"Wow." Kasumi replied.
Thousands of Alliance frigates, fighters, dreadnoughts, and cruisers roamed over Pluto's moon, as Kodiaks from all over landed onto the planet.
Something went over the comms.
"Invictus, this is 11th fleet leader Marcus Germaine; do you copy?" Someone asked over their comms in an African accent.
[spoiler]Open to Royal.[/spoiler]

She seemed mostly to calm down, Kayla looking at her. "I remember her. Personal assistant to Hackett... she supposedly died when the Reapers invaded and destroyed Arcturus Station. At least in my timeline, anyways." She whispers to Noble, as the woman, tried to get up, Ashley coming and supporting her. Riley and Val were looking for anymore survivors, while Kaidan and Miranda tried to help the woman up.
-
"What's your name, miss?" Noble asked, helping her up as best he could. Siren and Maya used the powers together, attempting to heal the wounds of the woman
-
"..G...Gia..." she hastily replied, the shaking in her voice most likely from watching everyone die the way they did. Val had refocused on hacking her way through the door. "I...I don't know if Hackett's alive." Gia had said, looking to the door. "Most of those Cerberus soldiers were either in the hangar or on the bridge."
-
"That's fine. If he's alive, better for us. If he's dead, we'll martyr him." Lillith piped up, with a solemn tone to her voice
-
"He did say he wanted his body chucked out into space if he died." Ashley had responded from behind her, as Gia got up. "I'll...get the door open. It should get you to the bridge fastest. Might have to pass by some...parts that might be out in space." She responds, grabbing what she could off the dead Alliance soldier. "At the very least, I can help try to get some of the ship's defenses up, maybe disrupt Cerberus comma from the control center." She replied. "I could join her. Maybe get involved with trying to get survivors out of here." Val had responded. "At most...I could help you stop whoever' leading this attack." Gia responded, Carnifex up in her hands. [spoiler]-Let Val and Gia help out technologically (Possible Shield and Hammer Support) -Let Gia join the group in rescuing Hackett (Possible Chance of Death (for Gia), but increased Sword Support) [/spoiler]
-
"No. You're not going to see any action. Not after what you went through. We'll clear a way, see what you can do about Comms. Maybe open up a few airlocks, take those fückers into space." Ghost said, patting Gia on the shoulder.
-
She tried to get a small smile out, before saluting. "Yes sir!" "Quite the patriot, isn't she?" Kaidan asked Maya through her ear. "I'll go see what I can do with them. Just...notify us when we have Hackett's status." Val replied, as the door opened, leading to more corpses of Alliance and Cerberus. Although on the Alliance side, most of them were officers who worked on the ship, not soldiers.
-
"Graveyard." Lillith muttered, moving into the new doorway with the others shortly behind
-
"Damn it." Someone with a key eye would've seen something move in the distance...something cloaked. The group started splitting, two doorways on the left, and another hackable one to the right. "Something's here...almost feels like a trap." Kasumi whispered to Lillith.
-
"It probably is." One of the grunts commented. "Alright, pilots go quiet." A number of the Militia troops cloaked, moving through the hallway into various spots. "Noble, Serendipity, Prophet, Go towards the hackable." "Everybody else, go towards the other doorway, and any grunts stay towards the back. Cover us." Ghost took a few steps forward, going towards the hackable with the Invictus following them
-
"Alright; Kaidan, Miranda, Kasumi, head with Noble." Ashley commanded, the two surprisingly following suit (considering Kaidan was a Specter and all) as they went to Noble Everyone else followed Ashley to the unlocked doors...while something was approaching one of the pilots at a rapid pace.
-
"MOVEMENT!" One of the grunts opened fire, and the bullets ricocheted off the walls of the hallway "GET DOWN!" Blood splattered against the cloaked figure as one of the pilots Dead With the clear, visible blood upon the cloaked figure, he was shot at by several at grunts and pilots
-
The figure decloaked as she died, discovered to be a Phantom. Soon enough, the doors automatically opened to reveal Guardians, as more Phantoms piled in. Then...an unknown voice entered their comms, only Kayla recognizing who it was. "Ah...can't believe that you idiots fell for that trap. And yet, I was thinking that these were my only test subjects, the poor dead Alliance. Hackett here seems to enjoy it...don't you?" The unknown voice said, Hackett screaming in pain. "...Of course he does. Toodles!" Immediately, the soldiers started opening fire, the Phantoms attempting to close in on their targets.
-
Bullets ricocheted off the walls, grunts and phantoms falling alike. A few cloaked pilots managed to move through the open doorway, and flank the Phantoms from behind with gunfire. This was a war on two fronts, and it was one hell of a battle. Noble was hit in the shoulder, sending him into the wall as his shields fell and he opened fire with his three burst battle rifle. Serendipity, and Ghost opened up with Blaster and Assault rifle fire, as the Hacked Geth troops also opened fire into the now open doorway
-
The Cerberus soldiers fell down quickly, Miranda throwing up some sort of biotic shield to block as many shots she could, being in front of the injured Noble. Ashley and Kaidan both fired their grenades (Inferno and Biotic, respectively) toward one of the doorways, blowing up a Guardian, as a Phantom landed on top of Ash, attempting to stab her with her sword, Kaidan too busy dealing with a few Guardians on his own. Riley and Val were both protecting Gia, firing Combat Drones and their guns, Riley launching her whips, dragging a poor Guardian through the fight, loose fire taking him out, before throwing him toward a few Phantoms. Val was firing her M-22 Eviscerator, taking down any Phantoms trying to get within range. As for Kayla...well, she was busy fighting a Phantom hand to hand, ditching the sword the Phantom had, dragging themselves behind where Miranda and Noble were, throwing themselves to the wall. Kasumi was who knows where.
-
Ghost sprinted towards Ash, and tackled the Phantom that was over her, taking both of them to the ground in a blur. The Phantom dropped his sword, and Ghost dropped his blaster, but with Ghost on top, he pummeled the Phantom's helmet, slamming his gauntlets into the Phantom's visor. Serendipity's magazine dropped down the ground, empty, and she quickly reloaded, shooting down another Cerberus troop Noble rose up, standing shoulder to shoulder with Miranda and gunning down any of those that dared approach the two of them. Maya rose one of the Cerberus troops into the air and sent him flying into the small crowd that was there From Lillith's back protruded a set of flaming wings, and she went around slamming her fist through the chest of Phantom's and troops, tearing their hearts out and burning away the rest of their bodies. Prophet led the Geth into a mass charge, nearly all 28 of the remaining Geth engaged in a fist fight with the troops as Grunt fire flew over head, by their shoulders and past their stomachs. With the lack of action against the pilots, those behind enemy lines were making quick work of the Troops, with a Firestart grenade Exploding beneath the feet of several enemy troops
-
Due to this, every one do the Cerberus troops pretty much died, leaving the room once again empty. "Oh...you're the Invictus crew. Should've damn known. Engineers; get the Subspace Bomb ready to activate!" The female replied, the comms cutting out. "God damn it, Jade..." Kayla had yelled out loud to everyone, as the door to the right opened, revealing a pathway through the top of the hangar to the bridge. The sound of gun fighting was heard below, most likely from the rest of the Alliance.
-
"Anything down that hallway?" Ghost asked, looking down the door that was originally opened when the Cerberus troops arrived
-
"I'll send in a drone." Val replied, activating her combat drone to scout out the hallway ahead. "No enemies detected. At least up until the bridge." She says, before an explosion was heard. "Damn it! Cryark's lost a damn leg, and we've gotten casualties across the damn board! Someone get them to cover!" Merrick had yelled out, the sound of heavy gunfire being heard. "God damn it! Sil, wake up! Wake up!" He heard, before it was cut off by whoever 'Jade' was. "Oh, poor crew. Lost body parts, and I think someone's dead. Too bad when this Subspace bomb is activated, all that'll be left of this ship and the Alliance is a really big black hole." 'Jade' replied, cutting off the comms. Of course, this prompted Kayla to get pissed, stomping through the hallway with the M-23 Katana in her hand, as she made her way through the door to the bridge, blasting any Cerberus forces in her way. "Wait, Shepard!" Ashley yelled, her, Kaidan and Kasumi chasing after her. "Be advised, we're reaching the command bridge of the station; any progress on Hackett?" Coats asked. "Cerberus forces are at half-strength on our end!" Anderson had yelled out.
-
"What the hell is going on?!" Ghost yelled, running after Shepard with Serendipity right behind her. The pilots, grunts, Geth and Invictus crew rushed down the hallway towards the bridge, gunning down any Cerberus in front of them
-
"Ghost? Shit, we've got way too much injured here; we can't hold out at the hangar for much longer! They're raining Atlases on us!" He replied, before the comms shorten out. Kayla, on the other hand, was way ahead, up to the bridge of the door, which she proceeded to bioticaly charge over and over again.
-
"STOP!" Noble skidded to a halt, and the large group of people came to a halt. "WE NEED TO HELP THEM!" Noble spun around, sprinting towards the hangar Bay "Fúck, fúck." Serendipity ran after him, with the geth close behind "NO! Hackett is prior-" "NOT OVER OUR FAMILY!" The Militia troops went towards the hangar, but Ghost turned, rushing after Kayla
-
Gia had went with Ghost, considering that she needed to know if Hackett's alive or not. Val and Miranda had went with Serendipity and the rest. --------------------- The group that came down to the hangar would've seen three Atlases, engaging whatever remained of the Alliance forces, Merrick huddled behind a destroyed Kodiak, heavily breathing, while firing his Bastion in handgun mode. Silsia laid in his lap, barely being able to hold her Acolyte shotgun, much less breath for much longer. Cryark was near them, leg blown out from some kind of explosion, as he yelled in pain. Peacekeeper was nearby, defending them with his shield, and Cheryl was busy firing akimbo M-5 Phalanxes to cover them. An M-920 Cain Nuclear Launcher laid nearby for use. ------------------------------ The five (Ghost, Kasumi, Ashley, Kaidan, and Gia) had met up with Kayla, who was banging the door to the bridge furiously, considering she was temporarily out of her biotic energy. "JADE!!" She yelled through the door, looking to be on the verge of a mental breakdown.
-
"ARC GRENADES OUT!" Noble yelled, sliding behind cover as several grenades exploded into electric charges underneath the feet of the Atlases. Serendipity jumped over the cover, rushing directly through the center of the warzone, running towards Cryark. "SERENDIPITY!" The remaining 24 or so Geth troops opened up fire on the Atlases and any other troops that were in the bay ------- "SHEPARD!" Ghost pulled Shephard away from the door and threw her to the ground, pointing his blaster at her head. "CALM DOWN! Alright?!"
-
"What the hell is that turian even doing?!" Miranda had yelled out, rushing after her by putting up a biotic barrier, Val firing as many Incinerates as she could, whilst firing her M-3 Predator toward the enemy. "F***....god damn it!" Cryark yelled, as Merrick yelled into the comms for the Deimos to extract them. -------------------------- Unlike the last time, in which her eyes were brown, this time, they were pure red, mostly out of rage. "She's going to kill us all! I have to kill her!" Kayla yelled out. The bridge door automatically opened, revealing Hackett locked to some sort of contraption, electrocuting him ever so often. Someone else was in the admiral's seat, admiring (?) the view of Arcturus Station and the sun behind it. "You really think Maya is the one behind this, don't you, my sister?" Jade asks, still facing the back of the chair toward them. Hacked Geth went to work on its defenses, a massive grey bomb with an X on the front right in the middle of the bridge. She laughs after this, smiling. "I want what everyone else wants; the evolution of humanity. Even if it means merging humanity and machines into one..." Jade had said, Kayla still seething with rage from being held by Ghost. The four simply looked in shock at what she said.
