First off, I'd like to thank LittleMissEmy for the cover image.

Secondly, quick shout out to He who is AWESOME for inspiring me to do a sequel.

Disclaimer: I don't own any Mass Effect items, I own my idea, Reavus and any new characters I bring up.

Usual formats, Reavus speech is normal italics and Necris speech is normal underline.

It had been a full century since the end of the Reaper war, ended at the hands of the galaxy's most powerful biotic; Admiral Reavus of the Necris Empire. The Milky Way galaxy was thriving in every way. Disease was a thing of the past, and the galaxy was truly united, Human, Turian, Asari, Salarian, Batarian, Quarian, Geth, all lived together in united peace. The only thing that threatened the current peace was the race known as the Yahg, for they had mastered space flight and were trying to expand onto already occupied planets, taking the hostile approach.

About the only thing that people still found odd even after 100 years was the Necris and their methods. The Necris Empire was the apex race of the galaxy and had taken up the mantle of Guardians of the galaxy. Yet at the same time they were also somewhat reclusive and stayed within the area of their homeworld of Namocron inside the artificial storm that protects it. The people of the galaxy rarely saw a Necris outside their home system, and Reavus himself hadn't been seen for 75 years.

What made people give sideways looks to Reavus and the Necris was that after Reavus had destroyed the remaining Reapers, he and his race redesigned their entire Organid fleet of Capital ships to look like the old Reaper Capital ships. It was the Necris way of cracking a bad joke, it was their way of a final insult to their late adversaries. Reavus' only comment to it before his disappearance was "We perfected on that design, making it truly perfect. Besides, you can't deny that they instil one hell of a fear factor in that design".

Yahg expansion was brutal. Despite being new to the galaxy and being somewhat primitive, they were viscous bastards. Eventually a joint Krogan-Geth fleet was formed to halt the advance and push it back to the Yahg Homeworld of Parnack. It was a long and hard road to get push it back, the Geth and Krogan managed to push the Yahg back but at heavy cost. Urdnot Grunt was on the bridge of the one ship and was contacted by the council with the difficult choice they made.

They decided to purge the Yahg since they were to violent and could not integrate into the galaxy but Grunt protested for more reinforcements. Liara T'Soni who was the Asari councillor said to Grunt "I'm sorry Grunt, but we can't send reinforcements. Our forces are spread too thin at your location and reinforcements will only be there in another 6 hours". Just as the Asari said that, Grunt noticed a Yahg warship approaching his ship preparing to fire. "Ah crap" the Krogan thought when he was interrupted by a Geth, "Urdnot Grunt, I have detected 5 large vessels approaching fast. They appear to be of Reaper configuration, only bigger". The tank born Krogan smiled ear to ear, "He He He, Necris".

Just as the Yahg ship was about to fire the first Necris capital ship came out of hyper space from the side, ramming the Yahg ship into oblivion. Three more capital ships appeared and began a relentless assault on what was left of the Yahg fleet. The Necris/Reaper ships were twice the size of the original Reapers and had the noticeable Organid signatures on them. Grunt and his fleet heard on their radios a female voice. "Krogan and Geth fleets, this is Fleet-Commander Maya, pull your forces back, the Necris will take it from here". Just as the joint fleet was pulling out, another Necris ship appeared. This one was even bigger that the other four and had an even more menacing appearance to it. Grunt who was no idiot instantly knew what the ship was and who was on it. "That must be the Necris flagship; The Nightmare Apex" he thought to himself as his fleet was returning to the Mass Relay.

The Next day

The Yahg homeworld of Parnack was a blazing inferno wasteland, and only things left alive were the few defence forces around the Capital palace. As the fight continued the Yahg at the palace looked up to see the Necris flagship approaching. The ship landed right at the palace front door and assisted with the ground assault. Meanwhile on the ships bridge, one of the men in turned to face a hooded figure in the centre of the room, "Sir, Yahg forces are almost completely destroyed. The only Yahg left are the ones right below us". The figure stood up from his chair and smiled. "Continue the purge Captain, I'm gonna go stretch my legs" he said as he entered the airlock.

He jumped out of the ship and landed in the main courtyard of the palace with an abnormally long katana, surrounded on all sides by a few dozen Yahg. The person jerked his head back to make the hood come off, revealing what looked like a normal human in their 20's who had short white hair and red eyes. "Ahh, KILL THE INTRUDER" one Yahg shouted, however as they began to approach the person, he removed the glove on his right hand, revealing a luminous blue skinned hand with a sort of black armour covering it. All the Yahg stopped dead in their tracks as they knew who they were staring at; Reavus.

Three of them attacked at the same time, their minds filled with fear which meant they were sloppy. They jumped at Reavus at the same time, but for Reavus, the world was going in slow motion and just stood their cool and calm. Right before they could hit Reavus, he deflected the Yahgs claws with his sword (still in its sheath) and once he was done on defence, he pulled out his 4 foot long katana, able to see behind him with the swords reflection. Reavus decapitated the first Yahg and in one swift motion, and eviscerated the other two instantly, all in the space of a second. Reavus returned to his 'cool' stance and resheathed his sword, as if to say "Who dies next".

The remaining Yahg all attacked at once and Reavus just calmly and quickly despatched all of them in the same way as the first three. Once the main crowd was done, Reavus turned around to see the last 4 standing in a staggered line. Reavus being a Vanguard charged ahead with a biotic charge, going straight down the middle, decapitating the last four. With that done, he was contacted by Fleet-Commander Maya, who also happened to be his wife, "Reavus, our scanners read only one Yahg left on the planet, he's there with you".

Reavus heard a loud thud behind him and turned to see the Yahg king. He was a lot larger that the typical Yahg who had a club in one hand and the old Revenant MG in the other. Reavus who was still maintaining his human form joked "You know if you surrender, I'll plead to the council to put you in a museum", but this only pissed off the Yahg who charged at Reavus. The Yahg missed as Reavus dodged to the side, who then raised his arm and shot a biotic ball at the last of the Yahg. The ball exploded and when the dust cleared, all that was left was a burned out charcoaled statue of what WAS the Yahg king. "I'll take that as a no" Reavus joked.

Reavus looked over to his side to see the ship with his wife landing, "Maya, we're done here. Lets go home". Maya gave the order for all Necris forces to withdraw whilst a shuttle landed by Reavus to take him back to his flagship. While he got onto the shuttle, he got a call on his long range radio, it was his son; Nero. "Hey buddy" Reavus answered. Nero replied "Hey dad, I was just checking in on how you and mom are doing on Parnack". Reavus smiled and replied "We just finished, we're on our way back". The two continued to talk until Nero told Reavus that the Necris intel division needed to speak to him when he got back.

The call ended when Reavus got one of his recurring Headaches that he'd been getting for the past century. He kept hearing an echo in his head, a lust that kept making Reavus return to his nightmares. Reavus groaned in pain in the back of the shuttle with his right arm twitching, but as the shuttle was docking with Nightmare Apex, it subsided. "Ever since the Crucible" Reavus thought to himself. When he got to his cabin he stared at his right arm which continued flashing and twitching, and with a sigh and irritation in his voice he uttered "What do you want".

Is Reavus losing his mind, or is a dark secret of the past coming to light
