A/n: Its been a while, six months take or give, but I'm back with a finished chapter. Hopefully, I didn't butcher the fight scenes too much. Enjoy the read.
Edit: Changed Nova prime to Chroma prime.
The resounding sound of the alarm finally struck, as terror is on the horizon. Sentients, thousands of them landed upon the horizon each ready to take vengeance on their creators. For taking their reproduction away, leading them to death, and aiming to use them for nothing more than personal gain.
Hunhow stood out among them, his hatred spewing in waves. Echoed by the many smaller sentients, they had gained many resistances from their travels back. Ready to exact vengeance on everyone in the Orokin System.
"Go my brother and sisters. Exact your deepest of hatred upon each and every last one of our creators. Leave no man,woman, nor child alive." Hunhow voices his command and as a swarm they came.
"Prepare yourselves!" The Orokin general yells and the heavens turned blank for the first time. A pure civilization now turned into a hell.
Avarice controls his warframe, Chroma prime, combating the various sentients that engage him. His great sword infused with void energy shreds them with ease. Lambs to a slaughter in his eyes.
Roaring to establish his dominance amongst the battlefield, unleashing a void filled fireball. Spreading white flames that poisoned the creatures and brought their life to an end. Large wings gave him increased speed, and armor blocked many of the bullets and blast that came into contact. It was painful, relaying the senses of the warframe to his own. But, the sheer sense of adrenaline blocked out any sense of pain for the time being.
Nothing would stop him from protecting his masters. If he has to, he will slaughter the army for however long is needed. No one would lay a finger on his masters, not while he has a breath in his body.
Many of his brethren are dying to the sheer numbers. Their weapons becoming greatly ineffective, as the sentients advance and evolve to overcome each weapon. Easily slaughtering the men and women with no remorse.
The newly created Tenno are facing strain from the constant of use of their warframe. Delving into constant battle it is a fight between losing themselves and combating the sentients. Nonetheless, they had one purpose. To fight until they force the sentients back to Tau, or obliterate each and every last one of them.
"Please don't kill my baby. I am begging you." A mother please for the safety of her newborn child, begging for its safety.
The sentient stops for a brief moment. "Thank y-" Its blade pierces through the woman's baby and her heart shutting her up completely, along with the baby's cries.
This happened all over the city, once pristine and golden walls are now horribly red with pools of blood. Dead Sentients and Orokin litter the streets, highlighting an end to a golden age.
"Pity." She was a beautiful woman with a child. Ballas smirked at the chaos. His deal with Hunhow is panning out to be quite the show, and he always loves a good show.
The trembling ground caught his attention, " "Hm. Avarice is getting down to business. Hopefully, Hunhow can dispose or incapacitate him." Ballas did not want to see the young boy pay for the sins of the Orokin.
However, life isn't fair and he would be remembered through his project at least.
Gazing upon the destruction as he continues his walk humming a slight tune. The end of the Orokin is nigh high and he would be the overseer of this destruction.
Avarice crushes the sentient corpses he walks upon. His primary target being the astronomical size Hunhow. When he kills that sentient it would be over and the empire would be safe. Growling under his breath, the warframe roars unleashing an ear-shattering screech as everything stops. The battlefield grows quiet and he ascends.
Luminescent, ghost-white wings emerge from Chroma's back. Allowing him to engage Hunhow face to face, even though he is insignificant compared in size to the sentient.
"A fly, trying to engage me. I will erase you and your masters from this world. Just as you all have planned for us sentients." Hunhow's booming voice and massive crimson figure looms.
"You will not destroy this empire. Even if it cost my life. You'll die Hunhow..." Avarice speaks through Chroma. Scorn and fury growing inside him, letting the blind rage take over his thinking.
Dodging the super charged laser, he aims to decapitate the limbs. The blade barely scratching the surface of his massive enemy. "What are you made of? " Avarice grunts to himself as he continues to strike and dodge the death beams of Hunhow.
" Insolent creator. You are all going to die and nothing will save you from our wrath." Hunhow calls forth sentients from the ground to engage in battle with Avarice.
If one were to look up at the starry night, they would think they're watching a meteor shower. Twinkling sentients and warframe go in together for an all out death battle. Bullets, lasers, and explosions litter the night sky. Shaking the empire, as the Dragon fights the Machine.
This battle would go on for days, as neither side lets up on their respective positions. Avarice's body has become strained to point where at any moment his body could give out. His warframe, dented and broken from the constant charges of void energy and attacks.
The other tenno has all but collapsed over the constant abuse of transference, while a select few have managed to stay conscious enough to fight. Are watching the sky battle before them, a fate uncertain but welcomed.
"You are not going to win this, creator. Killing my brothers, sisters, and children is vile. But, you'll die as your master's abandoned pet." Hunhow schemes as his uses the mind games to attack the boy.
"Ballas never saw a son in you. Nothing but a dog to be used and broken to his whims."
Avarice stops his assault, taking in what the sentient is saying. It couldn't be anything more than a lie. Ballas would never do anything like that to him... He thought..
"Stop playing mind games with me, Hunhow. You're just trying to save your hide before I carve you." Avarice shoots back at the sentient angered by his words.
"Oh, it is true little dragon. You will see soon enough that everything you have worked for is nothing more than an illusion." Hunhow states not showing any concern for his empty threats.
"Enough." Drawing his great-sword for the final time. "I don't plan on making it out of this Hunhow, but you are coming with me." Avarice charges the sentient charging his armor and weapon with void energy. Burning the sentient, as he amputates the limbs before going towards his core.
" No! I won't let you." Hunhow calls smaller sentients to guard him.
Avarice cuts through each of the sentients, breaking his weapon piece by piece as he finally stabs the core. Creating a compact explosion and light show, as the sentient's body breaks into pieces. The main body crashes into the empire, while fellow pieces destroy the surrounding buildings.
Avarice's waframe smashes into a nearby tower. Broken and dented from the long battle, as he collapses from his secured position. Blood coming from his mouth as the overstrain finally hits his body.
"It's over..." His vision becomes blurry and dark. Before finally closing his eyes and giving out in the dark room.
"Impressive, Avarice. To say I'm proud or disappointed is a convoluted choice. But, good job nonetheless."
