FEAR WARS

Location unknown, 0800 galactic hours, 3rd galactic cycle

Urks'nalf is too old to deal with this Gras'nofl of a foreigner who is in his cradle of healing, the little unknown being brought to him by the young hunters, just awakened from his deep involuntary sleep. The little thing seems to be trembling on its bones in fear when seen from the front.

When it was brought to him, Urks'nalf doubted at first that a being so weak and frail-looking could move with limbs as feeble as the ones brought by this foreigner. And with an outfit so thin and light, you wouldn't be surprised to see this foreigner being Kill'gatore by a young Krakaoks.

But putting all that aside Urks'nalf can see that this fragile foreigner is looking at him with those beady little eyes, the purple skin of this foreigner still covered in Izklian honey, towards his work in healing this foreigner's wounds.

But if it continues to be that way, he doubt very much that the Izklian honey will continue to do its job if this foreigner continues to tremble in the same way that it has been doing, since the previous 5 seconds.

The old healer Cramtaurug grunted in annoyance, moving forward to see the foreigner still trembling with what looked like fear and still on all fours on the floor of his healing cradle.

When Cael saw the foreigner approaching, he got up quickly and walked away, afraid of what this huge being could do to him. And in a voice shrill enough to sound like a panicked Quarian, she said in her language to Urks'nalf, "Wa-Wait! don't come any closer! stay back I warn you! " Cael said backing away, tripping over a piece of furniture that seemed to be made of some kind of metal.

Cael saw tools and objects of different shapes and sizes, ranging from strange pincers, with the tips of this one full of small teeth, a kind of mallet with three rounded axes, and the last one, a kind of blade that seems to be made of metal. with saw teeth on top of the blade and a hilt of redwood.

Cael without hesitation grabbed the great blade with both hands intending to use it, but something Cael didn't count on was the weight of the blade. Cael's weak and brittle arms dropped the blade to the ground, pinning it to the floor of the healing cradle.

Urks'nalf answers him in his native language "I don't understand anything you say, stranger, but I'll take care of your wounds, so don't try to do anything Toftox, with that Sabrels" said Urks who saw how Cael pathetically tried to raise the blade of the floor. Urks'nalf tired of dealing with this growls annoyed, so determined to get this over with. Urks'nalf walked forward.

Taking the blade from the point and pulling it away from Cael's hands, who tried to stop him from taking it off. But the tremendous overwhelming strength of this Cramtaurug was simply superior to the frail body of a Quarian.

Cael stumbled forward, falling face-first to the ground. Cael then turned and saw how the Cramtaurug left the great blade in that piece of furniture where he saw the other tools. Then he turned to face him.

Urks'nalf's crimson eyes gleamed a little in annoyance, but it vanished as quickly as it came. Something amazing that Cael could see was that the Cramtaurug's previously red eyes changed to a green color.

The Cramtaurug's eyes have the amazing trait of changing the color of their eyes, depending on the emotional states they are in, red for annoyance, green for passivity, blue for sadness, and purple for disgust. And the last gray is for when a Cramtaurug is in its last moments of life. All thanks to organisms that react to different states of mind or the adrenaline that runs through your blood.

And Urks'nalf right now is trying to relax, trying to look more passive so that Cael does not fear him more than he already fears him. And trying to sound as peaceful as he could he said "Look foreigner, you have brought me a lot of trouble in the last 4 Pixos, so please, get on the healing cradle. So that I can continue to heal you or I will return you to deep sleep by force myself" He pointed at Cael with one of his fingers while saying this, and then pointed at the bed. Telling him through signs to get on the crib again.

Cael seeing the movements of this alien seemed reluctant to do whatever it was that he was asking him to do, it's not like he could understand what he wanted him to do, but from what it seems, this being wants him to get on back to that gigantic hammock.

Cael is honestly tempted to try to run as fast as he can to get out of this place, the idea of fleeing as far away from these beings and looking for the rest of his people who landed on this planet. But right now he can't.

He is in a completely unknown position, with completely unknown beings, and with no idea where his people might be. All you would be doing is risking your life and the lives of others trying to get out of this place, plus it is much more likely that they will try to stop you before you can escape from them.

Coming to the disastrous result of him being disemboweled by these beings and possibly turned into food. If your chances are not very high.

So with no choice but to obey what this being seemed to indicate, Cael slowly got up from the ground, showing the Cramtaurug soft movements to avoid alerting him to any sudden movement that would alter Urks'nalf's behavior. And just as he moved, he stood up completely, and with his eyes on the hammock, Cael climbed on it.

And now being able to feel how comfortable this was. He means sure, it seems to be made from the skin of some unknown creature on this planet, but it certainly is ultra-comfortable, much more comfortable than the pillows they have on the Quarian life ship.

Urks'nalf, seeing that this unknown being lay down again in the healing hammock, was because of some things that were in a piece of furniture made of red branches, holding a bowl of what seemed to be the same liquid that was placed in the hammock. Cael's face. Urks'nalf clattered back to Cael, looking at him as he moved his fingers into the honey.

Once his fingers were dipped in this honey, Urks'nalf moved his hand and began to spread more of the honey onto Cael's covered torso.

Cael was afraid of what this jelly could do to him, but after feeling that this galea that was stuck to his face did nothing to him, he can trust for the moment that it won't do any irreparable damage to his suit and in the future. process.

When Urks'nalf's fingers touched Cael's torso. He could instantly feel a kind of relaxation and comfortable warmth embrace that part of the body that is now covered by honey, he could feel that the phantom pain that resided in that place now completely vanished, almost as if it had never existed for begin.

A sensation of great relief began to flood Cael's body and for some strange reason, he feels that he is floating at this moment, as if he had entered a comatose state due to the contact with some unknown drug. And damn it feels vot amazing.

Keelah, it feels like the best fucking experience ever, Cael is considering right now getting addicted to this thing or maybe stealing a little. Maybe stealing a little for him will help him feel better than he already is.

Urks'nalf, seeing that the strange being is beginning to feel the effects of Skarnigan's honey, left the bowl on the cabinet where he left the great blade, walking back to the cabinet where he grabbed the honey.

Once in front of it, he grabbed some herbs in the shape of a circle, with tips extending into the contours of the blue sheet, in the center of it you could see a mound filled with a kind of yellow liquid, Grabbing another container that looks like a mortar, I walk towards the furniture from before.

Leaving the mortar back on the cabinet, he put the herb in. Beginning to grind it with the rock in his hand, after several minutes, the herbs now turned thickly liquid, with bits of the herb cut into very small pieces.

Once the grass was completely ground, I put another of my fingers into the ground mixture again, spreading once More fingers, he brings his scaled hand closer to the Quarian's face. Then put a small line of the thick liquid just below the Quarian's nostrils.

and Cael feeling that he was still drugged, could only say out loud "Keelah, this is fucking amazing" To say that he was enjoying this is an understatement.

Urks, having already applied the necessary herbs and creams to heal this being, left the bowl on the tray, walking away from it and letting Cael rest in that hammock.

Walking up some stairs made of thick and strong branches, he headed towards the main entrance of his healing cradle. But on their way, many more Quarians could be seen lounging in the hammocks, all stripped of their protective helmets, some even of their suits. All to treat their injuries and then interrogate them.

Urks has been working the previous 4 Pixos on them, using everything at his disposal to treat these unknown beings. Where they come from, Urks hasn't the faintest idea, but one thing's for sure, whatever they were. They did not come alone.

When the skies caught fire with the fall of their great metal spheres, Urks'nalf and the rest of the Cramtaurug were able to see three different types of objects. The first three big ones that arrived descended to the ground-bound for the Kranik forests, where they later disappeared. But the unknown smell flooded his senses.

the second objects that descended were the ones that contained these small and fragile beings, most of them were injured, some injuries for sure caused by the impact of wherever they were inside. But those who were not wounded were quickly contained to prevent them from firing.

And taken to the Snerk's cages, where they will not be able to leave and will be watched by the guards of that place. Pack leader Pourux'Scarf has many questions for them, putting him in charge of treating the wounded.

And now that he's dealt with them, he has to report to the bloody hand of Pourux'Scarf.

Joarux'Korm the green bleed.

Urks'nalf comes out of his healing cradle, outside his healing cradle the place where he resided was seen, inside one of the great trees of Izklian, the sacred trees and home of the Cramtaurugs, being one of the main cradles Healing of this tree.

Sections attached to the branches of trees, full of things attached to them plagued the interior of this great tree, with streets attached to these which were full of activity.

With carts full of Cramtaurugs and various other species native to the planet prowling these streets of wood, stone, and metal. Carts being pushed by beings bigger than Cramtaurugs, standing 5 times bigger than them.

Beings in a shape reminiscent of a rhinoceros, with 6 legs with round hooves, a large back rising from its front legs, and a head in the shape of a hammer, with short jaws for eating plants and fruits, and arms. short under their necks, which are used to grab the herbs or grass they are stepping on. The 6 eyes that it has on the side of its head, just below the hammer-shaped horn. The color of their skin, reddish with yellow lines, makes them perfect for adapting to the environment where they are.

This being is known as the Rignom, the main mule creature of the Cramtaurug race, who is pulling a wheelbarrow made of wood and metal, with a cloth on top of it, being steered by a Cramtaurug trader. With many boxes inside with possible weapons, swords, and precious objects inside.

Other beings that haunt this place are tiny creatures, the size of the foot of the Cramtaurug, beings with a serpentine body, two insectoid arms, and a mouth resembling that of a snake. Being considered the first inhabitants of this Izklian tree. The Pilgrims.

But none of this was important to Urks'nalf, the most important thing to notice was the group of 5 holy warriors standing in front of his door, every one of them with metal plates on their bodies, leather bracelets, and necklaces in them.

But the most important to highlight of all of them, was the one that had brown steel shoulder pads, carefully made to be highlighted among the others, with marks and ornaments on it, a bracelet made of steel, with a leather glove on it, a red loincloth on his waist and right shoulder, the skin of an unknown purple-colored creature hanging down to over his shoulder. With green and white skin, with black markings on his chest and back.

Proudly displaying his origin as the progeny of a warrior hunter. The Bloody Hand of the Pack Leader: Joarux'Korm

Seeing Urks'nalf come out of his healing cradle, Joarux'Korm asks him, with green eyes, "Urks'nalf, how have the strangers fared so far?"

"They went well, some of them got up, and the Toftox that tried to fight were quickly disarmed, but I managed to apply Izklian honey on them, some of them didn't have enough strength to stay awake and perished unfortunately"

Joarux upon hearing this cannot help cursing "Gras'nofl, well, do what you can for those Deblinks, but we can't lose more, the great Colminux wants to know more about them"

Urks nodded at the words of the bloody hand of the leader of the herd "As you order bloody hand" With that said Urks'nalf went back to deal again with the Quarians that he has inside his healing cradle.

One of the Cramtaurug, red-skinned and equipped with a breastplate, an arm covered with steel plates, and a loincloth, asked Joarux, " Now what do we do bloody hand?"

Joarux turned to the rest of his men and told them "Now, we will go to where the young hunters found these unknown beings, if they try to raise the sword, then they will die by our strength" he turned and began to walk, to the path that takes you to the exit of the Izklian tree.

10 kilometers from landing zone Alpha 1, 0809 Galactic hours, 3rd Galactic cycle

The sound of the grasses being pushed aside and crushed was the only sound surrounding the pirates right now, the sounds of unknown creatures that sounded earlier have been silenced. Allowing pirates to now listen to everything with complete ease.

The group of pirates that was previously 27 was reduced to 22, all because of the sudden flash of surprise that blinded them all, allowing this new race to eliminate 5 of them.

The Krogan that had been shot from the abdomen and leg was still limping, unable to heal the wounds it had received a few minutes ago. Whatever they had used to shoot at him, it did more damage than he had thought. In addition, the scarred and burned flesh did not help much as the pain was clouding it.

The captain of this group of Batarians, walking as fast as possible to catch these new beings that had eliminated five of their own, activated his omni tool. Establishing communication with one of the boarding ships "This is HV-02 over"

The Batarian shouted, "This is purple team, we need reinforcements at our location, we are chasing an unknown race that engaged us, I repeat, a new race engaged us over!"

The boarding craft pilot suddenly said, "Did they make contact with a new known race?"

"yes silly! What are you waiting for bring as many as you can! NOW!" With that said, the Batarian cut off the communication, focusing again on what is at stake right now. And what has happened is that 10 minutes have passed and there is still no sign of this new unknown race.

But that doesn't worry him now, they will find them soon, it's just a matter of time, even though they have eliminated one of their Varrens and several of their fellow slavers, they still have enough power to be able to give those bastards a large number of holes in their bodies.

But while they kept looking for Alex, Matías, and the girl Quariana. Without them realizing what is happening, they are being watched right now.

Alex, Matías, and the Quariana could see how the pirates were looking for them from the tree branch, seeing every step and movement that the pirates made to find them.

Waiting for the right moment to attack.

Matías had his MX-35 Blaster lined up against the head of one of the Salarians from the pirate group, ready to blow his head off at the perfect moment, Alex who was higher up already had the grenades ready to use against the pirates.

The lanterns that illuminate the path of the pirates were not the most inconspicuous, instead revealing their location, like fireflies in the dark.

Matías, who was already feeling the tension increase, could not help but ask the Quarian "Hey Esan, we have never asked, but what is your name, little girl"

The Quarian surprised by the sudden question doesn't respond instantly, but it was enough for her to answer, telling him "W-well my name is Tali'Zorah."

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Esan Tali, you remind me a little of my Esan that I have at home," said Matías.

"R-really? Tali asked.

"Yes, it's the truth," said Matías.

Seeing how the hostile SNI were moving just where they wanted, they planned to trap them in a sudden surprise attack, throwing a grenade to disperse them, then both would start to open fire on them, eliminating them from this vantage point they are in.

In case they had to go down to deal with the melee problem they would, but without risking Tali in the process, still using the grenades to their advantage and separating them, dealing with them one by one until no one was left.

You see that they have done that, they will take the girl. And some of the bodies in the process, but that will take time, time the Quarian doesn't have, they'll have to get Tali to Alpha base first.

And leaving her with Captain Darek, leaving her with Korak is just asking that the place where she examines the SNI becomes a scene from a bad old horror-slasher movie.

The pirates kept walking, aiming their weapons at wherever it was in front of them, the scarlet night light certainly helping them, hiding them from the sight of these SNIs.

Already seeing that they had positioned themselves exactly where Matías wanted them to, information for the surprise attack was prepared for them. Matías turning on his communicator told Alex "Now, throw the grenades"

"As you say" Alex answered back, with a grenade in hand he pressed a button on top of it, activating it with a timer of about 30 seconds, he waited 20 seconds for the grenade to detonate instantly on the ground, just when it had 10 seconds to go to explode. Alex throws the grenade.

For Alex and Matías everything suddenly turned into slow motion, they see how the grenade fell in the middle of the group of pirates, and they see how suddenly one of the pirates, a Batarian to be specific, saw the grenade fall in the middle of them, they saw how suddenly the grenade detonated in a brilliant thermal explosion, which ended up vaporizing anyone unfortunate enough to be in its radius.

And they saw how it completely disintegrated, bone by bone, molecule by molecule, two unfortunate Turians, three Batarians, and a Salarian. The pirates seeing many of their companions being disintegrated instantly threw themselves to the ground.

All with the intention that the supposed fragmentation would not kill them instantly, but something they don't know is that this grenade is that once the thermal grenades detonate, they create a full 360° explosion. With a radius of about 10 meters and a height of 14 meters, generating a great explosion of heat capable of disintegrating anyone within its reach in a matter of seconds.

There was no chance for anyone to be saved if they stepped into the range of the explosion, the chances are slim to none in that regard. The poor pirates who were caught up in the blast would never be seen again, turned to dust along with the rest of the land within reach.

Seeing that many SNI were absorbed by the explosion, Matías got up and yelled at Alex "Open fire!" squeezing the trigger of his MX-25 Blaster, blue lasers were fully directed at one of the pirates who was still on the ground. Instantly killing another of the Salarians in the process.

He then aimed at a Turian who was getting up from the ground, he had his rifle in hand, but unfortunately, he couldn't return fire. Blue-colored smoking holes on his chest, abdomen, and head were suddenly created by the lightning strikes that collided with his body.

Alex took out another thermal grenade from his waist, he activated it, throwing it at about 2 Batarians who were vaporized, then he took out his MX-35 Blaster and started shooting at the pirates.

Quickly, all the pirates, seeing that they were being ambushed and seeing that several of their companions were killed, got up, starting a race against some trees that are not far from them. Using them as cover against the blue lasers.

The Batarian leader, seeing that his group was reduced instantly, activated his omni tool again, and shouted with all his might to the same pilot from before "Where are the damn HV-02 reinforcements!"

"ETA to reach the area, 2 minutes, wait for purple leader" the pilot responded robotically.

"Well, don't be long silly!" The Batarian yelled back, disabling his omni tool and then leaning out of the tree he was hiding in, and firing at Alex and Matias who were shooting at them.

The accelerated shells weren't as fast as the shells that were fired from Alex's and Matias' blasters, the N7's semi-solid battery shells were faster than the zero-element powered ones. No wonder they could reach the level of power that weapons made by humanity. They are toys compared to the power of Elxter particle science.

So it was no surprise that the shells passed through the trunk or branches of the trees without much trouble, creating smoking and burned holes of a particular blue color.

And one by one, the pirates were falling. It's only a matter of time before all the Pirates die soon. One of the Krogans, the one who was not injured, and who was behind some thick branches of the trees, could see that the unknown being that was higher up, was in some not-so-thick branches, like the other one that is in a thicker and thicker one. who appears to be with the Quarian girl.

I quickly touch the shoulder of one of the Turians, drawing their attention, and point to where Alex is at the moment "Shoot the one who is higher up the tree!" With that said, he began to shoot along with the Turian directly at the branch, breaking pieces of it as they shot.

Alex could feel some projectiles hitting his Elxter particle shield, the damage he suffered from the projectiles was minimal, but that wasn't what worried him, instead, he was more worried about the branches that are moaning.

The shells they fired must have broken or weakened the branches Alex is standing on. It will go down very soon if you don't do something.

An idea formed in Alex's mind, looking at his wrist blade he decided that he would face them now on the ground, surrounding them while supporting Matías in the process.

With that he jumped to grab the tree completely, using the power of his praetor suit he began to descend in a controlled manner from the tree. Using only one hand to reach the ground.

In the rapid process of descending, he turned and began firing his MX-35 Blaster at the pirates, hitting one of the Turians, with a clean shot that completely disintegrated his forehead.

Alex, already being about 10 meters from the ground, jumped from the tree, using the legs that he had recharged on it to propel himself. And using the moment he went flying into the air, in a controlled somersault.

Aiming at the rest of the pirates, he fired two shots at each of them, taking out another Turian and the last but one living Batarian with shots that completely shattered their heads.

Alex landed on his feet, then turned and continued firing, as he ran to the right, fatally wounding the other uninjured Krogan.

But the Krogan that Alex had injured from the start, wanting revenge for the injuries he had caused. He allowed himself to be blinded by blood rage, a state that Krogans take after taking a lot of damage, turning them into absolute beasts of rage.

The Krogan could only see red at the moment and not caring about dying, it broke out of cover, charging at Alex at high speed.

Alex saw the Krogan's suicide Krogan charge, aiming at the Krogan, and start firing at it, destroying its kinetic shields instantly, before starting to create more smoking holes and molten flesh through the Krogan's body.

But that didn't stop the Krogan, who used his body to carry Alex around the waist, Alex snorted at the Krogan's sudden attack, dropping his blaster by accident, while being charged by the Krogan.

Then the Krogan crashed Alex against a tree and then tried to suffocate him with his forearm, Alex sensing the Krogan's intentions activated the super strength of his suit, and the segments glowed as they began to strengthen. Alex, already feeling the effects of the super strength, struck the Krogan's elbow, bending it and allowing it to come close to his face, before landing another side blow to its head.

The Krogan released him from the sudden force of the blows, which Alex took advantage of, activating his wrist blade, and jabbing it into where he believes to be the Krogan's neck. Orange blood began to drip from the wound left by the knife in the Krogan's throat.

The Krogan began to gargle, clutching at the wound he just sustained, Alex stepped in front of him, the Krogan tried to hit him but Alex ducked in time, Alex then stepped around to end up behind him, wrapping his arms around himself. from the Krogan's waist and lifting it slightly into the air.

The Krogan struggled, then using the strength of his Bloodrage to break free, he turned in time. but only to give Alex the perfect opportunity to charge up and start pushing him off, wrapping his arms around the Krogan's back, then lifting him off the ground again and slamming him into the ground.

Being on top of it, Alex turned around on top of the Krogan's body, using his feet to move into a more suitable position, now Alex is lying on top of the Krogan. His entire body is on top of his abdomen.

and Alex dealt the Krogan his punishment, mercilessly punching him in the face and using the increased strength the suit was providing him, he began to slowly destroy the Krogan's helmet, cracking it with each blow he landed.

Alex then grabs a part of the Krogan's neck, pulling him closer and hitting him harder now, the Krogan's helmet breaks from the force of the blows revealing the inside of the helmet.

Alex could see an orange-skinned being, with a kind of armor on his head, determined to end this, he continued with the blows. Bathing in orange blood for every blow he landed.

Deciding to end this, Alex hit him with all his might, gouging out one of the Krogan's eyes and revealing his full face to this world. Beaten and misshapen, with blood oozing from the missing orb, from its mouth, and from what it assumes to be its nose, great wide teeth fell from the Krogan's mouth, and its eyes with pupils could only stare at nothing. No signs of life.

Alex released the Krogan's body, allowing it to fall to the ground dead, a sudden roar taking him by surprise. He looked at the other Krogan, seeing that this one charged at him as well. He quickly got to his feet and ran over, intending to take him down.

But just as the two were about to collide, Alex at the last minute slips in, activating the blade and slicing through the Krogan's crotch. The wounded Krogan stopped suddenly, limping with each step he took.

The cut on his testicles is such overwhelming pain that he's starting to blur around him, he wants to get up and fight to the finish. But that did not happen, because the shot from a Zenit-32 pistol, blowing his brains out with a single shot.

Alex turned around determined to end this once and for all, using the Zenit-32 he began to slowly advance while shooting at the pirates, eliminating the Last Varren that tried to bite him.

The Batarian, seeing that his group is being rapidly eliminated, turns on his omni tool again, establishing communication with HV-02 "HV-02! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU!"

"This is HV-02, I'm above you right now" Upon hearing that, the Batarian captain looks up, seeing that the ship is beginning to descend to the ground. Matías upon seeing this cursed, aiming his rifle at the side of the pirate landing ship.

The doors open suddenly, revealing 6 Batarians, 2 Turians, and 3 Salarians. Leaving the ship shooting Matias and Alex, Matias managed to take out a Salarian by shooting his head.

Matías continued firing, aiming at where the cabin of the ship appears to be. Shooting it to kill the pilot if possible, the blue-colored bolts collided with the cockpit area, leaving behind glowing marks that were starting to melt. Then one of the many lightning strikes that struck the ship's cabin passed through it.

Scaring the pilot who expected all the pirates to get out, he is at risk and has to get out of there. With that in mind, the HV-02 pilot lifted off, forcing the pirates out of the ship.

The Batarian pirate captain, seeing that his pilot was leaving, called him "Why the hell are you leaving HV-02!"

"The alien had started shooting at me! The bastard broke through the ship's armor! If you think I'll be back then forget it! Are alone!"

The pirate captain could only tremble with anger upon hearing his pilot's response, and he began to curse him "You bloody coward! When I get out of this I swear I'll kill you! you heard me! I swear I te-" The Captain's words were cut off when a shot from a weapon, which uses semi-solid batteries as projectiles, pierced his throat.

Burning the flesh and armor together, the Batarian's burned flesh fused with the armor that was being melted and burned, and the cauterized flesh began to emit steam. The Batarian Captain turned around and saw that the person responsible for creating that hole in him was Alex.

Alex had the gun pointed at the Batarian, his finger pulled the trigger and the rest is not necessary to explain, the Batarian could only see with his four eyes in fear when he saw Alex even with the gun pointed at him.

If the pirate will die on this planet, he will do so with his weapon in hand and fighting to the end and taking these strange beings with him into oblivion. The Batarian tried to raise his weapon. But Alex being faster than the Batarian activated the automatic mode of the pistol, shooting several bolts from the semi-solid battery at the Batarian.

Starting from his legs, then up to his waist, then up into his abdomen and chest, and finally through the Batarian's throat and head. The lifeless body of the pirate captain could only stand for a few seconds, before finally falling backwards.

Completely dead and riddled with blue smoking holes in his body, Alex turned to face the rest of the pirates, who were still hiding in the trees. He saw how one of the SNIs with a human body shouted something out loud.

Alex quickly activated the translation program installed by Midas, now clearly hearing the voice of that SNI.

"Back off! Retreat to the assembly point! " The pirate Asari began to turn around, aiming to flee from this pointless fight and trying to save her skin and put aside her group of pirates. Showing no mercy, Alex opened fire on Asari's back, killing her before she could flee.

Alex suddenly felt that he was hit by a truck, he crashed against a tree that was behind him, he looked ahead and saw that one of the Asaris from the pirate group was glowing with a dark blue aura around her body.

Alex's mind immediately linked this to the abilities of a Psycho-Elxter, people who were exposed to a large amount of uncontrolled Elxter particles, giving them the abilities to move objects using their minds, read minds, and Create various Elxter-based items from swords, shields, spears, and bows with enough power to penetrate Elxter particle shields.

he has even heard rumors that various Psycho-Elxters could summon holes of light, fire with the power of the sun, and thunder that can reactivate a sector of a space citadel.

But compared to what he is seeing right now.

It's child's play.

Alex quickly gets up and steps aside avoiding a Zero element spear that penetrated the bark of this tree, he turned around looking at the Asari who is about to do something else, he points the wrist blade in his hand activating a system built into the blade, one of the vials with Elxter inside began to empty into the device.

Spawning Elxter's blade again, I aim it at the Asari who just launched another Zero element spear at Alex. Seeing that his blade is starting to generate Elxter-white flames from the mouth of the device, Alex fired the blade that was overflowing from Elxter with a simple mental command.

Elxter's created projectile shone like a sun piercing the darkness, illuminating this crimson night. The Zero element spear was no match for the power of the Elxter, being destroyed from its very molecular level by the superior power of the Elxter.

Seeing that her zero-element spear was pierced by the pure Elxter projectile, the Asari invoked a zero-element shield to protect herself, but the raw and almost primordial power of Elxter passed through the Zero element without much trouble, going through the waist of the Asari like butter.

His upper body detached from his body, spinning in the air until colliding with the alien ground, Elxter's projectile kept going, slashing two Turians and a Salarian in the process.

the pirates take the most logical course of action, which is to flee as far as possible from them, running as fast as their anatomy allowed them towards the meeting point where the rest of the pirate forces will be stationed.

Seeing that the SNI were withdrawing, Matías stopped shooting, placing the magnetic safety on his weapon to prevent it from going off, Alex turned to see him and raised his thumb "We tear them apart!"

Matías breathed a sigh of relief, happy not to have to deal with any more SNI right now, that relief that flooded him later turned into concern, hearing Tali start to moan in pain "Shit! Alex!"

"What's happening?!" Alex asked.

"Take the girl! Take her to the Alpha base! Put the gravity adapters on it! She's already starting to feel the effects of gravity! " said Matías who grabbed Tali under the legs and back, and then leaned over the shore. Seeing that Alex was already down with her hands in the air to grab Tali.

He released Tali, allowing her to fall unharmed into Alex's arms. Shepard told his friend "Well I'll see you at the base! Also, bring some of the SNI bodies in the area! "

"I will, don't worry about me! you just run! " After hearing Matías' answer, Alex without thinking began to run at great speed the way they came, crossing the plants, trees, and rocks that rose from the ground.

As she ran, she could hear Tali moaning in pain, "It-it hurts, my body hurts so-so much, I 'm having a hard time breathing." Alex could see through that girl's visor the pain flashing from her opaque face.

Activating the translation program, Ales replies "It's okay Esan, we'll take you to my base, there you'll receive help, I promise" Alex said as he kept running as fast as this suit could allow him.

But as he ran in the direction where the cargo ships landed, orange eyes watching Alex's footsteps, the Cramtaurugs of the holy guard watched the path the stranger was taking from the tops and branches of the trees.

The holy guards, with heavy weapons and rifles that looked primitive but deceptively advanced, stayed in position, intent on avoiding being noticed by these strangers.

One of the holy guards, yellow-skinned, looks at Joarux'Korm. "Bloody hand, should we capture them?"

Joarux'Korm shakes his head "No... for the moment we will only watch them, it is not yet the time to show our fangs, for the moment we will only watch their actions, and from what we have seen, those strangers who have recently arrived are violent and dangerous, so have Parpex with them, we still don't know what they are capable of doing" said Joarux.

Hunger was what this strange being could feel at this moment, he had to satisfy his hunger to get rid of this discomfort that he is feeling, but the prey that he naturally hunts at this time of night is not present.

As if one of the great Grak'tras walked this place, even though he hasn't.

Suddenly the ears behind my eyes picked up the sound of something, an unfamiliar sound that I had never heard before. I could tell it came from heaven.

Knowing this, I set my three eyes on the sky, seeing something quite strange.

Objects that I cannot identify began to come down from the sky, wherever these things or beings are landing, it is not very far from where I am.

These unknown things may be food. With that in mind, I swing my long arms to help me move faster, my short legs with the large pikes, keeping up with my long arms. Maybe wherever those things landed I'll find some food.

My long, wide, and strong tail moved the trees that were in my path, my arms leaving huge footprints with each step I took.

Maybe this isn't a bad night after all.
