The Enemy Revealed
Hey everyone here is the second chapter of my story. It wont have any sex seeing as how am not that good at describing it if you read the last chapter. This chapter is geared more toward some violence and story.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Commander Shepard, Operative Lawson would like you to return to the Normandy as soon as possible. THere seems to be something distressing her." EDI's voice rang over his com as Commander Shepard finished drying off from his shower.
"Understood EDI I will also be bringing Lieutenant Williams onboard with me." Commander Shepard glanced at Ashley who was rooting through her drawers looking for clean underwear.
"Understood, Commander."
Shepard turned to face Ashley. "Well it seems I will have a crew meeting once we get back but I will give you the tour afterwards." Ashley smiled and nodded that that was fine. "Alright, whenever you are ready; we can go."
*****************************************************************************************
"We are screwed Jacob. No one has ever survived THEM." Miranda frantic now pacing her office as Jacob leaned against the wall but holding himself a little uneasily.
"It will be okay, they never went against anyone like Shepard. I am sure we will be more than they can handle." Jacob was searching for a silver lining but when Miranda became more frantic he began to feel even more uneasy.
"YOu don't know the half of it. They were the precursors of the Lazarus Project. Everything that went into Shepard went into them and them some. They could each take over a fleet on their own with little effort." Miranda now visibly scared. "Dammit! where is Shepard!"
The rest of the crew had putentered the room now and most more a little unerved by how Miranda was talking to Jacob. Everyone except Jack, she leaned over toward Mordin and slightled, "I wonder what has the cheerleader all worried."
Mordin taking Jack's jibe at face value, began rambling off on several tangents, before the doors opened again. Shepard and Ashley entered the room looking around curiously at everyone gather, then turned to Miranda. "What is going on here?"
"We are in real trouble here Shepard. I just receivied word from an trusted contact within Cerberus that the Illusive Man has sent the Fangs after us." At these words even Jack went wide-eyed and turned a little pale.
"Wait THE Fangs? The same fangs that destroyed destroyed the Hades Gate station in the Argos Rho sector?" Jack actually sounded frightend as she said it.
Shepard noticing this reaction and the reactions these word had in the rest of his crew, turned to Miranda. "Who are the Fangs?"
"THe Fangs are an elite groups of soldiers, where ever they are deployed thee is never of trace left that they or anyoe else was there at all. As Jack brought up, they were able to destroy the Hades Gate Station, and I mean destroy there wasn't even a trace of scrap metal left when they were done. And the Hades Gate was a station roughly the size of Omega."
"Ok so they are dangerous...it isn't like we haven't seen this before. How many are there 30? 40?"
"Three." Shepard choked. "There are only ever three fangs at one time." Miranda spoke with a sort of panic that was very uncharacteristic of her.
"Three really. And do we know who these men are?" Shepard now interested and wanting to more. He didn't understand why but know that there were three indivduals out in therin the galaxy that sounded this strong made him feel jittery to meet and fight there individuals.
"No. They are know only by their aliases Thunder, Blood, and Steel Fangs. Each of them are trained killers with the most advanced tech and genetic modifications in the galaxy to optimize their abilities. Infact we took bits and pieces of the technology used in their modification to bring you back to life in Project Lazarus." Miranda looking guilty and even outright scared turned to dropped her eyes as she cold not continue speaking.
Jacob seeing how Miranda could not continue to speak. "Rumored to be the Illusive Man's own sons, each is as cunning and ruthless of the Illusive Man himself."
"Ok, but what are their abilities? their strengths? their weaknesses?" Shepard sounding a little frustrated by his crew's fear of these individuals.
****************************************************************************************
Aria T'loak was staring directly into a the business-end of a heavy pistol. Moklin and the rest of her body guards lay in pools of their own blood. Afterlife has long since cleared out after the fighting started.
"Where is Commander Shepard?" Steel's voice cold and quiet. "Where is the Normandy? Tell me and I will make it quick."
"I am not telling you shit." She spat up into Steel's face. Not even flinching Steel motion to Blood. Patriarch was dragged into Aria's view. Severally injury gasping for air, Patriarch collapsed to his knees when he was released.
"Tell me, or they will take it in turns to rip out the Krogan's hearts." Steel had no emotion has he gave his threat, but Aria couldn't help but show the fear on her face.
"Fine they are currently on the Citadel. Happy now leave!"
Steel smiled, and signaled the others. Simultaneously Blood and Thunder punch into Patriarch's chest. Each blow penetrating through the krogan tough hide. Thunder and Blood pulled back and in their hands was one of the old krogans still beating hearts.
"You bastards, I told you where they are. why..." Aria stammered the pain of her loss was proving too much for her. Aria Stared pleadingly into his steely-green eyes searching for anything in those pitiless eyes.
"Just one final lesson before you die." Steel pulled the trigger and Aria collapsed in a heap, motinless on the floor. "We're going to the Citadel, move out."
****************************************************************************************
Shepard looked from Miranda to Jacob. "Well is anyone going to answer me?"
"Each one is a specialist. The Thunder Fang is an infiltration and long range expert. His tactically cloak is powerful allowing him to remain undetected in enemy territory for days;on top of that he is leathally accurate with his sniper rifle at 10.000 meters. The Blood Fang is a close combat and medical specialist. He can surgically remove an enemies limbs with his shotgun or punch a whole clean throught the armor of a dreadnaught class cruizer with his biotics. Finally, the Steel Fang is a universal soldier. Enhanced physical and cognitive abilities. He was rumor to have killed an entire krogan warband with a predator pistol and a combat knife. Steel by far is the most dangerous of the three but the other two are in no way push overs themselves." Jacob finished.
Shepardnow understood the full gravity of the situation. It wasn't like facing Saren or the Collectors. It was mush worse like facing a full reaper in hand-to-hand combat.
"Ok We are leaving if they are after us then we can't stay in any one place for long." SHepard turned to leave and saw Ashley standing by the door, her face look scared and nervous. "Ashley, looks like that tour will have to be put on hold. Could you please get contact Anderson? We have some serious matters to deal with."
"Sure thing Commander."
****************************************************************************************
Back at Omega. Aria's lifeless body stirred. "What the hell...?" She felt her chest where she was supposedly shot. "A concussive round, bruising and a broken rib or two. Why didn't he kill me when he killed my..." Then it dawned on her the the one called Steel Fang never harmed any of her bodyguards or killed Patriarch. It was the other two and when he finally made a move he shot an ineffective round.
"I don't know what is going on but I need to contact Shepard."
****************************************************************************************
"We have set course for the mass relay, brother. ETA four hours." Thunder's voice crackled of the intercom.
"Good...soon we will meet face-to-face after all this time." Steel set a picture frame down he was holding back down on his desk and turned his gaze out the window. The picture Steel Fang was just staring at caught the light of his nearby terminal revealing a younger Miranda and a younger Steel embracing and smiling at the camera
****************************************************************************************
SO ends chapter 2. The next xhapter will probably have some sex in it. And much more violence.
