*THIS CHAPTER HAS BEEN REWORKED.*

So yea, before you go on and read the story, I am really not use to writing stories. I have written more story drafts on my computer, but they are too terrible to be shown in my opinion. So here I would like to go a bit on a try out.

Please feel free to comment and give me some good reviews so I can improve!

It has been reworked, but as you would know, it may not be perfect. So… yea, keep an open mind please :D


Ch.1

.

"Wake-up…"

My vision was blurry. A room with no light but a door way with bright light shining from behind. A person was standing there, blocking the light and fore-shadowing me. A small female voice passes through my ears…

She said, "wak-e…p….Wake u..p"

Is that Lotus?

No. She didn't look like Lotus for sure.

I was really confused and no idea who she was.

I tried to speak, but something was blocking my throat. Not a single sound came out.

I tried to walk, but something was pulling my limbs. No matter how hard I tried, nothing happened.

Then all a sudden, I was hit in the head really hard. It thrown me off the seat and onto the floor.

"Ouch, what the Fuck?" I screamed in pain and rubbed my head. I then looked around as I woke up from my dream. The female sound was actually Ordis, who was screaming in my ship in siren; the 'Shadow' was actually my Warframe, stood still in front of my 'operator sit'; that 'light behind the door' was actually a fire lit outside my room. The whole ship was shaking.

"Operator! We are in D-Danger! Don't you decide to go back to sleep again!" Ordis shouted in distress. "Because we are under ATTACK!"

"From who?"

"Corpus?…No…Grineer?...neither." Ordis begin to list out all possibilities. "Not matching to any known factions."

"Our ship's status?" I asked, trying to stand up under the terribly shaking ground, "Is the jump drive available?"

"Jump Drive integrity….29%," Ordis skipped his whole list. "If we were to do one right now, our Orbiter will tear apart and it will dangerous! You have to g… DIE IN HORRIBLE PA…get to safety!"

"Well, we can't get to anywhere good with this ship." I transferred into my Warframe, Saryn, I took out for grinding. "Is the Archwing ready?"

"Sorry to tell you, Operator, but you sold your Archwing a few days ago."

"Bummer!" I shouted as I smashed the coolant pipes and used them to put out some fire.

"Liset is ready though. If you wish, we can over-ride your Liset Engines to a one-off travel to the nearest Relay." Suggested by Ordis. "But that mean we will be abandoning the rest of the ship."

"Well, the hull is compromised. I guess we don't have much a choice."

"Affirmative." Ordis replied. "That will take around 10s, grab your belongings passengers, 'cause we are leaving you to DIE."

I quickly head towards the Arsenal and pull open the storage doors, no time for machines to take them out for me. I grabbed my Vectis, Lex and a Nikana. Dashed towards the door to enter the Liset. The Ship closed up and detached from the orbiter. As we separated, I saw Black objects circling around the orbiter and launching plasma balls to the surface. Bits by bits, the orbiter was broken into parts.

"Bloody hell… Who would do this?" I muttered.

"We are going to Mercury, hold on, it is going to be really BBBUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBY."

I closed my eyes as Ordis boosted the engine to hyper-speed. I couldn't tell whether I fell asleep or I blacked out. Either way, I woke up again, this time, I was on the surface of a planet. Not any Relay or civilize areas.

I was in a god damn forest.

Forest huh?

I must be on Earth. I looked around. Trees, grass, Birds in the blue sky, all that confirmed my conclusion. I quickly hopped off the Liset's hatch, which the ship was held up by the rocks sticking out of the ground, and landed on the ground 3 meter down. I looked around again just to be sure the ship won't fall down and crush me.

"Hey, Ordis, you there?"

"Operator! You are fine!"

"Of course I am, you idiot, why are we on Earth?"

"We were hit just before we entered hyper-speed, the slight angle difference causing us to crash onto the Earth surface instead of Mercury's Larunda relay." Ordis explained. "Sorry, Operator, I failed you."

"It is alright, either way will not make much difference. The main point is I survived." I forgave Ordis. "Is the radar on your side still working?"

"Yes, Operator…wait… 3 unknown objects incoming, quite fast. They spoke English." Ordis analyzed the intercepted transmittions. "They are looking for a crash site. I think they are referring to us."

"They can't have followed us this far." I climbed the rocks to get close to the bottom of the ship, "Ordis, get into the emergency portable disk, I'm taking you out."

"I am afraid I can't do that." Ordis replied. "My system is being disconnected to the rest of the ship. I can only access the radio. There is no other way for me to get out."

I could hear the roaming of the planes or whatever that just came over my head. They are really close now. I picked my weapons and some gears I stuffed in the back of the Liset and head away from the crash site. "Ordis, listen." I commanded, "From now on, do not send any output signals and conceal your present inside the ship's database. I can't take you out now. We are on our own."

"Understood, Operator." Ordis obeyed. "Don't worry about me."

"I will come back for you when the time is right." I looked back, kinda feeling bad for leaving him, but there was no telling what I will be up against. I quickly ran and hide about 200 meters away in a higher plain than the place I crashed. The 3 jet-like object landed at my crash site and started their work.

I took out my Vectis and looked at them through my scope. Those 'jets' looks like human-like figures, but larger, with jet backs, long arms and legs. One in Black, one in blue and one in orange. They were working their way into the site as they pushed over the trees in their way, talking about something and picked up some part of the ship fragments. They all suddenly stop searching the ship, turned around and started to look around for something else. The black one stopped and faced in my direction, aiming its gun at me.

As I thought, I was spotted.

"Shite!" I exclaimed and dashed towards the nearest tree as cover. A shell slipped pass my tree and landed a few meters away from me, knocking me over to the ground. I quickly stood up and wiped off some of the dirt on my face and started to run. Although that shell made a nice scratch on my left arm, I had no time to check the damage it was dealt. The Blue and Orange jets took off, flying towards me in stunning speed. The shell keep landing near me, I needed a solution quick to get out of this chase;

If I stay and take out the cannon, I will get countered by the other 2;

If I decide to fight the 2 with my Vectis, I will get bombed into pieces by the shells while I stood still to aim. Plus, they are too close and too fast to be targeted;

If I run and tried to leave a decoy behind…

"That actually… would work!"

As I approach the Open, the orange jet landed in front of me and held its gun at my head.

I quickly pushed the gun barrel upwards as I slide downward between its legs. The gun rapidly fired after I pushed it, missed my head and shot the ground behind me.

I then rolled and bullet jumped onto the trees, hopping from branches to branches. In just mere seconds, the guns from behind started spray at my afterimage. The leaves and branches around me where exploding, with variety sizes of splinters raining everywhere.

Since they stopped shooting at my direction, I dropped down to the floor again as I widened the distance between me and them. Hiding behind a rock.

A quick look at the damage on my arms where most splinters and scratches from the previous bullet rain. "No time to waste." I told myself and began to run again.

In the sky, the other two jets hovered in mid-air, searching for me. Luckily, the remaining trees in the forest covered my position. I scouted the area for a bit to understand the landscape. I am currently trapped in a forest surrounded by an open field around it.

I looked at the loud noise echoing from the trees, followed by the landing of two jets. They form a triangle with me in the center. I planned my approach, it would be the easiest to take down one of them and run; or run between two of them and bet they cannot catch up.

Can't be sure about the jets capability nor their strengths, so I would go for plan B then. The black one was the one with artillery and the blue one was carrying a sniper, both long rangers with the orange one as short range to compensate the team's strength.

The line between the black one and the blue one will be the weakest line of defense. It was set then.

Dashing to the open from the top of the tree and looked at that blue one as I was falling, laid a mold as she took her shot; in a split of a second, I turned to the other side of my body to take a snap shot at the black jet's artillery gun with my Vectis.

Coincidently she fired her shell as my shot landed into her barrel. A loud explosion took place inside the gun and destroy it, knocking the jet to lose its balance and fall down.

Back to the blue one, I rapidly flank it with my Lex and approached the ground with a slide. Stood up and continued to run. No sign of the orange one chasing yet.

I soon come to the edge of a cliff, down below is the ocean. I didn't have much of a choice other than standing at the edge to fight off the three. I took the leap of faith without hesitating.

The moment I began to fall, I realized I made a grief mistake and fell into their trap. The orange jet was directly below the cliff and approached me at a stunning speed.

I was too late to react.

It knock me back up the cliff and the force of the impact made me lost hold of my weapons. I hit the ground hard on my back and made a small bounce across the field, landing on the front again.

The orange jet landed in front of me and held its guns at point blank range as soon as I looked up. Shortly followed by the other two. The black one still got smoke coming out from the sides. This time, I didn't have any chance of escaping.

Now I got a better view on these 'jets', they were like an exo-suit with extended limbs, piloted by teenage girls. They were all human, but they didn't look like Corpus or Grineer, the markings on the side of their armor were in different languages and something I never seen before.

The girl in the black suit shouted, "Raise your hands and surrender, you have been surrounded!"

"Charlotte, what is this?" The girl in blue suit asked.

"I don't know either, Cecilia, but we were ordered to capture it." The girl in orange suit, Charlotte I presumed, answered.

As much as I hate to admit, but I was out numbered. I dropped my weapons and stood up slowly. Placed my hands behind my head.

Charlotte commanded, "Laura, take hold of her; Cecilia, pick her weapon."

They both nodded and did as she was told, I am now being tied up by some pink electric threads with my hands behind my back. We then took off and headed away from the forest. I didn't know where they were going to take me, but I wanted to know 3 things:

One, who are they?

Two, what is the escape plan?

Three, are they the same faction that took out my orbiter?

Well, I guess I would not know any one of the answers to my questions for now. I am outnumbered and unarmed… in the middle of sky. This is going to be a long flight…


For a rework on the first chapter, I say it is good enough? The plot armor is there, but I made the Warframe looks too weak in the previous version. (BAKA)
