Titanfall: Survivors of Demeter
You want an excuse as to why I haven't posted at all in ages? PS4, Killzone Shadow Fall, Infamous: Second Son and Titanfall on my 360. I played the Demeter mission in the campaign as IMC and, spoiler alert, Spyglass went all, "Fuck yo evac!" and killed us all. This is a tale of an IMC Pilot who survives the occasion, with the assistance of another. Rated T for violence and a slow-build romance, maybe light lemons later on. With all that aside, lets go!

Pilot Xiana Markins of the IMC was not having a very fun day. First off, she was stuck with the most asinine fools in the IMC as wingmen (All guys).
Then the Militia rebels attack Demeter, possibly the most important planet on the frontier, with their remaining forces, and now it's minutes away from blowing up. Just wonderful.
She was in the midst of piloting her ATLAS class Titan, equipped with a Triple Threat grenade launcher, slaved warheads and electric smoke. her own armaments were a simple B3 Wingman revolver and a G2A4 rifle with ACOG scope.
Xiana punched a spectre android out of mid-air and shot her Triple Threat at an enemy grunt team, killing all but one, who's leg was blown off at the knee. She didn't even notice the crunc as she crushed him beneath her tread.
She loved the sensation of controling a Titan, feeling the gun recoil in her hands, firing rockets with a mere thought.
She laughed at the feeling of her lock on, and she fired the missiles at a STRIDER class Titan, who started to go nuclear, before she grabbed the pilot out of the cockpit and tossed him away, deactivating the nuclear core in the process.
Suddenly, an alert pops up on-screen, along with Video feed of sergeant Blisk, her unit commander.
"All units, be ready to Evac. We've failed this operation." he said in his half british accent.
Suddenly a similiar box containing Spyglass, the AI commander of operations, popped on to her visor.
"Negative. Cancel all evacuation flights and ready for detonation."
"Spyglass, what are you doing!" Blisk shouted
"Merely containing the issue."
"You're killing thousands of soldiers!"
"Casualties acceptable. Continuing current path of commands."
Xiana stared disbelievingly at Spyglass in the feed, who disconnected from the net. She looked around, the ground was a mess. doens of troopers running around, a few smartening up and running or the buildings.
Not that that would help. The blast from the fuel tanks going off would be enough to kill off anything on the surface.
She had an idea. she began firing her TripleThreat at the ground, digging a small hole a few feet deep. She then jumped out, landing on the ground with a thump, before she dove into her little foxhole. she used her internal control unit on her titan to command it to lay flat over the hole.
She hoped the Titan would absorb the blast, keeping the temperature of her foxhole bearable.
She looked around, crouched in her foxhole while her Titan ran over. She was suddnely blindsided by a Militia Pilot, his sidearm out, firing at her. She fired back. She didn't miss.
The pilots lifeless corpse tumbled to the ground, missing a good percetage of his windpipe. She continued to scan her sorroundings, when a Milita grunt ran past her. Acting on instinct, she grabbed his ankle and pulled him into the dugout just as her Titan dove onto the ground above them.
"Bwaah! Please don't kill me!" He pleaded.
"Trust me pal, if I wanted you dead, you'd be dead." Xiana replied.
"O...okay then." he stutttered. "What do you want with me?"
"Nothing. if you wnat to live through this, this is probably the safest place you can be right now."
"Do you really think your Titan can really absorb the pressure?"
"I can only hope... What's your name?"
"D... D... David."
