Rumble slowly walked up to the top of the hill that overlooked Ponyville. He sighed in relaxation as he sat down and saw the sight for what was his home for nearly his whole life.
"Rumble!" A small voice called out from behind.
The Pegasus turned around to see a small unicorn with a pink and emerald green mane and a yellow coat running up to him in excitement.
"Hey there, Tidal." Rumble called to him.
The unicorn ran over and gave him a hug.
"What'cha doing Rumble?" He asked. Rumble picked him up and set him down on the ground.
"Just enjoying the view little buddy." He said as he looked back at the peaceful town. "And waiting for my mail? I here my letter from the Wonderbolts comes today." He said with excitement.
"Do you plan to be the new Captain? I keep hearing that the one they have is sick." Tidal said.
'Oh she's not sick... poor Blaze. He's probably stressed out over the pregnancy scandal.' rumble thought with a grin on his face.
"No, I plan to not be busy and visit family as often as I can."
"So, they care for you?" Tidal asked.
"Of course."
"Really? My parents always seem to say this day is special to them." Tidal said. "They always send me out. Is it because it's the anniversary of the second royal wedding?"
"That's a few months from now." Rumble told him.
"I always thought it was because my mom knew the Princess that got married."
"I did too. She helped test my wingpower once." Rumble looked back at the unicorn.
"But your parents love you very much. Trust me."
"But what's so special about today that I got sent out by my parents?" Tidal asked.
'Why would they-' Rumble had it all click in a few moments.
"Ohhhhh!" He said loudly.
"What is it?" The colt asked.
"It really has been ten years. I'm shocked we're not having a celebration." Rumble thought out loud.
"What!?" Tidal began to get frustrated.
"Come here, Tidal." Rumble said as he waved his hoof to call the young pony over. The colt trotted over and sat down as Rumble put a hoof around his shoulders.
"Ya see, ten years ago. We won."
"Won what? A game?"
"No, anything but." Rumble let the memories flow through. He turned towards the little unicorn.
"Your parents have the right idea to celebrate this day. Your father fought a dangerous enemy that attacked us."
"What!" Tidal's jaw dropped. "My dad's a hero?"
"I thought you knew that." Rumble chuckled.
"Wait! What I mean is that he saved the world?" Tidal asked.
"Not entirely. Yes, he helped save Equestria. But he wasn't the only one." Rumble told him.
"There's more of my dads?" Tidal asked, causing Rumble to laugh.
"No, but they were there to fight the enemy. Your dad helped them, though."
"Wow..." The colt let it sink in. "What were they like?"
"Who?"
"The heroes my dad helped. What kind of ponies were they? Were they ponies? I bet they were Griffon?"
"They were something Equestria had never seen before." Rumble told.
"They, along with the enemy were from a far away place. We still never found out where they were exactly from." Rumble smiled. "But they did nothing more then fight to protect all of us. Weapons and powers used with such a spectacular form and the strongest bond I'd ever seen. In fact, if it weren't for them, your dad would have never gotten back with your mother."
"What were they called?"
Rumble turned and looked at Tidal. "The Tenno. Nearly all of them were here to save us from the enemy."
"Wow, I bet they were cool."
"They were. And to this day, I'm still inspired but their will to stay strong at the hardest of times." Rumble said as he looked at the sky, only to have his thoughts interrupted by Scootaloo calling out to him.
"RUMBLE!"
He looked down to see her jumping up and down.
"WE GOT IN! WE GOT IN!"
She flew up at top speed and threw him into the tightest hug he had ever gotten. Thunderlane, Cloud Chaser and Flitter followed.
"We did?" He asked, shocked.
"Yep. We start tomorrow. Can you believe it?" Scootaloo squeaked in excitement.
"Not at all." Rumble said as he hugged her back.
Scootaloo shook with so much excitement that in the heat of the moment, she gave a quick peck on Rumbles cheek. He put his hoof to where she kissed and smiled to himself.
'This is the best day ever.' He thought as he looked up at the sky with the...
...sun that lit the room as the Excalibur, Trinity, Nova and Nekros sat around the solar map. None spoke a word as they sat and waited.
"Tenno." Lotus called to each. "Alad V is at it again." She said simply.
The call they waited for. They geared up and headed to the pods.
The four took off, ready for the next mission.
Not bad. I would just run through a few small bits of it for minor grammar things, but all in all, definatly worth reading. Good job!
Well, I'm sorry but this is where my favorite gets retracted. I hate sharp edge, I hate the fact that they gave him a warframe which is fucking impossible considering the suits are no more. You can just put a warframe Exoskeleton on a pony considering there are none left and the only wielders of these suits are 10 Tenno and no more. And you can't put an exoskeleton on a pony because it just wouldn't work. Exoskeletons are built to house a specific shape. You can't throw a pony in one without building it in that specific shape. Which by the way would take fucking days. Grineer don't speak the same language and don't have a translator. And corpus can't even fucking talk. They are robots. There are so many things wrong with this story, and I believe that the personality's of all the Tenno aren't even correct. I would've dealt with all that because I love warframe.....then you gave an awful unoriginal OP OC a warframe. Good job author. Good job.
And I haven't even brought up the gratuitous amounts of grammar mess ups and character flops I have to complain about, but I'll spare you the beating.
3726354 Corpus are human - it is only speculated that their helmets distort their speech, which makes sense, because Corpus Targets wear no helmets and speak in clear English.
I agree with most of your other points, though.
3726820 I appreciate the info, I always actually speculated corpus were robots considering the techs literally pull the sentinels out of their asses and they always hang around with moas. And the bosses, well the majority of them are qudrapods trying to murder you.
3726394 It's funny because the stalker doesn't actually use his so said "Preferred weapons" he came at me with an assault rifle and a skana once. <~< and depends how well modded that hate is, not even a rhino can withstand a stalkers slash dash unless iron skin is active. That shit does over 1,200 damage. And seriously, they are so hyped up in the beggining but in the actual game the warframes would only have to do one thing against this many grineer. Spam their ultimates. Do you know how obscene mag, rhino and ash's ultimates are?
3727097 Stalker's original weapons were Braton vandal and a skana.
Wait, I think it was a Cronus.
3730495 I swear it was a skana.
3726354 I'm not sure if you know this, but Sharp Edge wasn't in an actual Warframe, just the suit itself.
Also, at the time, the Grineer spoke English in the game. In fact, I even point out that Sargus Ruk spoke the real language at one point. Pretty sure the Corpus can talk too by the way. If they didn't, I would still make them cause this story would have been boring without dialogue from them.
As for the Tenno, I don't know what they're like in the lore. So I decided to do something that what I thought seemed like them. They're silent in-game, so how would I know what they're actually like.
And I wanted a pony that was actually capable of fighting, it can't all be about the Warframes, ya know.
But thanks for sparing me the beating about Grammar. As you can see, there wasn't much to worry about from that comment.
and of course your favorite got retracted, it's the last chapter.
3773605 Indeed, I remember the days that the grineer spoke complete English, but you have to remember games have updates. And with updates, come changes to many parts of the game itself. And when Sargus Ruk speaks English in game it is very very clear he struggles pronouncing the words and has awful grammar. And another hint to me believing corpus soldiers were robots is because Sargus Ruk calls them machines. And a pony capable of fighting when writing about super armored space ninjas .-.
And putting him in the exoskeleton is the exact same thing, the exoskeletons are what make the warframes. And if he was just put into the suit he would still gain all of the warframes powers and abilities, which is absolute trash considering that suit would not fit him due to the shape which would lead to building another completely different warframe in general, which would take days upon days of gathering materials and then building the final product.... Not to mention the pony's personality in its own right is a laughable piece of Gary Stu, I mean, come on, even his name screams "Hey, I'm good at fighting in a peaceful place." Which is one of the trademarks of a Gary Stu... Especially when he's not in the guard.
3775528 It wasn't an exoskeleton, it was just the material of the armor. Also, considering he was based off Raiden from Metal Gear Solid, he should be lucky his head and spine were removed from him.
3775775 based on raiden.... Wow, that just makes him even worse in my opinion. Raiden is way to cool and advanced to even be put into a normal pony. He's a cyborg, not a god damn pony. And then if it was just the material of the armor, he'd be vastly incomplete, which would lead to absolutely nothing being accomplished in terms of defense!
3776198 Eh, forget it.
Sequel still canceled.
4434218 I dunno, ask DE.
4434243 It seemed right...
3726354
No more than 10 Tenno? I thought that way more than 10 people play Warframe....
