Chapter Text
Chapter 5. The Trap is Sprung.
The Battle for the Cargo hold.
Jacob and Jack entered the Cargo hold only to be confronted with additional Cerberus reinforcements. Miranda called more personal from her Lazurus cell to board the Normandy and they all had their guns pointed at the pair entering the shuttle bay.
“Get them” Captain Carl yelled to the soldiers pointing their weapons at jack and Jacob.
“I will destroy you!” Jack yelled going full berserker and running to the overwhelming enemy.
Jacob’s eyes went wide when he saw the trap laid out for the charging Jack, who appeared to have no idea of her surroundings just the people she wanted to kill. She did even notice the entire squad of engineers. The all shot their damping attacks at the same time.
Jack’s did not even get a chance to hit them with her wave. It was too late by the time she noticed her powers were disabled she was shot with a tranquilizer dart and tackled by four men.
Jacob was not so easily taken however, and picked up the one of the engineers with his throw and ducked an attack from a biotic.
Jacob fired his Avenger right at a couple of regular soldiers and they started to drop like flies, which lead to the entirety of the Cerberus cadre to seek shelter, it was fight for the Cargo Hold, I
Jacob fought off the cadre of soldiers for about half an hour, in the end it was a drone from one of the engineers that got him in the back, as he collapsed on the ground.
Clash of the Titans.
Shepard had no idea Kelly Chambers had been under the influence of Miranda, but she was sure as shit going to make Miranda pay for this betrayal. She stormed across the ship yelling Miranda’s name. She sent Jack to look in the Cargo Hold while she would go straight to the crew deck. She knew if she was going to kill this mutiny, she must defeat Miranda in front of all her weak ass Minions. Plus she had a wild card up her sleeve. Grunt, the welp imprinted on Shepard as his mother, or Battle master. Let the crew try to clump together to take her down with a charging Krogan at their backs she laughed. Plus she had Ashley Williams with her, Shepard would not be so easily subdued.
The elevator opened yet no one was in sight. Shepard aimed her omni tool forward. The Sentinel had her overload ready to mess with Miranda’s biotics. She also had her neural shock blast on standby to hit her right afterwards. She then motioned for Ashley to go into the Krogan crew quarters to see where Grunt was, and immediately started aiming her Omni tool to take care of any surprises. She stepped slowly into the cafeteria, still no sign of Miranda. Then over the PA system,
“Shepard, looking for me, I am at my station which is more than I can say for you. Come to my office if you want to settle this, I have instructed the crew to their quarters, so none of them get hurt.” Miranda echoed in her usual haughty tone.
“I had to put your Krogan to sleep I hope you do not mind, he would not take my orders to stand down, so we shot him with a Krogan sleeping agent, made especially for their species, the more the Krogan fights it effects the more sedative gets injected, like a chemical fishing net” Miranda laughed.
Oh, and it seems that EDI just subdued your former crewmate, my, my she is a morsel. This has just gotten much more fun.” Miranda laughed.
Shepard shook her head in anger and stormed towards Miranda’s office. She was so pissed that she was seeing red.
She opened the door with her arm forward aiming it at Miranda who for her part was simply sitting at her desk with her elbows on her desk and hands clasped as she always does.
“Oh my it looks like my kitty does have claws, no cheating deary. “Miranda said as she hit a button on her desk, and from above the ceiling a bolt of electricity hit Shepard’s Omni tool until the holographic interface disappeared and the wrist bracelet that powered it unclasped from Shepard’s wrist and feel to the floor in a trail of white smoke.
Shepard gasped as she clutched her wrist looking at Miranda who now was standing up and glowing blue.
“Did you honestly think I would let you use that damn thing on me bitch” Miranda said as her face now betrayed pure animus towards Shepard.
“I think it is far passed time to put you in your place XO” Shepard shot back as she charged and wound up her fist for a powerful right hook.
Miranda did not move and let Shepard come at her.
Shepard’s hand immediately erupted in pain as it hit Miranda’s shield. Miranda wasted little time in taking advantage of the pain in Shepard’s hand, and shot a body shot followed by a warp bolt that both landed. Shepard would have been severely damaged had she not still been wearing her armor. As it where with no shield from the Omni Tool ,her armor pieces broke off from her body in several places including her chest plate. Shepard quickly recovering ripped the last straps off to have better movement.
She tried her own paltry biotics, only to have Miranda aptly dodge out of the way. The problem with being a Sentinel is that field of fighting did not specialize in engineering or biotics, so they had to both be available for to the practice to be at full fighting capability. Shepard would have ended Miranda already if she still had her Omni tool. As of now Shepard was outgunned and she knew it.
Before Shepard could think Miranda fired another warp bolt at her. Shepard dodged in the only place available to her, the right. Miranda being the master tactician counted on that and before Shepard could react was hit with an overload bolt.
“Arrrgghggghhh you bitch” Shepard spat as she crumpled on the floor. Her entire body was on fire. Shepard no stranger to pain attempted to fight through it and lunged surprising Miranda who was slammed against the wall and who was now pinned. Shepard began to inflict a series of body blows on Miranda who was lifted off the floor with every punch. The hero of the Citadel was going to town with her punches on Miranda, she had her and she knew it, powers or no, it was about to be over.
Miranda was genuinely terrified as Shepard was close to knocking her out with kidney punches. Being pinned she could not extend her arm to aim her warp. Miranda out of sheer fear, tried a new maneuver she had not quite perfected but had no choice, if she wanted to live. She lifted her arm straight up concentrating on Shepard who suddenly became engulfed in blue light of a biotic attack. Shepard flew to the ceiling hard and before she could react Miranda slammed her arm in a downward motion then just as quickly as she was slammed into the ceiling Shepard now was slammed into the floor but not before slamming right into Miranda’ desk breaking the desk in two then landing in the floor in a crumpled mess. Shepard body looked limp and Miranda thought she possible could have just killed the woman.
Miranda did not leave anything to chance she shot an overload bolt at Shepard who convulsed when the electricity went through her body but betrayed no other reaction. She was really injured Miranda thought to herself It was almost over Miranda thought. Miranda grabbed her ribs and side as they screamed in pain. She then staggered in pain over to a cannister that held a mechanical version of the bugs the Collectors had been using. Little did Shepard know that under secret Illusive Man orders Miranda had made a replica of the bugs used to subdue the colonist in the Terminus Systems. She was about to give it a live test. She used its programming to target Shepard the mechanical bug flew over to Shepard’s neck and proceeded to sting her. Shepard immediately stopped moving, and was frozen in place.
Miranda crumpled to ground against the wall struggling to catch her breath.
She had won.
