"nice Job Tenno!" (Story)

[Gridshaw]

As he laid down the bodies of his fallen comrades; Rhino kept an unseen composure and continued his steadfast march towards the next room. His brother Frost was being dragged deeper into the Grineer facility and the mighty Rhino thrashed his way through the barrage of armor piercing bullets bullets to avail. A Grineer commander had successfully teleported him away from the door right into the barrel of a fully loaded Gorgon machine gun. His iron skin broke apart as each pellet began chiseling away at his armor.

 

Under all the clutter; Rhino could see a single bullet sink into the heart of Frost and the cool air he brought with him ceased under the gunfire. Rhino forced himself on his knees and imbued his fist with his pain and agony and performed the long forgotten radial blast. The room fell quiet. "I can finish this." He brushed off the last of his old skin and created another stalwart barrier of protection around himself. His shields climbed up and he slowly began to feel life returning to him. He proceeded to open the locked door himself, iron skin peeling away with every strike.

 

Now battered, he rejoins his brother; cold... lifeless. The Carrier sentinel Frost brought in with him floated from the dark part of the room and scanned Rhino. Taking a moment to process, the Carrier changed it's energy color to correspond with that of Rhino's and began to survey the room and collect salvage parts to continue strengthening the Warframe. "Kril is in the next room Tenno. You MUST win!" cried Lotus. Clad in iron skin, sister banshee's Paris, Loki's despair, and fallen Frost's Galatine. The Rhino charged into the next room with Kril mockingly stamping his feet with impatience. "Ten..no ... know that to die...at my feet will be...the only.. redeeming factor in you...r... mis..erable...life.."

 

Roar.....charge...fight. .fight. fight! Rhino rushed in head first into his opponent and exchanged blows. Each swing of Kril's mighty fragor shaked the blade of his Galatine. Roar. Charge. Swing damnit... swing! Rhino knew no fatigue and the Carrier worked hard to make sure his energy was always up. He stomped the ground but clever Kril leaped to safety. Rhino was always stubborn; his pride coated him and he proceeded to Kril with another headlong rush. Fragor and Galatine and stuck in a deadly power struggle with the Rhino being crushed under it's weight.

 

"Hurry Carrier; hurry! I need more energy for th-" suddenly, the sound from the vacuum of the Carrier ceased with the insertion of a black arrow through it's torso. The arrow began blinking and ushered in a massive explosion; the Carrier was no more. Stunned, Rhino was then knocked to the ground by Kril as he saw a dark figure appear from the shadows.

 

"Stalker... yooOOUU!!! ARRRGGHHHH!"

 

He was pinned to the ground by Kril's mighty hammer. The weight was bearable, but the gaping dent in his chest cavity caused his vision to blur. "Your attack on Kril will cost you your life," mumbled the Stalker mockingly. As Kril began to laugh, Rhino spotted a fading energy orb behind the Stalker where the Carrier sentinel had blown up. With his strength fading, he threw Loki's despair at Kril's tubes causing Kril to go into a pained frenzy. Alarmed, the Stalker slash dashed his way towards a charging Rhino and was flung down from the weight and power of his opponent. It was just enough for an iron skin, and with that: hope. He pulled out his sister's paris and began shooting arrows just as she taught him how. Pinpoint accuracy accompanied with uncanny precision, the Rhino manages to puncture the Stalker's armor, leaving him to bleed out.

 

Kril regains his composure and bursts into flames screaming at the top of his lungs! The Rhino begins to throw all of his Despair at Kril's hammer as he continues his crazed advance. "You...will...not...LIVE!"

The Rhino let's out his mightest strike and successfully disarms Kril. Meanwhile, the dying Stalker relinquishes one last arrow from his bow into his large target. The iron skin shatters and fades away; along with the Stalker's life." In that brief window of vulnerability Kril grabs Rhino by the neck and proceeds to punch into his already damaged chest. The Galatine is dropped and the Rhino is wheezing on the floor.

 

Rhino gets back up and raises his fists at Kril, beckoning him over. It's definitely a scary thing to enrage a Rhino, but to voluntarily face one in hand-to-hand combat is just suicide. But Kril's ghastly face ignites and throws the first punch. Rhino ducks under it and counters with a grizzly uppercut into his opponents rib cage. The playing field has been leveled it seems. How many ribs did he break? 5? 6? One thing was sure to the Rhino; it won't stop there. Kril makes a fast swing into the Rhino's jaw, but there was a loss in power due his damaged ribs. "I can win!" Rhino roars with unmatched vigor and crushing his opponent's weakening body with each blow.

 

Kril stopped moving after 15 more minutes of Rhino's relentless assault. Noble stance; nothing could be more fitting for a Rhino rising back up from another near death experience. He picks up the paris, galatine, and despair he dropped and begins to make his long trip home.

 

A momento; to never forget the sacrifices made to end Kril's tyranny.

 

"Nice job Tenno."

"Nice job huh...?" mutters Rhino, limping towards the ship; passing the corpses of fallen Tenno and Grineer alike.

 

He hoists himself onto the ship and falls to rest in deep stasis...

Interesting story, but shouldn't this be at the Fan Zone? IMO.

Lots of people have been posting fanfics in the art forums. We'll have to wait till a mod moves them.
