Hidden
Tali felt her breath hitch as she felt the footsteps incoming. Two, those were who she counted. Two sets, four in full. She cocked her shotgun. Hidden behind the dumpster as she held her breath. She still couldn’t get though to Garrus. Then she saw them going in, dressed in Cerberus armour. She held her breath, before popping out of cover. Opening fire on them with her shotgun. Sending them both down onto the ground. Bleeding out. She gasped quietly before running though the alleyways. She had to make it to meeting spot nearby.
Soon, she has made it. She was in the larger alleyway, she held her breath. Looking out at the sky above. When a body dropped down to the ground behind her, a member of CAT-6. Broken neck. When the Geth body of Legion jumped down from the rooftops.
“Creator Tali'Zorah it is good to see you again.”
She breathed a sigh of relief as she looked towards the Geth.
“Oh Legion! It’s good to see you again. I’m so glad your working again.”
“This unit is thankful you repaired it. But, it is felt with sorrow for the loss of Shepard-Commander. What is our plan?”
Tali looked at her Geth friend, a sentence she never thought she would think seven years ago. She cocked her shotgun again. Looking towards him as she handed him the weapon being used by the CAT-6 Operative. As he took it, she pulled up a map of the city. Looking around on the map. Then back again to Legion. “There’s a train station nearby, and there’s no way the Alliance is not on the way. We can hold out in the train station.”
”That can be done.”
“Good, let’s move then.”
She started leading him through the back alleys. Sneaking past units of CAT-6 and Cerberus. Before they made it to the train station. Tail pointed at the guard protecting the area. Legion ran forward, grabbing him by the neck and snapping his neck. Before signalling to move forward. The two moving down the stairs. And taking a seat in one of the offices. Tail tapping her omni-tool into the system. She breathed a sigh of relief, looking back at Legion. Who had taken up position near the down to the conference room sized room. When Tail began getting a call.
“What the.”
She picked up, when she saw Liara’s holographic form in front of her. Standing in her green duster.
“Tail. Your there?”
“Yes-yes Liara. Why are you calling?”
“Well, since I’m seeing what’s happening in London. Alliance forces are on route to the city. But we need to get you out of there, I’m getting transport for you. There’s a space port on the outskirts of the city. Get there, and we can handle the rest.”
“Right, right. Okay, we can get the-“
She was cut off by Liara’s feed going dead and a new returning. One taking over every signal in the city. Tail looking shocked as the TV’s outside also began playing the message. As the Zealot stood on top of a tower.
The Zealot stood, his cloak flying in the wind as he stood on the edge of the building. His Lieutenant standing behind him.
“People of London. Damnation is upon you. One more time I shall send a warning before you as the end times come. This is what sinners will receive.”
He stood on the edge of the building, as Joker was wheeled out in a wheelchair. Clearly struggling with a gun against his head.
“This man served the Shepard throughout his journey. This man was the greatest pilot in the galaxy. Now, for his sins. We shall allow him...to fall...”
He said, wheeling Joker out.
“Please, please god no! Let me!”
Joker was simply pushed off the edge, with a scream audible throughout the city...
