Chapter 9
Advancing to the Warlord
"JEDORE YOU'RE DEAD!" Ty roared. He pulled out his guns and started chasing after Jedore and Tarak who had already walked away. His bloodlust was raging within him as pushed his way through crowds of people until he found the betrayers in the Omega market area, "TARAK! I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR FUCKING EYES OUT FOR THAT!" At the sight of him the two decided to run with the warrior hot on their tails, shooting at them every chance he had.
They had stolen his life from him and now all that was left of him was an empty shell devoid of all emotions except for the dire need of revenge. Ty chased them across many streets of Omega until Tarak pulled Jedore with him around a corner. As the former mercenary turned the corner with intent to kill them wherever they could hide, he hit his skids and forced himself to a halt.
There was an overwhelming amount of Blue Suns aiming at him, a death squad just waiting to grant him an unfulfilling death. He might have been able to take some down and get to Tarak and Jedore in the back, but there was no way he'd survive and if he didn't actually get to kill him then all the deaths that they caused would go unavenged. Ty turned and began running back through Omega to his bike making him the hunted once again as the Blue Suns followed him relentlessly.
The docking station was quite a distance from his location but at the pace he was running and with the Blue Suns fire cracking at him like a whip he cleared the distance quicker than he believed was possible. Ty turned the corner that led to his docking zone with hope of getting away without getting shot but as the hope ran through his mind it was immediately deflated when he caught two rounds, one in his left shoulder and one through his right side.
Normally he would have turned around and shot who did it but he got through the last set of doors and shut them behind him before hitting the locking mechanism with a sabotage program that would keep it locked for a few hours. Ty applied some medi-gel to his wounds before getting on his bike with pain consuming his heart that followed him for the next six years.
Ty flung up in his bed with a burning pain in his shoulder and his side as he pulled out his pistol from under his pillow. His breathing was hard and fast as he scanned his room for hostiles. When he finally realized it was just a past memory, he let out a sigh and placed the gun to his head and pushed it into his temple a couple of times. "Get out of my head." He muttered.
The nightmares were never ending. They were always of his past failures and they never allowed for him to wake until after he had gone through the failure again. Maybe it was the spirits idea of punishment; make him relieve the same failures over and over again for all of eternity until one day he'd just pull the trigger to end it all. He probably deserved it.
His hydraulic doors opened and Shepard came walking in as he was banging the gun against his head and telling the memories to get out of his head. The look she gave him was of worry and shock, not that he blamed her. Seeing someone with a gun to their head was never something easy to walk into though Ty had no personal experience with that other than with himself.
Shepard went to step towards him, probably to grab the pistol from him, but Ty just stuck it back under his pillow before nodding at her in greeting. "Hey Shepard." His voice was quiet and burdened by the memory, or nightmare for how it felt.
"Hey, are you alright Ty?" She asked in a soft, soothing voice.
Ty chuckled to himself despite the sincerity of her question. He hadn't been alright in eight years save for a few moments when things were okay, but it always wound up back the way it was. "Mentally or physically?" He asked in return.
"How are you physically?"
Perhaps she was just worried about his capabilities on the battlefield at this point. That's all that really mattered, wasn't it? Being able to pull his weight in the crew to make sure they got through this battle. Ty shrugged. "Except the burning in my shoulder and side I'm fine, but those are mental."
"Having nightmares about your past?"
She asked it as someone who dealt with the same problems though he had no doubts that she had her own set of nightmares. Military life, especially with her background, was not made of sunshine and butterflies. He sighed again seeing no sense in lying about something so obvious. "Yeah."
The N7 walked in further until she reached the edge of his bed and sat down. She looked at him with curiosity and care befitting of someone who had known him longer than she had. "Do you want to talk about it?"
Ty wasn't sure if he should continue opening up to the woman but she seemed to genuinely care, something that was odd to him since most everyone he knew, aside from those he chose to call friends, were out for themselves. She was the one who ordered the others to bring him back, she had to be the one to do it, there was no way that the Illusive Man or Miranda would have done it out of the goodness in their hearts without changing him in a hundred different ways.
Ty owed her for giving him a second chance and not just killing him when he had asked her back on that shuttle. "As you now know I can see past memories of my own and the memories of everything around me at whim. Well as helpful as that is for things like looking for someone or looking for clues, reliving my own past memories has become a curse. When I revisit past memories, it brings me into the memory which means if it's something I was a part of and I got hurt I feel the pain again or I feel the emotions and pains of others who were there. When I sleep my mind can revisit those memories despite me not wanting to, for instance like when I got shot in my arm and side which is why I have burning pains right now." He explained.
Shepard looked intrigued by what he was explaining about his ability, he also saw a bit of sympathy in her eyes but he ignored that. "Let me see if I'm still following, so you can relive any moment in your life or anyone else's?"
He nodded. "I can see any time, any place and exactly what happened and the emotions I felt or someone else felt all over again as long as I have a physical connection or I can see what I'm trying to figure out the past on. Everything leaves an imprint of memory and when I'm looking for it I can feel the energy it gives off…actually let me back up because I wasn't completely truthful. I can't remember everything, my memory starts like from age four and up but I'm kind of thankful because I wouldn't want to relive my birth, that would be really disgusting and painful I bet."
She nodded slightly. "True you're lucky there. Any idea how you gained such an ability?"
"No idea. My father doesn't have it and whoever my mother was didn't either."
"Did she abandon you all?" Ty nodded, their mother decided after giving birth to him that raising her children wasn't in her best interest and left them with their father. "Do you hate your mother?"
"She made her choice." Ty answered without blinking.
"That isn't really an answer."
"Can't hate someone you never knew. What about you and your parents?" He asked, changing the subject.
It was fairly obvious the Commander had caught on to his changing of topic towards her parents since her face at first was of question then grew into a small frown. Ty wasn't trying to be subtle about it but he did feel the way he said. She made her choice not to stick around and he couldn't hate her since he didn't know her. She was wrong in her actions in his opinion but everyone has to follow their own paths and if she felt her path was elsewhere then who was he to judge her for it?
"Well I guess that's fair enough. I've asked you a lot of questions and since you're a part of my squad that makes you eligible to ask me some questions."
"What, you don't like reporters asking you questions?" Ty asked with a knowing smile.
Shepard scoffed. "I hate reporters. I suppose Emily Wong wasn't so bad, but that Al-Jilani woman…I wish I had punched her in the face, but answering her questions honestly then stonewalling her with a confidential information line was good enough. I'm just glad I haven't seen her since I woke up."
Ty had seen the interview a few months after it had happened but he was in agreement with the sapphire eyed woman, he too wished she'd have punched her in the face. Shepard readjusted herself as she crossed her left leg under her right. "I grew up a spacer; parents were in the Alliance going from posting to posting. I love my parents though I'm not sure how much they'd approve of what I'm doing now."
"You're saving the galaxy, cut yourself some slack. You do anything interesting in the Alliance exception of N7 and Saren?"
"There were some interesting things but nothing that I'd say topped those."
"Any regrets about joining the Alliance and following your parent's footsteps?" Ty asked.
She shook her head. "No, I loved every second of it…well not every second. One of the biggest regrets I have is when I lost my whole squad on Akuze to a Thresher Maw attack…I was the only survivor or at least I thought until I met another who was worse off than me…he ended up killing himself."
He knew the story of Akuze, anyone who knew anything about Shepard knew that she had lost her whole squad to Thresher Maws but the former mercenary hadn't heard about the other survivor who ended up killing himself, not until now that was. A pang of guilt filled him for making Shepard go through it again. "Sorry Shepard. I didn't mean to make you relive that, I should be the only one cursed to relive bad memories."
Shepard shook her head. "No one should be cursed with that. Are you ready for the mission?"
"Yeah let me just get ready, I'll meet you up in CIC." Ty said.
The N7 nodded and left his room to go get ready herself. After taking a quick shower and drying off, the warrior proceeded to dress himself in his burned muscle tank top with the hood up, black clamdiggers and black boots and then put on all of his weapons. Ty left his room and headed to the elevator to meet up with Shepard and the Jack woman who she had said she was bringing along to go down to whatever god forsaken planet the Krogan was on.
He hit the button on the elevator and waited for the doors to open and let him get in. As he waited for the doors to open he began to wish that instead of what he had done for the last ten years he spent the time to invent something to make the elevators go faster.
The doors finally opened revealing a woman full of tattoos from her skull to her waist, literally. Her face did not have any tattoos on it; it was one long black designed tattoo that stretched from both of her temples and around the back of her bald head. Otherwise everything from her neck down and all the way around had beautifully designed tattoos. She was wearing nothing but some type of straps that clasped at her neck and hardly covered anything save for the nipples of her breasts and a pair of orange pants that kept it a mystery if she had tattoos on her legs and feet as well. Judging on how the ink seemed to continue past her waistline, Ty would bet she did. Along with her clothing she wore an attitude that spelt not to fuck with her if you wanted to remain fully intact.
"You Jack?" Ty asked.
"Why the fuck do you care?" Jack asked in return.
Definitely Jack. I'm Ty and I care because if you weren't my next question would be are you going up to CIC." He explained as he walked in.
"Listen I hate Cerberus, I don't really give a fuck who you are and if you're looking for a friend or a girlfriend I'm not interested." Jack said as the elevator began to go up.
Ty chuckled; well she's going to be fun to get to know. Can't wait to see how she is on the battlefield. "Nice to meet you too. I guess you were one of the select few who didn't read about me. I'm a most wanted criminal who has a very passionate hate for Cerberus since they killed my grandfather. I got taken out a week and a half ago while recruiting the Turian and as for friendship I'm not looking for friends or girlfriends. I tried the whole girlfriend gig, it didn't work out, but it's good to know you aren't going to be all over me."
"No wonder you look like hell. Just remember I don't want you getting close to me."
"Cool with me, just don't hit on me or try and get me to be your boyfriend. I hate having someone trying to be my girlfriend and having to shoot people down that think I look like hell when they look like they've been through a lot worse than me."
The doors opened right on time and Ty walked out with a smirk before Jack could say anything. "Hey asshole, you can't just say that and walk away!" Jack argued while catching up to him.
"There you go already acting like we are dating. I'm sorry Jack I can't be in a relationship with you, so please don't hit on me." He said in a serious tone but he was really just having fun with her.
"Wha- but I wasn't trying to…you know what, fuck you."
"No thanks Jack, I'm sorry."
"God dammit stop acting like I'm trying to hook up with you asshole." Jack said, clearly getting more irritable.
"I'm not you're the one wanting to fuck me and trying to start an argument like we are in a relationship and I told you I can't." Ty said with a smile as he walked up the stairs toward the cockpit where he saw Shepard fully geared up talking with the pilot.
Jack finally caught up to him and punched him in his right arm really hard which he felt as if it were a sharp sting, but for Jack it backfired. The cybernetics had seemed to make his right arms muscles much harder than they had been since Jack immediately began trying to shake the pain in her hand away. "Ow! Damn it to fucking hell, is your arm made of fucking metal?"
"Nope, just rock hard muscle mixed with mostly cybernetic tissues since, you know, I took a carnage blast from a shotgun and had a missile explode ten feet away from me. Maybe you should've paid attention to the goings of the crew and cared what happened to me so you wouldn't have just hurt yourself Jack." He retorted with a humorous smirk.
"You're a fucking asshole."
They reached the cockpit where the pilot and EDI were bickering back and forth. "You're just upset because every image of me you have looks like a dream sequence." The pilot said.
"Joker." Shepard chided.
"Fine. Ah, looks like your new recruits are here Shepard." Joker said as he looked around her.
Shepard turned around to see Ty and Jack standing almost side by side. She nodded to them to which Ty and Jack nodded back. "Hey Shepard, EDI nice to see you, and Joker I guess." Ty greeted not familiar with the pilot.
"It is pleasing to see you as well Ty." EDI responded.
"Sooo, he kisses the A.I.s ass?" Joker questioned towards Shepard.
Well it seemed the pilot wasn't exactly a big fan of the A.I. but it also seemed like Ty had been the only one to really take a likening to her, exception of the N7. "Not my thing, but I hear your mother has a habit of getting on her knees to do more than kiss ass." He retorted.
"Hey, leave my mother out of this. I may have brittle bones but I'll kick your ass." Joker retorted.
Oh right, Joker, Shepard's pilot with brittle bones disease. Smart ass as well I read so let's see if he can go toe to toe with me. "Are you going to break your arm at me or are you going to crack your bones until I airlock myself out, unless you plan on battling sarcasm which I can assure you I'll kick your ass in."
Jack was staring at the former mercenary with a small smirk forming and as Joker stared at him slack jawed. Obviously he had never been battled in sarcasm before, or if he had then he had usually always won. "Shepard, I think Tyler Rhoddy will make a great addition to your mission." EDI commented.
Ty smiled and bowed his head to EDI. "Thank you."
"I like this guy." Jack said with a smirk to Shepard.
The purple eyed man couldn't stop himself. "There you go again Jack, damn how many times do I have to tell you." Jack went to punch him again in his right arm but his smirk stopped her. "That worked out really well for you last time."
The tattooed woman held her fist up a little longer judging the pros and cons of punching him before lowering her hand. "Damn it you fucking asshole, why do you have to be such a smartass."
Ty pointed at Joker. "And leave Joker to handle it? I don't think so."
"I see you are great a making friends Ty. Come on you two, we have a Krogan Warlord to recruit." Shepard said.
"Let's go then," Ty said with a nod. "EDI take care of the ship, Joker you can pick up your jaw now." The Commander walked out first with a smirk on her face due to his comment with the tattooed pair following behind until they reached the elevator. "What planet are we going down to?" He asked as the elevator brought them down.
"Korlus. EDI picked up scans of activity down there and it seems the Blue Suns are with him. Whether or not he is there with them willingly I don't know."
Korlus…that means. "Jedore." Ty muttered under his breath.
"What was that?" Jack questioned.
The purple eyed man shook his head. "Nothing I'm certain of yet."
Both women looked at him with confusion but Jack shrugged it off as Shepard still stared at him. If she was down there then he would be able to take her out and only have one last member to hunt. She'd have answers to the questions he sought since she brought the four together to betray him. Tarak the negotiator, Jedore the rat and gun hand, and Jason the deceiver would all be dead by the end of the day and then he'd only have one step left, the last person who had a hand in the deaths of all his friends.
The doors opened bringing Ty out of his thoughts back to the real world. Shepard had had her eyes on him the whole time and knew something was up by her suspicions look. They all exited and made their way into the shuttle which for the former mercenary was a little difficult since the last time he had been in the shuttle he had died. The thoughts of it all toyed with his already distracted mind. They all got seated and the shuttle took off and began flying down to the planet where a battle seemed to be raging. "Seems the Warlord might be trapped down there." Jack said.
This was the planet and Ty knew Jedore was here. "She's here." He said while looking out his window.
"Who is?" Shepard asked.
He hadn't realized he had said it out loud since he had intended for the thought to stay a thought. "A woman in the Blue Suns named Jedore, me and her have some unfinished business." Ty said leaving it vague.
"How do you know she is down here?" Jack asked.
"I ran with the Suns for a few years and I paid attention to everything about them and everything that was going on around me until they killed my squad. I had heard she had been stationed here and had planned to kill her, just never got around to it…this was going to be our next target after we took out the facility my brother and father just took out. You said this guys a Krogan Warlord, right Shepard?" Shepard nodded causing him to shake his head. Knowing her she is probably trying to do something outrageously stupid. "Jedore always thought she was better and smarter than the others. She wanted an unstoppable group of mercs and she is probably going about it some really bad way."
"So you're from a family of killers and you're smart."
"Jack do I have to tell you- ow!" Ty was interrupted by Jack kicking him in the shin.
"Shut it, dick." She stated.
"Guess I don't." Ty said with a smile.
Shepard leaned forward with a grin on her face. "Geez aren't you two just perfect for each other."
"Ha! He couldn't last with me." Jack said smirk.
"Funny, I was going to say the exact thing just saying she couldn't last with me."
"Alright enough flirting you two, we have a job to do." Shepard said as the shuttle began to slow.
"I'm not flirting with him." Jack retorted defensively.
"This is looking to turn out into a great…acquaintanceship." Ty joked as the shuttle landed
The warrior was the first one to hop down and out of the shuttle into a run to reach the nearby low wall that was outside of the shuttle for cover as the others followed. Gunfire echoed in the distance but none of it was at the three. Whatever was going on was definitely either a coup or some sort of sick target practice. As Shepard began talking to the pair about the situation, the sound of a very annoying woman's voice on a loud speaker giving orders began blaring over the battlefield. Her voice brought back a string of bad memories from the day they first met to the day she killed everyone he called friend.
Every fiber in Ty's being yearned to kill her and he was going to do it as painfully as possible to make up for Tarak's easy death. "Great, we have to listen to this bitch bark orders to her people, and I thought I hated Jedore's voice in person." He grumbled.
"Are you going to use your pistols, sniper or tomahawks?" Jack asked.
"Probably all of them by the time this is over, but for now pistols if you must know." Ty said as he pulled his pistols out.
"I just hope you can handle your guns as good as you can talk shit." She retorted.
"Get a room you two."
They started walking towards the gunfire going around checking corners until they ran into a group of five Blue Suns. Everyone took cover and started shooting at each other and Ty couldn't believe the lack of strategy the men had, but then again he was thankful they weren't very smart. "Be right back." He told the two women. Ty hit his cloak and put his pistols away as he snuck up on the Blue Suns who were all to focused on Shepard's and Jack's covering fire to notice his footprints in the ground moving towards them. The warrior pulled out his tomahawks as he got in range and then the killing started.
Ty axed two of the mercenaries in the back of their skulls, killing them instantly. Before his cloak went off he left his left tomahawk in one of their skulls and took his right one out and threw it into the Turian on his left, impaling it right in his neck. His cloak went off right as he punched the mercenary on his right rapidly in the chest not giving him time to react then finished it by slamming his right fist into his face, which was covered by a helmet, but his hand broke the mask into the man's face. The purple eyed man pulled his right pistol out with his left hand and killed the last mercenary as he stared in awe at his right hand and how much force he generated with it.
He hadn't considered how hard he could hit before but he never remembered hitting so hard with so little effort. It seemed he needed to learn his own strength again. Shepard and Jack joined him and Jack said, "Damn, and I thought I could crush someone's face in."
"I barely hit him. I can't imagine what a full force hit would've done." Ty said putting his pistol away and grabbing his tomahawks.
"You've got to learn your strength you have in your arm because it's more than it was. You need to be careful so you don't hurt yourself or someone we want alive." Shepard told him.
Ty nodded, if he happened to go off on someone and they needed the person they would probably be dead before anyone could stop him. "True. Come on, those were just five guys. We've got a long way to go knowing Jedore."
Shepard motioned them to follow and started walking towards the main facility, as they did they ran into a wounded Blue Sun whining to himself. "Shit…shit it hurts. I'm gonna bleed out...shit…shit shit."
He focused his mind on the man then opened his eyes and saw him get shot in the lower side. He blinked away the memory and said, "He's milking it. I've been shot and I know a bad wound that'll make you bleed out. His isn't that bad."
"He doesn't need to know that." Shepard said with a smile.
Ty smirked in return and stood back as she started working her negotiation magic on the man. "What was that you did with your eyes?" The tattooed woman next to him asked.
"I can see past memories if I focus my mind on what I want to see. It's a rare gift that only me and my brother have, but as I've told Shepard it's as much of a gift as a curse."
"Are you sure? I have a nice dose of medi-gel ready to be used." Shepard taunted the mercenary.
"Shit, what do you want?" The wounded mercenary questioned.
"So you can just read someone's mind or past without them knowing?"
Ty shook his head. "No, well yes I can do it without the other person feeling anything but it's not necessarily reading minds. Let's say I wanted to see where you got the tattoo on your head. I could focus on it and see you at a tattoo parlor or wherever getting it, but I couldn't see why you wanted to get it."
She shrugged. "Whatever you say, as long as you don't mess with my mind."
"If you hurry you can find a nice shaded spot to bleed out at." Shepard said.
"Ah shit…ah shit." The man groaned as he limped away.
"That was real cute Shepard." Ty said with a chuckle.
"I thought so too. Come on, let's go."
They all walked along the path until they were met with two mercenaries on a balcony and three on the ground. Ty pulled out his rifle as he ran into a low cover. One of the mercenaries had a rocket launcher he soon found out as the cover he was behind shook and his ears popped. The former mercenary got out of cover and held his breath as he aimed at the one with a rocket launcher. Bye bye. He pulled the trigger and he saw the blood from his target's head splatter against the wall behind him, he quickly aimed at the next mercenary and shot seeing the mist hit the wall again.
Ty went back in cover and waited for some of the fire to cease that surrounded him. Shepard and Jack started shooting at the three mercenaries, killing two of them as the other went into cover. The purple eyed warrior got out of cover again and tried getting a shot on the mercenary but his target was apparently smart enough to hide his whole body from him. "Damn, I can't get a shot. Can you two?" He asked.
"Let me fix that." Jack said. The woman stood up and her arm became surrounded by a blue glow. So she's a biotic that's interesting. "I'LL THROW YOU LIKE A TOY!" Jack yelled as she tossed a pull field at the man which hit him and suspended him in air.
With the guy popped up Ty decided it was a good time to take him out but as he got out of cover to shoot him, Shepard pulled out her shotgun and zoomed forward in a biotic charge, detonating the biotic field on impact and sending the mercenary flying. She finished him with a blast from her shotgun. "Biotic's are so cheating to us grunts without the ability to move shit with our minds."
There was more gunfire coming from around the next corner. "We'll talk about it later." Shepard stated.
"Good idea." Ty said as he and Jack ran to catch up with the N7.
After blowing through the next groups of Blue Suns they came across a Krogan fighting the mercenaries. "Is that Okeer?" Ty asked as he took cover.
"No but he seems to be helping us so don't kill him." Shepard said.
The former mercenary pulled his rifle out again and said, "Hey Jack or Shepard could one of you be so kind to use your pull on those assholes up there so I can get a clear shot."
"Watch the landing." Jack said as she launched another pull field and hit it on the four mercenaries. Ty got out of cover and held his breath as he saw the four targets, the first was upside down, the second was sideways and the other two were straight up, he got the first in his scope and took a breath. Here we go. He pulled the trigger and moved to the second target and shot again, as he got to the third and fourth their heads became lined up. He shot again and saw the blood splatter against the wall for his last kill.
The remaining Suns were killed by Shepard and Jack or the Krogan while he checked the wall for three splatter zones, with all three in sight he nodded to himself. Four kills in two seconds, maybe two and a half. Good kills. He put his rifle away as they walked up to the Krogan who began speaking to the Commander. "I guess you can shoot a gun well." Jack said sarcastically.
"And it looks like you can use your biotic's well enough." Ty responded with a smirk.
Ty sat back and listened to the conversation going on in front of him, learning that he was full grown but only weeks out of the tank which the warrior thought was incredible yet also told him that Jedore was getting her way by the sound of it. She'll get hers soon enough.
"Is it even possible for him to be full grown?" Shepard asked looking back at Ty and Jack.
"How the fuck should I know?" The tattooed biotic responded.
"Well hypothetically it is. Think about it, he's a tank-bred, not born through mating and if Jedore has this Okeer guy working for her she could use his knowledge of being a Krogan to do it. Jedore likes to think that she gets what she wants no matter what so she's pretty fucked in the head."
"I don't know anything about that, all I know was I wasn't good enough and I must stay here and fight." The Krogan said.
The purple eyed man shook his head. Whether it was Okeer or Jedore implanting that into the Krogan's head he wasn't sure, but either way it irked him. Patience, don't lose your cool just yet. I will kill her there is no doubt about it, just stay focused until then. "What's up with you?" Jack asked noticing his sudden change of attitude.
"I was loyal to the Blue Suns for two almost three full years. I started when I was thirteen and when I was a part of them Jedore and me never saw eye to eye because she always thought she was better than the rest. She ended up ratting me and my guys out to Tarak and blowing up my ship with eight of my friends on it when we decided not to take part in giving innocent women and children to a bunch of slavers…I can't wait to kill her."
"That's rough."
"I'm going to make her pay, make no mistake about that."
Jack nodded and the Krogan moved a giant piece of metal out of the way for them. "What I'd do to have Krogan strength in this agile body."
His comment earned him a chuckle out of the two women as the Krogan told Shepard he was going to stay and fight. The squad continued their hunt through the facility with the N7 scanning some tech along the way. They soon began running into Krogan's who weren't so friendly and more Blue Suns. Ty ended up taking a walkway through the center of the room they were in by himself while Shepard and Jack took longer way around but as he reached the center of the bridge he was met by one of the tank-bred Krogan's charging right at him with a shotgun in hand. "Seriously?!" He asked to no one in particular at his luck as he rolled out of the way of the Krogan.
He shot his pistols at the Krogan's back, punching through his armor trying to kill him without instigating a blood rage. Before he could punch through the remainder of his opponent's armor, the Krogan charged him yet again but this time his head landed square against Ty's sending him flying backwards to the ground. "One day! One day is all I ask to not have to get charged or head-butted by a Krogan." He grumbled as he got himself back onto his feet. The warrior put his pistols away and pulled out his tomahawks. "Is that too much to ask?" He asked to the Krogan.
The Krogan's response was less than spectacular with him letting out a roar and charging the purple eyed man once again but this time Ty let out a roar of his own as he charged the Krogan. As they reached each other Ty dodged to the side of the head-butt and shoulder charge and implanted his tomahawks into the side of the Krogan's neck. As his enemy tried to move away from the strike the hooded man let go of his tomahawks, leaving them in his neck and then pulled out his rifle.
The Krogan reached for his neck to get the tomahawks out of his throat but Ty's rifle unfolded and the barrel reached the Krogan's mask. His enemy looked at him as the man shrugged. "Sorry." He fired off the shot which killed the Krogan. As he looked up he saw Jack and Shepard being pinned down by gun fire from two Blue Suns. Ty aimed down his sights as he yelled, "Hey assholes!" The Blue Suns looked over as he fired off three rounds into their shields, taking them down with the first rounds and then penetrated their skulls with two rounds each.
Ty put his sniper back and pulled his tomahawks out of the dead Krogan. "You know, I really hate fighting Krogan's."
"Don't puss out on us now; we still got a long way to go." Jack jested.
"Oh don't you worry about me, I'll be just fine. I'm more worried about you two girls overexerting yourselves."
"How'd I get dragged into that?" Shepard asked.
"Because you're our leader which gives me all the authority to give you shit or drag you into me giving someone else shit. That's the rules my guys came up with at least."
"That doesn't seem fair but I can't say I disagree or haven't been subjected to it. Come on, let's get going."
Shepard led them through the rest of the room and they continued to run into more Suns along the way with Ty getting to use his rifle again when they were across a gap on a balcony. They were shooting rocket launchers at them that followed the heat signatures of the trio and that was not exactly a fun time. The warrior killed the few that he could before having to dive down onto the ground from his kneeling position as missiles impacted against the cover he had been behind.
Jack and Shepard made quick work of the ones he had missed all the while they had to listen to Jedore still yelling commands over intercom. She was not happy at all with what her Blue Suns getting taken out so easily by three people but Ty also didn't care how she felt because he was going to shove that microphone down her throat so the whole planet could hear her suffocate.
After getting through the group of Suns on the balcony they moved further into the facility until they were nearly a door away to reach the Warlord. He knew that Jedore would have something big planned for them that she had planned as a backup in case something like this happened and whatever it was the former mercenary planned on mowing through it to get to her.
As the group neared the last set of doors Ty found himself fighting hand to hand with a Turian Blue Suns member while Shepard and Jack fought off the others. The Turian was definitely trained well in since he was giving the human fighter some trouble with finishing him off. The Turian blocked Ty's punch and followed it up with a head-butt making his head jerk back. His opponent grabbed his hand so he didn't go stumbling back but the hooded warrior decided to return the favor by head-butting the Turian. Ty's head cracked the face mask a little and made himself a little dazed. The plan had officially backfired since the Turian wasn't extremely fazed by it and landed a hard kick to his gut.
The former mercenary lost his footing and landed on his butt all the while trying to regain his bearings after his idiotic plan. When he got on his knees he saw that the Turian was right in front of him with the butt of his gun facing him. He put his right arm up and blocked each hit feeling only the slightest pain from the strikes until the Turian looked at the gun like there was something wrong with it. "Is that all you got?" Ty asked.
His opponent went to strike him again but this time the former mercenary punched the Turian in the stomach with his right hand forcing him to stumble back. The hit didn't dent the armor but it had sent enough force to knock him back a few steps. Ty got to his feet and blocked a right hook from the Turian countering with an uppercut and then pushing the momentum of a left hook that his enemy threw to the side leaving him open for a knee to the gut and then a punch to the face, or rather the helmet he was wearing.
The Turian had given him a rather good show in fighting but it was time for him to be put down like the rest of the Suns that were getting gunned down behind him. Ty straight punched the Turian in the face with his left hand and then followed it with a hard right haymaker. His opponent tried to throw another punch only for the hooded warrior to easily block it and punch him straight in the glass of his mask. Ty's right hand went through the face mask allowing him to feel the Turian's blood dripping onto his hand as the body began to fall limp. He pulled his hand out and the Turian's body collapsed. Not wishing to leave things to chance, the warrior pulled out his pistol and shot him in the head twice to be sure he was indeed dead.
"And that's why you shouldn't wear those masks; you never know who can knock them into your head." He commented.
