Chapter 1: A Name, A Story, A Way
A Warframe, every Tenno has one, it becomes a part of you, a way of life. Each Tenno trains in it Warframe, forms a bond, a connection, each has their own way of combat, their own style, lithe and fast, tough and powerful, or a mix between the two. I chose an Excalibur, my balancing style, I customized it, into three catagories. My suit, featuring a reformer like most, allows various improvements for various missions, I have three. The Noble Warrior, using the basic helm, and a color pattern of crimson red, orange, and black, it's power core putting out a faint orangish glow, it was designed for combat based missions, higher shields, better armor, more power capacity. My second is the Survival Suit, a basic Excalibur color pattern, the Avalon Helm, and a balancing of mods to make it suitable for any situation. And last but not least, and my most used suit, The Shadow Hunter, I use the Avalon helm, a alternating dark blue and teal outline color scheme, a red power glow, modifications make it fast, well shielded, and agile.
Every Tenno has a name, it shows their taste, their weapon of choice, or their fight style, some use nicknames like me, some pick something more simple. My name is only understood when you find my weapon of choice, I depending on my suit setup will wield different weapons, for Noble Warrior I use a Cerno bow, it's mods increase damage, and a fire damage mod, a secondary duel wield Lato pistols, damage increase, and as before a fire mod, weapons I use in all my set ups is a dual wield Skana, all damage mods, and a classic fire mod. My Survival Suit holds the same weapons, minus the fire mods and dual wield, instead it holds a single Lato, it balances speed and power. My Shadow Hunter suit holds the same setup minus the pistols, the bow has only speed mods, the swords have frost mods. My name as they call me, I chose it not, rather it was earned and given to me by Lotus, I am The2Swords, or as some closer to me call me, Swords. My name, my gift, my story, this is who I am and who I will be.
"So what's a pretty lil Mag like you doin round these parts? Don't ya know the Void is a dangerous place?" I say to the Mag next to me, " Very funny Swords, you think your bow and pretty little flaming blades are gonna get you through this easy right?" She replied, smirking beneath her helm. "Ah but that's the trick ain't it! I'm nearly untouchable while wearing my Noble Warrior suit!" I say luaghing despite the horrors we were about to face, "Sure, tell me that again when I have to revive your nearly dead corpse later" the Mag replied back. I and the Mag had been together for a few missions before, but this was her first visit to the Void, I'd been here, alone, many times before. The Mag whom I was following into a deadly place was one of my few real friends, her name, given to her by those who don't operate with her often, is Mystique, however her real name is Arriin.
"Tenno, prepare for warp, we are now deploying you into a Orokin Vessel, you must eliminate all Corrupted forces within" Lotus said over our comms. "Well Princess I guess it's time we show you the reality of being a real warrior!" I chide as we enter the warp, "Always so cocky and full of yourself Swords, it's gonna be the death of you some day" she chided back. Entering the warp is a feeling you never get used to, an "out of body" experience you could say. When we arrived inside all seemed quiet a little bit weird, normally when I enter these things I land in a horde of Corrupted. Oh well time to get to work, "Lotus how many are we looking at?" I hear Arriin say behind me, "There are 203 life forms on board other than you Tenno" Lotus replied in her normal dull tone. I hear Arriin take a scared breath, "Don't worry sweetie I do this alone, for fun" I tell her, she knows me, it's my way of saying she will be fine, she nods her head to say let's go, and we walk off towards the nearest unlocked door.
We walked to the door and we made it halfway before all hell broke loose, the door opened to several Heavy Gunners, they began firing at us, Arriin jumped up and away towards a small outcropping of a wall, I sidestepped behind a floor raising cover. I grabbed my Cerno and stepped out of cover, firing off one arrow into a Gunner, then with honed skill, I picked off three more, leaving two alive, the final two began firing at me forcing me behind cover. Arriin pulled out her Braton, and fired off several round at one gunner, drawing it's fire, I jumped into the air, my dual Skanas with their fires blazing and landed, plunging both blades into one of the gunners, Arriin emptied her clip into the other, finishing it with a swipe of her Cronus.
"Told you it is dangerous, but no you had to come here!" I said to Arriin, "You didn't have to come! You wanted to remember?" She snapped back, " Yea I did, because I wanted to protect you! I care ok? And I'm not letting you come to a hell hole like this without me!" I yelled back, we both stalked off in silence, Arriin taking a route along a ledge, I walked on the floor.
