CHAPTER 12: Flurry Hearts Tale part.1

This story is quite unique because its like a wish for those who knew what transpired, not because it’s untrue but because this tale will only come true after a thousand years. In a different world unlike this one, a different universe altogether in a peaceful land called Equestria.

Its home too many legendary creatures that could only be found in the most magical of places, a land so rich that gems and gold will never disappear. A soil so enrich that farmers can plant in the same soil for countless life time and they would still have a bountiful harvest.

It’s home to countless magical creature that’s big or small, kind and vicious and yet this world was so at peace that, the creatures that live here has never seen the true horror of war that can leave a land desolate and lifeless. Animals have never been push to extinction because of greed.

The most notable disputes are easily solved by food fight that uses baked goods as a weapon but the most important thing to remember in this magical land called Equestria are protected by a race of God’s called Alicorn. Yes this land could live out its peace for millennium to come if only the Orokin never found it.

This is a tale about a young Princess that has seen no war and a Hero that has seen no peace but first the hero will only appear when he is truly needed in this world. ---

Planet Equus

Exosphere

Operator I highly advice against this, re-entering an unknown planet’s atmosphere using your Archwing alone is practically Bzzt* SUICIDE* unsafe may I suggest deploying your landing craft in this sector?

No!!! The moment our landing craft enter this sector Tenno, Corpus, and Grineer will soon follow.

I see uhhmm remind me again Operator why the Tenno coming here is bad?

An active Orokin Warship that deploys mindless Tenno, A black Ayatan Star that can reverse a Tenno morality by showing a past that doesn't exist? You do the math.... No scratch that do this one instead Ordis.

Thermosphere

Operator your shields won’t hold Bzzzttt

Mesosphere

I don’t mean to sound inconsiderate Operator but HOLY SH*T YOUR ON FIRE DO SOMETHINGGGGGG!!!!

Upon entering the Mesosphere the Tenno detach his Archwing as his shields finally disappeared, so did the flames but only for a second as his Inaros was next to catch fire. Arcane Guardian and Arcane Grace started to kick in along with the Adaptation Mod.

This isn’t any better Operator!!!! You won’t survive re-entry !!!

Shut up and don’t tell me the Odds!!!

Inside the Tenno’s head is...... “My Inaros HP are down to 981 and counting, Arcane Grace & Guardian are offline (D@mn it, I luck out, work Arcanes,WORK!!!), Adaptation to heat 90% resistance (Of course there aren’t any resistance against a pressurize environment entering a planets atmosphere but I got a 90% resistance to heat that’s something right? Ohhh F*ck I don’t have any impact resistance that will help me survive the ground. Plan B then)

Using his Transference ability to hide his Warframe in the Void and immediately activating Void Shadow coating his body with the protection of the Unairu way keeping the damage to his human like body from harm but the Tenno has urgent matters to do than wait for a safe landing tactic.

“No time, I need to find those Orokin Warframes soon or else my *Hunter* will lose them.... I just hope my Magus Nourish heal Inaros to compensate the impact on the ground”

As the Tenno *Void Dash* faster into the planets surface, he felt his feet reaching a solid ground to step on at this height.

Statosp---Orokin Tower in Cetus

The Tenno void dash into the.....ground? “I remember the Stratosphere was supposed to be a lot higher in the ground and a lot less like” he pause to check his new surroundings, what he saw blew his mind at the scenery his in “the broken down bridge in the Orokin Tower in Cetus? Since when did they have time to fix that?” The Tenno look at the tower then at the bridge that was supposed to be broken and in need of repairs. His gaze followed the path but in his view to the opposite side expecting the settlement in Cetus and its people called Ostrons instead what he saw behind him are white clouds that shrouds the heaven above and below.

(Is this the enemies Tower?) *Transfer---* expecting to switch back with his Warframe the Tenno has a dump founded look in his face as his expected transformation came out as nothing.

The Tenno tries to understand this strange phenomenon “This place was unnatural to stop a transference sequence that didn’t felt like interference but more like Warframes aren’t allowed in this place” His gaze return to the tower as the sun shines behind it, showing its golden glory like it was before the old war. “This feeling, this world why do I feel like, I should have been here eons ago.

Then the Tenno heard a friendly familiar voice saying “We watch, we anticipate, we intercede”. The Tenno immediately called out “Onkko!!!”

When the gates of the tower started to open, The Tenno saw Onkko’s Ceno armor that was proceeding in his general direction followed by a taping sound much like... the best description I can give is that they sound like hooves steps.

The Tenno look at this pony with the Ceno Armor, it was a quadruped that was strangely wearing a customize Ceno Armor for ponies but for the Tenno with one look this armor reminds him of the Quills specially “Holy Sh*t! Onkko is that really you??!!” The Tenno’s remark trying to comprehend what his eyes are looking at and what his brain can process.

Onkko look at the Tenno and simply re-introduce himself “I'm Quill Onkko Secondary. We have and shall have a long association, Tenno. I know this conversation well.” Then from his pocket he procures a simple glass jar, inside it are gold coins called bits. Onkko shook the jar making a *cling-cling* sounds gesturing for the Tenno to pay up.

The Tenno pointed at the peculiar jar asking “What’s that for?”

“A swear jar” Onkko replied.

“Seriously?, I’m an Architect of the Quills” the Tenno rebuke.

Onkko re-shake the jar.

Exia look at the jar with gold coins in them, a currency he did not have but then an idea came into mind, he check his inventory and then dump all the Vanta Ayatan Black Star he received from the Warlord of the Umbra clan, immediately filling the jar to the brim.

Onkko saw the state of the jar being filled that has an aura of shadows and malice, he close his eyes and raise his head as his snout was smelling the heavens then he whispers to the Tenno. "Do you feel, felt that Tenno? Consequence brushing consequence. Already, the future shifts her expression. The Unum she request your presence but first it is time to create, recreate your focus Tenno as your past self did, will do. This will strengthen your 1st,2nd,3rd,4th abilities that revolve around your Warframes then your 5th ability that empowers the Void within you and lastly, to strengthen your body and mind, your evolution will come. When you unlock your soul then and only then will your 6th ability evolve”

Returning his focus towards the Tenno, he step aside making way and with his hoof he pointed towards the huge door in the tower. This Onkko being extra cryptic saying “Enter the Tower Tenno but be warned every choice closes off an infinite number of possible futures. The 6th ability you wish to evolve is unique in all the multiverse. Where you end, and it begins? An unanswerable question. Research. Focus. Master. Strive to answer the unanswerable."

The Tenno made a doubtful look at the Orokin Tower and the golden gate then his eyes shift to Onkko Secondary, he made this defeated sigh and said “The way you speak, you really are Onkko aren’t you?”

The quadruped gave the Tenno a sad look under his headgear “Just like what I did, had done, with catalogues of possible future Tenno, you must choose as eviscerating a choice it may be.” Onkko was silent for a moment then he spoke this words that engrave the Tenno’s heart “The past is dead, Name the future”

Under the Ceno Armor the Tenno somehow felt Onkko’s smile under the hat then he spoke the words that ultimately persuaded him to enter the gates of the Orokin tower “"Here we create the instrument with which you might co-author the future. Enter the tower and meet her, the Unum"

With those words the Tenno enter the gates of the Orokin Tower. Unknown to the Tenno Onkko was still stuck in his trance viewing the future and saying “Ah, the history you will have."

Our story begins one peaceful morning in Canterlot Castle as the Alicorn Princess Celestia and Princess Luna discuss the future of Equestria but was intrude by three bipedal beings with unknown origins that somehow was able to enter the throne room.

The one on the left has a full golden armour that covered his entire body and in his back a giant two handed great sword that shines in the light, anyone would mistake this weapon as a huge blank of pure gold.

The one on the right wore full black armour with peculiar crimson red markings that covered his face that stream down to the rest of his body. He wields a giant Black Death Scythe but as threatening as they are. The Alicorn Princess was much more focus on the bipedal in the middle of the room.

This person wore a robe made of fine white silk with golden ornaments that covered him from head to toe.

Alarmed by two well armed un-announce guest and an un-armed noble of some sort, The royal guards sprang into formation to trap the intruders in a circle.

Before a battle or unnecessary slaughter could commence between a Dax soldier and the royal guards the Orokin simply wanted an audience to the Alicorn of the Sun and the Moon

The Princesses who knew nothing, agreed to their terms because all they ask was a piece of land to build their home and a permit to trade in all of Equestria.

The Orokins request required bits even with all that gold in their clothes they don’t have any Equestrian currency on hand but what they have are ancient technology and knowledge that was born from the void.

The two Alicorn Princesses did not need any more riches and have no need for worldly possession no matter how foreign they are, thinking that there guest are simply a group of well armed traders from a different land.

The Princess of the Sun decides to humour her guest, then the Orokin told the Princess that he shall grant her any wish

(Any wish?) She was digging in the dept of her mind then she had an idea saying “I want to fall in love, to find a suitor and to be loved for who she is on the inside and not be intimidated of the status she currently has. She wanted to find her special some pony that could return her love, some pony that can accept her as who she really is. There was someone like that before but his gone now”

Everyone in the throne room could not believe the absurdity of their ruler’s wish, thinking that this is some sort of practical joke. No Equestrian or any mortal would be confident enough to love her like any other mare.

The Orokin and his soldiers left the throne room without a word and after a moment has past. The Princess of the night could no longer hold it in as she made a burst of laughter and a hint of lovable mockery.

“HAHAHA forgive me sister you wish for a special some pony, surely you jest, isn’t that request a bit too unattainable for mere traders from a distant land? Seeing as they clothe themselves in gold, you could have easily pointed them to the chambers of commerce”

Hearing her sister’s suggestion she begins to pout and replied “You didn’t have to laugh that hard Luna”

The following day during the morning court Celestia was expecting the Orokin’ but instead came a different guest. A pegasus wearing a full traditional battle armor that was supposed to be dead named Commander Hurricane, the Princess of the Sun was just speechless seeing her first love alive and well after so many heart aching years.

The Alicorn Princess couldn’t hide her joy as she run towards him in the middle of morning court but before a lovely reunion could begin the pegasi ask the Princess; she couldn’t accept “Bringing me back like this was a mistake Tia, tell them to take it back”

The Alicorn disagree “I shall not loose you a second time, my love, never again.”

The Orokin business was godsend to every creature in Equestria they granted wishes that defy logic, magic, and reasons. Ascension to Alicornhood even being unworthy, attaining magic that rival even star swirl, strength that rivals an earth pony, power, wisdom, knowledge of the past and future, even the life of a dear departed loved one can be bought back and in exchange the Orokin simply wanted anything that came from Equestria but the Orokin never took the same thing twice, they traded their wishes for books, plants, magical items that came from legends that mark Equestria’s history or curse magic and items, they even accept different kinds of rocks, gems and minerals known to Equestria even a simple recipe of every kind of foods.

One day Commander Hurricane and Princess Celestia head towards the castle of the twin sisters renamed as the Orokin Castle. It was located right next to the Everfree forest and right below it the tree of harmony.

Commander Hurricane was still at unsure about his revival because no matter how you spin this, bringing back the dead is wrong and for sure this kind of magic has unforeseen side effects. That’s why he came back here with Celestia to take back the Princess wish, Celestia argued back that there are no such consequences, even the Pony of Death hasn’t reclaimed a single life the Orokin brought back.

The couple was arguing and walking towards the castle gate when they notice a black giant with small gold ornaments around its body starring at a rock statue that look a lot like the Pony of Death, it has a ponies skull for a face and white bone hooves. It was perfectly design with a cloak that hides its body and a death scythe that hangs in its shoulders. At first glance nothing seems out of the ordinary but on a closer look the statue was floating in the air.

When the two couples tried to walk past the giant. It slowly drew his weapon the Skindo Prime (A giant two sided axe) and blocks their path with the blade ready to decapitate them. The giant did not speak but continued to stare at the statue.

Commander Hurricane did not step any further and said “I’m Commander Hurricane leader of the Pegasus tribe this is Princess Celestia, Alicorn of Canterlot, we need to speak with Orokin Executor Variik this is urgent. The giant did not move his giant axe but continue to stare at the statue.

Out of nowhere “How so?” the Orokin ask.

Surprised by the sudden appearance Celestia yelp a bit and the Commander stared daggers at the Orokin still oblivious to the situation. Orokin Don Von Variik tilt his head asking “Is there something wrong?”

Before Hurricane could scold him Variik look at the Warframe and said “Rhino Prime you’re making our customer rather uncomfortable, come here and let him speak.” Following that order Rhino Prime walk towards the Orokin and stood behind him.

The statue suddenly shook then it changed color, transforming into the Pony of Death. He spoke in creepy voices that send shivers to anyone that heard him.

“Orokin, do you know what you did? You took souls from my realm and I’m here to take them back”

The Orokin confident in his tone of voice smiled and said “You’re welcome to try”.

In a split second the entire world turned black

The pony in black cloak suddenly appeared right next to Commander Hurricane then grabs his left wing with his bone like hooves scaring both the Commander and Alicorn. *Trancendence* at the same time Rhino Prime drop to his knees and a child made of light grab death’s face like a water balloon ready to pop when he squeeze his hand. Then after a second nothing...the giant slowly stood up again and the Orokin speak saying “That was a complete waste of time” changing his gaze “no matter Princess Celestia and Commander Hurricane welcome to my humble abode, would you do me the honors of pouring you a fresh a cup of tea?”

Then after a few weeks the cost of these wishes became a lot steeper when a Minotaur offered a unicorns horn in exchange to heal his dying homeland in the Netherlands. Suffice to say this has to stop so the Princess of friendship persuaded all creatures to stop hurting others for their own benefit somehow it work. Losing customers like these did not anger the Orokin because it was finally time to put their plan in the next stage. To spread a disease that only they can cure, to unleash an epidemic that no magic can heal.

The Orokin smiled “Rejoice death, Your wish is about to come true”

The Infested will be unleash throughout this planet, taking countless lives. Unless our hero can stop it
