Chapter 1 That Girl
His hearts pounded as he sprinted up the stairs, lean legs hurling himself past a number of steps at a time. The male turian was nearing the end of the flight of stairs. He stopped for a brief second at the base of third set lapping in the sound of his rapid hearts beating and his fierce intake of air. His golden gaze was brought up to the ambience that poured from the above passage down the last short set of stairs. He clenched his jowls taught taking a deep breath expanding the length of his rib cage. A long pair of sharp claws reached down to the pistol at his right hip, feeling the smooth metal running down the barrel. Listening for a second now that his breathing has calmed he heard the mumblings of the native batarian tongue above, and the sound of rumbling thunder from a brewing storm surrounding the complex.
After a second deep intake of air K'taiba finally ascended the stairs at a steady pace, his talons prodded the metal floor as he kept his footsteps quiet as he inched closer to the entrance. Past the last step the male un snapped the pistol from it's holster, he silently rested against the wall bringing the handgun up near his face as he slid against the cold cement He darted a look out into the opening and saw a very large guard with his back to him devouring his disgusting meal for the evening. A talon came up and caught on the switch of the pistol that turned on it's power cell, he held his breath when the gun revved up humming loudly in his ear.
It disturbed the guard who yelled loudly at the noise, the turian tensed, "Stupid, move!" his conscience screamed at him, "How can you make a mistake like that!"
He waited to see how the batarian would respond, the guard kept silent not even the sound of footsteps. Then the sudden whizzing sound was heard followed by a thud the turian snapped his head to the front a grenade was secured to wall across from him, it's red light flashing immensely it beeped right away signifying that it would detonate very soon. K'tiaba jumped out through the opening revealing himself just as the ammunition ignited. The force of the blast hit his back hard propelling him forward, he landed harshly against the railing that surrounded the walkway. An immense pain shot up through his left arm as his body came to rest K'tiaba ignored the burning sensation the best he could and laid lifeless as the batarian approached.
"You Damns, Fuckings Turian!" the guard shouted above him, "Get ups!"
The turian didn't respond keeping his gaze forward past the rails into the city, the cities major buildings tall, and ignited with light that spread out through the windows. The skies turning to a dull purple as the sun lipped the outer rim of the horizon. K'Tiaba could feel the humid air, and the slight dab of sprinkles on his neck, it was about to rain. He reached a out his talons to his side feeling for the pistol, but a boot slammed down hard on his wrist.
"Hmp, your weapons is not anywhere near yous…" he chattered, "I suppose yous are with that other turian! That Spectre, hmm wha's his name agains…Azhar! We are supposed to kills anyone who doesn't have the facilities companies embroidery…" the guards speech ringed heavy with the batarian accent. He kneeled next to the turian and leaned in closer near his face, "There was a great firefights down on the first levels, and weas thought we gots you all but spouse nots…" He breathed a rancid smell spilling over every word.
The turian coughed, dark blue blood speckled the floor, "You know…" The turian growled roughly, "I prefer that you'd kill me, I do not wish smell that foul odor that is reeking from your horrid mouth…"
The bratarian just laughed and stood from his position, "You know I am really going to take my time killings you, and shures as hell going to enjoy itss!" he yelled.
The guard grabbed the turians left arm roughly, and yanked him away from the railing, dragging him to the center of the pathway. He kicked him over exposing the turians face, the guard pointed his rifle down at him smiling revealing his repulsive sharp teeth.
"Kashtar does not takes lightly to' the intruders!"
An abrupt clap of thunder sounded across the skies, the bratarian flinched and took his guard off his victim from the floor. The mere seconds allowed the turian to aggressively strike back kicking the guard in the knee snapping it backwards in an abnormal position. The bratarian yelled and cursed firing at the turian on the floor.
K'Taiba felt the heat of the rounds as they impacted the metal mere inches from his face. He looked up and saw the guards mouth open in shock and pain ready to take aim again, but he responded quickly grabbing the guards arm, twisting until it dislocated from the joint. The bratarian knelt to the ground best he could with the turian a hold of his lifeless limb.
"Damnss!" the guard screamed.
The turian tightened the ridge above his eyes and stared down at the guard, he bent down and took a dagger from his lower leg. Displaying it to the guard he sighed and stepped closer, the bratarian moved slightly back.
"You know, you always kill your enemy whenever given a chance…" the turian spoke softly, "Not fucking play around with them!"
The bratarian flinched as he descended down to meet him face to face. K'Taiba rose up grabbing the alien by the arm and dragging him over to console at the far end of the pathway and tossed him against the wall. He unholstered the pistol from the batarians side and shot him in the leg without a second thought. The merc yelled out in agony and cursed under his breath in his native tongue.
"Now I need the passcode to allow me access into the security system…" K'Taiba spoke pressing the pistol into the mercs skull, "I need to get to the 47th story without delay because there is someone that is in need of capture…Spectre Citadel business nothing personel." he shrugged.
"Assholes!" the bratarian growled.
"Look I can simply hack the system and get the code myself," he sighed crouching down until eye level with the merc, then swiftly punched him with his left fist, "Its not that fucking hard!"
Blood rushed from the batarians nose he glared back at the turian and grinned showing his bloodied sharp teeth and spat on him. Green blood speckled K'Tiabas face, he pressed the barrel even harder into the mercs skull pushing his head into the cement of the wall his mandibles clenched tightly to his face.
"You can get out of this place alive with only a shattered ego, but I don't want to waste my fucking time hacking I hate that shit!" K'taiba barked.
The merc closed his eyes and smiled again letting out a soft chuckle infuriating the turian. K'Taiba rose up from the batarian gun still pointed his jaws clenched so tight he ground his teeth together as his finger tightened around the trigger the soft vibration going up his arm. The rain started littering across the walkway, an abrupt sound of a gunshot like thunder silenced the soft sounds of droplets hitting the cement for a just a mere second . Green blood and flesh splattered against the wall the body fell to floor twitching he watched until there was no more life in the corpse, K'Taiba turned his back to the mess switching on his Omni tool facing toward the console.
Cold rain splattered down his face cleaning off the blue and green blood he shivered slightly the temperature was not comfortable to him but he welcomed its numbing qualities, sometimes he would just take cold showers to take his mind off of the pain. A buzzing sound alerted him that the Omni tool connected to the console finally bringing his mind back onto the job ahead he ran a hacking program to get the passcode to deactivate the lockdown on all doors and elevators. K'Taibe turned to the pathway again it was almost completely dark now he knew that the mercs would probably cut power to keep any further advancement but he could see in the dark another advantage of a turian. The Omni tool beeped again the passcode was found, he punched it in and ran to the elevator.
Comm traffic was completely silent it was eerie how slow the elevator inclined it was nearly passing the 40th floor. K'Taiba readied himself as the elevator came to a halt the doors slid open and he peered out, it was an empty hallway and completely dark. Stepping out he ran lightly to the end making a quick left opening the motion sensor on his Omni there was no motion except for the second room only. "Did everyone just flee?" he thought to himself. He stood in front of the door eyeing the unlock key he ran his hand over it and the door slid open he pointed the gun inside, the outside light glaring in brightly blinding him he saw the black silhouette of a human figure standing in front of the window.
The figure gasped and froze as he entered, his footsteps were very light as he made his way into the center of the room his vision adjusted as he got closer. He could make out the features on the alien from what he can tell the human was female her long hair draping around her shoulders, strings of hair all in her face, she was completely drenched from the rain her hair still dripping. She stared at him with her only eye visible through her hair, lips parted as she breathed for air, arms hung loosely by her sides she was speckled in different colored blood the water flushing it down into a puddle around her form. K'Taiba stopped as soon as he saw the dead salarian at her bare feet, then he noticed the pistol held in her hand he aimed quickly pointing directly at the middle of her skull, she didn't budge, "She seems feral even vicious…" he spoke to himself. He never seen a human like this, like an animal, so dangerous. As he was caught up in his thoughts the human rose the pistol aiming back at him a smiled crept onto her lips his mandibles fluttered he didn't know if this was the person he was supposed to acquire.
The pistol fired K'Taiba felt the heat, felt the pain on the right side of his skull he responded quick and grabbed her arm that was holding the gun digging in with his talons until she released the weapon. She didn't make a sound as she pushed against his grip he growled and dug deeper into her arms red blood now trickled down her forearm. She gasped and submitted to his grip her body nearly going limp as she pushed up against him, he released her arm and grabbed her by the shoulders pushing her back up the human looked up to him with an expression he couldn't.
"Houston?" K'Tiaba asked very softly.
The females eyes widened and her mouth unhinged revealing blunt teeth in shock K'Taiba grabbed her tightly to keep her from fleeing. He watched the humans expression closely her eyes seemed to soften and her mouth close she felt as if she would go limp in his grasp. Suddenly her eyes rolled up and closed and she toppled toward his chest, the only thing he can do was hold onto to keep from falling into the bloody mess onto the floor.
