Aurora Kom Skaikru {2}//DISCONTINUED

Welcome to Bardo

Aurora

"Here comes the retrieval team. Took them long enough" a woman says

We teleported to Bardo while still invincible so people wouldn't be able to see us at first.

There were three people waiting for the retrieval team and when they noticed that they couldn't see us, they tried putting helmets on but Echo stabbed them.

"Echo, what the hell are you doing?" Gabriel scolds as we take our helmets off

"It wasn't me."

"Without Orlando, we don't need to take unnecessary risks." Hope reasons

"Leaving Orlando was an unnecessary risk." Gabriel argues

"Rora, take the conductor. Focuse we're on the clock." Echo reminds as we drag the bodies into a closet

"Clock? We drilled for 5 years. We have 30 minuets to get to cell block, get our people, and get back here before shift change. With Orlando opening the doors, the best we ever did was 28 minutes." Gabriel points out

"Then I guess we better hurry." I grumble, helping Echo stuff a body into the closet

"Look. We all know this can't be done without an inside man." Gabriel says as we pick up our helmets

"We have an inside man." Echo turns to Hope

"What if he's not in M-cap?" Hope furrows her brows

"What if whose not in M-cap?" Gabriel questions

"The man who helped before. Levitt." Hope sighs as we put our helmets on

"M-cap's on this level. We won't loose much time." Echo informs as we walk out the door

"28 minutes left." Gabriel worries

"We can all see that, Gabriel." I reassure

"Plenty of time. This is M-cap." Hope introduces

Before we could enter M-cap, a woman along with many other disciples stopped us in our tracks

"You 3, fall in. We're late."

Hesitantly, we do as she told and follow the other disciples to wherever they're going.

We arrive at a different door and the woman opens it. It looks like it's the woods but... I can tell it's just different.

"Helmets off." She orders

The disciples instantly take theirs off while we slowly take ours off.

"For all mankind." A man chants from outside

"That's Anders." Hope informs as we walk outside

"Let's take a moment to acknowledge our newest class of level 9s. You've each demonstrated impressive devotion to the Shepard..." Anders congratulated

I drown out what he's saying as the 4 of us make our way to the front.

"We know that by the time the Shepherd delivered us with the stone that the Bardoans were gone extinct. Why is that?" Anders asks

"Because they didn't have the Shepard!" A woman yells from the crowd earning some laughs

"No they didn't, did they?"

"He said the stone delivered them." Gabriel points out

"So?" Echo shrugs

"So they weren't eligius. There was a stone on Earth."

"...but in the light of the Shepard, we will not loose."

"For all mankind!"

"That means Orlando didn't tell us everything. We should go." Echo sighs

"Where's Hope?" I panic

I spot Hope stalking towards Anders and quickly stop her.

"Hope we're on a mission. Are out out of your mind? I know how you feel, but what do you say this time we don't fail?" I frown looking at her as a tear falls from her cheek

"For all mankind!" Anders cheers

We finally made it to M-cap only to see Octavia strapped on a table, repeating "I am not afraid"

"Tavia?" I worry

"Levitt?" Echo calls out

"It's not him. Hey. Aunty O." Hope slightly shakes Octavia

"Her brother, where is he? Show me, or I take an eye." Echo threatens, holding a knife up to his eye

I hold on to Octavia's hand while Hope tries to wake her out of her trance

We watch in horror as the man replays a memory of Bellamy almost going back to Sanctum only to be blown up by a disciple.

Gabriel takes off Octavia's restraints and she was finally back to her somewhat normals self.

Hope and Gabriel helped her up and Echo turned to the disciple with tears in her eyes

"That can't be real. Is that real?!" She shouts

Suddenly an alarm blares.

"Times up. They know we're here. Echo, I'm sorry about Bellamy, but we need to take him as a hostage-"

Ignoring Gabriel, Echo proceeded to land multiple punches to the man's face then plunge some weird pointy thing into his heart that they used on Octavia to dig through her head.

"We'll never find my mother." Hope frowns

Sorry for the short chapter!
