Matteo landed on Thessi crashing. All systems whether targeting or engine were dead. Rosalia being in serious condition failed to recharge the field. Numerous things burned out during the battle with the Cerberus army , mercenaries , bounty hunters and asari warriors. The screens flicked red indicating the numerous damages. Matteo got up from his seat - he was all sore, his face and armor were covered with the blood of his enemies. Anger flowed through his veins - he had been used by Ne'rra just to draw attention to himself, and in the meantime the Asari Order had not only mercilessly murdered innocents and other people, but had found his missing daughter Jubilee, Mistress Arla Jareni, padawan Damian Reese, and found lost artifacts of an unknown ancient race. He felt that he had no more strength - he fell to one knee quickly catching air. Then Rosalia appeared looking at Shepard.

"Matteo!" She called out worrying about her friend. He looked at her still breathing.

"I have to . . . I have to get to the temple . . . I have to save them . I won't let Ne'rra kill them . No . ."

"Not in this condition. You won't be able to get there - you used a lot of biotic energy during the fight not only with the Illusive man but also the rest of the people sent by Elder Mother Ne'rra. Add to that the battle in space , which I suffered heavily - and still do. With the help of your Power, you created the field and saved me from the disintegration of my system into a fine poppy. You are wonderful!" Rosalia said finishing cheerfully. Matteo laughed coughing.

"You always have a sense of humor , when the situation is hopeless?"

"As I said - that's my program. Do you have any ideas?" She asked. Matteo saw that on the radar of approaching enemies - he guessed that it was the Ne'rra army wanting to catch Shepard and bring him before her. Matt began to stand up slowly putting his hand on the chair.

"Are the cannons working?" He asked pointing toward the cockpit exit.

"Yes they are working , but they can get seriously damaged at any time. I should understand your thinking but in the state I am in I can't understand anything," Rosalia announced.

"We will make 'Saber' a fortress. I will go to the armory , take all the weapons , grenades and mines. If I make it in time I will have an advantage over them. They won't know what will hit them," Matteo said going to the armory. Rosalia had another confusion in her virtual head.

'It's suicide. Even for you!'

Matteo stood still.

"I will die or die tryin" After these words, he moved further into the armory getting ready to defend himself.

The army of the Asari Order arrived on the scene. They turned off their speeder and took their weapons. They had the support of the best Asari female warriors. The leader of the team stopped in place while , his men walked on. One of the soldiers stepped on a mine causing a chain reaction and killing several soldiers. Matteo then opened fire with his blaster and began eliminating the rest. The Asari warriors created a field to deflect the bullets. Then the cannon advanced from above and began destroying the speeder. One by one, the Asari Order vehicles exploded from the heavy gunfire. Matteo used the Force to raise all the weapons and flexed two fingers in his hands, opening fire and forcing the enemy to retreat. The asari held the shield as best they could. One of them looked at the younger warrior.

"Go inside his ship and capture him. According to the Mother's orders."

"Yes Mistress" The young warrior girl lowered her shield and moved to the rear of the ship. After quickly reaching her destination , she unsheathed her lightsaber from her belt and made a hole big enough to fit through and go inside.

When , she got inside she used the Force to find Shepard. She followed the harmony of his Force - it was aggressive and had the smell of sweat and blood. You could feel the pain coming from the numerous wounds. She walked through the corridor feeling more of his harmonies. She quickly found him - he was at the wall in which he had made numerous holes allowing him to shoot at enemies. She ignited her lightsaber drawing Shepard's attention.

"In the name of the Asari Order and in the Name of the Mother you are to surrender!"

Matteo stopped firing his weapons and looked at the girl. He took his lightsaber in hand and ignited it while assuming the position.

"Such a young lady , who instead of leaving the Order and creating your own future you stayed in this brothel following blind orders from this Rot."

"Mother , just like my sisters you are considered a threat to the Order! I give you one last chance a . . . " Then Matteo attacked the Asari by striking hard with his wedge. The girl retreated backwards defending herself from the Earthling's attacks. Matteo used the Force , to push her and forcing her to lower her lightsaber . When , this happened Shepard drove his blade into her stomach - blue blood flowed from her body dripping onto the floor. Matteo pulled the blade from her body letting her body fall to the ground. The last thing he heard was an exhalation of air from Asari's mouth. Matt looked at her - too bad he killed her . . . she would have been useful to him.

"Another sister who fell by your gun is dead. Another victim , another member with a wasted future . Mother was right - you may be bestial , but for that you are the perfect tool that we have used very well" Said a voice from behind . Matteo turned around and saw the shadow of three figures. Shepard planned to attack them but one of the figures threw a small bomb with blue smoke - sleep smoke. Matt began to feel dizzy. He deactivated his lightsaber falling to the ground.

"What's going on brother? Are you getting weaker? My gas is filling your veins. You will fall unconscious for hours. But , before you pass out, tell me why you are such a son of a bitch?" She asked. Matteo looked at her slowly closing his eyes

"Go Fuck . . . yourself" Matteo grumbled falling to the ground. The female warrior leader looked at him and kicked him in the head for reassurance.

"Take him and get him off the ship. If we have any transport left we'll load him up and head for the temple. Otherwise , we will take his ship and fly it to the temple. Execute," she said. All the female warriors nodded their heads. Two of them took Matteo by the legs and carried him off the ship. The team leader went to the cockpit. When she went inside she saw Rosalia - her body was red , she was upset.

"You have no right to be here! You hear what I say to you bitch! You have no right of authorization here. I won't let you move this ship even a millimeter!" She threatened her. The lady captain looked at her. She ignited her lightsaber and slammed it into Rosala's CPU. The woman screamed in pain.

"No , don't do this to me! Stop , it hurts!"

"Well , I didn't know that creatures like you felt pain. Maybe I should press harder?" Asari thrust her blade deeper into the CPU causing Rosala to feel a hellish pain. Then her body began to fade - all elements slowly evaporated.

"My creator will avenge me!" Rosalia shouted her last final words.

"Sooner I'll get him first" Asari took the lightsaber out of the processor and cut it in half. The pieces fell to the floor - Rosalia officially ceased to exist. The woman looked at the cut hologram one last time and walked out holding her lightsaber.

After exiting the 'Saber', the Asari Warriors strapped Matteo to the speeder. The captain looked at them - one of her female warriors approached her.

"Ma'am. Connection from Mother " She took out a holocommunicator and turned it on. Ne'rra appeared on the hologram with her hands behind her.

"Captain , were you successful?" She asked.

"Yes , Mother. The target was captured alive. We are returning to the temple," she answered.

"Good. Our 'Guests' are ready. Come back as soon as possible." Ne'rra said. The captain nodded.

"What about his ship Mother?" The captain asked

"Burn it" After a moment she parted. The Captain used her Force to destroy the ship - the 'Saber' exploded creating fire all around. Then she and her female warriors boarded the speeder and headed for the temple.

A few hours later.

Matteo was in the main hall of the Asari Order. His hands were bound. His body had not yet recovered. Around him were members of the Asari Order , in front of him were people with bags on their heads. Then Ne'rra walked up to him and knelt in front of him kissing his head.

"Is this some kind of joke?" Matteo muttered slowly waking up to life. Ne'rra smiled.

"No , this is not a joke big brother. Maybe rather Matteo Lorien Shepard or I should use the name in our language - Mat'teo T'soni. I am glad , that you have visited our temple." She smiled.

"Where are they!" Matteo shouted. Ne'rra moved closer to him showing her blue breasts spreading a smile on her lips.

"Do you remember our first time? For you the first sex in your life , and for me the first experience with the male sex. I remember how it was yesterday - you and me. Full moon . . . "

"Stop this crap! Tell me where they are!" Matteo interrupted her. Ne'rra hid her breasts and stood up. She approached the people with bags on their heads.

"You mean the girl , who is your daughter? - she took off the bag showing Ellie - Force -sensitive second daughter - she took off the second bag showing Jubilee - Master and Padawan , whom you saved lives - she took off two bags showing Arla Jarelni and Damian Reese. She approached the last person and quickly pulled the bag from her head showing Kira Nes - and a traitor to the evil regime. Who do you think I'll kill first?"

"Just try to touch them and you'll regret it" Then Matteo got punch in the face. Ne'rra hit him again.

"You know , but you are useful. I mean you were - we distracted you perfectly. You didn't notice anything , you murdered those people just to distract from everyone. Thanks to you, we were able to recover many artifacts belonging to an ancient race from another galaxy - Peridea. With these items, we will be able to fight the Empire and destroy it once and for all."

Matteo felt his strength return. He yanked the cord , with which he had his hands tied, and stood up, drawing his lightsaber. With the Force he pushed away the Asari Warriors . He pushed Ne'rra far away from the hostages. He approached them and released Eliie , Jubilee , Arla , Damian and Kira. Eliie and Jubilee hugged him.

"We missed you," they announced. Matteo reciprocated the hug - tears flew from his eyes.

"I missed you too. Jubilee I thought you were dead" He looked at his other foster daughter.

"I'm alive Dad - it wasn't easy , but I managed to survive the purge - she saw Ne'rra getting up from the ground - Dad look!

Matteo turned around and saw Ne'rra rising from the ground. He let go of the hug and moved on her with his lightsaber ignited.

"Ellie , Jubilee run away! I'll meet you outside!"

"What about you?" Jubilee exclaimed.

"I have to finish what I started" Matteo looked at Ne'rra - Let's get this over with.

Matteo moved on Ne'rra with all his strength. Ne'rra ignited her lightsaber and clashed with his blade. The two collided , brandishing their lightsabers while blocking each other's attacks. Shepard found a small weak spot in the Mother. He attacked the spot wounding her. Ne'rra grabbed the spot and, thanks to the Force, jumped to the top. A group of Asari warriors appeared behind the Earthman.

"Sisters! Kill this traitor!" Ne'rra shouted. Matteo used the Force , to precipitate a bullet that threw one of the female warriors-Asari became ash. He then moved on the rest waving his lightsaber killing them , cutting off all sorts of clovers , killing them in an act of betrayal - he remembered how he ended up here after the death of his adoptive mother Liara T'Soni. He learned many fighting techniques and how to use the Force. He traveled the galaxy , to answer the question: who he is and what is his purpose in life . Then he joined the System Alliance . Further his story was still being written by the future .

Matt killed the last Asari warrior stabbed her in the stomach with his blade and then set off up the mountain after Mother Ne'rra - to her personal quarters .

When , he arrived at the place he noticed Ne'rra occupying some sort of sphere , which showed a map of the galaxy and another Galaxy known asp 'Peridea'. Shepard quickly ran up to her igniting his lightsaber and stabbing her in the back. Ne'rra fell to the ground dropping the sphere. Matteo deactivated his lightsaber and knelt beside her - all the surroundings disappeared. The entire world turned blue. Ne'rra looked at Matteo.

"Impossible , the Apprentice cannot defeat the Master".

"Nothing is true everything is allowed " Matteo answered.

"Go. Take your prize and finish my work for me"

"I don't understand" Matteo surprised.

"It's all . . . I did for the higher good. I wanted to bring something from another galaxy , to cleanse our galaxy from all evil .

"You are crazy . Even a person like you knows that this can claim many innocent lives.

"Everything has a price." Ne'rra let out a breath and closed her eyes - she was gone . Matt left her body - all the surroundings returned, He went to the mysterious sphere at the same time hearing Ne'rra's voice in his head.

" And I decided then to know wisdom and knowledge , madness stupidity. I came to know that also this is the pursuit of the wind because in great wisdom - much affliction, and who causes knowledge - causes and suffering."

Matteo took the sphere - after a while a map of the galaxy and 'Peritea' - a new galaxy - was displayed. He closed it and left Mother quarters.

After leaving the temple, he saw Ellie , Jubilee , Arla , Damian and Kira. His daughters ran up to him and hugged him. The rest smiled at the sight of him. Matteo reciprocated the hug. After a few minutes, he let go and looked at his daughters.

"You are alive," Ellie rejoiced.

"I'm glad to see you" Matteo reciprocated the smile. Arla approached him with her arms crossed.

"So what's next Shepard? Do you have a plan?"

Then the Alliance cruisers appeared in the sky , which released the gunships - Before Matteo left the temples , he sent the coordinates to the Systems Alliance . He wondered if this was a good idea. He looked at Arla.

"Now . . . It's time to stand up to fight."
