Flaggorn had finally made his way to Millin's largest moon, where the weapons facility was located. He was so close he could taste the sweet revenge in his mouth, it tasted like a sweet nectar one would saver for all eternity. As he planed, he left a vehicle two miles away from his destination, out of range of the gun. It was night time, the huge ice planet of Millin replacing where one would expect to find a moon, yet it filled the sky all the same if not more. On the moon it was only one season, winter. The was a cold that froze the sweat from the Krogan's brow. No life lived on Millin, there was only ice and those who travelled here.
Flaggorn approached the entrance to the base to see that, as he expected, it was heavily guarded. An Elcor adorning large green armour with a large weapon emplacement on its back being manned by a Mech. Next to this lumbering beast was a Turian, also wearing green, armed with a sniper rifle and wearing a small, yet effective jump pack. "These guy's seem heavily armed" he thought to himself "It's not as if they're expecting me, are they?" His mind raced to think of a back up plan if this was the case, however he surely thought that if they knew they were expecting company they would have placed more than an Elcor and a Turian on the front door. Flaggorn's thoughts instead turned to the matter of taking these two down without raising any alarms. That would be the challenge, as Elcor are famously hard to take down without a fight, a fight that would most probably raise any form of alarm system.
The Vanguard had only brought three things with him, his personalised shotgun that he had used on many missions, his armour that focused on making his barriers as powerful as possible, allowing him to take a couple of hits and a omni-tool for getting into any locked doors inside. All of which didn't really help in taking down a number of guards... or would they...
Flaggorn armed his Omni-tool and tried to connect to his vehicle two miles away, he sent the signal and waited, only moments later the small fighter came flying past the front door at such a tremendous speed it knocked the Turian flat on his ass. Then Flaggorn listened into the radio conversation.
"What in fuck was that Grel"
"Alerted - Nothing sir, only a vehicle travelling past at tremendous speeds"
"Well go and check it out you great big bastard"
"Submissively - Yes sir, right away sir"
The distraction seemed to work, the two guards at the door ran off into the distance after the vehicle. Considering Flaggorn set the fighter to do an enter lap around the planet it was safe to say they were going to be gone a while.
He then took the opportunity to start making his way through the base. He dropped down from above the door and made his fall as quite as possible by crouching down into the fall. He then used his Omni-tool and started to crack the lock... after about a minute the high security door opened. It opened into a large corridor which lead deeper into the earth. Its walls were as white as snow and this path was incredibly well lit, so much so it made Flaggorns' eyes sting just by looking into the hallway after being out side in the thick of night.
The Krogan followed the long and bright hall all the way down for what seemed like an entire hour. When he looked up he no longer could see the door from which he entered, only white. He eventually reached another door and began to hack this, being certain that at least one camera had spotted him coming down this hall way due to how long of a hallway it was. The door slammed open like it was being forced open by a thousand Elcor, When Flaggorn stared into what was in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes.
What he expected was something similar to the lab which he was in two years ago where the 'demonstration' had occurred, with science equipment around and lab hands franticly going about there business. Instead what he saw was nothing short of a military base. As far as he went down there were thousands of cat-walks going up into the top of the building (high enough to reach just bellow the surface). As Flaggorn moved forward to the end of the balcony of the floor he was on and looked down he could see that there were even more Cat-walks heading down. Scattered around were all sorts of guards, dressed in green armour from all sorts of different races some he recognised, some he didn't.
Flying around the base were small green armoured Volus's aboard little saucer like platforms with gravitational tractor beams for carrying boxes of equipment around the base. On each of the cat walks were lines of guards marching around and at the very, very bottom of the base was a large production line making things that Flaggorn couldn't make out... what ever they were, they were big.
"Aggressively - Halt" Came a voice from behind the Krogan. There and behold was an Elcor, rather out of breath, the same Elcor he had sent on his little wild goose chase, they must have come back after knowing someone had snuck behind them. Although an Elcor's facial expression was subtle, Flaggorn could tell that it was pissed. It leant down, pointing it's large cannon right towards the Krogan.
"Only one thing for it" He thought. As he leap backwards off the balcony and began to free fall down at incredible speeds. Time seemed to almost slow down as Flaggorn turned to position himself facing down, balconies flying past him and blinding speed. Flaggorn had remember an old trick used by Orbital strike troopers during the Rachni wars. He engaged his biotic amp and prepared to punch the floor as he hit the ground.
The boom created by the impact of the landing created a small explosion that blew up a small number of surrounding factories around him... So much for being sneaky. Alarms began to ring all around the facility white lights turned to red, an army of men began to rappel, jump back, and hover down towards him. Flaggorn knowing that the time for subterfuge had passed, brandished his shotgun and began to fire on all those coming towards him in a tremendous display of destruction and power.
As bodies began to fall down onto the ground Flaggorn used them as makeshift cover against those coming towards him already on the ground level. He had even picked up on of the solderers M-99 Saber and use that to quickly attack would-be solders of honour. However , despite how well he was doing and the fact his kill count of quickly reaching the fifties and sixties, this did nothing to slow down the progressive swarm that was marching towards him. After seeing even Hanar were entering the battle he knew that it was time to get out of the fire fight.
As the Vanguards Biotic-amp started to shine with a vibrant blue all the solderers began to look for cover, not knowing if he was going to just throw an unlucky victim into the sky or if he was going to cause another explosion. What actually happened was a bit of both. Flaggorn launched himself into the sky whizzing past at well over the speed of sound he then reached to roof, pushed off against it with his feet, and made his way down again via another biotic charge. As he hit the now weakened floor Flaggorn instead of smashing against it went right through it, right into another lower factory which also went down for miles, Flaggorn seemed to only speed up as he fell down past hundreds more cat-walks and smashing through more floors and passing even more cat-walks. As he went further into the base the more the pressure of being further underground effected him. Eventually he hit the ground floor and created such a large explosion that the ENTIRE collection of cat walks on this level blew apart at the shear power of it all. The blast was so powerful that the entire underground base started to shake.
As everything began to slowly hit the ground Flaggorn shouted the simple phrase -
"KNOCK, KNOCK MOTHERFUCKER!"
