Chapter 13 - Chapter 13

"Did that count as having my first time?" Danny asked bringing the rest of the room out of their stupor.

Zenyxa dropped her weapon. "Did you just cure an Ardet-Yadetshi?"

The whole room exploded into murmurs at the moment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The perimeter had been secured once more. This time, a variety of Justicars were called in to guard the parameter.

What had just happened had changed everything. The asari had been plagued by the Ardar-Yadatshi disease for a long time. It was the reason for the stigma against pure-blooded Asari. Or Asari born out of the melding of two Asaris. There were a variety of monasteries throughout Asari space where such individuals who were suffering from this curse were isolated. Any that got free and started to harm people were usually dispatched by Justicars. The Justicars considered it one of their core duties.

Danny had managed to single-handedly change all that. His actions in potentially curing Nessandra had changed all that. Everything would be verified when she wakes up. Zenyxa remembered the scene when the Justicars had tried to secure Nessandra.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kindly move out of the way. The Ardat-yadetshi needs to be secured." A Justicar asked.

"No". Danny had replied.

"Petulant child. She is a danger to herself and others" The Asari had begun to glow blue. "Now move out of the way."

Danny had in turn transformed and his hands had glowed green.

"Bite Me" Danny had replied.

The standoff had been called off when their Grandmother had entered. A member of the council that leads their republic.

"Calm down dear. No need for hostilities." She had said.

She had then turned to the Justicar, "Stand down. We shall see the truth when Nessandra wakes up."

Then she had turned towards Danny.

"Nice, light show."

"Who are you" Danny had asked her.

That was until Alessia and Arianna had called her mother. That had quickly shut Danny off.

"So this is my grandson. Alessa, you certainly did not disappoint. I was right to trust you."

She had then approached Danny and had proceeded to pinch his cheeks.

" All right, I will handle the council. Someone leaked Danny's details and things have gone insane." She had gone onto explain. "I will handle the other old coots. The problem is gonna be the other races. Its gonna be annoying to handle them."

"Alessia and Arianna, follow me. We need to handle a few things. Don't worry, when Nessandra wakes up. We will all check up on her."

Alessia and Arianna had glanced at each other. Looking at their Matriarch they had said. "Yes mother" and proceeded to follow her.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Nessandra had woken up to the scene of a white haired human boy over her. His eyes glowing green.

"Danny" She had realized. It had felt like she had been hit by a truck and then that truck had reversed over her a few times to make sure that the job was done. Her hands went to her face and she began to stroke it.

"She's awake." A voice had yelled. The voice had seemed familiar to her somehow. It was at the back of her hear but she was unable to recall it.

It took her a few moments to get out of her groggy state. She started to recall what happened. Her smashing her way into this room, another Asari going for Danny. Her stopping that Asari and then nothing. Everythimg had went blank for her. She was looking around wondering what was happening with the amount of guards in the room.

"Nessandra, they are gonna check of you are alright." Danny was telling her. "You had a, bit of an episode."

Nessnadra had agreed. She had been aproached by a doctor. She had proceeded to take samples of her blood and spit. Checking her reflexes. Finally the doctor had asked her to use her biotics.

Nessandra had used her biotics to lift a pencil.

Her eyes had glowed blue and at that sign most of the Justicars had relaxed. Some had even grown excited and others had grown hopeful.

One of the Justicars had stepped forward. Looking at her eyes, she had asker her permission to perform a meld so as to ascertain her mental health. Nessandra had agreed and had proceeded to bond with her. Sharing her last memories with the Justicar. As soon as that had ended, the room had proceeded to grow even more excited.

They were then moved to another location, 4 to 5 skycars along with an escort was there. They had gotten in one and they had proceeded to move. Nessandra felt asleep once more. But she did truly feel light and free.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another meeting of the High council of Thessia had been called.

"So, the boy can cure Ardet-Yadetshis".

"Yes, we believe that he can. One of the Justicars present there performed a partial meld to confirm."

"So, he had become even more important to our race." One of the asari was in a thinking pose.

"What about the other races. The turians and the salarians have discovered his presence. Fortunately, they did not discover the Beacon."

"The boy, Danny has become the key for our survival. His feat of curing the condition that had ailed our race for so long should be repeated in a controlled environment so that we can study and implement it at a large state." One of the members there said.

"With that said, I don't believe that Fen'ton family should have sole custody of the boy. A list of guards from all the houses must be set up, and he should be brought about to our cause."

"Ah Neila, and pray tell why. We are capable enough to protect him. Besides, do you believe that keeping the boy in a hostile environment will do him good." Seiha Fen'ton began to smile. "The boy had survived the decimation of everything he knows about. He is better off living within a loving environment."

"Enough, an agreement needs to be reached with the other races. There is a possibility that Danny may be moved into the Citadel, a neutral ground for all races. As a sort of compromise. We need to talk about building up our forces and having all the races do the same."

There was a continuous series of nods that went around and the High council began to talk about Bills and incentives to increase the capacity and capabilities of their forces.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, this should be fine." Arianna tells Danny.

"But First." Danny is enveloped in a hug by her. "Thanks for saving my daughter."

She tells his to sit down on a table. She sits on the opposite side to him. A classical scene from an interrogation.

"This procedure must be done. Now, I have a few questions for you. According to the data we got, you were raised in a Prothean settlement. Is that true?"

"Yes." Danny replied

"What was your role in their society?"

"I was to work in Entertainment and Diplomacy corps." He remembered from the simulations.

"What can you tell me about the Reapers."

A haunted look came over Danny's eyes. The scenes of the massacre, he had seen it up close, seen the brutality and the death. That part of the simulation would haunt him forever.

Danny began to explain. "The reapers, a mechanical life form. We do not know why we were wiped out. Just that they have done this before with the races before us." Danny replied, half-truths will work better here.

"We did extract other Data from them. It was disturbing to say the least." Arianna looked troubled when she said that.

Arianna looked at him and began to say. "Don't worry Danny. This interview is almost over. Can you tells us about the events that led to you helping Nessandra."

Danny nodded, "It felt like she had been possessed by something. I in turn had possessed her and found myself in her mind." And so Danny had continued to describe the entire fight and what he faced.

After he was done.

Arianna had proceeded to ask him. "What do you mean possessed?"

Danny proceeded to transform after that and began to explain. "My race enables me access to another energy source. Known as ectoplasm" As a demonstration, his hand began to glow. "This allows me access to a whose host of powers by manipulating the energy in my body. One of my abilities allows me to possess people. Pass through objects." Danny had begun to explain. He then powered down. "In order to access that energy, I have to transform. In this state, I have partial control as well." He had proceeded to phase his hand through the table. Fired a small ectoplasmic ray from his fingers.

Arianna had nodded at that.

"There are a list of options available for you. You have been trained in military manner as well as how to fight. There is also the option for you to work in either the Diplomatic or the Entertainment Faction."

"I will fight as war is inevitable but I want to create a few things as well. A writing and a few films. There is more to life then fighting" Danny had proceeded to tell her. There were a few plans that were forming in Danny's mind. He would also need to retrieve the lab that he had created. Other then that, he may be able to earn some money to spend on personal projects with a few mangas and films from his world.

A voice spoke from the speakers breaking Danny from his thoughts.

"That is enough, the interview is done."

"Come on lets return home." Arianna had proceeded to tell him.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"So, what are the High council's plan for him." Zenyxa had proceeded to ask Seiha.

They both were sitting and drinking Tea.

"The other races have been informed about his situation. The humans have expressed an interest due to his looks. The bartarians are trying to claim him as he was discovered within the Skyllian verge. Which they are saying is owned by them. The turians and salarians are interested in the structure of the Prothean Empire. The Hanars are calling him the Herald of the Protheans. And wish to know about their culture."

"If the reapers are alive then that massacre will happen again. We intend for him to get some experience under his belt while training with some Asari hunters to get an idea of his capabilities. If he intends to use his talents in the Entertainment sector, we would be happy to support him." She had proceeded to tell Zenyxa about the intentions of the High council.

Zenyxa nodded, "So when will his training and deployment with Asari Hunters start."

"Soon, Both Nessandra and him will be enrolled together."
