There were eight people at the bunker, including me. Nix and Wanzer I had already had met, I found out later that the girl I had bumped into was named Lunar. There was also Leperman, Fox, Goatling, Crimson (Lunar's brother, which I learned in an…embarrassing encounter with him), and I of course.

We had nothing to do but search for more survivors, and even that was dangerous because of the MTs.

One day I was fixing my AC when I received an email. The sender: Jack-0. I was surprised. I had not seen him for several months while staying at the bunker. I thought he was dead. I had almost forgotten about him.

He was asking me for help. This surprised me even more. An accomplished Raven, asking me, a mere novice at the practice, for help? It didn't make much sense to me.

He wanted help infiltrating the place where the kamikaze MTs were coming from. I gave him a quick email saying I would do it.

You can't live in fear, so why be bothered by it?

I brought Buko Joe out of the small hangar and set off to the spot where Jack told me to go. It was in the ruins of Circ City.

We cruised though the city for a long time before he stopped. He brought me to a door that looked like an elevator to a huge building. We went into it, but it didn't go up, that was for sure. I could feel it going faster and faster, until Buko Joe's feet actually left the floor.

I was well above the floor when the elevator finally stopped. I flicked my boosters on to prevent myself from hard landing, and met up with Jack, already down on the ground.

We boosted down a long tunnel until Jack stopped me. I could hear a slight buzzing sound.

The sound was coming from a large amount of kamikaze MTs. Jack and I dodged them as good as we could, but the short space left much to be desired. We continued dodging them for several minutes, making our way out of the tunnel when we came to a huge drop.

"I guess you would want to go first?" I asked him. He said nothing, but his AC fell to the dark chasm. I said a light prayer and plunged down into the darkness too.

After a fall that continued for ages, we fell into a large, circular room with six pillars of light in the center. "Come on, we have to destroy the six generators on the wall over there," Jack said.

BZZT!

A pink colored laser came from the pillar and struck Buko Joe's right arm. Luckily it didn't break it off or do too much damage. Two more lasers came down, one hitting the floor, the other hitting Foxeye.

Foxeye wasn't damaged much, so we continued on, firing at the generators on the surrounding walls. Soon, all six were damaged what seemed beyond repair.

We stopped to rest, as our AC's were covered in scorch marks and rips. "What the fuck is that?" Jack-0 said. I looked at my radar and saw an object approaching.

From the ceiling, no less.

An orange and blue colored machine landed squarely in the middle of the floor. "Watch it! That's a Pulverizer!" Jack-0 yelled. "A what?" I asked.

I really need to pay attention to more serious matters on hand during times of danger.

It rushed across the room, slashing my AC three times, and nearly destroying Buko Joe's right arm. The bazooka couldn't fire anymore, so I dropped it and retreated to get a better view of this "pulverizer"

It had glowing blades protruding from its arms. They must be stronger than the Moonlight. I already lost an arm, and I didn't want to lose another, but the pulverizer was so fast, there was almost no way I could dodge it.

The pulverizer kneeled on the ground. "Stay back!" Jack yelled. Long-range bursts of energy found their targets, breaking off the right arm, and blowing off a chunk of the head. "Idiot!" Jack-0 screamed. Not a very friendly man, is he?

The pulverizer stood up and put its blades in an "X" position. Luckily, I was smart enough to move before a gigantic ball of blue energy rushed towards me.

Five seconds later, it was on me again, trying to blade me several more times. And people said I got all the fun in high school.

I brought Buko Joe's blade out and slashed at the pulverizer. Unsurprisingly, it didn't do much damage, but I nearly leaped in joy. At least I had hit it.

And Jack just sat there on his ass and did nothing. I was gonna kill him once I got finished with the pulverizer.

Then, it did a weird thing. It went towards me, slashing at me once more, before disappearing through one of the air ducts at the top of the room.

"You did good against the pulverizer. But you do know too much. I've come too far to let a lone Raven use this technology itself," Jack said.

His tone was more icy than usual.
