(It has been a month since the attack on Thessia. Since then, word got out that the Asari people had begun to fight with an even greater resolve Due to the information of a light blue arc of energy destroying a swarm of reaper ships. Many say that they saw Mathew wielding his new sword and that he was the one who destroyed the reapers. Elsewhere Mathew, Arcee, and the crew of the Calida have been patrolling the different galaxies and taking out any Cerberus facilities they find. Currently, the Calida was flying alongside the Calimo and the Normandy while three Asari Light Cruisers flew right behind them)

" ( Looks at the digital form of  Shepard and Holly). So what exactly is going on mom? You wouldn't call me or the others if it wasn't important." Said Mathew. " I wanted to take you on a tour of the Citadel. That was until I received a transmission from a close ally named Thane. He says that the Citadel has been overrun with Cerberus Forces. ( Looks at  Holly). Holly, you, your sisters, Chromia, and Blue Streak need to assist our people with pushing back the Cerberus Forces.  ( Looks at Mathew). I'd like you to have the Asrai teams under you to assist with this. But that's all up to you." Said Shepard as an Asrai Commando appeared next to her.

" Commander Shepard, my name is Ta'sha.  We have overheard your conversation and have assigned the other Asrai cruisers to assist Commander Holly in forcing Cerberus Forces back. My team and Asri Commando leader. Rev'ra will assist Commander Darby. ( Looks at Mathew). Ready when you are Commander." Said Ta'sha. " Then it's settled. We'll see you down there Mathew, your team will rondevue with mine once we find out the situation down there." Said  Shepard as her hologram disappeared. " See you down there little bro." Said Holly as her hologram disappeared. " Commander, we'll follow your lead. My team and Rev'ra's will head down there when you do." Said Ta'sha as her hologram disappeared. "Alright team, let's get down there. Athena, Ambra, Causeway, Windblade, I'll see you in the hangar bay." Said Mathew as he left the com room. 

" ( Follows Mathew out of the com room while pressing a few buttons on a digital pad). Hey  Mathew, hold on a minute. I want to show you something that I found on the ship, follow me." Said Arcee as she and Mathew went to a hidden room across from the com room. " ( Looks around the room until he spots two pods with what seems to be two transmetal bodies within the pods). What are those?" Asked Mathew. " Techno Organic bodies. I had them aged up to that of an adult after I had found this room. All they need is for both you and me to place our hands on them. They've already got the needed military training from this world." Said Arcee. " When we activate them, what can I hope to expect from this?" Asked Mathew curiously. " They'll see us as their parents. They'll even go on missions with us. This will be fun since I was able to give myself a human form. Thanks to some help from Windblade and your mom Liara." Said Arcee. " Then let's welcome them to the world." Said Mathew as he placed his left hand on the Techno-organic while Arcee placed her right hand on the techno-organic pods one at a time which caused them to glow.

( As the Techno-organics began to shift and change into young women. One with dark brown long hair and the other with black long hair. As the light began to dim. A set of armor began to cover up the young women until they were covered in full sets of armor. Once that was done the young women began to open their eyes and then smiled at the sight of Mathew and Arcee)

" ( Smiles at both young women). Morning sleepy heads, I'm glad you could join us. From now on, we'll call you Natalie and you Loren. Welcome to the Calida." Said Arcee as she and Mathew backed up. " ( Gets out of the pod and then stands up in front of her parents). Glad to be here mom, dad. What's our first mission?" Asked Natalie." Yeah, I'm excited to see what we'll be doing first." Said  Loren. "You're with us and the other three members of our squad. Let's get a move on." Said Mathew as he, Arcee, Natalie, and  Loren ran to the hangar bay.

( Once in the hangar bay, Mathew and his team got in a shuttle and headed straight for the Citadel. Once there they arrived in the Citadel. The team quickly fought their way through the many different corridors while eliminating any Cerberus forces in their way. The group was then joined by Ta'sha and Rev'ra's teams)

( Natalie)

( Loren)

" Glad you guys could join us. We're making our way to Commander Shepard and her team." Said Mathew. " A friend of hers and the person in charge of security here has patched us into their coms.  Sounds like Cerberus has some kind of super soldier with them. A man with a red sword. A sword that can send an arc-like energy at his enemies." Said  Amber, missing the look of shock on Mahtew's face which Arcee caught. " How far are we from Shepard's team?" Asked Mathew. " Their three floors below us and are trying to push forward but whoever this guy is. He's keeping them pinned down. Why do you ask?" Asked Amber until they watched as Mathew took eight steps back before running and then jumping over the rail as he began to free-fall. " Oh no you don't we're coming to. ( Looks at Ta'sha and Rev'ra before grabbing Natalie and Loren while  Causeway grabbed  Amber and  Athena). Track our signal and meet up with us when you can. We're going to go help Shepard's team." Said Arcee as she and Causeway jumped over the rail while Windblade flew after them, once Ta'sha nodded her head.

( Meanwhile, over with Shepard a couple of minutes earlier)

" Tali, watch the left flank, Garuss take out that sniper." Said  Shepard as she rolled behind cover in order to dodge a red arc of energy that was launched at her. " Come now, Shepard. I thought you and your friends would put up more of a fight than this. Or is the great Shepard all bark and no bite?" Said a man in pure black armor with glowing red eyes coming from his helmet as he walked toward Shepard and her team with a red glowing blade in his right hand.

( Gallus Abdon and his sword)

" Who are you, and what did Cerberus promise you to make you become something like that?" Asked Shepard as she shot three Cerberus Centurions. " My name is Gallus Abdon, as for working with  Cerberus well. Let's just say that it's thanks to them that I can enjoy what I love most. Bringing misery to those deemed unworthy of living. "Said Gallus. " So what you're some kind of judge jury and executioner all in one." Said Garrus as he took out two Cerberus Snipers. "That's right turrian. But the kicker was that I got to kill the legendary Shepard.  Now then, shall we finish this? ( Swings his sword which sends an arc of red energy toward Shepard and her team. Only for it to be counteracted by an arc of blue energy). What, where did that come from?" Said  Gallus until he heard what sounded like someone yelling "Hey, dark knight". Before quickly looking up and using this word to block Mathew's blue sword.

( Mathew's sword)

( As the two Blades clashed, a shockwave of light blue and crimson red energy began to circulate around Mathew and Gallus. While Mathew was locked in a sword lock with Gallus. Arcee and  Causeway landed on the ground next to Shepard's group and then quickly put  Natalie, Loren, Amber, and Athena on the ground. The two then began to shoot at the  Cerberus mechs called Atlas. As Arcee and Causeway did that. Amber, Athena, Loren, and Natalie took cover next to Shepard and her group before firing on the Cerberus soldiers)

" ( Looks at  Mathew and then looks at his sword). Interesting, I did not think that there would be a sword out there. That could rival the power of the dark god Unicron." Said  Galuus which caused Mathew, Arcee, Causeway, and Windblade who had just flown in and sliced three Atles mechas in half. To gasp in shock at what he had just said. " What did you just say? Did you just say, Unicron?" Asked Mathew as he kicked off of Gallus and landed in front of Arcee and Causeway. " I deed I did. I am the first human servant of  Unicron the chaos bringer. Here to bring misery to any and all those in my way. ( Looks at Mathew's sword). Many people have tried to combat me, many have fallen before my sword. But yours. Your sword is the only one to have ever clashed with mine and held its own, matched it even.  ( Grin's with glee). the only energy that could possibly match that of my master. Is that of a disciple of Primus? ( Looks at  Mathew). Which means you are a human disciple of Primus, this will be interesting." Said  Gallus as he ran at Mathew and clashed blades with him which caused a barrier of crimson-red and sky-blue energy to form around them. 

" ( Looks at  Shepard and her team). Shepard, go now. Let us handle them. I spotted Ydina on my way here.  He and the council are heading to the upper levels  Ashely i with them for protection." Said  Windblade as she used the turbines on her wings to blast the door next to Shepard open."  Thanks Windblade. ( Looks at Mathew). Be careful Mathew, I don't want to lose you after just meeting you again." Said  Shepard as she and her team quickly ran through the open door.

( As the battle between Mathew's group and  Gallus's group continued. Shepard and her team were able to save the counselors while taking out Udina in the process)

" Looks like you were right again Shepard. I didn't think Udina would be this foolish. But to join Cerberus. Are there more like him out there?" Said Ashely. " I don't know Ash, but what I do know is this. Cerberus made a big mistake when they attacked the citadel. ( Contacts Holly, Ta'sha, Rev'ra, and Mathew). This is Commander Shepard,  the council is secure.  I need a sitrep." Said  Shepard. " This is Holly, My team with the help of the Asari where able to take out all Cerberus forces in our area.  We're clear here." Said Holly. " This is commander Ta'sha,  My team and  Rev'ra's have eliminated all Cerberus forces in our sector. But we were cut off from  Commander Darby and his team. We were supposed to  rondevue with them but were preoccupied." Said  Ta'sha. " Commander Darby, do you copy? ( Waits for a couple of minutes but doesn't hear anything). Mathew, do you read me?" Said  Shepard until they all heard an explosion and then looked at where it came from to see a firefight still going on over where she had last seen Mathew. 

" ( Looks threw his sniper rifle and then spots Mathew and Gallus still in a dual of swords while  Amber, Athena, Loren, and Natalie shoot at the Cerberus soldiers. While  Arcee, Windblade, and  Causeway destroy the remaining Atlas mechs). Shepard, you need to see this. Mathew's team is still in a battle with that Gallus guy and the Cerberus forces that were with him." Said Garrus. " ( Grits her teeth and then looks at  Ashely and  Bailey). Get the council to safety. Come on team. We need to go help my son and his team." Said  Shepard as she, Garrus, and Tali quickly ran back to help Mathew's group. " ( Looks at where Mathew was fighting and then typed out a hidden message on her omi-tool before regaining the rest of the council). You continue to amaze me  Savior of Thessia." Said the Asari council member.

( Over with Mathew)

" ( kicks Gallus away and then sends an arc of light blue energy at him only for him to dodge it by rolling away). Why would a human side with someone like Unicron,  it doesn't make any sense." Said Mathew. " The same reason why you are a disciple of Primus. Destiny and the fact that we were both chosen by our respective gods. We are the yin and the yang. Just like them, just on a smaller scale befitting our race. But with this power. We can become so much more." Said Gallus as he got into a sword stance. " So what we're demi gods because of these things. We're just soldiers  Gallus. We may have been chosen but these are not what makes us who we are. We decide that." Said  Mathew as he got into his own sword stance. " We shall see Warrior of Primus." Said  Gallus as he ran at  Mathew only to quickly jump back in order to dodge an explosive round that had hit the floor in front of him and then looked in the direction of where it came from to see Shepard's team along with, Holly's. " Back off my son, NOW! Your mission is a failure." Said  Shepard. " Is it, is it really? ( Swings his sword and sends an arc at the remaining Cerberus forces which kills them all).  Their mission may have failed but mine has just begun. ( Summons a shuttle and then jumps inside the shuttle before turning to look at Mathew). Until we meet again my rival. Till then, farewell for now." Said  Gallus as sh the shuttle door closed and it flew off.

" ( Watches Gallus's shuttle fly off before turning toward  Mathew and then quickly running toward him). Mathew, are you ok?" Asked  Shepard as she and Holly ran over to him. " (  Looks at his mother and sister before smiling and giving them a thumbs up while breathing heavily). I'm ok, just a bit tired. ( Looks at the sword in his right hand and then opens his hand to see the sword collapse and retract into his armor as it folds into a hatch on his armor's right arm side). That's going to take some getting used to." said  Mathew as  Arcee knelt next to him. " ( Contactes their shuttle). This is Shepard, area secure." Said  Shepard as two shuttles flew in and landed across from them.
