6:49 PM, Citadel, Nihlus's Apartment

Nyx and Nihlus were currently talking about Nyx's childhood, as well as the many adventures Nyx's mother and her friend's adventures. That seems to have been what they seemed to talk about for the past half hour.

"Oh," Nyx exclaimed as she gulped down another glass of magic produced cider, "I should tell you the time Twilight tried to find out what Pinkie's Pinkie Sense was?" Nihlus gave a good chuckle at that. He had changed to his normal attire, consisting of a dark brown color, with a few red lines in places.

"Given what you told me about Pinkie, I imagine it didn't go very well."

"Well duh, but you shoulda seen how angry she was. It'd make a Krogan quiver in fear."

"Given how calm and calculating your mother is, I highly doubt that."

"OHOH, you haven't done anything to truly enrage Twilight. When she get's made, you either start running, hope you're on her side, or better say you're sorry." Nyx's then realized Nihlus had a red tattoo on the right side of his head.

"Well, shouldn't we try to change the subject."

"Okay, how about when you got that tattoo?" Nihlus was confused. What did she say?

"What are you talking about?"

"The tattoo on the side of your head?" Nyx replied, pointing her hoof at the side of her head to emphasize.

"I never had a tattoo in my~~" Nihlus then saw a red dot appear on the left side of Nyx's head. Assassins! "GET DOWN!!!" Nihlus screamed as he grabbed Nyx, and jumbed over the counter seperating the living room from the kitchen. The instant he grabbed her, dozens of shots began spraying into the room, barely missing them as they took cover.

"Well, looks like I'll be busting out Spartan sooner than I was hoping!" Nyx exclaimed as she conjured up her armor, as well as said weapon.

"Shepard," Nihlus yelled into his comm device, "Whatever you're doing, drop it and get to my apartment. Me and Nyx are pinned down by assassins. Sending coordinates!" Nihlus pressed a button under the kitchen table, and metal cover barriers popped up against the window. Nihlus grabbed his Viper off the shelf, and ran towards a cover on the right side, while Nyx sprinted towards the left side. She found the armor to be slightly heavy, but right now was not the time for complaining. She ducked down, taking a few pot shots at the assailants, which she has yet to get a proper look at.

Using her magic, she scanned through the barricade she had, and saw her assailants. Several armed forces wielding blue armor with a strange symbol. Blue Suns She thought. She saw a gunship appear in front of the apartment, dropping off three turians, two batarians, and five humans. Combine that with the current snipers somewhere across the Presidium, and they are dealing with up to around 17 soldiers.

"Nihlus," Nyx exclaimed, "We can't win this fight without taking out those snipers, but I can get a good angle at them. And the cider I had has dampened my effectiveness at using magic. I won't be able to get a clear shot at them."

"Shepard," Nihlus said into his comm, "Change of plans, we have snipers pinning our position. Sending coordinates momentarily. Once received, take them down!" Nihlus then put a scanner over his left eye. He peaked over to look for where the main snipers were. He saw five red lines coming from another apartment on the other side of the Presidium. The scanner locked on to the location, then sent the location to Shepard. "Got it~AAAGFUCK!" Nihlus was shot in the head by one of the snipers.

"NIHLUS!!!!" Nyx screamed. She switched the grenade launcher to Incendiary, and quickly blasted at the assailants Nihlus then leaned back against the barricade. He had his hand covering his left eye. He took it off, revealing a long streak of blood across the side of his head.

"Bastard skimmed my eye, but otherwise, I'm fine." Nyx and Nihlus could see several gunshots appearing from where the snipers were at. It seems, not only did Shepard find the snipers, but he got more soldiers than the two human.

"It'll take alot more than a shot to the head to take you down Nih~" Nyx saw the gunship move into position in front of the apartment. "NIHLUS, LOOK OUT!!!" Nihlus looked up, just as the gunship fired a volley of missiles, blasting Nihlus to the opposite of the room, and severely loosening one of the barricades. The ship fired another volley, sending the cover straight at Nihlus. All Nyx could hear past the smoke was Nihlus make a long scream of pain.

When the smoke cleared, Nyx saw Nihlus... with his right arm not attached to his body, as well as the metal cover stuck in the wall between Nihlus and his missing arm. She couldn't believe it. The first friend Nyx made in this strange, dangerous realm, could possibly die. She began to fill with rage, and her hair began to seem to be in an updraft.

Then the gunship got hit by a massive green blast. Nyx instantly calmed down, and saw that there was a person at the center of the blast, on top of the gunship. The same color from the blast was also on her right hand and saw that the chest area was several shades of green, with the arms and legs being black. The person turned around, and Nyx's eyes widened. The person was wearing a hood, but had a helm with a green glass covering the face. A Quarian Nyx thought. Based on the physic, Nyx guessed it was a female. The back of the quarian had four small compartments along the shoulder blades. She jumped back as the gunship fell, killing half the mercs, and the compartments spewed fire out, slowing her descent. She landed in the apartment, taking cover behind next of the window.

"Looks like you could use some help." The quarian exclaimed, pulling out a Mattock AR.

"And you are!" Nyx replied. She would appreciate the help, and she can't worry about strangers.

"Sisor'Manis vas Likor."

"Okay, now lets buck these idiots!"

"Keelah se'lai!" Nyx didn't know what that meant, but she felt it was important. Nyx and Sisor charged out, firing at them last of the mercs. Nyx pulled out her red sword, and slashed at the chest of a batarian, killing him. Sisor right hand had an Omni-tool, but it cover her fist. She punched at two Blue Suns, knocking one unconscious, and sending the other one flying off the apartment balcony. Nyx fired Spartan at the last two, killing one with a head shot, and the last one with multiple chest shots.

"Nice job." Sisor said to Nyx as she put her Mattock away. Nyx smiled at the quarian. Wait, NIHLUS!!! Nyx ran towards Nihlus's body, which was covered in blood. He was barely awake.

"Nyx, get me to the armory. It has a medical bay. Just tell Jenny, the AI, directive 47. She'll do the rest." Nihlus then passed out.

"HELP ME!!!" Nyx screamed. Nyx could barely use her magic, so Sisor lifted Nihlus up while Nyx ran into the armory. "JENNY!!"

"Yes, Miss Nyx? I see that you have survived the battle."

"I NEED YOU TO DO DIRECTIVE 47!!!"

"Proceeding." A portion of the wall came apart, revealing a medical bay. "Place Master Nihlus here, and I will take care of him."

Sisor then placed Nihlus on the table, and the wall then closed. Nyx backed up, in both panic and rage, hoping that Jenny can help her friend.

Author's Note

I felt that this part had to be done in two parts. One OC done, one to go.

Sisor's voice is similar to Shala'Raan's, and her suit design (not the colors) is like Xen.
