Just a small outbreak..

*wee woo*

*wee woo*

Oh what da hell now I was just trying to sleep!

"All non combatants evacuate immediately to drydock 5."

Drum gets out of bed and wipes his eyes off.

"What going on?"

"Something apparently."

"RAGAHHAKOEMANALAOALKEKEMW!"

Something straight out of an HP lovecraft novel screeches in the distance.

"Well, fuck."

I slip my helmet on, my armor was on.. I slept in it.

Armor stays on during naps, sorry females.

"Let's roll out!"

Gome gets behind me, his shotgun over my shoulder and we move out of the room, I wave my supra vandal to each side of the hallway, one side is completely on fire and filled with smoke so only one escape route is available.

"Loose, keep the pace."

We separate 4 feet between each other and begins marching out of the building.

If the enemy is what I think it is we are going to have to be extra careful.

"RAAAAAAGGAHALELWOALALALSMAKOAPA!'

Another eldritch scream and it's closer.

"Keen eyes boys.'

We turn the corner and absolute carnage spreads the main plaza.

Infested creatures run around, some with arms hanging out of ther mouths, an infested ancient rips a merchant in half and absorbs their life force, the poor old woman shrivels into beef jerky.

"ROGGHHHH UUUUUU ZAABBLLAAAA!"

An ancient looks at me and jiggles its tendrils around.

"OH SHIT INFESTED!"

Gome screams out, his eyes going wide with fear.

"RESPIRATORS!"

Gome and drum tap their helmets and a small metal band covers their mouths, a small amount of steam coming out of them.

I spray my gun wildly at the ancient but it just bullet sponges and continues running at me.

"Guys get back!"

I turn my back to Gome

[Owl Kakuja]

"HaHAhaaha YOUR ALL DeAD Now!"

The kakuja wraps over top of my armor, pulls into my skin and strangles me.. Perfectly.

The ancient slows its charge and begins circling at me.

"SSUUUU ZAAA GOUNBLAAAA!"

It throws its extendo arm at me and I catch it.

Wanna hear a really roar you ass hole.

"RAAAAAAAHHHHH"

My kakuja mask reverberates my scream, making it ghastly and extremely loud.

"NOOOTTTT HUUUUMMMMAAAANN?"

The ancient struggles under my grip, I yank it forward and curb stomp its head as its body falls to the ground, the blood gets the attention of the nearby infested devouring corpses, they all shriek and charge at me.

I wrap my body In a thin layer of Qi to protect my self from stray spores.

Let's get it done.

"COME ON! ILL TAKE YOU ALL!"

I rip through the crawlers with my clawed fists. A briefcase appears from my inventory and blows up in my hand revealing a magnificent sword.

"HAAA HAA BOSS IS GONNA KILL YOU ALL NOW!"

Gome shouts and throws a grenade at a runner and it explodes into a million bits.

I begin ripping my swords through the small horde, I just need to hold them until a warframe gets here and nukes the whole plaza and kills them all.

Crystals flie out of Black Rose and home in on an ancient running to my back with its arms raised, its assault is stopped as it gets pin cushioned.

How many of these fuckers are there!!!

[Sword skills LVL 1]

[Acquired]

SWORD SKILLS AFTER ALL THIS TIME FUCK OFF!

I feel the sword become lighter in my hand and more manageable by a marginal amount.

Fuckin hell I have killed like 20 of them how many of these fucks are there?!!?

Oh.

Warframe kill 1000s of them in 1 survival mission, I might be fucked.

I am getting tired already, this kakuja drains me faster than a goth girl jesus christ.

Drum pulls up his grenade launcher and begins covering me.

"Take a break boss!"

Gome calls to me as he shoots from behind cover.

"NO, I HAVE TO HOLD THEM IN THE PLAZA!

My breath.. Why is it so heavy. I thought I was finally strong..

And some pushover mobs are bringing me to the brink.

Sons of bitches.

I lop my sword into an ancients shoulder and it shrieks in pain.

"WHYYY? DENYYY OURRRR FLESSSSSH?"

"DIE BASTARD!"

The ancient cries out as I finish separating it into 2 beings.

An ancient runs from another room, dragging a body of a small man, he tosses it into the wall and fucking discombobulates the poor sap.

It turns and an icy aura shoots off its body, a small blue veneer spreading its body.

AH SHIT AN EXIMUS!

"GET DOWN!"

I wave and order the boys to duck and cover.

The ice eximus begins slowly stomping at me, my skin begins chilling and my movement feels slow.

This is the ice aura of an eximus.

Damn. This monster is strong!

It sends out extendo arm, he wraps around my body and ice begins crawling up my body.

Shiieeeetttt!

ITS COLD!!!

And I cant MOVE!

"My child, you have to fight."

I can't, it's too strong!

"Child.. I won't lose you!"

"FIGHT!"

The motherly voice screams in my head, but that doesnt change that I can't move.

"AAAAGGHHHAAA!"

[Hara-Kiri]

[Kaioken]

[Strong hit]

RAAAAAGHHHH

I slash my sword forward, afterimages trailing behind me, steam rolls off my body, it's hot. IM ON FIRE!!

The ancients body goes flying, in multiple different pieces.

HahaHaahHaAhah.

Oh shit..

I can hardly breath..

"BOSS!"

Gome comes up behind me and picks me up by my shoulders and begins dragging me while firing a sobek with one hand at the horde of infested crawlers and runners.

"SHITT!!"

My eyes.

They need to stay open so I can fight..

Ahh.

Stay open come on, as long as their open I can shoot a gun.

My arms, I cant lift my arms..

I can pull the trigger with my teeth.

I didn't know using Kaioken and kakuja at the same time would paralyze me.

KEEP EYES OPEN STUPID..

"BOSS COME ON!"

Drum fires a grenade and blood pours onto my face, a rumbling comes and an ancient with fire pouring off its body emerges from the horde.

Of course there would be more than 1 eximus.

Hah.

Definently dead now, it was a good run..

"My son, stay awake please!"

"Child no!"

"Dont give up!"

..

I'm sorry, but I used all my skills and there isnt anything I can do now.. All of my skills play towards 1v1s..

"NOO! Sebastian.. Get up."

Sebastian?

"You know my real name?"

"Of course I would know the name of my son."

"Dont die.'

"I tried.."

"No.."

*boooomm*

*ROARRR!'

A giant tremor sends all the infested floating slowly into the air.

--

"THIS IS WHERE MOM SAID THE TARGET WAS!"

A huge warframe that looks to be a Rhino charges in, with skin covered in steel.

The rhino dashes around quciner than I can process, a giant war scythe in its hand.

The infested are torn to bits, 100s falling in moments.

Looks like they got here in the nick of time.

I can finally close my eyes.

[Some time later]

*beep beep*

"Hes stable, free of charge."

A robot floats over me.

"Uhh."

"Move that damn thing."

A boy with long blonde hair and silver knight like armor stands over me.

"We got their in time Eh? You held them especially long without even having a warframe."

"Who are- Wheres my helmet?!?!"

The boys cant see me.. They will be too confused for me to explain.

"Dont worry.. Its in storage right now, just over there."

He points to a crate.

"Did they see my face, my friends!"

"Um no. Why would that matter?"

"Dont ask."

"No they didn't, they are helping clean up."

He continues.

"Well uh luckily, it was only a small outbreak."

Small.. Small outbreak...

You gotta be kidding me.

I am still so weak.

"The Lotus, ahem.. Mom.. She told us to save you, it seems a non tenno has caught her eye, which is quite surprising.. But you are pretty special, being able to hold a horde like that without corpus riches, or some other type of help.."

"Yet I was still too weak."

"Hey, don't beat yourself up about it, you did amazing"

Yeah whatever I got shit on by an eximus unit..

Every drop of strength..

It seems like it just gets dropped into an abyss.

Where no matter what I do.

It doesn't matter.

Damnit.

"When can I leave?"

"Ummm."

The young man puts a thumb to his chin.

"Hmm. One overnight stay and then you should be healed up, your armor tanked alot of the frostbite luckily."

Another nap.

Joyous.

"My child... Thank goodness."

The motherly voice..

It's not in my head..

What the.

HOLY SHIT!?!?!?!?!

---

A woman with long dark hair wearing a silkly woven purple dress stands at my bedside.

"Mom, you made it!"

Blonde boy smiles.

"Oh uh, I will leave now."

He closes the medical veneer and stomps off.

"You... Arent my real mom."

The woman, known as the lotus smiles.

"It does not matter my child, I will be your mother.... Because it is what you need."

Uhhh.

What?
