I activated Silence and stepped out of the way, reached out a hand and grabbed the Turian's gun. Both the Turian and the Krogan were startled when confronted with their sudden loss of smell, hearing, sight, and touch, or otherwise true Silence and failed to react to anything. I sent a small jolt of electricity up the Turians arm and disarmed him then teleported four blocks away or one block from my objective.

(Perfectly done. It was so fast I bet no one understood what I did.) I thought. I tossed the gun from the Turian into a dumpster.

~Not bad~ Krika told me, ~I would have killed them~

Just then I thought, (Why did I get rid of the gun I could sell or use it?) Needless to say I walked over to the dumpster and retrieved the gun.

Then I entered the apartment's lobby and noticed an Asari sitting behind a desk, "Um excuse me, and do you where I should go too get a room here?"

The Asari looked at me, "Yeah, me," she said.

(Oh) "Well I would want the largest one you have."

"That would be room #516 on the seventh floor," the Asari told me, "One month will be 15000 credits."

"All right here you go," I said transferring the money over for two months. She looked at the amount and my ID, and she smiled as she produced a key.

"Have a nice stay Mr. Pridak," she said as she handed me my room key.

I glanced at an extranet terminal on the wall as I made my way to the elevator. The terminal lit up with a 'Breaking News' report.

"Just today the bounty was fulfilled on the notorious crime lord Tarkol." A human news reporter said as a picture of the Batarian I killed when I first got to the Citadel showed, "The bounty money was given to a new-comer to the Citadel."

(Great. Now they are going to show my face.) I thought a little fearfully.

Needless to say they did show my face, "Someone that called himself "Makuta" collected the bounty money," the news reporter said doing finger quotes while saying my name.

~Now you have your reputation…~ Krika said into my head.

(….)

"Now back to other news," the News Reporter said and I turned to leave, "A Krogan named )insert generic Krogan name( and a Turian )insert generic Turian name( were just found wandering around the Citadel aimlessly, they appear to have lost their sense of sight, smell, touch, and hearing. We are still in the dark on what happened to them."

I inwardly let out an insane laugh, pretty sure that Krika could hear.

~They found those idiots rather fast~ Krika said confirming my suspicions.

(Deactivate Silence) I thought with an insane smile.

I noticed that the Asari landlady just looked at me rather curiously after the report showed my picture and I made a beeline for the elevator. Once inside I pushed the button for…

(Um Krika did you by any chance catch the floor my room is on?)

~Yes, seventh floor. ~ Was Krika's quick reply.

(Whew I thought I would have to go back down there.)

~It isn't that bad down there. ~

(Let's see seventh floor here we go, anyways people are going to wonder what I am doing with a huge urn on my back)

~Of course… By Karzahni these elevators are slow~ Was Krika's reply. I immediately started laughing.

~What is so funny? ~

(Everyone thinks these elevators are slow.)

~And I agree, you better stop laughing insanely though~

I had stopped laughing by the time I got to the seventh floor. I realized I was quite tired. I asked Krika about it, (Um Krika?)

~Yes, all Makuta did sleep before they evolved. ~

(Does that mean I have to eat to? And you just read my mind again.)

~ get used to me reading your mind, you have no block, and I think Makuta feed of the light and shadow. ~

(Why? You think? Are you not sure?)

"Good-bye I will leave to explore this 'Citadel'," Krika said aloud instead of answering. The sudden noise of his voice caused me to jump.

(I have to learn to put up a mental block when I don't want him to read my mind.) I thought as I walked over to the door of my room. I looked at the door. (Hmm no scratch or gnaw marks, So far so good.)

~Why should there be? ~

(I thought you went exploring?)

~Yes I just finished exploring your room~

I put my room-key into the door and set it to open syncing it with my omni-tool as I did so. I stepped into the room.

It had a central room that contained a couch and a small table. The floor was tiles synthesized to look like stone. There was a small fridge for presumably storing drinks. There were four rooms that branched of from the central room I was currently in. I walked into the left most room which was a kitchen. I only briefly examined that room as I was pretty sure Makuta don't eat normal food.

I returned to the central room placing down the protodermis container as I did so. (I'll need this to make Rahkshi armor later.) I glanced down at it and thought some more, (Maybe I should make some Kraata now.)

I sat down on the couch not because I needed rest but to think, (So if I want a Rahkshi of Teleportation I would make a Kraata of Teleportation.) I looked down at my arm and started to focus on making a Kraata.

A Kraata is made by a Makuta taking some of their mass and turning it into these slug-snake creatures that can be given one of the 42 Makuta powers. They are blindly loyal to whatever Makuta made them. After careful consideration I narrowed my choices down to three, (Gravity, Teleportation, and Shape-shifting.)

(Teleportation is probably my prime choice, a Stage 6 Gravity Kraata could collapse the whole Citadel.)

I was just about to start when there was a knock on the door. (Who?)

I got up off the couch and walked over to the door. I stopped right in front of it using my telepathy to search who or what was outside.

(A…Asari…From downstairs.)

I opened the door and said, "Can I help you Miss..?"

The Asari shifted nervously, "I am here to give you a discount on your room for killing Tarkol."

"Oh, um Thank-you?"

"Here is the discount of 5000," she said then continued, "I am Lirie Y'loni."

"Thank you very much," I said relieved that she wasn't here to kill me. With that after receiving the discount I closed the door. Then I went back and sat on the couch.

(That was weird.)

I started to concentrate again and this time a Kraata started to form. I put up a sonic barrier around this room anticipating noise when the Kraata is done.

A second later I am proved right in the assumption to put up barrier for the second the Kraata takes shape it lets out an un-earthly screech as it mentally separates from my mind.

Though Kraata has to wait to be a Stage 2 before gaining true sentience as of know mine is acting purely on instinct. The Kraata being a teleportation variant is a bright red with a metallic lemon like head. It screams as it feels the light and I put a shroud of darkness over it.

(Great I forgot it has to be a Stage 4 before it can withstand direct light.)

I walk over to one of the bedrooms and deposit it under the bed. I mentally instruct it to stay there and be quiet. I then flop unto the bed and fell into a deep sleep the moment my head touched the pillow.

~Wake up~

I drifted into consciousness slowly. I also realized I had not dreamed at all.

"You finished exploring," I asked Krika groggily.

~Yes~

(Did you find anything?) I asked in my mind.

~Yes, I found the stuck up leaders of this place~

I sat up and realized that my body had reverted back to the original bio-mechanical form. The same form that walked out of the Makuta pool yesterday. Quickly I shape-shifted back to my 'human' form while thinking. (I will have to learn to keep my shape-shifting active while asleep or I run the risk of shape-shifting to my biomechanical being when I get on the Normandy) After this consideration I walked into the central room.

"I probably should find something more to gain a reputation," I said out loud to Krika who I knew was around.

Krika shimmered into existence facing me, "Nice Kraata," he said.

"I have protodermis so we can make Rahkshi," I replied almost happily.

"Ah Rahkshi, Makuta's sons," Krika said, "Or that was what the Matoran called them."

"Well, I should go and explore the Citadel," I told Krika.

I sat on the couch though and fiddled with my omni-tool. I briefly considered looking up Commander Shepard but decided to leave it a mystery. I found that Tarkol had a fourth of a million credits in his account which I transferred into my account.

Then I walked over to my door and stood in front of it.

(Density control) I thought meaning to check out this Rahkshi power. I decreased my density to nothing and stepped through the door into the hallway beyond. I returned my density to my original density.

I walked over to the elevator and keyed it for the ground floor.

(Now I need a good cover for when I use my powers) I thought knowing that I will have to use them at different intervals. I decided to find things I could explain away my powers as.

(All right, Chameleon can be explained as cloak, Lightning and Chain Lightning can probably be explained as the omni-tool's overload ability) I mused. (I will have to say it is modded into the armor and that is why my omni-tool doesn't light up.) I determined that the powers of Anger, Fear, Confusion, Hunger, Fire Resistance, Ice Resistance, Silence, Sleep, and Slowness will not have to be explained as they are not visible when used.

(Ok that is good, that I will not have to explain those ones, they will be difficult to… anyways without revealing I am now a different species.)

Accuracy can be explained as good marksmanship, albeit an uncanny knack for hitting things, Elasticity as long as the way I use it isn't to drastic can be explained as…really good flexibility. Dodge can be explained as simply dodging, though eventually if used to often anyone will guess that there is something more to me.

(Have to be careful with Dodge, quick note that down.) I instructed myself.

Stasis Field can be explained as biotics, Gravity and Magnetism I will have to be careful with using them just the same as Dodge. Then I came to another realization (Uh, Magnetism, Stasis Field and Gravity don't give off a biotic glow,) I wondered briefly whether I would have to do without them when I remembered, (Illusion! That is it! I could project an illusion to everyone's brain that sees me.)

(Just have to watch out for cameras.) I thought with a grin. By this time the elevator had reached the ground floor and I headed out. (Whew I need a way to memorize which ones I can use and which I can't.) After giving this issue some thought I turned my omni-tool on and started listing on it the powers I could use and the ones I could use if their was no witnesses.

(Weather Control can always equal coincidence. Adaptation cannot be used as that utilizes shape-shifting. Invulnerability I can use but will have to be cautious as I believe it is limited somehow.) I concluded with Invulnerability being the last power on my 'explainable' list.

As Cyclone, Darkness, Density Control, Disintegration, Heat Vision, Insect Control, Laser Vision, Molecular Disruption, Plant-life Control, Plasma Generation, Poison Generation, Power Scream, Quick Healing, Rahi or Animal Control, Shape-shifting, Sonics, Teleportation, Adaptation and Vacuum all went in 'really hard to explain.' (At least until I think up excuses for the remaining powers. Maybe teleportation can be explained as biotic charge? Though I have no idea how many know about that.)

I had been walking in the general direction of the Presidium or center area of the Citadel. I spotted an Arms shop and headed in that direction.

I entered into 'Jarel's Weaponry' and headed to section that appeared to be devoted to kinetic barriers. I looked around and spotted one that looked decent. After glancing at the price tag I whistled. (6500 credits? Well must be good) I thought.

I jotted down the serial number of the Kinetic Barrier and turned to walk to the cashier just as a voice sounded in my head.

~I have been researching biotics~

A little startled I replied out loud, "And?" A Turian and a human gave me odd looks. They probably thought I was talking to myself. Krika heard me though and answered.

~By absorbing this element zero you may be able to gain biotics~

(And where will I get eezo?) I mentally asked my companion.

~Ask the guy behind the table~ Krika replied.

I answered, "Actually hold off on that purchase, can I look at your guns?"

"Yeah right over there," the cashier said pointing to the back of the store.

I walked to the back of the store. I quickly noticed the word Jormangund on a sniper rifle and thought. (A rifle named after a mythical Norse sea serpent should be all right.) Scrutinizing the rifle closer I realized that Jormangund Technology had made the rifle which was actually a 'Helix' line of sniper rifle.

I jotted down the serial number for the level X version and turned to the assault rifles. There I just jotted down the serial number of the M-8 Avenger rifle. I likewise jotted down the number for a shotgun made by Jormangund Technology as well just because I liked the name, Jormangund Technology. Then predictably I grabbed a pistol of the same company. I took a pistol from the display stand instead of just the serial number. Having finished this I returned to the cashier where I had to wait in line behind a Turian buying a sniper rifle that was different then the one I was planning on getting.

I waited in line then showed the guy my list which he took and jotted down on his data-pad then turned to me, "Anything else I can help you with?"

I reluctantly asked, "Do you sell element zero here?"

He looked surprised but said, "No we don't carry it here."

"Know anybody that does?"

"Not to my knowledge."

"All right how much will this stuff cost me?" I asked the Cashier.

He looked down at his data-pad to check, "20311 credits."

If I had still possessed my human body my eyes would have bulged out of my head. Instead, after a millisecond of internal surprise I waved my omni-tool over the counter to pay him.

I set up with the cashier to deliver the majority of the items to my apartment. The minority of the items, Kinetic Barrier and pistol, I took and carried out of the store.

One outside I attempted to put my gun on my thigh. I didn't stay put until I activated my Magnetism power and stuck it there. I also quickly looked up Kinetic Barriers and figured out how to connect and turn it on. After doing this I continued on downward towards the Presidium.

Day Three:

Days before Eden Prime: 18

I awoke to the sound of something hissing. Even though I was a Makuta I still was afraid of the same things humans are and as a result my half awake mind thought, (Snake!)

I jumped out of bed and smashed straight into the wall near my bed. The whole room shook and probably the apartment as well. Groggily I looked at the huge mark in the wall as insulation gel leaked down on me.

Then I turned to the bed. There was a small little slug-leach-snake creature sitting on my bed. Not like a creature without legs can actually sit but more like laying there.

"Oh, hi Bob," I said naming the creature which after a few seconds of thought I had deduced to be my Kraata. It looked at me with small, beady, evil looking eyes and teleported under a chair that was in the corner of the room.

I scowled at the evil little thing and headed to the central room where the urn sat uncovered in the middle of the room. I magnetically summoned the lid and attached it to the top of the urn. I briefly considered hiding it but then decided not to.

Following this action I sat down on the couch and let my thoughts overwhelm me; I realized that all my family was gone.

As I thought more along this line I grew more and more frustrated until I walked to the door, opened it up, got in the elevator and descended to ground level determined to walk the feeling off.

I reached the apartments lobby and continued to the door. Pausing briefly I manufactured myself a helmet, something in between the Crysis Nano-suit helmet and Master Chief's MJLONIR helmet, except in blood red.

After this brief respite of rational thought, I continued walking rapidly noticing almost nothing consumed in my own grief.

Grievous indeed.

To save a life

I came to a stop in a section of the Citadel I had never seen before. Considering I had only seen one Ward in game and I had been here all of two days and a half I had no clue where I was. Thankfully I remembered my address, but no idea where it was.

(Krika?) I asked mentally. I got no answer. (Great must be to far away for me to send a message.)

My Makuta hearing picked up the sound of some one talking off to the side down an alley. Even though I could not pick up the words I recognized a threatening tone. Then I heard a frightened voice and I moved over in the direction of the alley the voices were coming from.

I moved closer, also forgetting to use any of my powers. Reaching the entrance to the alley way I made out voices.

The threatening one was an Asari, and the frightened one was a…Quarian probably female by the voice. (Hmm that would be the first Quarian I have seen on the Citadel, or heard, I haven't actually seen any…) My thoughts died out as I focused more intently on the conversation.

I heard the Asari say, "We know you know you have the money, hand it over and we won't kill you."

The Quarian was staunchly denying that she knew, or had, any money. I decided to intervene and stepped around the corner stepping on a piece of trash as I did so.

The Asari, Quarian…and three guards for presumably the Asari turned to face me.

The guards were a human with an assault rifle, a Turian with a shotgun, and another Turian with an assault rifle and a pistol.

"Um, what is going on here?" I asked making a show of mock politeness.

"None of your business," One of the Turians said, this one had a scar over his eye, and he said this as he swung his rifle towards me.

The Quarian turned towards me and pleaded, "I don't have any money."

The Asari s turned to her, "Yes you do, and you stole from us."

"No I didn't." the Quarian replied.

"How much does she supposedly take," I asked.

"A million credits," the Asari said.

"Idiots," I said, "Why would she still be here is she had a million credits? She would be back on their flotilla."

The Asari turned purple with rage, "Kill him," she screamed to her guards.

"You first," I said.

The Turians opened fire; I used Dodge to well dodge all the shots then teleported to the scarred Turian and grabbed his arm while activating Disintegration. He screamed as his body disintegrated into dust. Startled I realized I used one of my 'difficult to explain powers. (Oh well the cat is out of the box) I turned and mustered my shadow energy hitting the human who was standing there in surprise with all of it I could.

The force of the shadow energy blew him apart as it impacted his chest splattering blood and organs onto the wall behind him. (I had also forgotten to put up an illusion that it was biotics) As a result the shadow energy was red.

The last Turian got over his shell shock and opened fire at me again. This time he used full auto shredding my shields and sending me to hit the wall as the rounds dented my proto-steel armor. I stepped up groaning as his gun overheated just as the Asari hit me with a biotic warp smashing me against the wall even more, making the building shudder. I activated Invulnerability as the Turian opened for the third time. I activated Gravity and Illusion and manifested a black hole inside him surrounding him in an Illusion of a biotic glow as I did so.

His body crushed inwards, as the flesh compressed and the armor bent inwards. A few seconds later their was nothing left but a metal ball dripping blood I released Gravity and let it fall to the ground. I turned to the Asari, and the Quarian who were both staring at me with a look that had to be horror.

The Asari spoke, "What are you?"

I glanced at her. I decided to let her live and instead of speaking to her verbally I did so mentally.

"I am a monument to all your sins," I told her using my power of Fear to amplify the effect as much as possible.

She screamed and tried to run further down the alley. She stumbled a few times but made it around the corner.

"What are you and what did you do to her?" The Quarian asked looking in the direction she had taken.

"Oh well I am a powerful biotic…," I began but she cut me off.

"How did you disintegrate that Turian like that? Is it a new omni-tool function?"

"Um, yes," I said.

"What is you armor made of?" She said already jumping to the next question.

"Many different metallic alloys." I told her, "It makes it really heavy but effective."

"Not even a thank you," I mumbled sarcastically after that.

"Oh, I forgot thank you."

"Who were they anyways?" I asked.

She glanced away then back to me, "They thought I stole all their money, they are part of a gang that exhorts money from people in exchange for protection," She explained.

"Did you?"

"Um, well," She began then let out, "It was only a hundred credits, I needed the money."

"Hmm," I said, "Your pilgrimage not going well?"

"Wait how did you know of the pilgrimage?"

(How do I explain this?) "I met other Quarians..."

"Really, who were they?"

"I can't remember it was a long time ago. Anyways what is your name?"

"Tari Zorna vas Leera," The Quarian said dropping the subject of the other Quarians, "What's yours?"

"My what?" I asked forgetting.

"Your name."

"Um, Makuta," I answered.

"Oh, you took down Tarkol!" She said.

"Yeah, did you know him?"

The Quarian shook her head, "No."

I let a lot of thoughts run through my head then decided. (I can take care of my 'lost' problem.)

She had started to walk away while I was thinking I called after her, "Hey wait."

She turned and I said, "Do you know where this address is?" I rattled off the address.

"Yeah," she said, "Why?"

"I forgot to pay attention to where I was going and I am sort of lost," I told her. She looked like she was seriously considering excusing herself from this task so I continued, "I can pay."

"All right, I'll do it," She said.

Later:

After I had retuned to my apartment I was attacked by a horrible putrid stinking mob that came out of nowhere with long spindly legs and tentacles and wait those are Flood! Nah just joking, I returned to my apartment and promptly sat down on the couch and entered the extra-net. I was attempting to find how long it would be before they found my little 'massacre' scene.

Then I came to my most brilliant scheme to date. I grinned wickedly and said one word, "Spectre."

C-sec Investigator Officer Garrus Vakarian:

It all had started out as a normal day. If any day was truly normal. C-sec Investigator Garrus Vakarian had been investigating a crime ring when he came across a massacre scene.

"Great," He muttered as he looked at the crushed and smashed bodies, "Insanely powerful biotic…"

His mandibles twitched slightly in mild irritation. He glanced towards the wall where they had evidently been firing towards, "Spirits!"

Garrus's mandibles proceeded to drop in shock. There was a silhouette of a human or Asari's body. The body of their attacker had been smashed two inches into the solid metal. Garrus walked closer to the wall to scrutinize it further.

He put his hand into the dent sizing it up. That is when he noticed something.

One was a sliver of armor which he picked up and scanned with his omni-tool. The result came up as, "Unknown Metal." Garrus forwarded the results to a C-sec employee that specialized in this sort of information.

He then saw something green, a liquid on the ground near the armor sliver. Garrus stooped down and touched it with a talon.

"What is this?"

Garrus promptly dug out a small vacuum device and vacuumed the Makuta blood, as that is what it was, up.

Garrus walked over to one of the dead people, the one crushed into a ball, "Insane biotics..." he muttered again under his breath.

He moved over to one of the dead people, this one looked like he was killed by an uber powered warp blast. He decided on a hunch to run a scan for eezo over the body.

He hummed a tune as his omni-tool initiated the scanning process. It chimed as it finished.

Garrus twisted his mandibles into a frown, "Negative that can't be right then proceeded to look at the scan details.

"Not eezo," he muttered as his eyes narrowed then widened in shock, "A new form of dark energy?"

Garrus sent the data to C-sec headquarters then glanced back down at the body, "wait a minute."

Garrus thought furiously trying to remember where he had seen another body like this.

His eyes narrowed even more, as he suddenly remembered ant then muttered, "Tarkol, the guy who took down Tarkol!"

Next up Makuta traveler extraordinaire:
