Chapter 10

Anew Ally

The shuttle landed back into the docks of the "Federation". Kyra walked out first beside the N7 fury as she said her goodbye. Raidenka and Dominic walked side by side. Raidenka looked at Dominic as both were talking about the fight earlier back on Condor.

"Like I said I was there before you, Raidenka so in that fact you stole all of my kills" said Dominic

"Your kills?! HAHA listen Kid, the moment I arrived they were all mine" he said

"Kid? HA so you think you bad don't cha" said Dominic

The 3 entered the elevator and headed towards the war room to get their next assignment. As the 2 behind Kyra bickered away she thought of them as

children. Doors slid open as the 3 moved on into the War room. Looking at the maps and graphed out areas on the list Kyra noticed something else different

about this. Admiral Hackett walked beside her after talking to one of his operatives. Standing beside her he noticed the weapon named "The Crucible".

"What is that?" she asked

"Our last and final defense against the reapers, it's called "The crucible" "he said

"What kind of weapon Admiral?" she continued

"We don't know but Commander Shepard and Liara Ta'Soni believe it to be our last chance" he said

"Your next assignment is something more personal that we must attain" he said

"What is it sir" she asked looking downward

"We discovered a Cerberus base within the Artemis Tau cluster within the Sparta nebula and need you to infiltrate the base and recover a reaper artifact" he said

"Sir what about the prisoner, isn't he of any help to us?" she asked

"He isn't talking openly to anyone right now, his name is Dakar an assassin escaped from the Asari" said Admiral Hackett

"I'll have talk with him, he might have some Intel on the where abouts of the Cerberus base" she said

Admiral Hackett nodded and allowed Kyra to go and see what she could get out of Dakar.

As the 3 walked through the hallway towards the end. They reached the massive cell. Massive see through glass was the blockage of freedom and prison.

Dakar sat in the center of the room. His legs crossed his head downward. His mind at ease, as they noticed him meditating. His cell was bright with white lights

shining inside. Kyra stopped facing the glass as Raidenka and Dominic stood behind her noticing this assassin. His body was still in his collector armor as

Dominic found it strange and cool at the same time.

"Dakar, I'm Lieutenant Kyra Haledon, I have a proposition for you" she said

Dakar didn't look up as he stopped and listened to her tone of voice. His mind stopped wondering began to concentrate hard towards that tone. Once he did

he gained an image of her.

"If you help me, you can have your freedom back" she continued

"Getting the help from an assassin? I'm not so sure of this" said Dominic

Kyra noticed Dakar sitting still. She thought of what he might do or say, remembering that this wasn't a normal assassin. He was a Cerberus one.

"Do we have an agreement?" she continued

"Is that what they told you? My freedom...or is that what you will give me" he asked

Kyra looked at him as he slowly looked up towards her and stayed sitting calmly in position of meditation.

"I'll make sure they give you that for your service, Dakar" she said

"….Freedom….a dream that continues in mind…" he said

Kyra stared at his glowing white collector eyes. His silence became known to them. She took in a deep breath and thought about what to say.

"Let me ask you Lieutenant Kyra, how can you trust me when knowing of what I am and where I came from" he asked

"I don't, I just believe you'll respect our agreement even for a Ex-Cerberus Assassin and decide to help fight the reapers instead of dying like this "she said

Dakar stood up tall yet thin his body was. Dakar slowly walked to his left looking towards the thoughts rapidly examined them, examined each one. Noticing a

sense of presence within heartbeats became visible to him. His eyes closed he sensed their flow of blood.

"….What do you hope to accomplish by doing this Lieutenant?" he asked

"Peace, survival, life" she said

"…..Is that what you want Lieutenant? Out of all that has gone through your life….even after the loss of your family?" he asked

Kyra's eyes went wide staring towards him. Dominic looked at her noticing the sight of shocked. Raidenka said nothing as he thought why act at all. Then it hit

him as he thought about this, she helped out.

"Alright I think that's enough, Dakar" said Dominic

Dakar looked at her as he tilted his head to the right and stood staring at her still. She stared back and looked away with her eyes closed.

"…..I don't expect an answer now Lieutenant, every being in this life has a point…a point that signifies why they are here….a code…." Said Dakar

"Either you coming with us or not Dipshit"said Raidenka as he walked and stood on Kyra's right side

Dominic did the same as he tapped Kyra's left shoulder and stood by her left side. Kyra opened her eyes looking up towards Dakar. The security glass door

opened Dakar only stared then walked towards them. His silence was noted as Kyra looked up to him face to face they were. Kyra walked away from him as

she said aloud.

"Grab your gear Dakar, were leaving"

Dakar looked at Dominic as he stood beside him. Holding his Phaeston rifle beside him, he stared at Dakar.

"How did you know that? Why even ask her?" he asked

Dakar didn't even look at him. He stared forward, his silence continued.

"…..To know who Kyra Haledon is…."he said walking away from Dominic

"You could have asked her nicely…"said Dominic walking behind him

Raidenka stood beside Kyra as they walked down the hall.

"You okay?" he asked

"Yeah…I'm fine" she said

"Good, cause your no use to me confused" said Raidenka

"Is that..?Concern coming from a badass Krogan Pirate?" she asked with sarcasm

"HAHAHAHA you wish,woman"he said
