//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 Pun Man // Story: Warframe: Relic Hunters // by UnknownEntity743 //------------------------------// Warframe: Relic Hunters Chapter 4: Pun Man *Location: Canterlot, 1+ mouth since crash landing* Nature can be unpredictable, sometimes it can bring light and warmth into a day, but can also bring darkness and chills. The weather forecasted changed dramatically, which to everyone was a surprise. Excalibur sat on the couch of his home as he wore a bored expression on his face as he flicked through the channels in search of something. Valkyr was in the kitchen with Ember and Chroma and Trinity were down in the base. Oh did I mention the closet in the house led to a massive facility, no, well now you know. And no Harry is not in there, oh yes back to story. Excalibur kept flicking through until the news came on with that ‘Breaking News’ report. “Well better than nothing I guess,” Excalibur moped in defeat as he watched about the crazy Hurricane over the town “-Even though the hurricane is not causing much destruction, what is inside it is as bolts of lighting seem to be striking from within the storm itself!,” *BOOM* “And just there another bolt just struck, we have no idea what’s causing this freak weather but-,“ Excalibur shut the T.V off as he groaned in annoyance as he turned around on the couch “Valkyr get Trinity and Chroma, we have a problem!,” Excalibur shouted as Valkyr came running in “What’s up, did something happen?,” Valkyr asked as Ember walked in also “We have another Tenno and this one has a ‘Wonderful’ sense of humour,” Excalibur said as he air quoted “Let’s just say he has what he calls a ‘Shocking’ personality,” As the wind picked up the storm seemed to grow more and more violent as the rain poured from the heavens and shot agenst Excalibur, Trinity, Valkyr and Chroma (Blue energy) as they stood looking up into the eye of the storm. “Wait isn’t the eye supposed to be calmer part?,” Valkyr asked in confusion “Yes but we have problem in sky, see?,” Chroma responded as he pointed at the (Figure) hovering in the centre as a bolt shot from its hand a and shot Excalibur in the face as his body jolted a bit from the attack as his shields slowly regenerated “Shocking entrance right!!!,” Volt yelled clearly as they all groaned in annoyance at the pun “Wow what a buzz kill” “Ok can we get this over with already, this just turned from terrifying to annoying,” Trinity spoke as even she was fed up already “Alright you all ready!?,” Excalibur asked as they all nodded and soon their archwing roared to life and the shot into the storm “Well this odda be a shock to your dragon friend!,” Volt laughed as 3 bolts of lightning struck from the clouds as Chroma resisted the attacks but noticed them bouncing towards the rest as he flew back down “Comrades I will help clear people away from danger, mission is too dangerous for me,” Chroma responded over the coms as they saw him disappear from sight “Ok Trinity you keep me and Valkyr fighting whist we take out his chip,” Excalibur commanded as she channelled her healing Valkyr and Excalibur charged towards Volt as he bent his head in confusion as he fired off electrical attacks followed by the storm as Valkyr and Excalibur dodged the attacks as they reflected the shots away. Valkyr then fired off some sniper shots but Volt quickly conjured up a shield as he channelled Electricity into it as the result gave way to a wall of bolts as Valkyr backed away from the wall. Excalibur on the other hand was flanking around and began to swing towards... nothing as Volt somehow appeared behind him and few feet away as he fired off a bolt attack without Excalibur knowing as it hurdled towards him. “Excalibur look out!,” Valkyr shouted as she pushed him out of the way as a massive bolt struck her instead as she began to fall into the cloud layer, as she disappeared from view. “No!,” Excalibur yelled as he rushed to catch her but was cut off by a bolt as he turned to face Volt “What? Don’t blame me if she’s not the light of my life,” Volt joked as this pissed Excalibur off as he switched to his arch-blade and waited for Volt to strike which he did Volt began to channel his electrical energy into his (Amphis) as he flew towards him with no archwing. They clashed as (Veritux) clashed with Amphis as the energy surged between strikes of the weapons as Excalibur felt his arms buzz with lightning as Volt swiftly dodged Excalibur’s attacks. Excalibur's shoulder was then caught by the staff at the electricity surged through his systems as he creaked his neck and gave Volt a right hook only to have it blocked by Volt's own as he kicked Excalibur away from him as he laughed. “You’re really slow!,” Volt said simply as he felt his side burn with pain as he saw Excalibur back up “And you’re really annoying,” Excalibur responded with a slight laugh as Volt’s energy changed from blue too yellow as he spoke in a more dangerous voice “Oh is that right huh, well then TRY BLOCKING THIS!!!,” Volt yelled as the storm clouds above his circled around him as the lightning sparked around him as he planned to fire off an overcharge, directly at Excalibur as he held his hand out. Volt then fired off a massive beam of energy towards Excalibur as the lightning coursed through his being as Volt laughed “You really are dumb,” Volt mocked as Excalibur smirked at the pain as he laughed more sinisterly “Then you’re even dumber,” Excalibur chocked out as he explained “What happens when electricity is conducted into a point?,” “Simple it will be surged out of that singularity and-oh, well I’m right fucked aren’t I?,” Volt asked as he realized his mistake “Right in the down under,” Excalibur said as he yelled with all his fury as he pointed his blade towards Volt as the Lightning instantly blasted its way through the storm and straight through Volt as his body convulsed in pain. Then from behind Valkyr came out of nowhere in Hysteria and began to rip the chip out as it sparked in her hand. "Where did you?" Volt tried to ask but felt his neck begin to pull agenst the strain of his chip “Never saw the fake-out coming!” Valkyr joked as Excalibur laughed lightly as he fell along with Volt to the ground as the storm slowly dissipated The sun soon broke through the clouds as Valkyr, Chroma and Trinity looked down at Volt and Excalibur as they laughed. “That was a very shocking twist,” Volt said as Excalibur laughed back “Yea that was fun, but one more pun and I’ll kill you,” Excalibur said as he looked up towards the blue sky as Valkyr and Trinity sighed. “Boys…” “What?” the 3 guys asked in unison “well at least my weekend wasn’t a boring one yay…” Excalibur thought as his body twitched in pain. *Somewhere in Space* A Liset was hurdling through space as it's black-shrouded appearance went unnoticed as it's operator looked over the video of Excalibur fighting Chroma and then another showed their fight with Ember as the black-slender hand tapped it's jet-black chin as his chilling voice filled the silence. "Well this could get...interesting" the voice spoke as he continued to sharpen his (Reaper Prime) slowly in the dark. I’ve seen them rise I’ve seen them fall The lies, the truth Only to end and begin anew Trinity
