Chapter 9: Subject Zero meets the Dragon Born.

Chakwas gave Malen a white eye patch for his right eye, which was strapless. Malen thanked Chakwas for the eye patch and went back down to his quarters in the cargo bay.

Time skip: 1 hour later.

Malen had been meditating for an hour now in a similar way that Piccolo from Dragon ball Z does. He was interrupted when the sounds of the elevator doors on the other side of the room opened up revealing the occupant to be Shepard. Malen lowered himself to the floor and was now standing up. Shepard walked over to Malen with the intent to ask him a question that has been recently on his mind.

Shepard:" Hello Malen. Can I ask you a question?"

Malen:" You can."

Shepard:" If I recall correctly it was Hermaeus Mora who cast you into our galaxy right?"

Malen:" yes he was. What are you getting at Shepard?" he said waiting for Shepard to get to the point.

Shepard:" What I'm getting at is since you told me that you "are Hermaeus Mora" now, why don't you go back to your home world of Nirn. No offence meant but I am curious as to why you are still with us. I can use all the help I can get, but I can understand if you wanted to go back to your home world. So the question I want to ask is what reason are you still with us? No offence meant, I just would like to know my teams motives so I can best cooperate with them and use them effectively in combat."

Malen with a bit of depression evident on his face and a hint of sadness in his voice:" Shepard, I have been studying the religions of this galaxy's different sentient species. Do you recall the second story in the book of Genesis in the Bible?"

Shepard:" yes, it's the story of the 2 sons of Adam and Eve. The story of Cain and Able if I recall." He says with slight confusion and a bit of concern.

The story of Cain and Able is a very sad and depressing story.

Malen:" Well Commander, while I have not committed the same sin as Cain, I suffer the same curse as he did. The price I paid for getting back my freedom is the complete social scrutiny and the mark of a stranger and outcast where ever I would go in Nirn. I would be hated by most, ridiculed by all, and the only company I would have in Nirn are those of power hungry fools and demons. I have no home on Nirn anymore Shepard. Your ship is the most of a home I have now so I will defend this new home and galaxy with all of my might so that once more I may be in a place of peace, harmony, compassion, and acceptance. Besides, I also can't go back now because I'm a Daedric Lord and there is a barrier around my world that prevents the Daedra from entering."

Shepard was very taken aback by this. He fought hard to not shed tears. He had never known anyone who had to go through that, save for the Krogan and Quarians, but they at least were accepted by their own people. The way Malen was talking it sounded like not even Malen's own family would accept him back. Shepard decided that after this war was over that he would help Malen find a planet to live on that was to his liking.

Shepard:" You can make a new beginning in this galaxy Malen, I'm glad to have you on my team." He said with a smile.

Malen:" likewise Shepard:" he said as he shook Shepard's hand.

Shepard:" We will be ready for the next mission in about an hour. We are recruiting a powerful biotic named Jack. He is in a ship based prison named purgatory. You ready for it?"

Malen:" yes I will be, though I will be putting on a different set of armor. Not for protection based reasons, but for a more intimidating look."

Shepard:" hmm, can you show me what you will be wearing?" he says with curiosity.

Malen:" yes, it should not take more than a second or 2 to change."

Malen suddenly was not wearing his Dragon scale armor he was just wearing, but was somehow replaced instantly with a black armor that glowed red in certain places (It's Malen's Improved Daedric armor with Daedric tail armor).

Shepard was amazed by how quickly Malen had changed, it was as if he was wearing holographic armor the whole time with the speed at which he changed. Shepard was also impressed at how intimidating the armor really looked, it well and truly made Malen look like a demon by all rights, but Shepard noticed that he could not see Malen's eyes and wondered if Malen could even see with that helmet on, though it did add to the demonic look to the armor.

Shepard:" can you see in that armor?" he asks with concern.

Malen:" yes I can." He says in a confident voice.

Shepard:" good. Would be hard to fight in a fire fight while wearing armor that blinds you. Btw, what do you call that armor anyway? I have not seen anything like it, though it does have the same colors and tints as Terminus Armor, all be it a little bit darker." He says with curiosity.

Malen:" This is called Daedric Armor, Perhaps the best type of armor in Nirn. It is made with Ebony ingots, a material even harder than diamond in its refined state, and with the heart of a Dremora, the main species that exists in the realms of oblivion, like the one you went to when you entered the black book I gave you. The Dremora heart adds certain properties to the armor, like its red glow for instance."

Shepard was astonished by the strength of this armor. While he has not seen it in action yet, but if what Malen says is true then his armor is stronger than any other kinds of armor that are made in this galaxy, even the best ship armor is made from a processed and compressed form of diamond filament and other substances.

Shepard:" May I ask how much of this Ebony you currently have?" he asks with curiosity and excitement in his voice.

If Malen had enough Ebony to coat at least the Normandy then it will greatly help with his efforts against the collectors and reapers.

Malen:" I have about 5000 pounds of Ebony on me and I can make more in no time."

Shepard a little wide eyed at this with his jaw extending past his Adam's apple.

Shepard:" Damn! How much can you bench press?" he asks while laughing

Malen:" More than you would probably believe Shepard. But I think I do have enough to outfit this ship with it, but the metal is very heavy I'm afraid, though considering we are in outer space and that element zero makes working with heavy substances much less difficult then the weight of Ebony should not be an issue." He said returning Shepard's laugh.

Shepard:" Excellent! Next time we stop by a proper star port that can modify ship armor, I will have the Normandy retrofitted with the metal that you have." He said in an excited tone.

Malen:" Hey Shepard, we still have about an hour to kill. Would you like to do some sparing with me? I will use just a plain sword while you may use your guns. Don't worry I will switch out of this and put on something less protective for your benefit." He says with a casual yet challenging look in his eye.

Shepard:" you sure?"

Malen:" Yep!"

Malen switches out of his Daedric armor and puts on his arch mages robes, without the hood over his head, and a pair of white boots. He also equips an unenchanted imperial sword.

Malen:" You ready Shepard?" he says in a serious tone.

Malen assumes a stance similar to Ganondwarf does in Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess.

Shepard could tell he was going to be in a real fight based on the posture Malen was in and the seriousness in his voice. Shepard got out his standard issue assault rifle and aimed it at Malen.

Shepard:" Ready!" he said in a serious and prepared tone.

Malen:" Very well Shepard. Here I come." He says in a serious and threating voice that was low in tone and volume.

-Kain's theme from the Legacy of Kain series starts to play.

When Shepard started to fire rounds at Malen, Malen simply spun his sword with his left hand in order to make a shield of spinning blades that cut all the rounds in half. Malen then charged Shepard, at the speed that most humans can run at ( 5-7 miles per hour), and slashed diagonally with such speed that all that Shepard could do was block the strike with his gun, which ended up leaving a gash 1in deep into the gun. Shepard was pushed back about 2 feet from the strike and almost fell backwards. By the time Shepard regained his balance and aimed his assault rifle back at Malen, Malen was already on Shepard and preparing another strike.

Shepard tried to shoot at Malen, but Malen dodge his attacks right before he pulled the trigger, as if Malen could actually predict the time and location that Shepard would shot. Shepard had to block Malen's strike with his gun again, but this time the gun was actually cut in half and Malen followed up the vertical strike with a kick with his left leg into Shepard's chest, knocking him back about 4 feet and down on his back. Shepard thought that ranged attacks would be useless against Malen, which left Shepard a little dumfounded. He never thought that he would be bested by a person using a sword while he had an assault rifle with mass effect technology. Shepard was starting to see how skilled of a warrior Malen really was. Shepard had a thought in his head that he started to laugh at because the more he fought against Malen the more it started to seem true.

Shepard:" Holy Shit! This is like trying to fight the god of war Aries." He thought with the feeling that it was an exaggeration, but the more he fought against Malen, the more it seemed to be accurate.

Shepard tried to get some distance away from Malen by pushing him back with a concussion shot. But to Shepard's bewilderment Malen had actually caught the shot with his right hand and threw it back at Shepard, knocking Shepard back on his ass instead of Malen. Shepard was starting to get nervous and a little desperate to turn the fight to his favor, so Shepard decided to throw a flash bang grenade to perhaps blind Malen long enough for him to get a few hits in. When Shepard threw the flash bang grenade at Malen, Malen pointed his sword flat out at where the grenade was heading. Malen caught the grenade with the flat part of his sword and balanced it on the sword as he pulled the sword back and flung the grenade back at Shepard. Shepard took cover behind a box this time and managed to avoid getting blinded by his own grenade.

Shepard was starting to feel embarrassed now, but those feelings were quickly dashed aside by his amazement of Malen's swordsmanship and combat prowess. The way Malen looked as he was fighting reminded Shepard of stories of heroes in fantasies like Beowulf with the way he effortlessly darted to and fro past Shepard's attacks and had counter with such grace that it was trying to hit something in a spinning ball underwater. Shepard just could not get a hit on him. Shepard pulled out his carnifax pistol and modified the ammo to cryo rounds. He shot at the middle of Malen's spinning blade in hopes to freeze his hand so that he won't be able to use his sword anymore and therefore turn the fight to his favor. Shepard was flabbergasted when he noticed that nothing was happening when he shot the cryo rounds at Malen's hands, which puzzled Shepard to no end, and also made him a bit frustrated. Shepard did not want to give up the fight but he was starting to run out of options.

Shepard pulled out another flash bang grenade but this time he threw it low enough so that Malen could not catch it, but Malen had anticipated this and started running at Shepard to close the distance. As Shepard was about to roll the grenade under Malen and duck away from the grenade since he needed to roll it close to himself now for it to affect Malen, Malen slapped the grenade out of Shepard's left hand and delivered a hard chop with his right hand to Shepard's neck, knocking him out cold and thus ending the fight.

Time skip: 50 minutes later.

Shepard:" uugg what happened?"

Malen:" I knocked you out, the fight lasted 5 minutes and you were out for 50 minutes so I think it's about time for us to head up to the air lock. Need any help getting up?" he said with a teasing laugh.

Shepard:" ha.. no I will be fine, just need to get my eyes to focus again." He says while rubbing his eyes.

After 30 seconds of rubbing his eyes, Shepard got back on his feet and headed for the elevator with Malen close behind.

Shepard:" EDI, tell Garrus to meet us at the air lock."

EDI:" will do Shepard."

Malen and Shepard made it to the air look in 2 minutes. A minute after that Garrus was with them. Malen had also reequipped his Daedric armor and "Malen's Wrath"

Garrus:" You going to be wearing that armor Malen? Not insulting but just that it looks like you're ready to "reap" someone's soul out." He said sarcastically

Malen:" who knows Vakarian. I could be." He said with a laugh, but in a way that sounded truthful enough to make Garrus a little nervous.

The Normandy docked with the prison ship and the trio entered through the interior airlock and proceeded down a hallway that led to an elevated area where there were 3 blue suns guards stationed at. The blue suns guards were expecting Shepard, but when they saw Malen they hesitated for a second and raised their guns at him. To the guards Malen looked a bit demonic looking, but when they got a better look at Malen as the group of three approached them they rationalized that he was wearing a customized set of Terminus armor based on its color scheme. They lowered their weapons and the turian blue suns guard standing in front of the stairs, wearing a helmet with a teal glowing visor, was the first to address them.

Turian guard:" Greetings Shepard. Your package is being prepped. I must ask you while you are on the ship for you to relieve your weapons." He said in a monotone voice as if he has gone through this a thousand times.

Shepard and Garrus reacted almost instantly, pulling out there weapons and aiming them at the 2 guards and the guards reacted to this in the same manner. Malen had his right hand on the hilt of his sword and was in a stance similar to that of samurais when they are battle ready.

Turian guard:" it's just standard procedure here Shepard." He said trying to calm the group down."

Shepard:" It's my standard procedure to keep my gun." He said in a cold tone with his gun still pointing at the guards.

A Turian, Warden Kuril, who did not have a helmet on walked up to the 3 guards.

Kuril:" let them proceed; this facility is more than secure enough to handle 3 armed guests." He says in a calm manner as he dismisses the turian guard in front of the trio.

Kuril:" We are bringing Jack out of cryo and as soon as the funds are clear you can be on your way. If you'll follow me to Outprocessing for the pickup Commander."

Shepard:" lead the way."

The trio followed the warden through the door at the top of the stairs that opens up to an enclosed hallway that has windows on both sides that depicts that the hallway that they were in is elevated and looks over a portion of the prison.

Kuril:" Cell block 2. As you can see, we keep tight control over the population." He says as he turns around and stops for a moment.

The group then proceeds as Kuril continues on about the facility.

Kuril:" Each prisoner's cell is a self-contained modular unit. I've blown a few out the air locks as an example. The ship is made up of 30 cell blocks identical to this one- we house thousands of criminals. We can put the whole place on lockdown on a moment's notice. Nothing goes wrong here."

Kuril stops and turns around to address any questions Shepard may have after looking at what the facility was like from what they saw through the windows of the hallway they were currently in.

Shepard:" What brought about the concept of this prison and how does it receive its prisoners?"

Kuril:" I came upon the idea after witnessing many of the galaxy's most hardened criminals be released so they could continue on with their crimes. The idea was to have criminals be locked up in space. As to how the criminals are received: A planet's government sends to us their most hardened criminals that they need to get off their planet and they pay us well to keep them here. If a planet does not pay then we tell them that we cannot maintain the criminal without their support and will be forced to release him back on his home world at a unspecified place and time."

Malen:" so you're using xenophobia of sociopaths being released back on their world as leverage for the planet's government to pay and keep them here."

Kuril:" you don't have to agree with my methods but don't question my motives." He says in an angered tone of voice.

Kuril:" These are despicable people and I'm keeping them locked up."

Shepard:" Let's get this over with." Wanting to not waste any more time with questions.

As the group continues Garrus asks if there had been any escape attempts.

Kuril:" We're in space- they have nowhere to go and they know it. But still we excise extreme caution. These are dangerous individuals. We have many ways to control the population. I'm going to confirm that the funds from Cerberus cleared. Outprocessing is straight down this hallway. Just keep going the interrogation rooms and the supermax wing." He says and walks away from the group.

Kuril:" I'll catch up with you later, Shepard." He says as he is walking back down the hallway they came from.

Malen thought that the last thing that the warden said sounded a little cryptic in meaning, as if he was expecting him to still be here when they got Jack. Malen sensed deception and was on guard for any "surprises" to wait for them in Outprocessing.

Along the way to Outprocessing: the trio spots a Turian guard in front of a holding cell where another turian was inside pummeling a prisoner. Malen was disgusted by the use of such violence to get a prisoner to admit to something.

Malen approaches the turian guard standing in front of the cell.

Malen:" Imprison an animal long enough then its only desire is liberty. Treat an animal harshly enough and it soon becomes a beast that would rather face the void than you. Soon truth and lies mean nothing to them so long as they can maintain what existence they have. You do yourself an injustice and disservice by wasting your time kicking sand into the eyes of men who have nothing else but the cloths on their backs and the thoughts in their minds. In actuality, imprisonment can become so harsh in of itself that they would prefer physical torture than isolation since stagnation cruelly degrades the minds of men."

The turian guard, Shepard, and Garrus were awed by the wisdom in Malen's words. The turian guard thought over what Malen told him and concluded that he was right and told his partner to stop the interrogation.

After the turian guard inside the cell stops pummeling the prisoner the trio proceed to the other cell that was about 6 feet away from the one they were just at. Inside the cell was an average looking, buzzed cut, white male human.

Prisoner 780:" Hey! Hey guys, over here. Let me ask you something." He asks in an excited and anxious voice.

Shepard decides to stop and listen to this prisoner's question and goes up to the cell door to listen.

Prisoner 780:" If you're buying prisoners, can you buy me? Man, I don't care where you take me or what you do to me; it's got to be better than this."

Malen:" We are here for Jack."

Prisoner 780:" Jack? Forget what I just said. I don't want to go nowhere with you."

The trios stepped away from the cell door and proceed through the next door That opens into another hallway that shortly ends to another door straight forward, but has a curved hallway branching off to the right of the short hallway they were in.

The group went through the door that opened up to the Outprocessing room where there was nothing more than a few terminals, a few desks, and a few large machines. On the far end of the room, to the right, was another door which the group assumed was where Jack was being held for their pick up. When the group approached the door and opened it, they instantly noticed that it was an empty cell and all 3 suspected treachery and readied themselves for whatever surprise was about to come. Warden Kuril then spoke over the ship wide intercom.

Kuril:" My apologies, Shepard. You're more valuable as a prisoner than a customer. Drop your weapons and proceed into this open cell. You will not be harmed."

Shepard:" Let me see if I can change your mind." He says trying to defuse the tense situation.

Shepard's attempt to solve this situation diplomatically fails as Kuril orders the security systems to be activated. Shepard and Garrus prepare themselves for the security countermeasures and personnel to arrive by taking cover behind the desks, while Malen stands out in the open with his sword drawn. Shepard first thought about telling Malen to get to cover, but quickly stopped himself as he remembered a bit of what Malen was capable of and wanted to see how he would handle this combat situation.

The door on the far side of the room opens up to reveal 2 turian blue suns mercs and 2 human blue suns mercs along with 2 FENRIS Mechs, batarian legionnaire, 3 human mercs, and another turian merc following up behind. Before the mercs and mechs could even enter the room Malen had slashed his sword 4 times vertically and 4 times horizontally: making a 4 by 4 grid of red energy that quickly traveled across the room and into the open door way.

The blue suns mercs and mechs could do nothing even if they could react quickly enough to even scream in terror before they were literally cut into square pieces of bloody meat and electric discharging metal that fell to the floor with a squish and soft tapping of the metal floor. The grid of red energy dissipated, to Malen desire, before it reached where the hallway curved to the right.

Despite being amazed at the devastation Malen Unleashed so quickly and so precisely, Shepard and Garrus followed Malen through the door out Outprocessing, but before they could catch up with Malen they heard the distinct sounds of mechs exploding, turian screams that eventually stopped and a batarian trying to call for reinforcements but was cut short with the sounds of splat, squish, and thud.

When Garrus and Shepard rounded the corner, to the left, that led to the supermax: they were greeted to the sight of broken metal, dead turians that had huge cuts in their bodies and a batarian with a volleyball sized whole in his chest. They walked past the obstacle of broken mechs and dead blue suns bodies and reached where the next door was, which they noticed has just closed, meaning Malen had just went through.

They opened the door that opened up to a small room. They saw Malen standing 5 feet away from a desk where 2 scientists where cowering under. Both of them had seen through live security vid and the screams and the noises they heard coming from the other side of the door what Malen was capable of doing and were terrified beyond belief.

Scientists:" Stay away from us you monster!" they screamed in terror from under the desk.

Malen started to laugh aloud, but it was not a pleasant kind of laugh; it was a kind of laugh that could send chills of fear down the spins of even the most war hardened krogan.

Malen:" hahahahhhha! You think I'm a monster?! Hahahahaheh… Then what would you call..." Malen started to say, but he stopped mid-sentence.

The sudden stop in the dialog terrified and concerned the scientists enough to have them look over the top of the table to see why he suddenly stopped talking. What they saw horrified them too much to scream, but try as they might they could not look away.

Malen was hunched over and a thick, black aura enveloped his body. Malen's body began to grow and kept growing until he had to bend over and stand on all fours since his body was still growing even when he was pushing up against the ceiling. As Malen's body was growing, it was also changing in shape. At first it was hard to even decipher what Malen was changing into, but as the seconds past by that felt like an eternity to everyone in the room: everyone noticed that Malen was being covered in hair that was as dark as the void of space.

Malen's arms had grown much longer, with much larger hands that had claws that reached from the top of a human male's head to his sternum. Malen had also grown a long, black furred tail that was a good 2 to 4 feet longer than the height of the average human male. During the transformation: Shepard, Garrus, and the 2 scientists could hear the growling and grumbling of a monstrous beast, the likes of which they have never heard before. When the transformation was completed, The monster before them, which used to be human sized, roared with such beastly strength and ferocity that the sheer volume of it had temporarily deafened everyone else in the room and anyone who was using the intercoms to listen to what was happening in that room. Garrus had no idea what the monster was, but the 2 human male scientists and Shepard knew what it was from human horror stories and folklore. Malen had transformed into a GIANT, void black furred, crimson red glowing eyed, Werewolf.

(To help with imagining what Malen looked like and sounded like in the room just look up the Skyrim mod Heart of the Beast - Werewolf Sound and Texture Overhaul by NsJones, It's the alpha werewolf look except darker and MUCH bigger and the Alpha roar, except even louder and lasts about 6 seconds longer. The YouTube link is watch?v=3I_19XQzEbQ.)

When Malen roared with such beastly and apex strength with terrifying might, the 2 scientists were so scared that they actually had heart attacks and died on the spot.

Shepard and Garrus had been forced out of the room by Malen's enormous size and did not see the scientists die. Malen could see through the window at the front of the room a metal ramp that led to a platform that had the top of a cylinder like object jutting from the middle. Malen swiped his massive paw throw the console, glass, and metal framing that held the glass in place. The hole that Malen's swipe left was large enough for him to "step" down to the lower floor.

When Malen landed on the floor where Jack was in cryo, 3 YMIR mechs activated and aimed there weapons at Malen, but before the mechs had the chance to shot even one slug Malen had destroyed them with a single swipe of his left paw. Malen then smashed his way through the door behind him (Malen's Werewolf form was too big for him to fit through it so he had to smash in the metal around the door so that he could go through).

After Malen had left through the door, an automated arm pulled the cryo cylinder out and revealed Jack to be a light brown shaded Woman with tattoos covering almost every part of her skin.

Garrus:" that's Jack?"

Jack then woke up and broke free from her restraints, shook her head a little and looked around the room. The area in front of her looked like a huge bomb went off and tore the front of the room in half.

Jack was not really alarmed by what she was looking at; in fact, she was thinking that now she didn't have so many goddamn obstacles in her way to freedom. She ran forward and through the hole that Malen had torn open. When Jack was out of sight Garrus shouted that they needed to get down there, and the quickest way to do that was to jump down through the hole that Malen made.

Shepard and Garrus jumped down through the destroyed observation window and down to the cryo room with a bit of a thud as they rolled forward and turned around to face the next hole that Malen made in the ship. Before Garrus and Shepard proceed to follow where Jack must have gone, the entire room seemed to shake so violently that Garrus and Shepard fell to floor, hard.

Garrus:" Ouch! Damnit! That was like getting punched in the face by a krogan." He groaned.

Shepard:" No Kidding?!" he said sarcastically while also groaning.

They soon got back up on their feet and proceeded through the torn hole.

Malen was tearing through blue suns forces like a cutting lazer through paper, eating the still beating hearts of many of the blue suns mercs, and destroying the structural integrity of hallways along the way. Kuril was shouting through the ship wide intercom for the guards to restore order, recapture Jack alive, and BLOW THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF THAT HAIRY MONSTER!

A VI voice frequently came over the intercom and stated that certain levels of the ship had no survivors whenever the ship violently shook.

At one point a batarian officer was pissing Malen off so much that he decided to use him as an example to the other blue suns mercs in the area. Malen picked up the unlucky batarian, forced him into his mouth, and swallowed him whole while he was still alive. The other mercs looked on in horrified expressions that looked like the color of their faces was gone. The batarian that was now inside Malen's stomach was screaming out for help, but all the mercs heard was a muffled sound that came from Malen's lower abdomen. The noise continued on and was slowly dying out and eventually stopped all together.

Malen:" ANYONE Else FEEL like PISSING ME OFF!? If not then lay down your weapons and surrender at once or else I might eat you whole as well!" Malen growled in a very low and beast like tone.

3 of the blue suns mercs in the area died of heart attacks while the rest threw down their weapons and cried loudly in terror and pleading to not be eaten as they fell to the floor in a surrendering fashion.

Malen:" good, now don't move your pitiful asses anywhere or I might also eat your very spirits!"

Malen then went through the rest of the way unhindered until he reached a large room with 3 blue glowing pillars and a raised platform at the far end of the room. On top of it was Warden Kuril.

Kuril:" You Monster! How many of my men have you killed!? For that I'm going to kill you and sell your hide and hang your head on my wall as a trophy." He said- full of rage.

Malen:" heh! Armies of soldiers better than you have tried and failed miserably." He mocked.

Malen then charged forward on all fours and leaped forward over the barriers and the declined walkway and all the way up to the height that Kuril was.

Kuril:" ha! You seem to have the intelligence of an animal if you think you can get through my shie.." he started saying, but was cut short when Malen went through the shield around the platform he was on like it was not even there.

Malen grabbed Kuril with his right hand and raised him to eye level.

Malen:" I am giving you only one chance. Surrender or die by my hand." He growled in a demanding and threatening tone.

Kuril:" Go back to HELL Monster!:" he spat angrily and defiantly at Malen.

Malen:" So be it."

Malen, in a swift motion, bit off his head, chewed it, and swallowed it. Malen then threw Kuril's headless corpse at the nearest wall with his right hand in a backwards motion. Kuril's body hit the wall with enough force that all that was left of him was nothing more than a bloody stain.

Malen then proceed down the hallway he didn't destroy yet and found his way back to where the Normandy was docked. Malen decided to wait there until Jack got there since this was the only way off the ship.

Time skip: 5 minute later.

Jack made her way through all the carnage and destruction that was unleashed along the way to the shuttle bay. She noticed that there were 6 survivors that were unarmed, facing down on the floor, and crying like little bitches that had no balls. Jack normally would have just either left them there to rot or simply kill them, but She wanted to know what the fuck tore this place to all shit. Jack knew she was strong, but she admitted to herself that whatever tore through here was even stronger.

Jack:" Hey! You there! The little bitch in the corner! The fuck tore through here and ripped off your dicks."

She walks towards a turian that was huddled in a corner with his hands over his head and speaking in hysterical and frantic tones.

At first the turian raised his voice a few octaves in a high pitched scream as he turned around and was going to beg for mercy but say that it was Jack and he was somehow relieved, he was afraid it was the monster coming back to finish him off.

Frightened blue suns turian:" ttthhhh those red glowing reds, massive claws, menacing breath, the blood curdling screams of my squad mates, that awful squishing noise. Please don't bring it back here.. PLEASE!" he said in a desperate and begging tone.

Jack:" Bring what the fuck back here!?" she said in an irritated and demanding tone

Turian:" That GIANT black furred monster. It ate my CO whole and alive and it threatened the rest of us that if we did not surrender it would do that same to us."

Jack:" Thank you! And for that info I'll put you out of your pussy ass live."

Jack cocked her right arm back and it flared with blue biotics. As she punched forward she heard the Turian thank her. After she punched the Turians head clean off Jack proceeded through the destroyed hallways that led to the shuttle bay.

Jack:" damn. Wonder what those idiots did to piss this "monster" off" she thought to herself.

After passing though several more destroyed areas, Jack finally made it back to the shuttle bay. When she went through the door that lead to the small incline where 3 blue suns mercs were stationed, she saw 3 smashed corpses that were stuck in the walls. Jack's eyes followed down the hallway that was splattered with blood and other viscera, and to the left, through a window that looked out into space, was a ship with the Cerberus symbol on it.

To say that she was livid when she saw that Cerberus was here would be a monumental understatement. Then she turned her gaze back to the hallway, next to the door that led to the air lock of the Normandy was a black furred creature with red glowing eyes. It was so big that it had to stand on all fours and even then the ceiling creaked with the force that its back was pushing against it.

Jack:" Hey! Ape shit doggy. I know that you can understand me and talk- Want to help me murder everyone on that ship and go pirating with it?"

Malen laughed aloud.

Malen:" I'm afraid that you are a little miss informed. While I do not work for Cerberus or agree with any of their actions, I am currently working with Commander Shepard to stop the collectors from abducting human colonists. The reason why we came here on a Cerberus ship is that Cerberus was the only organization willing to go after the collectors and stop them; however, we do not work for Cerberus, we are using them and their resources. We are currently in need of special recruits that can handle the monumental task set before us and you were on a dossier that was given to Shepard since you are a powerful biotic. I can sense great anger from you towards Cerberus- I guess that they must have done a great and terrible sin against you to generate such wrath in you. I'll tell you what Jack, if you come aboard and any Cerberus officials wrong you in any way I will personally eat their still beating hearts and redecorate the Normandy with their insides, along with any other demands you have of course." He said with the best smile a werewolf can make.

Malen could tell what kind of person Jack was based on the way she looked and the brief request she made.

Jack was starting to like Malen already, he was considerate of Jack and the way he was talking about how he would tear open anyone that wronged her was flattering (not really kiss ass since it involved tearing peoples' asses to shreds)

Jack:" all right, I bet that ship has loads of Cerberus data files, I want access to those files."

Malen:" I will have Shepard give you full access."

Jack:" you better be straight up with me!"

Malen:" there is a reason why they call me man's best friend after all." He said with a grin.

Jack couldn't help but grin just a little herself.
