Wind.
The first thing I noticed when I woke up was I could feel a breeze. "Augh... Where... Huh.." I took in the sound of my voice, Sounding less like in a vented fiberglass dome and more in a full helmet. I opened my eyes finally, seeing the roof of a frozen cave, clearly, as if nothing impeded my vision. "This is... Strange..." I spoke aloud, finally getting up off of my back. my costume felt lighter than before as I began checking for any damage or injury. Thankfully, I was unscathed, but what really began to get to me was the fact the materials of my costume had changed from hard plastic and thick cloth to some form of metal and Kevlar combination.
Wait, How am I feeling that? I curiously wondered, heading towards the beckoning breeze. What I saw sent chills along my spine.
I could see an Expansive forest from the mountainside I stood on, with the trees rattling and the occasional appearance of a mighty serpentile head. In the distance, there appeared to be a Tall castle with a settlement around it. Am I dreamin- No... Naru disappeared right before my eyes.. And I disappeared the same way.. I took in my new reality, my breathing becoming unsteady as my mind began to spiral. I'm never going home, Am I? I sighed as I drew my Dakra, inspecting it. Unlike before, where it was simply a dull copy, this weapon had an Edge unlike any blade I had seen before. So, if my costume has changed to what I assume to be a near identical replica... I'm going to assume that my props have become actual weapons. I began to take deep breaths, analyzing my situation.
First, Find either a civilization of sentient life, or establish a camp. Second, Find safe food and clean water. Third.. crafting my checklist in my mind, I began to walk down the mountain path, seemingly carved into it, Focusing my mind on survival rather than my predicament to prevent a nervous breakdown. I kept my blade drawn as I reached the forest's edge, taking in the area. I could smell the fragrance of freshly rained on grass and trees, despite being in a helmet that seemed to completely encapsulate my head. Have I really become a full blown Warframe? I began to hack into the forest, making a beeline towards that castle.
After a few hours, I finally came across a clearing with a river running through it. Hm.. This might be a good place to set up a camp.. I approached the river, and crouching. I rested my hand where my chin would be, running my hand through the water. "It's not freezing, so.. Maybe I need to.." I focused on dropping the temperature of the water, watching as a thin layer of ice forms over my hand. Ah... Its controlled by thought... I smiled beneath my mask, pulling my hand out and breaking the ice in a quick clenching of my fist. I looked around, watching the treeline for a moment, before I focused on creating the frozen dome shield, the hexagons of Ice appearing around me and protecting me.
I reached for the latch that I used to secure my face, gasping as I feel a cold steam vent from around my face, releasing the front plate of the helmet. I looked around as I felt the warm air on my skin, taking a look at my reflection in the calm stream. I seemed to remain unchanged, except my skin was closer to a sickly white rather than a healthy peach tone. "I'm still me... and Yet.. I'm not.."
A Snap of a Twig caught my attention, making me turn towards the Source of the noise. What I saw both haunted me and fascinated me.
A wolf made from branches, covered in a pelt of brown leaves and grey moss with a flickering green glow emitting from its chest cavity and eyes. A Timber Wolf... an old one at least.. Would this mean I'm in... Equestria?.. I had watched the show in passing, with my sister before her exit from our world, taking in few details such as these beasts of nature. So I am in Equestria, specifically the Everfree forest.. So am I going towards a Pony society or... some other sentient society? I took a quick drink from the river as the wolf approached, replacing my mask shortly afterwards. "Easy... Easy.." The beast of timber looked up at me, and then away, disinterested in me as it began to drink from the river, Its pelt renewing with life as it sustained itself.
I slowly walked away from the curious creature, heading back into the trees as I turned my bearings back towards the settlement, determined to make it there by nightfall. How many others have been removed from Earth, and sent to other worlds, if not this one?

My head was pounding. I groaned, and curled into the fetal position. I froze, however, when I felt dry dirt below me, my eyes snapped open. What I saw was a barren waist land. I got up, examining myself. I saw that I was still in my costume. I quickly reached for the well hidden clasps to get out of it... The clasps weren't there.
"THE HECK IS HAPPENING!" I yelled. My costume felt more real as well. From the poking and prodding trying to find a clasp, it was like my costume was sending sensation directly to my brain. to try and disprove this point, I pinched the fleshy growth on my right leg. It sent a stab of pain to my brain.
"Alright, strange things happening right now. Just try and find civilization for now." I nodded at this decision. But before I headed off, a familiar shape caught my eye. It was my replica of Mire. I remembered that it might be the reason that I was here, but figured that it was better to have it then to not have it. I grabbed it. it felt comfortable and familiar in my hand. I swung it experimentally, and it made a very satisfying swishing noise. I nodded, and instinctively put it on my back. I let go before I could realize that it would clatter to the ground, but it didn't. I shrugged, categorizing it under 'weird stuff to figure out later'. I then started walking.
As the sun was going down, I spotted an opening dug into the side of a hill. It was very large, nearly big enough to drive a truck inside over all. I cautiously stepped inside, gasping as I saw the mutilated corpses of horse-bug things. They were in armor, and swords lay beside them. Their killers seemed to have liked killing them, as the body's were bent and twisted in gut wrenching ways.
'So their intelligent. But I need to keep a lookout for what killed them. I just hope that the current strangeness also gave me more than a strangely modified costume.' I though as I walked in further. As I did, I started hearing the harsh language of the Grineer in the distance.
"Akre, akre, hu'uus krafe." I began to grin, despite myself. I decided to test my new abilitys against a few Grineer. I whipped Mire off of my back, and felt the fleshy substance that the blade was made of writhing slightly, as if responding to my mood. And if that weren't strange enough, I felt the growth on my leg begin producing toxins and poisons. But for some reason this didn't creep me out. In fact I felt invigorated! I charged in there, sliding occasionally to help keep my stamina up. I quickly encountered the Grineer. there were only five of them. One had his back to me, but began to turn as the other raised their guns, one shouting.
"Tenno skoom!" The one with his back to me didn't turn quick enough, and Mire cut his head off with barely any resistance. Mire quivered with joy at the taste of blood, and I was happy to oblige. The other Grineer unloaded their guns on me, but their bullets pinged off of my shields. I cut all four of them down in quick succession. They were dead before they breached my shields. I stood their, looking for something to wipe Mire off with, but stopped as I saw the blood being absorbed into it. I shrugged at this. At least I didn't have to worry about that. I grinned at the memory, before realizing that I was acting like a psychopath. I stopped at the thought, wondering if my mind was changed as well. I had conformed the impossible with this battle, that I WAS Saryn now, or at least in her body. But was I getting her mind as well?
'Stop thinking like that. Your still Aisha.' I thought to myself. That thought sounded hollow, but I ignored that. 'Now, should I try to kill all the Grineer here? They wouldn't have been able to get too deeply entrenched yet, after all. Most likely, they're still setting things up. Easy pickings.' With that thought, I had to repress a smile.

I came to from the sensation of something nudging me. Opening my eyes I groaned at the beam of sunlight that hit my eyes. Pushing myself up I looked around finding myself in a forest clearing. Next to me was a surprising sight. My cybernetic nine tailed fox was what woke me. But what was different was that the metal and rest of it now had some organic traits to it like actual fangs and a mouth when it was just painted on due to time constraints. The metal actually had a texture like fur and the optics had a actual design like a eye. Printed on the forehead was a black lotus symbol.
"Finally your up! What in the world happened? Where are we" said my cyber fox in a young feminine tone.
"I got no clue moonlight things happened pretty quickly last I checked I was buying something. In fact I feel odd" I said trying to not freak out that the cyber vixen was if I was seeing this correctly as alive as a real fox.
I stood and quickly bent my knees from the pain standing straight gave me. What in the world was that. I took off my helmet and lucky me there was a pond I could look through. I looked at my reflection and was surprised. I looked the same but my skin had gone from tanned to albino levels. Even my black hair had turned white. The only thing that remained unaffected was my eyes. Well the iris at least. The whites had turned black with my pupils turning electric yellow. I still had my props and I prodded the extensions that made the knees of the warframe. I froze feeling the sensation of touching my own skin. This wasn't happening. Somehow some way I had become a tenno! I clenched my hand and nearly jumped at seeing electricity spark off my hands. That confirmed it I was officially a space ninja from a futuristic earth now. I guess jack trans would no longer do for my name. Bolt would have to do for now. Standing I heard a small buzz of insect wings. Turning I was nose to muzzle with what looked like a pony and a bug hybrid. I recognized it as a changeling from mlp.
We just stood there like that and I coughed into my hand awkwardly.
"Well this is awkward can you please move back a bit I don't have any control over my abilities. I don't want you to get zapped by accident" I said. The changeling who I just noticed resembled chrysalis just nodded and flew a few feet back. I blinked noting that surprisingly it was Chrysalis at a young age. She looked around one years old. I picked up my helmet and blinked seeing a dead changeling corpse.
A dead changeling queen.
Realization dawned on me. I arrived at some point in chrysalis' life. Possibly before the events of mlp. She had imprinted on me as her parent. Great I'm now a farther at twenty at least I have experience raising kids thanks to part time babysitting.
I frowned noting the injuries on the corpse. Those looked like laser burns. That meant that the grineer or another warframe fraction was in equestria. They looked recent.
Putting on my helmet I pulled out my bow and some arrows.
"Stay with me kid if I'm right whoever attacked you is still near" I said notching it. She looked fearful and hid with moonlight looking after her. I listened for anything around me. Taking a deep breath I focused.
*snap*
Quick as a bolt of lightning I aimed and fired into the tree tops. With a thunk sound a red armored deformed being crashed down and released some items much like in the game. Picking them up I retrieved the arrow and frowned at the corpse inwardly feeling regret that I just killed. Definitely grineer or corpus. And where one is more are not that far behind. Pulling my kunai out I felt my electricity charge them.
Motioning moonlight to guard the little changeling queen I leapt into the tree tops. With the higher ground I started to pick off grineer or corpus batman arkham asylum style collecting the drops once I was sure there were no more in the area.
Picking up Chrysalis and Moonlight I started to travel to find a place to hide until I could make sense of what was going on.
How are grineer/corpus even on equestria. Was this why the balance twins tricked me when I bought my items from them. Because I was needed to protect this world? Suddenly I found what looked like a mesa warframe unconscious in another clearing. Deciding to set up camp there maybe she can help me figure out what was going on.

I slowly pushed myself up, shaking my head to try and cure me of this drowsiness. When I finally got to my feet, I took a good look at my surroundings. I seemed to be in some kind of forest, where the trees weren't very close together, allowing a good amount of sunlight to come in. "A forest? How did I get here?" I heard my voice, and grabbed my throat, not even recognizing my own voice. But when I grabbed my throat, I felt something on my body. I looked at my hands, noticing that I was wearing some kind of suit. It appeared to be mostly grey, with some light green on it, but what caught most of my attention was the two orbs sticking off my chest. "Did... I become a Warframe or something?" I said to myself, shaking in fear, as my memories started coming back.
I remembered everything going black, and how strange it felt. I remember buying that staff, and I remember what the merchant said about who it was from. 'Ember of course.' "I've become Ember?" I felt my back, and pulled out my staff I bought, before examining it. "It's made of some kind of space metal now, isn't it." But before I could do anything else, I heard a loud growl, and turned around to see a strange creature slowly walking up to me. "A manticore?"
I put one hand in front of me, in a calming gesture, and kept the other on my staff. "Easy now. I don't want to bother you." The manticore didn't believe me, as it charged at me, and I tried to dodge, but I was unused to the weight of the suit, and got trapped underneath it. The manticore roared in my face, as I felt a need to relieve my anger from being sent to this place. "Get off of me!" I yelled, and managed to smack my staff into the side of it's head.
The manticore was dazed, and allowed me to get free, and get a few feet away from it, before it tried to charge me again. But this time, I quickly dodged it, and slammed my staff into the back of it's neck, knocking it out. Not wasting a second, I ran away from the manticore, hoping it won't wake up. I quickly came across a small lake, and examined myself in it. I had a mask on, with some kind of thing poking off the top. And I realized something else... I am definitely a girl now. Looking up at the sky, I noticed it was around afternoon, and I decided to keep moving, hoping to find some form of civilization.
(Theyellowninja13)
I quickly charged through the trees, ripping trees straight from their roots. "Where is she!" The she I was talking about is my younger sister Nisha. Since I arrived in this forest, as the Warframe I was dressed up as, and I heard Nisha yell when we seemed to have left the convention, I could only assume that she appeared here too, as Mesa.
It was strange really, waking up as a powerful Warframe. Even barely touching the trees almost turned them to shreds from my immense physical power. I even came across some kind of wooden wolf creatures, which I turned to sawdust with a single stomp. I heard a growl, and came across a giant bear. "Why can't they just leave me alone!" The bear swiped it's arm at me, which I quickly caught, before spinning around, and slamming the bear into several trees in a split second. While the bear was dazed, I quickly continued running, seeing some smoke rising above some trees.
I quickly burst through the trees to see a Volt Warframe tending a fire, while a small black bug pony and a robot animal sat nearby. But what really got my attention, was the Mesa Warframe laying on the ground, unconscious.
ΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔ
(Geo Hikari)
I looked up at the sound of crashing wood to find a rhino warframe had arrived. We just stared at each other in a kind of stand off.
"Hello there name's bolt the vixen over there is moonlight and the changeling is Chrysalis do you know the tenno over here? We just found her a half hour ago. I tended to her wounds as best I could. I'm guessing you both got here like I did? Oh and be careful I don't know if any grineer or corpus are in the area. And yes they are here I encountered them when I came to" I said making sure he wasn't going to get mad. He was a tank after all.
"Chuck and yeah she's my sister nisha. Do you know what is going on" asked chuck.
"Far as I can tell we were transported to equestria as the actual beings we were dressed up as. Got a bit of shock at what I look like now. Trust me it's odd. I can't even stand straight anymore. Painful experience due to the way the knees are now built. I'm stuck walking like a soldier on a battle field" I said.
"She's waking up" said moonlight who I now realized was looking down on nisha from above. This was not going to be good. By the way chuck figgited I knew that nisha was the one to pull weapons out and think later.
ΔΔΔΔΔΔΔ
(theyellowninja13)
My eyes shot open, and I immediately noticed two people next to me. Acting on instincts, I quickly flipped myself onto my feet, and back flipped a several feet back, getting a good look at both the people nearby. One looked like a Volt Warframe, while the other looked like a Rhino one. And there was a small floating fox thingy, and a small bug pony nearby too. Then, the strangest thing that I noticed, was that I was holding two Regulator pistols, pointing them both at both Warframes. "Okay. Where the crap am I!"
The Volt Warframe started talking first. He kept his arms out, as he talked peacefully. "Now, let's not fight. We're all in this together." But before I could react, the Rhino Warframe immediately grabbed me in a hug.
"Sis! You're okay!" 'Wait, 'sis?' But the only person who calls me that, and has a right to call me that is...'
"Chuck!" I yelled, returning the hug, not wanting to let go, in case I lost him again. But I did let go, when I realized that my costume felt different. "Man, my suit feels weird."
Chuck started nervously laughing. "Well, you see... we kinda became our costumes."
"What?" I asked, not believing. I quickly tried to remove my gloves, before I noticed that they wouldn't come off. Then, realization dawned on me. "Oh, crap." I quickly remember the only other person here, and turned around to face him. "So... I assume you're not the real Volt either?"
The Volt guy chuckled, before responding. "No I'm not. My name's Bolt." He pointed to the flying vixen thing. "That's Moonlight." He pointed to the bug pony. "And that's Chrysalis."
"So, any idea why we are our costumes, and how we got teleported to a forest? Or what forest we're in?" I asked, deciding to sit down, and relax, after my freak out.
"Not quite sure about why, or how. But the forest seems to be the Everfree Forest. In Equestria." 'Equestria? As in horses?'
"Okay... what's the Everfree Forest, and what's Equestria?" I caught a quick glimpse of Chuck, who was trying to lean against a tree, but kept destroying trees.
"They're places from a show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." 'Oh, that show.'
"Never watched it. So, I guess we will be coming across a bunch of ponies that want to 'friendship' us?" I asked, not quite sure what tone of voice I'm taking.
But before Bolt could respond, a large shape landed on the ground in front of us, shining powerful sunlight into each of our eyes. I couldn't really see who it was, but I could make out a shape about as large as me, a horn perfect for kabobs, and two large wings that are each probably longer than Chuck's body.

I blinked and now I got a good look at the alicorn in our mist oddly noting my new charge hiding behind me like a shy child. She was white with a tri colored mane and then I realized she looked to be in her teens. 'Definitely before the events of the show' I thought.
"Celestia? Well this was unexpected" I said and I was thankful of my helmet as I noticed chuck and nisha stared at me, obviously surprised I know this alicorn mare.
"How do ye know thy name" asked celestia in a hostile tone, by the scratches on her body I guess she ran into the grineer or corpus. I honestly couldn't tell the two fractions apart.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you" I said and celestia glared before charging her horn. But I noticed something behind her that made me curse in my mind. A grineer or corpus was right behind her ready to kill her. Before anyone could react I threw a kunai right at the enemy behind her. Celestia was startled thinking I was attacking her only to be confused when the kunai went over her shoulder only looking back when the foe hit the ground with drops appearing. I sighed and retrieved my weapon while picking up the drops.
"As you can see princess we are not with the grineer or corpus in fact you can say us tenno are more or less as against them as you" I said removing my helmet and I faintly heard nisha and chuck gasp at the sight of my changes.
"Tenno" asked celestia.
"Think of us as a race of guardians my name is bolt. The fox vixen there is moonlight. The filly there is Chrysalis my new charge. These deformed freaks killed her mother so she is under my care. And I'll let these two introduce themselves. But first better take care of any others in the area where one is more are sure to follow. Nisha can you look after chrysalis for me until I get back you both have limited ammo for your weapons so you got to conserve them" I said and only heard a slight confirmation as I again went batman on the enemies. When I got back they were staring at all the drops I got from them.
"We better hurry and find a base of operations it's dangerous to be out in the open right now" I said. Nisha and chuck nodded seeing as I took over leadership being the more expert on this world for now.
Celestia seemed to be joining us as she relaxed glad to have found allies after a while. I divided the resourses I had so far with my current companions as we left with the future changeling queen riding on my shoulders as we soon came by everfree castle where we found Luna celestia's little sister chatting with a excaliber, nyx, neckros and mag warframes making me blink. Looked like we weren't the only ones taken. I had the feeling all 23 warframes were in equestria.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Dundredo)
I ran out of the tunnel system, cursing my brashness. I heard the Grineer behind me.
"Spera ku, hum klem!" I had killed too many to count, before they had cornered me. I had chunks of flesh blown off, and was bleeding profusely. I wound not make the same mistake again. Now, I was wounded and tired. Night had long since fallen on the land, and I was trying to use that to my advantage. I was just thanking all that was holy that my wounds had already clotted. I saw a spotlight sweep in front of the cave, pushing farther and farther out with each arc. I ran for all that i was worth, and managed to get out of sight of the cave before they spotted me. Exhausted, I fell on the ground, falling asleep almost instantly.
ΔΔΔΔΔΔ
(Illua)
I turned as I heard strange gunfire. That sounded like... The sound had gone silent for just a moment, before I heard the screams of innocents and the barking of orders. "... Get your weapons up! Enemy Forces East Side!" I could make out. I turned towards said direction, my blood running cold. rust colored armor held a disproportional figure, with a familar green rifle in its hand. Grineer. I pulled out my Vastos on the same assumption as my blade and fired. The slugs of my revolvers slammed into the face of the cloned monster, felling it and one of its allies.
Their Unfamiliar chatter began as many of them turned to me, the commander on the wall shouting more. "The enemy is Distracted, Attack!" Crossbow bolts and magic began raining down into the forest as I began to sprint towards them, unloading my twin weapons into the abominations. I smiled beneath my mask, my body acting near similarly to my time Roleplaying, as I ducked and disarmed those who rushed me with cleavers. I returned said cleavers into their faces, Throwing a wave of Ice at a platoon right as more fire rained down on them. It was a matter of moments before I was surrounded however.
"Enough!" I heard a voice yell above me. I didn't risk it being friendly, and dropped my shield, Just as a cobalt beam rained upon those surrounding me. Replacing my Vastos in their holster, I pulled the Tiberon from my back and began to snipe the survivors of that incredible attack, forcing many to retreat against the overwhelming force. I looked up at the sudden attacker and Blinked, before reloading a new clip into my rifle. Looks Like I was saved by Luna... Gotta pay her back now.. I thought, dropping the shield as I cast another ice wave, freezing more Grineer in place, as beams of midnight and explosives rained from on high.
"Discord, We Understand though likest thine chocolate milk, but at least drink that and not the cups!"
"But Luna, what fun is in that? The chaos it sews among these monsters is just Delightful."
I thought those two were enemies? I continued to fight, pushing that to the back of my mind, as our combined efforts decimated the attacking force. I looked around at the dead grineer, and noticed that they had dropped ammo and resources, as well as the occasional weapon that hadn't self destructed. Just as I had bent down for the ammo, I felt something sharp press against my back. "If thou wish to continue breathing, Might I suggest making thyself erect, and declaring your allegiance?" I sighed. I stood back up as I raised my hands, my weapons back in their sheaths.
"I am currently unaligned, although, The Grineer and Corpus are my foe." I said, keeping still. At this range, If I dropped a globe, I still would not be able to push them away before I would be harmed. I waited with baited breath, listening to the flaps of wings come down, scavenging the field.
"Very well. The Enemy of mine enemy is my friend. I am Princess Lu-"
"Oooh! A Human! I haven't seen one of you since I last wandered the void! How's your Earth? Who sent you here? I hope it was one of the Twins, Maybe even the Employer."
I blinked under my mask, and tilted my head. "Excuse me?"
"Oh Yes, Might I introduce my self. I am Discord, Lord of all Chaos and Grandmaster of Tricks. I had made a few friends of Void Dwellers, and called a few favors."
Luna glared at Discord. "Discord, Please Shutest thine mouth." Discord literally zipped his lips. "Anyways... It seems Discord's favor worked out. We have the assistance we need to turn the tides. Please, Come with me. We shall speak to our sister at once, and we will explain what we know there." She motioned with a wing, walking slowly as Discord hovered.
This is gonna be hell. Isn't it?

(Dundredo)
Whispers, that's all that I heard. Floating in a dreamlike state, I felt at peace. Then my mind began processing what it heard. It was a multi layered voice that echoed in impossible ways.
"We have waited long for you to sleep, Tenno. We are happy to speak with you." I shivered at the words, and opened my eyes. I saw only blackness, and felt nothing.
"Where am I? And who are you?" I asked. The voice made a slightly amused sound.
"You are dreaming, and soon shall awake. But we are the Technocyte in your body." I stiffened at those words, remembering that the Technocyte is what made the Infested.
"What do you want?" I asked in an aggressive way. the Technocyte made another amused sound before answering.
"We sense your fears. But they are unfounded. We merely wish to communicate with our symbiote. And we cannot do that while you're awake. At least, not yet." I relaxed a little at this, but kept my guard up.
"What do you mean, symbiote?"
"Other Tenno have Technocyte in them, but they have dominate it. In them, it is merely a dumb servant. They don't get many benefits from it." I stiffened as I felt a tendril wrap lovingly around me. "But you have not dominated us, and we are grateful for it. We will serve you to the best of out ability, but first you must open up to us. Your mind is strong, so we will never be able to open your mind for you, but union with us will make you more powerful than ever before. So please let us in, Tenno."
"How do I know I won't just become another infested?" I asked desperately. I was afraid now. This was by far the worst thing that had happened so far.
"You don't have any proof, except for our word." It whispered into my ear. I felt something caress my face, and I nearly screamed. "But now you wake, and we must stop this conversation. We hope we will speak again soon, Tenno." As it finished that sentence, I woke up.
I sat up quickly, on the edge of screaming. My panic soon subsided as I saw that I was in the waist land again. I let out a sigh of relief. I got up, thinking about the dream. I wanted to discredit it, but it seemed all too real. The memory wasn't fading like a normal dream would. Shivering at the memory, I began to walk.

(Forgedheart)
When I woke up I was laying face-down on the ground, I couldn’t hear anything but a ringing sound like when you’re to close to an explosion. The ringing quickly subsided and was replaced with a deafening roar, I tried to cover my ears but found I was wearing a helmet, it was so unbearable I screamed “SHUT UP!!” The roar immediately dulled but was still there, like when you shove your beeping alarm clock under your pillow. I slowly rolled over, sat up, and got a quick look at my surroundings. I was in a forest and I was currently sitting next to a river. “Where the hel-” I stopped as I heard a voice as soft as the wind and brought my hand to my throat What happened to my voice?!.
I looked down at myself and immediately noticed a few things, one: I was still in my warframe costume but it didn’t feel like a costume it felt like actual armor, it was flexible yet It felt durable hell I could even feel stuff through it like the grass, the wind, even the small splashes of water from the river. Two my senses felt and : I HAD BOOBS!!!(they weren't very big but thats not the point) not only that but I could feel that my whole body had changed. frantically I felt for some kind of latch to remove my helmet ,I found it near the back of my neck, I pulled the helmet off and crawled towards the river and gasped. In my place sat a beautifully pale woman with raven black hair that fell just past her shoulders, her eyes were a deep green, and she was blushing slightly. Is..Is that me?I thought to myself as I reached up and touched my cheek, the girl did the same, “oh my.” I looked relatively the same as before (the hair,eye,and skin color) but looked ..well like a girl. I was stunned to say the least, somehow I had been turned into a girl, brought into a strange forest and left for dead, but one of things that disturbed me the most (other than suddenly being a girl) was I was put into perfectly form-fitted body armor. I sat up and started to freak out a bit What’s going on?! Why am I a Girl?! Where am I?! What if I die out here? will I ever see my friends or family Again? I shook my head Calm down those are problems for later first I need to find any signs of civilization. I grabbed my helmet pulled it on, I noticed the replicas I bought were still on my back and sides.
I wonder.. curious I grabbed the attica off my back, pointed it at a nearby tree and pulled the trigger, immediately afterwards it fired off a volley of three bolts that lodged themselves in the wood. “holey-shit this is a real gun!” I decided to indulge myself a bit and (Like the nerd I was.) started practicing my Marksmanship, after about fifteen minutes of shooting far off trees I put my weapon away and started walking down stream, when I stopped...I could feel or rather hear something near me. On instinct I grabbed my nikana, pulled it from it’s sheath, and fell into the stance I used when sparring with dad. I closed my eyes and waited, I heard three sets of footsteps slowly walking towards me. when two of them got close enough I turned and gave a horizontal slash with my sword. I heard an inhuman death cry and opened my eyes and saw what appeared to be two grineer butchers lying cut in half in front of me.
Before I could respond A metal dagger pierced my upper-arm I screamed as I was dragged towards a third grineer this one held a sword that glowed orange and had a cable that extended from one wrist to the dagger in arm, It was a Scorpion. When I reached it the dagger was pulled away and the soldier prepared to kill me, but I was faster I slashed at it’s legs and as it fell to the ground I quickly got up and thrust my sword into it’s head killing it. I flicked the blood from my sword and re-sheathed it crap this means others will show up. I turned towards the woods and saw a castle in the distance, deciding it would be safer there I ran towards it wondering if there are other frames here.

My eyes widened as I saw the barren waist land cut off suddenly, to be replaced with grassy land. I quickly ran towards it, and arrived quickly. I ran to the top of a hill, and promptly fell down on top of it. I enjoyed the feel of grass against my body, and stared up at the sky. After a few minutes of this, I got back up. I saw something in the distance, and squinted to see whatever it was. It seemed to be a castle perched impossibly on the side of a mountain. I smiled as I set off toward civilization.

Warmth.
Everything around me was warm. My body was warm. The sunlight was warm...
I didn't want to stand up. I knew I should, but everything was so warm...
I feel like I'm being cuddled by small birds. Wait... being cuddled by small birds?
My eyes shot open, I looked around. Everywhere some hybrid-species-corpses were to be seen, there was a river ending in a waterfall. As i walked to the cliff of the waterfall, I was able to look around.
The land must have once been beautiful... but everywhere you could see devastation from war. I don't even know how I could see that, I simply knew it was.
There were some voices, slowly growing louder, but I couldn't understand them. I ignored them.
I ignored them, until I heard gunshots. I stumbled, and fell. I couldn't understand, why was I here? Who attacked me? During my fall, I turned around. What I saw... were Grineer. The same ones from the game. I didn't know why, they were just part of a game, but I couldn't think about it. The waterfall was not very high up, so I crashed into the water. All around the lake I crashed into, I could see Grineer. Even in the game, you couldn't fight this many.
It was then, that I became aware of the armour I was wearing. Limbo's armour, to be exact.
I hoped, prayed, wished with all my might for his power to traverse into Limbo to activate, so I could get out of this...
And everything went away.

I was woken up by the sounds of a windy breeze as my eyes slowly opened. Right off the bat, I noticed three things that were definitely not ordinary. The first thing was my location. Before I passed out, I was in a convention hall. Now, I was in a freaking forest and a creepy one at that. Second was what I was seeing… literally. I saw two colored bars like the ones in game that represented the players health and Shield capacity. Only this time, they were reflecting on my health. I even saw a energy bar and four icons on the lower bottom left of my peripheral vision. I recognized the designs.
They represented Oberon’s abilities…… Smite, Hollow Ground, Renewal, and finally, Reckoning.
Holy sh*t…… I’m a F***ing Tenno.
The third thing was my gear. Originally, my weapons were nothing more than plastic props. Now, they were freaking metal weapons. I even tested the theory of if they were real or not by simply swinging my sword, only for it to cut a tree in half. All of this was exciting and all, but on the top left corner of my visual screen, I could see a map icon and something going off like waves of sonar. But nothing was bouncing back.
What I did hear though was the sounds of machines as I ducked behind a bush. Peaking out, I saw three Corpus drones scanning the area. Possibly searching for individuals like me.
Probably searching for other Tenno.
I had to get out of here. Find high ground. Survey the current situation. If I only had an Enemy sense modification on me right now to pick up the positions of nearby enemies, but I’ll worry about that later. Right now, I had to run. Starting off in a sprint, I ran up a cliff wall and flipped over, now getting a glimpse of the entire valley that I was thrown into.
It was all covered in snow and small setups of Corpus Mining Operations were trying to excavate some of the HUGE crystals that were stuck from the ground. Typical for them to be trying something like that. The Corpus in Warframe were a cult of merchants that were driven by only one thing. Profit. Sell anything… to anyone...
It was around now when I began to hear some nearby voices. Looking at the ledge, I saw two Corpus foes like thirty feet below me. One of them being a Technician and another one being the Prod crewmen jerks that carry the stun batons. They were talking in their own language, which I personally called Corpish, and I couldn’t understand them at first. But then, I could feel my suit kicking in as I began to hear the words being translated into english.
“Hey, what was with the cargo that Salvage Team Bravo acquired earlier?”
“All I was told was that it was contraband weapons and that it was related to the small group of locals that they encountered earlier. They killed the others and took the captain they had as a hostage. They’re actually loading up in the ship right now.”
Looking up, was when I noticed that a Corpus Ship was just about ready to take off and that the ledge that it would rise up too would allow for me to jump on there. If this captive was against the Corpus and knew about weapons that would be considered as contraband, then that would be an ally that I would want to have. I pulled out Latron, using the scope to get a closer look at the targets. There were two normal crewmen in the main compartment along with two prod crewman guarding a silver crate with holes, which I assumed to be the hostage, and a pilot in the front portion of the vehicle, that’s when I also noticed something else.
Something like a warning label. The sensors in my helmet translated the scripture that was engraved to say “WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE ENERGY CORES UNGUARDED.” I felt a surge of confidence. If I can pull this shot off, then I can send the whole thing crashing down. But then again, if I miss, I alert the enemies of my location. What should I do?
That was when a Corpus osprey appeared alongside the ship, giving me an idea. Oberon’s first ability, Smite, fired a projectile of light that when it hit a target, it dispersed and bounced off nearby surfaces, striking every opponent in it’s wake. Now was my chance to see how to work with my frames powers.
Aiming with my left hand, I fired the Twirling shot of energy as it destroyed the flying drone and homed in on it’s nearby targets. The ricochet's not only hit the four on board and killed them, but also hit my intended target. The Pilot himself was beginning to panic as the ship came tumbling downwards into the snow like a Snowspeeder got shot down in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Hopping down from the ledge, I ran over to find the cage and the injured pilot. I was not sure if he was dead or not, but I didn’t take any chances and silenced him with one of my Cestra’s.
Next task though was the cage. The original plan was to use my Dex Dakra blades to pop it open like a crowbar, but that was when I saw that it needed a security codex for it to unlock. Just like in the game, a small puzzle appeared in which I had to line up the cyphers in a certain shape for the box to open. When it was released, a white unicorn with a Dark brown mane and a mark of two crossed swords on his rear stepped out.
“A-are they gone?” He asked himself, looking around before seeing me. “Y-you-!!”
“Shh shh shh,” I ushered him. “Calm yourself. I’m not going to hurt you.”
“Y-you’re a Tenno, aren’t you?”
I was speechless at this point, but before being able to ask, the equine interjected. “Don’t be alarmed. I know somepony who is looking for individuals like yourself.” Turning to a crate in the snow, he casted a spell that removed the magical lock that was placed on it and used his levitation spell to pull out a couple of weapons that I can recognize.
Daikyu and Skana, A tenno crafted Longbow and sword.
“Come, we must hurry before more show up.”
“O-okay,” I reply to him. “But who are you though?”
“I am Captain Heartblade. What should I call you, Tenno?”
I thought it over for like a couple of seconds, but then replied back with a grin that he couldn’t see because of my helmet. “Oberon. You may call me Oberon.”
“Well, Oberon, it’s good to have you on our side. We need individuals such as yourself if we want to remove these foul invaders from our home. But we should go… Princess Platinum will explain everything to you before we try and contact Celestia. I have a feeling that our allies have found others like you. Now, hang on. I’m going to teleport us out. Get ready”
“Wait wha-?!”
And that was when a bright flash of light caused my head to spin nonstop. God, I hate it when that happens.
