*hisss*
Ugh, my head. Why the fuck am I awake?
I forced myself to open my eyes.
Gah,bright, going back to sleep.
*cryopod opens*
I fall down onto the cold, ornate floor.
Ouch. Nice way to wake me up, though.
I struggled to stand up, but I managed to do it. I surveyed my surroundings, but it felt so strange. It felt normal, natural, even. I shook my head and then it hit me.
Who the fuck was I?
Where the fuck was I?
I looked down at myself trying to find some sort of identification, but all I got was a bodysuit with cool lights on them. In the center of my vision, a notification popped up. ' Rebooting Excalibur Warframe Advanced Combat Suit.'
So this weird stuff on me was some sort of combat suit? Cool.
As soon as the systems had loaded up numbers had appeared in the corner of my vision, as well as a minimap at the top left. Suddenly, a small video feed of a woman with a strange hat on appeared.
"Hello Excalibur, do not fear, for I am Lotus. I will be your guide in this world. For now, we must hurry, Captain Vor is coming to execute you. Grab your gear and run."
I looked around and saw a storage locker on the other side of the room. I opened up the locker to find a automatic rifle, a side arm, and a long sword. I looked around for some sort of exit and found one, a water pipe and jumped in. After a little while, I spoke up.
"Lotus, if you really are my guide, then who am I?"
"You are Tenno, warrior monks who fight with blade and gun. You were called upon by the Orokin, Earth's first inhabitants, to combat the beings known as Sentients. Soon, however, you had discovered the intentions of the Orokin, and turned on them. You assassinated their leaders and won the war for the Sentients."
"How did this war start?"
"The Sentients were simply trying to take back their homes, but the Orokin would not allow it. Their advanced technology had given them the advantage, but then you had found the truth. You Tenno withdrew and fought for the Sentients ."
"You say 'Tenno' as if there were more of us, is that correct?"
"Yes, there are more, and three of them are on their way."
"Who is Captain Vor?"
"Someone you'll see soon enough."
I had entered a large room, with a large frame in the center. It was overgrown with plants and was if the place wasn't touched for centuries.
"Oh no, Tenno, he is here."
"what"
I readied my rifle and looked around for any possible entrances.
The frame had boomed to life as raw energy pulsed out of the small holes in the frame. It wove itself into a swirling mass of space itself. After the portal had steadied itself, a squad of men stepped out from it.
"The Grineer are here, Tenno, prepare yourself. The one with the medal embedded in his chest is Captain Vor."
I took a better look at him. It was grotesque. His facial structure was extremely primitive, and had an artificial eye protruding from his face. On top if that, he had a pretty stupid looking headpiece. He looked around until he found me. An evil smile spread on his face. He said something in a foreign language and his men had surrounded me. He zapped me with something from his mechanical arm, causing me to double over in pain, depleting my shields, and nearly killing me in the process. He stepped forward and pulled a pistol from his belt. He took aim. I closed my eyes awaiting the cold grasp of death.
Only it didn't come.
When I looked up the gun was embedded into the floor by an arrow, and Vor looking at something above him. I traced it, and saw three tenno, one woman in blue with large plates for the headpiece and shoulder piece lowering her bow. Next to her, a large man, clad in a white surcoat with blue trims. Next to him, young woman, a little shorter than I was, in green, with a similar suit like mine, and a head piece with a long antennae curving backwards. Vor basically screamed a command and hell broke loose. The tenno had jumped down from their perch and sprang into action. The blue one let loose a sonic shock wave dispersing the squad into isolated islands of confusion. The white one pulled out wicked looking dual axes and got to chopping. The green one fired her dual revolvers around her killing anything that had a pulse. I sat there in awe, completely blown away by the sheer force of three Tenno obliterating a squad of Grineer in mere seconds.
Vor shouted a command and more Grineer came through the portal. The Tenno just kept going until Vor had pulled the medal out of his chest, and started charging it. Fortunately, the man saw this kicked my long sword over to me and I grabbed it, quickly going into a defensive stance and deflected the stream of deadly energy away from me. When the key had been drained, I felt myself raising the sword. It felt natural and like something I had done many times. I plunged the blade deep into the ground, sending forth a burst of energy, summoning a cluster of javelins the size of my leg, hurtling toward the Grineer faster than the eye could see, impaling and killing them into the walls of the now red room. Vor looked at me astonished and mouth agape. His face twisted into a look of pure anger, shouted something at me, and ran back through the portal. The portal had retracted its energies and dissipated.
I looked at the Tenno as to ask 'what do I do now?'
The man made a gesture at me as if to follow him. We came to a room, and in it were four molds for our bodies. He strapped me in and closed the hatch. I could feel the mold I was in start to move, and then take off to god knows where.
-sometime later-
I arrived at what seemed to be a docking station. Lotus awaited me in a long bluish-blackish gown and the same strange hat. I stood there looking around the small docking station. I saw the other Tenno pressing hidden buttons under their helmets making their helmet fold away to show their faces. The man had a rough looking face with white hair, some stubble, and icy blue eyes that could impale you with daggers. The woman in blue had a thinner, but longer face. She had black hair, and black eyes. She took out glasses from a hidden pouch and put them on. The green one folded her helmet away and-
Holy shit. She's fucking gorgeous.
She had light skin, not pale, but not dark either. She had happy, emerald green eyes that could see the good in anybody. Her smile –
Oh God, her smile.
-was of an angel. It seemed completely natural, and not forced. It was a subtle smile, her lips curling up at the edges of her mouth. Her hair was a dark brown, with occasional streaks of gold throughout it. She looked at me and tapped the bottom of her chin. I fumbled around a bit, but I found the button and the helmet folded itself away. The man stepped up with a grin.
"Hey, I'm Frost. Second in command of the defense division."
"Hey."
The blue one stepped up.
"I'm Banshee, colonel of the capture division, and lieutenant of the stealth division."
"Good to see you."
The green one stepped up.
Shit.
"Nyx,co-captain of the Assasination division." she said in her cheery voice.
"H-hi, N-nice to meet you." I tried to smile but made a stupid face.
Shit.
I heard her giggle a bit.
"You're funny." and smiled back.
What. I MADE HER SMILE. I MADE HER GIGGLE. HOLY SHIT.
I fist bumped myself. In my mind.
Frost raised an eyebrow, but didn't seem to mind.
Lotus spoke up again.
"Now that we have introduced ourselves," she turned toward Nyx and I, "I will need someone to take Excalibur to his residence and show him the ropes."
"I'll go." said Nyx.
Fuck yes. Score.
Lotus nodded, and left with the other Tenno.
She took me to my home and we sat down in the kitchen.
She looked at me and said "You should probably take that off." and gestured to my suit.
Whoa.
She had realized what she said and blushed.
"Um, okay? Where would I put it?
"In the basket over there," she pointed at the basket in the bedroom, "the room automatically maintains the suit for you. You can put the under armor in the hamper. That's automatic too."
"Thanks."
"Now, what do you want to know?"
That was quick.
"Who were those guys back there?"
"Those were the Grineer, a sentient species, though not too smart. They had come by advanced cloning technology a few decades ago, and rule over part of the system through sheer numbers and force. The only thing that slows them down is the genetic deterioration that is the result of cloning, and technology is used as a crutch for this."
"Who rules the other part?"
"The Corpus. Though they are more fragile than the Grineer, they have the advantage of more advanced technology, and rule by robotic proxies. Occasionally, the infestation breaks out, and we have to help them."
"What is the infestation?"
"The infestation is a plague, created by the Orokin to combat the Sentients. So far, there isn't a cure other than bullets, so our top medics, Trinity and Oberon, are helping with that."
"I see."
"Well," she sighed, "That's all I have for today, I need to take you to a checkup."
"What's that?"
"They test you and see what you are capable of. The main things they look for are: strength, speed, endurance, utility, and mental capabilities."
"Those are..?"
"Strength is how strong you are. Speed is how agile and fast you are. Endurance is how long you can is how many different skills you have. Mental capabilities are how rational you can be in a firefight. Tenno are usually ranked into three classes, Heavy, medium, and light. Heavy frames like Frost, Rhino, Saryn, and Valkyr usually specialize in Endurance and Strength. Light frames like me usually specialize in speed and utility."
"That's cool."
"Yeah, let's go."
I'm pooped. I'm going to sleep now. Rate and Review!
Currently this is a pilot so if you'd like me to continue the story I will.
