Chapter 25: The New Alpha on Omega.
Summary: Shepard and Zaeed engange in a head to head battle. Meanwhile on Omega, Morinth emboldened by the downfall of her mother and tormentor, decided the time has come to make her move.
Omega Afterlife

Morinth burst inside of Aria’s apartment in afterlife and strode over to her bedroom and smirked at the lovely naked form of Aria T’loak. She appeared to be well rested. Not for long, it was time to take this up a notch. Morinth thought to herself as she walked right up to the lovely Asari criminal overlord and placed her face in her soft hands and drew back a slow suckle.

Aria closed her eyes, her lips quivered as if she were tasting a forbidden Ambrosia that only she could have and no one else. She was Aria T’loak! She deserved to taste those lips. They were simply heaven. Aria smiled brightly as they broke a kiss.

“Mmm…that is the perfect way to wake up, my little Morinth.” Aria cooed back at Morinth.

“It is about time! It’s already almost time for the clubs to open and you promised me that we could go check out your other club. “ Morinth exclaimed.

“Oh you have been spending a lot of time at Sin love” Aria said with a smirk on her face, as she believed she was subtlety showing Morinth that she had eyes and ears everywhere. What she did not know was that she was only told this news because Morinth told her men to tell her. The kind of information protected Morinth’s people while simultaneously lulling Morinth’s prey into a false sense of security.

“Well a nice change of scenery is good for the soul.” Morinth said with her arm wrapped around Aria.

“No it’s just Sin. It used to be the mercs inferior stronghold to Afterlife. It will take some getting used to seeing it as one of my bases.” Aria flatly stated.

“It’s actually pretty cozy...I think you would find going out for a night on the town there would be a….downright…life altering experience.” Morinth said is a soft seductive voice without breaking eye contact with Aria.

In the end, it was Morinth overpowering sensuality that coaxed the paranoid warlord to go with her to the den of her former enemies. True it was hers now, but the simple fact of the matter was that people who wanted her out of power still called this place home. Some even wanted to take their old stomping ground back from Aria. Morinth had been spending every other day at the bondage/slavers club. Some even have said “Sin” was the most dangerous place on Omega. The phrase “Don’t fuck with Aria”, has kept Afterlife, ironically enough, one of the safest places on Omega. Sin was so dangerous that it was not uncommon for patrons to walk in free and leave bound to involuntary servitude. The fact that slavers operated in parts of the massive club meant that there was always a possibility of ending up as someone’s property. However, Aria had kept the slavers in check by instituting a quota of how many slaves can leave Omega. Omega’s scanners were second to none, even picking up the Normandy the moment it entered their system. However, this did not stop the slavers of “Sin” from simply keeping their new acquisitions on Omega.

Aria was always paranoid and would not go with Morinth unless she took her entire entourage. Morinth misdirected Aria’s paranoia by insisting she bring an additional ten more men than she was going to originally bring, unfortunately for Aria, the ten men added were already in clutches of Morinth.

Morinth smiled brightly as she proudly displayed her commando leathers. Aria was in her outfit as well. The two were the power couple of Omega. In the weeks since Aria asked Morinth back, the woman had done an outstanding job of making everyone forget the humiliating manner in which she entered Aria’s presence. Whether it was Morinth sucking rival criminals life force from within of inch if their life or Morinth’s domineering presence when she was alone and away from Aria.

The message was clear even if Aria had deliberately been kept in the dark, “Don’t fuck with Morinth.” Aria was perhaps the most cold, calculating, powerful Asari alive. Which was the root of the problem. Aria had been so dominant, powerful, and successful for so long, she expected the respect that was given her way. She had no idea that some people were directing their fear towards Morinth. Aria did not even for a second think that the fear and respect given was to her lover. Morinth for her part was very good at keeping up appearances that Aria was in charge. Even letting the crime lord fondle her backside as they walked places. Morinth did not mind because the longer the sensual flame was kindled the greater the hold she had on her prey.

Morinth knew every millimeter of Aria’s body, every erogenous zone, every word, and every octave needed to drive Aria into a frenzy. So when the two entered Aria’s taxi, Morinth did not say a word as she leaned over snaked her head around Aria and suckled softly upon the nape of her neck. The quickening of Aria’s breathe was the alarm klaxon announcing to Morinth that her aim was true. She could almost feel the blood start to rush beneath Aria’s flawless skin.

The ride was like a blur to Aria, one minute she was on edge from her anticipated trip to Sin, the rest was a heavenly memory with her Morinth. Aria was very aggressive today as she felt the tingle down her spine at the visage of the gaudy club Sin. Aria always felt that Sin was always trying to appease with raunchy pomp and circumstance. From the “slave girls” and “slave boys” walking around in every fetish that was imaginable, to the fighting pits, where the loser would be at the mercy of the winner. There were very few safeguards in Sin which accounted for most casualty reports on Omega originating from Sin one way or the other. Afterlife on the other hand was more secretive in its justice. People who died and disappeared from Afterlife were not talked about again. Aria found out long ago that terror was much more effective if it was not known. No one knew if the people disappeared were tortured, were spaced, or even let go. Most people were more than happy to fabricate tales of Aria’s brutality which went as dastardly as a person’s mind would allow. The truth was that while she was quick to deal with most of her enemies she was technically not as brutal as she was given credit for. In public however, Aria did not let anyone think the rumors were false.

The queen of Omega waited for Morinth to leave the taxi first. Morinth for her part got out and extended a hand to her “girlfriend” Aria. As Aria left the taxi the bystanders gave her a wide berth. Aria loved every second of the buildup.

“Shall we see what all the fuss is about?” Aria cooed as she accepted the hand of her lover.

“Mmm, I think coming here will bring you a whole new prospective of Omega”. Morinth said in a sultry tone.

The pair strode towards the main double doors of Sin. An odd counterpart to Aria’s other club. While people walked up stairs to get to Afterlife, people descended stairs to get into Sin. The gatekeeper at the door simply ushered the pair in without a mere word. Aria smirked as he saw he was sitting on a man wearing a hood on his hands and knees.

The gatekeeper stole a knowing glance at Morinth’s as he politely smiled in the couple’s direction. Morinth proceeded deeper into the bowels of Sin. The first area of Sin was the Batarian Bazaar. A series of smaller clubs and shops that were all ran by members of the Hegemony. Aria stopped and looked up at the main auction block and cooed, “You want me to put you up there my love. How much do you think I could fetch for you.”

“Oh I don’t know how much people are shelling out for mean ass bitches that are loathed by their own race?” Morinth responded without missing a beat.

“Oh I hear they go for about a hundred orgasms” Aria chuckled with a grin on her face.

“Only a hundred? I must be slipping” Morinth said playing along with the facetious charade.

“Well you know ,you have been known to hang around some unsavory characters doing some very savory things.” Aria uttered while groping Morinth possessively.

“Mmm you mean like queen bitches ,who are also criminal warlords?” Morinth cooed back.

“Mmm exactly, something we could be doing right now if we were not here in this gaudy nightclub.” Aria said with derision.

“Mmm well I promise that by before we leave here tonight you will have a whole new perspective on this gaudy nightclub.” Morinth seductively utters as she leaned in and gave a soft suckle on Aria’s neck.

Aria closed her eyes and turned a brighter shade of pink. “You and your promises, let’s go to the more public part of this monstrosity I want to see what this fighters' pit is all about.”

Illium: Azure Park

Shepard slowly cursed under her breath as she had to navigate through the park surrounding Azure sans Omni-tool because it was being used to jam the signals attempting to get to her chips.

Shepard propped herself behind a thicket of bushes as she assessed how many rounds she had left. Shepard frowned and resented the fact that she had to now keep track of heat sinks. Before she was spaced Shepard only had to worry about her weapon overheating.

Shepard was counting her ammo on her last weapon when she lifted her head up quickly as she caught a red blinking light out of her eye. It came from a floating cylinder. Fuck me! A damn probe! Shepard screamed in her head, she had been found out. She lifted to shoot the probe when she noticed five more floating cylinders. She had been found! She had seen those particular devices before but she could not put her finger on where.

The scream of a reverberating grenade filled the entire space around Shepard she barely caught sight of the concussive shot in time to attempt to jump away from the blast.

While being spared from being hit with the full force of the blast, the impact was still hard enough to slam her hard against a nearby tree. The impact shattered all but three of her weapons, leaving only a small service pistol with four shots functional.

Zaeed looked around with his eye scope lowered to see if she could spot anyone still up only to find the pieces of her Shepard’s weapons along the ground as well as some drops of blood on the ground.

Zaeed had lost the element of surprise and now was in the process of trying to reacquire the commander. He automatically assumed she would run away from him. After all he had spent the last month trying to break her. So when Commander Shepard shot out of some bushes he was caught off guard the Commander came out barrel blazing.

“You missed, come on out, and I will make sure you can go back without any more punishments lined up for you” Zaeed mockingly teased.

“I did not miss, you sadistic piece of shit!” Shepard said after emerging from another set of bushes. She then ran as fast as she could directly in front of him.

Zaeed simply shook his head and raised his rifle and got her into scope and pulled the trigger.

“What the?” Zaeed exclaimed.

Zaeed’s gun had been hit by one of Shepard’s shots. Zaeed shook his head as he threw his weapon down and started to reach for his pistol when he noticed a proximity mine being activated. Zaeed jumped only to be thrown by the blast into a nearby wall.

Zaeed stood up for two seconds before falling back down flat on his face knocked completely unconscious.

Shepard was had only a little more ways to go and she would get away scot free. She shook her head slightly as she heard gunfire off into the distance.

Nearby, minutes earlier…
“I told you she would do it, she is breaking out and we are going to get her back!” Garrus exclaimed as he quickly climbed up the one of the trees in Azure Park.
“We don’t know it’s her, calm down, let’s assess the situation first.” Kai Leng intoned from underneath the tree.
The explosion was seen by one of their monitoring stations that Hope Illiium set up early in their campaign. It was a miracle they had not been found out yet. Garrus and the whole crew sprang into action as soon as the fighting was heard. Hope had the idea of hiding in the park, as it would provide cover for them as well as protect them while assessed the situation.
“Well you old bird, what do you see?” Hope cried out from underneath Garrus.

“It’s Shepard! She is giving them hell! She has the entire base after her. There is a whole group of them behind us behind us about fifty plus with more reinforcements coming.”

“Let’s distract them prepare to engage!’ Hope yelled out.

The Cerberus soldiers with her all launched their grenades in the direction of the blockade of men trying to keep Shepard contained.

The Broker’s men all returned fire, the first true skirmish between the Broker and Cerberus had begun. The first grenade launched hit its mark, as a nest of soldiers behind a fortification exploded and were launched into the air from the impact of the firearm.

Little did any of them know that the battlefield had another additional player enter the fray, Zaeed Massani. Their distraction did little to deter him from walking right behind their firing line unnoticed and making a B-line right for Shepard.

Omega Sin: Fighting Pits, Main Arena.

Aria was impressed by the caliber of talent present in the fighting pits. She inspected the fighters and was getting quite aroused at their forms.
Physical specimens at the peak of their form decked out in their ceremonial fighting garbs for the arena outside littered the barracks area.

The normal Master of Ceremonies, Dontius Grey, stood awestruck as he saw the lovely and powerful Aria T’Loak appear out of the fighter’s barracks.

“Oh Ma’am what an honor, do you want to address the crowd here at Sin before the main events start?” The showman said as he gave an enthusiastic face as he waited for the answer.

“Oh by the goddess, you know ,you want to speak to your minions, she cannot resist the chance to speak to her Omega compatriots when the opportunity presents itself” Morinth said offhandedly to Dontius, who pursed his lips in anticipation.

“It appears, you don’t know me all too well at all, my pet. You know I cannot speak without an introduction and I refuse to let this charlatan introduce me to these rabble.” Aria said in a haughty tone of derision.

“Here Dontius, give the microphone to me, I’ll introduce her” Morinth said nodding his head to Dontius to indicate that it was ok.

Dontius just turned his back to Aria and gave Morinth a knowing glare before handing the microphone to Morinth.

What Aria did not know was that Morinth was wanting her to be introduced by Dontius, so she could get the drop on Aria while she was distracted, now she was going to have to improvise. It was better this way, because the more fair the fight seemed to the crowd the more clout Morinth would have when this was all over. Morinth entire time in Omega was coming down to this point in time. The time had come to shed the charade and brings Aria to heel once and for all.

Aria casually walked up the ramp almost sensing something was wrong but she could not put her finger one what. I better get a good look at the crowd once Morinth starts speaking. Someone wants to ambush me but who? Lord knows what kind of pampered service they gave her lover, making it all too enticing to bring her girlfriend, the great Aria T’loak to their lair. After all if things did not work out as planned then, of course, the Ardat Yakshi would get the blame. As Aria mulled over the upcoming ambush she was sensing,fury rose up from inside her, over this scheme her enemies were hatching being secured by having the blame fall to her beloved Morinth if it failed. Who would dare such a thing!!! Aria asked herself, as she was scanning the crowd intently to see who the traitors were.

Morinth casually activated her speaking apparatus and she held up her hand. The crowd immediately became quite.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, Rogues and Thieves, I promised you a show the last time I was here and I intend to provide you with one.” Morinth said as she turned around to face Aria grinning ear to ear.

Aria for her point wagged her finger at Morinth. The warlord was becoming giddy with excitement as she waited for what she thought was a surprise from her sexy lover, Morinth.

“So for here today, you are here to witness the once in a lifetime event! Ladies and Gentlemen here today for your viewing pleasure witness the fight of the century, I Morinth will be fighting in the ring today!”

The Crowd erupted in cheer.

“Oh wow you know how I love to see you devour!!!” Aria said clapping vehemently in anticipation of seeing her lover about to kick some wholesale ass.

Morinth smirked and took a bow,”Well then you are absolutely going to love this! Because for this night and this night only, I, Morinth is going to fight oneof the toughest opponents Omega has to offer!” Morinth exclaimed as she paused and looked up at Bray.

Bray from his place standing overhead of the fighting pit dome, smirked and waived back at Aria and Morinth.

Aria could not bare it who could it be???” Was it Bray…no he just waived at us, hmmm this I have to see! “, Aria thought to herself as she turned around to see who was coming out of the opponents door to the arena,

“Aria T’loak!!!!!” Morinth exclaimed as she threw down her microphone as if it were a gauntlet.

The roar of the crowd was downright deafening. The enclosed arena was absolutely raucous when the news was held. The moment of truth had come.

Aria was still looking at the opponents door when her name was called on the PA system, she then turned around to make sure she heard right only to see Morinth throw down the microphone and look at the warlord straight in the eyes with the most serious look she could offer, the predator was fully revealed and in its calmness was the face of true terror. Morinth was already backing up and powering up.

Aria looked wounded as she realized what was going on, but this is not the first time Aria got betrayed, is why she never let anyone close, and after she put down this upstart .she will never again. Aria powered up in reciprocation and the two lionesses circled each other in the fighting pit.

Aria had enough of posturing and threw the first biotic blow. The woman used her flare power to send a wave of biotic energy towards Morinth.

Morinth threw up her barriers only to be thrown back about twenty feet, causing her to fall on the ground and roll when she landed.

Morinth promptly rose back up however, and threw her a bolt forward towards Aria who stood still and shielded herself with her arms, only to find that it was not a throw bolt but a pull. A mistake which caused the warlord to propel forward face first on her face.

This abomination is much stronger than she thought Aria remarked as she wiped the blood from her lip.

The Ardat Yakshi did not waste any time as she promptly jumped off the ground and using her biotics glided over the next flare wave Aria attempted to throw at her.

The woman was prepared to counter with a bolt of her own when the sudden sound of gunfire erupted from above them. It was Liselle with a bunch of Turian mercanaries.

“Don’t worry mother I am coming! Get away from her you varren scum!!” Liselle screams as she opens fire on the men protecting the dome. Aria's daughter had barely got back on Omega the week prior only to see her mother with a girlfreind. She decided to lay low with the talons and shadow the couple. As soon as she saw Morinth take Aria into Sin, she went to get her Talon compatriots to launch a rescue mission.

The seats around the pit immediately started to empty, as Morinth’s “bodyguards” fired back with everything they got. Scores of people are caught in the crossfire, as the true battle for control ensues.

Aria does not waste any time, bolstered by her own daughter coming to her rescue, Aria swung and landed a biotic enhanced punch at Morinth hitting her square in the jaw and sending the woman flying onto her backside.

Morinth taken off guard by the presence of Liselle and the Talons looked up as her eyes glowed as her domination power awoke more of Aria’s dormant bodyguards, They immediately jumped up, open fire at the attack. She just barely got the order off when Aria connected with a blow that almost ended everything in one blow.

Morinth blinked and shook her head from her vantage point on the ground a gesture that almost cost her a chance to see Aria’s foot swinging for Morinth’s face. The Ardat Yakshi did not survive this long by being easy to kill or beat, as soon as she saw Aria’s foot coming towards her face, she dropped almost all the way to her back causing Aria to miss and stagger from not connecting with her kick.

The opening was just long enough for Morinth to connect with a Throw bolt.

Aria could not believe she missed Morinth’s face, and was so shocked she did not see the throw bolt that sent her flying five feet back into one of the walls of the fighting pit.

Morinth took the chance to get back on her feet. The woman then started shoot bolt after bolt at Aria. Aria dodged and shot her energy right back at Morinth.

As the exchange in the center of the pit grew more pitched. The fight above the pit had grown intense with each side tearing up the inside of the fighting pit spectator seats.

The fight seemingly was heading for a stalemate when it happened…

The mercenary groups who just months earlier lost this stronghold and almost all standing in Omega came out of the woodwork. A man by the name of Donner Vosque, a young upstart and new leader of the Blue Suns,who helped Aria’s men inside of the blue suns headquarters on that infamous night months ago. Although he betrayed his fellow blue sun comrades, he did so for a price, Aria’s blue ass in his bed. However, after the coup, rather than pay the agreed upon price, Aria informed Donner Vosque that if he pressed the issue further she would tell her comrades just who sold them out. Indeed, it was Vosque who killed Vido Santiago when Aria’s men stormed their headquarters, his men would kill him for sure. Vosque had stewed in his hatred of Aria since that memorable night, so when Morinth openly challenged Aria, he pounced on the opportunity to make Aria pay!

Liselle was gaining ground against Morinth's thralls, when her own men started dropping like flies as they were surrounded from all sides. Donner Vosque had attacked her men from behind. Liselle immediately moved her men towards the far door trying to get into a position where both groups were in front of her. Unfortunately, the new leader of Eclipse on Omega, Captain Wasea,fresh from being driven from Illium when the Eclipse base on Illium was destroyed in an explosion, blocked the position Liselle was trying to get at. Liselle’s men were pinned down and it was only a matter of time until they had to give up.

Meanwhile the fight in the pit, seemed like a side note to the intense firefight taking place above it. However, Aria was starting to tire out. Morinth on the other hand was getting stronger. As an Ardat Yakshi, Morinth regenerated her biotic energy and healed at a much faster rate than Aria.

Omega watched the vid-screens as the fighting pits was still being broadcast. They stood by in awe as they started to see Morinth winning the fight. Little did anyone know, that Morinth had spent the last weeks draining Aria as she slept, and the fruits of her labor were starting to bear fruit.

Aria was having trouble generating her power flare and lash attacks against Morinth. Aria started to really worry however, when she put all she had into a flare attack, as she tried to turn the tide, only to see Morinth walk straight through the wave un-phased.

Morinth retaliated hard with a powerful pull bolt. Aria felt herself pulled off her feet and pushed hard face first on the ground right in front of Morinth’s feet. Morinth immediately followed up by kicking Aria hard in the ribs as soon as she hit the ground.

Aria was woozy, the last bolt hit her hard as the wind was knocked out of her body. She struggled to get off the ground only to be hit by a powerful throw bolt that lifted her off the ground and threw her into the wall. The force was so powerful the stonework cracked.

Aria was barely conscience as she could only lift herself high enough to be on one knee. Morinth strode with purpose over to Aria. Aria’s vision was blurry, she sighed as she looked behind the approaching Morinth to see her daughter throw down her gun as the absurd amount of soldiers took prisoners, the Talons were all surrendering.

“So this is how it ends…Well done…love….go ahead and finish it. Omega is yours now” Aria weakly spouted out to Morinth.

Morinth reached out and placed her hand around Aria’s throat and lifter her up and pulled her until they were face to face and cryptically responded, ”Oh no bitch…I have not even started with you!” Morinth said as she reared back with her other hand and punched Aria so hard she was knocked unconscious.

Aria laid sprawled out on the floor of the fighting pit. Morinth walked over to Aria and placed her leather boot on top of Aria’s forehead and struck a triumphant pose.

“Omega…it is over…I Morinth am your new leader. The bitch has been defeated!” Morinth proclaimed to the crowd.

The transmission was heard station wide as the fight was on every vid screen on Omega, Morinth made sure of it. The streets of Omega erupted in jubilation. To the citizens of Omega, a coup was an event to be celebrated, in a way it was the epitome of the violent manner in which Omega evolved.

Omega now had a new ruler, for the first time in centuries.
