#1 of Galaxy On Fire

I appreciate all constructive feedback and welcome suggestions.

This is a series I thought about writing as I play and played the multiplayer mode in Mass Effect 3.


"Haha! Those Cerberus fucks!" Korr shouted after he fired his shotgun. The Claymore shot accurate at longer distances than most shotguns and only a Krogan could fire it accurately past medium range, and without giving himself a broken nose from the recoil.

Supporting him was Flarn, a Batarian Slasher, also armed with a shotgun in the Katana model and an Avenger assault rifle. His Lash power yanked the Cerberus forces the two were gunning down out of cover and sent them through the air like target disks. Korr even started to shout, "Pull!", then Flarn would yank a target out. Cade looked over to see if Korr could nail them mid-air. He did. It was an activity the two almost savage males preferred with human targets instead of clay frisbees they told Cade the human member of the group.

Cade was an Engineer. He specialized in defense for the group and used his turret, drone, and mines to secure their perimeter and keep an eye on their flank. His weapons were the heavy pistol and he carried a spare pistol and basic pairs of the other weapon categories to rearm his teammates basedon the situation. The sound of Korrs Claymore ejecting its thermal clip and venting heat made Cade brace himself. He caught the heavy firearm with both arms like he would a football.

"Reload it for me would ya?" Korr asked switching to his Avenger to continue firing. Cade took care of reloading during these kinds of missions, defending an alliance power plant for a human colony, and preferred a supportive role during combat. Korr and Flarn were having fun until the Cerberus soldiers finally began their retreat.

"Well shit," Flarn said emptying the rest of his assault rifles clip before he stood and watched the small shuttles fly away. He continued, "Can't finish what they started."

Cade carried the Claymore back over to Korr who picked it up with ease.

"Thanks kid," Korr said. While Korr had more than 800 years on the human, Cade was over 20. Soon he'd be 21.

This was a small colony being established in a system where some Cerberus activity was detected. It was inconclusive and too little to move on to send a full Alliance detachment to a planet in the sticks of the galaxy. A job commission was posted at the Citadel. While there were already established mercenary groups in Omega system the Alliance didn't trust them not to double cross for higher pay. Cade responded to the notice and because of his past in the Alliance and his groups reputation of loyalty they were given the commission. Depending on what the job was either Cade, Korr, or Flarn picked up the job. Species and appearance mattered a lot in their line of work. The other two were more intimidating, but when working with the Alliance Cade always negotiated their work.

Transport shuttles arrived bearing the crest of the Alliance.

"Those pussies didn't even need to come, wouldn't have gotten here before we finished anyway," Flarn said.

"Ha," Korr said, "Maybe we can get a bigger bonus if we tell em' to shove off and let us secure the plant while they build it." Cade didn't say anything about his comrades slurs of the Alliance forces. They did take too long to respond to the alert.

" What happened here?" The commander of Alliance security of the plant asked. Before Korr or Flarn gave colorful answers Cade spoke up.

"Sir, Cerberus forces assaulted the rear of the plant using small craft to approach undetected. They landed on an open supply dock."

The colony was on a planet covered with islands. The plant was being built on one called Paradise Falls at the base of cliffs and used water from the ocean, solar power, and wind to supplement the energy made by a mass effect reactor. It was a very clean and efficient plant that would make it viable to colonize far into the fringe of the current systems. That was also why any Cerberus presence was disconcern

"Soldier why didn't you wait for reinforcements before engaging the enemy?" The human commander turned his attention to Cade.

"If we had waited for your asses we'd have lost the docks and storage before you'd even put on all your shiny medals," Korr said and got nasty looks from the Alliance security.

"Soldier," the commander started again , "are you deaf?"

Korr growled and Flarn glared at the commander, head tilted to the right, since the commander ignored the pair of non-humans. Cade agreed with his Krogan partner, but understood the Commander had some pull on their paycheck.

"Sir, after we sent the alert out to the plant security the Cerberus soldiers were already landed and moving to the unsecured and open dock doors. To prevent them from entering the plant we engaged the hostiles and I set up a perimeter at the doors."

"We drove them off before-" Flarn got cut off.

"Alright Soldier," the commander started, "pack up your gadgets and report to your quarters. I'll have to make a report to the Alliance about your hasty actions."

Cade didn't response and simply deconstructed his drone, turret, and disarmed his mines. Despite doing a good job holding off Cerberus with no casualty and being respectful to the head of security, the pompous commander still gave poor evaluations of the mercenary team to the Alliance. A clue to why Cade was not part of the Alliance anymore- he almost shot the commander in the dick.

Walking past the Alliance security Korr made no effort to get out of the way and bumped many of the human soldiers down. He snorted and made a short lunge at one that glared at him making the Alliance soldier fall back. Flarn gave the commander the finger. It was the only thing about human culture he liked.

Inside the plant the trio headed to the cafeteria. They ate when it wasn't the security lunch hour. Despite the commander being a prick some of the stationed Alliance soldiers, workers, and plant managers liked the mercenaries. Mostly cause Flarn and Korr enjoyed drinking games and Cade was interested in the mechanical aspects of the plant. Cade even buddied up with the plants construction manager and the two tinkered around with the design of Cades turret. Korr munched down on some kind of meat and Flarn ate generic hypoallergenic gruel. Cade was ate a salad since he didn't participate in combat like the other two he got soft. Since he left the alliance he hadn't kept up his physical training.

"Hey Korr," one of the workers friendly with the Krogan called from across the cafeteria, "we got some Ryncol."

"Ah hell yea," Korr jumped up almost flipping the tablet, "See you guys later on duty."

With that Korr joined up with the group of half a dozen humans or so for free liquor. Flarn would join them once he finished his food. Despite the gruel having an okay taste the texture made it hard to eat. Cade finished his salad and on the way to the provided room for him picked up a carrot stick to chew on. The mercenary trio was assigned two rooms, one for Cade and the other for Flarn and Korr. Cade was obviously given preferential treatment for being Ex-Alliance and human. However, Korr was a big guy so Cade roomed with Flarn. Korr said thanks and promised Cade to treat him to his first drink when the human turned 21. The rooms were basic, but had great views of the water. The one Cade shared with Flarn had an airtight window that was partially submerged in the ocean water.

Cade didn't turn on the light and only had some sunlight come in from the window. The caustics chaotically rolling on the walls and floors in the dim room made a really relaxing atmosphere. Lying on his bed Cade chewed on the carrot and stripped his armor. He kept on only his boxer briefs and tight tee shirt. The room was cool and was much more comfortable than the weather outside. The mercenaries supplemented the security patrols in the morning and evening so Cade had a while to rest before he had to get up. After he finished his snack the human dozed off on top of his covers.

Finally Flarn could go drink after choking down the gruel. The Batarian didn't have a particular craving for the food, but once he started eating it he didn't want to throw it out. He, like Korr, got along with some of the workers namely the cooks. He belched and drank some water to help get rid of the taste. Getting up he saw Cades helmet. The human forgot it right on the table. He picked it up and day went back to their room. The door slid open with an almost inaudible whoosh and the sight of the human dozing away made Flarn tread lightly. He put Cades helmet with the rest of his armor neatly piled on the floor next to the humans bed.

The light travelling through the water and window made the napping young human look peaceful and delicate. The door closed with the same whoosh before Flarn could exit. Cades legs were smooth, the human shaved, which Korr and Flarn had no comment on. Neither grew body hair and didn't think it was odd Cade wanted to get rid of his. Flarn realized he was staring at his cohorts body for a while so he turned and left to find wherever Korr went off to and to mooch some liquor.

It was only hours later when Flarn came back. He made the mistake of downing some Ryncol. He had learned to like it and did like it, but it hit his gut hard much like the idiom. The gruel helped greatly in settling his stomach. Nevertheless, Flarn had to take a break much like Cade chose to. The dim room was as serene was Flarn left it. He pulled off his armor and stood naked with his back to Cade. Flarn could still smell the alcohol on his breath. He went over to Cade and sat down on the bed. He leaned over, Cade began to stirr, and kissed the human. Cade froze and partly opened his sleep laden eyes. When Cade kissed Flarn back the Batarian got on all fours and pulled the humans underwear down.

Flarn pushed his erection up against Cades hole and drove most of it in. Grunting through his teeth Flarn pulled back and pushed in again. Cade was completely awake now and crossed his legs around Flarns back.

The Batarian mercenary never fucked another male before and the thought made any erections he had wilt. Right now Flarn was humping a human male, with whom the Batarian had gotten to like over a long time, and the experience of it didn't turn him off. Even watching Cades hard cock slap between their two bellies wasn't making Flarns dick soft. It didn't really turn Flarn on though.

Cades shirt bunched up stopped only by the sleeves. Flarn bit down on the humans nipples and made the young engineer whine. Sitting back on his feet Flarn raised Cades knees up and watched his cock sink into the humans rear end over and over. Cade squeezed Flarns cock and made the Batarian cum. With his member buried to the base Flarn sat still and panted heavily. Despite not knowing what took over him and made him jump Cade like that Flarn felt so satisfied.

Still squeezing onto the Batarian Cade had not cummed yet. The human was close apparent because of the sheen of slick precum on his pale belly.

"You two should make sure to lock the door," Korr said. In the midst of their romp Cade nor Flarn noticed the Krogan coming in. Flarn felt a bit of embarrassment, but it vanished when he saw Korrs enormous member jutting out from between the Krogans strong thighs. The Batarian rolled over and gave Korr access to Cades now lubricated and abused hole.

Closer Flarn saw the Krogans armor had a separable cod piece. It was a novelty. Korr pulled Cade around and put the human on the bed width wise. Cades head was on top of Flarns belly. Holding his knees up and spreading them Korr paused to ask the engineer,

"May I?"

The gentlemanly appeal made Cade chuckle and Flarn laugh. Korr snorted,

"Fuck both of you."

In the brief time Cade had to examine Korrs he had seen the Krogan had a scrotum filled with four large balls, Korrs dick was ridged and had lots of texture. He felt more than his eyes saw- the pointed tip, the abrupt widening, the first ridge was lined with barbs, ridges with bumps along the sides. The underside of Korrs cock was barbed almost the entire length. Groaning Cades arms searched for something to hold onto. Flarn held both the humans forearms down. Struggling against the Batarians hold made the entry more bearable. Korrs size was impressive.

Just like Flarn, Korr could not bury his member fully at first. Each slow grind and the Krogans immense strength was pressing more length in. Korr knew from plenty of previous experience with more fragile partners that he needed to work himself in slow. Scarcely halfway in and Cades body was cinching his cock. He only got that far because Flarn opened Cade up in the first place. Korr settled for that.

With cum for lube and much more strength Korr had no difficulty humping Cade. First it was a steady pace to get Cade to relax. He gradually sped up and Cade came with a moan and sigh. The event along with the assorted spasms on his cock surprised and aroused the Krogan more.

Korr didn't want to impose on Cades battered rear any longer now that the human came so he rammed his fat coarse dick in a hurried tempo drawing out whimpers from Cade and chortles of amusement from Flarn. When Cades sphincter muscles unwound exhausted from two consistent poundings Korr slammed his entire length into the engineer by accident. Flarn stifled the loud cry from their human companion leaving Cade with one hand free to grasp onto the Batarians forearm and clutch.

The Krogan halted briefly to size up Cades condition. When Korr saw no sizes to stop he withdrew to the tip of his cock and shoved it back in, his large hips crashing into Cades buttocks. Grunting and huffing the Krogan spilled his seed. Four virile testes spewed a copious consignment of infertile cum. Korrs ridged texture kept the humans tunnel plugged up. Flarn uncovered Cades mouth when the human calmed down.

"I feel like a jelly doughnut," the young engineer spoke softly.

"Oooh, does that taste good?" Korr asked smirking.

"Ahh, yea, but ow," Cade squeaked out as his Krogan ally withdrew the fat cock from his body.

"Lets have a look-see," Flarn said when he turned Cade over.

"Sheesh, I feel kind of bad now..." Korr said.

"What?" Cade whimpered.

Flarn got off the bed and stood by Korr. The two looked at their handy work with a little regret, but abundant pride.

"You're not gonna be able to sit for days I bet," Korr said.

"Your cheeks are bruised. I think you humans say black and blue, at least for a couple weeks," Flarn slapped Korrs shoulder as he said this.

Cade felt a persistent ache on his buttocks and inside him. He knew it would hurt a lot later.

"Bah, if we didn't need to be in tip-top shade later I say we shouldn't waste a medi-gel," Korr, since he still had most of his armor on, crouched behind Cade and conjured his omni-tool. It dispensed a golden cool gel onto Cades bare cheeks. Using thick gloved fingers Korr smeared it inside Cade while Flarn massaged the humans cheeks with the gunk. The young engineer groaned and felt the ache intensify to intolerable for a second before it disappeared.

Despite Korr working the medi-gel in with his long fingers the depths where the Krogans dick pummeled weren't mended. Pulling his fingers out Korr saw traces of blood on them. He licked them clean and gave Cades now undamaged butt a spank and laughed.

"Fuck this is the best outfit I ever worked in," Korr said.

"Yea," Flarn threw in, "Can't believe I'd ever believe this, but I like a human."

Cade murmured and pulled himself back into a seat on his bed. Flarn sat at the edge of it and Korr was standing. The Krogan gripped and wagged his member side to side.

"You wanna give me a spit-shine, buddy?" Korr asked Flarn.

"Shove off," Flarn said, then after a pause he moved over to sit in front of Korr and did it. He licked Korrs cock making sure to be careful on the barbs and sucked on the plump head until the Krogans dick was more or less clean of Cades fluids and cum. Flarn wiped his mouth.

"Ah yea...can't wait to feel what it's like in Cades mouth. You know..." Korr seemed suddenly, uncharacteristically bashful, "You twos dicks ain't bad. If either of you ever wanna try my ass..."

Cade looked up at Korr with surprised and smiled. Flarn chortled.

"Faggot," Flarn said.

"Fuck you," Korr said back.

Cade simply pressed his forehead against Flarns lower back and buttocks. He felt exhausted, but they needed to get ready.

"Guys, lets talk about this later we need to go," Cade said.

Suddenly the two non-human males stood side by side, straight, and saluted the young engineer.

"Yes sir," they both said...

Cade stared.

"What are you idiots-" Cade was interrupted by the whoosh of the door.

All three jumped up and held the door closed, barely. If it were not for Korr the door would have forced itself open.

"What the hell? Get your asses out here you two you're late for patrol!"

Cade, Flarn, and Korr looked confused. Cade asked, "What do you mean we're late? It's not for another hour!"

"Well it got changed, Commanders orders, so get your lazy asses up!"

The person, most likely a soldier, left. Korr snarled and Flarn cracked his neck towards the right.

"Asshole," Korr said.

"The commander or that guy?" Cade asked, but knew Korr meant both, "Put your crotch cover back on...."

"What?" Korr asked.

"I thought Krogan balls would be internal," Cade said.

"Yea well, some are," Korr said not in a jovial mood anymore.

Flarn got into the shower first. If they weren't pressed for time Cade would have suggested a group shower for team building, but as soon as Flarn was out Cade was in and showered quickly. Korr had wiped down his cock and balls with a warm towel and had his cod-piece back in place. Flarn was pulling his armor suit up. The armor was put together somewhat like a jumpsuit so Flarn had his torso exposed while he was pulling up the leggings to fit better. Cade would ask the Batarian to walk around their ship like that. Flarn put on his boots first before pulling up the torso piece.

Cade hurried to put on his armor which was more traditionally sectioned. He picked up his helmet and smiled, "Thanks Flarn."

Flarn simply grunted.

Heading out Flarn and Cade went on ahead since Korr went back to his room to retrieve his Claymore. On the way Cade was beckoned by an engineer of the plant, the engineers name was Paul, and not really respectful of the commander out of sight Cade took the time to listen to what Paul had to say. Flarn waited for Cade outside Pauls workspace.

"Heya kid," Paul said since Cade was much younger than him.

"Hi Paul," Cade replied.

"I got something for you a prototype and the schematics for a supply pylon."

"These are from the Alliance military," There was an N7 mono gram on the design documents, "I don't think it's alright for me to have this. You either ,you're a plant engineer."

"Well I worry about you out there getting into firefights. You know I looked into your history. You could get back into the Alliance and not risk your life for money and,-"

"No."

"You could put your mind to work doing something more productive than being a soldier."

"....Paul thanks, but I have my reasons for leaving and it's not like I can just rejoin."

"Right.,, Take the pylon anyway you might find it useful. Don't worry I requested it for the security of the plant and since you and your pals were hired for security technically it's fine for you to use the pylon."

"Yea, but...I guess I'll accept it before I convince you otherwise. Thanks."

"Take care of yourself kid."

Cade took a couple minutes to connect the pylon to his omni-tool and analyze it. There was security that prevented his omni-tool from scanning the pylon, but before Paul could tell Cade the password the young engineer already hacked through it. Cade could utilize the pylon. Korr caught up to Flarn and Cade.

"Thanks Paul, I promise I won't tell anyone if this becomes a problem."

On their way to the definite chewing out Cade reminded Flarn and Korr that their pay generally depended on the commanders evaluation. That was enough to keep the alien duo from striking the inane human commander in the face when he inevitably gave the mercenaries shit.

"That stupid shit," Korr started once the commander left and the mercenary trio began their extensive beat of the plant, "I fought through wars longer than his lifetime even before his grandfathers grandmother got fucked full of the seed that spawned him. That little patronizing- "

"Wow that was..." Cade was at a loss for words.

"Ha Krogan are as dirty minded as they are angry," Flarn said.

"Damn right." Memories of their recent roll in the hay with Cade made the Krogan feel better, "Not that I mind the walking and all, but damn, if we just sat in a room watching monitors like that asshole we could be screwing too."

"The commander doesn't think we earn our pay unless we do patrols and you are intimidating Korr so it makes the plant look harder to assault," Cade said. In normal circumstances a patrol was almost pointless since there was only the dock that was vulnerable.

"Intimidating....was that the reason you didn't say no when I fucked ya?" Korr hoped he hadn't inadvertently raped someone he did respect...

"What? No, I mean, I liked it...." Cade felt silly when his voice trailed off like he was embarassed.

"Haha, really? How much?" Korr growled sultrily.

"You faggots," Flarn scoffed.

"Hmmph says you dick licker," Korr winked at the Batarian.

The two veterans of battle continued on with their immature banter while Cade checked his omni-tool. He set up a short radar system that wasn't much more warning than the power plants radar, but it did give at least thirty more seconds to react to any attack. That was why the trio was able to set up a perimeter way before the plant security was ready to fend off an enemy raid.

Cade didn't tell the commander of this independent radar system since he would take it as a personal insult, as he did everything. Cade was similar to the commander in that aspect. Korr often said the young engineer was a tad bit sensitive and took things too personally, but Cade was growing out of it. The commander had decades to do the same and was supposedly a level-headed leader.

"....ass again. Hey, Cade, you listening?" Korr bumped the human almost toppling him.

"Oh yea, just, checking the perimeter..." Cade said.

"We were saying if you stayed in your Alliances military you could be an actually useful commander instead of that twat we got here," Flarn informed Cade.

"Oh, thanks. Well he has lots more of battle experience than me so he isn't...completely useless..." Cade said his own conviction fading.

"Ha, not against me or Flarn and you're catching up. With the kind of basterds we're combating nowadays that antique wouldn't know where to start. You adapt so quickly I'm impressed," Korr praised.

"Thanks," Cade said not knowing how to respond to the compliment.

"Yea, I guess having a short life span makes you guys innovative," Korr said.

"Yea...mmmm...are you guys saying that because you two fucked me?" Cade asked.

"Haha no, you'd need plenty more than just a nice ass to get me to say something like that..." Korr said.

"Thanks a lot," Cade replied and Korr was silent for a moment smiling.

"You two really are faggots," Flarn said again.

"Suck my dick again four-eyes," Korr said earning a punch to the shoulder, though Cade wondered who felt it more.

Cades Omni-tool started to beep. It was the dock again, left open again, and being approached by Cerberus again. For the first time in a while Cade thought his tool was off.

"Hey you two-" Cade started and felt his stomach drop when he realized his tool was not wrong, "...we need to get back to the dock from earlier."

Flarn and Korr needed no explanation they simply started hoofing it to cut off their enemies. Cade got busy planning the defense perimeter of mines and turret, the pylon too now, programming his drone to guard the flank and sent off an alert to the plants security. There was no nonchalant chatter like in the morning. The sight of a couple dozen Cerberus transport shuttles and mech drops was already visible and they were landing.

Again, for the first time in a long time Cade joined the line with Korr and Flarn and opened up the fight with a shot from a sniper rifle blowing away the barriers of a Phantom, then taking off its head with a second shot. There was more than one Phantom sprinting towards their position.
