Alan frowned as he looked at his status for the hundredth time.
(Cephalon, you're kidding right?)
(I can assure you operator, this is no jest.)
(Damn it! This is too slow!)
(The proper way to get stronger is by participating in battles.)
(Heh! And the only way to not die is by being strong. You see my problem here, Cephalon?)
(Apologies, operator, I cannot find a viable alternative to this in the present time.)
(It's no big deal, for now anyway. Hmm, almost curfew. Alright, once more and I'm headed home.)
[Speed]
He felt the power surge through his body and raced forward. At its current state, Speed boosted his speed by 10% and lasted for 5 seconds. It was pretty pitiful
for an ability he initially thought. But until its full power was reached, this was what he had to deal with.
SMASH
The piece of wood exploded when Alan threw his fist at it. His passive skill Static Discharge let him deal an extra 5 points of electric damage for each meter
traveled (up to a 1000 stored damage). Though it helped a bit, Alan was still unsatisfied with where he was at, especially after weeks of training in the
abandoned construction site.
(Cephalon, what are the chances the other frames are this weak?)
(Highly likely, the impact of the fall was beyond what the pods could prevent. It is logical to assume the other frames are damaged to some degree as well. But
adequate time has passed, so it is safe to assume they could also be building up their strength as well.)
(Nonetheless, this power is amazing. The Warframe has physical capabilities far beyond a human's.)
(It is good to believe in one's own strength but take care not to let become arrogance operator.)
(Duly noted.)
After their exchange, Alan reverted back to his human form. When he first found Volt, he touched the pod and the thing he knew, Alan was Volt. He didn't know
whether it was a suit of armor or if he was assimilated by the Warframe. All he knew, was that he could be Alan or he could be Volt but never both at the same
time. But it didn't matter to him, Alan just thought that this was very convenient.
When he got off the bus, he heard the warning sirens going off throughout the city. It was ten minutes before ten pm, before curfew started. Alan walked briskly
to his house and was throwing off his sneakers when curfew finally started.
"Cutting it a little too close there, son." Alan's dad frowned as Alan walked by the living room.
"What can I say dad? I'm in high school." Alan shrugged his shoulders.
"Uh huh, just make sure I don't have to pick you up one morning at the station."
"Well, they'd have to catch me first."
Alan went in to his room and started to browse his computer to see what was up during the several hours he didn't check. Almost immediately, his attention was
captured by an article.
He immediately locked his door and shuttered his blinds. When that was done, he concentrated and the next thing he knew, he was Volt again.
(Cephalon, these are they?)
(Yes, operator. They are indeed other Warframes.)
The article had a still from a video and in it were five figures.
(What are their names?)
(From left to right, they are Loki, Mag, Excalibur, Ember, and Nyx.)
(Says here they stopped a bank robbery hours ago.)
Curious, Alan played the video, which started with footage from inside the bank. The video was at an angle where the entire bank could be seen, except for the
back. The five gunmen had big red circles around them, as if one hadn't noticed them being the only people with guns around. They were pacing back and forth
while the hostages were all lying face down on the ground.
All of a sudden, a bright flash engulfed the area. From what could be seen in the footage, one man got kicked in to his comrade and another tackled the man
besides him. All five started to get up after the confusion, when they were suddenly pulled outside. Alan paused there and addressed the Cephalon again.
(Thoughts? What abilities did they use?) Alan was curious at what kind of analysis the Cephalon would provide, if any.
(From my knowledge of those frames and their powers, this is what I suspect occurred. The flash was probably from Excalibur, which blinded the attackers and
allowed them to attack. One man was kicked forward, and since it was only him, I believe it was Loki who did that. Since, Loki is the only one of them who has
invisibility as an ability and invisibility is the most likely explanation. One man tackled another, it was unprompted and barring any other information about this
situation, it was most likely due to Nyx's mind affecting abilities. In the end, all five men were in front of the entrance and pulled out side by some unseen force
. This can only be attributed to Mag's abilities and since it targeted all of them, it was Loki and not Mag who kicked the man earlier.)
(Their teamwork is impressive, but weren't there five of them? Why didn't Ember do anything?)
(Her specific set of abilities would have more than likely incinerated everything in the area.)
(So, they know when to not use a hammer. I guess I'll have to brush up on their abilities later.)
(Operator, taking in to account various factors, I would strongly advise against taking any hostile action towards this group.)
(Well, I guess I won't be robbing banks anytime soon then.)
Alan hit play again and the video cut to the five Warframes standing in front of the cops. The one called Excalibur stepped forward and started to speak in a
distorted voice.
"Please, do not be afraid. We are humans just like you. We are survivors of the Skyfall incident. When we woke up, we found that we had abilities unlike any
seen before. We live in the city just like you and just want it to be safe again. So, we will keep the city safe whenever it can't help itself. I know there are others
like us out there and I implore you to join our cause. But if you should find yourself at odds with us, we will not hesitate to use force. I am Excalibur and I
declare that we Warframes here, will be the sword of justice!"
(Great, just what I need. Some justice spouting idiot. Does this count as arrogance Cephalon? He just announced us to the whole bloody world!)
Alan knew deep down that the world would find out about the Warframes one day, but he couldn't believe that it was so soon. He had hoped that he would be
very well off or at least attain a strong position in the world by the time this happened.
(Excalibur. I hope you don't come to regret those words of yours.)
AN: If you have any questions, I will try to answer them. If its about formatting, I'm new to this site so some help there would be appreciated.
