It's been 5 years since the Tenno on Earth been reawakened from cryosleep. The Corpus still stand strong but are highly weakened with the lost of Alad V. The Infested are now a rare sight to see. The Grineer, however, are nearly defeated with numbers around only a few hundred thousand instead of millions. The death of the Grineer Queens only sped up the downfall. They lost Mercury, Earth, Mars, and Sedna to the Tenno while Saturn and Ceres were taken by the Corpus. The Kuva Fortress is now abandoned. Uranus is their only stronghold left and they're still on the verge of completely losing it. Tyl Regor is one of the few leaders still standing. Tyl Regor has had many assassination attempts on his life at this point but the next one is going to be different. Four Warframes: Excalibur, Wukong, Gara, and Nyx are now charged with eliminating Tyl Regor. However, something goes extremely wrong for the Tenno during the mission and the fate of the Grinner is changed forever.
Prologue: Flight to Titania
The four Warframes gathered on a ship to Titania on the Lotus' orders. It was strange that she would have them board a single ship instead of using their own. The ship flew on its own while the Warframes discussed battle plans. None could come to terms with a plan. While arguing, a video feed popped up with Tyl Regor, the man that they are going to kill.
"You had me anxious, Tenno. Nervous. Pacing even. Didn't think you'd come. Such a relief. I'll finally get the chance to hurt you."
"Shut the hell up before I slice you up myself in the name of the Lotus," Gara said as she pointed her sword towards the screen.
"The Lotus… barking at you. Always so calm, always in control… She doesn't care about you, Tenno. She doesn't love you. Not like I loved the Tubemen you murdered."
The feed abruptly ends. This struck Excalibur to the core. Were Tyl Regor's words true? He felt uneasy. Nyx noticed this and pulled him to the side.
"Excal, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I'm just nervous. His men are supposed to be stronger than most Grineer. And Tyl Regor, himself. A deadly foe to mess with."
"Just remember our training and we'll be okay."
Nyx pulls Excalibur into a hug, catching him off guard.
"Hey, Gara. Look at these love birds," Wukong shouted out.
"What?! No! It's not like that. It's a hug of reassurance," Excalibur fired back immediately.
"Sure, and I'm not named after a long forgotten god."
"I'll fucking stab you right here and now."
"Will you two stop acting like children?" Gara nearly shouted.
The arguing ceased at once since Gara like the leader of the pack. The rest of the flight was in absolute silence as the Warframes prepared their gear.
"Prepare for landing," said the ships cephalon.
The Warframes drop onto the landing zone. The entrance to Tyl Regor's unground base stood before them. Excalibur was still worried. He's heard many important figures taunt him but not like this. He's hoping that this will be over and done with soon.
A/N: Just a short intro to this idea that has been appearing in my head for a while now.
