So here's the second part of the double update
Disclaimer: Warframe belongs to DE
NO ONE
"GRINEERS! KILL THEM ALL!" Krill yelled while raising his hammer and with that hell broke loose instantly.
The Grineer's then opened fire and Jack used Ice Dome and all eleven of them were instantly protected. The melee units of the Grineer then started hitting the barrier with their Furax, Machete, Cleaver, etc. While the rest of them kept shooting.
"This is not gonna end well for us if we don't do something..." Joe said while looking at Marie
"I have a proposition..." Stalker then said while turning his head to look at Joe "...we put aside our difference for now, the common enemy is right in front of us..."
"Work with you Stalker? We would never work with you, you murderer...you monster!" Jessica said
"Our Master is not a monster." Tiffany said
'I'm not...I'm not...' Stalker thought to himself
"Adam are you hearing this?" Jessica asked furiously while looking at Adam
Adam was just staring at his former love, he had guilt in him and he didn't want to say anything to make him hurt either one of the two girls
'What do I do...' he thought to himself '...I don't want either one of them to hate me...'
'Then...do what you feel is right to survive...' a voice suddenly said and Adam's eyes went wide
'Who's that? Please tell me it's not my Dark Half...'
'Actually it is me...but please listen to what I have to say...' it said
'Why would I listen to you...you used me for almost two years and tried to kill my friends not too long ago.'
'I was foolish...I was immature...please let me atone for what I have done.' it said
'Okay, you have one chance...what should I do then...' Adam asked
'Go with the plan of Stalker, if you go fight two fractions at the same time there's a chance things will go south.' it explained
'The Grineer is the main problem right now...' Adam then looks around, he see's the Grineer cheering as the Ice Dome is slowly breaking. He then saw Jack who's doing all he can to keep the barrier up
'Your team and Stalker's are powerful indeed but it can be overwhelmed by them, plus the fact that Lt. Lech Krill is also present...' it said making the scenario clear for Adam '...but you can overcome that problem if you work side by side...again...do what you feel is right, in order to survive' his Dark Half said.
'That is all I can do for you since I'm bounded in your head...the rest is up to you...again, hopefully one day you will forgive me...' his Dark Half said and it was trying to repent for his past action and Adam was now alone in his head.
'Alright then...' Adam can't believe he was going with his Dark Half's plan '...let's do this...'
Adam then equipped his Melee and pointed the sharp end at Stalker, Ember suddenly equipped her Melee ready to attack Excal, but then Adam twirls the weapon and stabbed it on the ground
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend..." Adam said
"What? Work with them?!" Jessica retorted
"We won't survive if we fight each other and the Grineer. Besides the real threat is him..." Adam then looks at Lt. Lech Krill
"I hate to say this but...what's the plan?" Anna asked
"Once the barrier is gone I'll use Radial Blind and Tiffany uses World On Fire to distance the fuckers. Then Jessica will use Chaos. The rest kill those who gave us trouble in life. Give them hell..." Adam said and everybody agreed on the plan, even Jessica who a while ago didn't want to work with Stalker but had no choice.
When the barrier disappeared Adam quickly used Radial Blind and all the Grineers were blinded, Tiffany used her ability and a ring of fire spread outward from her and it sent some Grineers flying backwards and at the same time burning them to death, Jessica used Chaos and those Grineers who quickly recovered after being blinded ended up killing one another, Krill was the only one not affected by Chaos but found himself swinging away since some of the mind controlled Grineers tried to attack him.
"Curse those Tennos...CURSE THEM ALL!" Krill then slammed his Hammer on the ground then Ice Shards came out of the ground heading towards the eleven Warframe users (including Stalker).
"INCOMING!" Harold yelled and everyone dodged the deadly Ice Shards.
"Stalker, do something." Adam yelled
"I am." Stalker then Slashed Dash and killed fourteen Grineers then teleport to various parts of the room and providing some accurate head shots,
in an attempt to give some breathing space for the rest of the Warframe users.
"Hey Joe, launch me!" Harold said to the Vauban user and Joe placed a Bounce Pad under Harold and he was sent flying up in the air. He then yelled and used Rhino Stomp, when the Rhino user's foot hit the ground every single Grineer including Krill was now in a state of suspended animation while floating in the air. Anna then took the chance and used her Sound Boom, she placed both hands on the ground, the entire ground shook violently and the noise in the room disappeared. Some Grineers were trying to cover their ears and were silently shouting while some Grineers weren't able to take it and blood came out of their ears, one by one fell down dead. Anna then stopped using her ability and returned to mutilating Grineers.
Shelia was using Energy Vampire, she was healing the others while at the same time accurately shooting different Grineer units on the head. Marie was doing what she does best...kill, she shoved her Dual Daggers on the back of a Heavy Gunner and using the Heavy Grineer unit's weapon she shot an entire magazine at different Grineer soldiers, she then removes the Daggers from the Grineer's head and did a forward roll while decapitating the left and right leg of two Grineer Napalms on both sides. Both said Grineer units then fell down, Marie then did a backwards roll and stabbed both soldiers on the head thus killing them. She grabbed both their weapons and aimed it at a loose piece of ceiling. She fired both guns and the rounds exploded upon impact. The ceiling then fell on two dozen Grineer soldiers, all of then were crushed to death, blood sprayed out of every direction,
so did body parts. The Nova user then used Anti-Matter Drop on a handful of Elite Grineer Lancers, all of them were violently squeezed together, all dying instantly, after a while body parts and organs were everywhere due to the small explosion after the ability runs out of time.
Lech Krill was amazed and at the same time afraid at how both fractions were able to turn the tides and now he found himself from the offensive to defensive.
"ALL GRINEERS FALL BACK!" Krill ordered and the surviving Grineers retreated while some were returning fire to cover their comrades escaping at the cost of their lives.
The Tennos and Stalker were not done with them as they chased the retreating Grineer to a Grand Hall, and once all the retreating Grineers and Warframes were inside Maria locked the entire hall and the remaining Grineer soldiers looked at Lech Krill and to await orders. Lech Krill on the other hand was actually running out of ideas and the Grineer army looked up to him as their icon and while those who were not there with him idolized him,
those who were slowly getting frustrated at their "idol".
"Sir orders!" a Grineer Trooper asked
"Sir! ORDERS!" the Troopers screamed at the same time shaking Lech Krill to bring him back to reality.
Krill then swung his hammer, instantly mutilating the Trooper and his remains covered an unlucky Scorpio. Some Grineers threw down their weapons and knelled down awaiting death, while some ran towards the different doors and tried unlocking it. They were able to unlock the doors and ran for their lives and disappearing instantly.
To those Grineer soldiers who awaited death, they got it when Marie, Joe, Anna, Tiffany and Jack emptied their magazines on the soldiers, leaving only a confused Lech Krill
"It's over Krill, you're dead." Adam said
"Huh...?" Krill asked while putting a hand on his head
"You heard him, any last words, fucker?" Harold asked
"..." Krill just stood there lost and confused, he was actually loosing his sanity, he may be a battle harden veteran of the Grineer Empire but he has a secret that only a certain doctor knew, he had PTSD and he went through a mission where he wasn't yet an Idol to the Grineer army. He was just a Sergeant at the time. An entire battalion except him was wiped out by a group of Tennos.
He then lets go of his weapon and grabbed his head with his other hand and he fell down on his knees, he then screamed and he was imagining he was back at that unfaithful day, from the Orokin Moon Base he imagined he was back in Europa, a wasteland. He was kneeling on the snow as he was surrounded by the frozen bodies of his fallen comrades, their mission was suppose to be an easy mission, search for a piece of Orokin technology hidden in the frozen wasteland. What they didn't expect was a huge group of Tennos were also after the Tech and when they crossed paths an intense fire fight erupted. The white snow was stained with the blood and guts of the dead, the sound of dying soldiers was mixed in the roaring icy wind of Europa's unending and merciless winter.
Lech Krill was stabbed in the chest and he was left for dead. He collapsed and fell back first into a piece of wreckage from the destroyed Corpus ship in the area. He then had to watch each fellow Grineer soldier die in front of him and he starting to feel cold. After a few minutes the Tennos were able to get the Orokin Tech and left the place. Five minutes after the Tennos left a Grineer ship appeared and the rescue party one by one checked the bodies and all were showing signs that it was too late, but Krill on the other hand was lucky to have survive. Yes he was cold but he was near a machine that provided warmth.
After that was a flash from being operated upon and being "Upgraded" and to when he was given a type of medication that only soldiers like him who have developed PTSD to help them know what's real and what's not real. Then back to the real world.
Krill then tried to grab a metal container in his utility belt and when he opened it he realized he had run out of medication and now he just collapsed and returned to screaming and saying random jumbled words.
"Hey Shelia...you're a medic right?" Jessica quietly asked the Trinity user
"Yes, why do you ask?" she replied to Jessica using her bedroom voice
"Is he okay? It's like he's loosing his sanity..." Jessica said while looking at Krill
"If I'm not mistaken he's having signs of PTSD. A mental problem where he thinks he's back to a time that greatly traumatized him." Shelia explained
"Oh..." Jessica just let her word fade
"What shall we do then?" Stalker then joins the conversation
"One leave him like that and find the traitor, two help him or three end his misery." Shelia said
"I would just go with the third option but I think he deserves the first option." Stalker said
"I would choose the first too but I can't see someone this broken so I choose the second one." Jessica said
"Then it's your call." Stalker then gestured at the Trinity user and Shelia motioned for Jessica to do what she felt was right.
Jessica walks up to him and placed a hand on his helmet and after a while Krill stopped screaming and ended up sleeping.
"W-what did you just do?" Joe asked
"Took away what was causing him to be like that and instead replaced it with a relaxing memory." Jessica replied
"And what would that be?" the Vauban user asked
"You don't need to know." was all the Nyx user said
In Krill's Dream
He was with a female Grineer soldier, they were alone together in a section of the Grineer Galleon where they were both stationed and he was holding her close to him. Then they shared a passionate kiss and just enjoyed the silence and company of one another.
Back To Reality
The eleven of them split up to find Barry and deal with him. They searched the entire Moon Base and killed any enemies that was in their way.
Finally Adam's group found him typing in a monitor and just like Stalker he threw his Melee, again the weapon landed on his side and he had Déjà vu. He screamed knowing what was gonna happen to him.
He ran and Marie radioed Anna's group who was near by. Barry rounded a corner and bumped into Harold
"You want to know what being stuck in suspended animation feels like?" he asked while twirling an Ether Sword in one hand
Barry ran away from Harold only to stop in his tracks since his path was blocked by Maria
"I've never used any abilities on a Tenno before..." Barry tried to run away but found himself flying backwards. He flew pass the Mag user not wanting to know what happens next. He landed with a thud on the ground and out of the shadows Shelia appeared
"Want to experience the...unmedical side of a Trinity user?" Shelia asked while cracking her knuckles and neck
Barry tried to get up but the Trinity user grabbed him by the neck and leg and threw him to another room where waiting for him was Anna
"You know, I've experience total silence for two whole months and if I didn't get used to it I would have lost my sanity but I'm a Banshee user so it's only natural for me to be used to total silence..." Anna said with happiness "...but I wonder how it would affect you...bitch." her cheerful tone became a sinister one.
She then used Silence on the Volt user and he tried to scream but no words were coming from his mouth. She then raised her right leg and she ended up cracking Barry's eggs.
(A/N: As a guy it even hurts by just typing the scenario...)
He was helpless and even though he was experiencing great pain he found the strength to run away from the Banshee user. Little did he know a whole world of torture and pain awaited him. When he rounded another corner he met the knuckle of Adam who was patiently waiting.
"Ready for some more pain?" Barry was still not able to speak so shook his head left and right
The Volt user was already mute and after a while he was blinded by Adam, he was forced into another area and he picked up the sound of a laughing woman
"Oh I wonder what a person like you in your current state would feel...being forced into a really really tiny...black hole..." Barry went on all four and tried to crawl away but he bumped into someone and he tried to identify who he bumped into by touching the person, only to end up grabbing the left breast of Jessica
"With that you deserve a world of pain..." Jessica then twisted Barry's arm and using her free hand squished his...*ahem*...
(A/N: Again...it hurts even by just typing it...)
Joe then appears and launches him into the air, when Barry was nearing the ground the Vauban user delivered a swift and painful kick to his groin.
The Volt user then crashed into a rock wall and fell down, pain surging all around his body.
"I guess he's had enough..." Joe said while looking at the beaten and humiliated body of Barry
"Nah, that's not enough." Adam said and for thirty minutes they beat the traitor to a pulp
The group of Anna and Stalker then appeared in the area where Joe's group was. They were about to decide his fate when all of a sudden...
"HEHEHE...WAHAHAHAHA!" a demonic laughter echoed all around them
Everyone then looks at Excalibur fearing what they don't want to encounter again.
"That's not me, I swear..." Adam defended himself, Jessica then checked his mind and nodded to everyone confirming that it wasn't his Dark Half.
Then emerging out of the shadows was a large group of Manics, their red eyes staring at the Warframes, each one feeling as if they were staring into their very souls
"Shit...this isn't good..." Marie said
"It sure isn't..." Joe replied
Everyone then equipped their Melee's and all the Manics then attack the Warframes. One Manic then tried slashing at Adam and he countered it and pierced his sword at the Manics head and throwing it aside. Another one then clawed away at Stalker and he gave it the boot to the face and Tiffany grabbed it by the throat and squishing the Manics throat and blood came out of it's armor and he fell dead.
Joe jumped out of the way of one Manic and slammed his Melee at another. He then sent the Manic down a hole in the ground. Jessica used Absorb and ten Manics were clawing away at the barrier, when she was contented she released the stored energy and the force ripped apart all ten Manics what was left of them was a huge pool of blood.
Jack used Ice Dome and he and Shelia were inside the Dome, he fired an Ice Blast and two Manics were frozen in their place and he swung his weapon thus shattering the two Manics, Shelia was shooting at the enemy and she was so accurate that she managed to kill eleven of them and she provided covering fire to Maria who was rolling and dodging five Manics. She then used Pull and one by one threw the five Manics to Tiffany who threw Fire Balls at each one killing them instantly.
After a while all Manics were dead and everyone was covered from head to toe in blood, organs and unknown liquid. Everyone was tired and were resting. Little did they know one Manic was still alive despite having a hole on his chest armor. It then lunged at the nearest target which was Jessica, Stalker quickly saw the Manic about to pierce the back of Jessica and he quickly ran and pushed the Nyx user aside only for him to end up getting hit by the fatal attack. Stalker froze in his spot and everything around him was frozen in time.
Stalker then looks down to see the entire right arm of the Manic in his chest. He then angrily yelled and using both hands he grabbed the Manics in both sides of it's head and using his remaining strength he crushed the head of the Manic and blood sprayed out of the Manics head covering the entire face mask of Stalker. He then let's go of the Manics crushed head and it's arm slid out of Stalker's chest and it fell permanently dead.
Everything then moved again and Stalker fell backwards landing with a thud on the ground and Shelia quickly slid to his side and tried to heal him but the wound was far too great for her healing ability.
"MASTER!" Tiffany and Jack yelled and came to his side
"PLEASE! HEAL HIM! PLEASE HEAL OUR MASTER!" Tiffany desparetly said to the Trinity user
"There's nothing I can do...his wound is...too big...I can't heal him on my own..." Shelia said softly
"NO! THAT CAN'T BE YOU'RE A TRINITY FOR FUCKS SAKE!" Tiffany yelled at Shelia
Jack then grabbed the messed up Ember user by the shoulder, she then looks at Jack trying to get him to convince the Trinity user to heal their Master. He then removes his helmet and removed Tiffany's. She was crying a river when he removed her helmet.
"How long does our Master have?" he calmly asked Shelia
"He only has fifteen minutes...all you can do is say your farewells..." Shelia then stands up and backs away from the trio.
"Mas-t-ter..." Tiffany was having a hard time speaking
"My Students...I'm sorry...I'm sorry for leaving you..." Stalker said to his two Students "...I have trained you well...but I guess now is the time for both of you to...feel all the emotions..." Stalker then tried to remove his helmet, only for Jack to remove it for him "...thank you Jack..."
Jessica was hugging Adam tightly silently sobbing at the sight of a dying Stalker. The eight of them were silently watching a heart breaking moment.
The most feared bounty hunter lays dying in front of them and they can't do anything to help him. Little did they know that the Lotus had been watching them from the moment Barry sent out that distress message that Stalker was hunting him.
She was silent and she had sympathy for Stalker. Yes she had fought him in the past and she wanted him dead for killing some of her children but seeing what he had done, saving one of her daughters and sacrificing himself, she felt crestfallen. She then removed her mask and her purple hair falls gently on her shoulders she then looks back at past memories and she remembered the time she personally went to manage in rescuing her daughters from Alad V's ship. Right after her ship came out of hyper drive her ships sensor picked up the forsaken vessel and a single Liset class Landing Craft.
She found out that it was Stalker's ship and she was baffled at the sight of his ship floating away from the Corpus ship. She then re-reads the message she received a while ago and pieced the puzzle together and found out it had been Stalker who had discovered the vessel, that it had been him who sent the urgent message and after receiving a report about a detached room full of Mesa's floating in space she finally understood that it had been him who saved some of her daughters and she kept that discovery to herself.
She then looks back at the monitor, tears slowly flowing down her cheeks.
"Please, do what you do best before your encounter with me...bring peace..." Stalker softly said
"H-how?" Tiffany asked while crying
"It is for you two to find it...I have done my job in strengthening you two...physically and mentally..." he then coughs out blood "...but emotionally...
you two must find it yourselves..." Stalker by now was loosing his strength. He then stayed silent for a few minutes "I'm forgiven..."
Tiffany and Jack were confused for a moment but they let it slide
"Both of you...live...live and return to your old selves with what you have learned...my time is up...I have been alive for far too long..." he then turns his head to face the Tennos "...I know you Tennos will never forgive me for what I have done to your brothers and sisters...I don't expect you to easily forgive me and I know one good deed doesn't change a long list of bad deeds..."
"We know...but there are some one good deed that can forgive a life time of bad ones..." Adam said "...I forgive you Stalker..."
"I want to thank you for saving me and I forgive you for what you have done to Adam...again thank you Stalker...you're forgiven." Jessica said
The others said thank you to Stalker and he felt tears flowing from his eyes, all of them were forgiving him. He then felt hot tears falling on his cheek when he turned his head, in front of him Jack was tearing up
"Heh...I was wondering when you will cry Jack...I haven't seen your tears ever since I saved your life..." he said trying to enlighten the mood
"Thank you Master...thank you for sparing my life all those years ago...thank you for training me...thank you for everything." Jack said finally crying
"Thank you Master..." it was now Tiffany "...same as Jack's thank you for everything Master." she said, still crying
Stalker then felt a prescence that he never felt before. He then saw a white light and there was a figure, he couldn't identify who the person was, that is until the figure spoke
'It's been a long time Stalker...' the figure said and Stalker smiled '...I've been waiting for you, you know?' Stalker silently chuckled
'It's been that long huh? I guess you won't have to wait anymore...Sam.' then Stalker's vision improved and there was Sam. He saw her blond hair and aquamarine eyes again, something he had missed.
'Come...it's time...' she then extends her left arm and he grabbed it with his right arm. Everyone was watching Stalker who had raised his right arm.
They knew what was going on. His time was up '...you've done enough, you have atoned for your sins...' Sam then closed her eyes and smiled '...you're forgiven Stalker.' Sam said with a cheerful tone as if saying welcome back to the light
'I'm home.' with that Stalker moved on to the other side
Everyone then watched as Stalker's arm fell down for the last time and they all lowered their head and wished him eternal peace. After that the Tennos arrested Barry and brought him to their ship, while Tiffany and Jack carried Stalker's body to their ship. All three Landing Crafts departed the Moon Base. Two going back to the Dojo while the third one went to the darkness of space.
Adam was watching Stalker's Liset fly farther away and he remembered the last conversation he and Jessica had with Tffany and Jack
"So where will you two go now?" Adam asked
"We will stay under the radar for the meantime." Jack said
"Take care both of you." Jessica said
"All of you too." Tiffany said
"Before we walk our seperate paths I just want to say...sorry, sorry Tiffany for leaving you." Adam said trying to let some baggage go
"It's fine Adam..." the Ember user then looks at the Nyx user "...beside you have her..." she smiles "...do take care of him for me, promise?" Tiffany asked Jessica
"I promise." Jessica said
"Excali- " Adam raised his hand to pause Jack
"It's Adam." he said after putting down his hand
"Okay then, Adam...promise me you will not leave Jessica alone, promise me to take care of her all the time. Talk to her if something is bothering her..." he then walks up to Adam and whispers in his ear "...do not let her kill herself again..." he then backs away "...and lastly love her to the very end." Jack said
"I will. You can count on me." the Excal user said and Jack nodded
With that they went their own paths.
Elsewhere
The Lotus was contemplating and after she was done she smiled at the memory of her last conversation with Stalker
"Stalker...it is I. No need to reply to every word I'll say...I would like to thank you for saving my daughter Jessica. I would also want to thank you for saving some of my daughters that faithful day. You didn't just do one good deed...you did multiple good deeds...I should be thankful that you're dying but I'm not..." Lotus paused a moment and then continued "...All the things you did in the past...I'll let them all go...I forgive you, my long lost Son." Lotus acknowledge him now as her son.
"I'm forgiven..." Stalker said and for the first time he felt the motherly love of the Lotus
Lotus then went back to reality and wiped away a single tear
"Rest in eternal peace my Son...you're now with her." she said to the air
Then she heard a voice saying
"I am Mother...I am..."
She then closed her eyes and smiled
So thanks for reading and please do leave a review.
This is Attackme saying...why dear old brain why do this to me?
