] "YOU HAVE YET TO SEE THE ENDS OF THE POWER INVESTED IN THE HIVEMIND... I SHALL RETURN" [b]all three of them awaken, confused and out of breath.[/b]
-
She runs over to them, both relieved and confused. "What the heck was that!?"
-
Shepard: "w...where...no... NO! FACE ME AGAIN YOU BASTARD!!! AAAAAAAGHH!" John; "he's... What? Tara..." [b]wheatley just lays there, silent[/b]
-
"Uh. I don't... What?"
-
[b]shepard falls to his knees and claws away at his face, his and johns eyes drop, to be completely black with a deep orange dot as a pupil. They smile literally ear to ear as they lung toward Tara, waking her from some kind of trance[/b] "WAKE. UP! WAKE UP! HES TRYING TO CONFUSE YOU MAN!"
-
She jerks into focus and puts a strong barrier up. "What the actual heck is going on!?"
-
"Tara, calm down, it was a hallucination, probably from dimension hopping or whatever... I need to get you back to the oddessey..."
-
She shudders and nods before mumbling. "He didn't mention that."

-
She grasps his hand and follows.
-
"C-C-come on... The e-EXFILL isn't ffffffar...." [b]that same little voice echoes through his mind [/b] [i]"what has she done for you? Eat her, your starving and this just fresh meat waiting to be taken."[/i]
-
Tara silently follows.
-
[b]he shambles through the alleyways, the strange voice in his mind simply finds no end[/b] "[i]NOW! NOW! She's vulnerable, she trusts you... What's a pity. Look at her standing there, like a poor little doe staring down the barrel of hunger that is you."[/i] [b]he hears a distant gunshot from the slums, and takes that as an excuse to book it down the freeway toward a dropship, throwing Tara over his shoulder to hopefully get them both there at the same time[/b]
-
She jumps into the ship and helps him in.

-
She smiles weakly and sits near the door.
-
[b]the voice continues to ramble in his head while he contimplates how to kill himself to get to finally be silenced[/b]
