After talking for a while with Titania did Vincent stores the Black Emperor away before returning to the Cargo Bay to sleep for a while. He knew that he could go on without sleep for some days more but his reaction and thinking process would become slower the longer he didn't get some sleep.
Liara was working in the Medbay with Gardner assisting her as she was preparing Medi-gel for what was coming next while Joker was flying towards the Omega-4 Mass Relay while EDI and Titania were making sure that everything was working as it should.
After an hour they were floating beside the Omega-4 Relay and Titania says over the loudspeaker, "Everyone is ready we are doing this now."
"Everyone is ready and in position except for Mr. Highwind," says EDI informing Titania as Titania look in front of herself thinking about what could happen on the other side of the Relay.
She closes her eyes before taking a long breath thinking over and over the possibilities of survival when Tristan puts his hand on her left shoulder bringing her back.
"We all know for what we signed up by taking this mission," says Tristan when they hear the elevator door open and Vincent comes out of it surprising them.
"Are we going to get them back or what?" asks Vincent in a comical way trying to make them feel confident so the tension doesn't become too much for them.
Provus, Ikora, and Ishly followed Vincent to the second deck as Vincent looked at them and says, "We aren't as talented as Naosane when it comes to Magic but we should be able to create a barrier that protects the Normandy at least for a while."
"Naosane is more talented than you in Magic?" asks Titania surprised as Vincent smiles.
"He inherited that from his grandmother if my father-in-law is saying the truth all those centuries," says Vincent as they get in position before a barrier surrounds the Normandy.
"Like said before it will only last for a short while since our Magicka isn't endless," says Ishly concentrating as Titania nods.
"Joker, full speed ahead," says Titania with determination as Joker prepared the Normandy.
"Aye, Commander," says Joker before saying, "Everyone brace yourself this will be a turbulent trip."
He flies towards the Mass Relay when the Normandy began to be covered by the red E-Zero before shooting out towards wherever that Mass Relay leads.
They arrive at their destination when they find themselves on a ship graveyard going by all the destroyed ships around them when they hear something clash against the barrier.
"What was that?" asks Titania as she was nervous.
"That was some loose pieces of the shipwrecks around us," says Joker as he looked around and he says, "It seems we haven't been noticed yet. But our engine needs to restart before we can move again."
"Try to camouflage us until the engine is ready again," says Titania as Joker works on it when Tristan notices some objects on the radar.
"We have enemies incoming," says Tristan as Titania looked towards the group of four before looking forward.
"Joker, how long until the engine is back?" asks Titania seriously.
"A minute maybe two," says Joker having no clue when EDI pops up.
"A minute and ten seconds, Commander," says EDI informing Titania about the exact time the engine needed to restart.
"Once we can move we need to get out of here," says Titania as they were in a critical situation when she asks through the loudspeaker, "Can we use the Cannon, Garrus?"
"We can but we won't be able to aim at the enemy if it doesn't come from beneath the Normandy," says Garrus informing Titania about the situation when more points appear on the radar.
The engine returned and Joker began to steer the Normandy through the debris of the graveyard trying to escape the incoming enemies.
"Attack incoming!" shouts Tristan as Titania flinches.
"Keep flying as if it is nothing. Vlad," says Vincent as Vlad appears out of Provus's shadow.
"What do you need my Emperor," says Vlad as Vincent smiles.
"Do you remember the War against Akavir when I turned myself into a Magicka Battery for all the mages to take down the Ice Empire of the Kamal?" asks Vincent as Vlad nods and Vincent says, "I want you to take my place."
"Of course," says Vlad as he takes Vincent's position when Vincent sits down between the four holding the barrier and begins to pour Magicka out of his body.
The Magicka enters the four as Vincent was reciting something in an unknown language to most of the people in the same room.
Ishly, Ikora, and Provus felt less pressure on their body as the Magicka was entering their body when they feel something repeatedly hitting the barrier.
"The enemy is hitting us. But the barrier is still holding," says Vlad informing Titania as Joker was steering through a destroyed ship trying to get the enemy off their tail.
"Guys, I need to get through some narrows corridors and the barrier might be in the way," says Joker as Titania looked at the group of five.
"Concentrated and try to make it a second skin," says Vincent to the four as Vlad begins to form the barrier followed by Ikora while Provus and Ishly were having trouble.
Vincent stands up and helps them while saying, "Breathe and imagine it in your mind. See how it forms right in front of your mental eyes."
Provus and Ishly began to form their part of the barrier making it lie over the Normandy like a coat before Joker entered the narrow corridor.
It takes more Magicka out of them which Vincent supplied to them at the same time as he was reciting again.
"What is he reciting the whole time over and over again?" asks Titania confused since she couldn't understand a word.
"I am the Dragonborn, the man born with the soul and blood of a Dragon. I am the Dragonking, the man that rules over all Dragons. I am the First Emperor, the man that united Nirn under one Banner. I am Vincent Highwind, the man that will one day ascend to Godhood," says Vlad as Titania was confused.
"In the stated in which Vincent is at the moment, he can forget what or who he is and if worse comes to worst. He can suffer the same fate as a scholar named Septimus Signus who realized his place in the Universe and disintegrated into ashes," says Vlad as Titania was shocked to hear that as were the others.
"He is reminding himself who he is until we reach our destination," says Vlad as Joker succeeded in destroying some of their chasers by using the environment.
"Garrus, shoot the cannon or this corridor will be our death," says Joker seeing a dead-end in front of him.
"On it," says Garrus as he shoots the cannon at the wall in front of them opening a way for the Normandy.
"I think it is too small," says Garrus as Kaidan saw it when Joker rushed straight at it.
"Joker it is too small to maneuver through it," says Kaidan as Joker didn't want to hear Kaidan.
"It might be too small for a normal pilot but not for me," says Joker with confidence as he spins the Normandy to evade the enemy fire.
The Normandy was diagonally and upside down with his left side pointing down when Joker stopped spinning it He flies through the hole Garrus created for them when they hear something crashing behind them.
Joker gives a shout of excitement from himself while flying towards the Collector base when they see the Collector aim at them.
"That doesn't look good," says Joker as he was trying to evade the Collector base which was coming towards them.
"What doesn't look good?" asks Titania nervous since her guts were telling her that something bad was about to happen.
"Remember that beam that shot us down before when you got killed? The same thing is aiming at us at the moment," says Kaidan seriously as he was seeing what Joker was seeing.
"Fly right inside it. Maybe we can surprise them that way," says Vlad suggesting to take the beam head-on.
"This isn't an Imperial Dreadnought. This is a normal ship compared to it," says Tali over the loudspeaker telling Titania it was a bad idea.
"Fly right into it," says Vincent as his eyes were shining brightly looking like they were made out of light.
"I will make sure that they all have enough Magicka to hold the barrier. Most of the pressure will be on Vlad and me while the other three will only feel a slight increase in pressure," says Vincent seriously as his face was showing some cracks on which Light seemed to space his body.
"You heard the man. Joker, full speed ahead," says Titania as Joker flies straight at the enemy Dreadnought.
It shoots directly at them and Joker didn't evade the attack making the Normandy take the attack head-on as Titania commanded.
The Normandy was shaking madly as the barrier was glowing red when Vlad seemed to turn paler than he already was when the barrier breaks and the Normandy's shield begin to take over when Vincent puts his hand on his old friend's shoulder.
"That isn't all you can do, Legionary. I remember the day we met each other. You were fighting your own kin to protect the Balance between Men and Vampires. Back then you were outnumbered and still pushed forward," says Vincent as he cuts his wrist and he pushed it before Vlad's mouth who began to drink Vincent's blood.
He regained his strength before he erected the barrier again when EDI says, "The shields are at ten percent. A bit longer and we all would have been dead."
They reached the end of the beam when Titania shouts, "Garrus, now!"
Garrus shoots the new cannon directly at the enemy's main cannon taking the enemy by surprise since they thought that the Normandy was done for.
The barrier falls and Vincent sees that before he runs towards the bridge while putting his helmet on when he says, "Vigilance, prepare the Demon King."
"The Demon King, are you sure? We never completed it. It is as unstable as-," says Vigilance as Vincent smiles and Vigilance realized what Vincent wanted to do.
"The Demon King it is," says Vigilance as Vincent suddenly jumped before he vanished into tiny particles before appearing over the Normandy when a Black Platinum Starlight which wasn't completed yet.
Vigilance beams Vincent inside who activates the engine and pushes the red button which has a skull painted on it.
The Demon King began to overheat as Vincent takes a crowbar and locks the steering wheel before Vigilance takes him out of the Demon King making him land on the Normandy.
He runs on the ship towards the nose before jumping and dematerializing and appearing in the ship again.
He takes his helmet off and looks in front of him as Joker asks, "What is going to happen next?"
"A big boom," says Vigilance as the Demon King entered the ship through where the main cannon was before.
Joker was confused as no explosion happened when suddenly a giant explosion was heard which even made the Normandy shake violently making Joker and Kaidan lose control as they crashed the Normandy into the Collector Base.
