Chapter 5: Something New.

After speaking with Quick Strike I entered my quarters and waited for her to enter when she was done for the day.  While I waited I did some calculations for the placement of the Dojo where it exits the void.  My Dojo was owned by my clan named Phoenix Team which was a moon size clan with 750 members.  It meant I had to place it quite far away from the planet itself.  An hour passed, I was suddenly ripped away from my thoughts at the same time I heard knocking at the door then went to answer it. Opening the door I saw Quick Strike waiting at the door.  “You're ready to see my family?” She said.

“Always I am, my lady.” I said with a bow.

“Oh a gentle colt.” She teased me and I returned with a smile starting following her down the hall.

“You said you have two fillies?” I asked.

“Yes I do the most wonderful fillies I have ever had.” She replied.

“How old are they?” I asked.

“The youngest is at five and the oldest is at the age of nine.” She replied.

“Wait you leave your kids at home all alone?” I asked.

“No I get a foal sitter watch them when they come back from school.” she replied.

“Foal sitter…?” I asked.

“A foal sitter is a pony who comes and watches your kids while you're away.” She replied with an annoyed tone.

“Why are you moody now?  Was it something I said?” I asked.

‘Sigh’ “How could you not know what a foal sitter is?” She asked.

“Well I have been fighting wars all my life.” I said.

“Oh...You said wars how many did you fight in?” she asked.

“Two major wars one of them is still going on, which I need to get back to.” I said.

“How can you handle that much violence?” she asked.

“I have been trained to do so and it’s also a part of life” I answered.

“Oh…” She replied.

“Anyway let’s end the war questions and ask some more practical questions.” I said.

“All right ummm what’s your age?” she asked.

“I’m twenty five years, I have been told that it’s rude to ask the age  of a girl but I’m gonna ask anyway so what’s yours?” I said.

“Same here.” She said. “Oh were here already.” She said as we stood in front of her house with two stories tall and the usual color scheme of Canterlot white based color and with some decor but since it’s dark I couldn’t see the color of the decors.

“Great! can’t wait to meet your family!” I said.

“I’m glad you're excited.” She said as she unlocked the door and held it opened for me.

“Thank you.” I said as I entered.

“You're welcome” She said as she closed the door behind us. “Kids I’m home and I have a guest come and meet him!” She shouted.

“Mommy!” I hear a voice around a corner as I waited.

After 2 minutes of waiting a Unicorn filly with a red coat and pink mane and a pagasus mare at the age of nine with the color of light blue coat with a snow white mane and a stripe of red in the middle of her mane came around the corner.

“Hi Mooommm…” The oldest of them said as she noticed me and fear spread across her face.

“Greetings” I said.

“Um Mom who’s that?” The oldest asked.

“He is a Tenno named Rhino Prime and he’s the one who repelled the queen of the changelings and the changeling army.” Quick Strike said which made their mouths drop.

“May I acquire your names?” I asked.

“I’m Red Rose!” The youngest said with excitement.

“Umm I’m Blue Sky.” The oldest said.

“It’s nice to meet your acquaintance” I said.

“Are you going to be our dad?” Red Rose asked.

Quick Strike and I gave a chuckle at the filly’s innocence. “No, not yet at least.” I said as Quick Strike took of her armor which changed her coat color to pink and the mane to red with a blue stripe going down the left side.

“How…..?” I asked while pointing at Quick Strike.

“Oh my coat change? It’s an enchantment on my armor which changes my coat color to white and blue mane.” She replied.

“Oh…” I said stunned.

“Please make yourself comfortable.” Quick Strike said.

“Thank you.” I said and went to sit on a couch which gave a squeak when I sat down.

They came and sat on both of my sides the kids to my right and Quick Strike to my left.

All of us sat there asking questions to each other as time passed we had dinner except for me since I couldn’t eat. Then back to more questions by then it got pretty late.

“Oh look at the time it’s nine thirty in the evening.” Quick Strike said. “Kids it’s time for you all to head to bed.” She said.

“Awwww but Mom!” They whined.
“No buts” She said. 

“Finee…” They whined.

“Well I better get going then.” I said.

“No you can’t it’s dark outside you can sleep here.” She said. 

“I’m sure I can find my way back to my ship” I replied.

“I insist that you stay.” She said.

“All right if you insist” I said. “Where may I stay?” I asked.

“Um we don’t have any guest rooms so you could share the bed in my room...with me.” She said.

This caught me off guard because I never got asked to bed with a female of any kinds.  “Umm...Sure…” I said.

“Great! This way” She said to follow and I did. 

As we entered I saw her room. The room was decorated with the same decor as outside but with paintings and furniture. The furniture was a closet standing up against the wall ahead of me a king sized bed to its right with cupboards surrounding it. To my right was another cupboard with a T.V. set on top.

“Nice room” I said.

“Thank you” She said as she laid down on the bed with a seductive pose and patting to the side where I was going to lay down.

“ Also wanted to thank you for letting me stay here.” I said as I sat on the edge of the bed.

“No problem.” She said as she pulled me down so I was lying down on my back with her holding the side of my torso.

“Um Quick Strike I think it’s a bit too early for this, you barely know me.” I said getting her to stop and prop her head up with her hoof looking at me.

“Well then let’s get to know each other better then.” She said.
“Hmm wow I see what you're trying to come here and it’s working I told you what I am and what I do you should have figured out which is fighting, but you don’t know  what I fight for and against.” I said.

“Which are…?” She asked.

“I fight for peace to end the conflict between all factions fighting it the Corpus the Grinirr and the Tenno which is my faction. I fight the Corpus the Grinirr and the Infested.” I said.

“Wow and you face that every day?” She asked.

“ Yes I do.” I said with a nod.

“Wow” She said as she stared at me.

“Well tell me more about yourself.” I said.

“Well It’s not much but all I do is stand at my post and keep look out and look intimidating that pretty much my job since I’m a mare.” She said.

“Wow, but why is that?” I asked.

“Because mares aren’t allowed to join the Royal Guard.” She said.

“Ohh…” I wondered of in thought. ‘we do have 250 extra space in the Dojo should I even try and recruit these ponies?’ I thought.

“Um Rhino Prime hello??” Quick Strike said while waving a hoof in front of my face.

“Oh what?” I said confused.

“What happened? are you okay?” She asked.

“Oh I’m fine, just lost in thought.” I said.  “I wanted to ask you how did you get two daughters if you're single?” I asked.

“Oh...um I got….raped…” She said as she started to cry.

“It’s okay I’m sorry I asked, let it all out” I said as I held her.

We sat there for a while before going to sleep.

The Next Day

I was the first to wake and got out of bed as Ordis spoke up. “Operator there’s an Identified ship drifting towards Equis and is about to enter the aaaaaatmospheeerrreeee.” Ordis said. 

“Ordis what ship is it? and are you alright?” I asked.

“Yes Operator I’m finnneeeee and the ship is an Orokin Cruisssseeeerrrrr.” Ordis said. 

“All Right when it makes contact with the ground mark it’s location.” I said as Quick Strike woke.

“Yes Operator” Ordis replied.

“Thank you” I said.

“Who are you talking to?” Quick Strike asked.

“Ordis” I replied.

“Ordis who’s Ordis?” She asked.

“He’s an A.I. onboard my ship and before you ask and A.I. stands for artificial intelligence.” I said.

“Oh…” She said.

“I’ll be going, some business I need to take care of.” I said. 

“What already! Why?” She asked.

“Like I said need to take care of some business.” I said as I headed for the main door which got Quick Strike to follow.

“Good bye Quick Strike I hope I can see you soon!” I said before leaving.

“Good bye Rhino Prime See you soon!” She shouted after me and waving me off.

A few minutes later I was heading to the castle while the Orokin ship came soaring across the sky and crashed in a nearby forest. So I hurried to my ship to equip my Galantine, my Penta and my Talons. After equipping my weapons Ordis flew me to the crash site.

I landed at the crash site then I saw the burnt and turn armor platings of the ship.
I scanned the whole ship and found out that this was one of the lucky ships that didn’t get infected but what could have caused the ship to drift in space? 

I wandered the ship until I found a room filled with Cryo Pods and saw a console to my left and the battery of the ship still giving power to the console.   I looked at the console I saw that one of the Cryo pods was occupied. I pressed the release button and caused a Cryo pod to my right to hiss and pop open.

I rushed over to the Cryo pod and saw an Orokin citizen fall out from the pod who I caught and sat him down leaning against another pod.

I stood over him as he awoke shortly after he came out.

“What ! , did we win?” He mumbled.

“Easy you're waking up from cryosleep” I said.

“Thanks what’s your name…..wait I recognize you, you're a Warframe, a Rhino Prime series.” He said.

“Yes I am a Rhino Prime.  I’m also called by that so it’s also my name.” I replied.

“Oh I see, my name is Hakkar or you can call me Rabbit.” He said. I noticed he’s wearing a white cloak which was closed with three golden rings at the top. The cloak had a hod on with rabbit like ears drooping down from the hod going all the way and stopping at his lower back on each end of the ears there are golden rings attached.  I finally noticed he was also wearing a black robe underneath from the small gap at the top of the cloak. And he’s bare footed as all other Orokin citizens was in their time. He had a Carrier Prime floating above him as it came out of a storage container which it shot through to get out. 

“We can’t stay here there’s a native settlement nearby I’ll need to take you there before we can ask questions.” I said.

“Okay” Hakkar said and tried to stand but failed because he was still sick from cryo sickness.  Then came the sound I did not want to hear.


Stalker has arrived.
But I noticed he’s only level 5 when he spawned.

“I’ll be your reckoning!” Stalker said.

“Not today buddy.” I replied but I heard other voices I noticed it was the voices of the mane six.   I was distracted and Stalker attacked. He managed to hit me before I swang my Galatine and taking half his health with it. By then the mane six was witnessing the fight. Stalker came again but this time I was prepared with one hand I swung my sword and defeated him. But as usual he would disappear in a smoke leaving things behind. Credits a useless mod but then jack pot! The War BluePrint!

“Rhino Prime I didn’t know you were here and who was that you fought against?” Twilight asked.

“That was a rogue Tenno called Stalker. I’m here because this is an Orokin ship.” I replied. “But I found an Orokin citizen that goes by the name Hakkar” I said pointing to Hakkar who waved back.

“Oh are there more?” She asked.

“No I could only find him.” I said as I went to pick him up. “There you go now let's get out of here.” I said.

“Thank Rhino Prime” Hakkar said.

“No problem.” I Replied.

While we exited the wreckage I saw Princess Celestia and a platoon of guards waiting.

I walked up to Princess Celestia and said “Greetings Princess it’s nice to see you again.”

“Hello Rhino Prime nice to see you too, may I ask who’s that you got in your arms?” She asked.

“Princess I introduce you to Hakkar an Orokin citizen and maybe the only survivor since the downfall of the Orokin Empire.” I said.

“Okay but I don’t remember sending you here?” She asked.

“It’s my business as it’s the property of the Tenno.” I said. She stared at me for a while as she thought.

“All right fine, but what are you going to do with the wreck and Hakkar here?” She asked.

“With the wreckage I’ll see if I can  get some data or all out of the computers then I’ll take it apart and use what I get for spare parts. With Hakkar I’ll need to aid him as he’s suffering from cryosleep sickness then a talk later.” I said.

“All right you may go.” She said as she headed down to inspect the wreck herself.

“Ordis bring the Orbiter here I’ve got a patient” I said to Ordis over the com link.

“Yes Operator” Ordis replied.

A few minutes passed as the Orbiter came over to my location and landed. I went in side, down the ramp and pressed a button by my arsenal which replaced it with a medical bed but more modern. I placed Hakkar on the bed and told him to lay down as I ran diagnostics on him.
