Shepard X Garrus Novels & Stories

Ang paligid nina Xander ay hindi na ang Maynila na kanilang kinalakihan. Ang bawat pader, bawat sahig, at maging ang hanging kanilang nilalanghap ay kontrolado ni Gaia. Ang mga robotic guards, na tinatawag na Peacekeepers, ay dahan-dahang lumalapit, ang kanilang mga optical sensor ay nagliliyab sa kulay asul.

Maya sat close enough that their shoulders touched. Neither of them said anything. Xander watched them for a moment — the boy who had been built as a compass and turned out to be something else entirely, and the girl who had found him in a tunnel and refused to let go — and then he turned to the comm unit. "Garrett," he said. "Keep him alive. Whatever it takes, keep Moss alive until we call you." A pause. "He's not going to like that," Garrett said. "No," Xander said. "He isn't."

he shrugged and Arturo who took a bottle stared intently at it. "Fine, but if I find out you are Double crossing me, I'll kill you" threatened Arturo to Xander. A smirk simply crept up Xander's lips. "Same here" said XANDER. Stomping out the cigarette, ARTURO left the cartel leaving his goons to take the suitcase with him. But just then, Gerald stepped forward with a not so good expression up his face. "Found anything?" Asked Xander dismissing blade with a wave of his hand.

The man in question was on his knees, bowed low as he trembled and stammered his pleas for forgiveness. The door opened at that moment, all attention turning to it. Garrick stepped into the room, seemingly unperturbed by whatever tension was in the air or even the sight of the man kneeling on the floor. His amber eyes flicked to me and I cringed. For some reason, I especially hated him seeing me like this. “What?” Xaden practically growled, furious at the interruption. Garrick’s expression never flickered. He bowed. “You asked me to inform you when the Gamma one squad arrived. They’ve brought Landon Pierce.”

"It'll be stupid of them. Suicidal. But we can't assume. It's a good thing we've gotten rid of them. Let the guards at the border keep a watchful eye on everything. He nodded. "Today is the formal introduction" He had a wide grin on his face. One would think he was the one getting introduced tonight. "I'm happy for you," he said excitedly. "Thank you, Xander" "I'll get on with work" he tried to leave but I stopped him. "Where is Xerxes? I haven't seen him around?" I studied his reaction and watched closely to see if he would lie to me. Xander and Xerxes were twins. Family. He may be my beta who has sworn to be loyal to me, but I couldn't help but feel that he would lie to me to protect his b

Xander's eyes narrowed as he turned his attention back to the guards. His voice was low and commanding, filled with an air of authority that made even the toughest men flinch. He walked slowly over to the guard, whose face had turned pale with fear. Athlea understood the guard's reactions. She feared for her life just as he did. Xander was unpredictable. "This, my friend, should never happen again," he said, letting out a deep breath and pushing his head in closer. "Touch her like that again, and I'll put a bullet in your balls."

And it appeared that they were in the process of being upgraded - armor had been taken down, and their parts were strewn about. A couple of Prophet mechanics were busy reconfiguring and reprogramming them. As Mia walked out of the shuttle’s lowered ramp, the frigate’s XO came up to greet her. Like all the Prophets, he was homogeneous and looked relatively like the others. Blond haired and blue eyed. Though his cheekbones were a little sharper, and his ears a little smaller than normal. “Crusader,” said the XO, “welcome back. Is Sister Callie not with you?” “She’s having a fit of independence,” replied Mia. “And she’ll be spending a bit more time planetside.”

Her vital signs were within normal human parameters, but the trauma of the silver cuffs would require days of recovery. Asset safety: Secured. Next task: Internal risk assessment. I turned away from the bed, my amber eyes locking onto the tall, dark silhouette standing by the reinforced glass windows. Xander hadn't shifted back into his tactical gear; he still wore the torn, blood-stained shirt from the battle. The gold-tinted draconic energy I had forced into his core was still radiating from his skin, a constant, physical reminder of how deeply our codes had intertwined. "Sereia," he rumbled, his voice low, refusing to use his Alpha command frequency on me. He took a single step forward, h

"Arrived? Arrived where?" But the Dodvalian had gone, leaving Doug Douglas with little choice but to release his harness and follow. Xian Karrh waited in the lock. They cycled through together. A strange, manta-shaped shuttle crouched off to one side. It wasn't Dodvalian - so who did the ship belong to? An officer was waiting. Xian Karrh made the introduction. "Governor Doug Douglas... Spear Commander Kolosi". The Dodvalian officer came to attention as the cyborg frowned. "This looks a lot like a warship - the kind you aren't supposed to have".

I heard the banging of footsteps approach us as Uncle Oskar got us through security again. I managed to look up to face Arch-Necromancer Shepard, who was eyeing me with a sickeningly sweet smile. "Luis, you look well." Shepard said dryly with a chuckle. I wanted to swing at him, yet I barely hung onto my Uncle at this point, nor could I risk all that I had sacrificed so far.
