《W.A.R.F.R.A.M.E.》Chapter Nine: Championships, Here We Come
Advertisement
Justin was facing Vincent when he heard Anna speaking on an open channel, “I’m not giving up. I’m not going to give up. I promised Frank, that I’d at least get us into the preliminaries. We promised each other that we won’t give up playing and having fun until we made it to the championships. I made a promise to him and I intend to keep it. So pardon me if I don’t give up so easily.”
Justin flashes back to his days in his previous school. After his frame was destroyed, he was banned from WARFRAME in that community. The frame that he had painstakingly assembled was torn to shreds. He was not the only one to suffer from this indignation. His friend Alex suffered the same fate. Alex disappeared after the event and Justin never heard from him again. He had promised Alex that they’d both make it to the championships but both of them failed miserably. He never got over the loss. He still worked hard on his frame but the feeling he had at the time could never be forgotten. He had also lost his friend on that day.
After suffering from that loss, Justin still remembered the words that his uncle used to comfort him, “Even if you can’t keep your promise to enter the championships together, I’m sure Alex would’ve wanted you to keep playing WARFRAME. At least, that’s what I believe. And, who knows, maybe you’ll see each other again as long as you keep playing.”
Listening to Anna’s determination, her determination to keep fighting, her determination to keep her promise, touched Justin, “I’m going to keep playing.” The Cestus turned around and fired its bazooka and miniguns on the Arachne. The impact of the attack freed Rosenkavalier from Arachne’s grasp. A puzzled Danny turns to Justin, “Justin, what the hell are you doing? I was just about to win this for us.”
Justin released an exasperated sigh, “Danny, your machine is against regulations. I’ll never accept such a dirty victory.” Danny questions Justin, “What do you mean dirty? A win is a win. This isn’t an official match. We don’t have to follow all the rules.” Vincent laughs with glee, “So you’re pulling off a coup now. Turning against your own teammates, you can do that. AWESOME! WARFRAME is the bomb. Viva la Revolucion!”

“Eat this!” Vincent launched the Manta ray from Mantaraia’s back and it flew towards the Arachne. It fired all of its weapons upon the oversized spider as it flew. Justin also kept firing his bazooka and miniguns. The sudden attack caught Danny by surprise. Having broken free, Anna also fired upon the large target.
Danny detached his frame from the Arachne ride armor and flew towards Anna as the ride armor exploded behind him. Danny was panicked and enraged after seeing his ace get destroyed, “If I can’t win by fair means, then I’ll just resort to foul ones and take Anna hostage.” Danny’s frame the Spydess, wiggled its fingers in excitement as it quickly approaches the Rosenkavalier.
Justin releases an exasperated sigh, “Looks like I’ll have to end our temporary partnership mister president.” Cestus thruster began igniting, and a mechanical voice spoke, “Critical Assault: Revenge Bunker!” Cestus quickly dashed towards the Spydess. It quickly flew past Rosenkavalier and arrived in front of the Spydess. Cestus unleashed a straight punch towards Spydess’s chest with its hammer fist, before a spike bore through the frame right above where the fist had hit. Justin then kicked off the Spydess and let it fall it its eventual demise. After having been punctured by the spike from the bunker, the damage the Spydess took had finally taken its toll on the frame as electrical currents snaked their way around the body before the frame exploded as it fall down the canyon.
The mechanical voice of the machine then sounded, “Checkmate! Battle Over!” Before everything turned to black and the machine shuts down. Mister Myers then turned to the student body president, “Well, prez. How’d they do?” The student body president nodded, “With the victory of the WARFRAME Battle Club, I’ll discuss the matter with the rest of the council and ensure the continuation of the WARFRAME Battle Club.”
Having gotten confirmation from the student body president, Mister Myers turned to the club members and nodded gleefully. Everyone exited their respective pods and Danny slammed his fist against his pod. “I can’t accept this. I won’t accept this. How could we lose? This is so unfair.” Danny was so angry that some tears fell down his cheek, "No. How am I supposed to get closer to Anna now? This is so unfair."

Veronica stood beside Danny to comfort him. She took off her oversized glasses and showed him her kind and gentle eyes, "Isn’t this for the better Danny? Now you can stop obsessing over getting the WARFRAME Club. You can also forget about Anna because I will never leave you. I will always be by your side.” Danny turned around to scold Veronica but words would not come out of his mouth. Instead, he felt like his heart had been shot with an arrow, as it started beating faster and his cheeks began turning red. “V?!” Anna was flabbergasted at the sudden turn of events. She was speechless. “Don’t tell me. Did Veronica get her frame pierced by my rapier on purpose?” The new coupled had a romantic air around them as if nothing in the world could disturb their lovey-dovey moment.
“Oh yeah, we won. Anna, can you believe it? We did it. We won!” Vincent was brimming with excitement as he approached Anna. Anna nodded, “I know, thanks, Vincent. This couldn’t have happened without you and…” Anna looked around the room for Justin but he was gone. Both Anna and Vincent looked around the room but Justin was nowhere to be found “Justin?”
Justin had returned home. He stood on the balcony outside his room as he watched the sunset. The sky had been dyed orange by the color of the setting sun. Justin stared into the horizon and muttered, “I wonder if I can really do it. If I can fight with my frame once again.” Justin then hardened his resolve, “No, I must fight again. If I’m ever to face Alex again, I have to fight. With the frame I assembled, I’m going to keep my promise.”
The very next day, Vincent and Anna met up with Justin as he was about to exit the school. They were both very excited, their fingers wiggled and wormed in excitement as they spoke, “Come on. Join us, Justin. We can have a lot of fun together. Join us, join us.” Justin commented as he was a little freaked out by the sudden appearance of the WARFRAME Battle Club members. “You know, it is pretty creepy when you talk like that. It’s like you’re trying to get me to join a cult.” Vincent then played along and did the same thing. “Yes. Join us, Justin. Join us!” Justin argued, “Why are you going along with this?”
As they were discussing Justin’s enrolment into the club, Maya walks by with her friend, “Vincent, Anna.” Anna calls out, “Hey, Maya!” Maya smiles, “Are you guys off to your club?” Vincent responds, “Yup”. Maya was then puzzled upon seeing an unfamiliar face. “And you are?” Justin took this chance to introduce himself to the mesmerizing Maya. “Justin Walker, 10th grade, Class B.” Maya smiles in delight, “Ohh, so you’re the one. Since the three of you are together, then are you also playing WARFRAME?”
Justin was baffled for a moment before he nodded vigorously and answered, “Um… Yeah!” Maya tosses her hair making her look even more captivating, “Good luck with the championships.” Justin was enthralled by her beauty, he was almost speechless, “Thank you.” Anna then appeared beside Justin, “Hey, Vincent, did you hear that?” Vincent then suddenly appeared beside Justin, “I sure did, Anna.”
Anna then wraps her arms around Justin’s and Vincent’s, “Now, we finally have enough members to enter the championship. As long as Frank gets back in time, our victory will be a sure thing. Come on, let’s do it.” Vincent shouted in excitement, “Yeah, let’s do it. WARFRAME Championship, here we come!” Justin has been unwillingly pulled along into the excitement of Anna and Vincent.
