    Sorry it took so long. I'll try to follow up fairly quickly with the next part.

      Adrazi briskly walked along, feeling highly irked. The reason for such an attitude was simple. She made a deal with the devil, a.k.a. Argi. Her analysis of him so far was that he was either a charmer, a sadistic and bloodthirsty killer, or a fully mature brat, depending on the mood. Currently, he was in brat mode, seeing as he was switching rooms constantly. She smirked, knowing that despite his efforts to play hide and seek, she could track him by his vitals, thanks to her frame. Upon standing in front of the gate to hell, she promptly ripped it open to discover a surprised Argi stuffing his face with gummy candies. She sighed, “I just don’t get this guy….”

     

      Argi felt like indulging, and had done so by seeing how many gummies he could fit into his mouth. 23, he was proud to announce. If he could speak. Or chew. No matter, he had nothing to do today. His eyes bugged and his mouth almost released it’s payload as his door slammed open. He did the only action he had left in his arsenal. He stared at Adrazi, and planned on continuing this ocular assault till the gummies dissolved to the point of mastication.

      

      Adrazi returned the crazed, gummy-filled Loki’s gaze, “Is this a bad time?....” Argi gave no response. Except….. “Oh, why?.......”  The Loki’s jaws, up….. and down…. and up….. and down slowly with the squelching of half-dissolved gummies being chewed. Combined with the ever bug-eyed stare of the Loki, Adrazi thought she might puke. She took off her helmet, and pressed her face in her hands. Finally, the sounds stopped and she looked up to see him grinning at her with those sharp teeth. “Now then” Argi said in his smoothest voice, “Let’s talk business”.

     

      Those chilling eyes, never looking away, never blinking. To her, they promised a slow death for no reason, just for the sake of blood. “Yes, let’s. I have the information you requested.”

    This happens a dayish before the Aiden's meeting.

     

    Morlan jolted as a pile of clothes were thrown onto his lap. He looked up to see Adrazi leaning against the entrance of the cell. “You should put those on. We’ll be going to your ship, and it would be best if people don’t recognize you. You caused quite a stir.”

    Morlan began to change, “Does that mean I’m free to go?”

    She smirked as she replied, “Well, you’re broke now paying for the costs of the SSF troopers recovery and the damages to the bar, and I think it’s time you see the kit that our squadmates left you. By the way, that Kris Hydroid guy was not happy to let you go so easily, but Aiden seems to know him, and the Loki… well, he has quite a bit of authority.”  Morlan finished dressing. He looked at Adrazi with a frown. “It’s not a surprise, seeing he’s her personal hitman.” “Morlan, we don’t know details, we shouldn’t judge.” Morlan sighed. “I agree, but it’s troubling nonetheless. And he left with the intent of hunting someone. He seemed slightly obsessed with whoever it is.”

     

      Adrazi passed over a slip of paper to Morlan. “Also, Aiden told me to give the location of the meeting room to you. He’s planning something, and he wants you to be a part of it. He offered to let me tag along, but we’re probably going to have wounded soon. Another Phorid manifestation nearby. You two are similar, you know. You both hurt inside. Maybe the reasons are different, but the pain is there. I think you should go.”  “I think I will.” He shook his head, clearing his head. “Alright, let’s go.”

     

     The walk to Morlan’s snub was a quiet one, but once the the door closed behind them, the talking resumed. Adrazi walked around, exploring, letting the memories flood back into her. She stopped in front of a sealed locker. She smiled, “Ready Morlan? It needs your fingerprint to unlock it.” There was a knock on the snub. Morlan rose to open the hatch. “I’ll get it, don’t worry. Open it up.” “Fine….”. He closed his eyes, took a breath, pressed his finger against the scanner, and opened his eyes in sync with the hissing of the opening locker.

     

      

      Inside was a Frost Prime with the Immortal pattern, crowned with a jagged crystalline halo. It was white and blood red, with blue trim. It seemed distant, harsh, and yet soothing. Morlan was entranced, and it called to him. Without a thought, he shed his outer layer of clothes, leaving him in only his bodysuit. He pulled it out of the locker and donned it. He leaned against the wall, feeling drained as it linked up with his neural patterns. It hurt, but his mind felt, clear, calm, more than he had in a long time. He could feel his anger, his rage, his pain, but they were controlled. The suit felt heavier, and because of his leg, he’d most likely be permanently less mobile than before. Not that it would be a problem. He was an assassin no more, but a warrior. He was now a dark knight, whose purpose was to destroy sources of danger.

     

       He picked up the other item in the locker, a Braton Prime. He attached it to the mag clamp on his back, then turned to face Adrazi. She held out his Vipers, and he took them, holstering them on his side. He then noticed the item by her side, a blade with an archaic design. She answered the question forming in his mind. “It’s a Dragon Nikana. New research from the Lotus, and it’s for higher tier Tenno. Superior craftsmanship that the standard Nikana’s, or so I’m told. Anyway, one hit, one kill, seemed like your kind of weapon.” “Yea, definitely. Thanks Adrazi. For everything.” She smiled at him, then they both donned their helmets. “Let’s go train Morlan, and get you up to speed with your new toys.” Morlan attached the blade to his side. “Gladly. Because then, it’ll be time for me to make my mark in Grineer history. I’m not stopping until their empire lies broken at the feet of the Tenno. This time though, I’m doing it right.”

     

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

     

     

      Morlan arrived last, and took a seat at the back of the prep room. He had trained as hard and fast as was possible, and he was still tired. But he had gained enough control over the suit that he would not be a liability. He watched as Aiden stood up and began to explain the plan. Morlan leaned back and smiled.

    And it was the smile of a predator.

    Yesh.

    Morlan. Frost Prime, Braton Prime, Twin Wraith Vipers, Dragon Nikana

    He has very good endurance and stealth, as well as having unnaturally high situational awareness, allowing for unexpected evasion and attacks.

    He can become spacy when he has a lot on his mind,  has a tendency to focus down on one target/objective until it is complete/dead, and he is still getting used to wearing and using Frost Prime.

      Morlan let out another hiss of air through his nose as he nursed his drink. The bar was not quite empty but it was close. The only other patron was a squad laughing and enjoying themselves at a table. He glanced over at them analytically. Four Tenno, one of which had his back to Morlan. The squad consisted of an Ember, a Rhino, an Excalibur, and the one facing away from him, who seemed to be a Loki. They seemed to have some sort of disgusting matching primary color scheme. The Ember was yellow, Rhino red, and the Excal blue. But the Loki was primarily blood-red with an immortal skin…. Huh. That didn’t fit in with color scheme. The more he saw, the more this seemed weird. To have an Immortal skin meant he had to be a high level Tenno. Yet the other three seemed relatively new. Still skilled as Tenno went, but nothing special.

     

      He mentally sighed, as he felt his body ache. His scar, his leg, his heart, they all were burdened with immense pain. He didn’t care if the Loki seemed to outclass his squadmates. He didn’t care about revenge or finding Adrazi, if she lived. He could just let it go, maybe find a new frame, and start over. He would change his name, his past, his choice of weapons, everything would be different and Morlan would die with the rest of his clan. “Except…..”

     

      He looked at the other Tenno again. Their camaraderie hurt. Their laughing made him bitter. Their joking made him angry. His ire rose, piercing the deathly calm that was over him, slicing through his defeat and regret. It churned in his gut, and set fire to his heart. The beast was clawing its way out of the prison in his mind. The Tenno, still laughing, donned their helmets headed towards the door. Morlan put his helmet on.

     

      The Excalibur heard a crash and turned around just in time to get his face grabbed and smashed through the nearest table. “One down..” thought the vicious being which Morlan had become. The Ember in front of the now unconscious Excal twitched in shock as she was knocked aside by a chair Morlan swung. This left him open to get body slammed by the Rhino, who seemed intent upon smashing Morlan through the bar itself. Morlan used this to his advantage when they reached the bar. He held onto the Rhino, then lifted his legs and planted them against the bar, and pushed off, the force bringing him and the Rhino onto the floor as they started grappling. Morlan realized his disadvantage, but the Rhino held him there, nothing more.

     

      He heard a voice, and it became clear that the bartender had just called the station’s security. Rage boiled up once again, as he concentrated the energy in his hand, ripped it free of the Rhino’s grip, and flicked the spinning blade of pain into his oppressor’s shoulder. His opponent bellowed and staggered up and off of the malignant Tenno, and collapsed in pain against the bar. Morlan slowly stood up, still in a fighting stance and dodged a flaming punch from the Ember. She overextended with her punch and he countered by moving in and slamming an elbow against her temple. Despite the helmet, she was went down. He sighed as his visage fell back into a dreary pose and walked out, right into the barrels of an SSF squad made up of a Volt, a Mag, and two Excaliburs.. His smile returned.

     

      One of them spoke, “Put your hands behind your head, now.” Morlan responded by activating his teleportation. In the time it took him to reach his destination, the squad had instantly changed shape so they were all touching backs. “Cute..” was the lone word that ran through his head has he reappeared 5 feet off the ground in front of the officer point his rifle at where Morlan was. Morlan kicked with both his legs, one driving the rifle downwards out of it’s owners hands, the other kick went into the officers head. His snapped backwards with his body following as he crashed into the officer opposite of him. As the Mag and Volt crashed to the ground, the other Excals lept to either side of Morlan and snapped into firing positions and let loose with their tranq rounds. As Morlan landed, his blades slid out of his arms and began a deadly dance, spinning, leaping, slashing, and ducking away from the incapacitating projectiles.

     

      His smugness grew until he found himself slammed into a wall by an unseen force. The Mag had recovered, and she held Morlan in place while the Excals reloaded. Morlan shouted at his captors, “Fools! Do you really think tranque rounds, of all things, will stop me??” A male voice answered, “Not really, no.” The Volt fired a bolt of electricity into Morlan, and Morlan clenched his teeth at the burning agony his nervous system was singed. The attack was short, and the Mag let go of Morlan, allowing him to slump to the floor. “Cuff him” was the command from the Mag as she and the Volt turned to leave. The smile stretched even further.

     

      His teleport relocated him to right behind the Mag, and he grabbed her head, smashing it down into the floor as he landed. Still holding on, he pulled her back up several feet into the air, let go, and then landed a double hammerfist into the base of her neck. The Volt spun around and fired another bolt, but Morlan teleported parallel to the floor level with the Volt’s head. He spun, slamming both his knees into the Volt’s head, dropping him to the floor. Morlan charged the now hesitant Excaliburs with his armblades out. His arms shot forward, intent on drawing blood, when something solid created an explosive pain in his side. The Trinity from the infirmary slammed into his side to intervene, and she would pay a costly price.

     

      Morlan got to his feet, retracting his blades and raising his hands in a stance. The Trinity was crouched, legs wide, one hand on the floor. The pose seems strangely familiar, but at any rate, she clearly wanted to take the fight to him. “Morlan, stop what you’re doing, please…. You’re out of control.” He scowled, Why does she speak in such a familiar manner to me? I suppose I’ll inquire when she’s bleeding out on the floor.”

     

      Adrazi charged and leaped, bring her right leg in a powerful kick that Morlan easily ducked. She followed through with the kick by sending her left leg backwards into his chest, although he blocked that with his arms. But before she even landed he was upon her, his claws fingers intent on rending her life. He fired off to stiff-hand blows, one to her midriff and the other at her thigh. He would gut her, or sever an artery.

     

      But she was as fast as Morlan. Knowing his armblades could come out at any moment, she couldn’t easily grab his arms. So instead, she landed and rolled backwards onto her shoulders, and kicked at his head with both her legs. Unfazed, Morlan planted his hands on her feet and used her kick’s momentum to launch into the air, and his left blade came out, intent on skewering her head. Muscle memory kicked in, and at the last second she rolled to the side and Morlan’s unattended blade shattered against the metal floor. He turned kicked at her, a violent and unaimed kick that would shame any martial art. Unrefined and ugly proved effective as Adrazi took the blow to her side. Morlan leapt upon his prey and seized Adrazi’s throat and began to squeeze. Than he noticed the Lex pressed against his own throat. She choked out, “I suggest you let go, Morlan. I don’t want to kill my last living clanmate.” Adrazi let go of the hand gripped against the hand was slowly squeezing the life out of her throat, and clumsily tugged at her helmet till it came off. Morlan’s eyes widened as he saw the teary violet eyes and silver hair of his clanmate and dear friend, Adrazi. Morlan spoke quietly, almost unhearable, “Are you going to stop me?”

     

     Tears seemed to well up in her eyes, and she took a breath before speaking, her voice cracking. “To the death Morlan, to the death, I will protect those of my race I could not protect before.” Morlan’s right hand blurred towards the pistol aimed at his vitals, and Adrazi closed her eyes as she pulled the trigger, removing tears and accepting the pain of Morlan’s death. The crack of a hand against metal was bullied into submission by the boom of the Lex, Morlan’s reflexes more honed than his opponent. He successfully backhanded the pistol far enough to the side to leave only a gash on the side of his helmet, instead of a hole in his throat. Morlan’s arm reached full extension, and his remaining blade slid out. Adrazi’s tears, returned and fully formed, flowed out her eyes and down her temples as she realized she would die to the one person she lived for.

     

      

      He had returned to the Station with his companions to refuel and restock his supplies. But he had heard whisperings of a fight between Tenno that was becoming more troublesome by the second. He managed to pull a Frost Lieutenant aside and attain the location of the fight. He made his way there just in time to hear a gunshot and see a battle-damaged Ash knock away a gun from a helmetless Trinity he was strangling. A second Trinity was healing a downed SSF Mag and Volt, while two Excaliburs stood by, apparently guarding there downed companions. He did not know why they were not helping, but he knew he need to, to save a life.

     

                                        Aiden, the golden warrior, entered the fray.

     

      Without a moment’s hesitation, Aiden charged. Within seconds, faster than any onlookers would have imagined possible, the Ash was suddenly in range of the Aiden’s blade. With both hands he unleashed Harbinger in a left-to-right two handed swing, aimed at Morlan’s head. One shot, on kill. But Morlan was no pushover, and seemingly without looking, hopped up and over Harbinger, even using it as a boost to get higher. But dodging a charging Rhino is a different matter. The smug satisfaction was wiped away from Morlan has Aiden shoulder-checked him, sending him tumbling. The Trinity was looking at him expectantly, with a hand extend up towards him. He grasped her hand and pulled her up. She immediately slumped over, bracing her hands on her knees. Still gasping, she looked at him. “Thanks, shiny boy. I’m Adrazi. I appreciate the help, he’s become a better fighter than me.”  Aiden noted that she apparently knew him. “My name is Aiden. Am I correct that you know him?”

    “Great circumstances, huh, Aiden? Yea, he used to be a clanmate, before our clan was destroyed. Long story, save it for later. Let’s just stop him for now.”
    “I can do that.”

     

      Aiden held Harbinger upright, in a loose two handed grip, preparing for any attack. Morlan teleported right behind Aiden, extending his right arm in order to impale the Rhino through the back of his neck with his armblade. The sound of crystal rapidly forming prefaced Morlan’s blade shattering against Aidens Iron Skin on his neck. Aiden spun and swung around with Harbinger as Morlan rebounded from Aiden. He backflipped away from the giant blade only to be shoulder slammed by Adrazi for the second time. Adrazi kept with Morlan as she tried to pin him down in time for Aiden to get there. But Morlan was growing angrier and angrier, and with a burst of rage and strength, threw off Adrazi, and teleported to the Cronus of one of the fallen SSF Tenno. “You want a swordfight, Rhino? YOU GOT IT!!!”

     

      He lept at Aiden, Cronus in hand, but was knocked to the side blocking a horizontal slash from Aiden. Morlan was continually forced back as Aiden advanced, probing and striking against Morlan’s weaknesses.  Morlan twisted to the side as Aiden thrust with Harbinger, embedding it in the wall behind the Ash. Morlan smiled, “You’re a careless fool, Rhino.” With the Galatine stuck, Morlan ran at Aiden, and stretched out his arm to pierce his chest with the stolen sword.

     

      Too late, he noticed Aiden bringing out a pair of Fangs. The Cronus was batted aside as Aiden once again became the aggressor, holding the one Fang forward and the other in a reverse grip. He attacked, feinting with one while attacking with the second, making use of his elbows and fists as well. Time to change tactics. Teleporting to the observing Adrazi, he applied a  chokehold. Aiden, not even pausing, threw one of the Fangs. Adrazi caught it, and slashed, slicing into Morlan’s arm, causing him to release her and back off. Adrazi initiated with a right hook. Morlan backhanded her to the side, “Get lost”.

     

      Aiden saw Morlan smack down Adrazi and pulled Harbinger out of the wall to attack. He had landed many hits on his opponent, but he had very good endurance. Aiden could feel himself tiring. He was bigger and stronger than his opponent, but he couldn’t last as long. He should finish this fast.

     

      Morlan turned to face the Blade wielding Rhino advancing towards him. He would crush this Rhino, and then Adrazi, and then the foolish SSF Tenno who thought they could stop him. The two Tenno charged. Aiden stabbed with Harbinger, and when Morlan lept to the side, turned it into a diagonal slash. Morlan lept on the blade and jump kicked aiden in the chest, making him step back. Morlan followed up double hammerfist, which Aiden blocked with his left arm. Morlan could see Aiden becoming slower and flattened his hand out. With his taloned fingers, he now had a dagger to puncture Aidens throat. Adrazi threw the Fang at Morlan, but with his enhanced situational awareness, he was able to avoid it, leaving Aiden in its path. Catching the dagger forced Aiden to be unable to use that hand for defense, and activated full Iron Skin. Morlan struck, knowing he could pierce through Aiden’s skin with his talons. Suddenly, Aiden began to glow, a sparkling, rippling glow like sunlight on pristine water. Adrazi was blinded and deafened as Aiden seemingly exploded, knocking Morlan back. Morlan struggled to his feet, now missing most of his armor on his hand was gone, and his front was smoking and charred. Aiden was standing, but was breathing hard.

     

      Both Tenno moved within striking distance, knowing the next successful hit would end it. Aiden could hear Adrazi walk up behind him, ready to support. Morlan took a step forward, Aiden could feel his muscles tense up, expecting an attack. Adrazi groaned collapsed on her hands and knees, with one hand holding her side. Aiden turned to help, and in that instant, he realized, Morlan could kill him. Adrenaline surged as he jerked back towards Morlan just in time to hear a crunch. Adrazi, despite her pain, looked up in horror at the sound. It was the same sound as Jeny, when her helmet broke fighting the Grineer years ago. Morlan was completely upright, now helmetless, as a Loki held one of the Fangs against Morlan’s chest, and a Brakk against his face. Apparently he shattered Morlans damaged helmet by hitting him with the Brakk.

     

      The Loki had his four-pronged helmet clipped to his side, and he had a fiendish smile on his face. Morlan felt fear. This Loki had sneaked up on him, something few did, and now had two ways of easily killing him. Looking upon the grinning Loki, Aiden felt a greasy chill worm its way throughout his body. Two things made him extremely uneasy about this Tenno. The first were a couple of his facial features. Firstly, his mismatched eyes, one all white, even pupil, with a black iris, and the other all black with a white iris. Second, his sharp teeth, still frozen in a predatory smile as he stared through Aiden. The other item of fear also brought anger. And that was the Brakk. Some Tenno, rumor had it, like to inscribe images representing how many of Grineer, Corpus, and/or Infested they had killed on their weapons. This Loki had two lines of such images on his Brakk, one line was pictures of the Stalker, and the other, well, were pictures of various Tenno. The Loki finally stopped smiling. He dropped the Fang and reached into a pouch and pulled out.. candy? He popped it in and said in a surprisingly kind voice, “I think it’s time for a little chat about this mess, how about you?” Another thud as he slammed the Brakk into Morlan’s temple, rendering the world to blackness.

    (Dragon)Nikana Sheathing Bug?

    Well, there are several different ways katana users would sheath and unsheath their sword. I can't find the page right now, but users often had the sword sheathed and drawn blade down or blade up. In the case of the Dragon Nikana, it's sheathed blade up.

    Captain Vor is effectively immortal through the use of ancient Orokin Tech. The game and devs say so themselves, if I remember correctly. A new Vor isn't cloned again and again, it's always the same Vor. All that we manage to do in the game is more or less just temporarily paralyse him... 

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! That's right, I forgot he glued himself back together....
