The Frost –A large black and copper coloured, bio mechanical humanoid warframe ran steadily down the old Grineer ships corridor. He had obtained the intel they had set out to acquire but was being chased by a large group of Grineer; an race and army of various clones made purely for war. A few basic troops appeared up ahead and Frost drew his Telos boltor, A large heavy rifle capable of nailing enemies to walls and fired off shots into the group ahead causing a few to go flying back as the bolts tore through their armour and flesh, the other few dived out of the way as Frost rushed passed; ignoring them completely. As Frost ran he felt a large blast square in the back from a large angry bombard, the gauge in the right of his vision showed that his shields had taken a large hit but had held well. He spun around on the spot and pounded the ground with his left fist causing a large wave of icey shards to sprout fourth from the ground; stabbing into the oncoming Grineer, causing massive damage to their shields and armour and slowing them down with its freezing effect. Satisfied it would take them a while to recover from the slowing cold he turned back and bullet jumped down the corridor at break neck speed.
“Come on! It’s not much further, we got this!” Exclaimed a young red-headed girl that appeared on the side of his visual screen. It was Kallis; his operator. His Tenno. She was sitting on the transference chair back in their space ship. Kallis was essentially the one who controlled Frost and gave him void power. Without her he was barely even able to function or think and if he spent long periods of time away from his operator his very being would start to fall apart sending him into an uncontrolled madness to a point where we would be no better than the mindless infested.
As they; working as one continued to jump and run along the corridors and vast rooms, they took a sharp left then a right gunning down six or seven Grineer as they dashed past ignoring their cries of pain and anger. The exit point was now in site, the Tenno landing craft; a listet was docked in the bay ready thanks to Ordis; the ships Cephalon who was a rather quirky AI.
“Operator Please hurry their ships main weapons are powering up.” Ordis cried his voice cracking a little.
“I know! It’s ok where here!” responded Kallis.
Frost had reached the liset, he spun around and placed himself in the humanoid shape space set in the ships door which swiftly turned inwards safely securing the warframe as the liset sped away from the docking area at speed.
Kallis sighed and relaxed in her chair, She disconnected her transference with Frost thinking he was now safe and the liset was soon to return to the main ship; the Orbiter which was hidden in the void, a dimension beyond the normal realms where the Tenno got their powers from and only Tenno where able to travel in and out of the void least without serious protection.
“Operator! We have a problem!” Ordis’s voice almost made her jump, she was worn out from the long day of fighting. “The Grineer ship managed to get in a lucky shot and hit the listet as we were getting away *ThOsE BaStArDs*” Ordis said the last words in a glitchy deeper voice, he had a habit of accidently saying what he really felt without meaning to, having spent 1000 years alone with nothing but himself and his slowly removing memories of his mercenary past made him slightly insane.
“Damage report!” Demanded Kallis
“The liset’s main engine was hit hard and I can’t get any response from the breaks, at this rate the Liset is going to crash strait into the Orbiter!”
“Can you not change the course?” She asked panicked.
“Negative, Ordis cannot get the navigation systems back online in time! Prepare yourself Operator the Liset is coming in hard from the west, In t minus 10 seconds ”
“Ensure Frost remains safe by any means Ordis!” She barked, leaning back in her operator’s chair and closing its front shutters securing her safely in place.
“*WhO CaReS?!* --I will try my best Operator!” Replied Ordis his voice glitching once again.
BOOM! With a mighty crack the Liset crashed into the side of the Orbiter, the larger ship jittered and careened to the side, as the smaller ship broke through the Hull tearing through various compartments and equipment. It skittered to a halt in one of the larger rooms, its font badly damaged and its rear end on fire. Ordis automatically popped the glass front, so a dishevelled looking Frost could flip up and out of the front window but as he did he was thrown a good ten feet forward into a wall, as the Lisets engines finally blew-up causing a large ball of fire and energy to consume the area.
As he struggled to his feet Frost felt a familiar presence as his Operator connected and transferred herself though him.
“You’re ok, thank goodness! Now on your feet warframe we’ve gotta move it and get you out of here!” Kallis said to him as she forced him up and moving towards the nearest exit.
“Operator soon as you are clear, Ordis can seal the area and vent the rooms stopping further fire damage.” Chimed in Ordis.
Kallis mealy nodded as she sped Frost though the door which automatically closed behind them. She then directed him up to the front of the ship. This wasn’t a part of the obiter she was familiar with as a lot of it was often left unused but she could figure it out easy enough. She was just glad it was a section with life support so they didn’t have to worry about that too.
Ordis flashed up a damage report on Frosts visual screen so they could all see.
“The area is now vented and the fires are put out but I am afraid the Obiter itself has drifted and been forced out of the void! There is too much damage for Ordis to safely put us back in, but on the bright side it appears we are not even in our own solar system anymore *NoT GoOd* so the odds of an enemy finding us is slim….”
“ORDIS! We can’t stay here! What are we…” Kallis was interrupted by Ordis.
“I know *I’m WoRkInG* The ships scanners and navigation is still functioning try checking the map Operator, to see if there is a safe place to land!”
Kallis leads Frost to the navigation system where he sits and automatically brings up the display for her. They ponder over it for a moment before Kallis zooms in on the nearest planet.
“The nearest planet seems to be full of life and resources, it’s a lot like old earth actually, this will have to do.” She frowns as she looks closer at the data.
“ The scans are saying the Sun moves around the planet like a moon….that can’t be right…Ordis the scanner must be damaged, either way this planet is out best bet…from there we can figure out how bad the damage is and make repairs. Let’s just hope no one picks us up on their scanners…”
“Setting course now operator, though Orids has to warn you the landing may be a bumpy one.”
“I have faith in you Ordis, I will put Frost away in his pod and prepare for landing…“ She sighs and mumbles something only Frost is really able to hear as they walk towards the pods. “Being out of the void makes me uneasy. I just hope we don’t have to deal with any real lifeforms….”
**************************************
In her castle Princess Twilight Sparkle was looking up at the night sky in her observatory. Spike the dragon, her faithful friend and servant was beside her yawning repeatedly.
“Ahh Twilight can we go to bed yet?” Said Spike. Twilight puts her eye to the telescope.
“In a minute spike, I want to map out this last solar system in this quadrant, Princess Luna is looking forward to hearing about my latest planetary discoveries…I can’t believe that no one has done a detailed star map before, I mean Star Swirl started a map but he never got around to finishing it and…”
“Umm Twilight…?” Spike interrupts her tapping her on the shoulder. His eyes drawn up to the sky but the opposite way Twilight is looking.
“I did say in a minute Spike…I really have to…”
“TWILIGHT!” He shouts at her, she looks down at him confused and sees his eyes wide with fear and wonder. She turns and looks up at whatever he is looking it.
“What in the world…?” She gasps
A great dark mass is steadily falling out of the sky and is heading down to the ground at speed….
“It looks like it’s going to land just the other side of Everfree forest. Spike, write a letter to Princess Celesta, I’m going to wake our friends, looks like we aren’t going to bed after all….”
