Ashley Shepard, Forgotten Hero

Chapter 9

I blink away the sleep in my eyes and I am awake in my bed, I pull out an art set. I found one on Omega before the whole Garrus incident. I sketch a giant blue beam, going from London to the Citadel.

Rubble surrounding it and a whole troop charging at it, sketch the Reaper I drew long ago standing next to it, I draw a tiny girl flying around it on a blue disk flinging blue disks at it.

I hear a knock and I quickly hide it, "Come in." The door opens and I see Miranda standing there.

"Lawson, what do you need?" I try not to glare at her.

"Shepard needs to suit up, you're getting the Quarian." I glare at her.

I wave her out, and I put on the pale blue shirt, light gray pants, my black hat and my black combat boots. I meet Shepard at the shuttle and she looks at me.

"Are you sure you want to where that? The sun is dangerous on this planet, will burn right through you sheilds."

"I have armor, barriers and shields, ill be fine." They stare at me.

"Mordin made this casual but protective armor for me after Horizon, plus I can do this." I push a button on my omni-tool and it changes into N7 armor. I push it again and it changes back, "Ok then, lets go."

We land and I feel the heat of the sun, "Geth Commander, why are they back?"

"Ash they never left, they never left."

"Power can you snipe those bastards?"

I pull out my sniper rifle and line up the shot, right through the head. I take down three before they notice that we're there. "They've spotted us Shepard."

We fight our way to an injured Quarian, "Tali is in there, I have one rocket left."

"Stay down and stay alive, we can handle ourselves." He nods his head.

"Shepard I can charge and take out a lot of them in one thing, and I could get behind that colossus."

"No, we fight as a group." I nod reluctantly and follow her. I send at least ten disks at twenty geth, taking out all of them. "Do the charge, and make sure you stay behind the colossus." I smile as I charge forward.

I destroy at least ten waves of them and I charge up the wall, I equip bullets that will shut down any thing that is part machine.

I aim carefully and I hit the colossus in the perfect spot to get past all its defenses. It explodes and all the geth stop coming, Jack and Shepard help me open the door and I see Tali in there.

Commander is he alive?" Without thinking I answer at the same time as Shepard. "Yes."

"Ashley she was talking to me, not you."

"Actually I'm a commander, Anderson made me tell him and he gave me my original position." She glares at me and Tali and her start talking. I sneak to the consoles and download the data, I still work for Liara.

"Let's go, now!" I shrug my shoulders and follow her, and no one looks at me except Jack. "Why didn't you tell me?"she whispers.

"I didn't think it was important, it's not I'm commanding anything. I'm still going to follow Shepard, she knows this mission and I don't so she leads. I'm not going to do mutiny or argue with her, I'll only argue if I have to." I whisper back.

"Jack I need to speak with you," the commander calls to her. I can't hear what they're saying but I can tell Jack is mad. Finally she hangs her head and I see her nod her head, when we reach the shuttle Jack lifts me up and flings me backwards.
