The Encounter: Saint Petersburg, Russia [10:17am]

(CW: Injury)

POV: Kapkan

“Shit…”, He muttered under his breath.

He could hear those creatures approaching the cover that he and Fenrir were using.

It wasn’t much, just a courtyard with some brick fencing. But it was more than enough to stave off the attacks of the grunts and spikers.

“WE NEED TO MOVE!”, he heard Fenrir yell from across from him.

Fenrir was right, but they were in a bad spot. It was an open area except for the courtyard's two entrances. It was practically a death trap.

And then an explosion is heard.

“Kapkan, your trap worked!"

"Of course it did", he said smugly. Despite how he normally acts, he really was proud of his EDDs.

He watches the dust settle.

‘Strange… there’s no howl’

He heard Fenrir run over to him while he watched where the EDDs went off. He didn’t like how silent it was after the explosion.

“That was amazing! You got rid of all of them!”, the Swede panted out, once he approached.

“We need to get out of here, something is off”

“What?”

“We need to leave”

He grabs the shorter man’s arm roughly and runs towards one of the courtyard’s exits.

“H-Hey!”

He felt Fenrir stumble, but didn’t stop. He didn’t like how quiet everything became. He just found himself running, hating how his and Fenrir’s footsteps echoed when they found themselves in the open.

He felt a yank on his arm, causing him to almost fall over.

“WHAT THE FUCK?? WHY DID YOU DO THAT FOR?”

He found himself yanking his arm back from the Swede.

“I could say the same to you”, Fenrir stated flatly, his irritation showing up in his face.

“You didn’t have to drag me out here in the open. Do you even know where you’re going?”, he says, crossing his arms.

He didn’t want to admit that he felt like an animal being hunted, so he simply said,

“We needed to move. The lack of a howl after an explosion like that is not a good sign”

While he had not been to Saint Petersburg in a long time, he was still somewhat familiar with where they were, despite the sprawl and damage making everything almost unrecognizable.

“Alright, follow me”

Fenrir nodded at him.

He started heading down a street with the shorter man, moving towards the shadows to lay low.

He spots some strange movement further down the street and signals Fenrir to stop as he crouches down. It looked like moving air. It was strange and hard to focus on.

When he realized what it was, it was already too late.

The Archaeans immediately uncloaked themselves and started their attack.

Feral grunts launched themselves in a frenzy, alongside the suicidal bloaters and breachers.

Fenrir barely had time to bring up his weapon to get rid of a breacher before it got too close, but the shockwave of the explosion knocked him back and caused a chain reaction with the bloaters that were nearby.

‘SHIT’

‘I CAN’T SEE’

He heard a rooter begin its attack as he tried to reach Fenrir, who just started to pick himself up.

Too late.

He did his best to suppress a pained grunt as the rooter’s barbed tendrils dug into his legs. He fired blindly in the direction that he thought the rooter was in, as he tried to get out of its grip.

He crashed to the ground once its grip released and silently hoped he killed it.

In the half second that he spent on the ground, he found himself surrounded by several grunts and pinned to the ground. He just started swinging his blade wildly to try and fend off the creatures.

Another explosion is heard, alongside a cut-off scream from Fenrir.

Purple smoke clouds his vision, and he hopes that it wasn’t because of Fenrir’s FNATT. But, whatever the cause of the smoke was, it definitely got the Archaeans to stop attacking.

At least for now.

He scrambled to his hands and knees as he tried to crawl over to where he thought Fenrir was.

“Where are you?”, he hissed through his teeth. The last thing he needed was another attack.

He tried to listen for the sound of his excursion partner, but it was difficult due to the sheer amount of noise that Archaeans make.

He heard a pained wheezing sound. It was just barely loud enough for him to notice it.

“Fenrir? Is that you?”

He had to swallow his panic, he didn’t want to stress the Swede even more if he was injured.

He crawled over to where he heard him.

“Fenrir? Answer me! Or just make a sound, anything, please!”

“I-I’m over here”

His voice sounded so quiet. Quieter than what it normally is. Quieter than what it should be.

He found himself almost scrambling over to the pale man, made paler by the blood staining his dark uniform. He almost looked like the snow around him.

He was scared to touch him, he looked so fragile.

He had to physically shake his head before quickly scanning Fenrir for major wounds.

‘This damned smoke is making this harder than it needs to be’

Then he froze as he heard the clicks of a rooter walking past, and saw its shadow through the haze of the smoke.

‘It’s too dangerous here, I need to move him’

He gently slapped Fenrir’s face, startling the poor man.

“Shhshhshh, you’re okay”, he had to bite back the need to tell the man that he looked like shit, “We have to go, but that means I need to pick you up, okay>”

He didn’t like how Fenrir’s eyes were unfocused.

“Hey, hey look at me”, he patted his face, “I’m going to pick you up. Nod if you understand”

The smaller man managed to give him a weak nod.

“Alright, this is probably going to hurt”, he says, as he gets Fenrir in a better position to be picked up.

Which resulted in a whimper to escape his lips.

A feeling that he couldn’t describe settled in his stomach as he picked Fenrir up, which brought up a few more sounds that he decided to try to ignore.

“Let’s get out of here”

He retreated out of the smoke in the direction that they came from, deciding to go back through the courtyard.

He did his best to move quickly and quietly, but 74 kilos of man makes that a little difficult.

“We are going to make a visit somewhere, ok? I’m going to show you where one of my cousins used to live”

He heard a faint sound of affirmation from Fenrir, which caused him to pick up his pace.

‘Fuck. I need to hurry’

He rushed down a few streets, and then heard scratching sounds behind him.

He froze.

‘Shit, don’t tell me they tracked me down’

He spared a quick glance over his shoulder to see a spiker staring at him.

He quickly grabbed a paralysis grenade from Fenrir's belt, and throws it at the spiker, before starting to sprint down the street.

He hears other Archaeans approaching the location of where the grenade went off, but all he could focus on was getting to that apartment.

At least there he would be able to actually examine Fenrir properly.

He found the alleyway that led to the apartment and nearly skidded to a stop as he turned the corner, with Fenrir’s weight causing him to slide into a wall.

He was almost horrified to see the state of the apartment. The disrepair was made worse by the sprawl creeping up the walls. But he couldn’t stall, he had to make sure the man on his shoulders was ok.

He quickly made his way to the building, but much more wary of his surroundings. Which also made him hyperaware of the squelching of the sprawl beneath his feet, and the creak of the door as he opened it.

He quickly made his way to the third floor, not giving himself time to stop. He gingerly opened the door to his cousin’s apartment.

It looked like time stood still for the apartment, and the only sign of time passing was the dust covering every inch of the place.

‘Ok, let's put him down somewhere and examine him’

He made his way to the living room couch and gently set Fenrir down, before going back to the door and installing three EDDs.

He walked back to the Swede and started stripping his gear.

‘Sorry about this, but i need to see where you're hurt’

He realized he was being heavy handed with the removal when he heard Fenrir’s sounds of pain.

“Sorry, I’ll be more careful”

He then gingerly removed the man’s uniform pants, thankful that Fenrir wore other clothing beneath his uniform.

Once he finished stripping the poor man, he carefully began examining his body, starting with his head and neck. Gently holding the man’s face, he checked his neck for any injury. Thankfully, there were none.

He then propped him up to check the back of his head, pressing his gloved fingers to various parts. Once he pressed the base of his neck, it came back with blood.

‘Shit’

“Whus’ wrong”, the Swede slurred out

“What?”

“You ssaid somethin’”

“Y-you must've heard wrong”

He set Fenrir back down and grabbed his flashlight. He took advantage of the man being awake and held one of his eyelids open, and turned on the light.

He watched as Fenrir’s pupil dilate before checking the other, breathing out a sigh of relief that both of his pupils reacted properly to the light.

He then moved on to his chest and stomach, and he froze when he saw the gash on the man's stomach. While it wasn’t to the point of disembowelment, it was deep and jagged.

He was surprised that the man wasn't screaming in pain on the way to the apartment.

He didn’t have any way of suturing the wound, but he did have bandages and cloth to place pressure on the wound.

He propped the Swede up again and tried to wrap the bandage around his waist before tucking the cloth over his wound, and then continued to wrap it tightly, and laid him back down.

“I’ll be back, I’m going to find you a blanket”

Fenrir gave him an imperceptible nod, and then he walked deeper into the apartment.

Thankfully, they kept the blankets in the same spot as what he was used to and quickly walked back to the Swede and gently draped the blanket over him.

“Rest for now, I’ll try to contact REACT”

He watched as the Swede fell asleep, and listened to his breathing become even, despite his breaths being quicker than usual.

Then he heard a loud thud from upstairs.

He immediately felt his pulse quicken as adrenaline rushed through his veins. He reached for his weapon as he heard footsteps approach the door.

He propped his weapon on the couch and watched the door through its scope.

Time seemed to slow as the door opened. And he felt every muscle in his body tighten in a way it never had before.

What stood there wasn’t an Archaean.

It was some otherworldly being that stood too much like a human, lights pulsing on it like a heartbeat, and beasts on its shoulders and hips.

All. Looking. At. Him.

And then it stepped in.

And then he was deafened by an explosion, and the door shrouded in smoke.

notes:

this is basically what happened with kapkan and fenrir before voruna found them. i wanted to explain why voruna smelled blood in the area

again, im a new writer, so id greatly appreciate feedback :>

The Encounter: Saint Petersburg, Russia [10:28am]

(no cw, but there is mention of the scent of blood owo)

POV: Voruna

‘So this is Earth’, she thought to herself as she stepped through the abandoned streets, sticking to the shadows of the tall buildings.

She gazed at the Archaean sprawl littering the walls and the streets, and then at the rubble

‘What a mess. I hope that the civilian evacuation was quick’

She feels Dynar shift before it shrouded her in invisibility.

‘What’s wrong? What do you see?’, she thinks to Dynar, as she quickly scans her surroundings.

She feels Dynar direct her further down the street, stepping carefully to not make noise. When she pauses to let a tormentor pass, a gust of wind carries a scent to her.

It was different. Where the Archaean infestation smelled of otherworldly rot, this new smell was one that felt like it belonged to this planet. But it also carried the scent of fear. And of blood.

She felt herself moving with urgency towards the scent. Finding a small crowd of Archaeans trying to break into a decrepit building, she decides to slip into a neighboring building before Dynar’s invisibility wanes.

She goes up to a window and watches.

‘It looks like they’re trying to get inside… don’t tell me that there are still people in the area’

She scans the building for possible entrances, getting concerned with how the building looks like it may collapse if too much were to happen. She knows that smashers were seen in the area, and if she were to attract the attention of one of those, she’d be in big trouble.

She felt Lycath and Raksh bickering on how to slay and feast on the Archaeans, disrupting her focus.

She was about to tell them to be quiet when she felt Ulfrun silence them, before guiding her attention to the roof of the building that the Archaeans were surrounding.

‘Alright, let’s do it’

She made her way up to the roof and walked to its edge. Her building was shorter, but it was close enough to jump to the fourth floor of the other building.

She spotted a window missing its glass pane.

‘Dynar, lend me your strength’

She feels its strength course through her body, and she jumps.

Those fleeting seconds in the air were exhilarating, and the closest she’ll ever be to any creature of the sky.

And then she threads herself through the window for a rolled landing.

It didn’t take long for her to adjust to the darkness, the room was more or less what she expected. Just,cleaner? No, it looked like people would’ve come back home at any moment, despite the dust and disrepair from the weather. It was eerie how everything was still organized.

She wandered the rooms until she found a way out of the apartment. She made sure to avoid walking on the center of the hallways as she made her way to some stairs.

The last thing she wanted to do was make noise.

The moment she landed on the third floor, the scent of fresh blood hit her like a brick. If it weren’t for her being a Tenno, she’d be nauseous by now.

She slowly made her way to the source, with the help of her wolves, as well as the blood trail that she found along the way. The smell was overpowering as she got to the door. There was a smeared handprint on it.

She hesitates, just for a moment, before pushing the door open.

She sees two figures, and one of them moves.

And she's staring down the barrel of a gun, with two piercing grey eyes behind it.

some notes:

it is gonna be a slow burn between kapkan, fenrir, and voruna

this takes place in the r6 extraction timeline, but in a scenario in which the archaean infestation is global

this is a warframe x siege crossover, in which the frames find out that earth is facing the archaean threat
