Armored Core: The Hell of Ziomatrix
Chapter 2: another ally...

AN: nothing belongs to me other then Kainjest Altonis Lorag, Sofia IV, LightSpeed, and ThunderNight...oh! and my laptop, charger cable, and the little box I live in! not even Blitz belongs to me! Sorry for the really long delay between the first chapter and this one...n.n()

AN: THANKS TO THE VARIOUS PEEPS WHO PREREAD MY STORY!

Blitz woke from his sleep thinking of the day before. "It was only a dream," he said, scratching his head. He walks into the Raven HQ, and literally runs into Kain. Both looking groggy and in need of sleep. Needless to say, the HQ was filled with a very loud yell of fear. After a while, the two got into their cores and received the same mail.
"Blitz, Kain, you two did well on your mission yesterday! You will be sent on another mission today together, and must act as allies. The next mail is your mission."
The two blankly looked at the message before receiving the next mail.
"You three are to take out rogue ravens, twelve of them to be exact. There are three of you on this mission due to the difficulty of it. They were ten of our highest ranking ravens now demanding money or they will destroy the HQ. They may be terrorists now, but they took their cores with them when they left. We expect that you three, and the top three, will be able to take them all out."
"BLITZ! Who's our other ally?"
"I don't know, but I think we'll find out. Look to your right."
"Alright, who are you?"
"..."
"SPEAK DAMNIT! SPEAK!"
"..."
"GOD DAMNIT! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!"
"........."
"Bastard..."
"Kain, calm down"
"My name is...Drew"
"YOU THREE! YOU WILL BE WORKING TOGETHER! ACT LIKE IT!" on those words, all three fall out of their chairs in fear. Once they get back up, they start marching off, Drew in the Flare Dragon, kain in Sofia IV, Blitz in †µ€ §p|¯ëÈÑ (if you can't read it, it says The Spleen)
"I'm gonna kill that bitch we have to call our new commander..." said kain, pissed off at their new commander
"I HEARD THAT! KAIN, I'M GONNA TALK TO YOU AFTER THE MISSION!"
"hai..." Kain said, then he muttered under his breath "bitch"
"KAIN!"
"RIGHT, RIGHT!"
"Kain...she's gonna kill you"
"SHUT UP BLITZ!"
"Sorry i spoke..."

They finally arrived at the location of the rouge ravens, and the front of the three cores opened. "We have your money" kain said, holding out a briefcase and opening it.
"Good, Good" said one of them, opening the front of his core and stepping out
"Careful, it might be a trap. Why else would there be three of them?" said a second
"There's twelve of us and only three of them, what could go wrong?" a third said
"You got a point there" the second responded
"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP?!?!" the first yelled at the other two, turning his attention away from Blitz, Drew, and Kain.

After about an hour of yelling, the first finally turned back towards the three ravens, who had fallen asleep. "WAKE UP YOU THREE!" he yells, and four of the rouge ravens point their guns at Kain, Blitz, and Drew.
"Alright guys, ready for it?" Kain whispers after he tosses the briefcase at the 'leader' of the rouges and closes his core.
"It's four to one, should we really go through with this?" was Blitz's quiet reply, and a small nod could be seen from drew through the window showing him.
"what could go wrong?"
"Everything"
"Shut up clit..."
"It's Blitz..."
"Whatever" Kain said as he appeared to extend his core's left hand forward in a handshake, which the leader didn't take in case it was a trap, and instead sent one of his underlings to take the mech's hand with his own's.
"NOW!" Kain yelled as his saber shot out of his core's left arm, taking the enemy's off.
"LET'S DO IT!" Blitz yells, right before getting shot in the arm, taking it off. "GAH!"
"Blitz!"
"Life signs still satisfactory, he is still able to pilot"
"Thanks Drew, but I didn't really care!" Kain yelled, firing a slew of rockets at an enemy mech.
"Initiating attack" Drew said, jumping into the air and hovering above the enemy, firing his flame-thrower nonstop at one enemy, and quickly running out of energy and ammo. "This is not a good sign."
"BLITZ! WATCH OUT!" Kain yelled, though not soon enough for Blitz to move before his other arm, his second of three ways to attack, got removed by a perfectly placed hand rocket. "YOU BASTARD! DIE!" Kain turned to the one who blasted off Blitz's second arm, and slices the core's head unit off, disabling the core. "ha!"
"great, now I just got these pieces of crap on my side!" Blitz screams, switching to his small missiles. Those were promptly destroyed as well, but not before taking out at least five of the enemy cores. "DAMNIT! No weapons remaining, core disabled. It's up to you now, Kain and Drew"
"This will prove to be quite a challenge, considering I have no way to attack as of now."
"grrr...that's it...DIE" Kain yelled at the enemy before firing off the last of his hand rockets, each hitting their marks on three of the six enemies, taking them out. "great...now I just got THESE!" Kain exclaims, preparing to fire his Multi Warhead missiles, but they backfire on him, disabling his core. "shiii..."
"unable to detect presence of life in either core, this is not good" Drew says, mostly to himself, as he backs away from the enemies, all three that are remaining. "HELP!"

Drew, running low on armor, wishes they had dispatched a fourth pilot with them to help if this were to happen, because he knew the money was fake. No sooner had he started praying that he'd be spared did a swarm of multi warhead missiles hit two of the enemies. Drew turned to see who had saved him, and saw a core he had never seen before. While trying to figure out who it was, the mystery person switched to a sniper rifle and took out the remaining core. "Who is that? He wasn't part of our mission." Drew asked himself. The unknown core kneeled down next to Kain's core and carefully opened it.
"Hey...are you alright?"
'a woman's voice?' Drew thought
"Please wake up"
'Again...there's a girl in that core'
"Wh...whaaa..." Kain groaned, starting to regain consciousness
"Are you alright? You there, check on the other pilot!"
"Umm...yes ma'am" Drew says as his core walks towards Blitz
"Oww...it hurts...the pain..."
"Shh...it's alright now, you're safe"
"Who are you? Are you an angel?"
The mysterious pilot giggles at the question. "I can be your angel if you want me to be, handsome"
"Lucky Kain...why does the world revolve around him?" blitz asks as he wakes up and his core opens
"You are asking me? I do not know why the world revolves around him."
"How COULD you know? You're almost like an android!"

After a while of argumentation, Kain and Blitz were carried away by the mystery pilot and Drew, respectively, to the HQ. The commander called Kain into her office. "Yes commander Kiba?"
"I guess you three were the right ones to send on this mission"
"But we didn't..."
"Shh...I know what you three did, and you saved our HQ. Now I'll give you your pay" Megami said, walking seductively towards Kain.
"Commander, this isn't right! What if we get caught?"
"Who will catch us in my office?" she asks him, her voice enough to almost melt him. Luckily for Kain, someone just happened to throw open the door and storm in.
"COMMANDER KIBA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH KAIN?!?!?!" yelled a girl, quite a beautiful one at that, Kain had never seen before. "AND WHAT WERE YOU THINKING SENDING THEM OUT, JUST THREE OF THEM, AGAINST TWELVE ROUGES?!?!?! DID YOU THINK THEY COULD ACTUALLY WIN?!?!"
"But they DID win, or else Kain wouldn't be here right now."
"They didn't win on their own...I took Yoru and saved their asses! If it wasn't for ME, they'd BE DEAD!"
"MIRUKU! YOU WERE NOT ORDERED TO GO OUT IN YOUR CORE!"
"If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be ABLE to even TRY to SEDUCE KAIN!"
"Girls, girls, can't you argue later?"
"Good idea Kain, let's go have dinner somewhere and talk for a while"
"Alright...Miruku, right?"
"that's right, let's go Kain" she takes his arm and practically drags him away and out of the HQ to go to dinner with him
