Hey guys it's Drago, I hope you enjoy reading this story just as much as I enjoy writing it. Here's chapter three, hope you like it! I don't own anything of Mass Effect except my OC's, with that let's start the story.
New Enemy
It's been an hour since the doors locked themselves. Aaron has taken this time to rest before exercising his mind, lifting small items before living the bed he was laying on with his biotics. Actina stood in the corner of the room looking at the floor, spacing out was an understatement, she stared and stared as if that one tile was the only thing left in the world. She finally broke the silence plaguing the room. "This is all a joke right? What would a bunch of pirates be raiding a school for?" Aaron thought it over for a second.
"Honestly I don't a see a good reason to attack a school, It's not like we have an abundance of food, we do have a lot of office supplies but that's about it...unless they aren't here for supplies" Actina looked at him.
"It's pirates, what else would they want?" Aaron saw a look he hadn't seen plastered on his classclassmates face before, a mixture of confusion and worry. Before he could say anything, his private comm opened and Fostan's voice followed.
"Aaron? can you hear me? I was 'given permission' to hack into the schools security system, you'll want to see this" Actina stood next to Aaron and looked over his shoulder.
"Send it over Fostan, it's good to hear form you" Aaron opened the video Fostan just sent him, the pirates were standing in front of a door. "What are they doing?"
"They're scanning the door?" The pirate had his omnitool out but the scanner wasn't activated. Fostan answered rather quickly.
"It's more likely they're scanning the room, I've been observing them and the scanner doesn't seem to be active because it isn't. The scan being performed in a third party location, it looks like the omnitool is acting as a locator and amplifier allowing for a scan of a small radius. Only question now is what are they looking for?"
"Maybe a deal gone wrong, they want to kidnap the cheapo's kid for ransom" Actina said half jokingly. A new voice came over Fostan's end.
"Maybe you're not far off, it's not a raid, so maybe they're looking for someone"
"That's the most likely conclusion Heska" Fostan said, a little annoyed the one listening in was the biggest mouth the Krogan student body can offer.
"I didn't know you could have good ideas Heska" Aaron chimed in, a shit eating grin on his face.
"I don't know how many times an arm can break but if I see you again we'll both find out Kaine" Heska shot back, showing her seriousness by using his last name. Actina broke in.
"Fostan, where are they now?"
"It's seems like they're moving rather quickly, they've cleared two and half hallways since I last checked fifteen minutes ago. They've cleared eighty four rooms in one hour and thirty minutes, they scanned our room and moved on like we weren't even here"
"How many are in the building?" Aaron asked, it didn't take long for his friend to respond.
"I counted thirty, there seems to be two designated from scanning, the rest are on patrols throughout the school"
"I'm just worried about what they'll do when they find who their looking for" said Actina, she moved away from Aaron to sit on the bed on the far side of the room. Aaron thanked Fostan and hung up. The nurse started passing out snacks from her supply closet. Aaron took the dehydrated fruit bar and thanked the nurse. When she came around to Actina, she put her hand up and told the nurse "I'm not really hungry right now, but thanks" the nurse nodded and left her. Aaron went over and sat beside her, he held the fruit bar up to her.
"Take it, you can't eat nothing all day. Besides, I've had three of these in the past hour and I always feel better after I've eaten something"
"Why do you care?"
"You brought me down here, so I owe you"
She growled "I don't want it" Actina got up and walked away muttering under her breath. Aaron placed the bar in his shirt pocket. Aaron was getting another call.
"Aaron, the pirates are outside your door, and it looks like they aren't scanning anymore. You have to get out of there" The door unlocked at that moment and opened, three humans stood in the doorway. One of them had red paint over her entire face.
"Everyone stay where they are and I promise bullets won't ricochet off the walls. We're here for two students, A human male and Turian Female, whole lot of humans, Asari, and salatians, but I only see one space turkey," She approaches Actina "You're coming with me, who'd you bring down with ya?" Actina stood there silently. "Grab one" said the woman, one of the brutish men grabbed an Asari and aimed an assault rifle to her right temple. Aaron stepped forward immediately.
"I'm the one she brought down" Actina looked at him. The woman smiled.
"Let her go" she said, the man pushed the Asari away and stood there. "good boy, now if you're smart you'll follow me to my ship, if not you'll be carried onto my ship. I sincerely hope you're a smart boy." She put a her right hand on his cheek. "You've got a pretty face, I'd hate to fuck it up." The woman took her hand away. "Let's go, wrap it up." The body guards intructed them to put thier hands behind their backs, they reluctantly obyed. The two men trapped their hands in a mass effect field restraint around their wrists before standing behind them and pushing them forward.
Actina looked at Aaron with concern. All he could do is look down and keep moving forward. The lights went out in the school, it wasn't long before the raiders turned on their lights, when the woman looked back, the two teens were gone.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter, sorry it took so long, got caught up at work later than expected but I'm having so much fun with this. As always constructive criticism is not only welcome it's encouraged so I know what to fix next time to give you guys a better story!
