Crap , I Was Rifted 30 Not Much Time. Feros Is ... Dangerous Part 2.

I found it near the shaft that I dropped from. It was in a constant scan surrounding's mode. I grabbed it and connected my Cerebus Node to it.

"Lunabella give me the coordinates, of the last location of Riku." Hopefully, this works.

Lunabella: Sending signal pulse now … location found my Tamer. Uploading to map now. Trying to work through the interference. So far no luck.

"What the h.e.l.l is all this jumble? Hey, colonists send me any data of a map you have on your Omni-Tool's." I told the colonists. I then turned back to Lunabella. "Try to clean this up as best you can."

Lunabella: Of course. Matching data now.

After three minutes a clear image was formed on the screen. Collapsed tunnels, destroyed lifts but wait... what the h.e.l.l is this corridor? How the heck is it still intact? "Lunabella what do we have here? Can you find anything matching in the Cerebus Node?

Lunabella: Riku detected 2 miles below current location. Her Omni-tool is sending out a damage signal. The distress signal has not been triggered, odd. It would be best to a.s.sume it is not triggered due to the damage. The materials suggest it is an underground laboratory. Referencing with the Cerebus Node... alarming news. I will have to get back to you, my Tamer.

"s.h.i.+t! Is there any way to get info on the other's?" This is going south really fast. I hope they are ok. This is my fault I relied too much on my history of this mission.

Ma.s.sive amounts of negative biotic strands have been pouring into me. I fell to my knees grabbing at the ground. My heart both of them for that matter seized up on me.

Galtea: My User snap out of it! You are absorbing too many biotic strands from the colonists. It is clouding your judgment. There is too much depression for your current mental state. Focus on rescuing your team. Blame can be a.s.signed later.

System: Willpower Check 21

I shake my head and cycle my pyscho power through myself. For safe measure, I hit myself and the colonist with another dose of mental cleansing.

"Alright, people my team is in trouble. I can't' stay here anymore." I said to them as I looked at my map trying to figure something out. 'What is the fastest route as well as an escape method?' "Lunabella ideas go if you have none I am just gonna charge in."

Lunabella: That is not a good idea. However, I may be able to trace the signal back if I upload myself into the drone and follow it back.

"Sounds like a plan. Do it! Wait what are the side effects?" I don't need to lose any more teammates.

Lunabella: There shouldn't be any. Nothing is ever perfect.

At that the little drone took flight. It turned and waved its little antenna at me to follow. I did just that.

"Wait what about us?" Some of the colonists asked.

"Hmm." 'Galtea what do you think?' I think I can help but should I?

Galtea: Tell them you will try. I believe that you don't want to generate any additional missions right now. If you offer them a.s.sistance directly I will not be able to hold the generated mission back. The difficulty level will skyrocket. Good news Agria is almost finished. This place feels wrong I suggest getting out of there as soon as possible.

'd.a.m.n that is quick. How in the heck is she almost done?' I look back to the colonists. Time to give some bad news.

"Look there are Krogan mercs here. I have no idea how many there are, or what they ar here for. But what I can summarize it has to do with the Genophage. You'll all should know how they react towards that subject. It is up to you. What do you want to do next?"

Galtea: She has been placed in an incubation chamber as well as nourished by the system. She has been gone one year so far doing theoretical training and education. It will go a lot faster if you cough up some more points.

'Fat chance!' I retorted angrily. 'I need the points. Also, I don't know her that well.'

After saying that I sprinted to catch up with the drone. In one minute I caught up with it. In three we came across a firefight.

A 15 squad of Krogan were firing at my people. I used Observe to see what I was dealing with as I approached closer.

Riku was pinned behind rocks. Mia was laying covering fire with a sniper rifle. From the looks of it that was the only thing keeping them from getting overrun. Sophia was doing her best to get an old door opened. Several bodies laid blown apart between both groups. The dead geth was facing away from my team.

'What the everliving h.e.l.l!' "s.h.i.+t! Why for the ever living h.e.l.l why?"

"Are you ok?" One of the colonist asked.

"No, I am not. This place is having a weird effect on me." I said as I unclipped my heavy pistol.

I felt a weird throbbing at the base of my neck. It overrode my judgment to call out to them. Before I knew what came over me. My pyscho power activated making me charge into the group of Krogan. I was lucky enough to fire my pistol as I moved in. Round after round landed in a Krogans back before I had control.

"Who the h.e.l.l are you?!" A Krogan across from me yelled. "You think you will interfere? Die!" The Krogan yelled as he fired his shotgun at me.

"Koom"

"Koom"

"Koom."

The blasts of fire tore into my armor s.h.i.+elds. I sent out a wave a biotic energy to disrupt him and the rest of his mercenaries. It wouldn't last long but give me some breathing room.

Me an a Krogan started bas.h.i.+ng each other in hand to hand. Due to my flexibility, I was able to move around easily. Took every chance I had to fire at one of the other mercenaries.

A flicker caught my attention. I also noticed something else with Riku's movements.

System Check: Perception 11

"He is our Boss you overgrown lizard!" Riku yelled through gritted teeth.

"Not by himself he won't. Good thing he has backup." A voice came from nowhere that I could see. A few of the mercenaries looked around to try to determine where the voice came from.

'Move now! you are in a bad position.' A stern voice said in my thoughts.

Galtea: Agria is done. Do something to distract them.

"Riku grenade!" I yelled. With some of the mercenaries looking that way, I dropped a flash grenade. I made sure to drop it at the Krogan Warleader feet. I sprinted to Riku with my back turned to her. I directed all my s.h.i.+elds to the front of me.

"Get Burned!" Riku threw a fire grenade into the grouping. It landed right where I was previously standing.

The flash grenade went off a little before the fire grenade.

"Thanks to my previous eye upgrades there was only a 2-second delay before they readjusted to normal vision. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when the adjustment finished.

Agria appeared in the fire. At least I think it was her. I only saw a few glimpses of her at first. She was moving stupid fast. In her right hand was a heavy pistol but it had the marks of the Imperial Aquila. Each shot was precise. The shots blasted chunks out of legs or kneecaps. With each flinch or buckle of the legs, the Omni-mace in her left arm and chest with each swing took out a mercenary.

"Tunk"

"Tunk"

"Tunk"

"Tunk"

"Tunk"

A loud set of rounds went out in succession. A head disappeared with every shot.

I flipped over the boulder they were using for cover. And saw what made those sounds. Mia was loading up her sniper rifle with a fresh thermal clip. The gun had a white glow on the side. Must be one of the special ammo's.

Riku leg looked like c.r.a.p. The armor was broken all the way to the hip. Pieces of metal embedded in the flesh up to the bone. Soon as I realized the level of damage I started to use my Omni-gel.

"d.a.m.n, thought I had problems," I said to her as I applied the gel. "Are you able to move your toes? I don't think it is good for you to put any weight on it even with the Omni Gel. But then again you barely weigh much so easy day for me" I start to cast Lvl1 213/2300 Rune Magic to help along with the healing. 'I really need to start improving my medical and healing abilities.'

Checking again.

With a small smirk, Riku gave me a smile. "It's bad I know. I am not going anywhere like this. Who the heck is the mace wielder? Why are her biotics so bright? And why do I feel like she is the same as me?" Riku asked. Before waiting for an answer she used her biotics to prop herself back up and started to return fire again.

The fact she was using smgs did not bother me. Then I saw the weird clip extension with a wing symbol. I think I knew what they were but not important right now.

"She is helping, that we acquired when helping Alistair. Didn't have a chance to introduce you all. Her biotics are a side effect the same as mine and yours. She is relatively from the same place as you ok." I answered while pulling the rest of the shards out of the bone. "Sophia, Mia are you both good?"

"Tch, you sure that isn't my replacement," Riku said in a huff. The agitation of her flowed right into me. I felt her tail smack me in the face.

"Running out of clips! But could be better. I wasn't the one to get bit by a Krogan." Mia said with a smirk as she reached for another clip. " Die you dinos!" She screamed as she opened fire again.

"I almost have this door opened. Who the h.e.l.l are those people that came with you? Are those the colonists?" Sophia asked as she went back to work on the door.

"Yeah cant replace you Riku. Why the h.e.l.l you would think that I don't know. Lunabella see what you can do to help open that door with Sophia.

The drone took off to Sophia. Keeping my biotics fully on her while keeping up with her increase healing was a problem. The good news my biotics moved faster than the omni-gel. The new DNA had some boosted results will have to study in depth later.

"Boom." The chasm shook. Pieces started to fall down.

An explosion went off to the side of us. Some voices could be heard from the new tunnel formed. They weren't allies from the sound of the voices. Riku later confirmed it.

"This got worse. You need to get out of here now!" Riku said with a grim look on her face. There was no life in her eyes. She was resolved to die here. She continued to load her guns and fire. Her moments seemed like she was just going through the motions. The biotics flowed off her in a ma.s.sive drove.

Images of her and others fighting against Sin creatures played in front of me. I shook it off quickly. It took that strand to make me realize I f.u.c.ked up. She was a ticking time bomb waiting to end, one final ho-rah. Riku was used to these situations. I should have not put her in a predicament like this considering her past. Can't believe I forgot she isn't the same Riku from the game. She is older an went through a whole lot worse.

Galtea: It took you long enough. The user you finally realized this now. Better than later before it would hurt you. Her loyalty to you was fading quite fast.

'Wait you knew?! Why didn't you say something!? Anything!' I asked Galtea p.i.s.sed. I channeled the new built up soul/pyscho power onto my hand. I pointed it at the new tunnel of troops coming. "Lv1 39/150 Concussive Shot full power!" I let it fly off hopefully it will slow there advance. The rest of the magic energy gathered I used it to will Riku's leg shut.

Galtea: I was not allowed. I can only speak on what you ask or what happens to be a mission parameter. This is not Riku's companion mission. It is a regular mission in which death is highly likely for you and your companions. If this were companion mission I could tell you a lot more.

"Have the door open it's time to move," Sophia said as she removed a rifle from her back and started to open fire.

'f.u.c.king h.e.l.l.' "Dammit Ruku I am sorry about this. But this will hurt." I released all the biotics and magic I had in place. I watched as her bones moved back in place. The nerves reattached to correct locations. I caught sight of some dead cells I would take care of later.

"Aah! You son of a b.i.t.c.h!" Riku screamed as she smacked the rock we were using for cover smas.h.i.+ng it. Her tail stood straight up as the biotic/magic gathered in front of her. She crushed booth of her guns in her hands. She looked at me eyes blazing red. If looks could kill I would be dead. She turned to face the oncoming group. "Move you blond idiot or get hit!" Riku threw her hands out and a giant shockwave went towards the new tunnel and the mercenary group.

Agria jumped in the air when the shockwave approached. Missing it completely. Agria threw some grenades down as she activated some thrusters on her back. As she hovered she fired her heavy pistol at them. The good news it was smoke grenades I don't think this room could handle any more explosions.

"Sorry, Riku had to be done. Agria to me now! Mia let's move. Sophia lead the way." I barked out orders as I got uplifting Riku over my shoulder. " Riku this will be a b.u.mpy ride. Lay down cover fire as I mend your leg internally." We took off in a run to the door. "Agria cover the colonist if you can."

"No problem. I am gonna borrow this pistol of yours." Riku said and a split second later I could hear my pistol go off.

The colonist members fired the guns they had hazardly mostly to ward them off I take it. Some of them used the biotic ability lift to help with disorienting the mercenaries. So far they have taken no casualties as I can see.

"Lunabella get us some coordinates out of here. The captain's team has got be fairing better than us." I said as I looked to the drone.

"Head left 80ft then right 310 ft," Lunabella said as the drone went further ahead scanning. "Recommend picking up the pace. There are several s.h.i.+fts in the chasm. Possible cave in suspected.

"You people are gonna have to keep up. We can not slow down." I said as I booked that left.

We traveled down the door for a while about 8 minutes or so. I still heard the occasional gunshot. In a bright light behind us, Agria appeared with the two people that helped with the biotic lift move. Both men were knocked out from what I could see. A few cuts and bruises but they looked alive.

I heard yell travel down the way to us. "Kill that bright light monster! Where is she!" A voice yelled as shots still went off.

We stopped at a secured door. Sophia and the Lunabella drone went to work as soon as we reached it. Mia was on the ground taking large gasps of air. She looked beat. I laid Riku down against the wall and went back to work on her leg. I didn't need to check with observe I could still feel the agitation. I kept quiet as I worked.

"Yah know Boss, this was not what I had in mind when I wanted to get close to you later. But a girl will take what she can get. I am gonna hold onto your pistol though ok." Riku said with a smile. She closed her eyes and started to meditate or sleep. I didn't know which.

I tried to stand up but I couldn't. Riku's Tail had wrapped around my head that was on her leg. I stroked her tail till it let go. I went over to Mia to check her condition. I had my hand above her with my Omni-tool scanning as well.

"What happened to you? Where did the internal bleeding come from? Why didn't you say anything." I said to her. I brought my biotics and magic to her core. Entering a semi-meditative state I drew on the surroundings to help heal her.

"Better I stay quiet and not endanger the mission. If I die so what. If you all live I have served my purpose." Mia said flatly. There was no emotion in her voice just cold acceptance.

"Sigh, I am sorry to hear that. But glad you are willing to die for us though. But I can't have you dying just yet. You haven't lived enough understand?" I said. I started to mix more of my own happy memories into the healing to see if that would help at all. If I was able to feel and see memories from biotic strands I should be able to project it as well.

"That's.." Mia started to say as her eyes went gla.s.sy. A content smile formed on her face as she relaxed.

I looked back to Sophia and Lunabella drone. "How much longer till that door is opened?"

Sophia turned to look at me. " Three minutes."

"Two minutes before the walls collapse," Luanbella said.

"I am sorry what?! Repeat that." Please let that be a joke I said to myself.

"Two minutes before the walls collapse," Sophia said it this time. We are going as fast as we can. But the technology is old. The integrity of the cavern has decayed way too much. I am sorry."

Everyone started to panic. And releasing to many biotic strands. If this kept up I would go comatose most likely. I had a stupid plan that I started to go over with Galtea. She told me it was a possible chance or I would become brain dead. Either way, it went a chance of death was the outcome.

"Listen up everyone. Gather around the entrance of the door. As soon as it opens get in there. No buts or complaining. If you have any biotic abilities you are in the back with me. Got it? Good." I said as stern as possible.

The colonists moved to the front. I placed Riku with Mia. They both were groggy and exhausted but they would be able to sprint in there. Agria stood with me. The look on her face told me she figured out what I had planned. Guess I couldn't talk her out of it. I used the remainder of the time to gather every ounce of biotic and magic I had in me.

Sophia started to chant an Imperial Litany. Her biotics started to rise as she chanted. The white light gathered around her more and more. The colonists started to pray. A few biotic strands of white left from them and went to me and Agria. I felt more confident about the plan. Agria glowed brighter.

"Tshh," The door started to open slowly. The colonist grabbed and pushed and pulled with all there might.

"Rumble Rumble, the ceiling started to come down.

Adrenaline rush allowed me to pinpoint which area were giving out first. My biotic s.h.i.+elding was placed against the roof to keep any part from falling just yet. My rune magic was used to weaken the big pieces. By grinding them into powder and pus.h.i.+ng to the front of myself.

Behind me, I could hear everyone moving into the room. If this keeps up I would be able to duck inside before anything happens. But like an idiot, I thought too soon.

Up ahead a group of Krogan were coming with what I thought was a battering ram. I was wrong. It opened up to reveal some type of steel array. Looking at It, I activated my observe.
