A transmission was received by the tenno from the corpus. It seemed that they were desperate for help from the tenno. A warframe ent to Y/n's room. He opens to see her

Y/n: who're you?Wisp: i am Wisp, warframe of light

Y/n: who're you?
Wisp: i am Wisp, warframe of light. I've come to speak of an important mission.
Y/n: what is it?
Wisp: the sentients have attacked the corpus base on jupiter and have called upon us to help.
Y/n: great. Now the enemy needs our help.

Wisp led Y/n to her orbiter and flew to Jupiter to see the base smoking

Y/n: jeez. They really couldn't stand a chance against the sentients.

The two landed and explored halls full of crewmen corpses. A wounded crewman came to them.

Y/n: what happened?
Crewman: there was a sudden attack by the sentients.
Wisp: you didn't do anything to provoke them, did you?
Crewman: well... Uhh...

Y/n points his gun at him

Y/n: the hell did you do?
Crewman: we were forced into hybridizing our weapons with theirs
Y/n: what's with you people and weapons?
Crewman: we just want a profit

Suddenly the base shook

Wisp: what was that?
Crewman: they sent in a big one.
Wisp: meaning?
Crewman: to make sure we meet their demands, they threatened to destroy this place with one very big sentient
Y/n: maybe we can destroy it?
Crewman: maybe you can

The crewman gave the thief and tenno directions and the two ran to where the large sentient could be. The halls were filled with amalgam soldiers. Grotesque hybrids of corpus and sentient technology aimed their weapons at the two. Suddenly a transmission was heard

Natah: our history is smoke.
Wisp: that voice... The Lotus?
Natah: blurred by dreams... Guided by ghosts... A voice... A void lurks inside you... Its purpose not yet known... But what am i...?

The hybrid soldiers attack the masked thief and light warframe. Y/n shoots his gun while Wisp shot her rifle in shotgun mode

Y/n: who was that?
Wisp: The Lotus. She used to guide our kind but has reverted to her sentient self, Natah.

The two continue fight the hybridized soldiers and ran in the halls in search of the large sentient. They find themselves in an outside area.

Y/n: when he said big, i wonder ho-

A loud roar was heard by Y/n and wisp

Wisp: that's not good

Suddenly the large sentient appeared and roared

Rules of nature - metal gear rising revengeance plays

The large sentient fired a large beam at Y/n and Wisp. They quickly jump out the way to avoid being disintegrated.

Y/n: certainly wasn't joking when he said the big one!

The sentient flew around the two. Y/n shot with his pistol while Wisp removed the front piece of her rifle and fired in full auto mode at the sentient. It was hard to hit and the shots landed weren't doing much.

Wisp: we need to find a way to really damage it!

The young thief looked at the three generators around then and an idea came to mind.

Y/n: maybe we can make it crash into the generators
Wisp: a high risk strategy, but it's our only one

The sentient flew above them and swooped in for an attack. Y/n and Wisp jump onto the sentient and begin attacking its head. It tried shaking them off but its erratic movements lead to it crashing into a generator. Back on the platform, the two see if it was enough to destroy the sentient but it flew towards the two with murderous intent. It flies towards the two. Wisp ducks for cover but Y/n jumps right onto the sentient's faceplate impairing it's vision and leading it to crash into another generator.

Y/n: is that enough?
Wisp: i think not

The sentient's armor was now weaker but it didn't stop it from attacking the two. Wisp ran on the cables leading to the last generator to attract the sentient. The sentient flew fast toward Wisp as she headed for the generator. She quickly put her rifle away and put her hands together

Wisp: Sol Gate!

Wisp fired a beam of solar energy at the sentient, damaging it and blinding it enough to crash into the last generator. Back on the platform the damaged sentient tries to fire energy shots at Y/n and Wisp. They quickly take cover. The sentient continues shooting at Wisp's cover, destroying it. Y/n quickly tries to slash at the large sentient but was grabbed by one of its legs and was thrown to a wall, leaving him stuck in a dent

Y/n: c-crap...!

Y/n pulled himself off a little and looked down to see the large sentient charging up its beam attack. He wasn't going to let it charge so he jumped down toward it. He manifested the Chariot Card above his hand.

Y/n: Noire!

He crushed the card causing a spectre of Black Heart to appear as he falls. She summoned her sword and held it together with Y/n as the two fall. Before the large sentient could fire its beam, Y/n and the Black Heart spectre vertically split the sentient in half. As the two halves fall, the Black Heart spectre smiles at Y/n before disappearing.

Music stops

Y/n: it's finally over
Wisp: from the looks of it, it doesn't seem the corpus can even attack the origin system or the tenno
Y/n: yeah. Let's hope they make profits another way

Y/n left his calling card before following his warframe partner back to her orbiter. Y/n stepped on a strange object

 Y/n stepped on a strange object

Y/n: what's this?

The young thief picked up the object. Wisp knew exactly what it was.

Wisp: a sentient core
Y/n: sentient core?
Wisp: the very heart of a sentient. Maybe we can use it. Hold onto it
Y/n: sure

The two head back to the dojo. Hopefully with the Corpus' drop of power they won't be able to attack anyone but continue profiting without causing chaos
