Chapter 2 Fight with Grunt
It had been two day's since Altair had been brought on board and he had already made an enemy out of the krogan grunt, they would argue well grunt would shout and Altair wouldn't answer almost like he didnt care but this wasn't one of these days. Grunt had gone down to the hanger to "have a word" with Altair when shepherd got in his way she tried to calm down the raging beast of the "perfect krogan".
"Out of my way shepherd!" grunt said clenching his fists
"No grunt we don't need a fight on our hands!" shepherd said angrily to the krogan
"Seems to me like it would be entertaining" jack said
The two turned to jack with death glares as she sat down on a chair watching the two argue, soon shepherd had had enough and ordered grunt to return to his room but Altair soon showed up.
"Commander" they turned to Altair as he had a towel round his neck
"You!" grunt walked up to Altair standing at the same height as Altair he stared into his red neon eyes
As if everyone sensed the oncoming battle, everyone got out of their way including veronica who sat back with jack as grunt head butted Altair making him stumble back.
"Pathetic!" grunt said with venom in his words
Altair steadied himself and punched grunt round the face making the krogan take a step back.
"Right then let's do this!" grunt bashed his knuckles together as Altair threw the towel on to the table
"You have no idea how badly i've wanted to kick your ass krogan!" Altair seemed to be enjoying the sense of battle as he and grunt circled once
Grunt made the first move kneeing Altair in the gut and then landing a powerful hook to the left side of his face, Altair steadied himself and landed a punch to the right side of grunts head gripping his head Altair jumped in the air and landed a knee right to his jaw.
Grunt grumbled in pain as he tackled Altair sending him across the hanger into a few crates damaging his armour, he stood up his left optic sparking as his normal synthetic monotone voice spoke.
"you fight well krogan but let's see how you fight when i'm not holding back" suddenly blades appeared out of his back as two blades appeared out of his elbows and his eyes fused together to form a visor line
"Safeties disabled combat mode engaged"
Dashing across the hanger bay Altair punched grunt four times round the face then landing a knee to his stomach followed by a backhand and an elbow to the jaw. Not letting up Altair landed another blow to his knees finally adding an upper cut to the mix grunt fell to the floor bleeding as Altair reached to his shoulder and drew his blade pointing it at grunt's throat.
"Next time know your opponent and i am a hell of a lot tougher than you!" Altair sheathed his blade and reached out his right hand to grunt
"What's this?" grunt said with pain in his voice
"It's called honour now c'mon take my hand and get on your feet soldier" Altair returned to his normal form and helped grunt to his feet
"How'd you learn to fight like that?" jack asked as Altair helped grunt to the elevator
"Maybe another time" Altair and grunt entered the elevator
Stopping on the third floor, Altair walked with grunt into the med bay where doctor Chakwas and mordin solus examined grunt. Mordin looked at Altair and narrowed his eyes.
"You did this didnt you?" mordin asked in his normal fast-paced voice
"He and i had a fight i won" Altair replied
"Were you going to kill him?" chakwas asked turning to Altair
"The idea crossed my mind however i figured i needed a rival and grunt fits the outfit" Altair turned to the door but grunt spoke
"Altair... next time i'll beat you" grunt said with a confident smile
"We'll see reptile" Altair grew a grin over his synthetic face
Altair went back down to the hanger where they all looked at him as he went to his table, picking up the cube his body became covered in green neon lines as the damage down to him was repaired.
"Altair mind explaining to me what you did?" veronica was slightly angry at the synthetic
"In this form i can still fight but my combat mode hasn't been engaged you call this my safety mode" Altair sat down and picked up the towel placing it on the table
Everyone went back to work as Altair closed his eyes and went into his form of sleep.
"Grunt's a strong and powerful opponent and a more powerful alley this should be fun"
Altair grew a grin as he crossed his arms while he slept.
(Meanwhile)
Shepherd was up in her room when EDI came on the intercom with the reports on Altair.
"It appears he currently only access fifteen percent of his overall power when he disabled his power he was only able to use fifty percent"
"So he could go higher?"
"Yes but it is unknown if he knows how to"
Shepherd lay down on her bed and considered the next mission she was going to a colony that had been attacked by the collectors she wondered who she should bring along.
"I think... legion for his sniper skills just in case and... Altair for his close quarters combat prowess"
