He had just one mission

Shepard! Don't go into the light!

I didn't come this far to let some turian husk stop me.

Move.

[maraudershields]

I'm here to save you.

[He raises his weapon.]

Don't make me do this, Commander.

[vanguard_charge]

"Salvation through destruction?" Yeah, Harbinger already tried that one on me. Doesn't sound any more convincing coming from one of his pet monsters.

[Shepard raises his pistol and limps towards him in slow motion.]

Within the last ten minutes alone I've killed five grunts, three banshees and about a dozen guys who looked just like you. You're not stopping me. I've earned this ending.

[maraudershields]

You just don't understand!

[He fires a round into Shepard's shoulder.

It doesn't have to be this way. He should have just turned around and gone back to the Normandy. Marauder doesn't want to do this, but he knows that it's his destiny. He was born to kill Commander Shepard.

It's not an honor, but a curse. He has to think of his family, his wife and kids, probably indoctrinated and just like him now. He has only their best interests at heart.

Most importantly, though, he has to do this. For the fans.]

[Shepard stumbles. No no no, like hell he is suffering through the slow limp towards the beacon again. This ends now.

He aims for Marauder's head, and pulls the trigger.]

I understand that I put sixty hours into this game alone!

[But it'll be worth it, won't it? They promised him a definitive ending. A real ending. A satisfying ending.

He deserves that much. Doesn't he?]

[maraudershields]

[Little does Shepard know what's really in store for him.

He staggers backwards as the shot rips through him, his name changing from Marauder Shields to the much less inspiring Marauder Health.

Pain spreads through his body, pain like he never felt before... Except for when he became infected by reaper tech.

And Shepard is getting closer. God, man, why won't he understand that everything leading up to this point was just a lie!?

Marauder Health steadies himself and takes aim. There were no other options. He'd become the galaxy's greatest murderer, and the neckbeards' greatest hero.]
