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

Chapter 5

"No response Lieutenant.Sir what do we do?!!" A panicky Carson cried out

"Dawson!"

"Got it!" He yelled triumphantly before the doors exploded.

I fell flat on the ground.Every muscle hurt.The armor protected me but gave me a few nasty bruises. I saw my helmet destroyed on the ground next to me.

I tried to get on top of my feet but I felt the cool,metal barrel of a gun pressed against my forehead.And the shooter in front of me.

"Stay down." He said.Fuck.

I brought my hands to my head.Then I kicked his foot off the ground bringing him slamming on the ground. A very brief and violent fight happened on the floor and ended when i took the knife and plunged it to his forehead.

The body collapses and I exhale a large amount of breath.That was close.

I sit down on the floor and catch my breath.

A few seconds later........

I found Shutler dead 30 feet away from the door. I grab his dogtags and search for the others.

Both Carsons were found injured near the entrance to the command center.They're injuries were nothing medi-gel could handle.

Jenkin.I found him unharmed.The only missing member is Dawson.

"Everybody spread out and look for Dawson." I commanded.

After a couple minutes Jenkin found him.

"Lieutenant! I found him. It doesn't look good."

I ran over to him.

Dawson was under rubble.Hair streaked with gray.Blood flowing down one side of his face.I couldn't see his arms but his legs were blown up under his knees.

"Liu-liutenant." He rasped.

"Dawson,your gonna be fine.Dawson.Your gonna be fine." I said

"Ace!Can medi-gel fix this?" I knew the answer already.

"We can stop the flow of blood and infection but I don't know.We gotta get him to the nearest bay." Ace confirmed already what we know.

"Lieutenant, just give thi-is message to my brother and re-rents.I'm sor-." He didn't finish his sentence.

I grabbed his dogtags.

"Grab whatever gear that's scavengable."

"What about his body and message?"

I dug his arm out and opened his omni-tool.

"This soldier deserves more than this.We need to keep moving." Nobody disaggreed.

With whatever gear we could scrounge we entered the control room.

Most of the room was fried.The tools were melted into piles of metal.I assumed there were bodies because there were charred remains all around the room.

"Room clear." Jenkin said.

"Clear?This place is bloody empty." Brent Carson said.

"Hey Brent,I thought you were from Holland?" Ace said

"Raised in Holland.Lived in England after graduation."

"Sir I don't think we'll find anything here.We got to give the all clear signal." Jenkin said

"Lets move people!The whole battalion is counting on us."
