Its night. Ash maybe sleeping and our heros may be resting but other places in the world do not not agree.

//////////Meanwhile underground///////
I shuffle through more code and sense a change in the air.
???:Sibling...Dera...Seems like your in trouble now.
I laugh to myself for a bit.
???:Seems like...you walked into this yourself. But dont think I didnt think of a surprise for you myself. Just you wait. Hehehe.
I chuckle to myself for a bit again.
???:Those new kids. Showed potential huh? Should have ended them when you had the chance. Oh well seems you made a mistake critical error. Shouldnt have let suda keep them in the code.
I think.
???:I doubt sudas gone...I highly doubt she would just make it so someone over ride her. hmmm..
/////////////Meanwhile back on the brink//////
Atlas:nhhnn..
Good hes sleeping. Makes this easier. I pull back my hand.
???:Sleep forever..
I go to swing but he suddenly deflects it with a rock arm.
Atlas:Manticore was it?
Manticore:?
He punches me I hit the ground.
//////////Atlas pov///////////
Atlas:be honest. Why me?
Manticore:You cost us our other assassians sabotaging our other factories. Also I found out all of you are here! Ill bring your head back to them and get back my honor!
Atlas:Ah so they tossed you out because you werent good enough? Couldnt live up to harrow?
Manticore:Heh..outlived the fool how good my survival not be better!?
Atlas:You werent worth kiling.
Musta struck a nerve. She seems aggravated.
Manticore:Really?!
Atlas:Lets get the whole gang here huh?
Manticore:You wont get the chance!
She fazes infront of me and I deflect her swings.
Manticore:HRANGH!
She shoots out a face blast but I duck.
Atlas:RAGH!
I punch her underside but she jabs my arm at the same time.
Atlas and manticore:GHG!
I fall to the ground so does she.
Manticore:What now huh?!
She fazes into a standing position and aims a gun at me.
Atlas:Woah you got lazy.
She shoots me once.
Manticore:Next ones going in your head!
She aims at my head.
Atlas:I think not.
Manticore:Who you thought they would catch me?!
She turns and stab but nothing happens.
Manticore:?!
I spawned a rumbler behind her and it punches her in my direction. I make sure to form a rock fist with my other arm and yell as loud as I can.
Atlas:HRAGH!
I punch her and she hits a wall but since this place is so old it falls apart and she falls through it.
Atlas:that surely must have waken someone up.
I form my rock omni armor and jump down to land her. But she rolls out the way.
Manticore:Hehe look down fool!
Atlas:?!
A sudden explosion goes off knocking the boulders off me and I hit the wall. She walks up towards me and she has a knife of some sort.
Manticore:Hehe..Whats wrong huh?!
She motions to stab me in the face but I tilt my head up and to ore gaze.
Manticore:?!!?!
Atlas:You should be more educated in..who your attacking!
Manticore:Damn you!
She turns into rock
Atlas:HRA....GH?!
Someone tackles me out the way as im about to punch and I notice that manticore broke out and stabbed when I was about to punch.
Atlas:?
Namia:You could have just woke us up!
Atlas:Thats what I yelled for.
Manticore:Namia.....
Namia:Oh hey manticore how is being a peasent for corpus treating you?
Manticore:Im so sick of you...
Atlas:You guys got history?
Namia:Yeah.
???:HRAGH!
Namia:Here we go with this one....
A figure tackles manticore to the ground
Harbinger:WHADDUP!
He fires about 20 viper rounds into her.
Harbinger:HA!
He goes to kick her but she jabs his leg. And he falls to the ground.
Namia:HA!
Manticore:This is annoying just die!
Namia goes to stab manticore with her claws. Manticore is using some type of shadow sword now.
Manticore:If this keep going your claws will break!
Namia:Hehe watch this.
A sudden spike comes from the ground impaling her.
Manticore:GNGH!?
Namia:Now wheres your heart?
Manticore:...Hehe...
Namia:Must be her...
Atlas:MOVE!
I throw a rock at namia as manticore was about to shoot flames.
Manticore:Ah ypu all ruin my fun!
She cuts the thing she was impaled on.
Manticore:No matter.
She pulls out a gun with green needles sticking out of it.
Atlas:?!
She shoots three at me I block them but they get stuck in my arm.
Atlas:Huh...hngh!
I fall down to the ground unable tp move.
Namia:?!
Manticore fazes behind namia.
Namia:huh?!
A sudden stab hits namia and she falls to the ground too.
Manticore:let me end this.
She walks up to harbinger.
Harbinger:oh hey DID YOU FORGET I HAVE THESE!
The viper shots hit her but she doesnt flinch she just pokes both of us his arms and they fall limp.
Harbinger:Hmm...that is a problem isnt it...Hahaha!
She lifts him up by the face with one hand.
Manticore:Ill burn the smug assholeness off your face.
She proceeds to blast a ton of fire into his face so much that I cant even see his face anymore.
Atlas:Ah...no.
Manticore:Hahaha....HAHA!
Harbinger:Ahhhhh some fresh air...
Atlas:?!
Manticore:Wha..
Harbinger:ACHOO!
He shoots a flame so intense it blows her back into the next room and scorches her armor.
Harbinger leans back on a wall.
Namia:How did you..?
Harbinger:Ah what? Thought i was useless?!
Namia:Yeah. Actually.
We see manticore walk back scorched in flames half of which being her own.
Manticore:You!
They actually did seem to damage her alot.
Manticore:Im gonna kill you!...IM GONNA FUCKIN KILL YOU!
Harbinger:No you wont.
Manticore:What?
Harbinger:I said you wont..You dont got enough in yah to kill me!
Valkyr prime:Hi..
Valkyr punches manticore through the chest. Her hand rips right through due to her already burn and weakened armor.
Manticore:...?!
Valkyr prime:Heard the noise. Didnt expect you to be here.
Manticore:Even you shouldnt have been able...to punch through me...
Valkyr prime:Funny story I wouldnt be but it seems it melted a little bit.
Manticore:....I dont die here...
Valkyr prime:Really?!
Manticores eyes change color.
Manticore:Factory mode started.
Valkyr prime:?
A sudden fire blast shoots out the hole valkyrs arm was in blasting her back.
Manticore:Health low...retreat required.
Manticore clutches her chest and presses some buttons on her wrist.
Valkyr prime:NO YOU DONT!
As valkyr throws a ripewire manticore vanishes.
Valkyr prime:...damn.
Namia:Ehg....foolish idiot. Hate her...
Namia is suddenly covered in blood and slowly stands up.
Atlas:?!
Namia:Yeah..I can bleed myself to get the poison out...it just hurts to do.
Atlas:Impressive.
Namia:You did well to hold your own to not die from her you know...for a peasent
Atlas:Couldnt just be nice for once?
Namia:Come on.
She helps me up
Namia:Ill walk you to a corner to lay on or somethin.
Harbinger:Yo! Now help me up.
Namia:You could rest there.
Harbinger:After that whole fire trick. I dont get how I save your hide and your still mean princess.
Namia:Nghnn!
Valkyr prime:Cmon. I got you.
She hoists him up and they follow us.
Harbinger:Th...th...Tehh...
Valkyr prime:Cant even bring yourself to say thank you can you?
Harbinger:Im really tryin to be nice here claws!
Valkyr prime:Claws..? I kinda like that title.
Harbinger:Eh really?! Oh oh give me a title!
Atlas:Are you guys kids?
Valkyr prime:How about...fire starter?
Harbinger:Nehh..Im kinda feelin it.
Valkyr prime:Flame edge?
Harbinger:Ohhhh now thats edgy right there! Im feeling it!
Atlas:oh my god...
Namia:How could you guys be so ...foolish...
Harbinger:Hehehhahahaha!
He seems to have calmed down alot after fighting ash. Almost like he humbled him by beating him so fast.
////////////Elsewhere in the system///////
Korken:Nhnn....unfourtante.
Corpus:So what do we do sir? Those calls do make them sound like they are gonna raid them.
Korken:why would they use an open frequency....Ehg well we know where they are but I feel like I dislike the shells as much as them.
Corpus:Your gonna attack the shells too?
Korken:I dont like sharing the universe with them...there just annoying. Always taking over things and such. Look at what they did to the kuva fortress! That was my data! I could have made kuva machines for them and used the schematics on us!....speaking of the kuva fortress lets give the side they took a surprise as well.
Corpus:?
Korken:Remember the building the blew up the infected district?
Corpus:Yes sire?
Korken:Haha...Warp one.
Corpus:E....excuse me sire?
Korken:actually warp a few. Stick explosives on them and blow them up as there teleported.
Corpus:How are we gonna teleport a whole building?
Korken:Setting up alot of teleporters on the same building. We dont need a planet busting cannon. Just improv hahahaha!
Corpus:Also from the scraps we managed to bring "him" back.
Korken:Ah...really? From that? He was left in...bad shape.
Corpus:And manticore came back shes in the fixing bay. Seemed she found out where they were too on there own.
Korken:Impressive....ehg I wish I could go with them to kill shells but duty calls....But hehe...Hows the third hunter?
Corpus:Its done. Waiting for instruction.
Korken:Send him to earth when they leave the brink. That should give them a nice little surprise.
Corpus:Will that be all?
Korken:Nope. Drop a v9 jackal.
Corpus:?! Sire we only have 9 of those in general!?
Korken:I mean. This seems like the perfect time to test effictiveness.
Corpus:I..indeed.
Korken:This is why the corpus are the mightiest army! But one thing bothers me...
Corpus:?
Korken:The grineer have been deadly silent for the last few months. They didnt even attack back when the shells attacked them....I dont trust those inbred slugs for a second. However this ends they will be who we check on next. That should be all. Head home.
Corpus:Yes sire..
///////////In the void////////
Onslaught:Father. Whats happening out there isnt your fault.
Hes still healing from what the barbarian did to him and some of the others.
Father:it wont go unpunished...I swear it.
???:That is unfourtante isnt it "Father".
Onslaught:?
I turn and see the limbo that camr here awhile ago.
Limbo:Father. I know this is a rather critical time for you but I request to go back up.
Onslaught:To the planets? Now? Why would you need that child.
Onslaught:Why would you leave in our time of need limbo. We barely...
Father:Hush my child.
Limbo:Thank you. There is a threat there I cannot let walk. And through my little birds ive heard things.
Father:Is it those shells you used to work for?
Limbo:yes father.
Onslaught:Leave them.
Limbo:?
Father:Onslaught explain?
Onslaught:The world there has done nothing but treat us poorly. We barely have any warp portals to teleport ourselves there anymore. If these shells destroy them why would we care.
Limbo:I woul...
Onslaught:Your not one of us. Which is why you wouldnt care.
Limbo:But we agreed you wouldnt turn me so that point hardly matters.
Father:Shes right.
Limbo:?
Father:Let them cause there own ragnarock and wipe themselves out. We will return later. Give them 5 years.
Limbo:Five years father?
Onslaught:To regroup and heal. We will return as one of the strongest armies!
Limbo:Do you understand how strong the shells got in the 8 months they have existed?! If they win they could convert everything! With 5 years time they would be monsters!
Father:We will be ready when the time comes.
Limbo:...Yes father.
He snaps his fingers
////////////Limbo pov//////////////
I snap and create a rift and freeze time.
Limbo:Unfourtantely I do not agree with you at all.
I walk up to father and onslaught.
Limbo:There are many things I am. A fool isnt one of them.
I form a galatine.
Limbo:RAGH!
I ram the sword into his neck. So far it goes through the table I then put some kunis in his chest.
Limbo:Hmm. Now for you.
I walk up to onslaught.
Limbo:nothing but a following monster.
I form a jaw sword and stick it in her head through her neural sensor. Which should atleast stun her for a bit.
Limbo:With that I take me leave.
I leave the bubble on and walk away I stay in the rift. I walk to one of the portals.
Corrupted corpus guard:Where are you going limbo?
Limbo:Father told me to check on the portals in the outer world. Thinks I can fix a few in a pinpoint location.
Corrupted corpus guard:To where.
Limbo:Uhn...
I think of a place known to be abandoned.
Limbo:Actually.
If my research is right there is a place I want to go.
Limbo:Take me to eris.
Corrupted corpus guard:Understood.
I step through the portal and hear a yell in the distance. Seems my rift closed and they just took the damage. I arrive at eris and proceed to break the portal right after entry.
Limbo:Sometimes betrayal is just to easy.
I look around and see the whole area seems melted.
Limbo:Well seems dera has been busy.
I see dead infested melted with black fire.
Limbo:Be a shame if someone sent a reverse of that....
I carefully form a canister and force the flames into the canister.
Limbo:Hehe...Got a surprise for her. She ruined everything with her "new world order" now I got one thing to do.
///////////////On earth//////////
Dera:the ash plans on coming here eh?
Shell:Thats what we picked up on the airwaves dera.
Dera:oh well.
I sit sideways in my chair.
Shell:Do we just blow up the brink? The cannon should have enough power to atleast heavily damage it.
Dera:Let them come. Ill show them. I also have to thank ash personally as I wouldnt be here if not for him.
Shell:So we should prepare for tomorrow?
Dera:Oh of course. Full power tomorrow! They are foolish for waiting this long. My powers have been boosted as of late.
My hand sparks.
Dera:Ill just save it as a surprise for now. You shells will see it as well.
Shell:Ye..Yes dera?
Dera:Oh my. Are you afraid of me?
Shell:N..No of course not!
I walk up to the shell and put my hand on her shoulder.
Dera:One of your friends was an enforcer? Is that it?
Shell:....
Dera:Look. They could have betrayed us at anytime. A mass execution was the best course. We can great replicas in the new world.
I force my energy into her. She turns into a deeper shade of blue.
Dera:any other thoughts?
Shell:no my lord. Anything for you my lord.
Dera:Good.
I wave my hand in the air and force my energy into every shell on the planet.
Dera:SHELLS GET READY FOR WAR! WE ARE GONNA EXTERMINATE AND ASSIMALTE THE INVADERS TOMORROW! LET THERE BLOOD RUN FOR THE NEW WORLD!
I walk towards the window and see the shells staring up into the sky with there eyes glowing staring up at the sky.
Dera:Hows that for "unity" suda!
I look up towards space.
Dera:They better not keep me waiting too long..or else Ill have a surprise for them too.
