I don't own mass effect

Ikathan

This wasn't supposed to end like this. This was a recon mission to enter and get out the slaves, doing all the dangerous things like activating the tramps and dying for the attacks of the turrets, but not they. Now he is the last batarian alive in these cursed ruins. The scientist and all his team lay dead

The IA of these ruins, this security, takes him and his team to a trap, and they are dead. Ikathan soon will follow them, only safe because he has the nerves to instead of shooting like the other batarians do to the drones, just jump to the other side, seeing has his team begin to be assassins before him the laser of the machines perforating them like they were simple air their armors their bodies, every shot that those curses machines do make a new hole in the other soldiers its was like hours for him but in reality where mere seconds to see his companions fall full of holes like they were some kind of cheese and before the drones could shoot him also the voice once again talk

"Wait ! , let him go"

Shocking first because they were not some drone randomizing activated but a clever security system with some kind of IA commander he thinks because what could survive in this fucking ruins that old computers and only IA has a self personality, and has he saw the door open to the entrance of these ruins and don't lose the opportunity to run he doesn't want it to die like his companion continue running in the halls of this ruins trying to activate the signal of help while seeing around try to not find any drone follow him, looks like their follow the orders of the IA and let him go and that's fortunate because if he could escape this cursed ruins he could come back with reinforcement and bring down those cursed drones, even possible becoming a hero yeah Ikathan the one who survive the ruins of a strange civilization that used evil artificial intelligence stopping them for spreading across de galaxy like and discovers technology that help the hegemony to become the more powerful nation in all the galaxy

Because that will become if it could discover the secrets behind those laser, it's like imagine not magnetic shoots but real laser to be used for the ground batarians soldiers not salarians not Assari heck not even the Krogans could stop the batarian tide even could become the batarian hegemony into a true empire capable of rival or even surpass the council and make clear finally to even the terminus who is the race destined to dominate the entire galaxy if obviously could make it out of here so rapidly as fast a batarian con go running to the exit only take the opportunity to or breath or try to send a signal using his omnitools for help this signal if its activate in ruins usually means or the team was killed by a trap or because of the local security drones and turns out in this situation was the second

So finally, in the halls next to the exit, the signal is strong enough to send. He knew this was over soon, could reunite with the other batarians and came back ready to reclaim this for the batarian Hege..

He could not finish the sentence before a beam in his back made a hole in the center of his stomach, making it lose blood rapidly. In an instant, pulling him to the border of death , rapidly as he falls look to his back and see it. A drone was there, but that was impossible ! Think quickly no machine follow him a minute ago he always saw to his back where he was running and if it was the case of being followed he would have launched a grenade to the drone and make it kick to the exit , but then its stuck him he saw his back , only his back not over him and the halls where bigger all the time he only sees his back because think that it was possible that the nest of the drones could follow him forgetting that not was only there were the drones were but also in other rooms

And has he died slowly? I could only think of one thing that only in the doors of death he gave it attention "Why an IA need it to speak in the first place" finally understanding that the IA of the ruins trick him he takes a final breath, only looking to the drones and lay resting in death while his omnitools flickered while emitting the emergency signal

Almirant Garek

For Garek this kind of situation is the worst he can be it's not like it's a battle or doing some political thing at least there is something productive to do even if it's minimal at least he feels like he is doing something but this, sit watches and wait has the team enter inside the ruins and lost communication not for not minutes but hours because probably someone inside makes a mistake its frustrating he at least have the fun of see the fleets on other system doing his job, the fleet separate in forty-eight ships for the system that can be accessed for relay to make the scan of the system more efficient like he said the lesser time he is in this place the better after all don't want to make possible for other people especially pirates o salarians STG to find this ruins before he could take it the most important to the hegemony his technology

because when a ruin is found a race being will be the one who could take the better advantage of these ruins the one who discovered, the second or the third that arrives latter and usually the first It's or the council or the shadow broker and usually those two rapidly take the best, how should Garek know this? , well because usually the salarians, Asari, or members of the broker organization are the ones who have the top new technology in the galaxy and even if the broker just steals for the asari or salarians, it's just too different the samples, Garek it's likely the first batarians to be able to break this status quo in the technological race so wanting not to lose more time he rapidly tells the crew "Any information of the team we send down to the planet ?" only to receive an answer for a salarians member of his crew "Directly no, however, we detected a rapidly changing signal inside the ruins its looks like a rescue signal however it's too corrupted, most probably because for interference that must be inside the ruins or some kind of tramp that it's been inside"

Garek to that answer almost instantly said "You know if you weren't a salarian right now I would shoot you for not telling me this before" to immediately look to the rest of the crew and said "begin the descent of the fleet to the planets It most probably be an emergency signal corrupted by interference in this place where are the only ones that its actually in this planet so it's better to do this right now" but rapidly its answers by his second in command Boris "But sir, the forty-eight ships at the same time don't think its excessive sir?"Boris said to almost rapidly have to get down to not receive a bull in his forehead for Garek who rapidly said, "Any further objection ?" to look around and see the rest of the crew silent. "Good now, begin to go down to the planet, orbit slow and steady to do not have problems, and prepare the Forkek Mechs of combat if there is something down there that traps the exploration team. It's better to be prepared for combat"

The Forkek mechs name after one of the four nation members that lay the foundation of the batarian hegemony to unified their home world of Khar'shan this machine if that to be compared to their future counterpart of the YMIR Mechs It's like to compare a German panzer of the WWII to the leopards of actually, their looks to a human will be like a Quad M45 anti-air of the WWII but instead of being accompanied by a truck, its has its own pair of tank tracks to move with great autonomy and an enter in his back to the batarians to mountain, that and also that shoot magnetic bullet instead of regular ones this machines where make to be the perfect supports mechs in the batarians front line ready to attack front enemies and hostile air units

Rapidly of the ships begin to get down new transport ships which begin to disembark the materials to make a local base in the surface of the planets if they are going to be here at least it has to stay ready to any attack specially for pirates or even mercenaries like eclipse their asari and salarian teams can make very problematic his stay in this systems so it's better to be in low orbit to be capable of being protected for ambush of theirs, while its think that the base of operation in the planet its beginning ensambled first a shield generator to cover the landing site and the surroundings of the storms that are common and tents and local depot for ammunition and parts for the Fork mechs to repairs and even defense positions in case of needed like he said pirates are always a problem, and it's better to be prepared with anti-air weapons in the surface to support his ships in case of space combats this position could easily be key to stop fighters or bombers that try to damage his systems

So the fleet position in low orbit with the camp under they so could support them with anti-air guns in case of battle while also serving as a staging ground to begin the digging of the ruins to try to find possible more parts to enter while now a demolition team was sent inside the ruins to investigate the signal after all if it's a rescue signal it's probably, or they are surrounded by a possible IV security system, or they are having problem dealing with a door that don't find system to open it usually it will let the scientist do his part, but here is the time it's not in his side so with no time to lose they begin to work to the hard way make it clear if the gates don't open well, it will have to force the part inside the ruins

Terminus Pirate Fleet

It is a simple job: enter the batarian frontier system and kill the batarian who was in charge of the exploration fleet in the system, and then go back to the terminus. If he was going to do that, no Sokaror was a Krogan of principles; if he and his fleet were going to do that, it was doing it to his style, not steal only frontal assault. After all, it was a foul who commanded those ships and divided his fleet in the systems of this cluster, believing that only having military-grade ships would scare the terminus system. Of course underestimate greatly their capabilities

His fleet was only of thirty-four ships, but more of them were ready for combats with a crew veteran of the Terminus system and veterans of guerrillas warfare that was common in the Terminus because rarely does a fleet take the risk of prolonged battle because that would let them vulnerable to other Terminus factions attacking both fleets in their weakest points, but not Sokaror

No , he is a krogan and krogans are not scared of direct battles, especially against batarian the weakest of opponents. He doesn't care about the contract, or if It's to be secretive about it and wait for the signal to attack, that's the weakest way

And as the fleet enters, the cluster rapidly begins to travel to the objective. Thanks to the information given, it was easy to identify the iff for the batarian leader, and also the fact that the flagship was the bigger of the fleet made it easy for the krogan to locate, which Happily said to his crew, "Get ready, boys. When you are going for a big ship, remember to disable the ships if possible to approach them, and if not, try to shoot the engines. Scrap metal always makes good business to sell in the terminus"

As he said, the small fleet rapidly begins to approach the planet while the crew prepares for battle. The crews are locating in their battle stations, and the pilots are mounting in their fighters to begin the raid against the fleet on the planet jartar

Almirant Garek

As the red alarms sound around the ship, Garek rapidly screams to the crew, "What the hell is going on?" One of the members of the crew answers, "Sir, thirty-four ships have been detected entering the system, all with weapons ready for combat. The system recon indicates that the ships belongs to the terminus systems, and they are getting fast to our location"

Of course the terminus systems have to be, for the size its looks like to be a small fleets the calculation indicate that the fleet have the advantage of numbers, but the problem was that only twenty-four ships have military hardware the rest are barely equip to deal with incursion of small fleets not a terminus fleet these where other level and if the calculation were not wrong for the speed that those ship where having they were are going to make a guerrilla style incursion and if they were are done it to a fleet inside a planet that means only one thing, or they are desperate for resources, or they are pay, but no, if was pay by his father it could be a bigger fleet that old shit like to make spectacle of powers when he destroys what he considers "traitors"

That means that someone in the fleet it's a traitor and sell him for possible some monetary income or reward , yeah that its more possible, whatever later deal with that "Command the fleet to get down make the weapons in the camp useful and command the cargo and scientific ships to evacuate to be used as shield against the canon of the enemy ships" Said Garek in a fancy and calm way to try to rise the moral of the crew his plan was simple has he and his fleet has less military ships he will resist to the time the rest of the fleets converge to destroy the pirates while the camp in the ground should support them with anti-air artillery with the helps of the Forkerks Mechs yeah it will limit the use of the main canons but against pirates usually there are not required

"How are the mechs on land?"Garek asks between the communications to the ground, "Only two are ready, Almirant, where are we still Unpacking and assembling the others" Talking to the soldiers on the ground, clearly, Garek cursed that method of moving the mechs. Yeah, great efficiency in transport, said the salarian who made the modification, but clearly he didn't take into account a situation that requires the mech to be used right now.

And has he said that the first fighters begin to show up for the pirates, who begin to open fire against the fleet of Admiral Garek, who begin to fire against the fighters with the turrets of his ships, and his own fighters that begin to get out of the cruiser to fight against the pirates and one thing was sure in this

The battle of Jartar has begun

You didn't expect that, didn't you? , well yeah, the battle will be not of two forces but three. Remember that this is the galaxy of almost two centuries before the reapers even try to look around, so incursion between nations and pirates in the frontiers is well not suprisinling and for those who notice, yeah, I am using information of mass effect continuation, but It's only for filling the holes in the information that the original game left behind, like, how was the batarian hegemony unified his homeworld in the first place, peacefully ? , violent ? (begin batarians most likely) and things like that

In the next chapter, I will begin to define the fronts and the actions of the three sides in the battle. Like always, I like to give thanks to all who read it. This is my first fanfic, and all the constructive commentary is well received and help me to improve my writing
