Chapter 5: the Forbidden gateway

In the clan dojo

After being in the subconscious world, Cobius finds himself yet again in a different place as light shining in front of him, but this time he was somewhere he's familiar with, as Cobius lifts himself up he sees that he's now at his clan's tenno lab.

Rubbing his helmet he "Urgh man what a headache, but at least I'm back home at least."

He remembers the dream or whatever he had when he was unconscious.

1st. was the meeting with the so-called hybrid named Riebica Diane Deona. she was a mysterious woman that he encountered when he woke up from a different realm. she was an odd woman with mysterious origins, not even the lotus ever heard of her. she helped Cobius getting back here.

2nd was meeting Wing commander of the 501st joint fighter wing Minna, a witch from a different world she was transported there coincidently alongside Cobius

During his time there he gained A New ability that doesn't match with his warframe powers, but was Minna's ability that she has that allows her to pinpoint and Identify any hostile and allies from distances, but in order to have access to that ability, he has to call Minna's familiar.

"Man it felt like a dream back there. hmm, if I can do it from there why not here?"He thought as he decided to try something to see if it was a dream.

As he began taping in the magic, He was met with an orange light as his Pelt disappears then a blue aura surrounded him as the familiar ears and tail came to view, "So it really wasn't a dream, after all, I Actually have magic in me. I better get to the others, I'm thinking that they missed me already." mumbled Cobius as he got off of the table, leaving the tenno lab to collect his gear. As he sensed someone in the room, and to his relief, it was none other than Teshin.

"Teshin? This is unexpected for you to be in a tenno dojo, especially to this one."

"Feeling well captain?"

"Yeah, I actually feel more than well, *Familiar then disappears* more powerful actually." said cobius in which teshin nods.

"I see, Well then you must know what's going on then?" Asked teshin with Cobius shocked his head.

"No, I haven't Tell me."

"Ever since you were asleep, things have turned for the upcoming worse, your team has been assigned by your lotus to investigate those drones from regor's labs on earth."

'So we're still looking into those things...'

"I see so what does that have to do to now?"

"It seems that the lotus abandoned the tenno."

"Lotus? she would never abandon us like that," said Cobias he tries contacting her but to no luck as her connection was unavailable.

"And yet she did, Captain she's hiding something from you and the tenno, she knows something that she doesn't want you to know." Said Teshin as he sees cobius in thought, teshin knew the lotus won't protect them from their past forever when the time came, and now the time for him to educate them to know what they're up against.

"But this is way off. why would she just left without us knowing?"

"She did when your team went investigating for the same disturbance from Uranus, by that time your private stayed behind to look after you before he too along with vestro left also."

"I see, what happened to Rico and them when I was gone?"

" The squad went hunting for the same drone that came from sealabs, there the found out that the drone was an oculist, that's when the lotus left and I stepped in."

"So that what's happening right now, but I still don't understand. we need to understand the situation more if we're gonna find out what lotus has gone to."

"And that is why you and the other tenno must help me seek the truth to all of this; help me and reveal what the Lotus is hiding."

Cobius out this in thought, when he first met the lotus, he was found in the tropical region on earth that was overrun by the infested at the time. She guided him throughout the way to escape the hoard and to obtain an orbiter to escape.

Since then he served the lotus from then on without any questions or objections, but after an incident corresponded 2 years back he slowly starting to question lotus of her actions a little, as there was supposed to be another way to stop it from happening.

"Alright Teshin I'll help you with your investigation, but to be clear for how'll we're doing this, me, my squad, and a few others I've worked with will do this, this assignment sounds risky and probably gonna get someone killed who isn't properly trained, so I don't want others being involved and another reason so they won't cause an uproar for what we find."

"Very well, I have confidence with your skills captain, You and your squad will make it out safely." Said Teshin as he Gotten serious.

" The ghost your squad saw was a dark menace long thought destroyed from the old age, I need you to head to a grineer ship around Saturn, there was a huge spike of grineer activity there and to find data that I seek, Get your squad ready for departure, they await you in the grand hall."

"But what about whats in those consoles you'll just hide something from us like the lotus."

"Do not doubt me, Tenno. unlike the lotus, I will not keep the secrets from you or the rest of your team." Teshin then went to the door to leave, but before he got out he turned towards cobius. When he saw Cobius having animistic parts sprout out of his head and hips, he could've sworn that the style was familiar to him.

"That thing you did before, where did you obtain those features?"

Coin paused for a moment before he spoke. " Don't Remember that much, I can't really explain it really, I just had it."

Teshin gave a stern frown. "Just Remember, The power you obtained is no power that the tenno shouldn't have. it is the yin to the voids yang. But I believe you'll need this on your journey.

but remember, as you grow used to that power, Never believe it as your own." With what he said he left the Lab with a confused cobius as to what he's saying.

"Never believe it as my... Own? How does he know about witches magic? looks like the lotus isn't the only one that has questions that need answers anymore." Said cobius as he left the room to meet up with his Team who probably up to some shenanigans now.

Meanwhile at the upper-floors of the grand hall...

"So do you wanna borrow my Lethal torrent for that Split chamber Rico?" Asked Nelijah as he and Rico are trading their stuff.

"Well yeah, with that on my Grackatas can fire faster and can split the rounds into two, besides you need this for your buzlok. it will come in handy when the battle gets surreal you know?" Said, Rico, as he waiting for his Teammate to accept the trade.

"why ask me? Orande has a buzlok as well, he probably needs it more than me. why not ask him?

"I've asked orande the same thing, but he said he already has that mod on already, so I'm asking you for it, do we have a deal?" said Rico waiting for Nelijah.

"Deal, but I want it back after this." then Nelijah accepted the trade giving them both what they want.

"Alright you two you up there, the captain Is coming, so come down here so we can welcome him!" shouted Edward as he and the rest of the squad were lying in wait.

"Alright MOM." joked Rico as he snickered along with Nelijah.

"Cant you just say we're coming and head down there?" Nelijah said

"When your the best, sometimes you just gotta have some time to fool around sometimes you know?"

"Whatever you say, Sergent."

Then Rico and Nelijah jumped down to the ground to meet with the others. When they joined the group, the door opened up revealing the captain alive and well, "Captain, we've been waiting." said Edward as they walked towards him.

"Welcome back to the world of the living. Cobi"

"Sup guys, don't suppose you all miss me that much don't you?"

"Yep"

"maybe"

"well"

"No.."

The group laughed it off when Edward says the last part, including himself.

"Well I miss you guys too, so did Teshin fill you in what's our next mission yet?"

" Yes, we're heading to a grineer ship that has some messages that Teshin needs."

"Alright, we'll head straight there immediately, let's go."

" But captain you just woke up in a short coma, are y-"

"I'm fine Rico, don't worry about it too much sergeant, Nelijah you stay here and call up some tenno I've marked on my list, everyone else is with me. the sooner we finish this, the earlier we can get a day off of duty." Said Cobius as the group followed him to their ships.

Meanwhile at Titania Uranus

The grineer have been searching and scavenging around the gate room for at least a day and all they found was old orokin artifacts that were lying around the room that wasn't in high value but could fetch a penny for a treasure hunter, so regor invited Sargus ruk and along with his scavenge group, they collected them and beginning to depart.

"These orokin technology has a high value for the queens. But this gate you speak of over there, why does it interest you enough? a scientist that works on cloning?" said Sargus ruk as he and regor see the progress of the grineer.

"Its simple ruk, this gate is quite special, other than those gates that lead to orokin towers or another place in our system, this gate has something different towards it, I've run scans of it and it's a mix of void and get this an unknown power source combined, plus it activates randomly, making it difficult to even know what it does."

"Does this energy have a feeble positive reading to it.?"

"As much as I scanned it, all results turn out negative there's no energy source in the origin system that has that signal."

"What kind of other energy be within the gate?"

"Who knows? probably a new system or somewhere in the void or maybe a void tower, who knows maybe its-."

As Regor talked they heard a sudden loud noise as the gate activated on its self and the gate turned blue.

"*groan* and right in the nick of time." said regor as he and ruk went down the steps, ruk who was now standing right in front of the gate was astonished towards its beauty and majestic due to the runes it has within.

"So, this is the anomaly that has caught your interest."

"Indeed, although this is the 2nd time this thing activated, the first time it activated when I step on a pressure plate." Regor then pointed at an empty canister from his right. "its all because of some crystals that came out of there, meaning theirs some connection between them and this gate, when I tried to examine them more, the gate went ha-wired along with the crystals, one when far away into Uranus' s depths while the second one went inside the gate causing it to deactivate on-"

As regor explained what happened, there was a loud ear piercing screech that came out echoed around the room causing all activities to cease and focus their attention on the gate,

"What the world was that?" said regor bluntly but cautious as he saw whats happening in front.

the blue color of the rune faded as it turned crimson red with distorted sounds coming out of it, the demonic-like chants came out of them brought chills to the grineer.

Regor was confused why did it turned dark red as the rune changed.

something wasn't right.

"Any idea what's going on, regor?"

"Trouble*Looks at a butcher from the control room upstairs* You up there! find out what's going on immediately or i-"

suddenly a bright red beam shoots out of the portal. those who came in contact with the beam where immediately vaporized by the second it contacted the armor of the lancers.

But soon more beams shoot out of the gate, the troops scattered around reaching for cover until the lasers died down.

regor and ruk where behind the solid stairs when the sounds of energy died down but not the gate.

"What happened?..." Said regor as he looked towards the butcher from the room."

"(I don't know, the machine when on by itself I'm trying to deactivate it but it won't shut down, the computer is detecting something large coming in fast!)"

"What?!"

[Play: shaded truths from kingdom hearts: birth by sleep]

Before regor could ask what it is, there was screech and groan that wasn't robotic nor infested, the large figure appeared halfway towards the portal half of its body still in the gate, the thing was an aircraft like object almost a quarter size of the room they are in, it was black with hexagon patterns on it with some parts where red parts of the hexagons was on it's front and it's sides.

"What in the world is THAT!?" Shock ingulfed regor as he couldn't witness what he's seeing, but soon broke out of shock and grabs his kracken from his waist.

"KILL THAT THING, DON'T LET IT LEAVE THIS THING ALIVE!" shouted regor as he pulls the trigger from the shotgun pistol. the grineer wasted no time as they began firing at the plane like object, it groans and screeches as it was firing against it, the red hexagons turned blood red as it seems that it's preparing to fire as the red laser beams from earlier has come out of, regor and ruk luckily rolling out of the way right before the objects weapons where able to hit them, the grineer where able to stand clear out of the way from fire while others didn't.

The grineer where able to deal heavy damage with the bombards and napalms, affecting the object from constant bombarding leaving cracks and damaged shell before them, before the grineer could kill it any second, the plane like thing injected a small pink colored light as it went straight out of the room unnoticed, the figure then exploded into specs of white particles,

The aftermath of the situation was that some of regors and ruk's marines were wiped out, the damage of the object has made a few destroyed artifacts that ruk seeks leaving only a few to take. Regor was furious with that object has done to his little operation.

[music stops]

"*Sigh* looks like we have much to learn, TUBEMEN, PREPARE THE SENTRY TURRETS, WE WON'T BE HAVING ANY MORE SURPRISES NOR GUESTS IN HERE!"

"you will take care of things here, I must leave; I have other business I must do," said Sargus ruk as he and his grineer set off with the artifacts while others stayed to gather more but then leave also afterward.

"This place keeps getting me the chills, but this is the discovery of a lifetime, and I won't let nothing of the unknown stop me, I'm heading back to the other ." Said regor as he walked away from the room.

Little did regor know that a spy drone has been recording the whole place with its red hues faded to Orange as it's sending the information to the site and to its corpus creators.

Meanwhile in the Liset outside of the Sedna...

with a flash of light, Cobi came back to his ship, his pet kubrow came full speed at him as he picked her up.

"Hey, girl, sorry I'm a little late, too complicated." Said Cobius he brushed the Raska kubrow's fur as she happily growls.

"Operator? my stars you're alive!, when a fellow cephalon says that you were dead, I almost Self-destruct my self, but then the lieutenant gave me the truth, *sigh* Ordis is ~TRICKED ON BELIEVING~ Relived that you're alive." Said Ordis as Cobius lay down the kubrow and head to the arsenal.

"Thank you ordis, but now is not the time to relax just yet we have another mission yet again, but this time it is serious." Said Cobius as he stepped into the panel, scrolled down and equipped his Tigris.

"So where are we heading to know if I might ask?"

"We're heading north-west of here, Teshin has located a ship with some Intel that the grineer has," said Cobius as he went navigation with his squad's ship behind him.

"Alright Tenno, its very simple, get the data, kill some grunts along the way and get out."

"I Like the sound of that plan captain." Said Vector as electric sparks emitted from his hands.

"We're in it to win it now." Said Rico cracking his knuckles.

"My blade is ready for battle, I will unleash them on your signal Cobius." Said, Edward, as he unsheathes his D. nikana.

"Don't blink boys, your gonna miss when I eighty-six them with fast hot lead," said Marie as she spins her marlok.

"Alright, people then it begins now." Said Cobius as his ship propelled forward with the others following.

Act 5

As the tenno boarded the ship, They easily eluded the outside security systems, as they dropped down from the vents, they hid themselves as a group of lancers where patrolling as one of them thought they saw something as it walked toward the scene, but was killed easily with a quick snap in the neck by Rico and pulled away from sight. as they began to leave one of them spoke up.

"(Wait for my bothers, somethings not right here.)"

"(what is it now?)"

"(Someones missing from the group, where's De'zes?)"

the lancer turned around and see nothing in sight but a grakata, the leader then walk towards the gun and examined that there's a blood stain on it meaning that one of his troops is now dead due to the blood being fresh.

"(The Tenno are here, inform troops to be on guard, they cant be that far.")

After the marines rushed towards the door alarming the rest that they have intruders, with the grineer now gone the tenno proceeded to the location they were set in to go.

"So guys, about that drone thing do anyone have any idea what it is?" asked Rico as reached to the first panel as Cobius begins to hack.

"Maybe the corpus has something to do with this?"

"Vector, do you really think that they will make a humanoid robotic like that and look transparent? this is way off of their technology league."

"I want to know also, But it seems like Tyl regor, has something to do with this and whatever it is, isn't good for anyone."

Edward turned to the chroma with confusion.

"You think that Regor's behind this?"

"Guys think about it, Regor's is operating in the shadows to create More of those clones, plus the added fact that he's helping Sargus ruk with his treasure hunting expedition down in those underwater depths, which equals a plot that they are planning."

"And it's up to us to stop what they're planning." Said the boasted vector.

"Exactly my friend, I've got the data but it looks like it's in pieces, there's got to be a few more panels to locate into" said Cobius as the tenno continue running inside the ship killing unsuspecting enemies from cover, as they approach the door Cobius stopped as they where in front of door at the end of the hallway.

"Hold up guys, somethings not right in there."

"What? I don't see nothing, how bad can it be." Said Vector as he stands to the door proceeding to enter, immediately, cobius ran towards vector as he grabbed onto vector's syandana and pulled him out of the way and slammed him on the left side of the wall right before a storm of bullets came flying at him that could cause him his death.

"whew thanks, cap, you really save my ass right there, but can you ease up with the tugging."

"you can thank me later but we might have a problem here, Rico look in there and see what's going on in there." Said cobius

Rico nods and took a quick peek in there right before pulling back into cover. " The place is dark I cant see nothing."

"Cant we just sneak in there and take them out," said Marie as she too looked in there but moved back.

"But then we gonna have to get our flashlights in making them have an advantage towards us Marie, we need to make this ."

"Man we need an ivara in here."

"Well, I have an Idea, Rico can you use your ironskin to divert their attention to you, then vector you then use your shock ability to stun them, as they being shocked then Marie can finish them off with her peacemaker." Said Cobius receiving nods from all three of them.

Rico first activated his iron skin, as the ferrite metal covered him head to toe he headed first followed by vector behind him as the door opened the turrets and the sounds of grakatas began to fire upon the tank, who worries that his armor starting to wear off. "Zippy, anytime now!"

"Yeah, Yeah I'm on it." vector then high jumps away from the turrets as they were trained on Rico, Vector then struck a high powered shock that sends thousands of volts flying toward the turrets and into the grineer troops. But luckily one of them was near a power cable that was connected to the room turning the power back on.

"That's my Que!"

Marie then ran towards Rico and hopped on his shoulder bring her up in the air, her hidden pistols flicked up as her mindset in focus. the guns pointed in the direction where the now 15 grineer are stunned she began to spin as bullets fired around her as her rounds hit their spots killing the grineer troops one by one.

with a graceful landing, Marie folded her hidden pistols away "And that is how you put your skills put to good use and took those guys single-handedly." said Marie as cobius went up to the terminal and proceed to hack into the networks.

"Hey if it wasn't for me for stunning those guys and activating the power you would be shooting in pitch black darkness and would've been Swiss cheeses by those turrets."Said vector as Marie has a cartoonish pulsing in her helmet.

"oh yeah, with that childish attitude like that, no wonder why you where held back by Leo, cause you never suck up your discipline, which is no wonder why Edward never bother to train you."

"Oh, what did you just say? I hope you ain't picking a fight cause I can make you disappear like-"

"Alright break it up you two, we'll settle this when we head back the dojo." Said cobius as Vector and Marie agreed to finish their argument later.

"Alright, captain you got anything?"

"The contents there but everything is in pieces, c'mon The last one should be on the far back in the ship, let's go." the tenno then proceeded to the ship with their mission in the final stretch.

Meanwhile on Neptune

The Snowy mountains of the giant planet are the home of the few corporations of the corpus and home to CEO of anyo corp: Nef anyo.

"I want those data on the drones hours ago, whats taking them so long?!" shouted anyo banging on his computer board. A crewman came on board and breathing heavy. "{ Mr. Anyo sir, we have the location of the tomb that sergeant Tyl regor is hiding.}"

"About time I've been waiting for this, errr who are you again?"

"{its jimmy sir.}"

"Riiight, "Jimmy" so what is it that you have?" asked anyo as the crewman name Jimmy gave the long thin piece of metal, as anyo hold it, the screen pops upward revealing its contents.

"So regor has a little playground for himself and being stingy about it I cannot let the grineer take an advantage of their findings, *he pressed a button on his couch and revealed a cup of frostleaf tea and took a sip of it* crewman prepare the troops, we're gonna capture an outpost of the sealabs." Said anyo as the crewman prepares to leave when he was at the door a drone appeared by the door as the crewman step aside to let it in before leaving. the drone then went up to anyo with robotic sounds, "Oh so your back already I see, so found any weaknesses in the sealabs interior?" the drone the ln pull up the screen revealing the contents. "Very good, regor won't seen it coming as his little project will go down the drain hmhmhmhm."

the drone wasn't done as it pulled another screen revealing another thing it found.

"Hmmm you have more?...hm a video I see...a void gate? how on earth is there one on Uranus? regor has found a discovery there and looks like sargus ruk is there too along with his scavenge party, but it looks off...ohhh what we have here it- What? the portal changed color now its blue...Runes? what kind of trickery is this no gate can do that...Now it changes to red...Lasers? and potent too, this is no orokin technology right there and-*anyo did a spit-take on the footage which passes through the holo-screen and splatter onto the drone which buzzes in disapproval* WHOA! What the hell is that thing?! I never saw anything like that before, that black thing is no orokin tower sentries...hmm what was that pink light shooting out of that thing?"

Anyo sit in silence from he saw. the gate, the rune, then the object. Regor has discovered something that holds a mystery of the orokin was hiding in there. if so he needs to find out himself. he then presses a button on his seat. "Hey Jimmy, seizing control of the on the sealabs can wait, theirs been a slight change of plans on what we're doing." said anyo as he smirked with glee.

Meanwhile back on the grineer ship.

As the tenno reached to the final panel they entered to the engine room as Cobi entered the room, he unknowingly tripped a command to the reactors as they began to speed up slowly, as cobius approached the final panel and began hacking.

"Watch my back guys once I upload to the data to teshin's communication we can leave this place." The group nodded as they looked back at the door away as the marines started flooding in, one by one the grineer were gunned down, blasted, electrocuted, burned, and turned to dust. with a loud *Beep* Cobius finished downloading the files and joined the others as he placed a few shots towards the grineer.

Little did they know the engines began to spin rapidly as it turns bright yellow, vector threw his castanas at a shield lancer as it advanced towards him, he detonates them but failed as the sparks did not reach the grip of the lancer as he was knocked back towards the panel hitting his back as he grunted.

"Ahh fuck that hurt." said vector as he looked up at the twin engines, his sensors were blaring as the engines levels wherein critical ready to explode any second. "Captain! We need to leave now! The engines are going critical!" said vector as the others quickly turn towards him, Rico used his rhino charge as he rammed the troops away. "RUN!"

With the ship's engines overloading itself the tenno quickly ran through the corridors of the ship calling their ships to extraction point, gears and rubble rained down and soon metal ferrite beams started pouring from ceilings and gas pipes rupturing as hot steam hissed through the crack., Many grineer escaped through escape pods, but some others must be kept their duties as fleeing means death to them from higher ranks, the tenno made quick work to them as they pushed through.

They then came to the room as their ships were up and ready to take them out.

"There's Our way out c'mon!" Shouted cobius as they were nearly next to the exit, then 6 ferrite beams started falling down above Rico, Knowing this Vector used his speed to tackle Rico out the way before beams fall down on him as dust covers the area. Rico who was pushed off quickly got up and ran towards vector shouting his Name.

"Don't worry I got you!" shouted Rico as he grabbed one of the beams and proceed to pull the bars out of the way,"Guys!, help me out here! vector is in trouble!"

The others turned around to help them, as they got near them the ship began to rumble and shake, they quickly knew what that meant: the fires have reached to the ship's fuel supply and napalm blast began to flood the ship incinerating the ship's crew.

They don't have much time.

"C'mon guys pull, 1-2-3-Pull!" said Rico As he, cobius, Edward, Marie,orande and Nelijah began to pull out the metal beams off of vector and pulled him out.

As they carried Vector to one of their ships.

"Vector are you ok? C'mon talks to me man," said Rico as he and Edward carried him.

"Yeah I'm ok, barely, its just that I cant fell my waist bottom. is that normal?"

"Yeah well earn yourselves some stripes before you can play hero."

the others called their ships as a blast of napalm came to collect their lives. everything began to slow as tenno where defenseless to elude the blast, but when they look back from their surprise one person was keeping the blast from burning them alive.

It was cobius with his pelt striped off before with the same animal ears on his head and back torso, his arms reached out as an orange Rune acting as a shield blocking the napalm waves.

The others that witnessed what he did were surprised to cobius' sudden change as to how he able to obtain that form from before.

"Urgh, Guys I don't know why the hell you standing around for but you better get to your ships now! I don't know how much longer I can hold this!" shouted cobius as he was blocking the flames. The group didn't ask no questions as they opened the airlocks by shooting at it, "Come on Captain we got an exit!" shouted Marie as she, Rico, Edward, Nelijah, Orande, And the injured Vector jumps out of the ship than entered to their own ships, Cobius then move back some as the flames he's blocking is starting to wear him down as the shields starting to fade as his given magic was starting to run out.

He took the risk as he took down his shield as he reverted back, He made a mad dash to the broken air look and flew down from the ship to before the flame could burn him, he was drifting in space holding on his life as his ship came out of stealth mode and vacuumed him inside to the cockpit then made its escape as the large grineer ship was blown up.

"Teshin this is cobius, we have everything we came here, heading back to the dojo now."

"[Fine work pupil, You seem to have control of the holy power you have shared, but remember: don't think of it as your own or it may lead to your misfortune captain.]"

"Don't worry, I've remembered what you said and accounted it." said cobius as teshin left transmission as the others pop in.

"Alright cap, we got questions we want answers to, what happened when you touch that crystal, and where in the world did you have that Rune-shield thing at?" said Rico as the others agreed.

"I'll explain it once we head back ok Rico?"

Mission accomplished


At the dojo in the observatory room

"I see you all have returned to obtain what I seek. But unlike your Lotus, I will not keep its secrets from you. here's what you uncovered." teshin then tap a few keys revealing the message which came from Regor himself.

[INTERCEPTED MESSAGE: Tyl Regor Sgt. Scur-

Do you want to know why they are here? Cause I found it! The tomb! They should all be dead... trapped inside - but these ones are not, why?

Be brave, Scur, for your brothers, sick and twisted in the tubes! New ideas are within our reach that could cure us all. Send the Draga to reinforce the location we discussed.

Scur, if you saw too many words I'm sorry, I forgot who I was writing to, so assuming you just read the big letters...

SEND DRAGA-KILL TENNO-HELP BROTHERS]

"A tomb? all be dead? just what did Regor found down there..." Said Edward folding his arms

"For all we know it could know is that he found an orokin super weapon within those waters."

"Then we have to act fast then before they retrieve what, By the way, where is Vestro? we need everyone on this." said cobius as he looked around the room.

"Vestro has left to seek out the acquainted target, it may know where Regor is." said teshin as the tenno cheered.

"ALRIGHT! all its left now is to wait, let me know when vestro come back." Said Marie as she begins to leave, but Vector used his speed to catch up to the mesa and grabbed her shoulder. "Whoa, not so fast gunslinger. There's someone in here that has to explain something for us." said vector as he pointed at cobius.

"Your right, back at the grineer ship when we were picking up the injured vector, the napalm flames would've burned us like charcoal, but then you just ran in front of us and use that rune-shield thing to block those flames, and there those grey animal ears and tail after your pelt dissolved, no chroma or other warframes has that kind of ability its abnormal," said Edward as he walks up to cobius.

"Captain, You better not keep this from us, what was that and what happened to when you in the short coma?" cobius remained silent till he gave a sigh.

"Alright then, but I must warn you though its crazy and you might think otherwise."

"Well that depends on how absurd it will be," said Rico as he folded his arms.

"Alright then, when I touched that thing, I was taken to..."

Later on Titania Uranus

Tyl regor along with the other grineer had finished secured the room with the turrets were aimed at the blown entrance and the now-closed gate, Regor wasn't going to have another surprise.

Regor was tapping into the gate's systems but it all turned to Errors and deleted the codes that Regor put in, Fed up Regor smashed his right hand onto the wide Keyboard angrily "URGH! This useless piece of Orokin trash! what should I do to activate the portal? I gave it the orokin codes like the other gates but it keeps rejecting them! what so special about this one that it doesn't belong to them?" as Regor continued tampering with the computer, the grineer sirens blurting out in alarm.

"Anyone status report whats going on out here?!"

"[its the corpus sir there sending ships heading towards our location!]

"Have every tube_men and Ruk's grineer troops come around this area and have every nearby lab to be armed and ready! I can smell a void enthusiast who's interested in what we've found."


Meanwhile back at the Tenno dojo observatory room

[play: thunder plains from Final Fantasy X [Remastered version]

After cobius gave them the full rundown of the situation to his friends and teammates they stood silent listening to his story.

"And after she sent us off I awoke back to where we came from and the rest is up to here." Said cobius as he waited for them to respond to his story.

Rico then speaks, "OK let me recount, you said you were transported to some world other than ours but really a boundary, a bridge that links to ours and the other one?" Cobius nodds "there you met someone named Riebica Diane Deona who proclaimed to a watcher then leaded you to her home which is a mansion?"

"That's right."

"While she left you explored this house of hers, upon heading to one of the rooms you meet with another guest in that mansion named...er... Minna d. wilcke who said to be a Witch?"

"what like ones that have brooms and a black hat, and a wand that cast spells, that kind of witch?" said Vector.

"No, Not that kind of Witch zippy, he said shes one that can use magic, unlike us who we use void to pull off our abilities," said Nelijah correcting vector.

"Continuing, apparently the witches are similar to us in some way, and there are only girls can use magic?"

"Yes, that's what Minna said so, apparently there fighting in a war of their own."

"And they're called Necroi?"

"Neuroi, she said they came from nowhere and started attacking, but to get back on topic, we talked and then went to look for deona, when we do find her she was attacked by some Creature and I took it down with Minna's power."

"And when you mean by the power you mean that thing you did back on the ship?"

"A Familiar yes." said cobius as his pelt disappeared and the Minna's familiar sprouted out in orange energy. "Now do you believe me, guys?"

Everyone stood silent, even though cobius had shown proof of what he's been through they still haven't understood of how Cobi obtain the unusual power nor how its related to the current situation there dealing with.

"Alright but how is this-" then teshin spoke up.

"All answers will reveal in this upcoming battle, I can assure you it won't be left in the dark, for now, we need to-" suddenly the screen began opening up revealing an angry lotus.

"TESHIN! You have no authority over this! stand down now you're endangering the tenno!"

"So then, the pedals now open once more, why reveal your self?"

"Lotus, were where you? you just cut us all off after what we just found on earth, why what happened back there?" said Orande.

"I had to cover my tracks, but I see that teshin has led you to more danger than before."

"We had to help Teshin lotus, while you were gone Teshin temporary had to take over for you to prevent the other tenno from panicking."

"And I'm grateful for it, but the situation will be a wide threat to all of us."

"And what of this threat that you fear?" Asked Nelijah as lotus tilt her head down a little.

"The sentient."

"Ah, so you know this one don't you?"

"The sentient? That cant be possible, they were destroyed in the old war how can they be alive?"

"Someone has been tampering with their tomb down in the depths of Uranus, they going to be awakened soon, we don't have much time we hav-."

the alarms blared out as the screen chimed in as Nelijah looks at the monitor.

"There's an invasion going on: its a corpus siege in Uranus, 15 ships heading in Uranus's atmosphere."

"its probably for territory, nothing really important right now."

"While we're speaking about Uranus, theirs something we want to show you lotus, I'll be right back," said Edward as he sprinted out then came back with the small canister.

"Hey, I and vestro are still examining that thing," said Orande as Edward walk up to the screen.

"Back when we were in Uranus we were attacked by one of the drones, then suddenly Some white light then strikes through the thing killing it, so I want to know if you know this thing." Rico then opened it up revealing the white crystal, the lotus gave a quiet gasp at the thing as Edward continued.

"When cobius touched it, he obtained what he said was called a familiar before passing out," said Edward as the familiar dissipated and cobius's pelt reconstructed on his body.

"That..That cant be possible, I thought they were destroyed long ago." said lotus in utter belief.

"So you know about this then?" the lotus was quiet. then spoke with no other choice but to answer.

"Yes i know what it is, it's...it is a Ragonite crystal, back in the Old war, a group orokin scientist had been creating ways to elude and to combat the sentients, when one accidentally discovered a phenomenon outside of the void, a solidification of void and another source outside of the system what later to be known as magic, they planned to weaponize it but it failed to deal such damage. that wasn't until it created a portal that leads to a world untainted by their rule. but the orokin soon found out they have individuals that have abilities of their own and were feared because of it then it was named The Forbidden world, before the fall, they destroyed the duplicated copies of the crystals and hid the gateway to the world. Now I fear the situation has gone bad to worse, if Regor has found the tomb then he has found the gateway to the world."

"Then that means we have to stop Regor and destroy the gateway then?"

"Yes, And it can also explain why the corpus is targeting Uranus, now that the corpus is targeting the gate-way, I fear the situation is now far worse than now, I'll have to risk exposure for this, leave now and I'll tell you what you need to do there." then lotus shut herself off."

"Then that means our jobs not yet done lets head there now, let's all meet up outside of the dojo in 10 minutes." said cobius as the others nodded.

[Music end]

"Roger!" they all left the observatory at the grand hall preparing to enter Uranus. as everyone left to their ships, vector and Rico caught up cobius.

"yo Cobi, if you have some time, can I ask you something?"

"Sure Rico, what you wanna ask?"

"Is there a chance that I might get powers like yours?, After hearing your story I'm quite interested in having additional powers as well, to give me a proper edge," asked Rico as cobius mentally jumped from the question.

"Yeah that stunt back there was awesome that I want, what can it do also?"

"Well, Rico other than the shield I can also pinpoint target positions and identify them in detail."

"So enemy identification? that's kinda lame."

"I ain't done yet, it also reveals to me where they're at and its surroundings."

"A radar functionality is still lame, ivaras can detect enemy's from the radar, it's no different from that." said vector as Rico agrees.

"But I can also predict what the person or thing's gonna do next."

"Yeah right like you can actually do something like that is impossible

"Alright then I'll prove it to you then." said Cobi as the familiar sprouted out, "...It seems that vestro came back along with the target of his, he'll be coming in front of the hall probably going to greet us. But...see that crack on the ceiling up there? it will be seeping out clear oil and the target will walk in front of it sliding and fall into that fish tank over there, and vestro will laugh at that stunt, just before he slips and fall."

"Isn't that much to begin which captain?"

"We'll soon find out Rico in 4.3.2 and..."

As on cue Cobi pointed at the door vestro possibly be coming at and sure enough, he was right, the target came first hands tied up as vestro grabs him by the shoulder.

"Yo guys, guess what I catch under the ocean labs!" Shouted vestro as he pushed the target, but failed to realize there was a small puddle of oil as the grineer stumbled towards the puddle zipped through the room and fell in fish tank as a large plash echoed around the room as vestro laugh his pants off of what transpired in front of him and Vector was a silent they looked up and sure enough its a small crack between the lights that's dripping out a clear-liquid like substance as droplets plopped down.

"Shit I didn't notice that spot when we came back here," Rico whispered to Vector.

"Same here, and by the size of the crack up there, its been there recently. How in the world did Cobi know where it was? even he cant see .." vector trailed off looking at the captains head as the ears were twitching in amusement. "Do you guys believe me now?"

"HAHAHAHA! OH GOD that was funny!"

"Hey, vestro c'mere for a sec we gotta tell you something."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm comin-GAHH!" as vestro took a step, but didn't know that he's stepping on the clear oil that cobius and the others are staring at as he slipped and fall flat on his stomach.

Rico and Vector roared with laughter for what transpired as cobius gave a quiet chuckle, "That shit was hilarious, good one Cobi."

"Heh, your welcome."

"Hey! if you are done having a laugh fest, help me get up off this mess."

"Yeah, you're on your own here, don't wanna get all greasy on this mission, later vestro cheers." said vector as he zoomed out using speed.

"Hey, all you gotta do is get yourself up slowly and walk down to the other room where the water garden is at. but later vestro; we have an important mission to take care of here. let's go, Rico."

Cobius and Rico both left the room to their ship as Vestro struggles to reach to them.

"Hey guys GUYS What are you doing why are you Punkin out on me!" said vestro as he quickly gets up only to miss his footing and fell down again. "Ugh! this is some slippery oil I ever saw."


In Cobius' cockpit

As cobius entered his ship he first saw is a figure floating, spinning around between the market com: A Zephyr of brown and yellow-leaved descends and stood up.

"Well took you long enough grey-tail, where you been?." Said the Zephyr energetic voice.

"Nice to meet you again, Zuri."

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I already had a rundown to everything from Edward at the back behind, so you would have to."

"Oh, ok'; thanks a lot for the heads up ." said cobius as he whispered the last sentence.

"Hm? Said something captain?"

"Nothing, *Opened his coms to squad* Alright guys were departing right now, so do some quick configurations before we get there."

Seconds later the group gave the ok as they warped towards Uranus, but something began to pop up in cobius thoughts: How did the Lotus know the existence of a gate that leads to another world? its the first time that the group (Except Cobi) knew of such world even existed if so, Do she know the existence of Deona? probably not but there is a possibility she does. But answers will come up in this hopefully.


Titania, Uranus

In the mere hour, the planet became a battleground as Nef anyone's forces began seizing Regor's main lab, laser, gunfire & explosions echoed within the lab as the 2 factions battled out, the major battle was at the void gate room.

Regor was in cover with lancers and a scorcher. "You! Gather up the bombards and head to the second floor and keep them from advancing down here! And you order 2 of them to mount the turrets! don't let them Reach the control room!" Regor barked out orders as the corpus advances towards the entrance.

Regor's com went static till voice chimes in and he knows whose voice it was.

"Tch tch tch, I'm disappointed Reggie, to keep this sort of discovery in the system, you could've won a prize from the corpus if your willing to share your little gate there."

"You think I would just surrender and hand this place over to you Neffy? Don't think I wouldn't forget what happened weeks ago with you along and that jellyfish; thinking that he can come waltzing into my house hoping to find a cure to his deformed body of his."

"And I simply tried to prevent him from returning back to his original self, you were...A mandatory sacrifice."

"Hmph and when you mean to that you meant the Void nef?" said regor as he fired his Kraken at a crewman knocking him back killing him while anyo chuckles.

"Oh you know me so well, *he press the intercoms to the crewman as he held up 2 cards* [Gentleman, the first person to subdue and seize control of the gate will receive a hefty promotion~]

With Annyo's announcement echoed through their heads, the corpus now determined to achieve the higher rankings they steadily advancing and some of them deployed their shield ospreys for good measure, laser fire intensifies as the techs came in with their supras, preventing the grineer from firing back.

"*Groan* And with that little proposition is why the corpus is so eager to risk their lives for "The VOID" only to be lined up to a one-way ticket to the slaughterhouse, find it distasteful for some of them who maybe have a family, pitiful, even I wouldn't put my tubemen in a situation like this." Tyl Regor then rose up and began firing back only for the pistol to jam, he grunts in anger as a Detra shot him in the left chest area.

"If they willing to go down to it, We have the Tantamount to that problem*He pulls out his newly crafted Sidearm: the Kulstar.* We shall deliver their heads to the starving families to their tables ON A SILVER PLATTER!" shouted regor as He pulled the trigger, and three missies shout out and blasted away the front row of the advancing Group.

"Kill every last of those bastards, Then we shall Avenge our brothers for their Assault!" Regor shouted As he attached his ack and brunt and charged at the corpus along with his grineer.

The Fight Continues on.


In the Deep waters, Uranus

Pre-ACT 7

the Dark waters are quiet yet it thrives in small life within the rocks as brightly colored shrooms illuminated the area like a lighthouse in a moonless darkness.

the Ships sank into the water only to rise up as the hidden doorway revealed the groups of people propelling themselves out and equipped the Archwings. they dive themselves through to an underwater entrance which is guarded by a Gunner who hears a purring rumbling noise coming from the water and came closer to inspect the noise.

A hook came out of the water and contacted on its shoulder as it was pulled into the water. gurgling, bubbling sounds were heard until they went silent. and it resurfaces motionless and went adrift away.

Cobius first got outs with his soma at hand searching around the area, when he finishes he calls the group up as Rico, vector, Nelijah, Zuri, Marie, and Edward came out of the waters.

"Well, things are going smoothly," Said vector as walked up towards Cobius as an explosion rang out from above them.

"And there's one hell of a party going on."

"Alright we're here Lotus, what next." said cobius as the lotus appeared in their HUD's.

"With the existence of the gate discovered, we can't let anyone of the 2 sides gets an advantage over the other as either side has the gate in their possession. were going to destroy the gate."

"And how are we going to do that?"

"Teshin had given one of you 5 Detonite Charges to blow the generators and to the circuit room where the orokin terminal for the gate's Activation is located."

"Hey maybe it will be easy after all," said Orande.

"But IT won't be easy, as Regor and some of his highly ranked Drekar Soldiers will be there."

"Great, the more the merrier."

"Alright guys we got our assignments, once we get rid of both the Gate and regor, Vay hek will be next, Let's go," Saidcobi as he and the rest headed towards the Lab where the gate is located.
