Taking Control of the Normandy back part 1

Vincent was trying to stabilize the Platinum Starlight as he was drifting wildly at the moment because of the explosion caused by the Leviathan and the sun.

"Come on, baby. You have never let me down," says Vincent moving his right hand to the right side of the console pushing up another security clasp before pushing the button underneath it.

A barrier appears around the ship and Vincent could now take full control of his ship before he takes his phone out again. He calls his daughter to tell her that he made it out.

"So what are you doing now?" asks Lucia as she was giving some signs to her assistant to send some people of the Network to confirm the destruction of the Anadius System.

"Now I will return to the Normandy. They still need me to complete the suicide mission and your little siblings can't be left alone with all of my stuff," says Vincent as Lucia sighs.

"They should be near Omega at the moment," says Lucia as Vincent smiles.

"Thank you, my daughter. Take care of yourself and come visit your mothers and pet once in a while," says Vincent as Lucia leans back into her seat.

"I will visit once you are back home, Dad," says Lucia as she ends the call.

Vincent looked at Vigilance who already knew what Vincent wanted from him as he showed him the route towards Omega.

In the meantime on the Normandy, Titania was sitting with the others around the briefing table when she introduces their newest member to the team which was the Geth which named itself Legion.

"We will be going off the ship for shore leave while Joker and the others make sure that the Reaper IFF works as it should," says Titania as they all deserved some rest after what they went through three days ago.

"Do we have any new news about Vincent and his whereabouts?" asks Tristan as Provus scratches his head.

"He hasn't contacted me since three days ago saying that he was alright and that he would meet us soon," says Provus when Vlad manifests behind him.

"I might have more information since my boss talked with him not too long ago," says Vlad as two women were looking at him angrily.

"Where is he?" asks Ikora angry as Vincent could have sent her at least a message saying that he was alright.

Vlad looked at Jacob and Miranda before looking at the blue sphere on top of the table and says, "That is quite sensitive information that I can't dissolve with members of Cerberus present."

"Hey, I am not a member any longer after finding out that Cerberus was behind the kidnapping of my baby sister," says Miranda angry as Titania sighs.

"EDI, don't record anything that will be said in this room until we are done," says Titania ordering the A.I. while looking at Vlad.

"Understood, Commander," says EDI as the blue sphere disappears.

"Now, what happened to Vincent the last few days?" asks Titania a bit worried.

"Well, he was on board of the Leviathan. It also seems like he defeated the Taken King as has cut off the head as a trophy," says Vlad as he was informed about it two days ago.

"Wait the Taken King is dead. Did he kill him alone without his right arm after being overrun by a horde of husks?" asks Ishly quite in disbelief of it because Vincent always said that it was too dangerous to face the Taken King alone.

"He wasn't alone. It seems he asked for help to do so. He called the Old Guard," says Vlad as everyone looked at him confused since they all didn't know much about what Vlad was talking about.

"The Old Guard is made out of four Dragons and Vincent is one of them," says Vlad as he looked at them and coughs twice before saying, "Anyway, Vincent took over the Leviathan and went to the Anadius System to destroy the giant ship we saw fly away."

"The Anadius System, are you sure about that?" asks Miranda as she knew what was in that system.

"Pretty sure," says Vlad as Titania looked at Miranda.

"What is in the Anadius System?" asks Titania curiously.

"Cerberus Headquarters, the Cronos Station. The Anadius System is isolated which made it easy for Cerberus to work from there," says Miranda as Tristan smirks.

"It wasn't isolated enough it seems," says Tristan as Miranda turned towards Vlad in disbelief.

"He knew about it and flew there on purpose to destroy the ship and kill our current boss," says Titania with a smirk since it would mean that they weren't working for Cerberus any longer but were independent.

"It could solve some of our future troubles," says Tristan seriously as they looked at him confused.

"What do you mean?" asks Garrus confused when Tristan puts his hand over the Cerberus Logo on his clothes and rips it off.

"We don't have to show our allegiance towards Cerberus any longer," says Tristan putting the logo on the table.

"Easier said than done. We will be hunted down even if we now don't show allegiance now. The Alliance will have our heads. It would be better to become a member of the Empire," says Jacob seriously as the others could understand his reasoning.

"That is true, the Empire would accept you if you were to go to the Citadel and fill and send in the application. They will do a background check and after twenty-four hours you will become a citizen of the Empire," says Provus as Titania looked at him and Ishly.

"Did you two go through the same?" asks Titania a bit curious about this matter.

"Yes, but we were in the Imperial City. Dad camouflaged it quite well as a vacation as they showed us around the city," says Ishly as everyone was surprised.

"No special treatment. I was sure that Vincent only needed to snap with his fingers to solve that simple problem," says Tristan as everyone wanted to agree with him.

"Anyway, we should get on our ride and enjoy our shore leave until they are done. Vincent should be joining us sooner or later," says Titania as she walks towards the door.

They all follow her while Ishly gets Fenris and Ser Jorey who deserved some rest as well. They all left the Normandy so the crew could begin with the calibration work not knowing what was going to await the Normandy crew once they activated the IFF.

In the meantime somewhere between Omega and the Anadius System, Vincent was flying at a rapid speed towards his destination when Vigilance asks, "Why are we flying so fast towards Omega?"

"We wasted three days to get to the Anadius System because the Taken changed the course twice. We can't lose another two days or we could be too late for the ultimate battle against the Collectors," says Vincent as they wasted a day to reach the Anadius System.

"It couldn't be helped. You needed to sleep for some minutes after all," says Vigilance as the Taken changed the course while Vincent was hiding to sleep for a moment.

"Anyway, we should be there before they start their mission. Help me by keeping an eye on the radar for the Normandy," says Vincent as he was bringing out all the potential inside the Platinum Starlight.

He wanted to arrive today even if the Platinum Starlight's engine was damaged in the intent of doing so.

Vincent was about to reach Omega in an hour when Vigilance sees the Normandy's signal on the radar and the signal of another ship right beside each other.

"Something is wrong," says Vigilance as Vincent looks at the ghost.

"What is wrong?" asks Vincent as he looked at the radar and sees what Vigilance meant.

"Don't tell me that the Normandy is under attack," says Vincent as he changed course towards the Normandy while pulling his phone out.

He calls Provus who answers the phone, "Dad, what can I do for you?"

"Are you and the others on the Normandy at the moment?" asks Vincent nervously as he could see the second ship which was the Collector's Flagship.

"No, we are on shore leave until Joker and the others are done with the calibration of the Reaper IFF," says Provus as Ishly tried to get his phone.

"The Normandy is under attack. Inform Titania immediately and use the Black Emperor to get to the Normandy. I will need every help I can get," says Vincent as he ended the call.

"What did he say?" asks Ishly a bit jealous of her brother.

"We need to find Titania. The Normandy is under attack," says Provus seriously when Ishly turned serious and looked at the Mabari and Hamster.

Both seemed ready for action as Provus looks at Fenris and says, "Search for Titania we need to find her."

Fenris barks and begins to search for Titania using his nose. Once they found Titania who was enjoying her shore leave by looking for new fishes to keep in her aquarium with Kaidan being her sponsor.

"Commander, something happened," says Provus to Titania who looked at him confused but had a bad feeling about what Provus wanted to say.

"What happened?" asks Titania seriously as Ishly took over.

"Dad called in and said that the Normandy is under attack," says Ishly rapidly as Provus looked at seriously.

"The Normandy is under attack?" asks Titania as she looked at Provus to confirm what Ishly said.

"It seems so. My father told me to tell you before gathering everyone else and using the Black Emperor to return to the Normandy as fast as possible," says Provus as Titania opened her Omni-tool and send a message to everyone to meet her at the docks.

Vincent, on the other hand, was boarding the Normandy at the moment. He saw people on the ground on the second deck about to be dragged away by the Collector.

He sees that they were about to take Kelly when Vincent summons his Daywalker while saying coldly, "You made a mistake when you touched that innocent girl."

Vincent begins to clean the second deck not finding Joker anywhere before using the emergency ladders in Mordin's Laboratory to get to the third deck.
