Chapter Nine: The Disorder's Call
Rel walked through the dim lighted stone hallways beneath Falna Crater, his
armored core walking slowly, each step echoing down the hall, the sound of
scurrying disorder units all around him. As a door in front of him slowly
opened, his muscles became tense. He stared into a room filled with
disorder units, his armored core's overboost systems in preparation. As he
flew over the tops of the unmanned units, the vile creations looked up at
it, firing shots at random. As the shots drilled into the top of the stone
ceiling, Rel ran his armored core out of the room, piece of dirt falling
from the corner of the, as the ceiling came crashing down, crushing the
disorder units. "That was way to close." Rel continued down the next hall
way, as he had for the last hour, without once firing a shot. The ground
shook with each step of his AC, the dust being lifted into the air in a
ripple around his feet. His armored core, Ice Man, held a machine gun in
its right arm and on the left held a moonlight.
He stepped into the next, seemingly empty room, except small pods to his right. As he walked through the room, his curiosity got the better of him as he examined the pods. He stared at the pods, their contaminants covered up by dust and a fog inside the tube itself. Then he rammed himself into his chair as he released what was inside them. Armored Cores. They where painted to appear as if they had been splashed with blood, although they had long ago rusted over, and know had a brownish tint. "What's going one here? Armored Cores? Why? What?" Daniel spoke to himself as he stepped out the door. Again there was an empty hallway. We walked down the hall, still ever slowly. He listened carefully, as each with each step; he heard the sound of something cracking. He looked down at the floor, noticing a green rot. He gulped as he continued, an explosion coming from his left as a different disorder unit burst through the wall. Another came in from the right, as he thrust back to the end of the hall, the floor breaking apart, as both the disorder unit and him fell to a room below.
They landed on a small island in the center of a lava pool, hundreds of disorder units of all different kinds cocooned into the wall. Rel did not have long to admire the site, as he fought the two disorder units. They were tall and skinny, and for arms, they have weapons similar to that of what some armored core use, nicknamed the 'samurai' arms. Rel thrust to the left as one of the units slashed by him, his machine gun firing round after round into the unmanned killer's side, as the second one ran its blades across the Ice King's back. Rel circled the first one as the second tried to chase him, Rel closing in, for a slash with his moonlight. The first disorder unit tried to get out of his circle of death, but it burst into flames, exploding almost a second later.
Then, Rel only had one more enemy to worry about, as he was slashed again across the back, his AC knelling to the ground as a chain gun armed itself. He fired shot after shot, trailing the advanced disorder unit as it leaped into the air, closing in for a blade slice. As it came closer to him, he grinned, his moonlight charging up as the disorder landed, the chain gun flipping back over onto his back, the blade slicing the unit in half.
Rel stood in front of the burning unit, looking up at his target. It was a stone globe standing atop of a cylinder. This had proven to be what was control the disorder units, as his armored core thruster lifted him into the air. Rel flinched as his blade sliced through the side of the ball, landing on the other side of it. The control mechanism sparked twice, as it shot of a flare, exploding into a small ball of light. "Mission complete, looks like I will manage to go home." Rel laughed to himself as he thought about how nervous he had been about this mission before hand. Then he looked up as the earth around him began to shake, three huge boulders falling from the ceiling above him, sealing the hole through which he came through. "What! No!" Rel screamed as he fired his weapons at the three stones, hoping to blast through them. He screamed as the ground shook again, hundreds of thousand of disorder units crawling out of the walls around him.
They climbed up around the ceiling and through the lava pit, sacrificing themselves as they made a bridge to the island. "What the heck are these things?" Rel screamed again, as his armored core was covered with the tiny disorders, watching his armor rapidly burn away. Then he looked at the walls again. He could seem something etched in now. In his horror, he found a picture of a massive disorder unit he had heard of during the Mars Civil Commotion, some calling it Leos Klien's final weapon. "I get it now. This was part of Sephiroth's plan all long. He knew something was going to happen like this. Or maybe..." Rel nodded his head again, as his armored core burst into flames.
