Beginnings:
Izahm was breathing hard from all the running he had been doing for the past two hours. "Damn varren," he mutters once again checking over his equipment which since his shuttle was being guarded consisted of his Omni-tools and an excavation tool, "Why do they have to have such good noses." His check complete he glances over the rock he had been hiding behind searching for his pursuers. There not two yards away is a varren nose to the ground and a very nasty looking Krogan with a claymore ready behind it. "Whatchya smell boy?" the krogan says noting the varrens increase in activity. "Shit," Izahm mutters under his breath as the varren charges in his direction. He jumps out from the rock activating his tech armor as he does then as the varren lunges for his throat activates an Omni-blade stabbing it several times in the body then using his own strength to push it aside just in time to get headbutted by a charging krogan. With an explosive discharge of breath Izahm is thrown ten yards into a tree the tech armor augmented shields dampening the impacts but not stopping the direct kinetic energy. "Damn," he coughs out trying to get back up only to be forced back down by an armored boot followed by the cold steel barrel of a claymore pressed to his head, "Don't move. I'd rather bring in the live bounty on you Shadow," a deep gravelly voice says above him. "Heh it'll be a cold day in hell before I fall to the likes of you Nivakh Crull," Izahm says smirking inside his helmet. "Don't make me blow your damn head of whelp," Crull growls out. Now recovered Izahm places his hands beneath himself strategically tensing his body so as not to alert the krogan on his back of his intent. Suddenly with an explosion of light he detonates his tech armor throwing Crull back then deploying his overclocked Omni-blades slams them into his thick neck slicing to the sides mortally wounding Crull. "Like I said whelp it'll be a cold day in hell before I fall to the likes of you," Izahm spits at Crull's rapidly dying form before running towards his shuttle."Well least I took out the krogan," Izahm says to himself using his on-board HUD to scan the forces guarding his shuttle. Arrayed in a two concentric formations are close to twenty mercenaries armed with an array of weaponry. There's even a Sentinel guarding an Engineer who is trying to access his shuttle. "Good luck with that losers," Izahm says sarcastically then ghosts forward closer a plan forming. Once he's in position he takes one more scan takes a deep breath and activates his Omni-tools taking another deep breath he vaults over the rocks he had been hiding behind and charges the mercenaries. The first one to notice him was also the first to die with an Omni-blade to the gut then head, the second and third were also dispatched quickly however the remaining soldiers turn and target him, his enhanced shielding holds for a few long seconds before it fails and he feels the muted impacts. He flinches but keeps going slicing through three more before the Sentinel turns and throws him back. Izahm goes flying but not before throwing the Engineer into his shuttle with enough force to kill him two times over. He lands heavily rolling several times before coming to a stop bleeding profusely and breathing heavily, undeterred he gets up charging the stunned mercenaries once again cutting down four more then a fifth then a sixth before the Sentinel once again throws him. This time however Izahm stays down having taken too much damage from before and utterly exhausted from his exploits earlier. The Sentinel walks slowly over Izahm, "You should have come quietly now you die without anyone knowing you are gone," he says then aims a Phalanx at Izahm when in a brilliant flare of light the Sentinel and four others are thrown against the shuttle. all but the Sentinel are killed then the other four too stunned to move are gunned down one by one by four rapid shotgun blasts. As Izahm's Vision darken's he sees a form glowing blue step into his vision followed by the most soothing and calm voice he has ever heard saying, "Hold on honored warrior. You must live to tell of this tale." Then darkness descends on him and he loses all sense of being and time.
Izahm wakes up next to his shuttle with a splitting headache and his armor gone. He looks around to find the bodies of the mercenaries arrayed in neat rows and sitting nearby him is an Asari wearing armor cleaning what appears to be a Disciple. Izahm can only tell it's a Disciple by the weapons unique design. "Who-ugh!" Izahm says trying to sit up only to lay back down as his body is wracked with pain. "Peace warrior you're injuries are most severe but I have done what I can," the Asari says stowing the Disciple and walking over to him. "Who are you?" Izahm asks. "I am Niniah Avrosh," the Asari says, "And I am a Justicar." "Thank you for saving me," Izahm says, "I know it must have been difficult to leave your immediate crusade to help me." "Nonsense the Code demands I help any warrior in need," Niniah says using an Omni-tool to scan his body, "You don't show any signs of dying from your injuries just extreme soreness and some scarring." "Heh just more stories for me to tell," Izahm says then after a deep breath stands up putting a hand on the shuttle for support. "Come Niniah follow me inot my shuttle and we can talk more there, also there's a small med-bay in the rear that you can use to help any nnnnh injuries you missed," he says opening the shuttle and walking inside it followed by the Justicar who also carries in his armor. Once inside he sits down and the scanner deploys checking over his body and once it finds nothing new he turns and faces Niniah, "So why are you here Justicar if it's not too much to ask." "I am here trying to die in honorable combat in order to redeem myself. I have committed several atrocious acts back home on Thessia and to pay for it became Justicar. I had heard about this place being a haven for mercenaries and was hoping to kill them but then you landed and they attacked you so I waited and watched but decided to intervene when you fought them as hard as you did. I see in you a glimmer of myself," she replies. "Ah do you have a way off this planet?" Izahm asks Niniah shakes her head and says, "I originally had a shuttle but a Thresher Maw destroyed it shortly after I landed. I have been wandering the planet ever since taking out isolated pirate holdouts." "Well I have chartered ship in orbit waiting for me to call so you can come with me for now," Izahm says. Niniah suddenly kneels before Izahm and says head bowed, "I am greatly indebted to you honored warrior and would gladly accept thine help," she then stands up and says, "As you are otherwise incapacitated I shall pilot us to your orbiting ship." Izahm smirks but sends a burst transmission to the charter ship letting them know he's on his way up. "I am sure you will be repaying that debt in time Niniah," he says quietly leaning back in the padded medical chair and falling asleep to the sounds of the shuttle and Niniah humming some sort of melody.
