SPOILERS: Mass Effect 2
Vigilante
Omega, 2184 CE
The car pulled up next to the recently demolished building and Captain Gavorn climbed out, wasting no time and crossing the street to address the Turian officer blocking access to the entrance.
"What is it this time?" he asked, pulling out his sniper rifle. "If it's more Vorcha I'm putting my boot up someone's ass."
The young officer grimaced. "As long as the ass isn't mine sir," he said. "But the Vorcha aren't the problem."
Gavorn gave the officer a look. "Since when are Vorcha ever anything but a problem?"
The officer scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Well… since they're all dead sir."
"What?" Gavorn stepped past the officer to push open the door of the old apartment building. "Why are you calling me down here over a bunch of dead Vorcha?"
The officer made another face. "It's… it's who killed them, boss."
"I don't have time to dick around," Gavorn growled. He opened the door. "Where'd all this go down?"
"Lobby," the officer said, pointing inside. "It's a mess in there sir."
Gavorn stepped into the dark building and flipped on the light attachment on his rifle. He swore. "What in the hell?"
There had to be at least twenty dead Blood Pack mercs, each one sprawled across the now blood-soaked carpet of the apartment lobby. The room stank of Vorcha and Gavorn covered his mouth to avoid breathing it in. He turned back to the officer at the door. "When did this happen?"
"I called you as soon as the screaming stopped sir," the officer replied. "I heard the Vorcha in the building, but they were dead by the time I got here."
"Hmm," Gavorn knelt down next to the nearest body and examined it. "A perfect headshot," he said, taking the Vorcha by the face and turning its head left and right. "Right between the eyes."
"So it's him again sir?" the officer asked nervously.
Gavorn stood up and scanned the rest of the room. Plenty of dark corners, overhangs, little balconies. Each a perfect spot for a sniper to take out mercenaries like they were sitting ducks.
He shook his head and out and back onto the street. "Has to be. Get someone in here to clear out these bodies before they start to stink any…"
He trailed off as he noticed the stark white graffiti emblazoned on the wall across the street. Simple words, each letter at least two meters high.
UNDER THE PROTECTION OF ARCHANGEL.
Gavorn shook his head again, then turned back to his car. "Aria's not going to like this," he said. "Looks like we really do have a vigilante on our hands."
Answer: Garrus Vakarian
Like you guys didn't see that one coming. Just a short little drabble today, but seriously, if anyone deserves an awesome spinoff, it's the most badass character in the series. Also, Garrus is the Dark Knight of Omega.
Also I'm a fangirl. Judge if you like, but he's awesome. A game that's nothing but Garrus killing shit on Omega would make me ridiculously happy.
