Your POV:

My world's come crashing down. The shuttle was shot down and crashed near the teleporter. When I woke up, she was being dragged away through it. It's been two hours and nothing has happened. No teams have been able to reach it, and I'm getting impatient. Might as well go look for her myself.

"Y/N, where are you going?"

"It's been too long, I need to find the Admiral. If she dies this war might as well be over, and we'd have lost. I'm not letting us lose, Garrus."

"If you go in there, you're dead. We can win this without her."

"I don't care Garrus, I'm going."

"I'll never understand you humans and throwing yourselves into danger to save someone instead of being tactical about it. You could take multiple teams in, yet you choose to go alone. Just make sure you get back alive so that we can end this."

"I plan on finishing it while I'm there."

"Good luck"

Demi's POV:

What the fuck happened and where the fuck am I? Oh...

So many bodies. All of them with lost limbs. So much blood and gore coating the walls. I still recognize the area, though. The Citadel. The Reapers must be behind this. They took so many lives already, what's a few more. But why the Citadel? What could it possibly have to do with anything?

I should probably try to find anyone who survived. I do hear voices a little further.

"What are you doing here? You should be dead like the rest."

A little boy? "Who are you? What do you mean?"

"You need to die."

"Why? Do you know what killed everyone?"

"We did."

"We?"

"You call us The Reapers. We are just here to make sure everything stays in order."

"By killing us? How does that keep anything in order?"

I feel a sudden, sharp but undeniable pain through my body. "You need to stop asking questions, dear. It will only cause you trouble."

I drop to my knees. "What?"

I hear the teleporter activate in the distance. "You and lover boy should have stopped this years ago. You should have ignored this, just like everyone else. The galaxy is suffering even more just because of the two of you. Admit it, deep down you know you can't stop this. You're just giving all those doomed souls false hope. Causing them more pain than necessary. You killed th-" A second shot rings out. Y/N! He's here!

"I'm here, don't panic. I'm here."

"BEHIND YOU!"

"Wha-" 

"THROW ME YOUR GUN!" I grab it and shoot the husk off him.

"Are you okay?"

"No, I think it got me bad. But you're worse though. That guy shot you."

"I know. Don't have a lot of time."

"I disabled the defences so the ground forces can start the clean-up. We just need to figure out how to shut this place down."

"Agreed. I don't think either of us are getting out of here though. I'm barely staying awake as is."

"Oh no, no, no, we're getting out, just hold on."

"Y/N, don't be dumb. This is it for me. I'm sorry I always avoided you. I never told you exactly how I felt. Now it's too late. I don't get to spend my life with you. Don't do anything stupid, okay?"

Your POV:

"I won't."

"Good... I love you."

"I love you too..."

She's gone.

I guess I have to finish this now.
