Vipers on Remnant

Chapter 1: Arrival

"Trace, are you sure this will work?"

"I'm sure, Gauntlets, Limbo"

"But you've never tried this."

"Raven, we'll be fine"

"I agree with Raven, We should confirm before we try it."

"You too Alex?"

"The prospect of failure is rather scary, Maybe we should confirm."

"Really? You too Harmony? I'm going through with it, ready?"

"No!"

"Not at all"

"Not in a million years"

Grace's P.O.V

I awoke on the floor of a forest, there was a castle like building in the distance, I looked around to see the unconscious bodies of Eleanor, Alex and Kaiden, "Warframe, Zephyr" I whispered and donned my Zephyr warframe, clutching my attica close to my chest, I saw someone approaching, they had a red scythe like rifle In their hands, they were approaching nervously "H-Hello?" they called out in a voice that sounded decidedly young, "W-who are you?" I called out, raising my attica, they backed off a bit "My name is Ruby, Ruby Rose, who are you?" she called, I hesitantly lowered my attica, "I'm Grace, Grace Crecent, Where am I?" I asked, the figure lowered her weapon and approached, pulling her red hood down, she had brunette hair dyed red at the tips, "You're in the surrounding grounds of Beacon Academy, on Remnant." Ruby said, "Warframe, remove" I said, my Zephyr warframe disabled, showing my true appearance, "My friends and I are here due to an unknown event, We need assistance..." I was cut off as Ruby spoke "I've sent a beacon to the Academy, help will be here in minutes." Ruby spoke, in around 5 minutes a dropship was overhead and landed, I lifted the others onto the shuttle and Ruby joined us, we lifted off and Made for the Academy

End of P.O.V

Beacon academy Medical bay room 15

Eleanor, Alex and Kaiden were all laying in beds along the room, not quite awake, Grace was sat at the end of the room, clutching a cup of coffee from the cafeteria close, she was worried, worried they would never wake up, then Alex began to stir, he put a hand to his head and sat up, "Ugh, I knew that was a bad idea, we should've stopped him." Alex groaned, rubbing his forehead and trying to get his balance, "Glad to see you're awake Alex." Grace called across the room at him, Ruby then entered the room to check on them, "Great, you're awake, are you feeling any better?" Ruby asked quizzically, "I have a pounding headache but aside from that, I'm fine, might I ask your name?" Alex spoke drowsily, "I'm Ruby, Ruby Rose, it's nice to meet you." Ruby said cheerily, Alex chuckled as he tried to stand up but fell back onto the bed, "I'm Alex, I assume you've met Grace over there, but we mainly call her Harmony, because of the healing ability of her warframes." Alex explained, Ruby looked puzzled "Warframes?" she asked in a questioning tone, Grace put her cup of coffee aside, and stood up, "Warframe, Zephyr" She said and morphed into her Zephyr warframe, "Woah! That's Awesome! You look like an Angel!" Ruby squealed looking at the Angelic looking Zephyr, the baby blue asa syadana flowed down her back as she pulled the attica from it's holster, Ruby looked at the weapon in awe before she pulled out her Synoid gammacor, and then her dual ether blades and then began to explain the function of warframes, "Warframes are advanced combat suits, the ones trained to use them are Tenno, warriors of the blade and gun, masters of the powers of the warframe, each one has a certain affinity tied to it and 4 abilities suited to combat, but they can do practically anything with the element, Zephyr is the warframe of air, Warframe, Nova," Grace shifted again to put on her nova warframe, Jets of antimatter flowing from her shoulders and head, "Nova is the warframe of electromagnetism and antimatter, and finally, Warframe, Trinity" Grace started before switching again into her trinity warframe "Trinity, the healer, the equaliser, Warframe, Revert" Grace sai, switching back to her human form, "Oh my gd those things are so cool, What warframes do you have Alex?" Ruby asked, Alex chuckled and staggered to his feet, he walked into the middle of the room before beginning "Warframe, Rhino", he said as he began to change into his rhino warframe, he towered over everyone in the room, almost hitting the ceiling, "This is rhino, the unstoppable force, Warframe, Frost" once he finished, the temperature in the room decreased significantly and an icy wind blew around him as he morphed into Frost, "Frost, colder and deadlier than space itself, Warframe, Chroma" he said as he morphed into his final warframe, "Chroma, master of the elements." he said as his energy colour switched from dark red, to blue, to green and then white, He then pulled out his primary weapon, "This is the Tiberon, a burst fire rifle." He said pulling out his secondary, "These are the telos akbolto, and finally" he pulled out his last weapon "This is the Jaw sword, any questions?" Alex asked, Ruby just stood in awe of all the weapons.

"I have a weapon as well, but it's nowhere near as impressive as your warframes." Ruby muttered, Grace smiled, "I'm sure it isn't that bad, let us see." Grace spoke calmingly, Ruby drew crecent rose from her back and deployed it, Grace and Alex took a step back, in awe of the huge sniper-scythe, "Woah..." Alex muttered, ruby folded it back into carrying mode and placed the weapon back on her holster with a click, "Did you build that?" Grace said in shock, Ruby smirked "Yes, I did, it's a scythe that's also a customisable high-impact sniper rifle..." Ruby was cut off as Kaiden began to wake up, "Finally, we can find out why he did that, Warframe, Rhino" Alex yelled and charged towards him, grabbing him by the throat after he stood up, slamming him against the wall "W-warframe, V-volt" Kaiden choked as Alex tightened his grip, "Now then, why did you try that little stunt, Now we're stranded who knows where without access to the clan dojo!" Alex yelled at the top of his lungs, "Actually, we do have access to the dojo, but it's not in the origin system anymore, Kaiden's little venture moved it into orbit with this planet, and i still have my key." Eleanor spoke as she shakily got her footing, "Do we have a Handheld torsion beam generator? We'd need one," Alex was cut off "I do." Grace said, holding up a pistol like device with a void key slot in the back.

Grace took the key and inserted it into the slot, moving to a suitable wall, she fired the device and a rectangular portal opened, Alex released Kaiden and entered the dojo, followed by Eleanor, Ruby attempted to follow but Grace blocked her path, "Sorry, We can't let you in unless you pass one of four initiation tests, Agility, Defensive combat, Offensive combat or Speed" Grace said in a monotone voice, "Can I attempt one of the tests?" Ruby asked quizzically, Grace entered the portal, "Could Ruby attempt one of the initiation tests?" Grace asked in the dojo, "Sure, if she passes she gains access to the dojo." Alex replied, Grace exited the portal "Follow me." Grace said quickly, they entered the dojo and Ruby was taken aback at it's size, the main hall was easily twice the size of the Grand hall at beacon, Glistening Gold trim and Whitewashed walls, "We designed the Dojo to look like an Orokin Void Tower ship, white with gold detailing and trim, anyway what test would you like to take?" Grace asked, "Speed please" Ruby replied.

Grace led her to a door which swished open to reveal a long narrow corridor, "There are 4 corridors similar to this one, each has a pressure plate at the end, this pauses the two minute timer after 2 minutes the corridors become impassable and you fail the test and we get you out, get to the end and there's a console, activate it and it will reset the timer, then make it back, understood?" Grace explained Briefly, "OK..." ruby murmured as she readied herself with crescent rose "3...2...1...go!" Grace yelled as she took the starting vasto and fired into the air, Ruby fired crescent rose and when she landed after the propulsion the shot provided she sprinted to the end, the beeping of the timer stopped for 3 seconds, Ruby then saw giant walls that were slowly being lowered into the corridors, she used the same tactic on the second corridor, The third was different, half the walls were going up, with a staircase to reach the tops, ruby sprinted up the staircase and then shot across to the lower ones, the fourth corridor had all the walls rising from the floor, "25 seconds remaining." A computerised voice rang out, Ruby fired Crescent rose again and shot across most of the walls, hopping between the last 2, And did the same with the last wall, Pressing the glowing green button the voice rang out again "3 seconds were remaining on the clock, resetting the corridors, ready yourself." The walls began to retract, "Go!" the voice called again, ruby used the same tactic but stumbled on the last corridor, she had to dive to get under the last wall and barely managed to avoid being crushed.

"Congratulations, Welcome to the Blood Vipers" Grace said as she handed Ruby a Torsion beam generator and a Clan key, "You now have constant access here, and a room in the clan barracks, Eleanor will show you around." Alex spoke quietly, "What room does she have?" Eleanor whispered, "She's next door to you." Alex replied, Eleanor nodded and motioned for Ruby to follow "I'm Eleanor, you met me briefly when Kaiden woke up and Alex got a little angry that we're stranded outside our home, but most people just call me Raven, We all have nicknames, Besides Alex, he's too serious, Anyway, We're in the Grand hall at the moment, it's where we initiate new recruits and has doorways to all the other sectors, we'll go to the industrial sector first then the Market sector then the public sector." Raven said as she and Ruby headed for a doorway, the industrial sector had darkened walls and no gold, there were 7 doorways leading out of the room, including the one they used, "the weapon labs, oracle and express foundry are here, not much to do unless you're interested in weapon research..." Raven sighed, "It's going to be a long day..." She thought to herself...
