Punching through the Geth in the ships were easy. They immediately gave pursuit exposing themselves to the others coming in. The Thessia cruisers that came in blasting the armada apart quickly. They sent more support than they said they would.
Hotshot said it was a few personal Asari families that wanted to help. Compliments of the T'Loak Group. She also said Aria wanted to meet him. Which caused a few raised questions for later.
Landing, Jaina felt nervous about the ground forces needing some air support. She took the Arwing to run rampant along the surfaces. Azul saw nothing wrong with that. He met up with his forward team. The Vorcha and Rachni humans.
"You made it.." Shalla said coming over. Her face was bandaged and her arm was limp covered in purple powder. "Do not worry, we gave them hell."
"Yeah.. defintely." AzuI wrapped them all in his biotics and unleashed the energy. "Mental Cleansing." He watched as it rippled through them all. It didnt take long for the status of everyone to change."Regenerate."
The weirdest thing was the Rachni human. They chattered about around him. The biotic strands were to jumbled for Azul to understand them till they calmed down.
10 minutes later.
Everyone fully restored and ready to go made for easy work. A woman with a strong presence came over. It was the queen of the Rachni Queen. Third in command of the forces. First was Shalla, the Vorcha Queen, second was D'vorah of the Kytinn.
"Greetings, shackle breaker." The Queen said. Her voice was melodious, a bit strained. Still getting use to vocal cords. "I have chosen a name, I wanted you to be the first to hear it. This one is Antiqua."
"Nice to meet you Antiqua, latin for Orchestra. Nice." Azul shooh her hand and was suprised to be pulled into a hug. "Woah, you ok?" Azul could feel his Pather Power evolve even furthur.
System: Title revealed. Broodking. User has three insect-based humanoids under his command. All subsequent quests rewards are completed. Increase in Constitution and Charisma by 5. Pather power can now decipher Pheromones. Increase on range due to Rachni knowledge. Kytinn increased the viability of cells in harsh conditions. Vorcha increase on eyesight. Primarch eye lens increased resistance to harmful forces.
"No, I am fine my King. You just smell really good." Antiqua stepped back.
"Treat him normally Antiqua." Shalla said. "No reason to make him feel even more awkward than we already do." She had a smile on her face as she looked over everyone.
"Of course." Antiqua moved to the side and made an opening.
"So, where are the Shepards and.." Azul stopped once he saw them. An entire wall full of Krogan in suspend animation. "Holy... shit.."
"We tried to make sure things didn't escalate but.. well as you can see. This would cause a problem." Shalla said as they moved forward. Going through the area, several lights came on. More and more were visible. s if reading Azul's mind she answered. "Over 3 million.. at this facility."
"Hehehe, Azul chuckle nervously. He could feel his dragon and the auracite stirring. Considering they both were Reptiles, he understood why a little. 'Yeah yeah, we will see.'
"Glad you could make it." Jane ran over. John still looking over the Krogan with Wrex and Ashley. "So we took control of one of the other facilities already. I took all the Krogan to my place." She had a pocket dimension that she used for things. She promised Azul could visit one day. Still hadn't happen yet. "These guys here, we can't take. Something wrong with them."
"That and she took enough already." John said. "Whatever plan she has for them, can not need that many." He was wrong.
"There is a War going on, so I disagree." Azul said. He accessed the interface with his Omni-Tool. Bass already diving inside. "I will gladly take them off your hands. Cure them and let them terraform some places. Lots of planets that need it."
"Told you." Jane smacked Shepard in the chest. Ashley laughing as she already knew that is what his answer would be. "We can leve this to him and go after Saren. AS well as disable the bomb he planted."
"He planted a bomb?" Azul asked. "Not you all?"
"Nope. We have disable four. But the last one is heavily guarded. It will take the planet out cause massive devastation with the explosion." Jane popped up a map on her omni-tool. "The resulting debris will destroy a few satellites in the area. Some of it hitting the Relay nearby. But shouldn't do much damage to it."
"Alright, get to it. I will get this taken care of." Azul said. "Shalla, get your forces to the ships. Get in touch with Ruma about what you found."
"On it." Shalla started to give orders. Antiqua observing Azul but also giving orders to the soldiers. "She won't make it over here. She found another group of Krogan. They are fighting back. But at least a few are still in tanks. They will be overrun in minutes if they are not careful."
"I will send a few to help." Antiqua commented. A slight pain look on her face made her change her statement. "The Geth are heading this way!"
"Guess we have some cleaning to do!" Wrex pulled out his shotgun and ran out. Several others running with him. Jane the last one with Azul.
"Azul, if you can not get them cleaned, send them to Magic the Gathering. It is better than them rampaging here." Jane said sadly. She didn't take them in because they were indoctrinated. Not wanting to risk anything in her pocket dimension. She didn't tell John since he was acting weird to her lately. "Also.. no. Another time."
"Stay safe out their Jane. Allbuff!" Azul cast on her since she could take it. The others not so much. "I will join you all soon." She left, leaving Azul and Bass. "How is it coming?"
Bass: So far so good. The regular de-indoctrination program you have is doing great. Followed by your Indoctrination going over it then the D.G. cells, it will be just a moment. The new upgrade you receive should make it that you can command them with a hive mentality.
Hilda: Try linking to all of them now. You can take it.
System: Willpower Check 45 Pass
"Ugghh!" Azul groaned as he spread his Pather Power over them. His Dragon turning restless but extremely happy. He now knew why it had been acting up. A warning for what was coming. 'Tch, blasted Lunatic Quest.'
Lluvia: It will begin not to long from now. Just enough time for you to pop into Warhammer 30k-40k for some forces.
'Let Ruma know about this. I told her she is in charge of Krogan. That applies to tank bred Krogan as well.' Azul could feel both Hilda and Lluvia were upset about it. But they did it anyway. It was time to deal with the guest in the shadows. "You can come out now."
"So you did know I was here." A Turian walked out from down the way. He raised his hands to show he meant no harm. "I come in peace." It was Saren Saren Arterius. "I want your help."
"Oh yeah?" Azul dropped an Auxiliary Field. Disrupting anyone who could be listening in, as well as watching. "Mental Cleasing Full power!"
"Fwish!" White flame came out engulfing Saren. Clearing him of Indoctrination from the Reapers forcefully, as well as exposing him to Azul's Indoctrination.
"Ahhhhh!" A black substance disintegrated from the Turian's body. "That was not what I expected. Why did you do it so easily? If you do not mind sharing User?"
"I remember some things and realized this was most likely a trap." Azul let Bass take over as he addressed Saren. "It made since you met with a User already. Also, remembering you wanted to fight the Reaper's from within, I made a judgment call."
"So now what?" Saren felt clear-headed for the first time in a long time. Considering Azul made no orders for him, it was easy enough for him to think nothing of becoming Indoctrinated by a different source. "I can not go to the Council. I would just be handed off to Turian hierarchy. And prison does not sound nice for a Spectre labeled traitor."
"You can go undercover against the Reapers or.." Azul thought he saw the Turian visibly tremble at the suggestion. His biotic strands differently saying he did not want to go back undercover. ".. I send you somewhere else to do things. A few places were your talent could shine."
"I rather leave. I.. can not make up for what I did here. But I do have info I am sure you can use." Saren sent some files over. Azul immediately triple checked them and sent them to Jaina and Nevalinna to comb through. "When ever you are ready. Make it look good."
"Of course." Azul dropped the Auxiliary Feild. He turned to get work on the terminal as Saren snuck up on him. Riddled with injuries and on his last leg. In a quick turn, Azul grabbed him and snapped his neck. He said nothing while pulling the Turian's soul into his Millennium eye. "Ok, Palavan gets the body and we get some forces."
Lluvia: This data is troubling. I will help them go through it all. Slipp says thanks by the way. The others will not know of what happened to Saren yet. Hilda is making some stuff to add for the video that will show.
'Good. To much going on already for most of us. A vacation after awhile will be needed.' After the D.G. cells finished in each of the Krogan Azul put them to work. The pods open and the Krogan charged out to help the others. Not all of them of course. "We are taking everything before self-destructing this facility."
The next few hours were pretty long as the place was dismantled. Azul opened a Rift into a part of his Nether World isolated to have additional help. He couldn't help acting extra carefully. A lot of forces were happy to help rip things apart. A bunch of scientists created by Cassandra working extra hard with blowtorches.
"Extremely excited to get this done huh?" Azul said with a wry smile. The fervor they worked someone what scaring him. "Ugh." A bit of a headache from opening a gate to his nether World here. 'Defintely not a smart move.'
"Azzy!" Candace came running over. A tablet in her hand. She spared only a single glance at the Turian corpse. "Look! Look!" On the tablet was readings for a genetic sequence. "We can completely take care of biotic children with this. Once we adapted of course for humans."
"Good find." Azul smiled. A quick word with her and he had to take off. "The others have gotten far out already. A few Geth manage to get by. Take over here while I hold them off."
"Right!" Candace understood how dangerous it was so wasted no time.
.
-A small skirmish!-
.
A few shots went pass. "Yeowch!" The last shot got Azul right in a bad spot. Three geth prime were waiting. They kept with him the entire time. "Bloody machines and their boosters. And no need for stamina."
A strange flux disrupted his senses. It was Indigo disrupting time. But Azul had a cure for that. He felt part of his Primary Soul gets displaced. Gone into the future for awhile. But the other half remained. He couldn't separate into two currently which was not that big of a deal.
Then a geth grabbed him. Lifting him as it scanned him. AzuI backhanded it with ease. His Devil was not having this crap. Azul felt himself become more feral. He jumped on the geth and started scratching at it. With his strength and armor, it easily broke through in the current state.
System: Devil Gene triggered. Increase to primal abilities and martial arts.
Azul's skin turned blue like Obelisk. The head dressed was not as pronounced. The blue gem started absorbing biotic strands naturally to feed the humanoid state. In the center oh his chest another gem appeared. It was the Auracite he recently obtained.
"Pew!" Azul fired a chest beam that burned through several Geth in an instant. The green beam was a sight behold as well as powerful. He was pushed back several feet despite his strength.
"Grrr, shit that is a hell of a kick back!" Azul didn't have long to get his wits about him. As several Geth made their move on him.
"Wrrip!" A cable went around his neck. Dragging him across the ground. A few more wrapped around his arms. They wanted to capture him it seemed.
System: Strength Check 33 Pass
"Raaah!" Azul ripped them off and flew up. Head cocked back as her fired several Force Bursts. It just stunned the Geth, but that was fine enough. "Vanishing World!"
"Bbbbbrrrp!" Space distorted as he fired the large dark blast. The geth downbelow melting into slag. But still visible. The received a hell of an upgrade recently. A quick check with the World Shard identified it as metal not from this World.
'Now it wants to give me info!' Azul mentally cursed. His wings sprouted free. 'Overlord's Fury!' The arms and the cannons appeared. Bass was still working away with the others. So it was the Dark Gundam's turn to shine. 'Open fire. Controls are yours.'
"Woosh!" The hands went down ripping apart the slagged Geth. as well as throwing a few chunks into a pile. D.G. Cells breaking the material down that was useable.
An electrical pulse is all he received for an answer. AzuI watched as several blasts of cannon fire tore into the geth. All shots were unbelievably accurate. While that went on, he charged into the geth for physical work.
"Boom!" Azul ripped through the body with his claws. Coming out on the otherside he rolled from some fire. Causing the Geth to hit its wounded ally. Which was new to see. The Geth generally never attacked when another could be injured. At least that's what the reports said a month ago.
"Thump!" Something came from orbit. It was big and defintely not friendly. It was a reaper. The human one from Mass effect two. Why it was here ahead of time left much to be discussed for later. The large humanoid monstrosity looked complete as well. A closer look showed several signs from Cerebrus.
