1 Skyfall

"Sidra. We did our best, didn't we?"

"Of course, Pylan. Now it's up to them."

The two figures stood side by side as the entire structure was falling apart. They were the last of the Tenno who were able to make it on to the Citadel. The Grineer had built the Citadel in order to harness the powers of the Warframe, Chronos.

"All pods have been set to launch."

"They may have traveled back in time, but humanity will be ready."

Various explosions rocked their surroundings but it was already too late for Pylan and Sidra. They had already used all their energy to fight their way to the control room.

"Sidra, what do you think the past was like?" Pylan said as he collapsed onto the floor.

"I'm sure it was beautiful before the . . ." Sidra said before her consciousness drifted off.

Pylan fought back tears and dragged himself next to his friend. He wrapped his arms around her body and braced for the end. Suddenly, he felt Sidra's hand touch his and he smiled.

"It's up to you now, people of the past. Protect the future and may the Lotus watch over you!"

A young man was looking over the pier when he noticed something. All the people around him were making a commotion and pointing at the sky. He looked up and saw what appeared to be a falling object heading their way. The crowd started to panic and run away.

(Oh no! I can't escape the blast.)

The young man felt a strange surge of energy envelop his body when the impact happened. Every cell in his body was screaming, the pain was so intense he lost consciousness after a few seconds.

His head was ringing as he picked himself off the floor. All he saw around him was death and destruction. It turned out that there was multiple pieces of flying debris that hit the area. Buildings were destroyed and the rest were falling apart. Countless bodies were scattered and the young man could not spot another survivor.

(Shit! I have to get out of here.)

The young man was standing but he felt like he was slowly fading away. A piece of a building was blocking his path and he tried to push it.

(Damn it! Move!)

As soon as he tried with all his might, a blast of energy came from his hands and the debris budged enough to be moved.

The young man wandered in the hellish landscape for a bit before noticing something. It was a silver pod that had created half of a hole on the roof of a building. It's weight finally made the roof give in and it crashed inside the building.

Despite his present situation, he was inexplicably drawn toward the strange object. He climbed through the ruins of the building and found the pod on the third floor. He approached it and reached to wipe the dust off. But as soon as he touched it, the young man found himself enveloped in yet another wave of energy.

"Warframe Volt, Online."
