Chapter 1: Omega Angel
It seemed like a fairly simple mission, easy too. I was to help a squad of plated chicken-walker MTs stop an AC from destroying a small tech lab. I thought it was a sure thing until I saw the AC itself. It was colored white with red and blue sections, reminding me of a story I once read about a patriotic superhero. It came screaming towards the MTs and me, its dragging humanoid legs tearing up the streets of Isaac City. He was armed with a WG-AR1000 machine gun, a blue event sword and a WC-GN230 grenade launcher. When he got within about 200 meters, his AC blasted almost straight up into the air. He descended onto the valiant, yet doomed MTs, raining machine gun shells down upon them. One MT managed to scoot away and return fire, but the shots did little, if any damage, before it was split in two by the assailant's beam saber. Hitting the ground and turning to the only surviving MT, the machine kneeled down and armed its grenade launcher. A moment later, the MT and about a ten yard radius around it were engulfed in flame. He stood up, walked over to the tech lab and attached a bomb to it.
"You should choose your company more carefully," he said through his communication system to mine. I just sat there frozen with fear while he set the timer on the explosive. When he got up to leave, I finally activated my transmission system and spoke.
"Why are you sparing me?" I managed to get out.
"I don't kill fellow ravens without just cause." With that, he turned and put his boosters on full before blasting off. My COM system crackled out one last message: "My name is Omega Angel." It was almost too late when I realized that I had to get out of there, and headed back to base. I looked around just in time to see the tech lab explode and the halved MT's fuel tanks ignite. When I got back to base, I showered and headed for the restaurant where I was meeting some of my friends.
"How many in your party?" the clerk asked.
"Ah, shut up Fugami, I'm not in the mood," I replied as I walked over to where my friends were sitting. Larissa, or Otaku as she liked to be called, was sitting next to me while Ben, formally known as Dragonslayer, and Tokari, arena name G-Fan, sat on the other side of the table. By the way, my name is Alex, and in the arena, I go by Demon Hunter.
"So Alex, how went the mission?" Larissa asked.
"I failed and came away with my life. It was incredible," I began telling them. "It was supposed to be simple, I even had six MTs with me."
"Armored chickens?" Tokari inquired.
"Yep, your favorite if I can recall." I began again. "But Chrome forgot to tell me who the AC was. You guys ever heard of Omega Angel?" Only Tokari nodded. "Well, him or her, I don't really know much about that mech. It came straight towards us and took out the MTs lickety-split. He put a bomb on the lab, armed it and boosted back home."
"He say anything to you?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, told me he didn't kill other ravens without just cause," I said. "He told me his name, too...then he left."
