[b]Tesuto looked towards the ground...[/b] "...Forgive me Sensei Ninja." [b]And with that, he sheathed the sword.[/b] "I cannot kill a child...no matter how dangerous." [b]He stood up, looking at the warframe.[/b]

*The Warframe lifts up the child and stares at Tesuto. It was most likely a look of pity, as she activated her Blessing, healing Tesuto, before turning to the portal back to Tatakai.*

"....Thank you. But can you speak?"

*She shakes her head no, though a voice comes into Tesuto's head.* "[i]Hello, Tesuto. It seems that my Tenno has broke free of the Sentient's grasp. I am what some may call their mother, the Lotus. Unfortunately, many people in this universe has plans to hunt her down and use her for their own selfish purpose. You must lead her in the right direction. Bring both of you through the portal, then detonate the Torsion Beam Device. It will unstabilize the portal. You must show her the way forward."[/i]

"They way forward is freedom. If she simply follows my orders for her life, that makes her a slave. Slaves rebel. I will lead her for where she needs to go. But her life has to be what she makes it."

[i]"Then that's fine. Good luck, Tesuto."[/i] the Lotus telepathically says. *The Warframe slowly started carrying the child out of the Romans toward the portal, but not before picking up a Skana from a dead Lancer's hand.*

[spoiler][i]Portal: 100% stable.[/i][/spoiler] *The portal became stable, emitting a shock wave that knocked everyone back. Whatever was through here...it held the Tenno. The Lancer was about to tell both of them about the Stalker, before a shot of Dread ends up in the back of his head, as he falls dead on the ground.*

[spoiler]Brah! I'm fighting Irina already! Just letting you know![/spoiler]

[spoiler][i]Portal: 85% stability of 100.[/i][/spoiler] [i](??????)[/i] *A lone Grinner Lancer crawls through to the Beam Device on the other side, as it looks towards its fellow comrades, all of them either dead or about to die, as a bow and arrow pierced their body parts. A lone figure walks up to the Lancer, about to launch the final strike to it, when...* "[b][i]No, Shadow...keep the Lancer alive.[/i][/b]" The sword on his back started saying. "[b]Why?[/b]" The figure responds. "[b][i]It would be wise to be able to let our two friends know just how powerful you and the Tenno could be...even though the dreaded Lotus hides her voice within the Tenno.[/i][/b]" the sword replies. "[b]When will the dimensions cross? When will the plans begin?[/b]" The figure asks. "[b][i]Soon enough, my Shadow. For now...lead the two fighters into Lua. They will grab the Tenno, and so our plan will begin." [/i][/b] The sword says. [i]With the sword containing the soul known as Hunhow, the Stalker leaves in shadow, leaving the Lancer to trudge more forward towards the almost stable portal.[/i]
