So, ideas and Tumblr came together, and WarFrame decided to jump in. I'm bad with Author notes before stories. Just enjoy please.
The amount of excitement you could feel in the Tenno Academy was thick. You could cut it with a knife, and it would fall right back, unable to be affected by any type of news. Talking could be heard from everywhere as everyone tried to convince one another which WarFrame was the best.
"Ash. Hands down."
"No, Nova!"
"Volt. Always Volt."
I let a small smile out. Today was Graduating Day. The day you would find out your 'Frame. The day that would change your life forever, and I knew only one thing.
I was going to be Saryn. I had to be Saryn. All my tests lined up perfectly. The test-keeper was impressed, he said there was no doubt that I would be like my mother.
My smile disappeared when I though about my mother. Commander of the Tenno, only listened to the Lotus herself, gone mysteriously, but life went on. Didn't it?
I walked to my small locker, and shoved the study book from my last class inside it. Pictures of Saryn lined the small walls, and a picture of me and my parents was plastered on the back, right under the giant word of my name. Delilah Lane.
"Hey, DS!" I heard a boy yell, the 'S' echoing down the hall to me, making me slightly close my locker door to look behind it. A tall boy with brown hair was running towards me, following him, a small blond girl, struggling to keep up with Mr. Longlegs, both trying to push the crowd away. When he reached my locker he bent down, trying to catch his breath.
"Hi, Jonathan." I paused. "Or should I start actually calling you JV now?" A smile crossed both of our faces and the small blond girl finally caught up, lightly punching Jonathan in the arm.
"Don't wait up for me, just go on ahead." She said sarcastically. "It's not like your little sister has legs as long as you."
"Oh, hush Macy." He said to her and looked back up to me. "Yes, Always call me JV." He acted tough and lightly punched the locker next to me, him letting out a small 'ow' and rubbing his knuckles, making me and Macy smile.
"I know I'm going to be Volt. Even thought I'm not strong, I can run." I snorted in laughter and closed my locker door. It was going to be cleaned out later today.
"The sentence 'I can run' is an understatement, you're like a giant freaking Loki." She laughed at her own joke. "You would be good as Loki." JV frowned at her.
"Now you're just being cruel." That earned a laugh from me as a loud beep echoed through the building, meaning that an announcement was about to come on.
"All graduating Tenno. Please head to the Great Hall for your WarFrame assignment."
Everyone went back to talking and started heading in one direction, towards the Great Hall. Jonathan offered his arm out to me and Macy.
"Ladies, I shall lead you to the Hall of Greatness!" Macy laughed at him, making me smile at their happiness, and making me question why I couldn't be this happy. We both grabbed onto his arms, letting him lead us through the moving crowd to the Academy's Great Hall. Excitement overwhelmed me, making me smile.
We reached the end of the hallway and squeezed through the large metal doors. Jonathan was dragged away from us. Macy and I stood leaning on the wall, waiting for the whole assembly to start rolling. My instincts took over and I was unconsciously searching my surroundings, searching for allies and enemies, escape routes, and any WarFrames. I knew almost everyone who went here, so I knew who to mostly trust. I knew this school inside and out, so I know how to get out of here. The only thing that was missing was the latter, which there was none.
"Hey, Macy?" I began. "Do you think there would be any 'Frames here?" She shook her head.
"Probably not, unless you mean off-duty ones, without their suits." She nodded towards the corner, where a young looking woman had a Strun Wraith was looking around, looking curious. I chose to not meet her eyes when she looked over to me and focused on the new thing that was the center of attention.
A man had stepped onto the podium. He wasn't anyone of rank, probably a non-fighting Tenno asked to do this. I wasn't surprised that the Commander wasn't here, he was a giant wimp, or so my mom used to say, and that's why there was only one guard here, instead of there being one on every corner. The man tapped on the microphone, letting a loud screeching noise echo in the Hall. Macy covered her ears in pain like the majority of everyone else did.
"Uh..." The man started off, already starting off to a bad start. "Today we are here to send off these graduating Tenno to fight to protect the Solar System." You could tell he was making it up as he went. There wasn't speeches for this. I looked back over to the female guard to tell she was smirking at his troubles.
"Er. I guess we should start?" He looked towards the guard, where she just shrugged, and he turned back to the microphone.
"Would Mr. Jacob Aveen please come up to the stage please?" The man asked, and we got underway.
"Miss Delilah Lane?" The man asked. I shoved myself lightly off the wall and walked to the stage, the crowed parting like a wave for me. I stepped up onto the stage and stood beside the man.
"Miss Lane has a high GPA. Her preferred WarFrame would be Saryn." He coughed a little and rubbed his throat, then continued on with what WarFrame I would be on the large screen beside him.
"Your WarFrame is." He said, and I closed my eyes at the last second when he clicked the button. All I heard were gasps and frantic whispering, the signs that something went wrong, or I did I do something wrong?
I was quickly dragged off the stage by the guard. I opened my eyes to try to get a good look at my WarFrame. What I saw surprised me, I was the impossible.
Me, a female human, had a male WarFrame.
I was Excalibur.
Shock filled my body, to the point where I was numb everywhere. I barely understood what the guard was saying after she took me to a small hall outside of the Great Hall.
"Delilah." She said, kneeling in front of me while I was sitting down. Her Strun Wraith was on the ground beside her. She lightly grabbed my arm, shocking me out of my daze. I tried to move my arm but she held on.
"Do you know what happened? What your WarFrame is?" She had an untraceable emotion in her eyes.
"Excalibur." I managed to whisper. I could tell that the shock was wearing off. I was starting to get feeling back.
She nodded. "I have to get to headquarters and tell the Commander this." She looked worried for me, and I felt a twinge of pain. "Someone will come and get you and explain all of this to you. Understand?" I nodded slowly, absorbing all of the information she was giving me. She stood up, grabbing her shotgun and looked back down at me. "If you need something, just ask for Naomi."
I was alone in the hall after she left, and I allowed my body to go numb again.
So yea. This took like, five days to write, and I don't write much because I am truly horrible at it. Anyways, I have a Tumblr, and I follow lots of WarFrame Rpers, and I kinda fell in love with just watching what was happening. Naomi was the only one so far who responded to me asking for me to use every ones 'Frames for this story.
You can find Naomi's Tumblr in my Author Page.
I'm too tired to write anymore.
