Mass Effect RP: The Aegis Protection Firm

[CJ1145]

Meer had been listening to the conversation folding out, but could contain his ecstasy no longer. He suddenly bashed his head into the wall, startling everyone in the room. "Yes! It's about damn time some hot shots decided to pick a fight! I've never been happier in my life; this'll be my first fight since Archangel! Maybe I can finally cut back on this damned ryncol!" He said, while downing a pint.

 

[Crayzor]

"Shut down this one and another will pop up to replace it. Race violence is never going to leave Omega. It's a pointless exercise. But I guess we don't have much of a choice now Ocara gunned a load of them down."

 

[Chicago Ted]

Verahl:

"My actions were rash and I fouled up, I admit that, but I acted to try and benefit Aegis, my... Friend Lexi, she has information on the 4-6 and she will gladly share it with us if it means they get cleared out. I was trying to help us, I didn't think things through, but I did it for the good of Aegis. I will accept any punishment you see fit to bestow upon me Sir and while I don?t condone my actions, I stand by my intentions"

"Trying to help us?! Who the fuck do you think you are?!"

Verahl kicked his desk over, and then stepped over it as he marched straight up to Ocara. He stopped only inches from his face, now snarling at him.

"You think that you have the damn right to try something such as this without a WORD being sent to me?! You think you know what's best for this company?! Are you some one man fucking army?! Is that why you're off sneaking around?! Do you honestly think I'm so blind to the world around me, that I need you crawling into 4-6 territory for information from some skank bar maid?!"

The room was silent, except for the sound of Verahl taking in his heavy, labored breathes.

"ANSWER ME!"

 

[The Zango]

Suddenly, Ocara no longer felt afraid or like he was about to break down, he felt a cold rage build up inside of him, the same rage he had felt on Palaven when the other recruits had ganged up on him, the same rage that he had felt when his 'superiors' had told him that he would be held responsible for the deaths of his squad, despite the fact that it was self defence, the same rage that he felt when he was on the ship, watching his beloved homeworld grow further and further away, knowing that he was now a fugitive and he could never return.

"I was trying to fucking help! Get of your fucking pedestal and see that!" yelled Ocara in response, he was past his breaking point now, here he was, trying to help Aegis and he was getting chewed out for it, this he would not stand for.

He wanted that to be it, he wanted that to be the end of his out burst, but it wasn't. The comment that Verhal had made about Lexi pushed him over the edge, pushed him so far that he did what was most probably the stupidest thing action he carried out.

He threw a punch at Verhal.

Spoiler: OOC

Sincere apologies, I was not thinking straight earlier.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Verahl:

Verahl took the punch to the jaw. He hadn't expected Ocara to strike first but was ready for the next one. As the next punch was thrown at him, Verahl swept it away with his arm, and countered with a shot right to Ocara's face, only to be followed up by a string of three more blows.

Verahl took a defensive stance as he watched Ocara reel back across the room. While Ocara had hand to hand training from the military, it was nothing compared to what Verahl had picked up over the years though. He waited for Ocara to make the next blow.

 

[The Zango]

Blinded by rage, all memory of his military training evaporated from Ocara's mind, any martial arts form that he would have adopted was replaced with an uncoordinated, badly aimed charge, followed by a wide punch, aimed roughly at Verhal's face.

In the back of his mind he knew it wasn't going to go well, he knew he would be on his ass any time now, most likely with a few new injuries, but he didn't care, all he wanted to do was hurt Verhal and damn the consequences.

////////////////////////

Hearing the crashes from above and seeing the Krogan run off towards the source of the conflict, Lexi let the still burning cigarette drop from her mouth as she took off after Meer, hoping to intervene in whatever skirmish was going on below, hoping to protect Ocara.

 

[Crayzor]

Thayna groaned and followed after the other two. It would cause more problems than it would solve if Ocara and Verahl beat the hell out of each other. If anything could be done to stop the two of them, it needed to be done. And the intervention of a krogan was not likely to aid the situaion, in any case.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Verahl:

The first blow had knocked Verahl back to his senses, as he was careful and certain with every movement. Ocara was now the one blinded by emotions, and Verahl saw the opportunity in it.

Verahl watched the punch fly wide, and dodged it. His hand then went straight for Ocara's neck; as he moved close to get his foot behind Ocara's leg. Once he had a grasp of his neck, he pushed forward, causing Ocara to lose his balance and fall to the floor. At that point it was over for Ocara.

Verahl quickly placed his foot on Ocara's neck. The pressure cut Ocara's breathing, as Verahl then placed his knee directly on Ocara's chest to pin him. He then moved his leg onto Ocara's right arm, and used his left hand to grab Ocara's other arm. Ocara struggled for a moment before cringing in pain. With his free hand, Verahl pierced the wound in Ocara's side with his fingers. He then continued to put more pressure on it, and to expand the wound. Soon enough, all of Verahl's fingers were digging into Ocara.

"You're pathetic," he hissed.

He then withdrew his fingers, before forming a fist, and placing a final blow to Ocara's right eye. He then rose to watch Ocara, seeing if he would try to continue this 'disagreement' of theirs.

 

[The Zango]

The room was spinning and then Ocara was on his back, gazing at the ceiling. There was an intense pain in his right side, it felt like the round had just exploded and was expanding the hole even wider.

The pain grew to a crescendo and the last thing Ocara saw,Verhals fist hurtling towards his good right eye, a flash of white and then...

Nothing

////////////////////

Lexi had barged her way into the room, pushing past the Krogan and running to Ocara's shattered form, kneeling beside it and shaking his shoulders, trying to wake him up, trying to bring him back.

She looked up at Verhal, tears in her eyes, yet she refused to let them fall, she would remain strong.

"What the hell did you do to him you monster?! I thought you were his fucking boss!"

 

[Crayzor]

Thayna stood in the doorway, looking down at Ocara lying prone on the ground. The turian looked like he'd been pretty badly beaten, but that honestly didn't surprise her. Ocara was still very young and Verahl had spent years in the Terminus. And from the looks of Verahl, it hadn't exactly been a balanced fight.

"Verahl, are we going to have a problem with the 4-6? From what I've been told, it sounds like Ocara did something to piss them off."

 

[Chicago Ted]

Verahl:

Verahl didn't say a word to Lexi. He simply moved over top of her and Ocara, leering over them. He stared directly into her, each of his four eyes glaring through her. To him, she was nothing more then a scared child. She posed no threat, and held no authority.

"Do you want me to show you a true monster?" he asked in a slow deep voice.

"Verahl, are we going to have a problem with the 4-6? From what I've been told, it sounds like Ocara did something to piss them off."

"We are," he said slowly, turning back to face the few company members that stood in the doorway. "I want everyone prepared. Weapons ready, armor on, shields charged. I want us to be mobile in a moment's notice."

He stepped away from Ocara, heading towards the door so he could go to the armoury.

"And someone get him out of my office."

 

[The Zango]

Lexi visibly shrunk under Verhals gaze, instead turning her attentions back to Ocara. She'd seen some of her patrons this messed up in bar fights and it was most likely that Ocara would be laid up for a few days at least.

The tears now streamed down her face as she tried to lift Ocara, failing due to the bulk of his armour. She looked up to the Krogan and the Asari in turn, her voice pleading to them.

"Can one of you help me get him somewhere to lay down?"

 

[Captainguy42]

Yossar stayed upstairs just shaking his head as everyone went downstairs to turn the fight into a spectical. He looked over at Santius, " Can this day get any worse?" he asked rhetorically as he peaked downstairs at the unfolding scene.

" I can't imagine this ending well for any of us." he sighed as walked down the stairs and to Verahls office, in time to here Verahl's orders.

" Affirmative sir. Are we taking it to them first?"

 

[The Zango]

"T-Thats ok and thank you" said Lexi as they carried Ocara to his barrack, though she doubted that she was an 'integral' part of the process.

Once inside, she took a seat on a nearby cabinet and sat, just looking at Ocara for a while, silently willing him to wake up, willing him to leave the employ of that monster upstairs.

"Your Santius right? Thanks again for the help, but could I be alone with him for a while" she asked, regaining a little more of her composure and straightening up slightly.

"Don't worry, I wont steal anthing here" she added, trying to make some light of her dire situation.

Spoiler: OoC

That is me writing myself out for the night and for the majority of the weekend. If need be, feel free to wake Ocara up and use him, etc.

 

[sage42]

Sal had come running at the crash, she had been installing a new upgrade to her SMG. She arrived in time to hear the order.

"I want everyone prepared. Weapons ready, armor on, shields charged. I want us to be mobile in a moment's notice."

"Yes sir." She said throwing a quick salute. She dashed back to her room grabbed her things and was ready to go.

Spoiler: OCC

Okay sorry for my absence, even after Ocara got back I was hit with the evil know as writers block. Plus I have my grandparents over, and school starts for me on Monday. But the writers block is gone. So I'll post when I can.
