The first chapter of my Warframe: Starters Series.
Episode 1: A Dull Blade
A lone Excalibur, was sitting in the bridge of his Orbiter, mediating. He was red, with black and orange accents. And a black mastery sigil across his warframe's chest.
He felt at peace. Until a transmission popped out of nowhere, and it made a loud, obnoxious voice,
"HI CALI!" Said a blue Mag with orange accents cheerfully in the transmission. The Excalibur let out a yelp and fell to the side.
"Void-Dammit Mag!" Yelled the Excalibur that is nicknamed "Cali." "What do you want!?"
"She wants to do a spy mission on Amalthea." Said a green Volt with purple accent in second transmission.
"What!? You know she's terrible at spy missions, Volt!" Said Cali.
"Yes, but apparently she wants to get some neural sensors." Replied Volt. "And like you said. She is damn terrible in Spy missions."
"But why didn't she want to do a survival or a defend mission? She could get more material that way!" Yelled Cali.
"I did suggest it to her, but..." Said Volt.
"I REFUSE!" Mag had her arms up, interrupting him.
"You know." Cali facepalmed. "You and your warframe of choice are not so different."
"Oh! Is it because I attract things? That is weird, since I personally can't attract metal, or is it-" Wondered Mag.
"IT'S THE FACT YOU BOTH FUCKING SUCK!" Cali yelled at Mag enraged.
"Hey! Don't be hating that my warframe is cool. And I'm cool." Mag put her hands on her waist, feeling proud of herself.
"Mag, you're such a child." A tick popped up on Cali's head.
"Well she is cute that way." Said new transmission in a flirty tone, it was a yellow Loki with black accents.
"Oh no, why are YOU in this chat?" Groaned Cali.
"I heard that Mag wanted to that Spy mission, and I wouldn't let the little lady do it by herself." Loki bowed.
"Oh, shut up, Loki, cut the gentleman acts. You just want to get into Mag's frame." Cali said.
"Hey, can't blame a guy for trying." Shrugged Loki.
"Yeah, how can Loki can get in my warframe? I am already in my warframe." Mag said confused.
"Mag, it's best if you not know." Said Volt, trying to protect Mag's innocence.
They start talk over each other, much to Cali's increasing ire, until he can't take it anymore.
"AAAAAAAAAA! ALRIGHT FINE! LET'S TAKE MAG TO FUCKING AMALTHEA AND DO THIS FUCKING SPY MISSION, FUCK!" Screamed Cali.
"Geez Cali, be quiet." Said Mag annoyed.
"Just get in your landing craft." Replied Cali.
"Ok!" Mag said cheerfully, the transmissions shut off.
"By Lotus, I hate this girl." Cali shakes his head. "How she became Tenno is beyond me. Hey, Alfa."
"Let me guess." Said the ship Cephalon. "Your annoying blue friend annoyed you enough to go on a mission."
Cali sighed, "Yes, get the Liset ready."
"Ok, operator." Said Alfa.
On the Corpus Ship, Amalthea, the four Tenno sneaked in the ship's vents. Cali have a Soma in his hands, with a pair of Lex at his sides, and a Skana on his back. Mag's arsenal is a Penta, Twin Grakatas, and a Arca Titron. Volt's is a Dread, a Castanas, and a Dark Dagger. And Loki's a Sybaris, a Vasto, and a Machete. That's their preferred weapon of choice anyway.
As the get out the vents, they saw a lone Corpus worker, and the took cover.
"Alright, to avoid any attention," Cali whispers his plan, "Volt, use your Dread to snipe him."
"Got it." As Volt gets out of cover to take aim, a lone grenade was flown at the worker's feet, as he looks down confused, he gets blown up alerting his co-workers nearby.
"Got it!" Mag gave a thumbs up, holding up her Penta.
"VOIDDAMMIT MAG!" Yelled Cali.
"Alert the captain! The Tenno are here!" Yelled one of the crew members.
"Well shit." Said Loki.
"Ok, new plan." Cali tries to calm down. "Me, Volt, and Loki will quickly get the data before they delete it, and Mag?"
"Hmm?" Said the destructive Tenno.
"Go nuts." Said Cali.
"Hecks yeah!" Mag gleefully cheers as she pulls out her Twin Gratakas.
Cali, Volt, and Loki run off while Mag shoots down the Corpus Workers with no mercy
"Alfa! Where's the first data?" Cali called out to his Cephalon.
"Data A is 50 meters west. I mark it on your navigation map." Said Alfa. "And. Make Mag grow up. She's probably a grown woman right now."
"Thanks, Alfa." Cali snarked.
He runs down the hallway shooting down any Corpus in his way. He quickly opens a door, and runs through it, he sees a large room guarded by Corpus Ospreys. Not wanting to bother with them, he wall jumps up a wall, and leapt on a platform with a vent screen in the middle.
"Seriously though, who designs these? It's like they want to be broken in." He breaks the vent screen and see lasers above the monitor that holds the data. He jumps down avoiding the lasers and lands perfectly.
"Too easy." He said as takes a step forward, then he hears an alarm go off. He takes a look down and he his foot crossing a single laser. "Oh, come on!"
Panicking, he ran towards to the monitor, "Ok, ok, I have to hack it." As he pulls up a screen to hack the monitor to get the data. "Oh, I hate Corpus Security." He tried to turn the hexagons around to link the lines, fumbling around. Then he notices the time. "Oh shit! I have 10 seconds!" He quickly tried to hack the security, and successfully gets the data.
"Yes! Suck it, Corpus!" He takes off to open the door and outside he sees a lot of crewmen, walkers, and ospreys, and they are aiming at the Excalibur warframe. "Oh fuck." He said
Volt went through the vents taking advantage of the chaos outside, he hears two voices.
"So, what are going to do if we make out of this, John?" Said a crewman.
"Well, I'll go home to see my wife and kids. After, they need their father." Said John.
"Don't worry, we'll make it though, you'll see your family soon." Said the crewman.
"You always know what to say to brighten things- Urk!" John's skull was skewered by arrow.
"Oh my god! John!" The crew cried out, then sees Volt holding Dread. "You killed John, you bas-"
He was decapitated by Volt's arrow, then Volt puts his weapon down. "This area is cleared. Time to get the data." He went up to a monitor, and hacks it quickly. He downloads the data and leaves quietly. "Time meet up with the others."
Loki, using his warframe's abilities, going through is a cakewalk for him. He casually strolls along invisible while the Corpus crewman rush past, not noticing him. He keeps on walking, taking his sweet time, whistling the whole way.
He sees a female crewman wandering around nervously, "Oh no. It's my first day here, and were being attacked. What am I going to do?"
Loki takes a look at her behind and gives a low whistle. And then he gives it a smack and the female crewman let out a huge "EEP!" And then Loki went on his merry way as the girls was looking around, rubbing her bottom.
He opens the door and comes up the monitor and hacks the computer, taking the data, while still whistling.
He walks out and as he gets to the main deck, his invisibility ability wore off, and he has no more energy to sustain it. All of the crewmembers look at him, then aimed at him. Loki gives a sweat drop, and ran towards the access point for his dear life
.
Down the hallway, Loki was running like crazy until Cali caught up with him.
"Hey, got a hoard of Corpus on your tail, too?" Asks Loki.
"Yep." Cali said quickly.
Then Volt used his ability to run lightning fast, dragging the shooting Mag behind him.
"Wheeee!" Mag cheered happily.
"They got the data!" Yelled a crewman, "Don't let them escape!"
Then Mag uses her ability to make a magnetic orb that drags the crewman to the center, then she shoots her Penta at the orb, and its grenades are pulled towards the center, Mag detonates it, and the crewmen blew up in a squall of gore with flying gibs, limbs , and everything.
"They're all dead now!" Said the psychopathic Tenno.
"That will keeps us in the clear for now." Sighed the red Excalibur. As he says that, a Bursa appeared in front of them. "Oh Lotus, why THAT?"
"Ooh, looks dangerous." Said Mag, and then she pulled out her Grakatas, "Let's kill it."
"Nope!" Yelled Cali, they kept on running, dodging the Bursa's attacks.
Cali kept on saying "Nope!" The whole way to the extraction point, as they get there, they see their landing crafts, "Again, who designed this ship? Do they WANT us to escape?"
The group shrugged and went to their landing crafts.
"Agree on not taking Mag to spy missions ever again?" Said Cali.
"Agreed." Volt and Loki nodded in unison. Their landing crafts took off to return to their ships.
