"Your making a real habit out of this." It was the nurse in a sarcastic tone. "Heh heh heh...oowwww. My heads killin me." "You left that match before I could tell you that you had a concussion. I don't know how you could even see the opponent." It doesn't matter my AC's head was damaged. All visuals were down. I couldn't see anything. Not even out of the core...hmm." "Your AC's head had nothing to do with it. You had a pretty bad concussion. You shouldn't pilot that AC for a while. Not that you could. It's pretty damn wrecked. Your lucky arena battles are free. Even your mission couldn't pay for the replacement arms, and all those repairs.
"Hey lady!" "What?" "You're a mechanic aren't you. "No, not that at all. I'm a Raven. I'm an AC field medic. I know my AC because I gotta do some on field AC repairs. Well I think it's ok for you to go back to your room.
"The nurse is a Raven. That's cool. All the hospital workers on Earth always yell at me. They ask me why I have to go and get hurt just for cash. Even I don't know why." I made it back to my room. I had been asleep for a day and a half. The repairs on my AC were almost done. Thats when I got a mail from the arena owner. I decided to read it. It said: "Hey good job in the arena. As soon as your repairs are done I got a mission for you. I used to be the CEO of a Martian parts company called Blitzkrieg. We are now reduced to nothing but a small base with one AC part prototype. Check your mission terminal for more info. I hope to see more of you soon."
I walked over to my terminal and checked for missions. Just like that CEO said. A mission from Blitzkrieg. It paid 50,000 credits. And 10,000 in advance. I checked it out. The automated message began: "Blitzkrieg, a once very wealthy corporation, has been reduced to one AC prototype part. We would like you to protect it at all costs. The entrance is next to a mountain side and sealed with a rare and very powerful material. In front of it is a wall with 10 grenade gun emplacements. It is know that there will be an attack on this wall, so that a small group of scientists in mobile suits can direct a construction MT into the lab and steal the part. The only defense inside the lab are 6 scientists in mobile suits and 2 construction MTs. We would like you to defend against the oncoming attack. Good luck Raven."
No more was needed to say. I hit accept. Then launch sortie. My AC's repairs should be complete by now. I went into the garage. My mission started at 3:00. It was 2:15 now. The repairs were finished as I thought. They just had to get the generator started. I sat there and looked at my machine as power was restored. It was amazing. A heavy tank with great defense and great offense. I was never into speed. I let my weapons do the talking. Power was restored. I again crawled into my AC. I started all systems. Then I hit Over Boost and traveled across the red Martian surface. My defense target was less than 100 miles away. I would be there in a few seconds.
I looked at the defense target. Nothing but a wall. I was alone. Supported only by those 10 gun emplacements. Something came up on my radar. 4 stealth MTs were heading my way. I locked on with my missile launcher. "I got a missile for each on of you." I fired off the missiles, the first hit the MT in the leg, causing it to fall. As it fell another missile hit the cock-pit. The third and fourth missiles found there way to the core and the head of another MT, causing him to blow up, shrapnel flying everywhere. Some of it hit another MT in the leg. It was barely walking. I took the moment to bring down my grenade launcher and fire off a shot at the MT. It was hit directly, blowing the upper half up while the legs just stood there.
I didn't see the last MT anywhere. It wasn't on my radar. It must have some FCS jamming equipment. I brought down my slug gun. I was shot from the side. I saw the MT. It was trying to shoot a hole in the wall protecting the underground base. It's weapons couldn't destroy that wall. Not even my weapons could destroy it. To save ammo I just walked over to the MT and crushed his head in my AC's heavy hands.
A blip appeared on my radar. Then another. Then another. Soon my radar was fool of tiny blips. They were sending in a fleet of jets and heli-copters. I counted 3 jets and 9 heli-copters. "Fun." The jets were there to kill me, while the heli-copters used their machine guns and their rockets to destroy the wall. The jets flew by with their first wave of missiles. I shot down one jet with my slug gun. Two missiles came at me. I raised my shield and blocked one, and then dodged another.
Then the heli-copters reached me. six attacked the wall, while the other three attacked me. The gun emplacements managed to destroy two heli-copters. I shot down another two that were closed to each other with one shot of my slug gun, thanks to it's wide spread. A gun emplacement was hit by a rocket that went right down it's barrel and blew it up from the inside out. The explosion blew up the heli-copter that shot it. The next heli-copter stopped to shoot me, I simply boosted up and punched it to the ground.
This left three heli-copters attacking the wall. Another was shot by the gun emplacement, sending it spiraling to the ground in a ball of flames. The jets were flying by again. I used my grenade launcher to shoot one down. The jet flew by but I shot two missiles at it. It was doing good at avoiding them. Dodged both but flew right into the mountain side embedding itself into it. "All enemy resistance destroyed...Incoming Message From AC Heat Seeker: Nice job Raven, you destroyed some MTs. Wow. Now you'll have to go against me. I'm gonna make you wish that those MT had killed you." "Wow that guy is cocky." Then I saw him. He was a hover, he had HECTO rockets, a triple rocket launcher, a HG-80 high heat handgun, and a flamethrower. He could probably over heat me in a few seconds.
He started by shooting his tri rockets at me which I dodged with ease. Since I lacked mobility he had gotten behind me and shot me with a HECTO large rocket. I backed off. I couldn't hit him with my grenade launcher. I switched to my missiles. He had an anti-missile lock-on Optional part, I only managed to hit him with one missile before I was forced to retreat again. Then I had an Idea. I fired my grenade launcher wildly, causing the area to fill up with smoke. I then boosted behind the gun emplacement that had been blown up. I put my grenade launcher in the same position as the gun was in. He couldn't tell the difference between me and the gun emplacements. He started to fire off his Hectos in every direction, destroying many gun emplacements. "Sorry buddy, missed one" "Wha!? AHHHHHHHH!!! I had shot him in the core. It was a light weight. Since it was damaged by the missiles slightly, and the gun emplacments, the grenade shell made it through the light-weight core. Blood was spread, staining the lush, jungle area which we were in.
"Mission Complete...incoming message from Blitzkrieg. We need your help. A high-speed jet has escaped from our base. We would like you to destroy it. I saw it on my radar. It flew by me soo fast. I couldn't see it. I Over Boosted away from it. It was flowing me shooting of high-speed rifle rounds, each one hitting their target...me. I had no way to attack it. Then I knew what to do. It couldn't stop at that kind of speed. I dropped an ECM pod and the jet flew into it. I did it again. It was starting to spark. Then it got used to my attack. I had to hit it somehow. I was in the red on my energy bar, down to 8%. I jettisoned all of my weapons at once. It couldn't maneuver much at that speed and stay stable. It hit my grenade launcher and exploded. The other weapons falling on top of it.
"Jet is destroyed...good job Raven." I took the time to once again collect and re-equip all of my weapons. My tread was ripped off and I was out of energy. I slowly dragged my AC along the Martain desert with my one tread. Just then I saw the space-dome. It was under attack...
"Hey lady!" "What?" "You're a mechanic aren't you. "No, not that at all. I'm a Raven. I'm an AC field medic. I know my AC because I gotta do some on field AC repairs. Well I think it's ok for you to go back to your room.
