A tremendous clang of pieces cat-walks hitting metallic floor rang throughout the now rather hollow facility, now visibly miles down into the ground. There were still green mercenaries scurrying around this floor however rather than taking shots at the Krogan, they were much more concerned with fleeing for their lives whilst trying to avoid debris.
It was now a clear run towards the Drell, just through one final high security bulkhead door. The familiar display of blue light and force opened the door like a tin can and Flaggorn victoriously stepped through. The room he entered was unlike any other in the facility, but rather a giant aquarium that surrounded a walk way to another high security door. The vanguard could notice many sea creatures that he was familiar from the restaurants he frequented on different space stations in his time and others that he didn't.
There was one life form in the tank that he thought could have been a mermaid from Human mythology, however he soon realised that it was actually an Asari that had been drowned in the water and who's body was left to be eaten by the fish. There were all sorts of creatures, some ranging from the size of a small Pyjak and others the size of Thresher Maws all living in the same vast underground ocean.
"Typical place for a Drell to live" Flaggorn muttered under his breath as he walked the long hall way.
On the bulkhead door was a symbol that the Krogan guessed was the mercenaries emblem due to it and the circle around it barring that same leaf green colour that the mercenaries were wearing. It was a sea creature that looked too bizarre to be a real creature and Flaggorn figured he would have heard about it if it was indeed real. It appeared to be a form of Hybrid monster, half Krogan looking prehistoric bipedal creature from above the waist, squid like tentacles bellow ,with large Dragon heads coming from the chest and the sides of the waist. Underneath it was a simple name, finally something Flaggorn could associate with his enemy; "The Emerald Scylla" HQ.
The Krogan closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. He knew that beyond this door awaited his vengeance, the simple pulling of a trigger could be the end of his life as a mercenary, he could fight on for the survival of the galaxy and then from there... the sky's the limit. He charged his amp harder than he had ever charged it before, he stepped back, lunged forward and charged right through the door with a deafening warp.
As the the Vanguard slammed into the room he entered a large white room and there... were dozens of Emerald solders with weapons drawn along the walls and up above on a walkway that went across the middle of the room. And there in front of him was the smug looking Drell mounted on a gun emplacement armed with an assortments of gatling lasers and missile pods, the Drell wasn't taking chances!
"We... Meet....Again...." The Drell wheezed. It was now abundantly clear that this little amphibious man was reaching the good-old ripe old age of about 80 years old.
"Why, hello old man! See you gathered up some guests for our little shindig!" Flaggorn Jested
"Ha!...didn't want you crawling away again like the lame Varren you are, Krogan!"
No one insults Flaggorn and lives!
He reached behind his back to pull Sar'i'too out in front of him ready to enter into a bullet hell thunder dance (1.564 seconds) He dived out of the way of the incoming fire and fired three shots into different groups of assailants (4.217 seconds) he then charged across the room giving a chance for his barriers to refill and a chance to move and attack the upper walkway (5.542 seconds) He then rammed himself down the cat-walk punching, hitting and head butting all the men in the way (19.741 seconds) he then biotically charged behind the Drell who had just turned the heavy gun up towards the walkway and opened fire (1.428 seconds) Flaggorn then positioned himself behind his target grabbed his head and twisted it all the way round until he heard the click (5.041 seconds) He then armed the turret and blasted everyone else in the room into ash (14.545 seconds.)
In 51.988 seconds it was all over. Flaggorn had done it, he had defeated that bastard who betrayed him all those years ago. He was finally able to leave his life as a Mercenary behind and join the N7 allies initiative fully. He spent a moment, as he took the open elevator out of the military base that he had just single handedly annihilated, to think about what he would do next; like if there was any other back stabbers that he had to assassinate, when his omni-tool lit up like a super nova with a urgent message... from the Turian he had helped on Tyr again a Reaper invasion force.
