Well it's chapter two I'm going to skip over the missions because if you want to find out what happens in the game either look in the wiki or play the game. But here's the quick run through.
Resistance missions (cannon)
First: Guard agent from security raid team while he's being debrief
Second: Break the pilot Nechayev out of Security HQ
Third: Guard Intel from another security raid squad
Fourth: Get a black box from a shot down helicopter.
Fifth: Protect Resistance C-city bunker containing a vaccine for the plague
Sixth: finish repairs on an airplane to get to the outside world
Seventh (DLC): fight your way into science center to get Arkcoral sample to bargain with outside world.
Eighth (DLC): turn the kilometer high founders' tower into a light house via fertilizer bomb.
Any questions?
A few weeks later after I talked with Chen who explained the situation of where I was and what was happening to the ARK, I quickly signed up with the Resistance and have since become a rally symbol that there is civilization outside the ARK and boosted moral among those in the resistance. Chen in order to protect me he assigned Nick to be a body guard and to teach how to fight before the real bullets start flying right now we are in the shipyards a rusting mess of leftover ships. Abandoned, dangerous, and, a perfect resistance hideout.
"Alright Ichika listen up!" said Nick stopping in an open area "this is combat and parkour training, this here is a sea eagle hand gun a heavy caliber long range gun general rule is point and shoot" I already knew that. He handed me the gun "alright see those targets down there" I nodded "alright I want you to shoot them each once." I took aim and fired the recoil was bigger than I thought end result one target hit on the outside. "Well…." Started Nick "you suck." I grumbled at that "ha, ha, ha, ha, just kidding I guessed you couldn't shoot for shit even before I gave you the gun. Anyways try lining up the sights." I did as he told me to and I did a lot better not perfect but they were inside the rings. "We'll work on this later let's move onto parkour"
"Parkour?" I asked unfamiliar with the term.
"Yep or free running any ways this is the main way people get around on the pelgos." He looked around a bit "alright since this is a more by doing than listening we'll go for a jog and you'll try to keep up with me" he then took off running, me struggling to keep up he then jumped up and grabbed onto a ledge and pulled himself up I stopped "what you stopping for? You don't stop in parkour."
"How am I suppose to get up there" I complained "your twice the size I am"
"Trying jumping at the wall then jumping again" Nick explained I backed up and ran at the wall and somehow got a foothold and jumped again though I nearly missed grabbing ledge and scrambled to get up. "We'll work on that too, but I think this was a pretty successful first day"
3 years later, post war and all the cool fight scenes, I.S. Academy, Chifuyu POV
I was watching the news, a plane from the ARK Complex just landed in Tokyo Airport; normally a plane landing wouldn't be a big thing even if it was some special place. But the ARK was a place that was lost in the pacific ocean 40 years ago after some big businesses claimed it was the end of the world causing millions on the coast to try to find it a lot of them didn't come back was something of a modern day Atlantis rumors were advance medicine and technology even by today's standards.
"The plane was piloted by a group of men claiming to be resistance movement on the ARK" said the news woman "they have given us a video tape from one of their youngest members no older than fifteen" He would be fifteen too now. "Along with the video they also sent us current coordinates of the ARK; which the U.N. is already making plans to mount a rescue operation." Well this is interesting the ARK was lost before I was born maybe I'll finally see what my parents were excited about… why the hell would I care what they thought.
"Thank you Koyuki" said the anchorman the news going back to the studio "we'll be showing the video now to help anyone unfamiliar with the ARK get a grip on what we're dealing with." the image then turned to static as the video started the image turned into a young boy sitting in front of the sea not just any boy but someone I lost and missed for three years… Ichika. A closer examination showed he has gained notable muscle mass and scars like someone tried to kill him with a blade; this made me growl.
"Hey outside world" he said in an awkward voice probably not use to doing something like this "my name is Ichika Orimura, Chen is having do this video to show you guy what it's like here and I'm the one doing this since I'm the youngest idiot in the resistance" I smirked at that, I guess all those years of calling him that rubbed off on him "and I'm also from the outside world, everyone in the Resistance know where I came from and I've become what Chen calls a symbol of hope, kind of sappy I know but it's something to look forward too, most people use to think the outside world was completely flooded then I came and the Resistance grew rapidly" he seems proud of himself "anyways I've been here for three years after the ship I was on exploded because an I.S. attacked it" I felt a pang of guilt because I was the one attacking that ship, looks like I almost killed him "well anyways it's close to D-day here I'm doing this video now because I'm about to fight a war to contact you guys and end the fascist rule over the ARk" he gestured to large white tower "the founders have control over the ark and are keeping us from looking for the outside world we call them Fascist" they sound like bastards "any ways I'm going to fight in this war and there is a pretty big chance I won't be coming back" I wanted to yell at Ichika not to go but my rational side new that it was recording and what was done was done.
"Well that was exciting" said the anchorman "the rest of the video will be shown on our website by 9 PM. This has been our broadcast thank you for tuning in"
I heard a knock at my door and opened it to find my other sibling Madoka and her childhood friend Houki they both looked shaken "D-did you see the news" she exclaimed it was like they've seen a ghost; well… "I can't believe he's alive after all this time"
"Did you see those scars" put in Houki I could tell she was worried she was devastated when we told her Ichika went missing "What has he gone through?" they both started panicking.
"Silence we'll talk about this in the morning" they nodded and left. I went to bed for the first time in a long time I felt…relieved.
1 week later
I was waiting in a plane the kind they use for military deployments she volunteered to dust off her I.S. and go on this mission to secure the ARK apparently the Resistance was fighting a renewed security after their captain spread a lie about the outside world being full savages that will not hesitate to kill them, most of the civilians have been evacuated but security is 'protecting' some of the guest in founders tower. The Resistance was making push and has taken large ground with few casualties but they have reached a road block in their offensive at heavily fortified security positions. From what I hear they are tearing the ARK apart in their battle. I just hope Ichika's okay.
Ichika POV
Me and my group is waiting in the fish farm visitor center we just got there by boat and are planning to use the monorail to sneak around the security barricade and wreck it we are just waiting for the go signal. My weapons are the Ritchie revolver and bulpdaun smg I am dressed in a lost jacket and fortress pants. Are group leader just put a finger to his ear piece to listen to the oncoming transmission. "Alright people the U.N.'s special group just touched down so we're going in!" we loaded our weapons and loaded onto the monorail the doors "Put your guns up"
"YEAH!" this means weapon buffs (1) for all. The monorail took off toward founder territory when we got there the station was empty, probably too busy at the barricades.
"Alright brothers" said our squad leader "we do this right and we are out of here no more water ration, no more rusted homes falling apart!" we let out cheer to show our conviction. "Let's get out there" we burst out of the station guns blazing catching a large group of security off guard killing them quickly. We ran towards the barricade taking out anyone in our way. By the time we got there security was prepared for us and put up MG emplacements. The guy next to me got caught in the fire and went down he was still alive but injured. I got an idea I jumped up onto the top of the wall took to guys out with my bulpdaun smg and ran to where I was right above the two MG's I readied a cocktail Molotov and threw it down it knocked both operators down who were quickly finished by the rest of the group. I jumped down and planted a HE charge (2) on the barricade. I got to the safe zone just as the timer on the charge finished counting and the barricade blew open. "Good job Ichika" alright brothers our job is done and now we just need to get those people out and we're out of here.
You may be wondering why they are excited to leave well you know the saying home is where the heart is? Well the only hearts here are the ones that have been shot, stabbed, and stomped on.
Few hours later
We did it we saved the guests who are now on their way to land apparently when we destroyed that barricade the security members just surrendered. Now we're just waiting for the transport ships to return so the fighters can go too. The remaining members of my group (rest are waiting at the airfield) returned to the visitor center and are just hanging around talking about old times, it was saddening to know I'll probably never see these guys again. "Wait" said a man with a medium build in irish accent wearing the full fortress attire "let's take a picture." Everyone agreed so we all lined up weapons dangling from our shoulders while arms went across each other's we all put a stupid grin on as man who came up with the idea set up the camera and ran to join us.
The camera was about to go off but my combat intuition (3) alerted me to danger. "Everyone down" I yelled as the wall behind us blew open. Those of us who ducked in time managed to get by bruised the others were knocked down and injured including out medic. We turned and what we saw was some mechanical being hovering above the ground it was completely white had to wings. It kind of looked like a mechanical angel. It then pointed a weapon in its hand at me which kind of resembled my gun.
"Run for it" yelled one of the survivors we all sprinted down a hallway the thing firing after us some us returned fire while running. We all ran into what use to be the Day-1 safe house. "Okay does anyone know what the hell that thing was?"
"I think… I think it was an I.S." I said panting
"A what?"
"An I.S. you know how I'm from the outside world" they nodded "we'll before I was kidnapped a machine was invented meant for space travel but it also happened to be more advance then modern military hardware… you know what screw it it's a high tech battle armor has energy shields protecting it from damage."
"So basically It's invulnerable war machine and we're all screwed?"
"Well actually I figure we use enough explosives we should be fine"
"Thinking like soldier are you?" he said grinning "good job, but maybe we can punch those shields out first you said energy right" I nodded "alright how many here are operatives?" two of them raised their hands "alright here's what we'll do soldiers set up all the explosives you can in the basement and set to a remote detonator then one of you lure it down there everyone else will provide covering fire. We good brothers?" we all nodded the heavy and medium body types switched their weapons out for grenade launchers as the soldiers went down stairs to set the trap. 5 minutes after piling all the HE charges, satchel charges, heavy grenades that we had we had one big pile of fireworks one of the soldiers turned to me "so who's on bait duty" everyone was looking at me probably cause I was the fastest.
"Fine" I grumbled "I guess it's time to get shot at…again" and ran off to the level of where the I.S. was last seen.
Chifuyu POV
After some resistance members snuck behind enemy lines and destroyed the barricade the battle went pretty quick. Pretty much all security forces surrendered after the brunt of the resistance forces made it in. Right now I was talking with their leader known as Chen. "I really must thank you we would have lost a lot more brothers if you and your …I.S.?" I nodded in confirmation "well if you weren't things would have been a lot bloodier."
"Your thanks are unneeded" I responded "I did this for a family member"
"Yes my brother is fighting in your resistance I came here to get him back"
"But you're from the outside world…" he mumbled confused but then a moment of realization hit him "oh you must be Ichika sister I should've guessed from your name in all" he chuckled a bit "the boy speaks highly of you" though I didn't show it outwardly I was happy my brother thinks highly of me "Ah, yes Ichika that boy is an irreplaceable brother to us every time our forces get bogged down on missions he'd always find some way to get them moving again pretty much everyone here respects him as a fighter."
"Do you know where he is?" I asked
"Yes he was with the force that was behind enemy lines from what I here he was once again vital in clearing the way." He chuckled once again "Well anyway some of his group came here to airfield, but he should still be at the visitor center with the rest of them. How about I call them up." He put his finger into his ear piece "Davis? Hello Davis are you there?" I heard panicked yelling on the other "What do you mean you're being attacked by a robot, I doubt maintenance bot would give you that much trouble." Some more panicked shouting "wait…Ichika says it's an I.S." my eyes widened at that. He put his hand down "looks like your brother maybe in more trouble again" he gestured for two soldiers standing by to come with him. damn it if ichika is really facing an I.S. then I might really lose him this time!
Ichika POV
Well here I am looking at the backside of my enemy currently hovering above my injured brothers. I machine from the outside world modified for battle and me a guy who got handed this gun with minimal training…. Well let's see how this goes. I shoot a burst from my SMG at the machine as it shields flare it turns toward me and charges as I hightailed it out of there. The I.S. was close on my heals I see a chute leading towards the basement I duck under some bullets fired from the I.S. weapons and slid down he shoot. I thought it couldn't fit down the chute. It couldn't but… it blew a hole in ceiling. I continued to run down the hall nearing the bomb area I shot at a few more times to keep it on me. I finally got to the bar area we put the explosives in the hallway so the I.S. couldn't maneuver around as easily to avoid the blast "guys it's coming" I yelled out I stopped in front of the explosives with another hallway on my right. The I.S. came around the corner I jumped into the second hallway. I could hear the hovering as it came into view again it aime it's weapon at me
"Now" said our leader I saw two EMP (4) grenades hit the back of the I.S. which seemed to stun it long enough for the explosives to go off "good job Soldier!" finally that thing was done for that should have totally messed it up good until *clang**clang**clang* heavy metallic footsteps could be heard coming towards me the I.S. was still moving.
Well i didn't get as far as i wanted in this chpater and i'm probably going to work on ym other two stories now
1. Weapon buffs are weapon upgrades given out by engineers that increase your weapon damage
2. HE charges are the primary jobs of soldiers they will blow up anything and have a 40 sec timer
3. combat intuition is a ability you can buy with a level credit. it basically gives you a sixth sense that if enemies are targeting you and you don't know it this will alert you.
4. Emp grenades self explantory it disables or slows down anything electrical. is an operative ability
