Mass Effect: The Requiem Saga: Genesis.

Volume 2.

Chapter 14.

We stood over an unconscious Nihlus Kryik in the Eden Prime spaceport as Kaidan informed me that he was still alive.

“Oh thank God, contact Joker, evacuate him immediately.”
Kaidan: Right on it.
Ashley was on watch when she immediately raised her gun.
Ashley: Hey! Something’s moving! Over behind those crates!
Kaidan continued to talk on the comm, but I raised my assault rifle. However, the man who came out was not an enemy at all, he was just a random guy in a beanie.
Man: Wait! Don’t–Don’t shoot! I’m one of you! I’m human!
“Jesus, don’t sneak up on us like that. We have guns and shit. We could have shot you.”
Man: I… I’m sorry. I was hiding. From those creatures. My name’s Powell. I saw what happened to that turian. The other one hit him with his gun after it jammed.
“Other one…? Is that the one Manuel was… What the hell are you saying?”
Powell: There were two turians here. Your friend and another one he called Saren. I think they knew each other. Your friend seemed to relax. He let his guard down… and Saren tried to kill him. But his gun jammed, then a geth came around the corner, and before Nihlus could turn around to warn Saren, he hit him over the head with his gun twice. I’m just lucky he didn’t see me behind the crates.
“Shit… Saren… I know the name.”
Ashley: You do?
“Yeah. A spectre. Ruthless.”
I thought for a moment.
“The beacon. Shit, there was a prothean beacon that was brought here. What happened to it?”
Powell: It’s over on the other platform. Probably where that guy Saren was headed. He hopped on the cargo train right after he knocked out your friend.
Powell sighed and leaned n one of the cargo boxes.
Powell: I knew that beacon was trouble. Everything’s gone to hell since we found it. First that damn mother ship showed up. Then the attack. They killed everyone… Everyone! If I hadn’t been behind the crates, I’d be dead, too!
Kaidan stood up.
Kaidan: A shuttle will be here soon, Commander.
I nodded at him, but then something struck me.
“Wait… why were you the only one that had the genius idea to hide?”
Powell: They never had a chance. I… I was already behind the crates when the attack started.
Kaidan: Wait a minute… you were hiding behind the crates before the attack?
Powell: I… sometimes need a nap to get through my shift. I sneak off behind the crates to grab forty winks where the supervisor can’t find me.
Ashley: You survived… because you’re lazy?
“Calm down. Well… if you didn’t take your ‘forty winks’ you’d probably be in the ground like your co-workers. So… good job I guess.”
Powell: Yeah. Yeah, I guess. I don’t really want to think about it.
“So what actually happened in the attack?”
Powell: Well, it was quick. One minute, that ship was descending. The next, those geth were swarming over the platform, thousands of them. They must have been inside that mother ship. They shot anything that moved. It was a massacre.
“What about the beacon?”
Powell: What about it?
“Tell me about it, dumbass.”
Powell: Oh… sorry. Uh… they brought it here this morning. We loaded it up on the train and shipped it to the other platform. Hard to believe that was only a few hours ago. Feels like a whole other life.
“The mother ship. The one over there. Tell me about it.”
Powell: I’ve never seen anything like it before. It–It was huge. Landed over near that platform. The whole place got dark as it came down. And– And it was making this noise, this– this sound that bored right into your brain. That’s what woke me up. The attack came a few minutes later.
“Right. Thanks for the information. We need to get to the beacon now before Saren gets his talons on it.”
Powell: Take the cargo tram. That’s where the other turian went. I… I can’t stay here. I need to get away from all this.
Powell walked away, scurried more like it, and we all looked at each other. We waited for a few minutes for the shuttle to arrive and when we saw it overhead, we waved at it and began to make our way out of the area as Nihlus got evacuated.
What we then saw as we made our way down a ramp and over a corner was a large group of Geth taking cover on a long passageway to the tram. But at the end, we saw something different than the geth. Much larger and obviously organic.
“Get into cover!”
I immediately slid into cover on my knees while the rest of the squad ducked behind their own. The opposition kept us in cover with heavy fire.
“Ashley! What the hell is that thing at the end there?!”
Ashley: Gimme a minute!
We moved up slowly, taking cover on every barricade as we did, taking a few shots at the enemy. We got closer to the beast at the end of the pathway that had been biding its time, but upon further examination, it didn’t look completely organic.
It was large and bulky, with four eyes and two horns, two fingers and a thumb on its large hands, and legs similar to that of a quarian. However, its arms seemed completely synthetic in nature, a bit more crude than the smooth and stylized geth, as well as different implants and tubes around its body. It wore armor on its legs and lower back, but it only wore an open trench coat on its upper body.
Ashley: Commander… it’s a Yahg…
Kaidan: Wait what?
“Did you say Yahg?”
Ashley: Yeah.
“Shit. How do you kill a fucking yahg?
Kaidan: I don’t think you do.
We began to mow down the geth in front of us, but when we mostly finished with that, the yahg turned to us.
Geth: Kornak-Major, we-
Kornak, the yahg, swiped the geth away and pointed his left arm toward us. Surprisingly, a fucking machine gun dropped out of his arm and a handle for him to hold it steady with. With a yell, he began to shoot it out onto the pathway.
Kornak: Die!
“Holy fucking shit!”
Ashley: What do we do?
“Uh…”
I looked around for anything to use against him when I saw he was on the second to last car on the tram and was holding onto the railing with his free arm. So, immediately, I put away my assault rifle, took aim with my sniper, and shot the foundations of the railing.
Kornak: Hrrnh?
Kornak felt the railing break under his weight and, suddenly, the railing, along with Kornak, fell off the tram and down onto the tracks.
“Go! Go, go!”
We all rushed down the tram to the final car to see Kornak begin to get to his feet. I leapt and slammed my hand onto the activation controls of the tram, the whole thing lurching forward.
However, we were not out of the woods, as Kornak had jumped onto the side of the tram and was holding on as it bolted forward.
Kornak: RAARGH!
Ashley: Uh… Commander? It’s still on the-wait, Commander?
For some reason, I felt this was a good idea.
I burst forward down the train to where the yahg was, putting away my weapon as I leaped into the air, coming down on the side of the train and dropkicking Kornak in the face.
Kornak: GRRGH!
“Aw shit.”
Kornak began to reach for my leg when I grabbed my pistol, shooting a concussive shot in his face, pushing myself back a little and dazing him.
Kornak: Gaarrgh… humans… I don’t like humans…
Kornak then climbed onto the tram, but I rolled back onto my knees, putting away my pistol and took out my grenade launcher.
“Eat shit.”
I shot him in the body this time and he fell onto the second to last car of the tram. Jumping onto the last one along with my squad, I pointed at Kaidan.
“Release the rest of the cars!”
Kaidan quickly input the correct sequence to do so and Kornak attempted to lunge at us, but the car broke off from ours. We watched him grow smaller in the distance.
Kaidan: Excuse me, Commander, but holy shit!
Ashley: That was pretty badass, I’ll admit.
“It was nothing.”
I put away my weapon and headed back to the front of the tram.
“Let’s go get ourselves a beacon. Hopefully catch a turian while we’re at it.”
~X~
Saren: Damn it all!
Saren confronted a geth after hearing Kornak had not stopped the squad that had been sent in by the Alliance.
Saren: Set the charges. Destroy the entire colony. Leave no evidence we were here.
Saren walked past it and stood in front of the prothean beacon, taking in its large form for a moment. It surged with energy that none of his geth could pick up. Curious.
And suddenly, he was lifted off the ground.
~X~
The geth finished setting the demolition charges when they noticed the tram coming in.
“All right, let’s-Oh. More geth!”
We drew our weapons and left the tram when Kaidan pointed something out.
Kaidan: Demolition charges! The geth must have planted them.
Ashley: Hurry – we need to find them all and shut them down!
“Shit… uh… well, cover me! I’ll disable them.”
Ashley: You sure you know how?
“Of course!”
I kneeled down at the first charge and began to disable it.
“…I think.”
Kaidan and Ashley gave me cover fire while I finished disabling the first charge.
“Right, we should be good. Let’s get the rest.”
We ran up a staircase and across a bridge onto the platform off the tram. Kaidan shot a geth as it ran up to us and I got down to disabling the second charge.
Ashley: Commander!
A geth attempted to shoot me from behind, but Ashley leaped forward and attacked it with her assault rifle. By that time, I had finished disarming that charge and was moving onto the next one. Two more geth approached us, but Kaidan stepped forward.
Kaidan: Hnh!
Kaidan began to glow, channeling biotic energy inside himself before he charged toward the two geth, leapt into the air hitting them with a biotic kick. The geth exploded into pieces upon impact.
Ashley: Nice!
We ran over the platform, but I was knocked over by a shot that took out my shields entirely.
“Agh!”
A geth sniper stood beside us, but was quickly taken out by a biotic warp, pushing it over the warp and into pieces. I got to my feet and found the charge nearby and disarmed it quickly.
After that, we saw the beacon just down the staircase and at the end of another platform, but there were several geth and husks in the area.
“All right… one final push!”
I decided to leap over the railing instead of going down the stairs, landing hard on the ground as we shot at the enemy in unison.
“Let’s go!”
The geth were taken by surprise and were mowed down in the fight early on. There were only two husks that Ashley took care of easily. Surprisingly, it didn’t take as much effort as we thought it would.
“Well that was-“
CRRASSH!!
The yahg, Kornak, burst through the metal wall above us, roaring as he did so.
Kornak: ROAARRGHH!
“Ah shit.”
Kornak landed and immediately hit both Kaidan and Ashley to the side, knocking the breath out of both of them.
“Great. Leave me to deal with monster-mash over here.”
I rolled out of the way of an incoming charge, seeing Kornak in a blood rage. He could articulate words beforehand, but now he was snarling and grunting, he looked to be in a blood rage.
Kornak: Ragh!
Kornak then span around, hitting me straight through the air and onto a bridge.
“Guh… kck…”
To my delight, he didn’t actually knock the wind out of me, but it still hurt like a bitch nonetheless.
And then he grabbed me in one hand, lifting me into the air.
“AAGH!”
I yelled in pain, but I was able to move my arms well enough, so I reared back one hand and hit a well-aimed punch to two of his eyes.
Kornak: Grgh!
He stumbled back over the railing of the bridge, still holding me as he fell onto a column that helped hold it up.
“Gh…!”
I was able to wriggle away from his grasp, but instead of getting back onto the bridge, I fell onto the column as well, with only my upper body to hold me from falling onto the ramp about thirty feet below.
Kornak: Kill… kill you…
With a grunt, I hoisted myself onto the column and Kornak turned onto his side, trying to swipe at me. However, I jumped out of the way and onto the side of the bridge, holding the railing as I shot my legs into his face, knocking him off the column from sheer momentum.
Kornak: NOORGHHH!
Kornak fell to the floor and stopped moving. Either he was unconscious or dead. I hoped it was the latter.
After climbing back onto the bridge and going onto the platform, the other two had recovered from their hits.
Ashley: Is he…?
“Yeah. Yeah I took care of him.”
Kaidan: Wow.
We turned to the beacon next to us. I went to my comm channel.
“Joker, the beacon’s secure. We need evacuation.”
Kaidan and Ashley walked up to it.
Kaidan: This is amazing! Actual working Prothean technology. Unbelievable!
Kaidan walked back over to me, but Ashley seemed mesmerized by it.
Ashley: It wasn’t doing anything like that when they dug it up. Something must have activated it.
By that time, I’d finished my talk with Joker.
“Yeah, we’ll stand by and all that. See you then.”
Ashley began to watch it intently, but as she did, it began to glow and vibrate, flashing its light and pulling Ashley in with some unknown force. She couldn’t get free from the hold by herself, clawing at the air.
Ashley: H-Help!
It was then I sprung into action, pushing Kaidan out the way as I sprinted forward, leaping to grab Ashley before she got sucked into… whatever it was sucking her into. I held onto her by the waist and with all my might, I swung her out of the way and onto the ground, Kaidan immediately going to help her.
But I couldn’t do anything to stop myself from being sucked into it.
“Shit…”
I hunched over, feeling pure energy and information being shot into my very veins. And it was then I was lifted into the air, my eyes rolling back into my head.
Visions and images flashed before my eyes. Some type of aliens… I couldn’t… I can’t… Too… too much… too much information is… I… I can’t… agh shit… AAAGHHH!
The beacon exploded and I was shot back onto the ground. The glow subsided as my eyes returned to normal…
Kaidan: Commander… Shepard!
I tried to move my lips, but my entire body was flooding with energy and information. I felt like I was drowning.
And then everything finally went black.
To Be Continued…

Hey there!
Bam! Two chapters in a row, baby.
As you can see, the series is now going down a new path with the original path still intact. Nihlus is alive now! And what role will he play in the story? And Kornak, The Yahg is another antagonist that has now appeared and obviously can take a licking and keep on coming. Besides that, Shepard has now been exposed to the beacon, but you'll find it does some other things this time around on top of what it already did previously.
Hope you're enjoying the series as much as I am writing it! Chapters 13 and 14 took me about ten hours to write in total, so I hope its well received.
Thanks,

Wesky.
