Let it be known that the tenno hates cold weather with a burning passion, wich was proven when they were trekking through the mountain area on the island known as Undvik. Hugging their arms, they recalled their reason for this hellish trip...

(1 hour earlier)

The tenno was sitting crosslegged on the floor of their orbiter, their temerian gwent cards in their hand and scattered on the floor, in front of them was a holographic manifestation of Ordis, who had holographic copies of Yoana's nilfgaard cards floating in front of him. The tenno held a hand under their chin, as they were pondering their next move.

"Operator? You are taking rather long with deciding your move. -hurry up!-"came Ordis' voice, shaking them out of their thoughts, the tenno was about to make their move when Ordis interrupted them.

"Operator, i just picked up the signal from your archwing! If you go now, you might be able to get there before someone else runs into it." He said, this made them perk up. Their archwing, an Itzal, had been missing since the tenno was stranded on this world, retrieving it would give them a huge edge over whatever their enemies on this world could muster.

Aproaching the nav console, they reviewed their next destination.

The snowy area of Undvik.

(Present)

Forming another flame in the hands of their ember warframe, the tenno sought to keep warm in the blizzard that had decided to swoop down at the exact moment of their descend. Forging on, they were nearing the site of the fallen archwing, if the objective marker was any indication. They continued following it across Undvik, eventually reaching the mouth of a cave, turning their gaze to their minimap, the tenno saw a big cave system that spread throughout the island.

The tenno was relieved, and also not. While they could finally get out of this infernal blizzard, they would also have to have to trudge through a massive system of caves that was no doubt filled to the brim with all kinds of unsavory creatures. Making up their mind, the tenno followed the objective marker into the cave.

It was dark, and damp, a cawing sound was heard from deeper inside.

Once again lamenting the absence of night vision, they took out their stradavar. The tenno explored the cave complex, it was as large as they expected, some passages were more narrow than others, but did nothing to hinder them. As they explored, they reached what must have been the central chamber, there was a cliff that had a tree growing out of it, how curious.

The tenno turned their attention to the small, flying creatures flocking around it, they appeared to be a mix between a tiny human and a bird. Curious as to what they were, the tenno took out their codex scanner, this kind of monster were called "harpies", hybrid monsters that were known to be kleptomaniacs to the core. They tightened their grip on their stradavar, many encounters with grineer drahk masters had taught the tenno the importance of not having their weapons stolen.

With great ammounts of caution, they snuck through the shadows of the cave, and it was working for a while, until one of the harpies spotted them, it cawed agressively, drawing the attention of it's fellows. Not feeling like fighting what would essentially be a large group of melee focused ospreys, the tenno ran to what they hoped would be the exit.

They reached the final stretch of the cave, an exit was detected nearby.

Reaching the exit, they saw that the blizzard had died down, but it was still cold. What they failed to notice, however, was the group of harpies that had followed them out, the tenno reacted too slowly as a harpy grabbed onto their stradavar and started pulling, both tightened their grip on the poor assault rifle, it seemed a rather even match, until a second harpy slammed into the distracted tenno, making them release their grip.

The first harpy was flying off into the distance with their stolen weapon, they decloaked and drew their talon throwing knives, while the tenno didn't trust their aim with throwing knives over long distances, the talons were able to be remotely detonated, this made accuracy often an afterthought. The talon that was thrown did not directly hit the fleeing harpy, but the detonation was enough to make it drop the stolen gun, they followed it's trajectory...

...all the way into the sea surrounding the island.

Now the tenno really wished they could scream, despite their carefullness, they still lost their weapon. The stradavar's homing beacon had revealed that it was currently sinking to the bottom of the sea surrounding the island, and swimming was out of the question. However, their archwing would enable the tenno to move through large bodies of water with speed, thus enabling them to locate their missing gun, this made finding the archwing even more of a priority. Not wasting any more time, they kept following the objective marker.

Luckily, the archwing's homing beacon had revealed it to be near them, turning their head, the tenno saw a much smaller cave that had a strange shape carved into it's side, it looked like those constructs that the blacksmiths of this world used to forge their wares, but this one looked more decorated. That, and the fact that the whole thing was carved into a rock face slightly impressed them. But what drew their attention was the frosted rock troll that stood near it.

It looked just like a regular rock troll, except this one had a layer of ice over it's rocky back, and it's skin looked like it came down with an extreme case of frostbite. Normally, the tenno would be concerned for the creature's wellbeing, but a stealth scan from the codex scanner revealed that the troll was in perfect health, it was simply a diffrent breed.

These were appereantly known as "ice trolls", very creative name, really.

What concerned them the most was the folded itzal archwing it was chomping on, the archwing's shielding was tough enough to deny the troll a taste of it's wings. Deciding they wouldn't test the limits of their archwing's shields against a troll any more, the tenno made their presence known by stepping further into the cave.

The troll turned it's head and said "Youse walk in trolly-cave, in sroop youse goes in!" It's way of speaking was very, very crude, but they got the message. Decloaking their hirudo, the tenno got into a fighting stance, the troll roared, but oddly, instead of charging it reached behind it's back, and before they knew it, a rock had hit them square in the face.

Taking adavantage of their dazed state, the troll took a wide swing and smashed them to the ground. Their shields had been drained to fifty percent, but they persevered. pushing themselves up, they got into a fighting stance again, the troll prepared to throw another rock, but the tenno had prepared by holding their arms up to form a channeling block, wich did it's job as the rock shattered against their guard.

They charged at each other, quick and precise blows countered strong but clumsy strikes. They traded blows for what felt like an eternity, but the hirudo's invigorating properties allowed the tenno to endure the troll's onslaught, while said troll was starting to waver under the torrent of punches and kicks.

Eventually they both knocked each other to the ground, but neither of them got up, they simply laid flat and stretched out on the ground. The troll started laughing, the tenno remained silent, but used their elbows to raise their torso and looked at the troll. "Youse wham trolly good, other monstersies and humansies wham trolly not good. Youse are good humansies, strong humansies, trolly likes youse!" It spoke, the tenno had no idea in what way the troll "likes" them, but they were happy he was finally standing down.

"Trolly not have good whamming in much time, trolly give your rewardsies!" He continued, wich prodded them to point at the folded archwing that laid on the ground, the troll seemed to get the point. "Youse wants glowy rock? Hmmmm... Hmmm... Aye, trolly thinks youse deserveses glowy rock." With that, they both stood up. The tenno walked over to their mostly undamaged archwing.

It was a standard itzal archwing, outfitted with veritux arch-melee, and dual decurion arch-guns. Thankfully, the troll hadn't figured out how to detach the weapons. Satisfied, they left the cave, carrying the folded archwing under their arm.

Attaching the archwing to their lower back, they felt it's wings whirring, it was ready to take off. Slightly bending their knees, the wings spread out, and With a swift jumping motion, the tenno rocketed into the sky. The sensation of flying through the air felt strange to them, as they mostly used the archwing for combat in space, or underwater. They enjoyed the feeling...

Until they almost collided with an abnormally large bird.

At least, they thought it was a bird. It bore a close resemblance to a creature that inhabited the planet earth, very long ago, a "chicken" they recalled. But this one was easily ten times larger than the ones from the historical archives, it had greater wings, and scales, and a big tail, this was definetly no chicken. Wich was even further proven when acid shot from the beast's beak, it was easily repelled by the archwing-boosted warframe shields, but not before leaving some corrosive damage.

Deciding they had enough, the tenno aimed their decurion guns and fired on the beast, it didn't die, but it did fall out of the sky. Given how it stayed down, they concluded it's hard landing had driven it unconcious.

They would have finished it, but they just couldn't find the will to do it.

So, having gotten what they came for, they called their orbiter, wich flew in shortly after. Having entered their ship with archwing in tow, the tenno returned to the planet's orbit, though they couldn't shake the feeling that they forgot something...

(Meanwhile)

Back in the origin system, the saturn junction was nearing the completion of it's restoration.

Yet Tyl Regor was not happy.

Slippery, slimy, sticky lizards had their eyeless gaze on him, they didn't know that he knew, but he did, they would strike when the junction was fully restored. They wouldn't leave one of their own behind, they couldn't. And he knew it, all he really needed to do was prepare, and so he did.

His sizable fleet formed a tight blockade around the junction, and drekar marines watched it around the clock, they would come, and he would be ready.

(Line break)

Six tenno sat in a large, dark room, the only light source was a hologram of the saturn junction that sat in the center of the circle they made. No noises were made, no words spoken, but they understood each other perfectly.

"He knowsssss." Came from a nekros warframe.

"Doesn't mean he can do something about it!" Came another, this one used a valkyr warframe.

"Can't we just strike now?" Proposed a tenno using an atlas warframe.

"Play that scenario in your head, what do you think will happen?" Yet another one chimed in, this one used an excalibur warframe.

"We kick his sorry cloned ass off our junction!" Answered the atlas using tenno.

"Und zhen what? How would ve locate our jungen freund?" Asked another tenno, this one using a trinity prime warframe.

"W-well, uhh... Uhm..." The atlas using tenno seemed lost for words.

"Exactly, we don't know where that junction brought our comrade." Came the last tenno, this one used a vauban prime.

"Then what's the plan?" Asked the valkyr using tenno.

"We wait, he will complete his restoration efforts soon enough, he will locate our missing tenno, and we will follow him." The excalibur using tenno proposed, this prodded the other occupants of the room to bow their heads, the first motion they had made since they knelt down.

"Yessssss, Commander."

"Yes, Commander!"

"Aye capt- i mean, Commander."

"Yes, Commander."

"Jawohl, Herr Kommandant."

Came their answer, the excalibur using tenno -now revealed to be a figure of importance- answered with "Excellent, i expect you all to be ready once Tyl Regor has located out lost friend."

The excalibur left the room, the hologram disapeared, and the room lit up, revealing all warframes in their standard colours. The valkyr using tenno was the first to 'speak' up. "Big guy, a couple rounds in the arena?" They asked as they turned to the atlas tenno, who responded with "you're on, pipsqueek!" As they both ran out the room, leaving the trinity prime, vauban prime, and nekros tenno on their own.

The nekros tenno stood up and creepily stalked out of the room, the door closed and locked behind them, leaving the activities of the two primes to the imagination.

(And that's that! Apologies for the shortness of this chapter... That's about all i have to say about it, expect some actual plot in the next chapter, as well as fixes to earlier chapters.)

(Oh! There's one more thing i'd like to ask of you, who took the time to read and critiscise my writing fiasco, i don't know what names to give the tenno, both the main character and the six featured in this chapter. Ofcourse i could think of something myself, but i would really apreciate any suggestions. I need two girl names, four man names, and one unisex name. Thanks in advance. Ok, now i'm finished, until the next chapter!)
