Armored Core: Fate of the Nine Breakers
by shhh


Disclaimer; I don't own any armored core, they do.

Note: This story is basiclly a re-write on the history of the nine-breaker(s). Going from Nine-ball to Armored Core 3.

A black and purple AC is seen leaving the lab which contained the nine-balls. Carrying the head of ultimate nine-ball. It emblem a froozen c and bloody b with a burning anarchy symbol in the foreground. The words Cold Blood no.2 insribed on a banner under the symbols.

Pilot Rank: S-1
Pilot Name: Raor Stones
AC Name: Bong

The pilot who defeated nine-ball, said by some to be just lucky, others say invincable. He seems emotionless in battle, ruthlessly hunting his opponents until their destruction. The emblem he carries is from his days in the military, a progetech special forces group Cold Blood. He is the last living member of his squad. Many have threatened his crown as Nine-Breaker but none have sucseeded. But this is a new era. Nine-ball is long dead, but Stones lives on. Always training to be better and always on the look out for new technology. He doesn't plan to lose.

... However their is a new threat

Pilot Rank: A-1
Pilot Name: Lukav Mineav Jr.
AC Name: Outlaw

A very impressive rookie you took control of the arena as fast as anyone. He is the son of Lukav Mineav the man heading the Cold Blood unit when it exsisted. Stones seems to be waiting in the background to see what he can really do.

Lukav: Hey Lara did they send the head parts in yet?
Lara: I handle your missions not your AC, but yes.
Lukav: Sorry sorry sorry.
Lara: By the way you have a new mission, but the sender is unknown.
Lukav: How much?
Lara: I don't think..
Lukav: How much!
Lara: 200,000 credits.
Lukav: I accept.
Lara: But, oh never mind.

At mission site Old Isaac City.
Lukav: Were are they?
Lara: I have a bad feeling, get out of their.
Lukav: Shut up!..
Many footsteps heard obviouly MTs, and one jumping boost clearly an AC.
Stones: Now we test your skill.
Lukav: You!
The MTs splitt up one group is a flying type another dash and another cloaked.
Stones: Beat them.
Lukav: Shit!
Lukav punches the overboost and flies out and blades the cloaked MTs while he can see them. Them shoots down the fliers with an energy sniper rifle. Finally missles the dashers.
Lukav: Their!
Stones: Impresive most impresive, but your still not ready.
Stones flies up Lukav chases.
Stones: No kid sorry no following.
Lukav's AC is hit by and MT rocket disabling all fcs and energy functions.
Lukav: Damn.
Lara: Are you alright?
Lukav: Fine.

Back at base at Layered.
Lukav: Why? Why did he bring me their?
Lara: We got another one probably him again.
Lukav: Were going.

On board dropship.
Lukav: What?!
Lara: I said once you land, head into the mountains the entrance it their!
Lukav: Got it!

Thud
AC voice: All systems online.
Lukav: Now will see what your up to.

At the mountain entrance.
Lukav: This place is so old.
Lara: Be careful we'll be out of radio contact for awhile.
Lukav: Figures.

His AC blasts the door open and walks in a long tunnel in front of him, as he walks a blue and white AC pops out.

?: III I don'tt cacare who who who you arre.
Lukav: What?
The two start moving, further into the building, into a large room.
?: Le lets fi fight raraven will settle this in battle.
?: Combat mode is now engaged.
Lukav: Three of them!
Lukav's ac starts blasting on of them it falls rather quickly, another rushes him.
Lukav: Back off way off.
Outlaw pops him with missles he too falls.
Lukav: Why havnt you moved?
?: Tartget verified commencing hostilities!
The blue one darts upward and flies around Lukav apperantly using overboost.
Lukav: Gotcha!
His sniper rifle takes out the blue ACs booster system. Lukav rushes it and cuts in two. He walk toward the exit, it opens and as he walks in diffrent ACs are in containers.
Lukav: What the?
Stones: My greatest rivals ACs. Nine-Ball, Ultimate Nine-ball, Necro, Subjugator, Anteries, Aries, Matthais, Ace, Exile, countless other ravens, and now you. I once destroyed the machine, but I am the machine.

The next hall opens a gigantic arena. At the other end Bong.
Stones: Do you really think I would let you just destroy an empire I spent my life on? The controller, Klein, everything after nine-ball was of my doing. As for the matter of your father. He didnt die in battle, he found out what I had planned and wanted to stop it but, I couldnt allow that.
Lukav: You Bastard!
Stones: Die Rebel!!

The two ACs encircle each other while boosting. Stones takes to the air too high for Lukav to follow.
Lukav: How the fuck?
Stones: Ha, I'm not only the only living nine-breaker, but the only living specimen of human plus not op-intensify.
Lukav: Mother..
Stones starts unloading on Outlaw with his chain gun, stealthing himself.
Lukav: Fuck fuck fuck, get down here!
Lukav rushes Bong and swipes at him but Stones backs up just enough and cut Lukav back down.
Stones: Pitiful, your not ready yet. We will meet again Rebel, until then.
Lukav: FCS error, SHIT!!
Stones: You are indead powerful, but not ready. I will make you ready.
Lukav: Lara?!
Lara: ....
Lukav: Lara?!
Lara: ye..yes?
Lukav: Have the transport ready.

To be continued...
Note: For those of you wondering Stones is my Armored core pilot, the name Bong is my own psychological trick. Who would take an AC named Bong serious? right.
