Cyrus Tabris and Byron

It had been a week since the death of Skara and Thrax was getting impatient. There was nothing to do but think and when Thrax thought his mind went back to Omega. Back to Cary. Thrax had never felt this empty even when his clan exiled him he only had one goal in mind revenge. Thankfully he was shaken from his thoughts by an beeping indicating a message, telling him to meet at the Cromax again.

Thrax was making his way to the elevator when three turian C-SEC goons showed up.

"Hold it are you the bounty hunter Thrax?" One of the turians asked.

"You just missed him I heard he was heading to the presidem." Thrax said with an emotionless voice.

"Tabris, scan him."

That got Thrax's attention "Tabris?"

"Yeah why I know you?"

Thrax ignored the question and said "Cyrus Tabris?"

"Yeah why?"

"Recently paid a visit to Omega?"

To someone unskilled at reading body language, they wouldn't have noticed a few things. First Tabris's eyes widened and couldn't make eye contact. Second he started to shift nervously. This was different from fear. This was worry.

"Nope. Don't even know where it is."

"So you didn't pay a visit with three batariens, so you didn't rape and kill an asari who was seven months pregnant?!" Thrax roared, causing the turians to draw their weapons.

"What are you talking about?" He shuddered.

"You know full well what I'm talking about. You are a dead turian."

"Threatening an officer of Citadel Security is a felony. Do you want us to arrest you."

"I want you to try!" Thrax yelled biotics flaring.

"Enough!" The third turian who had remained silent until now yelled.

"This fighting will get us nothing except more death. We are here just to ask you some questions. Ok?

Thrax's biotics died down and said "then ask or get out of my way."

"As you might know there was a bloody massacre of one of the local mercenary group Red Son in there own private hanger. We have witnesses that can place you near the elevator to the hanger close to when the massacre took place."

Thrax was silent for a moment, his face. giving away no emotion. He then spoke "and your first instinct is to blame the krogan?"

"There were torn out mandables at the scene which suggests that whoever attacked the hanger was incredibly strong and had a reason to hate the turians as well as batarians."

"And the fact that I'm a krogan has nothing to do with it? Let me save you the trouble. I was near the elevator waiting for a friend. When he didn't show at the right time I got angry and left." Thrax explained lying through his teeth.

"Now if that's all I have better things to do than talk to Citadel's finest." Thrax said sarcastically.

Before he pushed through then he turned to Cyrus and said "warn your friends tell them you made the biggest mistake of your lives you made a krogan battlemaster angry. I know you were there and I know what you did. I will not rest until you and the the other two batarians are dead."

Thrax left the three turians and made his way to the elevator.

Arriving at Cromax Thrax was waved over this time by a krogan. Walking over the krogan spoke "the turian your looking for is-"

"He's a member of C-SEC here on the citadel. I know." Thrax said cutting him off.

"I need his address." Thrax said eager for a chance to rip out some more mandibles.

"My employer already thought of that and has already uploaded them to your Omni-tool."

Thrax pulled up his Omni-tool and saw the location. Close to the prescidem. Thrax is gonna have to be quiet this time."

"For five thousand extra I have been instructed to supply the codes to his front door."

Thrax made the payment and when he received the codes and got up and said "start looking for the batarians" Before he turned and left.

Cyrus's home

To say that Cyrus was scared would be an understatement. Cyrus, Harek, and Kreet all grew up together in the lower levels of the citadel. So when Harek told him that a krogan murdered his brother and he wanted revenge. Cyrus was to happy to help. But instead of going after the krogan they went after his bondmate. They spent hours raping her, doing things that caused Cyrus to wake up screaming in the middle of the night. Cyrus never thought anything could be traced back to him. It was Omega where the only rule is "don't fuck with Aria" how a krogan of all people could trace any of the down surprised Cyrus. Walking up to his room to get his off-duty pistol. Going in the room he went and got his pistol turned and saw a giant krogan sitting on a chair. Moving on instinct he raised his gun and fired.

Unfortunately nothing happened. The krogan lifted his hand and in it was the power pack. Before he could do anything else, Cyrus felt himself being lifted and him back slammed into the celling before he was slammed down on his face. Cyrus Tabris, Lieutenant in Citadel Security, widower, no children, numerous investigations for charges of taking bribes, roughing up suspects or straight out killing them, and the rape of multiple females of various species. The most being asari." The krogan said an a monotone voice.

"Who are you?!"

"Who am I? I'm the one who's girlfriend you and your friends raped and killed."

Getting up and feeling that one of his ribs were broken, he said "I don't know what your talking about but-"

He was cut off as he was thrown to his against a wall again and felt his arm break.

"Every time you lie to me I break another bone. Now what are the names of the batarians?"

"Vikus and Marrow."

He felt himself being lifted but this time was suspended until the krogan got up and made a pulling motion with his arm that caused Cyrus to go flying towards him. But right before he hit, the krogan delivered a brutal punch to the face. Spitting out blood and groaning from the constant pain he yelled "I told you there names!"

"No you didn't I already know what there names are but now you know the consequence for lying. Now where can I find them?"

"I don't know!"

The krogan just shrugged and grabbed Cyrus's arm and bent it to a ninty degree angle.

The wrong way.

After five minutes of painful screaming, sobbing and whimpering, the krogan asked again "where can I find them?"

"I don't know!"

Shrugging again the krogan planted one hand on Cyrus's mandable which caused his eyes to widen in fear.

"I ask again where are they?"

"Ok, ok I'll tell you just don't rip my mandables!"

"Talk now."

"I can't tell you where Harek is but I do know where Byron is. Some hole out in the the Turtig nebula. Atheata I don't know where exactly. That's all I know I swear."

The krogan looked at him and said "I believe you. I believe you" then he grabbed the mandable and pulled.

The scream he got from the Tabris would have made any other krogan wince. Any krogan except Thrax. Throwing the mandible down he lifted up Cyrus and threw him THROUGH the wall. Walking over he stomped on his legs breaking them and then he grabbed his knife and stuck it through where the mandible should be, and pushed it up all the way into the brain.

Pulling his knife out and putting back in the sheath on his leg. Thrax took one look at Cyrus, a look full of hatred before he turned and left.

Atheata

Thrax had spent two hours scanning the planet. It was a classic garden world. The asari were in the process of establishing a colony. Fortunately the compound was on the opposite side of the planet. Landing his ship in the space port. He received more than a few side glances from the many asari on in the port. Renting a speeder he sped off toward his third target.

Stopping a few miles from the compound. He got off the speeder and went the rest of the way on foot. Once he had eye sight of the compound his hand went to his back and pulled out a sniper rifle.

During the two years he was on Omega with Cary he met a turian. Former sniper in the turian military and with
C-SEC. Thrax hadn't decided to give up bounty hunting yet, Thrax decided to learn how to snipe. Despite being a quick learner this still took him a year to perfect. Taking it out he Thrax aimed how the scope and identified the hostiles. He saw five in front of the compound. All different species. Thrax scanned the rest of the area and not finding any fired five quick shots hitting them all in the head. Discarding his sniper rifle, he walked over glancing at the bodies with a cool detachment. Forcing the door open he was surprised to see that he didn't have weapons pointed at him. Opening the other door in the room he didn't see any beings. Securing the large atrium-like area first before he went to check room to room.

Entering what might have been a main office, he saw his target. Along with an asari. Judging from her armor she must of been a part of that all asari merc group.

"Mr. Thrax I presume."

"If you know who I am then you know your time is just about up!" Thrax said with a growl.

"Now,now let's not be hasty. This lovely specimen here is Viola, a former asari commando, and I would hate to lose either of you."

"You could have a rachni queen beside you and I wouldn't care. I'm here for your head and I'm going to take it."

"Please, I'm sure we can be civil about this. I'm sure we can find a peaceful solution."

"Funny I didn't think you batarian animals knew the meaning of the word peace. Now I am going to get the information I want and you are going to die. The only choice you need to make is whether your deaths going to be painful or quick."

"I will tell you what you need but I fully expect to leave here alive. I've kidnapped several civilians from the nearby colony. You let me go and I'll let them go."

For the first time sine Cary died, Thrax laughed. "The funny thing is, if this was just another job I would have taken your offer in an instant."

"I knew we could reach a-" Byron started to say before Thrax cut him off.

"But this isn't another job now is it?"

"Harek is on some moon Endor. There's a batarian colony there. All you need to do is ask and you'll find him."

"I believe you" Thrax said before he threw a warp field at Byron. The asari threw a biotic shield which absorbed the warp. The asari then used her own biotics to throw him through the wall and rolled on his side until he came to a stop in the middle of the atrium. Getting up he saw her walk towards him glowing with biotics. Thrax flared his biotics and threw a large crate at her which she dodged gracefully and without effort. She then ran up to him and punched him in the face with her fists glowing with biotics.

She was a perfect combination of speed, presicion, and power. After the punch to the face she threw another punch. Followed by spinning on one foot and kicking Thrax in the chest causing him to double over in pain the asari then kicked him in the face by back flipping which caused Thrax to fall on his ass. But Thrax was far from done. Jumping up he tossed two warps at her before charging. She deflected the warps, but was caught off-guard by the charge. With Thrax up close, he threw a punch which she dodged before throwing an incredibly powerful uppercut. Recovering from the powerful hit Thrax spat out a wad of blood and threw a warp as powerful as he he could manage at the same time she did causing an enormous explosion which would have knocked them both out if they didn't bring up a biotic shield at the same time.

Thrax was panting he's only had to push his biotics like this once before and he wasn't doing much better this time.

"Enough Viola!" Byron shouted.

Thrax turned and looked at Byron hate still in his eyes.
"I have give you the information. Now I'll give you something extra. Your asari was killed because of you." Byron said not to be cruel but simply stating a fact.

"WHAT!?" Thrax roared.

"Two years before her death. You took a job to destroy a small class slave ring. You went into the back room and saw a batarian fucking a young asari. You beat then killed him. Did you not?"

"So?"

"The batarian you killed was Harek's brother. So Harek decided that for the life of someone he love, he will take the life of someone you loved."

Thrax had never been this angry before only this time the anger was at himself. That job had been a charity case, for little money. Cary was dead because of him. His unborn daughter was dead because of him. Thrax charged at Byron fists glowing with biotics but he was intercepted and hit with a powerful biotic kick from the asari which caused Thrax to black out.
