It was a battle on the Exoplanet, the ARES Division and the 6-4 were completely going at it, despite the hostile indigenous creatures called Prowlers. Pilot John Wray of the ARES Division and his Legion-class Titan, AT-2965, were providing support fire to a friendly Tone, destroying a Tone as a result.

"[Pilot, I detect a hostile on my hull.]" "Turn around, AT. I'll deal with him." John readied his SMR. A small explosion occured on the Legion's hull, followed by the green light trail of a Titan Battery Pack. Before John could open fire, a massive shotgun blast evaporated the 6-4 Pilot, killing the target.

"[Target terminated.]" "Nice shot, big guy." John picked up the Battery and reinstalled it.

Not long after John executed an Ion Prime, the battle was over. The ARES Division had lost and was forced to evacuate. Upon reaching the Evac Point, John had to make a choice: stay with AT-2965, or evacuate with the other Pilots.

"[Looks like the end of the road for us, Pilot. I will hold them off, go!]" "Negative!" AT-2965's Pilot chose not to go with the evacuating Pilots. It was a smart move as the Evac Ship was destroyed by two Laser Cores and three Salvo Cores. "[Did you foresee the destruction of the Evac Ship?]" "Yeah, I expected that to happen." He wasn't lying.

With the Evac destroyed, John and AT-2965 were stranded in a hostile environment.

"Not good not good not good not good!" AT-2965's Pilot was becoming frantic as he realized his current situation. "[Calm down and the answer will become clear.]" "Easy for you to say, Gyatso! What do we do?!" "[I will remain here and secure the area, you will take Batteries from the remaining enemy Titans. My hull integrity is quite low, check your HUD for the percentage.]" 14%.

"I'll be back, AT. Count on that." John mimicked the tone of voice of the Terminator, even using the famous quote. "[I look forward to seeing you again, ...Arnold Schwarzenegger.]" "Heh heh."

As AT-2965 assumed a combat-ready position, his Pilot rushed to the nearest hostile Titan. Using his Low Profile Kit, the Pilot managed to slip onto a 6-4 Tone with an exposed Reactor Core. The 6-4 Pilot inside was unprepared for a rodeo attack, which cost him his life.

The Tone exploded, one less threat for John and AT-2965. "AT, I've got a Battery. I'm on my way back." "[Confirmed. Awaiting your return.]" As the Pilot made his way to his Titan, Splitter Rifle blasts were coming from around the corner. "[Pilot, our location has been compromised.]" AT-2965 blocked the energy shots with the Gun Shield.

"AT, Pilot-Mode!" The Legion knelt down as John slid between the Titan's metal legs, his cockpit open for his Pilot to enter. They were ready for combat. "[Smart Core is ready.]" "Ready to turn some Titans into swizz?" "[Smart Core on.]" With wildly precise rounds from the Predator Cannon, John completely decimated the Ion. "[Hostile Pilot has disembarked. Action efficiency: poor.]" The 6-4 Pilot died before he could go fully invisible.

"[Hostile Pilot KIA.]" Disembarking from AT-2965, John landed on the Ion and proceeded to remove the Battery. With swift moves, AT-2965 ripped the Ion's legs to pieces. The Legion's Pilot removed the Battery before dropping an Electric Smoke Grenade in the now open slot.

"[Good work, Pilot. We now have only four more Titans to deal with.]" "Three Titans, actually. The last Battery I got caused a Titan to explode. We've got an Ion and Two Tones left to deal with." "[Acknowledged.]" John installed the Battery. A solid 47% health for the Legion. "This should get interesting." "[I agree, Pilot. Let us hope we can survive three remaining enemy Titans.]" "AT, listen. We went into battle with an Ion at twenty-seven percent hull integrity, and came out at forty-seven percent. Do the math." "[Of course, Pilot. We have little to no need to fear them as long as we keep to our current tactics, they have already extinguished their Cores on the Drop Ship. I am detecting organic hostiles approaching. Bio-scan indicates a pack of Prowlers incoming. Neutralizing scent.]" AT-2965 was smart to neutralize his Pilot's odor, that way he won't be sniffed out.

A group of at least seven Prowlers rushed out from the cover of the trees and into the Titan's sight. "[Quiet... Don't make any sudden movements or sounds...]" John simply nodded. The Prowlers approached the Legion, sniffing all over the metal surface to find their next meal.

The Titan released a cloud of Electric Smoke, causing the Prowlers to look disperse. "[A dangerously close tactic, Pilot. We are lucky to have made it out.]" "We're lucky to have survived an enemy Titan and come out with your hull partially repaired." "[You appear wiser than me on the subject, Pilot.]" "Apparently. Now let's get out of here." John and AT-2965, now in AI-Mode, made their way to the nearest possible hiding spot. "AT, stay here, I'll go look for more Batteries." "[Confirmed. I am detecting an unused Titan Battery Pack six kliks to the East. Recommend recovering it.]"

John proceeded to go and check it out. To the Pilot's luck, a Battery was just in sight, next to a dead 6-4 Pilot. "AT, I found it." "[Acknowledged. However, I am detecting an incoming enemy Titan.]" "Got it. I'll be careful."

A 6-4 Titan passed by John's position, carrying a 40mm Tracker Cannon, another Tone. The Pilot jumped on the Tone and grabbed a hold of the Battery before the Titan's cockpit opened, releasing another 6-4 Pilot, a mechanical one. John hopped off without the Battery, grappling to the Pilot, and securing the kill, leaving a Titan for him to take Batteries from.

"[Pilot, your heartrate just accelerated. What happened?]" "Just had an encounter with a 6-4 Pilot. I'm all good. Why don't you take a look at what I've got for you?" AT-2965 left his hiding spot before proceeding to his Pilot's location. Upon arrival, the Legion nearly dropped the Predator at the sight of an offline Tone and a pile of Batteries.

"[The extent you are willing to go is quite honorable.]" AT-2965 allowed his Pilot to install the Batteries. With the last green cylinder integrated, the Legion was no longer on fire. AT-2965 was fully repaired. "[Pilot, thank you. I will not forget this.]" As John and AT-2965 wondered about the remaining 6-4 Ion in the area, the Pilot had an idea. "We could hide in the woods." "[With all those Prowlers? No.]" "Not if we build a place in the woods." "[Building a structure? I correct my decision. I will assist you.]"

The Pilot and Titan ran into the forest as a 6-4 Ion passed a corner, noticing them. It was the last one.

"Gates, this is Henry Lehn. I just caught visual of the Pilot and Titan. A Legion-class Titan, chassis number: Alpha Tango two-nine-six-five. Accompanied by a Grapple Pilot. They appear to be running into the forests of the planet." "Copy that. Follow them, but do not engage."
