Ah hello I'm back! If you can resist throwing stuff at me for that mini cliffhanger that would be great. It's time to see what lay in this hole.

"Hey Author you fucked up again" I smirked hearing the sounds of frustration coming from him.

'Just shut up and get to your supply drop before I break it' he growled.

With a chuckle I walked up to the edge of the pit and looked in, ignoring the look of confusion on Caroline's face.

Inside the pit lay a large robot, any lights on it I could only assume were either turned off or broken. On its back I could see something very familiar on there. It was then when it struck me on exactly what this was.

"That is a Titan" I muttered before sliding down the walls of the pit.

"A Titan? It is just a machine how couldst this be a Titan?" Caroline spoke up confused.

"This is from a different dimension. That's why" I replied laying my hands on the rusted metal.

It must of been here for a very long time as it had rusted over completely. Leaving only the lights free of rust. From the body structure I guessed this was Legion from Titanfall 2. My biggest hint was the chain gun on it's back and shoulders the size of a truck.

After managing to find the hatch I managed to pull it open, thanks to the power given to me by the link. Thankfully it did not try to shut itself as doubt I could of won that battle. Powers or not.

Looking inside lay the corpse of a pilot. Parts of their suit had rotted away revealing their skeleton that lay underneath. Carefully picking the corpse up I dropped down onto the floor before laying it down.

"Who ist that?" Caroline spoke up from the rim of the hole.

"I have no idea. A man or woman who died a long time ago. Their armour and Titan kept the skeleton in a good condition, but it is still damaged in various places" I replied before fiddling with various parts of the armour.

"What are you doing? Shouldn't we leave his corpse in peace?" She exclaimed.

"I'm taking what is salvageable then I'm going to bury him. If you want to help you can" I shrugged before continuing.

-five minuets later-

"Finally got this armour off them" I wiped my forehead from the sweat. Removing the armour is a lot harder than what I would of originally thought.

"I have also finished their new grave" Caroline replied and true enough she had, it was nothing special but it would do.

Gently picking the skeleton up I lay it to rest inside the shallow grave but before I could start putting the dirt back on Caroline stopped me.

"It wouldst be best if thee put on their armour first. It would show thee have inherited their armour. It would give his spirit rest knowing his equipment is in good hands" Caroline whispered in my ear.

With a nod I headed back to the armour and strapped what I could on me. My cargo pants I wore now had armour over the top of it, mainly over the shins and knees. I didn't want to risk putting the boots on. The chest piece I wore over my top but underneath my jacket, the jump kit sticking out from under the jacket. The rest went on my arms and hands so it was still me but now with the armour in various places.

Finally I reached the helmet and I paused, wiping the dirty visor so it would be easy to see before I put I on my head.

Slowly a blue light switched on inside it, allowing me to see out as various boxes appeared.

"Welcome Pilot [UNKNOWN]" it read at the top.

"This is both cool and scary" I muttered looking around wondering how many things from other games and dimensions were scattered around the place.

"Art thou alright?" Caroline asked getting my attention.

"Yeah I'm just allowing this to calibrate itself or something like that" I replied before noticing how tight this crotch plate was. I'm gonna need Nepgear to look at this when I get back.

[Connecting to Titan FH-11-5-13-09]

Uh that can't be good and I doubt there is a cancel button.

[Connected]

Oh shit.

Suddenly the Titan twitched before it slowly pulled itself upwards, joints screeching in protest at the movements.

"Pilot it has been 10,345 years since the incident. Are you al-" The Titan cut itself of as it noticed that I was not its original pilot. "Civilian I would advise you remove the armour of my pilot"

"Your pilot is dead" I replied pointing to the skeleton.

"Evidence... Correct" The Titan replied after what I could only assume was scanning the corpse. "Please may you still remove the armour and inform me of the direction of the nearest militia base"

"I can't do that either" I replied "You are... Not in that dimension anymore"

"Evidence... Correct. Air composition here is 10% better than before. No sign of militia or IMC input in this immediate area. No signal from any fleet" it listed off turning around slowly before looking back at me. "Who are you?"

"Thomas Fletcher, You're FH something or the other?"

"Affirmative. I am FH-11-5-13-09. Would you prefer to use a nickname to make it easier?"

"Yeah how bout Foxhound? Got the FH in it"

"Affirmative. New designation: Foxhound"

There was a pause as it turned to Caroline.

"This woman is armed"

"That is Caroline. She's an ally" I replied before an incident occurred. We didn't need to lose a party member over a misunderstanding.

"Confirmed. As you are currently in the possession of my previous pilots armour and the only viable option I have; you are now my new pilot until further notice" Foxhound announced. "We will need to link before we move"

"Uh sure how do we do this? Shake hands or something?" I chuckled before it held out a hand.

"You need to take up the pilot seat. Then more of my systems will unlock" Foxhound replied.

"Uh sure" jumping it its hand it slowly brought me up to the height where I could walk inside it.

After sitting on the seat the hatch slowly closed. It was dark at first before various green lights turned on as if they were scanning me before the front screen slowly allowed me to see outside although a few of the screens were just showing a black screen.

"Pilot it is advised that you go on foot as some of my external cameras have been damaged" a now masculine voice replied.

"Uh sure could you open the hatch?" I replied and as I finished speaking the hatch opened.

"Pilot do you approve of this new voice? I have been through your various memories and estimated that this voice you would request to hear instead" Foxhound replied "It is from a movie star and former governor called "Arnold Schwarzenegger"

"Oh hell yeah I approve of that" I replied climbing out and jumping down onto the floor.

"If I may interrupt we have to bury this person still" Caroline spoke up pointing at the skeleton.

"Pilot John Derline" Foxhound announced, gently pushing a small mound of dirt onto the Skelton burying him. "We had served together for two years exactly when the incident occurred"

"I'm sorry for your loss Foxhound" I patted it's leg. It was sort of impossible to reach his shoulder.

"Noted" came my neutral reply.

"Come we must get to the southern side of the forest to stop the evil witches captain" Caroline started before looking at me and Foxhound. "If you both go around the outside we can meet up before we start the attack"

"Gotcha we'll meet ya there" I gave a small wave as she disappeared into the forest.

"Pilot why shouldn't we follow behind her?" Foxhound asked as we began our journey around the edge of the forest.

"That's cuz she's a Druid and wouldn't be happy if we broke her trees. There is also this big tree which can talk and he probably wouldn't be happy if we tore up his forest too" I replied

"Noted, I shall endeavour to avoid destroying the trees in this area" Foxhound replied.

The conversation died down for a moment as we continued walking along, surprisingly enough there was no robots to fight.

"So what can this suit do? Is it invisibility or something?"

"No, the equipment my previous pilot preferred using a grappling hook to increase his combat efficiency by hooking onto walls and corners for a boost in agility and would often use it to swing a object around like a medieval flail to strike IMC forces if he was out of ammunition" Foxhound replied.

"What firearms did he use?" I asked interested in what I would have.

"Pilot John Derline preferred the Hemlock assault rifle and the Hammond semi automatic pistol. They are both currently in my hold if you require them but they are heavily rusted and require repairs"

"Nah it's fine I can survive but I do have a plan for them in a bit. How bout that chain gun you have does it still work?"

"Yes, the materials used in creating the predator cannon prevents rust from occurring" Foxhound replied "it's rounds are remade in the magazines when I attach them back onto my person. Therefore I cannot run out of ammunition"

"That's awesome" I grinned imagining Foxhound just firing away at a bunch of robot.

"Indeed" Foxhound replied "would you like a lift? You will be 15% less effective in combat if you are exhausted"

"Sure go for it" raising my arms up I felt Foxhound pick me up and put me on top of its head. "The view from here is amazing"

"Noted. We are approaching a unknown building soon. Estimated time of arrival five minuets" Foxhound replied.

"Do you think Caroline would have waited for us?" I asked leaving back slightly.

"Unknown. From memories of her she could stay behind and wait for us or she may attempt a preemptive strike against our foes without our assistance"

"Let's hope not eh? I guess you already know that I can generate weapons from energy right?"

"Affirmative, while at first it was surprising it seems like an invaluable skill in the field"

"Well I was thinking. If I could see those rifles he used I might be able to replicate them. Then you have something to remember John with"

"Affirmative. Do you wish for the weapons now pilot?"

"Sure it'll pass the time until we meet with Caroline"

Foxhound opened his hatch against and with the greatest of care pulled the rifle out first then the pistol.

"Thank you Foxhound" I replied slowly running my hands along the rifle to get an idea on its shape.

"Noted" Foxhound replied and we both fell silent for the rest of the journey.

-three minuets later-

"Pilot I would advise you go back on foot. We will soon be reaching the point of contact and she will most likely want to talk to you under the cover of the trees. Have you had any luck creating the firearms?"

"Nearly. The rifle is just on the edge so hopefully it won't be long until I can do it" I dropped down onto Foxhounds outstretched palm before landing onto the floor and jogging into the forest.

"Where is Corline?" I muttered looking around.

"I cannot detect any heat signatures in the forest but I can detect two of them closer to the building" Foxhound spoke over what I would assume was the radio.

"Gotcha. Here's hoping one of those are not Caroline" I replied making a bee line towards the building.

Wouldn't you know it one of those heat signatures was Caroline. Now I bet you didn't guess that the other was Annonydeath holding Caroline. If you say that you always knew then you sir/Madame/Apache attack helicopter lied.

"Now come on honey you cannot seriously think that you could stop me?" He chuckled in his usual fabulous way.

"Somehow he seems slightly more fabulous now that I get to see him in person" I muttered.

"Pilot if I can catch this unknown robotic by surprise I could easily knock it down allowing you time to save Caroline" Foxhound spoke up.

"Do you need me to distract this guy?" I asked watching as Mettato- I mean Annoydeath pulled a fabulous pose while still holding Caroline.

"It would increase the chances of this working. My motor joints in my legs are rusted so I cannot move at the same speed as I could before" Foxhound replied.

"Gotcha start moving now. One distraction coming up" I replied before stepping out of the tree line.

"I mean seriously darling you are just lacking in a fashion sense aren't you? Green this and green that. Even your robes, if I may call them that, are green and brown" Annonydeath said in disgust.

"These are my traditional druid clothing" Caroline growled "Thou art stepping on thin ice robot"

"Oh my the leaf as teeth" Annonydeath replied in fake shock before chuckling "honestly darling you are nothing compared to my darling Noire"

"Noire?" Caroline asked

"Yes the goddess of Lastation. She's just amazing but this new guy thinks he's so special and is trying to get with her" he growled "Ooh if I see him I would rip him apart for her"

"What ist this mans name?" Caroline spoke up.

"Oh his name is Thomas Fletcher"

"Oh"

"Wait... Do you know him?"

"Yes I met him recently"

"Where is he now!? I must extract my revenge for my Noire!"

"I'm right here dickhead!" I shouted gaining both of their attention.

"You" Annonydeath growled dropping Caroline and glaring at me.

"You wanted me Mr Fabulous" I replied spreading my arms "come get me"

With a shout of unfabulous rage he ran at me with balled up fists. Sidestepping past the charging robot I ran over to Caroline, she looked pretty hurt and needed my help getting to her feet. From my left I could see Foxhound approaching with increasing speed, there was something intimidating seeing a giant robot sprint in your direction.

"I will rip you apart for her sake" Annonydeath growled. "You don't deserve... What is that noise?"

It was at this point he turned only to take the full weight and power of Foxhounds fist into his face launching him flying into the wall of a building before collapsing into a heap.

"Protocol 3 protect the pilot" Foxhound almost growled as he pulled out his predator cannon and span the barrels at Annonydeath. This next chapter is gonna be awesome. Robot mecha fight whoo!
