He Who Commands Ice, Snow And Blizzards
Prologue: Your Decisions Make You
Load Full StoryNext ChapterAtop of a large mountain pass, A young man of seventeen walks up the path that leads to a cliff overlooking the valley below. In his hand, the kuva scepter he had taken from the Grineer Queen and dealt with ehr accordingly. He makes it to the peak of the cliff, to see Teshin waiting for him, the one who had helped him defeat the queen, he spoke to the young one.
“You don’t know what to do with it.”
“So tell me.”
“Hm...some believe that the kuva within is the blood of orokin ancestors. An elixir of power...of immortality. Others believe it to be a poison, a corrupting oil that brings madness and evil.”
Keiji looks over to Teshin, gripping the scepter a bit.
“What do you believe…?”
Teshin chuckles lightly.
“I believe them both. But for you, Tenno, perhaps the kuva is just a symbol. That what you will choose to do, will define you more than anything.”
Teshin turns and walks away, giving Keiji his space to think. His ice blue eyes looking out into the distance as he thinks on it.
I should consume it...they took everything I had away from me. The last bit of family I left. And it is because of them that all the rest of the crew turned…
He looks at the vial on the scepter, then grabs it. He nods to himself and places it to his lips, drinking it down quickly. For a moment, nothing happens but soon…
"Hey, kiddo, what took you so long?"
Keiji is then shaken out of the trance by Teshin.
“The world...lays more heavily on you now more than ever. Try not to lose yourself, Tenno.”
--Weeks Later--
Keiji sits in the back of his ship thinking. It had been a few weeks now since he had fully regained memories of his past and suppressed power that dwelled within him. What was to be his next move? Just keep on taking down grineer and corpus enemies until something else comes along? Ordis, the ship’s cephalon speaks out.
“Operator, Is everything alright? You have been rather quiet for sometime now.”
Keiji lifts his head up and nods.
“Yeah...just a few things on my mind is all, Ordis. I just...having these abilities I never knew I had. Especially since now I don’t even need this simatic link machine anymore. I don’t even know why I am still sitting in it…”
“Perhaps out of habit? You did stay in there for the longest time.”
“That is true, but now that I can freely move about, and can become one with my warframe by transference, it just makes me wonder. Am I heading towards something in the future I will need these abilities for?”
He sighs and stands up from the chair of the machine. He makes his way through the door of the room and walks up the left ramp and around to where his warframe, Frost Prime stood still, but almost as if always on watch. Keiji reaches up and places a hand on the warframe's chest, a faint ice blue energy coming from his hands as he did so, the energy lighting up Frost Prime as it becomes alive.
“You and me buddy. Whatever happens, I know I have you to get me out of trouble should it come knocking...and Ordis to.”
“Aaawwww, that warms my circuits, Operator. Ordis never knew you really cared for him!”
“Well, your violent outbursts do tend to make me laugh, especially when you go back to speaking regularly after them.”
Suddenly, the ship shakes and a loud BOOM is heard. Keiji stumbles about, grabbing onto a nearby pipe that held some wiring. He looks out the window to see grineer fighters incoming. The Lotus comes on the coms.
“Tenno, I am ready that you are under attack by the grineer! Are you alright?!”
“Yeah, I am fine! They must want my head for killing off one of their queens! Ordis, evasive maneuvers!”
“At once, Operator!”
The ship began to dodge and weave between the gunfire that was being thrown at it. Keiji jumps from where his was over to frost and uses his transference to become one with the warframe. He soon takes control of Frost and makes his way to the front of the ship. He gets to the console and activates the ship’s defenses. Shooting down any fighters that get in his way.
“Tenno, you need-to--out-”
The signal gets cut off.
“Lotus? Lotus I can’t hear you!”
Another voice came through, it was...warm and loving, very motherly.
“Ah...you have grown so much, young Void Walker...and now you have fully awaken yourself.”
“Who are you? How did you get through my coms?!”
“Who I am..is not important now, Keiji.”
“How do you even know that name…? No one but myself remembers my real name…”
“I have watched you for many many years, Keiji...let’s just say, I have plans for you to be called to a more noble purpose. The Lotus only uses you for her selfish nature, claiming that it is for the good of your kind. She has lied to you once. Who is to say she won’t do it again?”
Keiji thought on it for a second. Whoever this was, she was right. He didn’t trust the Lotus after what had transpired before. Why should he even trust her now and do as she tells him?
“And what do you want from me?”
“It is simple, I want you to come home, Keiji. Come back to the world that you truly belong to...your soul does not belong in this world, But in mine...is where you should have been born…”
“What..do you mean…?”
‘All will be explained in due time, my sweet Void Walker.”
Suddenly, a white swirling light consumes the ship entirely, making it disappear into thin air. Good timing to, the grineer were indeed starting to close in.
--Canterlot Castle, Twilight Sparkle’s Coronation--
“Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in all of Equestria! Thank you friends, thank you everypony!!!”
The cheers below from all the ponies lasted for a few moments, then changed into screams and gasps of fear as a loud boom echoed through the sky, a large swirling light spits out an odd looking metallic aircraft, it flies down towards them, nearly landing into the crowd as it flies over the courtyard. But pulls up in time and turns around and hovers there.
“Oh Mother...is this the one from the void you spoke of…?”
Celestia asked herself as her and the others stared up at the roaring aircraft. It sounded like an angered beast, howling and growling as it eyes it’s prey. What will happen? Will keiji open fire on these unsuspecting ponies? Or will he follow through with the unknown voice that has yet to explain what the hell is going on?
