Warframe - A Mission Never to Forget

Chapter 7: VI

Previous Chapter
VI

When I woke up, I walked down the long halls of my castle. I enjoyed taking walks through these empty halls as most often it cleared my mind. However this time, I could not sleep.

My aunt has angered me, and Luna as well. I slept last night, thinking about how Silver might be taking this. Behind his helm, nopony could see any emotion. I could sense his emotions, but it took some work. Right now, I couldn't even feel his presence in the castle, yet his flying carriage was still parked near the dining hall.

The poor creature...he has been through so much pain, only I and Fluttershy seem to feel his pain. It is hard knowing that I have the power to say what I'd like, but I would not dare to speak to my aunt about this. At least not yet, she has yet to show us what she has in store for him. I suppose I should ask her about it, but all around I think I should also give her some time. As we heard last night, Luna had some choice words. I too have some choice words for my aunt, but the wills forbid that I get on her bad side.

There was that feeling again. There was some sort of energy that pulsed and drew energy towards it. My horn sparked to life as I made the magic visible. It left a trail going down the main entrance. This time the feeling left me feeling odd a little. Since I was connected to the crystal heart, and the heart was or felt like it was beating. As I exited the castle, I saw Silver floating in air, suspended by nothing.

There was energy circling around both him and the heart. His energy came out of his back and went into the heart, while the energy of the heart went into him. I watched in awe as he unfolded his legs and stood as though he weren't floating before. He bowed before the heart, and I felt a small boost in the heart's magical output.

"What'd you do?" I asked him as I neared him.

Resting his hand on my head and retracting his helm. I wanted to leave a gift before I left. Since I do not sleep, I took time to study your culture. This is the Crystal Heart, it protects your land from the cold and evil forces. I gave my own energy to it, as a sign of peace.

I smiled up at his scarred face. "Thank you for that."

"Silver." Celestia approached from behind. "We must get going. Gather whatever you own and that carriage you have. We shall being taking it back to Equestria."

He put his hand on her head and everything went quite for a few moments. Celestia blinked and nodded. "As you wish, just tell me when we are ready for take off." Silver nodded and waved goodbye.

Celestia watched him with narrow eyes as he ran into the castle. I was saddened that Celestia hadn't began being nice to him. She never liked things that were wildcards. Silver was truly a card that ran its own way. Nopony knew what or why he would do something, so it put him in a dangerous spot under the eyes of my aunt. She even had to put thought that Discord could remain out of stone after betraying the elements.

To her, Celestia thought that Silver had a huge hole in his ability to communicate above the kinetic-telepathic level, so because of that, she didn't know what he was going to do. Because he thought more than spoke, his mental ward is as strong as hers. He hadn't spoken since he was a small child, he must have a masterful mind. It must explain why he can float off the ground slightly! Oh geezzz....I sound like Twilight.

"Cadence, why do you put trust in him?" Celestia's voice snapped me out of my world. "He is a danger."

"You're judging a book by it's cover aunty....I don't think he wants to hurt us. He's made it clear that he wants to hear, Twilight and everypony else trusts him. He hasn't don't anything yet!"

"That just it Cadence...Yet....We never know..."

I stomped my hoof. "Celestia......I let him touch me right where my own child rests. I felt his emotions. He is in pain, he doesn't know what's going on, and he's scared! WHY!" I shouted at her. "I'm the princess of emotions, especially love! What I see-I see a lonely child who's fighting a war he doesn't think will ever end. When he saw us, he saw new life! He looked so inspired to see us, and the first thing he said....aunty...." I couldn't keep speaking, I felt like I was going to cry. I walked away from her, tears falling off my face and hit the ground.

"Cad-"

"NO!" I said closing the castle doors behind me. Silver stood right there in front of me and shook his head. I stared up at him and he retracted his helm. "What'd I do?" He gave me this sad look. I watched as a tear rolled down his eyes and then he walked away. Without giving me another look, he walked on with his head hanging low.


I could not believe why these ponies were trying to defend me. I am dangerous, I could kill them all with my Heat Blade or my other guns. I could do it all in a heart beat. No...I wouldn't do that to these wonderful creatures. They are so beautiful, so...peaceful. They worked to defend be, but I know it is for not.

I know that Celestia will hate me and not trust me until the day I prove I am as peaceful. I was known among the Tenno as The Protectorate and I would die if I cannot keep such a high title. I was the one who maintained the peace, I was the one who helped...Because....I...I was never helped............

I shake my head. No, I am a Tenno. I should be facing threats, not moping like a sad kubrow. My fists clench together as my armor locks down. I feel my biosteel reacting to the magic in the air. Their magic is just energy, when they use it, the energy is given back to the world and absorbed again. Now, I had to figure out a way to do the same, absorb more power, and earn my freedom.

This Ponyville I am hearing about from the other ponies. It sounds like it is a good place to train. It is a small town, full of their kind's females, and I've also heard of three little ones who are looking for their destiny. Yes....perhaps I am not going to be the only Tenno.

Who are the Cutie Mark Crusaders that are in Rarity's memories? With that idea set in place I begin to continue my walk to Ordis. I do not believe that he will be pleased to be used as a taxi to someone much like Celestia is. He had a general distaste for her, something I was unaware that an AI such as himself could produce. Perhaps, I should run a repair on him. He is damaged, if he can no longer keep his shape up, he'll die.

It is funny how I think of Ordis as a person rather than a robot. Most of the time, I completely forget it. Once when I got my Ordana, he tried to argue that it wasn't ready for use, but it was either he does or I would die in the hard vacuum of space. Many memories were made with him before and after the old war and my new missions began. However, when I first woke, it was because of the Corpus.


I fell from my cryopod onto my hands and knees. My vision was blurred, and I had no contact with anyone. It left me to wonder, who woke me up?

"Get up slave!" I looked up at who had to appear as a Corpus commander. He woke me up. "Can you not hear me!? STAND FOOL!"

I slowly stood up. My bones felt weak, my armor was cracked and damaged. My shields were offline and my life support was only at one hundred. I tried contacting Ordis, but there came no reply.

"We are the Corpus! We control you now! Do you under-ssstaaanndd?" His voice slurred as he mocked me. I was only allowed to nod, as my vows prevented me from speaking and acting out against the ones who woke me. "G-gooooddd....hehehe....Come Tenno, we have work to do. There's an army of Grineer to fight, and you're going to help us win this war."

It was depressing to hear that I was going to be used as a weapon again. I frowned behind my Ember Warframe. They gave me a Bolto and a standard blaster-pistol. "Goooo, fight the..Grineer!"

I walked on, acting out my orders. I noticed that he had attached a devise to my chest. I pressed my hand on it, and felt a dark power thrum inside. I was a slave, once again.


Those memories kept me moving. I was a slave when I woke up the first time, and I am a slave again. I can only hope that princess Celestia will use me for good rather than evil like the Corpus had done to me. I slightly shiver in my armor. I do hope that does not come.
