Mass Effect 4: the Second War (Mass Effect fanfic)

Chapter 16

Ariana Nettle was the leader of the Dragon's Nest. When the colony was assaulted she immediately started to look for her half-sisters, Alina and Becca Fisher. Alina was in charge of colony security and Becca was in charge of weapons development. Damned reapers. We were given the confirmation about the reapers just minutes ago before they started showing up on our scanners.

"Dalton, get the people out of here." I said using my most commanding voice that I could muster. He whipped out his pistol and ran down the ramp. I kept a gun as well, a gift from Alina. But I prefer not to use it. I recalled it sitting on my desk. I ran to the desk and loaded it with a thermal clip before turning around and seeing something slam into me.

I let an OOOF escape from my lips as I was tackled to the ground. The ugly thing started to reach for my face. It growled as I retaliated and it started using its claws. I immediately started to search for my pistol but failed. My strength was wearing out. Its face started to get closer to mine. Before it could bite,a shot ran out and it suddenly fell limp. I looked over its shoulder to see a turian with a gun pointed at me.

"Don't shoot!" He dropped his stance and removed the body. I got up and he immediately bombarded me with questions. The turian had blue marks and a burnt side of his face. Along with a customized headset.

"There is a family here by the name Vakarian. Where are they? Are they safe? Tell me! Answer the questions!"

"I'm not sure but the evacuation sites are where they probably are."

"Dammit." He tapped into his earpiece.

"Shepherd, hold the line. I'm talking to the leader." He got an answer but it was too muffled.

"Get your people to safety. My squad and the rest of your security force will hold the line." He was about to exit before I stopped him.

"Wait! Before you go, I need you to look for my sisters. One is a weapons development scientist and the other is the security captain. Alina and Becca Fisher."

"Acknowledged." He spoke in a mechanical military voice. He tapped on his earpiece again.

"Shephard, change of plan. We need you to look for 2 human females. One Alina and Becca Fisher. The chief wants those 2 brought to the evac zone." He walked away, leaving me to follow behind him.

Shephard's POV

When I heard my orders, I left Gallion in command. Reaper forces were engaging the marines , spectre squads and the N7 that were given orders. Along with some of miscallaenous groups from different races. A giant force consising of Marines of all species. A krogan gang. Quarian marines on shore leave. Asari commandoes. Even a Turian platoon showed up. This was one of the first battles in the coming reaper war. And it wasn't looking good.

Reaper forces overwhelmed us. But we held strong. Like the waves crashing against rock kind of strong. We would crumbled soon. But we kept it together. I had to look for the leader of this colony and find her sisters. I'll look for the security captain first. I pulled out my pistol. To conserve ammunition. I started to search around for the building until I found it. Triton Security Services. I opened the door only to find several husks and a cannibal in the first room.

They spotted me and ran as a pair fell from my hand. I fired another round and another husk fell. The cannibal was the problem.I got my sights on him but another shooter made it drop. I looked up to find a woman with a sniper rifle in her hand yell to move. I ran through the stairs and past the barricade where 2 Tritan Security guards let me in. They spotted my insignia and led me through the mess of a building to where a woman stood with a sniper rifle in her hands and the look that she can use it.
