Homicidally Insane
The bulkhead door slides open with the puff hiss of all Grineer machinery. Yet before it is even entirely open there is a rush and a blur of motion as a shape snaps through the small gap. Lights and the glittery of energy trails chase after the shape as it enters into the room. The sound of impossibly heavy footsteps, and metal scraping metal, squealing through the engineering chamber of a Grineer asteroid fortress.
Twelve Grineer soldiers, troopers and lancers with a pair of Butchers that seemed entirely too lost amidst their larger brothers, were in that room. By the time the shape was through the door it was already too late. Even when the first cry of alarm rang out they should have known it.
The clone troopers were dead in gone in the same amount of time it might have taken their hearts to beat a dozen times. The shape was among them, a blur of energy and golden glinting light. And blood, so much blood.
By the time the other three Tenno actually entered the room, the shape was on the move again. A wicked laughter filling the hallway as it fled from them and searched for more Grineer. Heedless of their actual purpose here as Alarms began to sound within the base.
As the three stepped into the room, one of them stepped on a piece of debris. A shard of grineer armour plate, coated in gore, lay shattered and discarded.
"Ew." The Ivara purred in her electronic voice. She glanced to the others there with her and tugged at the string of her bow absently.
"So… how long we staying?" She asked absently of the other two Tenno. A Rhino, that looked more like a green and blue wall with legs than a warframe, and a Loki who's weapons looked more valuable than half the machinery in this room. Neither answered, neither had time.
A chorus of footsteps sounded from another bulkhead that had opened, opposite the direction the blurr had gone. A score of Grineer in red armour came trotting out of the hall beyond. Orders were shouted as they sighted the three Tenno and weapons were raised. Grakata and Vulkar. All raised to find their targets, only no shot was fired.
There was the screeling sound of metal and the gleeful, malevolent, laughter came back. That blur shot through the doorway it had disappeared through a moment before and rose in a high arc across the room. The sound of it drew even the Grineer death squad's eyes. A breach of discipline that would have been lethally punished by their commanders, if their simply being there hadn't already been a death sentence.
The Ivara watched as the shape resolved into a figure. Clad in red and black and golden armour against the warframe's lithe shape. A halo of golden light reflected atop their helmet as the Prime variant of a Valkyr descended like a meteor into their midst. It was screaming something as it descended in it's distorted feminine voice. A shrill excited noise as it landed amidst the Grineer and swung, once, with a weapon larger than the Warframe was tall.
It took the Ivara a moment to realize the Valkyr was screaming the words murder and death and kill at random intervals, as loudly as it could. And by then it was already over. Bits of Grineer were bouncing off the machinery nearby, and what remained of the bodies themselves slumped to the floor as the Valkyr moved on.
There was a short moment of silence as the three Tenno stared at what had been only a moment before a Grineer death squad.
Then the Loki glanced towards the Ivara and snorted a laugh as he announced in a tiny mechanical voice.
"She says forty minutes."
The Rhino laughed, and the Loki laughed more, and then they left Ivara there. The two darted past the dead Grineer and after the Valkyr. The report of the Loki's Tigris and the roar of the Rhino's Drakgoon joining the alternately mad, shrieking, and delighted screams of the Valkyr somewhere down the hall.
"Murder! Kill! DIE DIE DIE!"
