"So what do you think of the show?" The limbo asked doing a twirl to face her. But Bloom didn't response merely stood there with her head hung low. "Um, Chroma? Bloom?" he asked, and Bloom lifted her head to show dim eyes.

"Ya Bloom fainted from terror about two minutes ago, and If you'll excuse me, I'd like to join her." Chroma said politely on Limbo's H.U.D before falling over like a goat, legs straight out. Limbo put his hand on his chin and nodded.

"That's fair. We may have overplayed it a teeny bit." He made a tiny bit of space between his fingers then scratched the top of his head under his hat. He checked his wrist like he had a watch and tapped his foot waiting for them to revive or whatever they were doing. Nothing happened, so he shrugged and picked the Pony and Frame off the floor and carried her backstage.

When Bloom came later, She woke up screaming about sharp things until she noticed she wasn't onstage anymore or stuck in stasis. She took in the room around her. Which was filled with warframes and Trixie?

"I think it's awake." The all red and Silver frame in a hood and what looked like a gas mask for a face said in a disapproving tone. Limbo smacked him with a rolled-up newspaper.

"She is not an "it," and She is a guest Harrow. He scolded, and Harrow growled irritated.

"And she's a cute guest!" The Female Frame sitting on the edge of the card table with a harlequin-like mask with curved horns said with a bubbly voice rivaling pinkie. She was a dark pink with deep purple tones mixed in. The Inaros from Sugarcube corner was sitting in a chair next to her munching on what looked like chips he waved.

"Octy! The Chroma's awake." Limbo called, and a bright blue hat with plume made of long feather-like strips pocked her head from out behind a curtain, and she joined the others, excitedly dancing to a tune no one but her could hear. The Limbo looked around "Who we missing?"

A green and grey frame poofed into view sitting on a barrel his helmet looked like a hammerhead shark. "Titania is off fluttering about, and Banshee said something about a concert." He responded in a very Manhatten accent, and Limbo nodded.

"Thanks, Loki, Well most the gangs here. So most the introductions are due. I am Limbo master of the void. The lovely ball of mischief is Mirage. I do believe you've met Inaros are ravenous royal. The man dressed as a preacher in a gas mask is are local edge load Harrow." Harrow glared at Limbo.

"The lively one in blue is our girl with the tunes Octavia."

"Hows it going?" Octavia asked, and Bloom smiled.

"Been teleported, put in stasis, had sharp things thrown at me then was kidnapped by a group of strange Warframe." Bloom recapped, and Octy nodded

"Right, right that's kind of how I met these guys too." She laughed

Limbo pointed to Loki "You can play the teleporting on this trickster, they all helped me put together the show you saw. So I have just one question. Did you like the show?" He asked palms out, and everyone minus Harrow and Inaros seemed genuinely invested in her answer.

"It was really cool and well done. Until the sharp things in my face part." Bloom admitted, and Everyone cheered minus Edgelord of course who seemed content on glaring at Bloom. Limbo folded his arms.

"I had everything planned down to the last decimal there was no reason to worry." He explained, and Bloom's eye twitched.

"I didn't know that I've never encountered any of you Frames before." Bloom defended, and Limbo nodded understanding. Bloom caught Harrow's glared and raised an eyebrow. "Something wrong?" she tried to ask politely. He didn't answer merely looked at Limbo,

"I'm not going to bother with pleasantries, Especially with this thing." Everyone turned to look at the Harrow with shock and Bloom liked like someone had kicked her.

"Dude, what the fuck is your problem?" Loki asked, and Harrow looked ready to give a sermon.

"My problem is this thing is an abomin-" Harrow disappeared with a snap of Limbo's fingers. He looked at Bloom.

"I am so sorry. He's always been dramatic but never, NEVER like this before." He declared sounding furious at his fellow Tenno's actions. Bloom tried to blink away the sheer hatred that had just been thrown her way out of nowhere. Suddenly Bloom was swept up in Mirage's arms in a hug. The ornate frame nuzzled Bloom like she was some sort of plush toy. With a flash of colorful lights, three more Mirage appeared surrounding Bloom in nuzzles.

"Don't listen to that meany!" She cooed baby talk, and Bloom felt sick. They saw her as nothing but a cute pony. Bloom's lights flared, and Mirage and her clones yelped dropping the pony. The air steamed around the angry pony frame as she stormed off without a word. Mirage rubbed the burn on her cheek, and Limbo shook his head thoughtfully.

"Was it something I said?" She asked, and Limbo sighed.

"Calm down Bloom." Chroma urged at the burning filly. But she ignored him with a snort. "I don't think she meant to look down on us."

"Well, she did!" Bloom snapped with a flick of fire. "Ch! Abomination..." Bloom clicked her tongue angrily.

"Bloom." Chroma tried to soothe her anger.

"No just let me be mad for a bit! I'm tired of everyone judging me as some cutesy worthless pony. Hybrid, Abomination, Blank Flank!" She spat the names and Chroma didn't really understand the last one, but it upset Bloom all the same. The pony sat on her haunches "Mud-Pony." She said the last one with actual pain in her heart.

Chroma remembered that one from their talk with the lotus. It felt like a slur of some kind. Bloom picked up on his confusion and sighed. "Its a term for earth ponies used by the other tribes because we don't have horns or wings. Sis told me it's really offensive."

"And Blank Flank?" Chroma asked, and Bloom lifted his pelt off her haunches to show the blank side.

"It's an annoying term for ponies who don't have a cutie mark. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon call me and my friends that all the time to make fun of us. I guess we've spent so much learning about the Tenno and your world we never covered my side. A Cutie Mark shows up when a pony discovers there unique talent. It's pretty much like destiny showing you what your gonna do for the rest of your life." She explained.

"Sounds constricting, being stuck to one talent forever." The more Chroma thought about it, the bleaker it sounded.

"Well you don't have to do it forever, but you're super good at it, and usually It's something you enjoy. Like Rarity her talent is gem finding, but she makes dresses for a living. She uses that talent to make her dresses the best." Bloom tried to explain better, and Chroma nodded.

"I think I understand now." He said, but Bloom hung her head.

"But now I don't even know if I'll ever get my mark. It's a scary thought really." She admitted.

"Mark or no mark you have all your friends pony and Tenno, And you have me," He reassured, and Bloom smiled.

"Thank you, I think I better go back and Apologize for storming off." She turned around to see red mist had surrounded her blocking her view of the area around her ominously. "Um, Chroma what's going on?"

"Keep your guard up, I'm not sure." They scanned the area together.

The sound of a chain rattling as it was swung back and forth filled the air, Along with a metallic tapping, three slow raps repeated over and over. The smell of firey incense washed over her and the Red Viel of mist parted reveling Harrow. He smacked the end of his staff on the floor creating the hunting raps. His swinging thurible spewed the red smoke and smell.

"FEAR NOT THE VOID ABOMINATION." He preached loudly, and Bloom turned to narrow her eyes at him.

"What are you doing?" she asked and he threw out his hands. Twisted and rusty chains sprouted from the ground ensnaring Bloom as she tried to jump away. Now stuck in Mid-air struggling to escape as Harrow approached her slowly.

"FOR I WILL SEND YOU TO IT'S OPEN ARMS!" His thurible disappeared, and he pulled a pistol from behind his back. Bloom's eyes filled with dread as he leveled it with her head.

"Why are you doing all this? I'm a Warframe to!" She shouted, and he sneered at her.

"Because you are a twisted corruption of the Tenno! A thing that should never have been allowed to draw breath!" He shot her dropping half her shields "Corruption the Red Veil have the dedication to burn away, and cleanse the system of!" He shot her again, and her shields dropped. His chains started to loosen as the ability timed out and Bloom let lose a spectral scream in his sadistic face. Giving her the chance to sprint away.

The staff hit the earth mere inches from her snout. It flashed, and her brain felt fuzzy. He shot her in the head again sending her tumbling with a cry. She was bleeding badly as the Slash proc hit her. "Bloom move!" Chroma warned, and she jumped right as he shot again. But the Bullet changed path and struck her under the jaw sending her on her back.

She couldn't stop the panicked tears as her health ticked down to twenty before the Proc ended. Harrows chained wrapped around her again. She couldn't even struggle anymore as the sadistic frame approached her.

"Ashes to Ashes." He sang out merely pulling a dagger. He raised it high. "Dust to DUST!"

Bloom cried out one last time before the dagger plunged through Chroma into her Skull. Her eyes dimmed as blood spilled down her forehead.
