Zaho Fesd ran through the Orokin ship as the Corpus advanced, searching for a way to break through the Grineer defenses. He spotted a small opening, where Grineer were only just arriving. He smirked, raising his arm. A silver object shot from his gauntlet and into the midst of the enemy.
The object exploded, sending electricity through each Grineer, destroying everything from the inside out. Zaho continued on, his Feras was almost within reach.
A large door, bigger than even the docking doors of the Corpus flagships, was partially destroyed, and slightly open. He took a deep breath, walking closer and looking through the small opening. It was the perfect size for a Corpus or a Grineer to enter through.
There stood the Feras—arms outstretched—gathering the red liquid form of Kuva. Zaho had been researching the Grineer Queen's long before the Tenno found out about them. He had knowledge like no other Corpus, but no one believed such a thing could exist. The Grineer standing beside the Feras obviously controlled it. From what the Corpus scientist had discovered, nothing truly controlled the Feras. Not even the Orokin. The Grineer were foolish to think they did.
He stepped through the opening, raising his gun, " You don't know what you're doing."
The Grineer quickly turned around, raising their own weapons, " You're too late." said the one that seemed to be in charge. He was bigger than the other Grineer, his armor was also unlike any the Corpus had seen. From a Grineer that is.
Zaho took a step forward, "You think this will end after this? " he asked, trying to figure out a way to take the Feras for himself, "Like we'd allow you to take something like this?"
The Grineer soldier snarled, "We know it will."
The Feras lowered one of its arms, then turned to face the Grineer and the Corpus. A dark red orb of Kuva sat in its hand. The smaller Grineer smiled, walking closer to the beast. The orb of Kuva flew up slightly, then hovered in the air. Without warning, the Feras grabbed the Grineer's neck. Its face opened, showing a red light. The Grineer squirmed in its tight grip. The other Grineer turned to look, a great opportunity.
Zaho fired his weapon, shooting through the Grineer soldiers left arm. He then took cover behind a pillar. He had noticed that the room they stood in, unlike the door, had no damage done to it. No one but them had ever reached it for centuries. The Corpus scientist looked around the pillar, watching as the Feras still held to other Grineer.
It placed its hand on the center of the chest of the Grineer. It forced its hand through his chest, then yanked it out. The Grineer screamed as a bright, golden light was caught in the hands of the Feras.
The Feras leaned closer to the Grineer's face, "Grineer do not deserve the blood of the Orokin." its voice was deep, sending chills through Zaho's spine.
It turned to the scientist, " Corpus, do not deserve the blood of the Orokin! " it exclaimed.
But there was something to it that made Zaho...curious. No Warframe, other than that horrid hunter, had ever spoken. At least to the Corpus' knowledge.
The Feras threw the corpse of the Grineer he held into the wall, then turned to the other. The Grineer soldier stepped back, then shot at the Warframe. But his bullets did no damage.
Zaho stepped out from behind the pillar, laughing as he shot towards the Grineer. The Feras raised its arm, stopping Zaho's bullets, and redirecting them towards him. The scientist quickly dodged.
The Feras continued walking towards the Grineer, then raised its right arm into the air. Golden energy formed, creating the shape of a weapon. The weapon was long and curved, much like a Tenno katana, but it had a brutal design. The form of a lost Orokin weapon surely. The Corpus had discovered Orokin structures across the system, many held weapons like the one the Feras held.
Zaho took a few deep breaths. He would have his weapon no matter the cost. The Grineer rolled to the side as the beast swung its large blade into the ground. Shattering it and making the shards float. It roared, golden ribbons flailing through the air as it dashed. But as it neared the Grineer, it changed directions. Heading towards Zaho.
The Feras split the pillar the Fesd stood beside with a single strike. The Grineer came from behind it, raised his gun, and fired into the back of the Warframe.
Zaho used this opportunity to run to another pillar and prime his weapon. The ZI-flux. He sighed, priming it by pressing a few buttons, then scanning his genetic code. He looked towards the Feras, then to the ball of Kuva floating in the air. It began to grow, slowly but surely. The Grineer's plan was still a mystery to the Corpus.
The Grineer was kicked hard enough to send him flying into the farthest wall of the massive room. Zaho snapped back to the situation at hand. The Feras grabbed onto the pillar and tore it out of place. Zaho dove forward, then turned, pressing the ZI-flux into its chest.
The beast roared again, but was unable to move. Its joints locked, even the ribbons that flowed around it seemed to be frozen in time.
The Grineer stood, cautiously walking over to the Corpus.
He looked slightly down at him, "Corpus," he called waiting to kill him where he stood, "What is this!?"
The Corpus exhaled loudly, "This my horrid friend, is what brains can get you."
The Grineer snarled, "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now."
The scientist looked slightly surprised, "Well, if I die, the Feras will be unleashed once more."
The Feras started to move slightly, little by little. The Kuva forming in the air, flowed back into the Warframe.
Zaho stepped forward, "That wasn't supposed to happen!" he said.
The Grineer aimed his gun at Fesd, "The Kuva!"
The scientist stepped back as the Feras fell to its knees.
A light-teal colored hand was placed on the Corpus' shoulder. He froze, turning around slowly. The fingers of the man's hand were unnaturally long, as was his right arm. His face was more beautiful than any that the Corpus had seen.
The newcomer smiled, "I'll be taking that." he said in a deep, yet soothing voice.
His eyes were white and his teal hair was braided and held in place on top of his head.
He walked over to the Feras, his left side was clothed much less than his right. The right side of his body was adorned in faded white, flowing robes inlaid with gold. He moved his hand over the Feras, creating a white light. The Grineer soldier and the Zaho were forced to cover their eyes because of the intense brightness. And when Zaho opened his eyes, they were gone. Both the Warframe, and the man were gone.
The Grineer simply began walking away, "This isn't over yet, Corpus."
Zaho fell to his knees in front of where the Feras was, reaching his hand out to grasp what was once in front of him, "Orokin."
