The Beast
A heavy-duty exoskeleton adorns your frame, compensating for the frailty of your cloned body. Your arms and legs are purely mechanical, and your hands themselves are a marvel of engineering, possessing dexterity for weapons handling while also functioning as power-fists.
The armor is what enables you to heft weapons that few others would be capable of using unaided. Surrounded by your grineer brothers and sisters, you feel like an invincible bulwark, that there is nothing capable of posing a threat.
Until you hear the roar.
Heads turn, and masked degenerated faces turn in the direction of the sound. It is a chilling one. Far louder than any animal you know of, it carries the undertone of a challenge to all comers.
And it is immediately accompanied by a desperate cry over your communication line for reinforcements.
At once, you and your brethren form up and begin to move. Lighter units race ahead, while you struggle through the underbrush of Earth's forests, a consequence of your greater size and mass.
Meanwhile, the first tendrils of doubt uncoil within your mind.
A scrum of stragglers are at your back as you approach the contact area. Your heavy machine cannon held at the ready, you cautiously survey the scene. Bodies are strewn everywhere. Here and there are massive footprints, heavy tread which does not match any grineer soldier. Some of the bodies have been flattened, with their armor cracking at the point of impact.
The amount of force needed to crush that body armor is typically the domain of heavy vehicles or industrial equipment. Even you are not capable of delivering that kind of power.
But a Tenno on the other hand…
Your musings are interrupted by another roar. Before you can turn to face the source, a monstrous impact sends you and your comrades flying.
A tree arrests your trajectory, and you tumble to the forest floor. Your mechanical arms maintained a firm grip on your weapon. Your comrades were not so fortunate. A few rifles clatter to the ground nearby as their former owners roll to a stop on the hardened dirt.
The Tenno is a giant, a solidly built figure even taller than you, and wields a massive hammer with a face as large as your chest. Opposite the face is an axe-head that has clearly seen some use.
As you scramble to your feet, the Tenno effortlessly brings the hammer up from behind before pulverizing the unfortunate grineer rifleman under its foot.
You bring up your weapon and spool it up. Gunfire tears across the clearing as a few of your comrades add to the mix.
Nonchalantly, the Tenno straightens up as even the heaviest caliber bullets ricochet harmlessly off its skin. Gleaming armor plate is obscured as a rocket explodes against the figure, only to reveal a gleaming unblemished surface.
The Tenno hunches slightly before leaping several stories into the air at the grineer who fired the rocket. The soldier backpedals out of the way, evading the flat of the hammer, but losing his balance as the Tenno smashes the ground, shaking the entire forest from the monstrous blow. The hammer is raised and lowered a second time, this time producing a sickening gurgling and snapping sound.
Your comrades have all fully recovered their weapons, and they fan out to your sides while another squad enters the clearing from the other side. As the Tenno steps away from yet another grineer corpse, a storm of gunfire converges from all sides. The hulking brute seems to laugh, a deep rumbling sound, before angling its featureless face plate toward the sky. An ear-splitting roar, identical to the first, stuns you and forces you and your allies to cover your ears.
The Tenno barrels into the opposite group and then unleashes a single vicious back-handed swing with the hammer that scatters the soldiers into the air, crushing them against the trees. Recovering from the swing, it turns, and braces its back leg, before rocketing towards your group.
A few soldiers throw themselves out of the way as the Tenno obliterates a small sapling. Unfazed, it faces your group as you once again bring weapons to bear. Then it raises its right foot, and stomps.
The ground seems to recoil and spring back, flinging you and your comrades into the air. The shock disorients you as you drop on your back, stunned.
Another grineer lands next to you, face-plate askew. A small moan of pain becomes a sharp cough as the Tenno smashes its hammer on your comrade's back.
You roll onto your hands only to collapse under the impact of the hammer on your shoulder. Flesh and metal tear away, and your vision goes white from shock. A single stricken gasp escapes your throat. As you support yourself with one remaining arm, you look to the side where the Tenno stands. It grabs the mangled debris and peels it away from the hammer head while calmly meeting your defiant gaze with its blank faceplate.
"Tenno skoom!"
The Tenno ignores the insult and turns the hammer around, preparing to use the axe-head.
Armor shatters, sinew and bone give way, and your world spins. You catch a glimpse of your body collapsing forward like a puppet with cut strings. The last thing you hear is a final roar of victory.
Which frame do you guys want to see next? Ash, Volt, Loki, Mag, or Trinity?
