The Battle for the Ark 1/?

"Commandos on me."

I shouted as I walked into a large open area of the ark, instantly I created a bubble like shield around me, as I waited for the commandos to enter the shield I took a count of the enemies in the room. 12, 4 in front of me, 5 to the left and three with a height advantage to my right.

"Are you three the only military left on the ship?"

I asked as the Commandos regrouped on me,

"No"

One responded she was the youngest of the three, no more than 100 years old if I had to guess. Young indeed, likely here for a sense of adventure, I hope she is getting the thrill she was hoping for.

"The deputy Pathfinder is just through the way, these aliens are tearing us apart, who are you?"

I let out a small laugh escaped my mouth, it is rare for people not to instantly recognise me, especially fellow Asari. As I turned to look at the younger Asari, one of the other commandos noticed the insignia carved into my armour, an Asari Skull tinted black with red eyes.

"The Dark Lady.."

My shield was beginning to crack under the constant assault of the Aliens,

"You three fall back to the door, you will need your strength for other fights, we will be pushing them off of the ark, take 2 and prepare yourselves."

As they fell back, I opened up a singularity to my left, throwing the aliens into the air, so it works on them? Noted. I then threw myself at the enemies to the centre, smashing into one of them with a biotic charge, their body? Didn't survive the impact, turned into a paste on the wall. Before the other three aliens could react, I pulled out my shortsword, an Asari Meele weapon and shoved it through the skull of the closest enemy, using biotics I flung them into another one, pinning them to the ground.

The last Alien in this section was hidden behind a wall, he retreated as soon as he could react, shouting something to the other groups. Whatever it was will be his last words, walking towards his location, I threw a small grenade that clung to the wall next to his head. With a smile, I biotic charged to the right side of the room as two pained shrieks echoed out from behind me, the wall long gone, the rubble crushing the alien pinned to the floor.

The three on the high ground would act as a Battery pack for me, making sure not to kill the one I charged into, I activated the ability that I have spent a long portion of my life so far perfecting, Reave. Instantly the three aliens were lifted off of the floor, their body was slowly being stripped of any life, leaving them husks, panicked snarls was the only sound in the large room other than my singularity.

You wouldn't believe the feeling that Reave gives you when you use it, think about it, you are literally stealing the life force of another being and using it to power yourself, the feeling can become intoxicating and for that reason, the power is often disregarded. If people came to understand the importance of that ability then there would be a lot more 'Dark ladys' running around, the power not only heals you but it literally gives you their life force. I have lived far longer than I should have both thanks to this knowledge and the heavily modified genetics of mine but enough sidelining, back to the task at hand.

My singularity ended, causing the 5 Kett grunts to slam into the floor, smiling I holstered my Sword, placing it back at my side, I reached to my back. A large smile plastered my face as the familiar feeling of a Katana shotgun echoed through my body, I have used this weapon for as long as I can remember, it is like an extended part of me, that is not usually a good thing for my enemies.

Speaking of, the Kett began to shout to one another, I'm assuming trying to talk strategy, there is one thing that strategy will never help you beat and that is me.

*Inhale*

*Exhale*

I calmed my emotions as best as I could, drowning out the noises of the bleeding ark with my own heartbeat, I then slowly filtered in the sounds of the Kett.

*Bang*

A shotgun blast to the skull, one down four to go. I slowly creeped around to the body of the Kett, lifting it up with pull, I used it as a body shield, walking to where another was hiding, I balanced the shotgun on the side of the dead body. Peaking around the corner,

*Bang*
