Hello folks I'm back with another chapter and this one is going to have a lot of fighting it in… (Basically I'm taking the time to write this and vent some anger… the only reason I'm angry is that I turned up for uni 2day and the lecturer hasn't turned up so I have to wait for almost 5 hours for my next one… at least I have this to take the time away.)
Ok on with the usual Crap before I start writing

Second things….
I might be pushing the boarder of rated T again but I'm not going to try and go any higher… but who knows with how I feel I might not be able to help it
Ok on with the recap
When last I left off Chaos and Omega met there fathers at the battle arena and Chaos left the room they were in to have a private conversation with his father.
Now on with the chapter
Same set up as the last chapter
"Hello" – normal
"Hello" – thoughts
"Hello" – announcer
(Hello) – side notes
"Hello" - messages
Chapter 7Preparation
Chaos walks through the door with his father following suite
Kaos closes the door behind them and says
"What's this all about?"
"It's quite simple I wanted to tell you my progress on the projects. I have 3 candidates for Operation X…. I decided on Omega the first time I saw him pilot, he has skill but without the right wingman he will fall, that's why for the second person I choose Tyrant, he has a high knowledge of battle strategies and has a good skill as a pilot which would come in handy, he also seems to be able to control Omega's recklessness easily. Finally thanks to the data I just collected I think scorpion will do well. Of course he will require a new AC. That one he was using was a disgrace."
"Hm, very good start but we need at least 5 pilots for Operation X… that is the minimum requirement… I don't think that is all you wanted to talk about. No I think you wanted to shout at me for coming to that room when I knew full well that you were there. I wanted to give you something. (he holds out a disc and chaos takes it) it is a program for Hell Zone. It will disable the system on the computers here, which prevent the pilots from been hurt. I want you to go use Hell Zone and go against Shadow Sword in a match tonight. I have decided on my 2 pilots for project storm and project shadow. I need to test there abilities in a proper battle though. I choose you for Project Storm. I choose Omega foe Project Shadow. The systems on Hell Zone and Shadow Sword will shut down once me and Anubis decide if you have done enough to prove your worth."
"You want me to do what? I can't pilot Hell Zone! Besides the moment we enter the arena we will be locked out for illegal entry."
"Not quite my son, if you active program Kaos2.exe on the systems your bio reading will be the same as mine. It is the perfect situation; the judges will think that 2 former rivals decided to settle an old score in the arena"
"Fine I will do it, where is Hell Zone I'm going to need it."
"it is in the cargo hold of my transport ship. But don't go until half way through the Nine Breaker Match. Then by the time you make it back to the arena the match will be over and you can make the surprise entrance. Me and Anubis will be up in this V.I.P room with the others. They won't know something is going on until you and omega turn up in are AC's."
"Ok, but just on question. Does Omega know about this situation?"
"He should do in a minute. Anubis will tell him… but we should head back in or else we will miss the second match of the night. And that is not going to be one to miss."
Chaos goes to head back into the room but his father stops him and says
"One last thing I have an upgrade for your glasses there. Not only will they help you see out of that blind eye of yours but it will allow you to magnify to allow you to study opponents more closely at greater distances. It should give you more of an edge in battle. All I need is those glasses for a second."
Chaos takes off his glass and hands them to his father. Kaos places a new lens over the right eye piece he then hands them back.
"ok done, you use them the same way as always."
Chaos and Kaos enter the room again. Anubis nods to Kaos as they enter and Chaos walks over to Scorpion and Dusk who seem to be have a very heated conversation over situation of Chaos been Dusks boyfriend.
"Alright people we are finally read for the second fight of the night. This will see the team of Dragon and Leviathan facing off against a team of 2 people which should by all rights be dead with the number of suicide missions they take. The Team of Venom and Carnage."
The door in the arena open and 4 ACs come out, AC White dragon is a hover Ac with 2 high powered cannons on its back and carrying a shot gun in its hand. AC flying dragon is a tank track model with 2 huge cannons on its back, holding a high powered bazooka in its hand and a shield to add some extra protection. AC snakebite is a small AC with duel legs, the only weapons it uses are 2 beam blades which can both have a paralyzing effect on an opponents AC. Where as AC Rampage is a tank track model equip with lots of different high powered cannons. It has 2 cannons on its back, a bazooka in its hand and a flame thrower in its other hand.
"all 4 of these AC's are similar, even though it doesn't look like it AC white dragon is extremely fast, it uses light weight parts with a high powered booster giving it extreme speed. That speed will come in handy against AC snakebite. Where as AC Flying Dragon and AC Rampage use super powered weapons which can layout most opponents in but a couple of shots."
The 4 AC's got into position and prepare for the match to start.
(in the V.I.P room)
Chaos pushes the button on his glasses to activate the data record he then places his arm around Dusk who is sitting next to him.
(Back in the arena)
"Alright here it goes
3………
2…………
1……………
Begin"
As soon as the words are spoken all 4 AC's make there opening move, both Lavi and Carnage fire shots from there back cannons well dragon and venom move in for closer ranged combat.
(score board)
Lavi – 9328
Dragon – 8563
Venom – 8775
Carnage – 9920
"From the looks of the scores folks, it looks like venom and carnage have taken an early lead but there is still plenty of time for dragon and lavi to pull this back"
Dragon gets in close enough and fires a couple of shots into snakebite but is caught off guard by a cannon shot from carnage Lavi pulls up and fires a cannon taking out the flame thrower at the same time as temporary disabling the arm of Rampage. Dragon and Lavi then swap opponents. Dragon using its speed to its advantage dodging move of the cannon shots from carnage. When he is close enough dragon fires his shot gun trying to over heat his opponent. But AC Snakebite slashes white dragon in the back. Flying Dragon fires its cannons but not only hits venom hits dragon as well.
(score board)
Lavi – 9328
Dragon – 4358
Venom – 4639
Carnage – 7000
That last shot from Lavi took it out of both his opponent and his teammate. Dragon is not going to be happy. But it may have been the break they needed because look, Venom's boosters are damaged. That will seriously effect the speed of there team. Carnage seem to be getting reckless out there. He is just firing those cannons wildly I think he hit Venom a couple of times there. If he keeps it up their team isn't going to have any ammo left.
The announcer was right despite the fact that AC rampage's weapons were powerful they had a very small amount of ammo to them. This was the down fall of there team. Carnage was reckless in the arena and would fight randomly not paying attension to his ammo supply.
(score board)
Lavi – 3000
Dragon – 1447
Venom – 500
Carnage – 4600
Carnage went to fire again to finish off dragon but as he pushes the fire button nothing happens. He looks at the ammo and finds that he has used up all of his ammo and with no close range weapons has left him self open for an attack. Venom seeing this goes to finish dragon instead only to be hit by the last shot from Lavi's bazooka sending his AP down to 0. Carnage now alone with no weapons tries to move but is to slow and gets pummelled with everything the champions have left, his AP soon reaches 0
Well there you go folks, what a match, Dragon and Lavi are true strategies, they waited out their opponents and made sure that they took out what they could to keep them distracted.
Ok now if you will wait well we set up the arena for the main event of the evening. The Match for the rank of Nine Breaker.
(V.I.P room)
Chaos reviews the last bit of data from the match. He waits for the processes to go through and the results come out. When they flash up all it reads is "Not suitable" Chaos turns his glass off and walks up to the glass thinking to him self
"I wonder what is wrong with them. All 4 of them were skilled. Even though they were reckless out there… oh that's why, scorpion wasn't reckless he knew what he was doing from the get go, those 4 may have been using everything they had but they were all very reckless. I guess with everything my father has put that much money into operation X he doesn't want a group of reckless pilots messing everything up"
Dusk now walks over to and asks
"What are you thinking? you have been kinda distant since you spoke with your father outside? If there is something wrong then you can talk with me about it?"
"It's nothing. But I want you to be careful. I having something I have to do before this next match starts. I will be back soon."
"What is it you have to do?"
"Nothing that important but it has to be done."
"Ok but you be careful"
Chaos smiles
"Don't worry, I'm always careful."
Chaos goes to walk out the room but is stopped by Anubis. Anubis leads chaos out of the room and says
"Don't mess up the next match wait for it to finish before you make the entrance. We have done a lot of planing for it. But it is still possible to go wrong if you make a mistake."
"Don't worry, I am only going to prep Hell Zone, the systems need to be recalibrate for my use. That's all I am going to do. I will be back before the next match starts. With any luck."
"Fine, Omega will need to prep Shadow Sword but knowing him he will wait. And do it once he gets there. Don't get caught out there. If you are caught then all are planning will be for nothing"
Chaos runs away pushing past some of the people which are around and Anubis returns to the room.
(30 minutes pass…)
Dusk getting slightly impatient at the fact chaos has yet to return. She is pacing up and down the room. She then looks around. She sees, Kaos, Anubis, Tyrant, Luna and scorpion but chaos and omega are missing…
"What the hell is going on here…. Where did chaos go… and when the hell did Omega leave?
That's it, when chaos gets back he is in trouble…. And I am one person he does not want to piss off…"
She starts pacing again, this time scorpion gets up and stops her. he says
"Calm down. He will be back, besides he said he would be back for the start of the nine breaker match, and that isn't starting for another hour"
"I know that but he hasn't eve attempted to talk to you, and the main reason, other than to watch you advance, I came here was for you to talk to him and except him as my boyfriend. I know the only guy you have ever let me date is Hades but I like Chaos…"
"Well if that's how you feel about him I'm not going to stop you from dating him. Just make sure that he feels the same way about you before hand."
Dusk just nods and smiles at Scorpion before pacing around again
(With Chaos)
Chaos stands in the cargo bay of a transport ship, he looks up at the giant Black duel legged AC in front of him. On the shoulder of the AC the Chaos Incorporated stood out been the only thing on the AC, which was white.
The weaponry on Hell Zone was a Gacling Cannon attached to its arm instead of a beam sword or shield, in the other hand was a large rifle and on the back are 2 mounted Linear Cannons.
"Ahahahahaha looks like my father still enjoys using the cannon on that arm instead of the beam sword. But it does make a difference to the ammo supply considering that rifle/cannon can only fire 3 times before it over heats and becomes useless and those linear cannons…. Since he mounted 2 on the back the power supply on give out enough energy for it to fire 5 times. Maybe I should leave the supreme cannon here and use a weapon with more ammo, eh I don't know will go use that new battle system he installed before I left to judge the battle capabilities of this so obviously overweight Mech. I wonder why he hasn't lessened the weight by removing one of those linear cannons. It would make life a lot easier.
Chaos walks over the AC and climbs the boxes that are stacked to the side of Hell Zone. He climbs up and continues to climb until he is close enough to climb into the cockpit of the Mech. He turns on the computer systems of the AC and starts to run the battle simulation program trying to find the right weaponry for the on coming battle. At the end of it he removed the gacling cannon and placed a beam sword on there in its place.
"Well this battle system says I have a 11.444 chance of winning with out a close range weapon. Where my odd are boost to 36.6537 chance of winning with the beam sword equip. ok next I need to set up the systems for me to use. And run the program so that my father's bio readings are displayed on the judge's computer and not mine. Luckily all this prototype Chaos.Inc technology makes life easier."
Chaos runs a few programs on the computer system and deciding that he is happy with it, looks at the battle computer. He notices there are new 4 e-mails… Chaos curious opens one of them and closes it quickly seeing something he really didn't want to see. (Use your imagination folks…. But it would be funny to hear you thoughts on what it was…. If someone gives a funny enough one I might use it later in the story as a way of Chaos black mailing his father) he see another one is from Anubis, again curious he opens the message
"Kaos, listen I don't think we should go through with this plan, if we get caught then we are going to be in serious, and I am not going to be an become a rogue pilot because i have had my piloting licence revoked for willing allowing an unlicensed and underage pilot taking control of my AC.
Send a message back when you get this!"
Chaos smirks then looks at the sends of the other, one just from the sender name chaos knows it is business related and the last one chaos fears is going to be something else he is not going to want to see.
Chaos looks at his watch and sees he has been gone almost an hour.
"Shit shit shit…. Gotta get back, that match will have most likely started by the time I get there. But there is nothing left for me to do with hell zone, well there is the one thing left, fighting in it. I just hope those prototype parts hold up during intense battle."
Chaos grabs one of the cables, which are there to tie Hell Zone down and slides down to the floor, burning his hands in the process. He tries to ignore the pain and runs back to the arena as fast as he can.
When chaos finally arrives at the V.I.P room he opens the door and is immediately tackle hugged by Dusk, they both fall to the floor in a heap. Chaos now in an embarrassing situation with his girlfriend lying on top of him in a way that could be seen as very sexual. Her legs around his waste holding him close to her. Luna and Tyrant smirking trying to hold back a laugh, Kaos and Anubis just shaking there head and scorpion with not the most pleased look on his face. Chaos just hugs Dusk back and says
"Wow, if this is what I get when I leave you for a short period of time then I might just consider doing it more often."
Dusk starts to blush and attempts to get up only to have chaos pull her back down into a kiss. When they break apart Dusk says
"Ok you can let me up now, I didn't mean to knock you down. I though you would of caught me and stayed on your feet."
"I would have if I had been expecting you to glomp me like that."
Chaos lets dusk up and then gets up himself making his way to the seating area seeing the final match up has yet to start.
"I have been gone over an hour, I am seriously surprised the match hasn't started. They are probably giving Razer and Isis some additional time to prepare there AC's for the Nine Breaker Battle."
Omega sneaks into the room without anyone seeing him and stands near the back. He is holding a controller in his hand. Anubis sees him and quietly walks over and asks his son
"Why do you have the autopilot control for Shadow Sword?"
"Because it is easier to call Shadow Sword to move closer to me than for me to run to it. Besides I won't have a very long period of time to get to it once it is obvious that mother is going to lose to Razer."
"I know you want your mother to win the battle but Razer is just to good. I bet that only either the great Raven who beat Klein or a raven equally as good could beat him. His skills are through the roof yet Kaos refuses to use him for…" Anubis stops himself from finishing the sentence and says "forget it… my point is Razer is powerful and there doesn't seem to be anyone in the arena who can beat him."
Omega a bit curious as to why his father stopped mid sentence but almost instantly threw any curiosity away and ignored it.
Alright folks, we are ready for the main event of the evening!
Entering the Arena first we have the challenger. She is the most dominant female pilot in the history of the arena
Please welcome ISIS in her AC Guardian Force!
A white hover AC enters the arena, the weapons are a rifle, a shield and a large rocket pack on its back. The AC moves to a point near the centre of the arena and waits.
Ok now we have the challenger we need the defending champion so please everyone welcome to the arena the most dominate pilot ever to enter the arena he is the Current Nine Breaker of Earth
Give it up for RAZER in his unstoppable AC Revolution!
A Red Duel legged AC enters the arena and moves in to position opposite Isis. The weapons on the AC are a Machine gun, Beam Sword, a mini nuke launcher and a large rocket launcher.
The 2 stand only a short distance from each other waiting for the start of the fire to be announced.
(in the V.I.P room)
"Isis will lose in less than 2 minutes… not that I want my wife to lose but it is only a matter of time."
Chaos laughs and to Anubis
"What makes you think that?"
"He has changed from his usual set up, the set up he is using is his speed finish gear… no1 has lasted more than 2 minutes against him like that. (now whispering) You best get to Hell Zone and you Omega (now turning and whispering to Omega) you had best get to Shadow Sword… this will be a quick to finish match. There is no point in waiting around."
Both chaos and omega nod and go to head out the door, chaos looks over to see dusk been distracted by Kaos. They both leave quietly and start to run, both splitting off when they get to the end of the corridor.
(Back in the arena)
Ok folks he it is, we are about to witness the match of the year.
Here we go
3….
2……..
1…………
GET IT ON!
The moment the start comes razer activates his beam sword and boosts in. before Isis can even think about moving Razer has already attacked and has used the beam sword to cut through Guardian Force.
OH MY GOD, HOLY SHIT…. THAT IS AMAZING… I think that might be it folks RAZER HAS JUST CUT THE ARM OFF OF GUARDIAN FORCE. NOW WITH ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF MISSLES SHE CANNOT WIN. RAZER MIGHT AS WELL JUST BE ANNOUNCED AS THE WINNER"
It was true the arm of Guardian force had fallen to the floor. Razer turned back around and filled the back of Guardian force with bullets, he then boost backwards and fires a nuke to finish off Isis.
Both AC's power down
And there we have it folks razer has defeated Isis in less than 1 minute…. In fact I have just gotten the official time and it was 26.94 seconds. That is not Razers personal best though. His best is 12.45 seconds.
Just then one of the doors to the arena explodes and boosting through the smoke is a Large Black and White Duel Legged AC (I like the duel legged more than other types) its weapons are a rifle/cannon, beam sword, vertical missiles on the back. Hidden in the interior is a set of high-powered mines.
The AC boosts in, stops in the centre and waits
I don't understand this folks, why has Anubis in Shadow Sword entered the Battle zone? Has he come to get revenge for his wife's defeat?
Before the announcer can continue with what he is saying the door at the other side of the arena is cut in half and the 2 parts fall down. Hell Zone boosts in and stops a small distance from Shadow Sword. Both AC's lift up there rifles aiming at each other ready to fire.
Now we have Hell Zone here. What does this mean I am waiting for a word from the judges to find out what is happening here. Please just wait a moment.
OK I have got word now… both pilots check out. These are really Kaos and Anubis out there. What does this mean?
Both pilots lower the rifles and boost back a short distance and prepare to fight. Chaos activates the program to deactivate the safety protocols. He then brings the rifle up to aim on Omega and Shadow Sword.
WOW folks look like we are going to have a legendary match up. Something I have wanted to see for years. Kaos in Hell Zone Vs Anubis in Shadow Sword… this will be a match for the ages that is a guarantee…
Kaos and Anubis are standing in the V.I.P room with Dusk Tyrant Luna and Scorpion. Kaos smiles and says to Anubis
"Just like we planned"
Everyone in the room is watching excitedly. None of them have noticed that Omega and Chaos are not in the room anymore
Shadow sword lifts the rifle up and fires at Hell Zone, Chaos boost out of the way at the last second right before the shot hits. When the shot hits the wall it explodes releasing a spread of anti matter. Chaos returns the favour by firing his rifle. Omega moves out of the way and the shot hits a wall, that one explodes as well. When the smoke has cleared the entire wall starts to collapse.
Razer still in the arena grabs the AC guardian force and boost out of there to allow the two to beat the shit out of each other.
The 2 rivals look at each other and both drop there cannon weapons and activate there beam swords.
LOOK AT THE DAMAGE THOSE CANNONS CAUSED…. THIS IS INSANE… IF THEY HAD HIT EACH OTHER THEY MAY HAVE KILLED EACH OTHER
AND NOW WITH THOSE BEAM SWORDS… THIS IS SHAPING UP TO BE THE LEGENDARY MATCH I ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE…
Chaos and Omega both Charge in and Clash with the Beam Swords…
TO BE CONTINUED…
Aren't I mean… the next chapter is going to be this entire fight… more destructive, more action and a lot of surprises.
Ok would of posted this up on Friday night but I had a date with my girlfriend, was very hung over on Saturday and refused to leave my bed. (Give me a break, I had a lot to drink, something like 15 pints in the space of 6 hours. Most I have ever drunk and I'm never ever going to drink that much again). But the up side of that is I did get some of my university course work done. I was busy all day Sunday and Monday I couldn't get on So it is now Tuesday and I am finally posting this up.
Ok I now just going to try and write one chapter a week for now… I finish uni for the summer in like 8 weeks so after that I will just be bored senseless. My girlfriend don't finish college for 4 weeks after I finish uni… and most of my mates will be working most the time… if I can stick to it then I should have this first story in the trilogy finished by the time I finish uni for the summer. And can spend the 4 weeks after that working on the second story….
Ok I have to give some credit where credit is due for this chapter.
4 guys from uni have to have some credit as they were playing AC as I was writing this and were inspiring me for some of the manoeuvres they were doing and I also took the model for AC Snakebite from one of them…. (The guy was just using a beam sword on his AC to show off…. So I though it would be good to use it… a side note to that is he was quickly dispatched when he faced my AC… and I not going to reveal the name it cause I going to use my AC later on in this story… just FYI Hell Zone is not my AC…. It used to be but after 5 years I got bored of it and changed it…)
Another credit is for one of my lecturers who actually sat and read this entire fan fiction (so far) and has help me with a few character details. (It really does help been on a computer games design course and having lecturers who also teach character development and design just to get some advice. So I'm going to be developing my characters a lot more in the future. And it is just in time as I have a very important character to the story coming up in the next few chapters.)
On a side note my lecturer did tell me that Chaos is a crap name for a good guy (and I do agree)…. But I'm going to state a fact now, that Chaos is not a good guy…. And he not a bad guy either… but there is something important about him which will be revealed later on (third story later on)
I don't class anyone as good or evil because I don't believe in either. There is no clear line. What one-person classes as good can be seen in someone else's point of view as evil. And the same with evil, what you might see as evil could really be good. It is all a matter of one's point of view.
Just some there for you all to think about.
Ok my next update will be Saturday night…. (I setting Saturday as the day cause I know if I haven't had much of a chance to write anything during the week I can use all day Saturday to write it…)
So please R&R…
