A/N: Thanks for all of the review! Oh by the way… From here on out a lot of AC designs with be feature, and if you so wish for the part list of any AC E-mail me with a request. Remember most all ACs with be from Nexus though, and a few from previous title and a few from Nine Breaker.

Debriefing2: Case file1: "Test Result Concerns"

It has come to my Attention that Instructors Albion's methods are absurd! These are students and should be taught by safer means. The Academy should make better use of the AC simulators. WE have enough for any exercise Instructor Albion could cook up.

I also find putting such skilled minds as Azriel or Nixie (HP-01 and #89) at risk is most troubling. The two are quite skilled at AC design. They have solved such problems as the overheating issue most of the students can't get past. Their ACs show greater levels of performance thensome of Raven's Ark ACs.

If either of them, or other of my prized students were to somehow damage their minds- well I shudder at the thought! Now it would be an improvement for a student Like InuAcosta! (Hp-03)

Debriefing2: Casefile2: "Field Report"

The exercise has shown some very satisfactory work. The HP (Human Plus) students on the most part have set clear targets, and are effectively executing their plans. We have also notice students who would make prime subject for the HP (Human Plus)program. A follow up report after the conclusion of the Exam will list those candidates.

Chatper2: Sorrows of the Battlefield

Team-Zeta

The three ACs that Arebra sent to attack Team-Sigma's base were recalled. Arebra was setting her plan in motion, and Denny wasn't following orders. She decided to force teams Alpha and Sigma into a direct battle with Team-Beta.

"This is how were gonna get things done. Numbers 55 and 32 are going to lure out team-Alpha. I know Azriel won't resist a chance for direct battle. I want you to get them to follow you into the center of the city were Team-Beta is."

Hiroshi thought it over. "Roger."

Number the 32, Canden also confirmed. "Roger."

The pair then started out to Team-Alpha's turf. It was an easy enough plan. Just lure them out of their holes.

"Now numbers 14, 83, and 90. You are heading over and cut off team-Sigma. Force them to follow you. Inu is foolish and will engage. Try your best to avoid fire. Lead them also Team-Beta's base."

Wenni, Naiya and Orsin confirmed and took off to intercept Team-Sigma.

"Finally you number 9. You are to defend the base. That is all."

Team-Sigma

Inu had had enough. He was down one AC, and most of his defenses. "Ok this is the plan #44. Return to base and await further instruction."

Emiko (#44) was leading the remains of Team-Sigma back to base. Everything seemed to be going good, or course that all change as Arebra group came into range.

"All units prepare to intercept the targets. All units engage the enemy ACs." Wenni had made herself the leader, and no one objected. Canden and Orsin took up position to either side of Wenni's AC.

Team-Sigma was unaware of the incoming targets due to radar failure. This was a problem that had been common throughout the exercise. It flickered on and off. To their luck the radar came back just in time for Emiko to notice the incoming enemy ACs.

"All units assume evasive maneuvers! WE got hostile forces coming in from the east."

All five ACs broke formation a prepared to engage the targets.

Wenni began the angling "Shit! Were need to get them to follow us! Orsin start sniping."

Orsin (#90) was equipped with a sniper rifle and started to fire at random ACs. He was aiming to hit but to get them moving. To his enjoyment he got three to fall back.

Team-Zeta's ACs was now in range to effectively engage their target. Sigma had already begun to fall back, and all Zeta had to do is keep the pressure going.

"All units fall back. We need to conserve ammo. Follow me." Emiko started leading her team in the direction that Team-Zeta intended them to. All things were falling into Arebra's plans perfectly.

Team-Alpha

"Ok troops! This is the plan. My sensors have picked up enemy units approaching. The name of the game is 'follow the leader'. Squad-A and Squad-B are to engage the targets. Let them lead you. I also want Squad-C to also pursue the target, but only as far as your rifles can shoot."

Hiroshi and Naiya closed in on Team-Alpha. It seemed at this time full lock-on were more then capable. The two switched to missiles and began to open fire on Squad-A.

Azriel on his senor strangulated the targets and order his team to move. Both Squad-A and Squad-B reacted as soon as there orders were in.

Hiroshi was surprised at how easy it was to get them to follow, but Arebra's plan was working, and that was all he needed to know. He and Naiya began leading them into Arebra's trap.

Instructor Albion

Albion was an older man. His hair was white and he was well built. He wore a white shirt with the sleeve torn off, with a forest green vest over it. On the back was an emblem. It was a white horses head with blue mane. He wore camouflage pants and black boots.

Albion was sitting at a desk, and was viewing the action from a monitor at the Academy not too far from the area of operation.

Albion was selected to be a combat instructor because of his arena record. He had been in only thirteen matches, but had never lost a single match, most of those fight were against Raven's of real skill.

"This is too rich. That Acosta has screwed up big time!" He was laughing so load it echoed through the room.

See Albion has a strong dislike for InuAcosta. This is because of how poor he does and still made the Human Plus program, and in addition Inu always does something stupid. He believe Inu to be incompetent.

Team-Beta

Arious noticed something odd on her sensors. "Multiple enemy units approaching!" She checks all her sensor and got an exact fix. "Team-Alpha from the north, and Team-Sigma from the west! Engage the enemy!"

Herald (#3) was the first out the gate. "Finally! Some action. This was getting dull."

"Like you wouldn't believe Herald." Replied Nixie (#89). She was right behind him with the auto MTs, and the rest of the team.

Emiko finally got what was happening, and she agreed. A massive battle is way to end this exercise. "All units assume the missile formation. Were gonna enter the fray with style."

All of Team-Sigma got into a straight line behind Emiko and change their weapon's to missile pods. They all focused in on a single target on Team-Beta's, Herald.

As all the ACs approached Team-Beta's base, Team-Zeta began to break off and regroup. Arebra's plan had worked thus far, and the only thing left was to win the battle. They decided to wait a bit and take Team-Beta's base while they engaged Teams Alpha, and Sigma.

The members of Team-Alpha were itching for a fight and jumped in. Squad-C provided cover for the rest of the team.

Squad-A were intercepted by two of Beta's bladers. They engaged the ACs piloted by Lavina (#71) and Bowdon (#29). The two ACs boost at Helosise and Kale with blades ignited.

Kale quickly boosted back as Lavina's blade was swung, but Lavina continued to slash leaving Kale on the defensive. He was boosting too much and his AC was heating up! Kale did the only thing he could think of. He boosted up and over Lavina's AC, and fired his rifle shots at Lavina's Blade. The shots were true to their mark and blasted off the blade.

Lavina was pissed! She was now forced to use her machine gun. She began to turn as to start unloading on Kale's AC, but he manages to duck behind a building to cool off.

Helosise had a different approach to the blader. She went blade-to-blade hit-for-hit! It seemed evenly match till Bowden boosted back and started to fire his hand gun.

In between Bowden's slashes he was taking pot shot at Helosise's AC's legs. This caused her AC's stability to go out the window. Each shot made it harder for her to even stand, and on top of that it seemed Bowden wasn't letting up on the slashes.

Then she was saved by orders of her operator Azriel. "Squad-C commence operation 'Fish in a Barrel.' Take aim in the area south west five blocks and to the right."

Helosise's AC was about to give when Bowden's AC was struck from behind. His AC lost its head and radar. Talk about fighting blind. He lost all external cameras and radar functions. Helosise took advantage of this, and slashed the left arm off Bowden's AC as she retreated.

Azriel had another set of orders he gave out. "Now squad-A proceed to move and meet up with squad-B. The meeting point is to the west of your current position ten blocks. Then commence operation 'Blow Out.' All units engage."

Emiko and her team split of as they simultaneously launched their missiles at Herald's AC. This was a flashy entrance into the battle that managed to seemingly go off without a problem.

Herald had six missiles incoming at him. His AC had no decoys and the built in interceptors could only do so much. He waited for the missiles were in range and boosted up into the air! He made a small circle as the missiles that weren't intercepted. Herald managed to evade all but two missiles.

"I'm hit! Need some help here, I've overheated. Cover me Nixie!" Herald started to move back behind the auto MTs.

Nixie's Ac was equipped with a pulse rifle. Her plan was to have been to fire and run, but with Herald behind her she had support and the two of them should be able to handle one AC.

Emiko boosted straight at Nixie with blade ready. Nixie fired a couple of pulse shot as Herald launched a missile. Emiko took the shots head one and swung at Nixie once in range. Nixie managed to boost back enough to avoid the slash, but not the fire that Emiko unleashed after the missed slash. Nixie was hit by the wave created as Emiko attacked! She was shook up a bit but by the time she could react Emiko let loose a couple of shots of her shotgun.

That was about all Herald could take from the rear. He boosted over a tackled Emiko's AC to the ground. In order to keep in control he dropped his rifle on the way over.

Things weren't looking well when Emiko got a communication. "Umm…My sensors tell me our base has been capture. We…Failed. Cease operation and return to the Academy, and by the way Raisa is already here."

This didn't set well with Emiko. She failed, and now had to retreat. "Herald get off me! My team has failed. I'm to report back to the Academy."

Herald got his AC off of her and went back to retrieve his rifle when he got a communication from Arious. "That enough troops. Pack it up and return to the Academy. Team-Beta has failed to defend their base." Herald looked over to see most of Team-Alpha. He began the trip back to the Academy.

Only two teams remained, and neither one was about to give up till Team-Alpha's operator came on the line. "WE are under attack by a single AC. All units return to base and…Forget it were out…All units return to the Academy."

In the end Arebra won it all, but she never gave Denny the command to take Team-Alpha's base, but it all worked out in the end for her team.

At the Academy

Emiko had been true to her words. She and the rest of Team-Sigma had tracked him down and he was dragged through the halls. He was trying to grab onto any thing to keep from being hung. It wasn't long before he was hanging in the AC garage by his thumbs! They also took his game and tied it a few feet out of his reach. In addition his pants had fallen off while swing his legs to grab the game. So he was trying to get the game, with all the students, and instructors watching him.

Inu was eventually let down before his thumbs snapped off. He didn't like that slice of humiliation and believed it to be cruel, not the thumb thing but the game part. He truly loved his video games over his own safety.

The Next Day

The Human Plus student were told to re-fit their ACs with overboost cores, and to report to the obstacle course to meet Instructor Spaz for overboost training.

Instructor Spaz had to be the only instructor that like Inu. Spaz had a thing for highspeeds and Inu broke the Academy G-Force record four times! They had to install a new chair to get it to go faster.

Instructor Spaz was infamous for his AC's speed. It boasted the highest overboost of any AC around. His Ac was only equipped with a right arm high power machine gun and a left arm grenade rifle. He used modified high output boosters with duel back mounted boosters. His AC was also tuned to be light.
