Chapter Four: Wicked City
The arena. A cold area of combat where escape is impossible, and it is
killed or be killed. This is life as a Raven.
The battle arena felt empty except for a man standing in the center of this holy ground. Flashbacks of his past battles ran through his mind in there, as a person stepped up to him. "Leos, it's getting late, you should go to sleep."
As Leos laid into his bed, the sound of people still running about outside his room was still as loud as it was during the afternoon. As Leos laid into his bed, the sound of people still running about outside his room was still as loud as it was during the afternoon. Suddenly an alarmed sounded as an explosion rocketed from the arena. Leos suddenly shot up as someone burst through his door open. "Raven, get up, their here, the New Age Frighteners are here!" The man yelling at Leos was another pilot named Jinzou. At the arena, Sephiroth and his lackeys had blasted a hole into the roof of the arena, as three Armored Cores and ten Muscle Tracers fell with the rain through the air to the stone ground of the arena. An AC thrust from the sides of the Arena, its pilot the special plus pilot Evion.
"Leon, you get that rookie, he shouldn't be too much of a problem for your, skills. Matthais, you go after the target, I'll support the Muscle Tracers." Sephiroth sat in the cockpit of "Leon, you get that rookie, he shouldn't be too much of a problem for your, skills. Matthais, you go after the target, I'll support the Muscle Tracers." Sephiroth sat in the cockpit of masterpiece AC, Kiss the World Good-bye, barking orders to his comrades.
"Sounds like a plan." Leon, lowered his head as he spat at his comment, the overboost systems readying themselves on the back on his AC, Phobos' Disorder. Out of the blue, an Armored Core rammed into Leon's side as he began his overboost. The AC was the Collision MK II, the AC piloted by a man going by the name Collider.
"So, you must be Leon." "You're the one who raped that woman." Collider scoffed the pilot of the Frightener AC, as his combat situation increased in danger, he and Evion "So, you must be Leon. You're the one who raped that woman." Collider scoffed the pilot at the Frightener AC, as his combat situation increased in danger, he and Evion fighting Leon at full force yet to no avail. "I don't know what you're talking about!" Leon yelled to the pilot as his blade skimmed the side of the Collision, but he knew what his enemy was talking about in the back of his mind. Evion thrust towards his opponent as Leon lifted into the air, looking down on his enemies, his missiles gaining a lock onto Collider. As Collider's AC moved gracefully between the barrages of missiles, his muscles began to tighten, as a missile struck down on to the AC. "Damnit, the drugs, there wearying off!"
Jinzou's armored core Biohazard stepped through the hall ways of the arena, approaching the main battle dome, he look curiously at the burning Armored Cores. Jinzou's armored core Biohazard stepped through the hall ways of the arena, approaching the main battle dome, he look curiously at the burning Armored Cores. When he came upon one still activated. It was Heaven's Fist, piloted by a Raven known as Vagrant Savior. "Zauf, Zauf are you all right?"
The cyborg pilot screamed at the man through his comm., a bit of static coming through before the man answered. "Yeah, yeah, I'm all right. But, but the Angel of Death, Samuel, he is coming, he is coming!" Jinzou look at the armored core strangely, as a shot ringed out from down the hall. An explosion burnt its way through the armor of Heaven's Fist, Biohazard thrusting away from it.
There at the end of the hall stood an Armored Core colored black as night, except for a blood red core. It was armed with a laser blade and the armed grenade rifle, and on its shoulders laid the pursuit missiles. Its extensions were that of the antimissile lasers. The pilot was Matthais. "My missions complete, get out of my way." Matthais fired another shot at Jinzou, the middle weight AC's overboost abilities charging up, flying past the grenade shot, his hand missiles ready to fire up close.
"What, no?!" Matthais screamed as he dashed back, his antimissiles taking out the attack. But before Matthais could react, he found himself staring down the laser cannon. One shot ringed out, knocking off the angel of death's head. In a slip second, Samuel was overboosting past Biohazard down the corridor to the arena.
"Arg!" Neo Sandman screamed as his AC burst into flames, Sephiroth's AC lowering to the ground, his Karasawa still burning with energy. Suddenly, a duo of armored cor "Shit!" Neo Sandman screamed as his AC burst into flames, Sephiroth's AC lowering to the ground, his Karasawa still burning with energy. Suddenly, a duo of armored core burst down from above him. "Hey Philadelphia, lets keep this quick, I'm getting sick of this guy." Leos scoffed at the guy, his armored core Arch-Angel landing hard on the ground in front of KTWGB "For the last time, my name is Daniel, not Philly, that's my AC! Got that Leos?"
The Philly II rushed towards KTWGB, its laser cannon arms firing of a triplet of shots, one only skimming the side of Sephiroth's AC, the other just barely missing Arch-Angel. The Philly II rushed towards KTWGB, its laser cannon arms firing of a triplet of shots, one only skimming the side of Sephiroth's AC, the other just barely missing Arch-Angel. "Eh, watch!" Leos screamed towards his buddy, but before he could say anymore, he was interrupted by Daniel. Daniel was hit in the back by a quadruplet of missiles from Sephiroth's IMU. Leos spun around Philly and nailed KTWGB in the chest with a laser blade attack, only to be dazed by one of Sephiroth's own moonlight shots.' Only staled for a moment, Leos circled the black plow AC, firing off his MG- SAW. Suddenly, he found himself kissing the pipe of a rocket launcher. The bulb of fire shot out the grenade rifle, sending the Arch-Angel back into a wall. "I don't have time for this." Sephiroth grunted out as he blasted into the sky and out of the dome.
Leon and Evion continued to battle each other across the arena, as a stray shot from Leon's green rifle struck the arena's glass roof, causing in to shatter, the glass Leon and Evion continued to battle each other across the arena, as a stray shot from Leon's green rifle struck the arena's glass roof, causing in to shatter, the glass falling and breaking on the ground. The rain drenched the Armored Cores, their steel shimmering in the light. They both burst from the ground, their weapons both out of ammo. They tossed their weapons to the ground, standing on the railing which once held up the roof. An alarm ringed through the arena, as hundreds of people still ran from the arena, the news that Matthais had planted bombs finally being revealed to the populace.
"Your good Raven, but as you can tell, I'm better." Leon taunted his enemy, hoping to get inside his head. Both AC's boosters lit up as they rocket towards each other, both striking with a blade as they dashed to the building around. Like strikes of lightning, they jumped from building to building, avoiding each others attacks, their blades lighting up the sky. Evion knew no normal human could have lasted this long, as he landed a strike on his enemies waist, both Armored Cores hitting each other above the center of the arena. There had to be something different about this man.
Back in the arena, Collider's Collision MK II was soaked with rain, the pilot shuffling through his console. "Where is it, I need it, I must have it!" Collider's scream Back in the arena, Collider's Collision MK II was soaked with rain, the pilot shuffling through his console. "Where is it, I need it, I must have it!" Collider's screams echoed through his head, as he picked up a small needle, and a vial of green liquid. He stuck the needle into the vial and took in some of the liquid. There, he placed the needle to his eye, and sprayed into his eye, as a shot shock his AC, the needle plunging into his eye but he left it unnoticed. "Heheheheh, hahahahaha." Collider's screams were filled with insanity, as he overboost into the sky, landing between Evion and Leon, where he stopped for a second.
"Collider go boom." He spoke to himself, as the Collision exploded into a bright white light, sending the Armored Cores into the sides of buildings.
"Leon, our objective is complete, get out of there, now!" Sephiroth screamed through his comm, his allie still wishing to deal with his enemy. "All right, but later. You here me Raven, I'll make sure I finish you off." Leon smirked as he made his comment to his enemy, overboosting off into the sky. Leos and Daniel ran off in the opposite direction of the arena, Evion being left on the roof of the building, watching the arena instantly going up into flame. In a second which spanned forever, he watched the arena burst into a yellow light, watching the once great building crumble to the ground. Then he was left their alone, in front of a ruined home. "Come back here, Frightener. Collider, I'm sorry."
