Hoped you liked the first chapter.

So you know I may use we when Cooper is in a titan.

TFF

Out of habit I jump into the nearest titan which was BT, wait there both BT must change the name so it's less confusing that way. I jumped into the heavy armor titan now known as Empress and the other one, now known as Scout, started up her vortex shield and shot all projectiles back at them and caused them to explode into a blood red mist with one testicle landing on the view port. Empress removes it and crushes it, and made me shiver a little when there was no hesitation "Don't worry I would never do that to you sweetie." Empress said seeming to know what was the cause of my disco- wait she just called me sweetie what the fuck. Scout vortex shield ran out of power so I moved Empress in front, and I could have sworn I heard "Where in hell did the other titan come from?" from the enemy, and activated the Gatling shield and switching to ranged mode (when fighting in last level I recommend short range mode in the building, ammo waster but because of widespread I don't have to wait on the zoom) and I mowed them down.

When the gatling shield went out I stepped back and thought Scout we need a shield… and you can't hear/know what I'm thinking beca – nevermind, surprisingly Scout stepped up and used her shield. We repeated this until none were left, then came the titan. As said titan sat in its protective shield he called for backup because of the unexpected titan. Unfortunately, for him, his shield went down firing at him with my gatling (I put it back to short range) but I had to dodge shortly after I started firing because a swarm of missiles came this way. Scout started locking on with her own missiles then fired at the enemy, swinging around to catch the missiles in his own vortex shield which Scout used as well but this time they hit true.

Suddenly there was a loud noise looking up was the titan, the one we are fighting, backup hurdling down to us I screamed "Scout finish this guy, we'll greet the newcomer."

"Affirmative. Who is Scout?" The titan with the gun hand asked.

"You!" I shouted with a small chuckle at the end. "Oh" was all she replied with.

"If she is Scout then who am I?" the titan I'm in chimes in with obvious envy, "Empress. Gah! Focus talk later" I replied then realized that I need to focus on the fight, heavy armor or no heavy armor. Wait Empress was damaged before we came here is what I came to and something else too, bullets. I was distracted by my thoughts that we got hit. Focusing back on the fight using the short-range power shot while dashing, and I was right Empress is slower, managed to severely damage him. Getting in close I melee him with a right hook knocking him off balance grabbing the left hand with my right yank upward and the arm comes off, using said arm to beat in the cockpit which now had fire coming out of it.

Turning back to Scout who is on the ground with the XO-16 pin under the enemy titan's foot, about to fire at the data core. Wanting to be in Scouts cockpit to help but there was a blue light surrounded that me then there was a flash and my view was not through optics of Empress but Scouts'. No time for dawdling I have Scout kick him in the other leg, it was farther back than usual the stance to accommodate the uneven weight, causing him to fall over and we put the XO-16 to the cockpit and fire until the mag was empty but he was long dead before that.

Hopping out of Scout having a hard time standing, I was drained whatever that light was and how I ended up in Scouts cockpit, drained me. Searing pain ripped through my arm as I looked what was the cause, the pilot of the titan I bashed in had a broken arm and in the other a pistol, how no one noticed him until now is also a mystery. Both Empress and Scout ran up to the broken arm pilot, Scout's gun transformed into a crude looking hand, holding him so a limb was in each of their hands they began to pull. A loud sickening snap was heard and a blood curdling scream was heard as well, he was laying there all four limbs now stumps. "Oh my god he's still alive!" I said little disturbed at what they did and even more so when the next words left their outer speakers.

"He deserves it, he hurt our pilot, he will feel pain without mercy." With that they pick me up while the poor guy was screaming to end him and his pain but I could not fight a titan that had a good grip on me. I remembered what was next our location was 60 klicks from here and 10 klicks in I start thinking about things. Apparently, I am linked to two titans by technicality one titan because of the whole time travel thing. I am linked to BT-7274 which is both Empress and Scout, one from the past and the other the… future or is it present.

Stopping myself before getting a headache I thought of other things that have been bothering me 1. There are some details that aren't right like a gun where a hand should be and height.

2. Is why do they seem more attached to me.

3. The brutality to that guy was just horrifying, if it was a human chick(s) that would-be kind of hot if they did that for me but titan sized metal chick(s) not so much, anyway BT was never that brutal. Crushed instant death yes cruel slow painful death no.

4. The titans we fought weren't Brutes, thank god, but that's still weird.

"Pilot IMC will con-" Both BTs said but I interrupted them, "Yes I know we have been through this before remember. But you two best remind me of certain events just in case I forgot something, like when I fell off the beacon. Speaking of that I'm going to have to replace it again so one of you guys be ready to catch me." Our way here was a little more entertaining I found out I can hop to the other cockpit without opening the hatch but drains me and when I do that it also changes my clothing to fit the titan loadout design. Legion has heavy armor because of the giant gatling weight slowing the titans down, so my out is heavier and I'm less mobile but I have better protection and I have BTs colors on me with no skin showing not even on the hands. Scout uniform is well like a scout a grappling hook that has a blade in the middle, lighter clothes and better mobility and same as the ones I always wear minus grapple.

The guns I have are the spitfire and the archer handy weapons especially on what's going to happen. "Requesting backup, we're pinned down." Ah there it is the distress call. Getting into Scout I ordered Empress to protect Shaver and Freeborn because she won't be able to keep up. Running into the fry shooting at any that get close and one did manage sneak up on only to get E smoke (electric smoke) while blinded and being electrocuted, we grab the data core and crush it the titan slumps forward at the loss of its AI. Though most titans have manual mode so for good measure I shoot it in the back.

After finally getting onto concrete and none of the toxic sludge, we shoulder ram a nearby titan who still has shields I jump out and rodeo it, taking its battery and shield. Landing behind it as it turns around only get a back full of lead causing it swing around to fire at Scout, loading up the archer, lock on, fire! Hitting titan right in the leg not where I was hoping but it will do. Bending down from the rocket I fired I jump on it once more and pop a grenade into the battery housing, since it was on its last leg literally and metaphorically, it went boom.

Switching out Scouts battery out for the one I took "Is that better?" I asked.

"Yes, my pilot." Was Scout's response with a giggle at the end of it.

I look back to see Empress finishing off the last titan by lifting it in the air with the gatling itself and firing. "Good job." I said the data core on Empress turned pink, huh another thing that has changed, "Thank you." She replied.

"Um thanks for the hand, we have more, inside we'll hold down the fort sir." Freeborn said nervously.

I am not sure why he seems so nervous, at this time I was unaware that only high ranking and promising pilots get the legion setup because it was hard to nick off IMC and hard to make, nodding we head in deeper. Before the entrance is another titan was burnt to a crisp, I see the gun for the Tone loadout. It was glowing blue for some reason mystified by the glow I go to touch without thinking not noticing that my titans are calling for me. When I touched it a vortex of light appeared around me, metal taking shape around my body as it continues take shape I recognize what it was it was another titan.

As it finished it came to life shouting out "Target acquired no hiding now!"

Looking around as if confused, Shaver and Freeborn are probably slack jawed right now. Jumping out and taking a look at our newest member she was covered in medium armor completely, and noticed the cockpit differently too because I had to exit the top, when opening slides back. She was red and white, left leg red, right leg white, right arm red, left arm red, and body red with white target on data core. "Hello. I am going to guess you are BT-7274?" The newborn titan nodded, fidgeting.

She seems to be shy I mused thinking it was kind of cute. "Well so are some of the other titans here so you'll a nickname. I got one! Tracer." I said after much thought and said titan clapped and jump up and down a few times showing she is happy with that. So, I jumped in Scout because of the toxic sludge and the many gaps that I will have to face, the grappling will come in handy. I almost fell last time I came here. As we walked deeper into the facility we come to the ambush point.
