"WATCH THE FLANKS!" Corpses of several Militia members floated through the air of the cargo bay, and Noble cut the ropes of the grappling hooks, causing the corpses to wash out into space
A grenade struck the Atlas and stuck onto it's thigh, sending an explosion rippling through the mech.
English
-
The Atlas lost ya right leg, as it was sucked into space, along with any remaining Cerberus soldiers. Finally, Ashley, Kaidan, and Val jumped out of the ship, the door to the main part of the ship opening up, allowing everyone to enter through the space to a life supported area.
-
The Militia troops, Geth and Invictus Members moved through the doorway, and it closed behind them. As gravity returned to the hallway, a number of men fell to the grou and groaned, trying to adjust
-
This could be said of the Alliance members, minus Kayla and Riley, who were both laughing. "I seriously want to do that again!" Riley had yelled out, standing up with ease. "Hey; that's the perks of being an N7." Kayla had said, the other people getting up. Around them were the corpses of Alliance officers and Cerberus soldiers.
-
"Bloody hell..." One of the Militia Riflemen said, getting to his feet and looking down the hallway. Ghost, Noble and Serendipity started down the hallway, being followed by the Geth, other Invictus Members and a few Miltia troops, though it was clear that some of them were shaken
-
"Who...who would exactly do this?" Ashley was heard saying at the back of the group, a hint of either anger or sadness within her voice. "I swear, these Cerberus bastards are getting their parts missing when I'm done with them." Kayla had replied, furious at the entire thing. Everyone else seemed shaken enough to the point where they couldn't be able to talk. A few datapads laid nearby, containing various credits and what-not. However, not all was grim. At the end of the hallway, a woman around the age of 30 was sitting, having her back near a hackable door. She was barely breathing, an M-6 Carnifex in her hand. A dead Alliance soldier laid on op of her, blood coating her suit and face. A few extra cuts were evident on he face.
-
Noble knelt down besides the woman, investigating whether the woman was Alliance or Cerberus
-
She was Alliance; it was evident by the uniform she was wearing, similar to Admiral Hackett. She held her gun up to Noble, most likely thinking he was Cerberus. Obviously, the shaking of the gun implicated fear.
-
"Not the time for that when you're Dying and all." Ghost said as he knelt down as well, lowering the barrel of the gun to the point at the ground. Serendipity stood over the injured woman, applying medi gel wherever she could
-
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.
