His repairs like Ordis said were slow but ever since Ember nothing crazy had happened, that was 2 weeks ago and now the world had decided to play its cards. *Location: Canterlot High, 1:30pm, 1 mouth since crash landing* Valkyr along with her brother have been through training ever since they put on the warframes; but there is one thing that the Orokin never made them do, this torture is beyond cruel, beyond pain, it was- “Who... in their right mind... thought that 25 laps is good,” Valkyr moaned between breaths as she along with the rest of the class either laid on the ground or stands as they cached their breath or collapsed halfway through as birds circled above in the sky “I know right, this is just unbearable,” Sunset groaned as they watched AJ and Dash walk up looking better than the rest “Well if you think that’s bad, Coach Iron Will goes easy on the first day, after that no one will hear you scream,” Dash said simply as Valkyr whimpered in fear “Even I have my limits,” Ember said between breaths as she laid on the ground next to them as she brushed her golden hair out of her face “Hey Valkyr where’s your brother and Chroma at?,” AJ asked as Valkyr thought about it before snickering “Oh those two are on a brief trip to the other side of town for the day,” Valkyr responded before continuing “Let’s just say it’s quite the physical work,” *Location: Relic Hunters Home Base, 10 miles below sea level, Liset* *Hanger* Excalibur was underneath the Liset whist Chroma was on top trying to bolt in the new engine as it wobbled in protest “You could try keeping engine stable,” Chroma said with irritation as Excalibur held the engine up as best he could “Yes well I’m not a tank warframe I’m a bloody balance one, now please hurry my body is telling me to just die already so please hurry,” Excalibur said in a higher pitched voice as the surface beneath him cracked ever so slightly “Patience comrade this takes time to set right,” Chroma responded as he carefully bolted another piece in place "And if you don't mind 'balance' engine for me," “Why didn’t the fucking dragon do this job, I’m gunna break faster than a toothpick,” Excalibur thought as he wished he was in school “Hey I’m gunna get us a drink from the vending machine if you guys want something?,” Valkyr asked as all their expressions were her answer “Alright be right back!,” As she began to grab the drinks Valkyr felt something odd when she looked back. The sense was odd as she’s only felt it when something bad or good would happen but nothing did. “I swear I think Calibur’s paranoia is rubbing off on me, or Nekros’s perception training,” Valkyr thought as that name brought a smile to her as she the saw a shadow pass over her before it stopped in the middle of the field Valkyr gasped as she saw the strange looking (Girl) standing with an (Orthos) in hand as she looked around the area before beginning to swing wildly as people ran for cover or back inside as Ember almost fired off a fire blast but held it back as she backed up with the others. Trinity then lifted her staff towards then but soon felt something grab her wrist as Valkyr (In her warframe) swung her into the dirt as she back flipped back onto her feet Valkyr then brought out her Dual Cestra and began to unload clips into Trinity as she saw her shield flash blue but something was wrong as Valkyr felt from time to time pain striking her body from nowhere as she scanned the area for other attackers. “But she has no spectres and she’s not attacking, how?,” Valkyr thought as the pain kept growing until she stopped firing as she collapsed to her knees as the pain flared all other her body Valkyr then switched to her Lecta as she wrapped it around Trinity’s leg and began to swing her around, smashing her into the ground as she saw her shield flash but soon Valkyr stopped as she coughed as if someone kicked the wind out of her. Valkyr then realized the problem, she’s using link. “Shit,” Valkyr said as Trinity walked up and slashed Valkyr into the dirt with her Orthos before beginning to walk back towards the others with her Orthos in hand as she glowed with anger and energy. Ember tried to attack but a swift kick from Trinity sent her flying into Sunset as they fell to the ground. Applejack soon got her phone out a dialled a number and soon the caller answered “Oh hey Aj what’s up?,” Excalibur asked as the sound of machinery in the distance was heard “Excalibur there’s another Tenno and she’s beaten the other Tenno down without even lifting a finger! She uses something that makes the attacker take the hits,” AJ quickly explained rapidly as silence greeted her until Excalibur spoke “Alright if I had to guess it’s an ability that makes her almost untouchable to attacks. . . ok I think the best way to beat her is to hit her really hard and really fast,” Excalibur explained as the last part confused Aj before she shouted “Enough with the games Excalibur if you don’t give me an idea me along with the rest are gunna become mince!!!,” Aj yelled as she saw Dash and Ember try to keep the Tenno at bay “I am being serious, look I said she’s ‘Almost’ untouchable that ability must only be able to withstand so many attacks, but faster ones could cause the process to slow making the ability null and void, Got it?,” Excalibur explained more seriously “Ok thank you Excalibur but one more thing,” Aj said as a ‘hmm’ was heard from the other end “How did you contact the Tenno this time if you didn’t know?,” “What you think they follow me or something, you guess, k seeya!,” Excalibur responded before hanging up Aj then tuned and yelled to the Tenno “You have to attack faster! If you do, her ability can’t last!,” Aj shouted as the girl nodded and soon the roar of her Ability made Trinity turn and activate her ‘Link’. Valkyr then roared with such rage and anger that Trinity was stunned but stood her ground as Valkyr ran like and animal as her claws began to slash away at Trinity with such ferocity that it seemed to unnerve some but as Valkyr took some of the hits they began to become few and far between as the effect began to dissipate Trinity then began to attack but Valkyr took the hits like they were nothing as she blocked the staff with her claws before slashing it out of Trinity's hands as she stumbled back from the impact before getting a backhand to the face as Valkyr snickered at the action as she wore a large grin on her face, hidden by the helmet of a berserker. “Comrade why only let Valkyr handle threat?,” Chroma asked in confusion as Excalibur sat back on his chair and smiled “Because Valkyr is my Sister and I know she could take us both out without even trying,” Excalibur said with a grin as Chroma looked at him intently “She maybe a funny, happy girl but deep within her there’s a power that hungers for blood, I call it..,” Trinity laid on the ground with scratches and dirt marks on her armour as Valkyr smashed the chip under her foot and soon her claws disappeared as Excalibur’s words hung in the air as they echoed “Hysteria…” Valkyr then walked over and lifted Trinity into her arms as she began to walk away but as she passed the girls she stopped and faced Applejack before nodding “Thanks, you saved my ass out there,” Valkyr said as Applejack smiled “well it was my friend Excalibur, he told me what to do,” She answered as Valkyr began to walk again “I'll be sure to thank him one day,” Valkyr responded as she smiled under her helmet "Thanks Bro..," I was burned, broken and afraid Then they tipped the scales of fate Now there left in ruin In ashes and pain Ember
