The Ogre Awakens

The team was ready as Titania chose Garrus as the last member for this mission of retrieving the Graybox for Kasumi and the Ogre for Vincent.

Titania was in a black dress suited for a party as Vincent looks at her surprised as does Garrus since she would normally run around in her armor or uniform.

"I thought we were going to steal something and not join a banquet," says Vincent as Titania looked at him seriously.

"It wasn't my choice but it is our only way into the Lion's Den. I will be opening the way for you two with Kasumi from inside while you two deal with the men outside without being noticed," says Titania as Kasumi got some eye candy thanks to Titania being in a dress.

"I made myself the clown long enough let us go so I can remove this fancy dress and return to my beloved uniform," says Titania as they leave the Normandy.

Titania had an invitation that Kasumi received from her contacts as she was invisible standing beside Titania while Vincent and Garrus were in the jungle around the mansion.

"They get to attend some fancy banquet and we have to do the dirty work," says Vincent as he was holding a man between his arms while silencing him using his hand.

The man falls unconscious before Vincent lets go of him while Garrus says, "I wouldn't like it the other way. We have at least all the action while they only get to talk with some bricks."

"Now that I think about it, you are right. It is better to get our hands dirty instead of our ears. They are too difficult to clean compared to our hands," says Vincent in a funny tone as he continued to walk further in.

"Exactly, it is better and sometimes cleaner. We haven't killed one person until now," says Garrus as he was holding a stun gun.

"It's because we are lucky until now. But once we are inside the story will change," says Vincent seriously as they couldn't hold back once they were in the danger zone.

"Well, we can't change what happens inside but we can spare those we can. They will be grateful later on," says Garrus as they reached the rendezvous point without raising attention.

"Also, if we meet the Ogre and he awakens from his prison I want you to take the other two and run towards the Normandy even if we didn't retrieve the Graybox until then," says Vincent seriously as he had an ugly look on his face.

"Is it that dangerous?" asks Garrus worried about it as Vincent nods.

"Yes, I have seen one of them kill twenty men on its own. It is dangerous and will most likely go for Kasumi and Titania since they are women. We had one rule in the Deep Roads," says Vincent as Garrus could see anger in his eyes.

"Every woman should carry a dagger to end their life if they ever were in a situation of being captured by the enemy," says Vincent with anger in his tone just from remembering the Deep Roads.

He takes a deep breath in to calm himself down before releasing the air when he continues, "We didn't lose many people down there but the female soldiers were paranoid about the Darkspawn after killing the first Broodmothers since they could end up like them if they made one mistake."

"I don't want to hear more about this," says Garrus as he felt like he needed to throw up his last meal.

"Yeah, I should stop since the last Darkspawn is about to die," says Vincent as they waited for Kasumi to open the door.

"Can you two hear me?" asks Titania over her earpiece that looked like an earring.

"We are in position waiting for Kasumi," says Garrus as the door opens and Kasumi was behind it.

"Did you wait long for me?" asks Kasumi as Garrus and Vincent entered the mansion using the rear entrance which would normally be used by the guards.

"You came just in time," says Garrus as they entered the mansion.

They could hear the party over their heads when Vincent says, "It seems they all are having fun while under them is a fucking bioweapon that can exterminate the whole Galaxy before the Taken King or the Reapers."

"How do the people say 'Ignorance is a blessing.'," says Garrus joking about it.

"We in the Empire say 'Ignorance can get you killed.'," says Vincent joking about it as well before he continues, "But without it, there wouldn't exist fools that make this world so exciting. One of those fools was my father-in-law."

"Was?" asks Garrus curious about it.

"I had to kill the damn bastard since he wanted to create an eclipse that would last for eternity by using his daughter's blood and a bow that was made by Akatosh," says Vincent as they walked for a bit.

"You had to kill the father of your wife," says Kasumi shocked from hearing that.

"To my defense, Serana told me to kill him so we could live in peace without fearing retribution from him once he recovered," says Vincent as he turned towards them while they are waiting for Titania to arrive.

"Was he that crazy?" asks Garrus as he knew that Serana was quite normal for a Vampire.

"He was, trust me when I say that you don't want to encounter him," says Vincent as Titania found her way to their location.

"Have I missed something?" asks Titania as Vincent took her armor out of his bag as well as her weapons.

She changed into her armor while she asks, "Kasumi, you know where the Graybox is?"

"Yes, it should be nearby," says Kasumi as Titania signalizes her to show them the way.

Titania was holding her trusted Avenger in her hands as well as Garrus while Vincent was holding daggers (Honeshirazu) in his hand while in his Ninja-Set (Idealized Hattori Set) and Kasumi was holding her handgun.

"Not really flashy, your daggers," says Titania as normally Vincent's weapons would be surrounded by an aura.

"Well, daggers are made to assassinate someone and if they are flashy you are spotted right away making them useless," says Vincent as Kasumi reached a wall which she was feeling up and down before she found a secret mechanism which opened a small part of the wall revealing an elevator behind it.

"Now we only need to take the elevator down and we should arrive at our destination," says Kasumi as she boarded the elevator followed by the group when she pushes the last button.

They ride the elevator down when Titania says, "It seems that the worst is already over. I really hate to hear people talk shit the whole time."

"You shouldn't jinx us," says Garrus as Vincent only smiled.

"What would be life without a bit of fun," says Vincent as he was bored for a while now since the guards weren't their match.

They reached the bottom floor as they walked out of the elevator they find themselves confronted with a hall of treasures that only a collector could have as most of the treasures were behind vitrines.

"Who would have thought that he had such a vast collection down here," says Titania as Vincent wasn't really impressed with the collection.

"I think I should take you to visit Divayth Fyr's collection. That was impressive I almost became a piece of it myself," says Vincent as they walked around the collection trying to find the Graybox for Kasumi since the Ogre could be seen quite well.

It was towering over them in a roaring position but it seemed to be melted in some metal but Vincent could feel corruption coming from it making it clear that it was still alive even if its body was caged in the metal.

"I found it!" shouts Kasumi from across the room as she was holding the Graybox in her hand.

"You have done well in reaching this far without activating the alarm," says a voice through some loudspeakers surprising the group.

"But that changes now," says the voice as sirens sounded while the light changed from white to red before turning white again repeating that motion over and over again.

"Well, it seems that the action now begins," says Vincent as guards rushed into the room from other entrances surrounding them.

"Everyone get behind cover," says Titania as she hides behind one of the vitrines.

A mech appears from the ceiling making Vincent say, "Now we know why it was such a long way to get down here."

The mech landed behind the Ogre which made Vincent nervous because the Ogre might break free from its cage by accident.

The mech was walking forward before it touched the Ogre and pushed it away making it hit the ground. Everyone was looking at the mech while Vincent looked at the Ogre as its cage seemed to show cracks on it.

Everyone suddenly began to smell something really bad and Vincent was suddenly stone cold as he knew that smell far too well from the expedition to the Deep Roads to exterminate the Darkspawn.

"What is that smell," says Garrus before he sees Vincent change into his Dragoon-Set.

Garrus could feel the coldness Vincent was radiating when suddenly a roar made everyone stand still when suddenly the Ogre picked one of the guards up over its head and pulled on both ends ripping him in two while the guts were painting the face of the Ogre.

"Run," says Vincent to Garrus while the Ogre was occupied with the guards which seemed scared and in shock because of the beast that came to life.

Harris rushed towards Titania and Kasumi before he grabs them by their arms as he says, "We need to leave."

"We are staying here and help Vincent," says Titania as Garrus shakes his head.

"Vincent wasn't himself the moment he heard the roar. He was stone cold and you could feel his aura," says Garrus when suddenly they feel the ground shake before they see a shadow in the sky.

It was Vincent who jumped into the air as he was spearheading into the enemy. He lands beside one of the guards.

"Did you accidentally drink some of its blood?" asks Vincent but the guard didn't answer when Vincent just pierces his spear into his chest killing the guard.

"It would be the best if I just kill everyone that is in this room just to make sure that the taint doesn't spread," says Vincent to himself as he jumps again towards the next guard.
