Chapter 88 - Collector Base

"Joker bring us to the Collectors Headquarter. I want all team members in the conference room right now," says Shepard and Joker says, "Will do it immediately." Once everyone was in the conference room Shepard says, "Edi give me a map with entries into the Headquarter." "Yes, Shepard. This is the Collectors Headquarter. You need to reach the top and detonated the explosive to destroy everything. Those are the entries. I recommend taking a small team with a tech-expert and go through this small entrance while the tech-expert goes through this tube and opens the door on the end of the corridor. The other group will be the distraction and go through the other entry taking their attention both corridors end at the same point so once the main group is through the door the distraction will most likely be waiting on the other side for you to open the door. Once together you all will enter this room," says Edi showing them everything and then she shows them a big room.

"This room is pretty big and is connected to everything it seems important. You will then enter a crossroad I recommend to split the group again since the door on the end is blocked from one side while the other side is open," says Edi and Shepard says, "Something is fishy don't you think so." "It is because you will pass the room that is full of those bugs they use," says Edi and Logan says, "It should be easy if we use Biotics to stop them from taking us into the air and making us smashed potatoes." "It should. Once passed that room you will be almost there. From there you will be on your own with your selected team members while the others will cover for you until you return. Or come back to the Normandy if you command it," says Edi and Shepard says, "You heard her."

Shepard begins to think and says, "Tali you will enter the tube. I will go with Thane, Grunt, and Sion through the first entry and Logan will lead the second team with the rest to distract the Collectors from the first team and Tali we regroup then at the big room." "Alright," says everyone and Shepard says, "Today is the day we worked for to end the Collectors so the people in the Terminus system don't fear been kidnapped in the middle of the day without being able to defend themselves. We will show th that we aren't defenseless and strike back so hard that they would wish that they never crossed us. Now I want everyone to look around you. You will protect each other and trust each other we all are now brothers- and sisters-in-arms. We do it together and succeed or we crumble apart and fail. Now look each other in the eyes see how the fire is burning in each other and let's get out there and bring the glory home."

Everyone was fired up except Logan and Abigail since they already know that it was only to fire up the moral in the team while they pretend to be fired up. Then Joker says over the com, "We are there." Shepard and the team leave the conference room and walk to the bridge to leave the Normandy through the door and go to their entry position while Logan summons Justice and says, "Follow Tali and help her when she needs help. Keep her safe." "Alright, I will do my best in keeping her safe," says Justice and disappears again.

Logan leads his team of misfits into the Collectors Headquarter and says, "Abigail you will take command over your old team, Samara, and Miranda. I will command the rest also don't hold back that goes for you all I don't want to bury anyone today understood." "Understood," says the team and Abigail groups up with Ino, Jack, Miranda, Samara, and Kasumi while Logan got Garrus, Mordin, Zaeed, Legion, and Jacob. They move in their group and defend themselves while taking the attention of the Collectors. Logan uses his Sweet Business to make a way for both teams while they then give him covering fire so he can advance.

Arriving at the door Logan says over the com, "We are in position waiting for been received." "Almost there hold the position," says Shepard and Logan says, "Just make haste. We will hold the position." Then he turns to his team and says, "We hold this position until Jane and her team open the door for us." "We will need some cover or we will be slaughtered here," says Garrus and Logan uses his earth wall jutsu to erect some cover for them and says, "Ino, I need you as a Nyx and Mag combination. Abigail, you will go as a Frost and Ember. We need to hold this position as long as possible." Logan changes into his Ash and Excalibur combination and summons his sword and says, "Garrus command the team while I take the front." Logan runs towards the enemy while Ino manipulates the enemy to fight between themselves and let them levitate so Abigail can easily kill them off with the others.

Logan was killing his way through the enemy when he hears Shepard's voice saying, "We are in position. Tali is opening the door." "Everyone be ready the door will open in a moment we need to cover with a barrage of shoots so Tali can do her work as smooths as possible," says Logan to his team while retreating and he changes to his Rhino warframe and uses Iron Skin while using Sweet Business to give covering fire. The door opened and everyone entered while still shooting at the enemy.

"Tali close the door," says Shepard and Tali says, "I'm trying." "Justice support her," says Logan while going back outside and Shepard asks, "What are you doing?" "Making time. Besides I can just teleport to one of your sides so don't worry too much I have survived worse suicide missions," says Logan and jumps into the fray again buying time for Tali until she closed the door once she has done it. Logan Hiraishin to the other side and says, "I'm back." "I can see that let us move on now. We need to save the crew," says Shepard and leads the way deeper into the Collector Base. Entering the room Edi described as the giant room seeing many capsules as they saw on the Collector Cruiser on Horizon and Logan looks inside the capsule and says, "This one looks like one of our crew members let get him out."

Logan breaks the capsule with his fist and brings him out when the guy says, "Fast. We need to save them fast before they begin with the disintegrating." "You heard the man let's get the people out of the capsules," says Shepard and the team begins to save the crew members as well as many civilians as possible. After doing that says Logan, "I will bring them to the Normandy. You go further in and com me when you are about to split again." "Alright see you in a moment," says Shepard and Logan then leaves with the people towards the Normandy first and then the coms his father saying, "Old man I need you to be in a big place I have people that we saved." "Alright give me five minutes," says Gabriel who looks at his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and says, "Ikki and Ichi look after the other three I will be right back." "Yes grandpa," say the two and Gabriel leaves the office and walks to the training hall and says over the com, "Alright, bring them over."

Logan jumps with everyone over and says to the civilians, "The Alliance will now take care of you just tell them from where you are from. Old man, I need to leave again. They are all yours." "Got it. I will ask Mrs. Santa to take care of them," says Gabriel and Logan disappears again. And appears near Shepard and says, "Alright the crew is back and the civilians are with the old man. We can now concentrate on blowing the base up." "Then let's do it," says Shepard guiding the team to the next crossroad and Shepard says, "Alright, Abigail, Samara, Grunt, and Thane on me. We will go through the room full of bugs. I want Abigail to erect a barrier for us to pass the room while Logan leads the others through the other way distracting the enemy again like before. We will open the door from the other side."

"Alright, just make it fast. We will be waiting on the other side," says Logan and moves out with his people saying, "Let's make the best we can keep your partner save like before and we should make it out of here alive. Garrus you are in command of the second team that my wife was leading only that you get Sion and Tali as extras." "Alright," says Garrus and they begin their assault to the top.

In the meantime, Shepard was fighting her way through the bug-infested room with the others while Abigail was covering them with her barrier. "Why do they always have bugs as pets," says Shepard and Abigail asks, "What do you mean?" "The last time with Saren they had the Rachni on their side they look like giant bugs. And now they have those little bugs that decimate you into fluid for something that only God knows," says Shepard and Abigail says, "That's nothing ever fought a giant spider. They can grow pretty big even a dragonling could have a problem against something like that. I had to fight against that almost always we entered a cave in Thedas."

"Giant spiders the last thing I want to fight against. I hate spiders," says Shepard and Abigail says, "Your brother too. But that didn't stop him killing the spiders or when Malcolm came home with a spider as a pet until I crushed it thinking it was a random spider. Your nephew cried the whole day after I have done it. He forgot about it fast thanks to Logan gifting him his first weapon." They pass through the room quiet smoothly and arrived at the door and pass it and Shepard says over the com, "Logan we are in position what about you?"

"We were waiting. Don't open the door," says Logan over the com. Logan looks to his son and Ino and says, "You two jump over to Abigail's side if we open the door they will follow us inside the like this we can buy more time." "Alright, everyone fast women to Ino males to me we are going to jump over," says Sion and everyone does as said and disappear from their position with Ino and Sion and Shepard says over the com to Logan, "Alright, they are here now jump you too." "I'm doing my best. I almost don't have more chakra. The jump to earth with all these people drained me if it. Tell Sion to raise his Ki a bit and I will jump over," says Logan and Shepard says, "You heard your father."

Sion begins to raise his ki and Logan jumps over with Teleportation and says, "You did well. Now stop emitting your ki we still need to keep it secret against the Reapers. Let's take a quick break and then move forward." "Good idea. I will need you for the last step. Also Abigail and Garrus you will be in command over the team. Logan, Grunt and Miranda on me. After this little break, we will take our last step. Everything will be decided in the next minutes. I want you all to know that if I don't return or if you don't make it that it was an honor to have served beside you all. I hope to see you again after this is over to celebrate our victory over the Collectors," says Shepard and Garrus says, "I hope so too. It wouldn't be a party without our host."

After a 30-minute break, Shepard says, "Time to go." "When we leave and Shepard is about to explode the base get to the Normandy with everyone. Understood," says Logan and Sion says, "Yes, take care Dad." "Don't worry about me but about your mother, if something were to happen to me she would be destroyed by it," says Logan and leaves with Shepard and the others.

"How is your energy reserves?" asks Shepard and Logan says, "Almost full after eating two beans. Anyway ready for the last battle?" "Always," says Shepard and the four jumps on the platform and float away while the others stayed behind to cover them. Arriving in the middle of nowhere they find themselves looking at a giant half build human-looking Reaper and Shepard says, "They are manufacturing Reapers here that's why they were kidnapping colonists look the tubes. Inside them is the fluid the bugs made out of the humans they kill in the capsules."

"Poor bastards," says Zaeed and Grunt says, "Are we going to fight this. If yes I'm in." "Can't you think of other things than fighting?" asks Miranda and Logan says, "I think it is deactivated because it isn't fully built yet." "Whatever we need to destroy it," says Shepard and Logan says, "That is easily done give me a second." Logan then forms a Rasen-Shuriken and throws it against the Reaper making a hole in it. The Reaper awakens and Shepard says, "Now you woke it up." "Well, it seems Grunts wish came true. And we will have to fight it," says Logan and prepares to fight the Reaper.

In the meantime, the other team was fighting the Collectors and their leader the Harbinger. "It's you again still not showing your real face as it seems," says Abigail while killing it easily with magic while the Harbinger takes over another body and says, "My real body is too valuable to lose it." "Too bad for you then," says Abigail killing him again with some other Collectors that were around him. "Your mother could take care of everything alone at least it looks like it," says Garrus and Sion says, "That's because she has to keep up with my father."

Back to Logan who was fighting with Shepard and the other against the Reaper. The Reaper was regenerating from the hole Logan made into it. When Shepard shot against a tube and it broke quite easily making the Reaper angry and says, "Shoot against the tubes. So it can't recover from the damage we do to him." They begin to attack the tube breaking then and the Reaper falls down onto the platform they were standing on. Grunt then says, "It seems it is over." And the Reaper began to move again and Miranda hits Grunts back saying, "Why did you jinx it."

"The Reaper uses his hand and wanted to crush them under it but Logan catches it and says, "The only person that is allowed to do that is my wife. Jane attack the eyes and the heart fast." "You heard him. Attack the eyes and the heart," says Shepard and everyone shoots at it. While Logan was holding the hand of the Reaper so it couldn't move the other one that was gripping another platform so it wouldn't fall until they destroyed both eyes and Logan let go of the hand and uses again a Rasen-Shuriken this time just two times bigger than the last one and throws it against the heart of the Reaper making a big hole in the middle of the Reaper.

"Now it should be dead," says Logan who sees the Reaper fall down into the abyss and Shepard says, "Let's plant the bomb and leave." They plant it and then the Illusive Man coms Shepard saying, "Don't do this Shepard think about all the technology we could win from this. We could be the first in the Universe." And Logan hearing this says, "You are dreaming too much Jackie boy. Just let it go or I will have to make it for you." "And you are?" asks the Illusive Man and Logan answers, "Your worst nightmare. Now Jane let's make it explode."

Shepard ends the com with the Illusive man and coms the others. "Garrus, Abigail everything alright down there?" asks Shepard and Garrus says, "Abigail can't talk right now she is busy taking care of the enemy. We are fine down here. How is everything up there?" "We planted the bomb I want you to leave right now," says Shepard and Garrus says, "Sion we are leaving." "Alright, like before males to me females to Ino and we leave here fast," says Sion and Garrus says, "Alright, Shepard we are leaving see you on the Normandy."

"Good the others are leaving. Let's make the timer on a minute that should be enough. Joker prepare the Normandy we are leaving," says Shepard and Joker says, "Everything is ready just waiting for everyone to arrive." "Good start the engine we have a minute before the bomb explodes," says Shepard and Logan then says, "You will leave. I will see that it really burns down." And Logan sents them away to the Normandy. And Justice asks, "Are you sure about this?" "Yes, we have still work to do and kill Jackie boy before something bad happens as well as destroy the Alpha Relay so the Reapers are hindered a bit more," says Logan and Justice says, "Fine by me then." "It not like we won't meet them again after a week or two," says Logan and Justice disappears while everything around him explodes and Logan uses all his ki to detonate the whole base leaving only ashes.
