The Script Write up for The New War Cinematic Quest:

The camera pans over the Plains of Eidolon, the sun is close to setting, the day's light fades as the Grineer sirens sound.  A squad of Tenno stands at the base of the tallest mountain, among them are a Vauban, a Zephyr, a Volt, and the newly buffed Nezha.  The scene grows quiet say for the blowing wind.  Our squad's fashion is on point, as it should be, exquisite capes billowing in said wind majestically.  The 4 Tenno share a fist bump before the Nezha calls in his Archwing.  An Itzal painted with hot rod flames (and bunnies) is dropped from orbit.

The other 3 Tenno salute as our hero launches himself upwards towards the darkening sky.  The camera pans out once more to silhouette him against the setting sun as its light fades and he rises higher towards Earth's outer atmosphere.  An incoming transmission from Quill Onkko is received: "And now, a massive Sentient energy spike in your-"  The comm dies as Nezha leaves range into Earths inner orbit, then the outer, not that he needed to hear the rest of the transmission.  The words were since etched into his heart.  As he comes to a stop in high orbit around the planet, he gazes longingly at the inky blackness surrounding him, dotted with countless stars.  He knew, however, that they were all accounted for, thanks to his precious ship cephalon.  Thank the heavens.  A single thought rang through the Tenno's mind as he waited for the signal from below;  Spacemom...

Our brave warrior casts his 2, simply letting the Blazing Chakram rest in high orbit instead of throwing it, at the same time, a ping appears on his HUD.  The preparations below were complete, everything was ready.  There is a brief respite before he fires his afterburners, launching himself back towards the Plains with increasing velocity.

The Teralyst, now fully awakened, looks towards the sky, somehow knowing the intent of this devoted Tenno and locks on to the approaching speck in the horizon.  A massive volley of sentient energy surges upwards to intercept Nezha, his allies all hold their breath.  They needed him to make it.

Nezha is descending too rapidly, having already broken the sound barrier there is no time to avoid the attack.  A huge explosion shakes the sky, threatening to knock the stars from their high perch.  The denizens of Cetus look on in horror, was this the fate the Unum knew would transpire? Yet another Tenno felled against the Sentient threat?  Has another hero fallen in the service of the greater good?   Volt raised his 7 forma'd Rubico to get a better view, he was kinda salty he would have to reforma the Rubico Prime, but that wasn't what was important right now.  Through the scope, he sees a humanoid shape break free of the falling debris and smoke!

 

He had survived the attack and was plummeting even faster now!  A cone of fire enveloped his shimmering halo, his body folded and his leg outstretched in the perfect butt-scoot stance.  What immaculate form.  He was ready.  The long hours, days, and (shorter) nights spent training, attempting to perfect the Sleds of Sunshine achievement, they were all in the name of this one, ultimate maneuver.

He hit the crest of the mountain at the perfect angle, losing a mere 3% of momentum.  Time seemed to slow as he flew past Volt.  The pair exchanges a thumbs up as Volt activates his Speed Boost.

Enveloped now in lightning And fire in a twisting cocoon of rage, energy, and laws of physics-defying bullS#&$, the brave Tenno flew straight and true down the mountain.
As he descended, Zephyr swept in and launched herself forward with Nezha, enveloping him in her tailwind's speed boost, he overtook her instantaneously.  Now faster than ever before, the cone of flame and electricity erupted outwards making a brilliant beacon to all Tenno everywhere that they would not be defied by the Sentients, the Orokin, or Isaac Newton.

At the bottom of the mountain, Vauban stood proudly, saluting his comrade as the finely crafted ramp of random driftwood, Anasa sculptures, and bounce pads hummed, ready to face oblivion.  The structure was held together by only the most powerful of adhesives; Hope, Friendship, and Duct tape.  A #*!% ton of Duct tape.

Nezha hits the ramp, his Sentient enemy in his sights, and was propelled upwards, his leg outstretched yet barely visible in the sheer anime-as-#*!% mach cone surrounding him.  No not like that, we're talking some Gurren Lagaan S#&$ here, no bigger you coward! 

That's better.

The Sentient raised its arm to defend itself, sensing that its tiny baby shield was no match for this and firing its cannon rapidly.  But the shots couldn't connect, he was simply too fast, nothing could be done.

When the kick connects, everything goes white as a massive burst of energy engulfs the entire landscape.  The dark shadow of the crumbling eidolon was the only thing visible against the hellish white.  A massive hole in its form spread slowly like spiderwebs before it simply collapsed in a heap.  As the dust settles, it is clear that Nezha is nowhere to be found.  Behind where the eidolon stood against those that would defy its nonsensical mechanics, a violent void rift now hovered.

His squadmates cheered, limbos theorum seemed to be correct, the mad scientist simply lacked the absurd momentum required and thus failed to carry the 2 in his calculations.  The 3 grew quiet, however, as they waited to see the rest of the plan play out.

A burning ring crashes into the ground before the eidolons corpse.

Meanwhile!
Hard cut to the New War cinematic teaser as the sentient mothership is finishing its dialogue.

Natah floats before the massive form of the Sentient Mothership as it speaks.  However, something went wrong, the mother lurched and sputtered, its speech breaking before simply becoming a high pitch whir of pain, agony, and terror.  Natah looks in shock as an explosion rips through the mother, a single Tenno standing on a floating piece of debris in the cavernous area.  Nezha proceeds to perform his noble idle animation, not giving a single #*!%.

Before Natah can speak, or even realize what is happening, Nezha grabs her hand in his own.  He looks back towards the void rift, "We need more reactant, Lotus."   The two disappear completely, leaving the now dead section of space on the outer edge of the system quiet and barren, save for the sentient corpses floating there.  

Back on Earth:

 The Chakram flashes before a fiery explosion rocks the hillside, standing in the ring of embers left behind is our hero.  In his arms is our Spacemom, back in her true, spacemom-like form.

Everywhere, everyone cheers.

Volt and Nezha exchange a fistbump of ultimate bromanship.

The New War is over.
