So sorry about delaying another chapter. I was in a hurry to get it finished before I left for Christmas and I had a few problems with my pc.
Anyway, it's here now.
Hope you enjoy. I'm definitely proud that the outcome of Thessia in this is better than in the game.
Chapter 27
Liberation of Thessia
Austin walked into the office that had once belonged to Udina where Tevos had told him to meet her. There were several C-sec officers with her.
"I want all remaining files secured and marked for Tentron clearance only." Said the Asari. "Major Shepard. Thank you for coming."
"Did you find something?" Austin asked.
"The Council has ordered a full review into Donnel Udina's activities. We're still piecing together his coup attempt. But that isn't why I asked you here. The situation is growing urgent for my people. I find myself in the position of asking for your help." Said Tevos.
She indicated over to the far side of the room so that they were out of earshot fo the C-sec officers.
"The Reapers are concentrating heavily on Thessia. We won't last much longer against them."
"You're species were the ones that chose not to attend the summit and have refused to join the resistance. What did you expect would happen?" said Austin.
"I realise that now, Major. That is why I am willing to make a deal with you here." Said Tevos. "If you and your Helldivers can help at least push back the Reapers on Thessia, then the Asari will join the resistance, and I will do all I can to further add support."
There was a long silence as Tevos waited for the Major to answer, her beating hard in her chest as she hoped he would help. If he didn't…
"We have a small fleet we can spare." Austin finally said. "I'll see what I can do."
"One more thing, Major. I know it may not be much, but I must ask that defending the temple of Athame take priority. There are valuable ancestral artefacts there. It would be devastating if they were lost." Said Tevos. "Also… I don't' know if it will help at all, but some of those artefacts contain very ancient knowledge. If there is any chance they could help you find the last component of the Crucible…"
"I understand. I'll see to that myself." Said Austin.
"Thank you, Major. Rest assured, I will honour my promise." Said Tevos gratefully.
"For the sake of your people, I hope you do. The Resistance won't help if you don't help in return." Said Austin.
"Goddess be with you."
The Fleet went ahead first while the Normandy brought up the rear.
"The Councillor wasn't kidding. There's Reaper forces everywhere." Said Zartrack.
"Give the fleet the order to attack. We have to see to a matter down on the planet. The Councillor wishes for us to protect the temple of Athame, there's also the small possibility there may be something in there that could help us finding the Catalyst." Said Austin.
"Understood. I will keep you updated on the fleet's progress. Good luck down there, Shepard." Said Zartrack.
"Same to you, General."
As Austin turned to head for the cargo hold, Alaara and Liara suddenly rushed in.
"Austin, that's our home down there! We have to go!" said Liara.
"I was gonna bring you along anyway, love. Thessia's just as much my home as it is yours." Said Austin.
Both Alaara and Liara were a lot quieter than usual. Austin fully understood why though. He could feel Liara's sorrow after all.
He didn't let it overcome him though. He and Liara had a home here and he was damn well going to retake Thessia if he had to use the entire Helldiver fleet. Hopefully that wouldn't' be necessary though.
"Why aren't we joining the main battle?" Javik asked, having to kneel down so that he didn't bang his head by sitting in a chair.
Although Dell had managed to do some work that reversed some of the pods modifications, which had reduced Javik's tall height by a few centimetres, he still towered over the Helldivers.
"The Asari have asked that the temple of Athame be protected. That's where we're going." Austin explained.
"The Temple of Athame?" Liara asked in surprise.
"Know anything about it?" Austin asked.
"It holds many artefacts that are a huge part of our ancestry. My mother brought me here when I was just a child." Said Liara. "I can understand why my people would want it intact, but still…"
"Councillor Tevos also thinks it's possible there could be something in there that might help us discover the Catalyst. That's an opportunity we can't afford to waste." Said Austin. "We'll do what we can to help you people, Liara. I promise, and we will drive the Reapers from this world, one way or another."
The Hellhound soon set down and everyone stepped out. Surprisingly, Thessia didn't look too bad. It looked like the Asari had certainly been able to hold the Reaper's back so far, but now their defences were starting to fail. The fleet's arrival was opportune.
Nearby, an Asari squad were engaging husk forces as they came across a long bridge. The group quickly joined the fray and soon pushed the attackers back.
"I want that gunship up and running!" said the Captain. "Plug that hole!"
She then turned to Austin.
"Major Shepard, I'm lieutenant Kurin. We've been told to expect you. My orders are to hold this grid at all costs." She said.
Another explosion rocked the area and the Asari maintain the biotic barrier looked just about ready to faint.
"Shore up the barrier!" Kurin yelled.
"But our perimeter's collapsing and I'm getting my people out of here." she continued to Austin.
"I agree. You'll be overrun if you don't pull out now." Said Austin.
"Austin, we won't make it to the temple without their help." Liara argued.
"Yes we will, Liara. Besides, I think we can get some people to cover for them." Said Austin. He then activated his comm. "This is Shepard, I need gunship covering fire on my location."
"Roger that, major. Two gunships heading your way."
"We've got an Asari squad pulling out. Cover their escape." Austin added.
"Thank you, Major. I'm glad you understand." Said Kurin.
"All to well. Get your people somewhere safe." Said Austin.
"If I may ask, why are you not with the main battle?" Kurin asked as her team got into the gunship.
"We've been tasked with defending the temple of Athame. There may also be something in there that could possibly be what we need to defeat the Reapers." Alaara explained.
"Then I wish you luck, but we're not staying to see it." Said Kurin.
She then joined her team and the gunship gently lifted off.
"They could've helped us, Shepard." Said Liara.
"If they'd stayed, they would've been killed. And anyway, here comes backup."
Sure enough, two gunship's soon came into view. They covered the Asari squad's escape first and then turned their attention to the Husks on the bridge ahead. The constant gunfire made quick work of the creatures.
"Path ahead is clear along your route, Major." Said one of the pilots.
"Thanks for the help. Return to the main battle." Said Austin.
"Yes sir."
The gunships turned around and headed back to the main battle. The fleet had already begun engaging the Reapers and it was quickly turning into a vicious battle. Austin could only hope it was enough to at least re-secure Thessia. It would be far too depressing to live with if Thessia fell.
There were an awful lot of Husks to fight through, but regardless, the team carved their way through. Pretty soon, they were nearing their desired destination. A nearby Reaper was exchanging fire with a Helldiver cruiser.
"Target locked. Firing!"
A charged beam from the cruiser fired and hit the Reaper so hard that it lost it's balance and fell.
"Watch out!" Javik yelled.
Everyone quickly ran as fast they could just as the Reaper came down hard, the shock of the impact causing the whole ground to shake and dust to be thrown up.
"Well, at least the fleet's doing well." Alaara panted, the team just managing to avoid being crushed by the Reaper that was now being bombarded by several Helldiver bombers, unable fire back having fallen on it's front.
"All this destruction… It's…" said Liara, trying to hodl back her despair.
"Your homeworld's not falling, Liara. The Reapers will not win. I won't let them!" said Austin.
Finally, they made it to the temple. So far, there was no sign of any husks.
The door slowly opened and everyone made their way inside, remaing on guard just in case.
"Hmmm, interesting. Some of this stuff must be hundreds of years old." Said Alaara.
"Thousands, more likely." Said Austin.
Many different artefacts adorned the large room. At the far end was a alrge statue of an Asari dressed in along dress.
The team suddenly noticed two Asari lying at the base fo the statue. They were both dead, blood trickling from their necks.
"What happened to their throats?" Alaara asked.
"They've been slit. The Reapers didn't do this." Said Liara examining the wounds.
"We're going to have to figure this out on our own." Said Javik.
"Who's that supposed to be?" Austin asked, looking up at the statue.
"It's Athame. Her image becomes more like ours over time." Liara explained.
As Liara spoke, Austin started to feel something. He could feel a presence in this room, and it wasn't Liara. Something about ti was very familiar.
"Wait a minute…" he thought.
He reached his hand out slowly and took a few steps forward. Now the presence felt even stronger and he finally remembered when he'd last felt this before.
"There's a Prothean beacon here." He said, turning back to the others.
"What? You're sure?" said Liara in surprise.
"It's not something I'd forget." Said Austin.
"He's right. I feel it too." Said Javik. "But… that's not possible."
"What do you mean?" Austin asked.
"Yes. I find it odd that you would be surprised to find a beacon here, especially if it's hidden. There's no way my people would've kept this a secret if they'd known about it!" said Liara defensively.
"I'm not saying they did, Liara. In fact, I think I know why we both didn't know about this." Said Javik.
"You were in charge of placing the beacons. How could you not know?!" Liara objected.
"If you'll let me explain." Said Javik. "Out of the many teams I sent to place beacons all over the galaxy, one was sent here to the planet that would one day be populated you. But the Reapers attacked and the team never returned. I had always assumed the beacon as never placed or activated. Seems I was wrong."
"But how has it stayed hidden?" said Liara. "Where is it anyway?"
"I'm not sure yet. I can only feel it's presence." Austin replied.
"The few records I can access talk about tapping into Prothean data steams, reconstructing matrices… none of which I see here." Said Liara as she activated her omni tool.
"I do." Said Javik.
The Prothean walked right up close to the statue and the base started to become surrounded by red energy. As soon as Javik touched it, the statue started to crack and it suddenly feel apart revealing, sure enough revealing a real Prothean beacon.
"The statue?" Alaara asked in surprise.
"I guessed as much. Over the thousands of years, rock must've collected around it. The rock then later just happened to be forged into your statue. It's knowledge then slowly came to your minds as your prayed to it." Said Javik
"Makes sense. Just enough that it proves my people wouldn't hide this." Said Liara.
"Right, let's see if I still remember how to work these things." Said Javik as he worked on accessing the beacon's controls.
"We need to hurry. This place isn't' going to…" said Liara, suddenly cut off as the temple shook violently."…last very long."
The interface then suddenly flashed and a hovering VI suddenly appeared.
"Good. The VI still works." Said Javik.
"Obtaining chronological marker. Hold…" said the VI. "Timescale established. Post Prothean cycle confirmed. Reaper presence detected. This galactic cycle has already reached it's extinction terminus. Systems shutting down!"
"Override command! Authorization, Javik. Lead Prothean scientist." Said Javik quickly.
"Identity confirmed." Said the VI, now transforming into it's true Prothean form.
"We need answers!" said Austin.
"To what question?" the VI asked back.
"The Catalyst. We need to know what it is to finish the Crucible." Austin replied.
"Clearance required."
"They have my authorization." Said Javik.
"I am called Vendetta, an advanced virtual construct of Professor Javik, overseer of the project you refer to as "Crucible." Said the VI. "It is too late, Professor. This cycle's time is ending as well."
"There's still hope for this cycle, Vendetta. We need to know what the Catalyst is. I will not allow another cycle to fall was we did." Said Javik, quite surprisingly forceful.
"Tell us what the Catalyst is." Austin said again.
"If you wish to continue fighting, I will not hinder you, though I deem your odds of success remote." said Vendetta.
"Whatever. Just answer the damn question already!" said Alaara.
Vendetta suddenly whirled round in alert.
"Indoctrinated presence detected. Activating security protocols."
Vendetta vanished revealing who it was that had startled it.
"You…"
There in front of them was Kai Leng.
"What do you want?!" said Austin bitterly as he readied to draw his sword.
"Your attention." Leng simply replied.
A large projection Skarlack suddenly appeared in front of the assassin. The Takaal General gave an evil smile at the team.
"Hello, Shepard. So, you're finally about figure out what the Catalyst is. Such a shame though that all your valiant efforts are in the end for not." He said.
"Go to hell, Skarlack! We've come too far to let you stand in the way now!" said Austin.
"Your being such a fool, Shepard." Said Skarlack, shaking his head. "You really think you'll defeat the Reapers? Even if you somehow do, you'll still have to deal with em and my army."
"Well, I don't know of you noticed, but I have an army too, and it's ready to face you when the time comes." Said Austin.
"If you'd only accept my offer, Shepard. This war could end right now if you would only join us. Think about it. Are you really going to let more and more die each day just because you're too afraid to let go of your organic flesh?"
"You can try all you want, Skarlack. You're not going to change my mind, and nor are the Reapers going to corrupt me." Said Austin.
"I confess myself disappointed, Shepard. You were the one cycle that had proven themselves. Yet they have a foolish leader." Said Skarlack, his statement aimed directly at Austin.
"Is that supposed to make me angry? I'm past that." Said Austin.
"Oh really? Then what if I told you that even as we speak, the Reapers already stand on the brink of victory on Thessia, about to eliminate the Asari for all time?!" said Skarlack.
"I'd say you're insane."
"Defiant even to the end. This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets and immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren't you?"
"Indeed. And this conversation is over."
"Have it your way, you fool." Said Skarlack, turning to face Kai Leng. "Leng, kill them all and bring me that Prothean VI."
"With pleasure." Said Leng.
The hologram vanished and Leng almost immediately. He attacked with a biotic charge so hard he knocked both Alaara and Javik off their feet.
Both Austin and Liara quickly drew their sword and blocked Leng's attack as he drew two swords at once.
"I've long looked forward to proving I'm the better one. Soon he'll look on you as inferior." Leng growled.
"Look who's talking. I've lasted this long and I haven't had to get upgrades. Compensating for something? Your failures perhaps?" Austin retorted.
"Shut up!"
Leng pushed hard and Austin and Liara readied for the next attack. Leng attacked first and they both parried his attacks. Somehow his implants were allowing him to attack either side without totally having to focus on them.
Still, the union did help, especially with how fast viciously Leng was attacking.
"Well, I notice you got quite a temper." Said Austin mockingly as he managed to dodge many of Leng's attacks.
Leng only became more frustrated with this and increased the ferocity and speed. Still either Austin or Liara would counter an attack. One swipe from Excalibur even made a scratch on Leng's armour.
"Have you ever done this before?" said Austin, still trying to mock Leng in hopes it would wind him up and cause him to make a mistake.
Leng made a double lunge with both his swords. Austin dodged in-between however and managed a punch to the face.
"Oh come on. You call that an attack?!"
Leng simply glared at Austin and Liara as he recovered from the punch.
"Not like you to taunt an opponent, Austin." Said Liara telepathically.
"I've just about had enough with this guy, so what the hell." Austin replied.
The three opponents once again charged one another, their blades scraping the ground.
Austin and Liara still stuck together for this one but Leng was able to parry both sides with two swords. It was almost like they were fighting Zartrack.
Something that did at least work to their advantage though was that Leng seemed to rely more on his martial arts skills rather than his sword skills. It didn't take much to see that Leng was resorting to this tactic since he knew his odds weren't good against two sword fighters who could fight so well together that they were almost unmatched.
Leng backed away from a swipe from Austin as she swung at the same time. The Helldiver ducked to avoid it as Liara tempted a lunge. She mistimed her attack however and Leng was able to deliver a swift kick to her helmet, knocking her away from the fight temporarily.
Austin pressed the attack so that Liara had enough time to recover.
"Funny thing about anger. It'll consume you, soon enough." Said Austin as Leng turned the tables and began attacking viciously, his anger felt in every strike. "And you lose sight of everything."
Austin dodged under Leng's strike as he swung with both sword, getting right down onto his knees. Liara then suddenly used Austin as a stepping stone and leapt over him. Leng was only just able to parry her strike in time as Austin rejoined the fray.
Using a strike from his biotics, the Cerberus assassin forced the two Helldivers back. They took this moment to once again get their breath back.
Leng simply glared at them both, his teeth gritted in anger and hatred.
This time he charged while Austin and Liara stood their ground. The Cerberus assassin jumped as he struck. Both Helldivers quickly used their union to bring their swords together to block Leng's attack and used their strength push him back.
A flurry of steel was all over the place as the two Helldivers fought Kai Leng. Soon, he ended up between the two and they engaged him in a blade lock. For a moment, it looked as though Leng's defence was going to be overloaded. But the Cerberus assassin suddenly made a rather surprising move.
He pushed himself out fo the blade lock, causing Austin and Liar ato bang into one another. The Cerberus assassin's clawed foot then grabbed Austin's head and smashed it into Liara gain knocking them both to the ground and causing Austin to land far too hard on Liara's arm so hard it popped out of place.
"My arm!" she yelled.
Just as Leng readied to finish them off, a large body suddenly charged into him and knocked him back.
"You'll pay for that, you primitive scum!" said Javik.
The Prothean swung at Leng, using his gun as a club. The assassin however ducked under the attack and suddenly severed the gun in two completely with his swords.
The Prothean only noticed this too late as Leng then tripped him up and prepared to deliver the finishing blow.
Just before the swords could hit Javik however, they suddenly clanged hard against something.
Leng was left very confused by this for a few seconds before there was the familiar sound of a cloak deactivating and a most familiar but unexpected figure appeared with a Katana in her right hand, and a fan in the other.
"You!" Leng growled.
"Hello, Cousin." Said Xun bitterly.
What followed was almost a blur of silver as Leng duelled with Xun. With this fight, the speed was hard to keep track of.
Xun however was unprepared fro Leng's ferocity, and she was soon overpowered. The Cerberus assassin stood over Austin, ready to deliver the final blow.
"You should've joined Cerberus when you had the chance." He said.
"Screw you!" said Austin.
Just as Leng was about to strike however, he was suddenly distracted when the gunship he'd arrived in was suddenly pulled out of the sky and crashed in an explosive heap. From out of the fire stepped an Asari looking figure, her biotics pulsing with power.
"Get away from my daughter!" she said.
Leng was completely distracted as he struggled to block the constant biotic attacks from the Asari figure. Both Austin and Xun seized the chance and slashed Leng from behind with their swords. The Cerberus assassin was caught off guard by this and he only managed a pained gasp before he fell to the floor.
"You alright?" Austin asked as he helped his wife up.
"Ow! I think I've dislocated it." Liara groaned.
"Okay, brace yourself. This is gonna hurt." Said Austin as he readied to put the arm back into place. "3… 2… 1…"
There was a light pop as Austin pushed the arm back into position and Liara gave a pained groan. After a few seconds though, she took a few deep breaths and moved her arm around, fully functionality now restored to it.
"That's better." She said.
"Javik, re-access the VI." Said Austin.
"On it."
Xun continued to look at Leng's body, almost with a look of disgust.
"He was your cousin?" Austin asked, still rather surprised at what he'd heard
"He stopped being my cousin a long time ago. Even as a child he was always a heartless hùn zhàng." Said Xun, showing no remorse or sorrow.
"Thanks for the help, Dad." Said Liara.
As the smoke cleared however, it revealed a most unexpected face.
"Liara, it's me."
"Mother?!"
Sure enough, there in front of them, as clear as they saw each other, was none other that Matriarch Benezia, Liara's mother and the bondmate of Matriarch Aethyta.
"Benezia?! But that's impossible!" said Austin, just as surprised.
"This no trick, Liara. I promise it's me." Said Benezia as she walked up to her daughter.
"Liara, wait! She might be indoctrinated!" said Alaara.
"She's not." Said Javik, still working on the VI's controls.
"How can you tell?" Austin asked.
"I can sense if someone is indoctrinated. Whatever presence was originally controlling her is no longer present." Said Javik
"Of course. Sovereign's dead." Said Austin.
"I no longer feel it's presence in my head." Said Benezia.
"But how are you still alive, Mother? I shot you. You died five years ago on Noveria." Said Liara, still dumbfounded as to how the Matriarch was still alive after she had been shot and had died that day.
"Five years? It's been that long?" Benezia asked in surprise.
"I'm afraid so." Liara replied.
"I think I know how she's alive." Said Austin. "Liara, when you shot her, she didn't actually die. My scans show she's only recently woken up from a coma. She must've gone into it from her wound. So deep, we thought she was dead."
"But still, how's the wound healed?"
"The coffin!"
"What?"
"Don't you remember? We put her in a stasis pod to keep her preserved until the funeral and we left her like that. Those pods are designed to slowly heal injuries if the person inside is still alive. It must've healed her." Said Austin.
"Only she was unable to wake up due to the stasis." Liara finished.
"How did you actually get out?" Alaara asked.
"The Reaper attack must've ruptured the pod and the stasis ended. I spotted you as you were heading to the temple. At the time, I didn't know it was you until I heard your voices when you were fighting Leng."
"Shepard, I've almost got it." Said Javik.
Austin walked up to the beacon beside Javik while Liara literally flung herself into Benzia's arms and mother and daughter hugged one another.
In the process of this however, everyone failed to notice Kai Leng slowly getting back up, struggling weakly against his injuries.
He limped up to Austin and raised his blades. Just at the very last moment however, Liara suddenly noticed.
"Austin!"
The Helldiver almost immediately whirled round and drew his sword. Excalibur hit Leng's blades so hard that they completely shattered. At the same time, Austin activated his omni blade and plunged it into Leng's chest. He then followed this by running the Cerberus assassin right through with Excalibur.
"Say hello to the Illusive Man for me, you son of a bitch!" said Austin.
Leng could only groan in extreme pain before the life finally lfet him and he became completely motionless. Without any hesitation, Austin kicked Leng off his blades and let him plummet into the abyss below.
"Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say." Said Javik.
At that moment, the VI finally came back.
"Online."
"Vendetta, tell us what the catalyst is." Said Javik, getting right to the point.
"Unknown." Vendetta replied.
"What?!"
"No knowledge of the Catalyst's true nature was ever found by any Protheans. No further information is available." Vendetta explained.
"No. No, that can't be true! That's not fair!" said Austin, banging his fist so hard that he created a dent.
"No further information exists. I am sorry." Said Vendetta.
"All of this, just for it to end in flames." Said Austin, the devastation unmistakable in his voice.
"Maybe not completely. Look." Said Javik.
Everyone looked out of the temple's entrance. Many more Reapers had fallen and many others were retreating from the Helldiver fleet. The battle had been won.
"Reaper forces are retreating. Thessia is secure."
"At least your home is safe." Said Austin. Admittedly, this was something to rejoice over, even if they were no closer to stopping the Reapers completely.
"I can't believe that. The Protheans never found it out either?" Zartrack asked.
"It would seem that way. As of now, we've got nothing left to go on." Said Austin.
"This won't go down well with the others." said Zartrack, just as disappointed as his student. "At least Thessia is secured. This wasn't a total loss."
"But still, we came so close… only to discover the Protheans were just as clueless as us." Austin sighed.
"I know how you must feel, Shepard. But this isn't the time to give up. We may have won Thessia back, but the Reapers are still out there." Said Zartrack.
"You're right. And that's why we're not going to give up. I refuse to believe that the Protheans didn't know anything, there has to be something somewhere that will tell us what we need to know. Until there's absolutely nothing left to go on, we're not going t give up. We'll keep looking for anything that could help us, even if I journey to the ends of the galaxy and beyond." Said Austin, his confidence slightly returning.
"I admire your determination, Shepard. I guess all I can do is wish you good luck." Said Zartrack.
Everyone had overheard the conversation having gathered in the comm room.
"So… what do we do now?" Traynor asked.
"We keep looking. Even if it takes us until the end of this war, we're going to find something. For now, we've earned a break after taking back Thessia and we've now got the Asari with us. For now, we'll enjoy that victory while we can, then we head back out to search for anything regarding the catalyst." Austin simply said.
"We're with you until the end, Shepard." Said Alaara.
"And we'll follow you anywhere." Said Sarah.
"Dismissed." Said Austin.
"Are you alright?" Liara asked, putting her hand on her husband's shoulder.
"Yes. Just a bit down is all. I really did think we'd finally found the end to this war." Austin sighed.
"You said so yourself, we're not giving up. I know we'll find the catalyst eventually." "And whatever happens, I'll always be at your side." Said Liara supportingly.
"I can always count on you to cheer me up, can't I?" Austin smiled.
"Oh believe me, I'm just getting started." Liara smiled back. "You saved my home, I think you've more than earned a… special reward."
"Well then, lead the way, darling."
True they faced a dark hour and were now without any clues at all. But as Austin himself had said, they would never give up. They would keep fighting, they would sacrifice, and they would find a way. Plus, Thessia had been saved and now the Asari were on board.
Even though this war was far from over, it was a victory.
THE END!
No, I'm just kidding. ;)
This is however the end for 2013. I need a rest and I definitely feel it would be better if I had more than one week to do the enxt chapter, the Citadel DLC. The fic will resume on the first Friday of 2014.
It'll be worth the wait though, that I can promise.
Until then... MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)
