body div#devskin0 hr { }
Featuring: Volt and Nyx
I wouldn’t take the time to look back if I wasn’t so scared I would get a repeat of what happened last time. We were full on sprinting forward.
We didn't even care if there was something worse waiting for us ahead. We get a few rooms between us and the horde.
We search the room for anything, even in storage crates with wares, thinking out of luck we’d find more energy lying around to absorb, but nothing.
We're scared out of our minds. The master of mind-work and thoughts starts to outburst frantically, and I, the electrical specialist, can't do anything but wait.
[ENERGY AT 50%]
An unlucky scout walks in from the next room, we’re in such a panicked state we both cut him to pieces before he notices we're not friendlies. I hear the doors behind us open, just before I hear the energy from the scout flow through my suit’s intake. Just in time before I hit the floor...flat on my face…and I black out.
I can’t see anything. All I can hear is her steel blade grinding against robotics metal and plastic. The rest of my senses start to kick in. They knocked me out hard and I’m barely holding on to life as it is. My suit has luckily had just enough time to recover shields. Even the AI Robots probably didn’t expect me to wake up.
A shriek pierces my ears. With pure adrenaline and terror, I get on my feet. I hate doing this, I just hate doing this, I hate myself so much right now… I jump into the fray, and have to work the button thoroughly for it to activate, I’ve only used it once before.
A charge starts through my stomach, before breaking through to my heart, and I have lost all control of my body.
The electricity has control over my body, paralyzing and jittering it intensively, keeping me from focusing. I remember, focus only on the mind. I feel the charge that surged through my body, and carry it to my core, then my arms, along to my fingertips, and then...
...I can’t remember what happened after that.
I remember using the last of my strength opening my eyes, already hunched over, exhausted, ready to die, but no one is alive to relieve me. My friend is still recovering from all the power I let out. I look around. All I see are dead bodies and machines never to function again, only moving from the pulses affecting their nerves or plug covers. A soft cackling surrounds the room, teasing me like I can't go on, like I'm not Tenno material. I'm only barely able to see anything from the lights several rooms down. All the lights are out, except for the last remains of energy flickering through LED lights of robots and some of the ship's interior.
I put my hands on my head and rest on my elbows. She slinks behind me and holds me tight, trying to absorb the chaos in my head. I barely feel any difference. She doesn't let me go until I look like I can focus enough to get us out of here for today.

When I play as Volt, I feel less like a shy, but crafty technical fighter, and more like Emperor Palpatine. A lot of enemies end up smouldering on the floor.

That is true.
It's tough to stay out in the open though, he's not one to charge in (heh) with only his armour and his guts as his power force. I was thinking about someone who was in a respective warframe, and was shy, but didn't really know how to control his power to the point where he felt confident and ended up getting hurt by it.
Plus I just like shy characters. \_9u6_/
