Vincent was walking around the ruins with the others fighting Heretics when they stood in front of a barrier and Titania says, "It seems we found the researchers. Let's hope they are alive."
Vincent and Mako suddenly whispered and they could see people inside the barrier and Mako says, "We should get the barrier down as fast as possible. The energize surrounding some of them is weak. They could die if we don't hurry."
"That bad is their situation," says Tristian worried as he walked over the console and tried to remove the barrier but he couldn't do anything about it when Vincent called Vigilance.
"Help him out we need to get the barrier down or we will have to use another means to enter it," says Vincent as Vigilance floated over towards Tristan.
They tried to deactivate the barrier but it didn't work when Vigilance says, "The barrier can only be deactivated from inside. It is no wonder that the Heretics didn't deactivate it already."
"Then we need someone from inside to open it," says Titania as her group nods.
"Or we need someone able to bypass the barrier and deactivated it from inside," says Vincent as he looked at Mako who nods before he turned to Vigilance who knew what was going to happen and disappeared.
Titania and the others were confused when they hear Mako and Vincent shout, "FEIM ZII GRON!"
They turned Ethereal as they passed through the barrier that way without trouble since no magic was involved in this barrier. Once on the other side, they looked for the console that should shut down the barrier.
They walked for a while when they find the researchers on the ground. They were trying to save as much energy as possible since their supplies seemed to have run down.
"It seems we arrived just in time," says Vincent as everyone looked at him and Mako.
"I think, I am hallucinating already," says one of the researchers as he leaned his body up to see Mako and Vincent.
Vincent grabs his bag and opens it bringing some of his old provisions out that he would use as an adventurer. He placed it on the table in the middle of the room before looking around finding the Asari they were looking for laying on the ground as well.
"You all should eat and drink while we deactivated the barrier to let the others inside," says Vincent as he walked to the console when Mako looks at him and smiles.
"You don't even have an idea on how to deactivate it, right," says Mako as she knew Vincent he is good with old tech but new tech isn't something he is good at.
"That's why I have my trusty friend by my side," says Vincent as Vigilance appears over his palm and begins to work.
"The humans seem alright but the Asari seems more exhausted than them," says Mako as she approaches the Asari.
She checked her out making sure that she was alright when she feels her forehead burning and says, "She is burning up it seems."
Vincent turned to the researchers and asks, "How can the Asari be burning up while you are all fine?"
"She was holding a biotic field up which hold the Geth outside until the barrier was activated," says one of the researchers making Vincent turn towards the Asari and Mako.
"She is a Biotic that means she has been under the influence of E-Zero since young most likely. That means that our magic won't work or will be weak," says Vincent as he kneels down beside Mako who was tending the Asari.
"You should give it a try. You are the only one that can use magic without thinking of its cost after all," says Mako as she was lifting the Asari up and gave her something to drink since food was not a priority at the moment.
"Even if I use my magic she will be weak," says Vincent as he looked at the Asari before saying, "And we don't know much of their biology either not like humans and the other races since it was impossible to infiltrate their society."
"Just give it a try for me," says Mako as she gave Vincent one of her looks that he can't resist.
"Fine, but if something goes wrong we are done with the whole Normandy matter," says Vincent as the Asari seemed to be a VIP in Titania's eyes.
Vincent places his hand on the Asari's forehead and began to cool her down at first as ice could be seen formed on his palm before light appeared in it which tried to enter her body but could only run down on the skin.
Vincent poured more Magicka out which surprised the researchers who only saw a blinding light coming from the trio's direction for awhile before the light faded and the Asari seemed to look healthier than before.
Vincent removed his hand from her chest and puts his finger under her nose to make sure she was still breathing. He feels her breath coming out of her nose making Vincent sigh in relief.
"She is alive and fine. Vigilance, how is the work on the barrier going on?" says Vincent as he left Mako in charge of the Asari and walked towards the console.
"The barrier is almost down. It seems the Heretics manipulated the source code after they couldn't pass through the barrier. I have to rewrite everything again," says Vigilance complaining that he needed to work.
"Can't I just do it old school and shut the power down instead of rewriting the deactivation protocol. We need to leave or the Vulcan will be our grave and not the Heretics lurking outside," says Vincent as Vigilance turns to Vincent and looks at him seriously.
"Do you want to be trapped in here forever? It is the very Vulcan that is powering this whole place. If you destroy the console nothing will come out of it except that our only way to save those people is destroyed," says Vigilance as Vincent grabs him and swings him around.
"Alright, we will do it your way. Just make it fast," says Vincent when the barrier deactivates.
"I was done the moment you had to swing me around," says Vigilance as Vincent smiles and looks at the researchers.
"I hope you all can walk since I won't be able to carry you all until we are outside the ruins. The Geth are still outside and a small Fireteam is probably fighting them off while we are speaking," says Vincent as the researcher wouldn't understand him if he said Heretics while Mako put the Asari over her shoulder.
"You can either follow us or die here from the lava that will be flooding the ruins soon," says Vincent when he sees the researchers weakly walk behind him while he pulled out his spear.
They walked towards the entrance where they find Titania and her group fighting against the Heretics when bullets come flying toward them.
Vincent was suddenly surrounded by Void Energy as he then stretches his hands out and a giant shield appears which stopped the bullets.
He looked behind him and find one of the researchers being wounded in the chest area when one of the other researchers tried to help him when Vincent shouts, "Leave it! Can't you see that he is already dead! Better you keep your head down and save your energy!"
"But-" says the researcher as Vincent glared at him while holding the shield up.
"Do you want to die?" asks Vincent seriously which made the researchers get chills all over their bodies as Vincent's eyes had a dangerous glint in them.
"No," says the researcher when Vincent turned around to look forward again.
"Then do as I say. I lead armies into victory before. I can lead you, lads, into victory too," says Vincent as he looked at Mako who nods and runs to a boulder that could cover the Asari.
She places the Asari down as Vincent takes a step forward moving the shield with him until it was only a step from the shield and said boulder and says, "You need to take one step towards that boulder. Once there keep your head down and wait until the fire stopped, do you all understand."
"Yes!" shouts the researchers as they took the last step some made it but another one died from a stray bullet that went through his cranium.
It was something those researchers would never forget going by the reaction they had on their faces. It wasn't the first time for Vincent to see someone die that way not was it for Mako and the researchers could see it as they weren't faced by what happened.
Suddenly the shield turned into a spear and Vincent threw it towards the Heretics. The others looked back and see Vincent standing there and they felt relieved when suddenly the spear exploded near the Heretics making them turn into nothingness.
"It's finally time for you to appear," says Titania joking about Vincent's grand entrance when she sees two dead researchers one before Vincent and another one some steps away from him.
"Are there more?" asks Titania as bullets were raining upon them.
"Yes, behind the border. But we should deal with the Heretics first," says Vincent as he summoned another of those Void Spears in his hand and throws it at a group of Heretics again.
After the Heretics were in chaos Titania and her team took the opportunity to rush at the Heretics clearing the corridor for now.
Vincent gives the signal to Mako who tells the researcher to move while she carries the Asari when they join Titania and Vincent asks, "Mina and Karliah?"
"They are fighting near the entrance of the ruin wanting to make sure that the Heretics don't bury us alive while we are inside," says Titania as Vincent nods.
"Yeah, they could just close the entrance which would make sure that we die in here. But we should move the VIP will be in Mako's hands until we are on the Normandy once there Dr. Chakwas should examine her," says Vincent as the Asari was still unconscious which worried Vincent.
"Then let us make a way for the researchers," says Titania as she leads the way while Vincent was making sure that the rear was clear.
