"he got himself killed... He finally got himself killed..."
[b]john repeats to himself, he sits in his wooden cabin and dons the mask of his predecessors. He picks up the corpse and walks toward the pit in the center of the town. He throws the corpse in to the Hole and covers it in lighter fluid, finally setting it ablaze.[/b]
"See you on the day of the dead, brother..."
[b]he speaks to the Shepards over an intercom the next day[/b]
"as you have likely heard... Shepard aka, Lucas, has been killed by one of the few remaining fear mongers. I, being next of kin, and at his request, have been appointed as the new king of the Shepards..."
[b]he lays back on a torn and nearly ruined couch and turns on a TV, trying to take his mind off of what the hell had just gone down.[/b]

[b]he follows Tara[/b] "I'm not letting you fight him alone"
-
She finds her at a familiar window. "I won't." A single tear falls off her face.
-
"I.. I'm so sorry" [b]he gazes out of the window next to her and throws his arm around her shoulder[/b]
-
She pushes him away.
-
"Tara... Please... Let me help you."
-
"You'll die if you do, they all will." Tears stream down her face.
-
[b]he hugs her[/b] "It's okay.. I'd be glad to die for someone like you..."
-
"But..." She falls to her knees.
-
[b]he stops her from falling and picks her up, laying her down on a nearby bench and sitting in front of it.[/b] "I don't care if I die fighting mate... If I've learned anything from Shepard, it's that there's no more glorious way to die than protecting those you care for..."
-
"I just want it to end." Her eyes are red with tears.
-
"I do too... But I will not rest until I can sleep soundly knowing my people are safe, until that day, I fight on." [b]he sits next to her[/b]
-
She glows a faint blue. "Then you're already dead."
-
"Not until someone kills me." [b]he smirks[/b]
-
A ship appears out of the window, Roger is at the helm. "Ah, he fixed the ship." It looks like the Nyx Reaver but not nearly as evil.
-
"Uhh... What is that?!" [b]he draws the gun and rushes to protect Tara, not knowing what the ship is or that Roger is piloting it[/b]
-
"Calm down, it's my ship. I call it the Astro Flame."
-
[b]he drops the gun [/b] "thank. God."
-
Roger appears in the window and waves. Tara smiles weakly and waves back.
-
[b]he picks up Tara and runs for the hangar[/b]
-
"Whoa!"
-
[b]he laughs a bit and meets Roger at the very end of the hangar [/b]
-
"Hey." Tara hops down.
-
"Heh... Sorry Tara. What's up man? She's kind of in what you sane people call "internal turmoil" but since I drown out my fears and logical reasonings in madness I have cured myself of such ailments..."
-
Roger takes him aside and Tara wanders off into the ship. "Listen, I need to tell you something."
-
"Oh god... What is it." [b]he seems to ready himself for a fight[/b]
