Chapter 2: Enter the "Blue Fury"

"Hey you!" an abrupt voice interrupted the train of thought of a brown haired man. The man lifted his head to see a girl whoes age ranged from 19-20. She had jet-black hair and distinguishable blue eyes. Wearing the standard Raven jacket that was white with a white skirt that went down to her knees. "Ummmmm...I'm kinda new could you please tell me where the Arena registration booth is?"

"Down the right to your left. Take a right turn on the second stop then you'll see it," the man replied coldly. He had a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek. He wore a black Raven's jacket with a white shirt and a pair of black jeans. His right arm was bandaged up to the elbow.

"Okay! Thanks a lot!" the girl replied. Didn't have to sound so cold! she thought to herself and skidded off in the direction the man pointed to.

Hmph! What a nuiseance. It's always like this, some newb comes in all jolly and thinks it's fun and games...well, she's gonna learn the hard way how fun it is! The man thought to himself. He stood up and started heading to the garage where his AC was docked.

All Ravens have their own unique purpose and story of why they were Ravens. Purposes that involved personal matters or family matters. But, this Raven was different, his reason was...to stay alive. His real name was Kurata Myogasu better known as, Windbreaker in the Ravens Ark. To his opponents, however, he was known as "The Blue Fury". His main objective is unclear, however, staying alive was a means neccessary to complete objectives. He refuses to reveal his history to the Ravens Ark and any relationship he had or any family matters he had. The scar he bears on his left cheek and his injured right arm is rumored to have been left by a war which almost lead to another "Great Destruction". The only way that he ever managed to be a Raven in the Ravens Ark was his superior skills in piloting an AC. He rose in rank and became second place in only two months after he joined. Most people believe he could out match the Nine Breaker.

After Windbreaker maintenance with his AC, Omen, he went to the front lobby where a beautiful girl of 20 with blonde hair in a black secretary uniform was sitting and calling out commands through her headphones. It was when he was leaning on the table that she took notice and put her headphones down. "Oh! Wind! What brings here?" her voice had that tone which made her that much more sexy.

"Hmmm...I was going to ask you that question, Karen. You asked me to come down here...so...what is it you want?" He asked simply in his monotonist voice.

"Oh Right! Theres a special request they want to make for you...it's about assaulting a Kisaragi excavation base. You'll also be accompanied by another Raven, though I don't know who it is right now. The request was made by Crest and Mirage as a joint operation."

"Crest and Mirage in a joint operation against Kisaragi? Hmmmm...that's strange...in a case like this they would usually go separate ways even though their objectives would be the same. Hell! They'd rather die than work with eachother...something strange must be going on...and the enemy units?"

"Frankly...their pretty much unknown."

"Strange..."

"What?"

"If it was only an excavation site then Mirage and Crest with all their power put together could trounce Kisaragi...but to not even have data on the enemy forces...something strange must be going on! Wheres the location?"

"Fenris Dome."

"That old thing...why would Kisaragi excavate there...theres nothing even there...if there even was the nukes that Mirage launched on Crest would have destroyed em! What the hell? I don't know if I should go...I have next to no clue what I'm up against."

"Their paying twenty million creds," She raised her brow and smiled in amusement.

Windbreaker stopped dead at those words, "T-twenty million creds?...errr...ughhhh...fine! I accept!"

In a moment or so, Windbreaker was at the site that was instructed. Inside of the dome he also met another Raven called Stingback, he was a corporate Raven and one of Mirage's ace pilots as well. "Well, well, I knew I'd be working with an Elite Raven but I never expected the Windbreaker! It's quite a pleasure to meet you. I've heard many of the great deeds you've done for Mirage and I'm most impressed." Stingback had a British accent combined with a bit of Scottish.

"Save it!" Windbreaker said coldly, "We'll talk later...right now we have a job to do right?"

"Of course!"

An hour of searching the large dome was completed and nothing was found. Not even Kisaragi units were in sight. "Hmmm...that's strange...theres nothing in sight. We should report back to base about thi-AUGHHHHH!" Stingback was cut off when his whole AC was split in two what appeard to be a Moonlight blade through the rear.

"Well...this is a surprise...when I heard that the corporations sent reinforcements I had not expected the great Windbreaker!" a gruff voice on the intercom spoke.

The explosion hardly even phased Windbreaker. "Who are you?"

"You may not remember me but I remember you all too well..."

"We've...met before?"

"Have we met before?...you'll find that out soon!" The black AC infront of him raised it's laser rifle and started firing. Omen was quick and strafe boosted to the right and returned fire using it's linear rifle. The black machine boosted back to avoid a contact and fired it's Spartoi back unit. Omen jumped to the left to escape the impact and boosted straight at the the black AC with it's Moonlight open. The black AC crossed blades with it's Moonlight. Both machines were struggling to overpower the other but neither seemed to falter, "Well...it looks to be a stalemate. I'd love to finish this off but time is a wasting. Remember me well, my name is Enigma!" With that the black AC disengaged and boosted upwards making a hole in the dome glass and escaping through it. Reporting back to the Mirage and Crest forces stationed on the outskirts of the area, Windbreaker explained everything that happened. Luckily, it was considered a job done, even if no Kisaragi forces were blown up. Making his way back to Ravens Ark he was informed that his Arena match was close. Windbreaker docked Omen in the Arena transfer tunnel where ACs and pilots were transferred to the Arena.The door slid open revealing a dark blue AC with glowing laser eye of Queen. It had a new set of arms that could increase speed ability phenomenally. Stepping out onto the marker ring of the Arena with the crowd behind the glass cheering for either side Windbreaker was ready to face his opponent with unbreakable confidence. On the opposite side he could see a Red AC lightweight equiped with a sniper rifle and a left arm grenade rifle. All right, Crimson Tear! Let's see what your made of! Omen charged straight at Crimson Tear with great speed. All Windbreaker could hope for a was a worthy enough adversary this time...this time.
