Thrax had just disembarked his ship after arriving on Omega. He left the docking area and went to Afterlife to catch up on his drinking and to find out about this new "Queen of Omega" rumor has it she managed to beat the old defacto leader of Omega and set herself up as queen. Thrax wasn't sure if he was impressed, or just very turned on.

He saw the usual long line in front of afterlife, skipping ahead and saying his greeting to the bouncer "hey Jek"

"Thrax how's it going?"

"Same shit different client you know. Can I go in?"

"Huh? Oh yeah sure go on in."

They fist bumped and Thrax went in much to the displeasure of the other beings in line. Walking in he heard the familiar music. Walking in he saw the same neon lights, the same beautiful naked asari dancers, and even the same people most of whom shouted "Thrax" when he entered because he lived here in between jobs he got to know a lot of people. Heading over to the bar he saw Cary was working tonight. Walking over when she noticed him and gave him her adorable smile he loved "hey beautiful how's life?"

"Better now that your here babe. What are you having the usual?"

Thrax pretended to be thinking "tell me my dear are you on the menu?"

"Keep up the sweet talk and maybe you'll get your wish. Maybe in about six hundred years." She said playfully.

Thrax put his hand over one of his hearts and said "ah you've broken one of my hearts."

"Good thing you got two eh?"

"So what can you tell me about this so-called "Queen of Omega" Thrax said with air quotes.

"Not much she came here about a hundred years ago and started as a dancer but within half a century she was Krags second in command. In another fifty years she kicked his ass."

"What do you know about here before she came here?" Thrax asked while eating a roast varen.

"Not a thing no one knows anything about Aria."

"Oh well enough about her let's talk about you and me and my bed shall we?"

"I already said in six hundred years if your still alive we can talk."

Thrax wasn't one to give up easy " I'll wear you down eventually."

"What makes you say that."

"My smoldering good looks."

Thrax was to busy flirting to notice the turian and krogan coming up behind him until he felt a hand on his arm.

"You Thrax?"

Thrax didn't answer instead he grabbed the arm of the krogan grabbing him and slammed his face on the table and said "lesson one whelp, NEVER touch me."

Cary looking impressed said "well Thrax after that your six hundred year wait just dropped to four hundred."

"Will it drop to three hundred if I kill the turian?" Thrax asked.

"No because turian blood is hard to clean up"

Thrax chuckled and turned to the turian who was helping his krogan friend off the ground and said "Aria has a job for you go up to the balcony and do not keep her waiting"

"I'll see her when I feel like it now get out of my face and take the whelp with you."

Thrax turned back to Cary and said "well unfortunately my dear I have I guess I'll have to go see her. The sooner I get paid the sooner I can get back and spend money here and try to get you in bed."

Cary giggled and said "take care Thrax I don't want to lose my favorite customer."

Thrax left the bar and headed over to the stairs that lead up to the balcony. Heading up Thrax saw a few batarian guards and three figures on a couch a turian and two asari. Thrax went up and asked "which one of you is Aria?"

The asari who was standing turned and said "Gatlok Talz I presume?"

Thrax glowed blue as his biotics flared in anger the three guards behind him raised there weapons, but Thrax spun around and waved his hand, slamming all three of them into a wall. He turned back to the asari and growled "you never call me that asari!"

Aria to his surprise didn't flinch or divert her gaze. She just said "are you as good as they say?"

"Better so let's cut to the chase. What's the job and how much?.

"Since I've acquired control of Omega, I've taken care of most of the mere groups on Omega either they report to me or I obliterate them all. Most of them have taken the smart route but their's one that I'm having an issue with. What I need you to do is head into blood pack territory and thin there numbers. Do this I'll give you fifty thousand."

"Give me a hundred thousand, I'll run them right off of Omega."

"Tempting but they may prove useful to me in the future. For now just go to these locations and wipe out every vorcha and krogan you see. Can you do it?"

"Done give me three days"

Thrax turned and left waved to Cary before leaving afterlife and hailed a cab to take him to the Quark district. After a fifteen minute flight he disembarked and headed toward the first location. Thrax saw that the place was a single floor building and at the front door was three vorcha. Thrax walked up and didn't give them a chance to even speak before he grabbed one and squished his head in his hand. Dropping the now headless vorcha he turned and backhanded another vorcha snapping its neck Thrax saw a third vorcha scrambling for its pistol but Thrax threw him into a jutting piece of metal impaling him through the head. Moving on and grabbing his shotgun Thrax opened the door moving to cover, not hearing any gun fire he peered out and saw one krogan with his back turned working on a wall terminal. Thrax charged him, knocking him to the floor and stabbed him through the head with bayonet of his claymore. Suddenly Thrax was tackled to the floor grabbing the head of the varren now on top of him to stop it from tearing his throat out. Thrax managed to hold back the varren with his left hand while reaching for the knife strapped to his right leg. Thrax grabbed it and stabbed it in the stomach. Throwing the body to the side Thrax got up and grabbed his shotgun spotting a dozen vorcha coming into the room Thrax charged right into the middle of the squad firing twice with his shotgun he killed two vorcha,then Thrax quickly turned and punched the ground and killed two more vorcha with a powerful shockwave. Thrax punched the last remaining vorcha knocking it to the ground and slammed his foot down on its head. Moving through the door the vorcha entered from Thrax saw a krogan who also saw him. Thrax didn't waste any time and quickly threw a warp at him. The krogan surprised Thrax by glowing blue and throwing his own warp causing a small explosion when they collided.

"A krogan battlemaster?!" Thrax thought very surprised. Since the rebellion ended this krogan was the first one Thrax ran into. Thrax charged at the krogan and gave two quick jabs at his face both of which hit stumbling back Thrax pressed the attack throwing another punch followed with an upper cut then kicked him in the gut. Pulling his knife from his leg he stabbed it right under the plate on his head and ripped it off causing the krogan to scream at the top of his lungs before Thrax plunged his knife right into the un armored skull right into the brain killing him.

"One down one to go."

Taking one of the speeders from the base Thrax found out that his second target was several building, landing and deciding that a smart approach would be a better idea. Thrax approached unarmed and the krogan guard spoke "what business do you have here?"

"I wish to join the blood pack you can either let me speak with the leader or I can kill you and fight my way through to him your choice whelp."

"Heh you got a quad I'll take you to the boss but be warned the boss is very unpredictable."

"Noted"

Thrax followed the krogan past several vorcha and varren as they made their way to the back Thrax entered and came face to face with an old friend.

"Grav?"

"Yeah who wants to to Talz, Gatlok Talz?"

"GRAV!" Thrax charged him and pinned him to the wall.

"Well well, I though I'd never get the joy of killing you Grav."

"Why are you angry? What did I ever do to you"

"You launched a coup against me. You had me exiled, you turned the entire clan against me."

"You abandoned the cause. You forgot why we you were fighting. Clan Gatlok needed a strong leader and that wasn't you."

"I can't believe how much I'm going to enjoy killing you!"

Grav broke free of Thrax's hold and punched him in the face, which Thrax blocked by grabbing his arm and throwing him into his desk breaking it. Grav got up and roared before charging and grappling Thrax before and throwing him through the door into the main area ignoring all the vorcha and krogan around him, Thrax charged Grav again hitting him twice with two quick, but strong, jabs to the face followed by jumping and punching Grav in the face throwing him back. Grav leapt up and crouched into a fighting stance preparing for a second attack.

"You wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for me! How many times did I save your ass?! You remember Yaga minor how many turians did I hold off to give you time to regenerate?! Any other krogan would have deemed you weak and just left you behind?!" Thrax roared at Grav.

"You abandoned us. You wanted to stop the fighting. After the turians dropped the genophage you were the one who gave the order to cease-fire. You were the one who wanted us to rebuild instead of focus on revenge. Clan Gatlok needed someone with strength to lead them and you weren't it."

Thrax was so angry that he started seeing red but still managed to ask one question "does Clan Gatlok still exist?"

For the first time Grav looked ashamed and said "No after you left there were some who didn't accept my rule. It was civil war by the time it ended there weren't enough solders to defend the clan. We were wiped out by clan Gatatog."

"That was your fault Grav those deaths are on your head!" Thrax roared causing all the vorcha and even some of the other krogan to step back. Thrax charged and grabbed him around the waist and threw him clear across the room right into three vorcha. Thrax started moving over to Grav a vorcha tried to stop him but Thrax punched the vorcha right THROUGH the head. Another vorcha tried to stop him but Thrax just grabbed the top of its head and twisted all the way around and turned and lifted a krogan with his biotics and slammed him into a wall three times then slammed him onto the floor where he lay motionless. Reaching Grav, Thrax got on top of him and punched his face over and over.

"This is your fault" WHAM!

"If it wasn't for your hunger for power Clan Gatlok would still exist!" WHAM!

Thrax punched again and again, not stopping until Grav's face was unrecognizable.

Thrax got up panting and saw that the remaining vorcha and krogan had cleared out. Thrax didn't look like it but he was shaken inside. His clan destroyed, his clan brother, his betrayer finally dead, Thrax was finally alone, but he didn't want to be.

Grabbing the speeder he stole from the first blood pack base he made his way back to afterlife. Nodding to Jek he made his way inside and went up to Aria. "Its done."

"Well it seems your just as good as I've heard. Harek get the credits." She said to one of the batarien guards Thrax slammed to the ground before.

Returning a few minutes later with a case he opened the case and saw fifty thousand credits so he took it and said "pleasure doing business with you Aria"

Thrax left the balcony and headed out the back way, deciding he needed to think but heard a scream. He bolted towards it and found two batarien thugs closing in on an asari. Thrax looked closer and realized it was Cary putting two and two together Thrax spoke "HEY! Get away from her!"

They turned around "butt out krogan if you want some of her you can wait until were done."

Thrax ran up them grabbed them by the back of their shirts and said "I don't think you heard me batarien. I said BACK OFF!" Thrax roared as he threw them into a wall.

Scrambling back up they Thrax growled and they scampered off. Thrax turned and saw that Cary was shaking with fear so Thrax said in a voice he reserved only for people who were special to him "Cary are you ok?" Thrax asked he helped her up. Next thing he knew she was hugging him tight and he realized she was crying.

"Hey, hey its ok."

"I was so scarred" she sobbed into his chest.

"What were you thinking trying to walk home on Omega?"

Still shaking Cary didn't answer but just sobbed into Thrax's armor. Thrax not use to having to comfort someone just patted her back gently.

"Thrax could you walk me home?"

Thrax tried to get her to laugh by saying "inviting me to your home? We haven't even gone on a date yet."

Cary gave a small laugh then got serious "Thrax please?"

"Ok I'll stick around Omega for a few weeks until you feel better. But were getting you a good biotic amp and I'll teach you how to use your biotics. You're an asari, you shouldn't need a big strong attractive krogan to save you.

She laughed at that ands said "ok and by the way your three hundred year wait, dropped to two years."

Thrax just laughed grabbed her hand and said "let's go."

Well this chapter told you about Thrax's past and give Thrax a love interest but she's gonna meet a sad ending. You are gonna love Thrax's reaction. Anyway read and review.
