The Fate of Hades

Chapter 9: All ya Need is Null

So I have another warframe added to my arsenal, an archwing to do my open world stuff with, and a sparrow to ride around in tighter environments. We know who we're against with the Hell we were dragged into which is great. And we also know that I am the key to all the chaos working. I'm currently sitting on a rock formation high above the plains just waiting for the next mission to be given. My team is getting their gear together with the help of Cade who is absolutely awestruck over it all. I needed a little time to myself during this period of doing nothing. So I came to the most beautiful place I could think of. It would have been perfect, if the lotus hadn't given me a bounty I never saw before while playing in the plains for real.

"Hades, this is lotus. I need your help. I'm... Slipping. Go to the waypoint as fast as possible. There's not much t-" I run as fast as I can for a few seconds before I remember I have a sparrow. While I am able to fly with my arch wing, I've found a preference for my bike.I reach the area in no time and notice I'm at a geyser just beside a lake. Grineer ghouls are surrounding the geyser as if there's a special ritual going on. I get closer withiut alerting them and still cant see anything. I take out my vulkar wraith sniper, aim at one that is blocking my view, and press the trigger, taking him out but alerting the entire group of about five.

"Uh, oops?" I transfer into my mesa warframe and activate my shatter shield to redirect the projectiles being thrown at me. After doing a bullet-jump and landing in the crowd of ghouls I use my peacemaker power to shoot everything I can see, with my arcane velocity doing wonders to increase my fire rate. I cut down the miniature hoard in seconds. I look behind me and see an interesting void rift portal thing. "No wonder they were staring at it. This thing is weird..." And so I touch it. It brings me to somewhere I dont recognize and I'm automatically kicked out of my warframe. Looks like I'll have to go Guardian-Tenno here.

Walking down a long hallway I eventually find a giant lotus flower symbol on a door. I hear something going on inside but I'm not quite sure what it is. I decide to open the door and enter void mode so I'm not seen. What lies on the other side almost made me scream out. Lotus was taking off her helmet and walking to a portal but there was also a screen showing a corpus like colony on Venus. I was so busy watching the screen I didn't see lotus leave and the portal close. I did, however, hear a message that was certainly meant for me:

"Enjoying your gifts? I do hope you choose to use them well. But who will you save? The lotus? The colliding worlds? Venus? You're team? So many choices, so little time. One who will not be saved, of course, is yourself. Good luck young God, you will definitely need it. Although you have had something taken away, allow one more set of gifts to fall into your lap. I'm feeling generous. Toodles!" All around me I see several weapons and warframes. I swear none of them were there before. I choose to pick a few weapons first. I ended up with the Tigris prime and akstiletto prime, just in case there is a consequence to what I choose. Next, a new warframe could never hurt me. Hmm, one I haven't seen before looks quite interesting. A 'revenant' of sorts it seems. I dont know what its abilities do though. Perhaps its based on my 'God' powers and I am less limited with this frame...? After choosing that warframe, as if on cue, a very large and glow-y scythe appeared in the rest of the items' place. I reach out to grab it and feel a surge of null power throughout me. Then it seems absorbed into me, yet I know it isn't lost forever. I see a flash of Orange purple and blue light and the next thing I know I'm back in the plains just by the entrance to Cetus. I summon my ship and fly back to my team in a heartbeat.

"Wait! Show me the loot you got kid!" Cade is the first one I was able to talk to and of course he only cares about the stuff. So I end up walking away to find Cerberus and Brimstone.

"So... The lotus left us on our own then?" Brim says quite confused.

Cerberus chimes in with a "what the Hell are you able to do with the new frame? You said you may be less restricted or something right?"

"Yes to both of those... I wonder if we should go try out my revenant huh? Anyone up for some sparring?" I have some high hopes for these two.

My team looks at each other very worriedly before agreeing tentatively. So we head out to the plains in order to see about sparring. Turns out we can't spar in the plains to my teammates' relief. So they settled on watching me do bounties. I walk straight into a Grineer encampment without being noticed. I see a few strays walking around and attempt to use my first power. All I did was mark the enemies it seemed. But they were then following me and not attacking which was nice I guess. Using my second ability, I activate some kind of defensive barrier. Since there were no enemies attacking it was pretty useless. A ship flew overhead and saw me so it dropped off some more troops. My marked enemies were taking all the hits like champs and I figured I might as well try my third power. I turned into a cloud and traveled a short distance through the group of enemies, changing the marked targets slightly so they started attacking unmarked enemies. The "affliction" as my team is calling it, was spreading quite easily. But nothing was dead. So I'm running around with a group of brainless (or more brainless) Grineer troops wondering what to do. I try my last ability hoping for something better, and after a really long windup time I put the group to sleep. "What a waste..." I think to myself. So then I take out my Tigris prime and shoot at a few enemies. Upon death, they exploded giving my team health, overshields, and energy while damaging those around them. "Okay, less of a waste... But complicated." And I was totally okay with that. So I use transference to leave my revenant unattended and summon my scythe to test it out on the sleeping group of losers.

"What the Hell! I want a cool signature weapon too!" Brimstone yells at the top of his lungs. I might have forgotten to tell them about the scythe in the first place... Maybe. Or maybe it was on purpose...

Anyways, after avoiding the eyes of my team. I swing my scythe halfheartedly at a small section of enemies. Said enemies were "reaped", instantly killing them and sundering their souls from their bodies. Upon death my warframes ability exploded the killed bodies taking out a few more that were in range. The souls that were "reaped" earlier, or really about five, were circling around my body. I move to another section and use a charge up swing. The souls were consumed and sent out in a weird wobbly pattern seeking out enemies that were slain with my initial slash. When the souls touched an enemy two souls were expelled, killing it. One soul returned to me while the other attacked a second enemy dealing damage but nothing else. I try to do a ground slam with my scythe when I had a few more souls, and when I do, I send all the souls into the ground dragging nearby enemies with them. I look at my scythe with a look on my face saying 'I wonder what happens if I...'

"Swing it around in a circle and see what happens!" I send a glare at Brim. Well hes not wrong. So I do just that. I reap everything in the circle and create a ball of souls. When I stop spinning I sent it up into the sky then crashing back down on top of me. The souls themselves spun around me and fanned out until they dissipated, probably because there weren't enemies to attack.

"I know what I'm going to be doing for a while... Screw my other weapons. The revenant and my scythe are all I need for now!" I cheer while throwing it in the air to watch it melt away into nothingness. I transfer back into my revenant and walk up to my team. "So what do you think we should do next?"

They both look at each other again, "go back to the tower?" They seem kinda scared about me having even more powers. I bet author me is gonna have fun incorporating them all huh... (Damn right. You better feel blessed my child.) Ugh, get outta my head. (Your head is created by my head bitch. Suck it.) And so after attempting and failing to regain concentration team Hellfire returns to the tower. We all agreed to keep my new stuff under wraps until we can't any longer. I mean, how much worse could this get right? (Just wait and see.) Uh huh... Well, I guess we have to be heading to Venus again. But to save a colony this time, instead of cabal invasions... hopefully

Hey people! Trying to add in more powers for myself before the team tackles what lies ahead of them. What do y'all think about the fourth wall breaking that happens every now and then? Anyways, next episode will have a trip to Venus where the lovely trio will meet some new 'people', and Cerberus and Brimstone will get a few tricks as well. Peace for now and I hope you enjoy what I have for you!
