Michael was 21 years old and was excited about this.
"Michael Johnson, you have been granted clearance to fight for the IMC."
"Finally. I've been waiting for years."
Spyglass then handed Michael an IMC Pilot helmet, allowing him to put it on.

"Unfortunately, you have not been granted Pilot status. You have been classified as a class-1 Grunt."
Under his new helmet, Michael's expression dropped. "Wait... WHAT?!"
"Calm down, Michael. I'll make sure you get there." Michael turned around, seeing another Pilot, but in CQB armor.
"Who are you?" Michael asked.
"I'm Captain Dane Smithsonian of IMC squadron Eagle-Eye 9-1. My partner is CZ-9247, an Atlas-class Titan."
"Pilot Smithsonian is one of the IMC's best. Allowing him to help you become a Pilot is your best course of action."
"Alright, but I'm still not exactly sure about it." Michael's trust was not easily earned, and truth be told, it was given to only the most loyal of the IMC.
"Don't worry. Some leaders are harsh on their students, but I'm not one of them. If I go harsh on my students, I end up tiring them out, or losing them very quickly, or even both. Be nice to your students, and they will have a reason to stick up for you, and they'll have your back, grow closer as a team, and pretty much demolish anything the Militia can send at us. So, you in?" Dane had earned Michael's trust in a simple explanation.
"SIR, YES, SIR!"
"Heh heh heh... At ease. Our first lesson will begin at the IMC Training Grounds."
Music

An automated voice rang through the PA, getting everyone's attention. "Warning. Militia fleet detected at IMC fuel processing facility: Sand Trap, Jenor system, planet Yixx. All IMC forces, prepare for combat."
Dane rephrased himself upon hearing that. "Uh... On second thought, our first lesson begins now."
"What's lesson 1?"
"Eager, aren't you? Alright. Lesson 1: Choose the right equipment." Michael immediately made his way to the IMC armory, with Dane observing him.

"A good soldier always has a good secondary weapon in case their primary becomes unavailable."
Michael took a Spitfire LMG, examining its 80-round magazine.
"OK. Nice choice. There are some who that there's such a thing as 'too much firepower'. Those people... are wrong. Suppressive fire has a long history of use in military doctrine: the idea being that, in forcing opponent to keep their head down, they're far less likely to be able to return accurate fire." Dane explained.
Michael noticed a small device strapped to Dane's belt. "What's that?"
"This? Oh, it's a Data-Knife. It allows us Pilots to reprogram enemy Heavy Turrets and BRD-01 'Spectre' Combat Drones to our side."
"Think I could have one?"
"Well, it would help. Alright, I don't see why not." Dane took a Data-Knife out of a small compartment in the armory and handed it to Michael.
"Thank you, sir. Now, any chance I could meet CZ?"
"You'll meet him soon enough." Dane replied.

"We've arrived at the Sand Trap facility on the planet Yixx! All troops, move out!" Reported the IMC Grunt driving the Drop Ship. The IMC infantry units onboard jumped off, landing on the sands of the facility's exterior.

The Pilots, except for Dane, headed into the area to take out any Militia forces in the area. Dane and Michael arrived in a Drop Pod with two other IMC Grunts, who followed them into the facility's interior. "Alright, Michael. Just stay close to me and watch my back, OK? We'll get through this."
"Understood, Captain."
Michael and Dane, back-to-back, headed into the Sand Trap facility.
Within Michael's helmet, a status report for the JumpKit could be seen.

"Hold up. We've got contacts nearby."
"Roger that." Michael was ready to engage.
"Militia Pilot, right around that corner." Dane whispered, pointing at a corner in the hall.
Michael tossed a Satchel Charge on the wall past it, then detonated the explosive.
Michael [Satchel Charge] Militia Pilot
"Good thinking." A Grunt commended.
"Just doing my job." Michael shrugged.
"So, you perform better with others backing you up?" The other Grunt wondered.
"Power in numbers." Michael had a point.
"Hm. That makes sense." Dane stated. He reached a control terminal, allowing him access to the facility's systems. "Eagle-Eye 9-1, this is Captain Dane Smithsonian. I have accessed the facility's systems."
A Pilot's voice was heard on the radio. "Solid copy. Is that new guy with you?"
"Michael Johnson is here. He killed a Pilot with one of his Satchel Charges."
"Nice! Tell him he's already doing a good job."
"Roger that. Hey, Michael, you're doing a good job. Spyglass, what's the ETA for my partner?"
Spyglass was on the comms. "IMC Atlas-class Titan Charlie-Zulu Nine-Two-Four-Seven will be landing in 3... 2... 1... mark."
A loud impact was heard outside as Dane rushed to the exit.
Michael and the Grunts followed him, seeing an Atlas-class Titan, but with a slightly unusual difference among other Titans. The Titan's optics and lights were of a jade glow instead of the normal blue. Not only were the Titan's lights different, but it held a Plasma Railgun in its left hand, the same arm that held a Vortex Shield projection mechanism.

"Ready for action, Jeeves?" Dane asked the Atlas Titan.
"[Affirmative. Ready to transfer control to Pilot.]" The Titan reached out and grabbed Dane and placed him inside the cockpit as it opened before closing him in.

CHECKING USER MASS DISTRIBUTION...
Dane's voice was heard through the Titan speakers. "Don't worry, Michael. I'll protect you. Climb on. You two go join the others." He lowered his Titan and placed a metal hand on the ground for Michael to get on. Once the Grunt was on the Titan's grasper, he was lifted up to the top of the hull, where he noticed a few support handles for passengers. Latching on, Michael took out his Smart Pistol MK5 and watched for any enemy infantry units.
As they went along and eliminated any hostile units in sight, Dane pulled up his Titan's Vortex Shield to reflect a few Anti-Titan weapon shots, while Michael used his ordinance and weaponry.

Just then, Michael's hand hurt, like a rock was being pressed against it. He looked up, seeing a Militia Pilot stepping on his hand. "You're going down, Grunt. You, and the Pilot in this Titan."
"Hostile rodeo!" Michael called out.
The lid on the top of the Titan popped open, drawing the Militia Pilot's attention before he even had time to pull out a weapon. Dane climbed out, EVA-8 Shotgun in his left hand. "Nobody hurts my friends and gets away with it!" He pulled the trigger, landing every single pellet of the blast in the Militia Pilot's torso.

The dead Pilot fell off the Titan's hull as Michael switched the hand he had on the handle with his right hand. "You OK, Michael?"
"Got a broken hand. Ouch... I'll manage, but I'm not left-handed like you, so I'm pretty much useless up here. I need to use my shooting arm to hold myself up on your Titan's hull."
"I'll figure something out. Just hang on, OK?"
Music
Titanfall - OST 43
Dane dropped back into his Titan and took the controls. "[Pilot, may I suggest my built-in medical systems? I am more than positive I can provide a medical aid to his broken hand.]"
"Good idea. But we'll need to find a good place out of combat."
"[Confirmed. Allow me to take the controls, and I will transport us to a safer location.]"
"Disengaging Pilot-Mode."
"[Acknowledged. AI-Mode engaged.]" After a while, the Auto-Titan reached the back of a building, allowing Dane to disembark and Michael to climb down. With the cockpit still open, Dane helped Michael get inside.

CHECKING ELECTROSTATIC CIRCUITS...
A small mechanism clamped around Michael's broken hand. "OUCH! Easy!"
"[My apologies. Please remain still, and keep your strength up. Applying local anesthetic.]" With the pain numbing away, Michael could still barely feel his hand being mechanically operated on. After what seemed like two minutes, the device opened, revealing a small amount of casting bandages wrapped around his hand. "[Medical advice: Do not remove the bandages for 24 hours.]"
Michael hopped out as the IMC Atlas-class Titan closed the cockpit. The Grunt expressed his thanks to the Titan with a thumbs-up. CZ-9247 looked at his own hand for a few moments before returning the gesture himself.

"Thanks for the assist." Michael praised.
"[You are welcome, Michael Johnson.]"
"Ready to get back to the mission?" Dane asked.
"Let's finish what we started, Captain." Michael climbed back on the Atlas-class Titan as Dane embarked, taking the controls.
"[Welcome back. Pilot-Mode online.]"
"Ready, Dane?" Michael's voice was heard within the Titan's cockpit, coming from the Titan's built-in communications array.
"Ready."

Titanfall - OST 48
Dane ran out into the open, encountering an enemy Titan, an Ogre with a Triple Threat. "[Recommend keeping a distance as the Triple Threat has a very limited range.]"
"Right." Dane opened fire with a fully charged Plasma Railgun shot, dealing a substantial amount of damage, and a Rocket Salvo payload to add to it.
"[Detecting Multi-Target Missile System lock-on. Recommend Vortex Shield.]" Jeeves suggested.
"I see a group of Spectres! Should I give my Data-Knife a try?" Michael reported.
"Go ahead."
"[Friendly unit has left the hull.]" Michael jumped off CZ-9247's hull and headed to a squad of four Militia Spectres, activated his Cloak, and stuck his Data-Knife into the back of a Spectre's head, reprogramming the group and preparing his Charge Rifle.

"Spectres, Anti-Titan weapons at the ready!" The Spectres pulled out Archer Heavy Rockets and lined up their shots, awaiting further orders. "FIRE!" The Spectres launched powerful missiles at the Militia Ogre-class Titan while Michael blasted it with his Charge Rifle.
"[Friendly units are attacking your target. Recommend drawing the enemy Titan's attention to us in order to prevent the loss of friendly support.]"
"Got it, Jeeves. Man... Michael's pretty good at his job.
"[Agreed. Michael Johnson has run the Hammond Pilot Certification Simulator a recorded total of nineteen times, so his skills are vastly enhanced.]"
"Nineteen times? Wow, he's dedicated, I'll give him that."
"[Noted. And agreed with.]"
As Dane kept the Militia Ogre-class Titan focused on him, Michael ordered his Spectres to launch another barrage. "Ready. Aim. FIRE!" The Spectres fired another volley of missiles at the Militia Ogre, dooming it. "He's all yours."
"Thanks, man." Dane thrust a metal hand into the Ogre's cockpit, pulled out the Pilot, and threw him like a ragdoll into the fuel reservoirs.

"How helpful was I?" Michael asked.
"Immensely. I'll put in a good word for you after this mission. You'll become a Pilot in no time."
"Really?!" The Pilot-to-be was certainly excited.
"Yeah. Who am I to go against the wishes of the Vice Admiral's adopted son?"
"You know about that?" Michael was surprised.
"I've read your file." It's true. Spyglass had become the Vice Admiral of the IMC at the end of the battle of Demeter two years ago, filling in the position after the betrayal of former-Vice Admiral Marcus Graves.
"So, are we moving out, or what?"
"Secure the area as best you can, and call if you need backup." Dane ordered.
"Got it. Spectres, go with Dane." The former-enemy BRD-01 'Spectre' Combat Drones left Michael's side and went over to Dane's Titan.
"[We are surrounded by friendly units. Utilize Wi-Fi Virus transmitter to raise their numbers without the need to disembark.]"
"Copy that, Jeeves." As Dane and the Spectres departed, Michael stayed to guard the area.

With sharpened senses, Michael backhanded a Militia Pilot behind him square in the face, then unloaded seven Spitfire LMG rounds into his back.

"Close, but no enchilada." Michael said as he cloaked, seeing a squad of Militia Grunts behind him. He entered the group, then placed an armed Satchel Charge on the belt of the Grunt in the back before heading up in front of them and uncloaking.
"CONTACT! WE GOT AN ENEMY PILOT!"
"I'm not a Pilot... yet. By the way, you guys need to tone it down a bit with the yelling. Here. Let me help you with that." He took out his detonator and pulled the trigger, blowing the Grunt squad to smithereens. "No yelling Militia Grunts. Music to my ears."
Dane's voice was heard over the comms. "I just saw that. Well done, Michael."

Just then, an IMC communication channel was opened. "Michael Johnson? Michael Johnson, are you there? Are you receiving me?"
"IMC Grunt Michael Johnson here. What do you require, Dr. Hammond?"
"Don't you mean 'IMC Pilot Michael Johnson'?"
"Wait... What?"
"I apologize. It seems my intention to commend you on your creation of the neural link slipped my mind over the years. I have remembered now, and I hereby promote you to Pilot status. A custom Titan has been constructed for you. Signal when ready."

"I could already use that Titan."
"Stand by for Titanfall." From the sky came a Stryder-class Titan, wielding a Quad Rocket, chassis number: SN-6726.
"[Greetings, Pilot Michael Johnson. I have been assigned to you. We must establish a neural link in order to proceed. Please embark when ready.]" The Titan apparently had the Vanessa OS voice.
Music
Titanfall 2 - Link to Pilot
Michael climbed into the Stryder-class Titan as it opened its cockpit, sealing him in. "[Protocol 1: Link to Pilot. Establishing neural link.]"
Michael was unprepared for an immense pain to suddenly surge through his head, causing him to scream. Without warning, the pain went away, like it was never there. "What... the heck...?"
"[Neural link: established. Michael Johnson, you are now confirmed as acting Pilot of Sierra-November Six-Seven-Two-Six.]" Michael mumbled something that the Titan could not understand. "[I can not understand what you are saying.]"
"Did that have to hurt so much?"
"[For that, I apologize. However, we must complete the neural link.]"
"Right. What's next?" Michael asked.
"[Protocol 2: Uphold the Mission. Our orders are to eliminate all Militia forces and secure the Frontier, ridding it of the insurgents for good.]"
"Got that right. Anything else?"
"[I am detecting incoming enemy forces. Protocol 3: Protect the Pilot. Initializing critical systems.]"
Music

The Titan cockpit display activated, showing Michael the outside through the Titan's optics. There were Militia Grunts and Spectres firing at his Stryder with R-101C Carbines, G2A4 Rifles, R-97 Compact SMGs, and Hemlok BF-Rs. "[Pilot, our Particle Wall deployment mechanism is online. This will act as a barrier between us and them. You will need to keep deploying Particle Walls until the neural link is complete, then primary weapon control will be established.]"
"Right then. Deploying Particle Wall now." A Particle Wall appeared, blocking the unrelenting hail of lead.
Music

"[Warning: Hostile Titan detected.]" A Militia Atlas-class Titan with a 40mm Cannon appeared, ready to tear up the IMC Stryder-class Titan.
"Uh... Dane? Little help here?"
"On my way!"
The Militia Titan was getting closer and closer, 40mm Cannon armed and ready. As the Titan began to pass through the Particle Wall, a powerful shot made impact, dealing significant damage.

"[Militia Titan acquired.]" Dane had come to Michael's aid, flipping the Militia Atlas on its back and unloading a full Rocket Salvo payload at the hatch, destroying the cockpit despite the remaining hull integrity, then dealing with the Grunts and converting the Spectres.

"Michael, you OK?" Dane asked.
"I'm good, thanks to you."
"You're welcome. I heard Dr. Hammond on the comms. He promoted you to Pilot status, and dropped in a new Titan assigned to you. SN, how are you fairing?"
"[Quite well. Thank you, Captain. Michael's neural link is now complete. Primary weapon control and motion link established. Slaved Warheads online. Pilot, the Slaved Warheads automatically lock-on to any enemy Titan, Drop Ship, or Heavy Turret in range. You can only fire the Slaved Warheads when they have acquired a full lock, yet they cannot fire on multiple targets at once, nor can they fire at infantry-sized targets.]"
"Fair enough, I guess." Michael stood up, then pumped his Titan's fists forward and back once.
Dane looked at him through Jeeves's cockpit display. "What're you doing?"
Bending his Titan's arms out to the sides, Michael clashed his right fist into the left palm, folding the fingers of Vanessa's left hand over the Titan's right. Once he was done, Michael pulled out the Quad Rocket, ready for combat. "Neural link synchronized. Good to go."
"Synchronized... Alright. I dig it."
A Militia Stryder with an XO-16 Chaingun dropped in, with its Pilot already at the Titan. It stood up, the Pilot having embarked, and launched a Cluster Missile. Dane caught the Cluster Missile in his Titan's Vortex Shield before launching it back, along with a load of XO-16 Chaingun rounds. The XO-16 shells hit, but the Cluster Missile was captured in the Stryder's Vortex Shield, then redirected back at Dane.
Music

Before the Cluster Missile could hit its target, Michael caught it with his Titan's metal hands, used the Stryder-class Titan's three dashes, pulled open the Militia Titan's cockpit, shoved the Cluster Missile into it, slapped the cockpit closed, and kicked the enemy Titan to the ground, all in very quick succession.

"Tac Six to all ground forces. The Sand Trap facility is under our control. Fine work all 'round." Blisk reported the mission a success.
"Be advised: The Militia forces have been defeated, but enemy survivors remain in your area. Do not allow them to escape." Spyglass added.
"Let's take them all down and out." Dane stated, reloading the Plasma Railgun.
"I couldn't agree more, my friend." Michael replied, loading another Quad Rocket magazine.

"[Pilot, I will assist in Drop Ship destruction in AI-Mode. You may disembark.]" SN-6726 suggested.
"Let's do this." Michael's adrenaline was pumping.
"[Pilot Dane Smithsonian, allow me to put the Guardian Chip you installed to good use.]"
"Right. Let's roll."
Michael and Dane disembarked from their Titans and left them in Follow-Mode, then started heading toward the enemy evac point.

"[Auto-Titan engaging enemy Pilot.]"
"[Be advised: I am engaging hostile infantry.]"
Jeeves and Vanessa opened fire.
"So, you gave Jeeves a Guardian Chip, huh?" Michael wondered.
"Yup. He's more than proved himself in the field." Dane replied.

A Militia Drop Ship appeared at the south region of the facility, waiting for any Militia survivors.
"SN, there's the Drop Ship! Take it down!"
"[I am targeting the Militia Drop Ship.]"
As Michael pulled out his Charge Rifle and began blasting the Drop Ship with energy beams, SN-6726 opened fire with the Quad Rocket.
"[Be advised: I am attacking the Militia Drop Ship.]"
"Jeeves, Damage Core activation is authorized!" Dane stated.
"Wait... What?" Michael was caught off-guard.
"[Confirmed. Activating Damage Core.]"
"Your Auto-Titan is capable of activating its own Core ability?"
Dane gave him a thumbs-up. "Yup. Just a little tactic to get a load more damage through."
"[Slaved Warheads locked on. Firing ordinance.]" SN-6726 fired off four volleys of three rockets each from the missile pod above the Stryder's shoulder.
"[Pilot, requesting permission to launch Rocket Salvo.]"
"Granted!"
The Atlas-class Titan launched a stream of unguided missiles, amplified by the active Damage Core.
With SN-6726 launching Quad Rocket volleys and Slaved Warhead payloads, Michael blasting with the Charge Rifle, Jeeves firing Plasma Railgun rounds and Rocket Salvo streams, and Dane pelting with Sidewinder micro-missiles, the Drop Ship was nearly destroyed.
Just then, a rocket blasted in from behind them, finishing off the Drop Ship, and the Pilots onboard.

"No."
"I was converted to the IMC by Jacquelyn Kiara Smithsonian, Pilot of IMC Atlas-class Titan CQ-4729, and member of IMC squadron Eagle-Eye 9-1. I request immediate assistance. Jacquelyn Smithsonian is under attack by multiple hostile Titans." The Spectre reported.

"Whoa! Geez, calm down!" Michael was alarmed at the sudden outburst.
"[Pilot Dane and Jacquelyn Smithsonian have been living on their own ever since a raiding party of pirates and thugs slaughtered their family.]" Jeeves explained.
"That can wait for another time, Jeeves!" Dane interjected.
"[Very well.]"
Dane embarked into his Titan before running off to Jacquelyn Smithsonian's location. "Kiara, hang on! I'm coming!"
A female voice was heard on the comms. "Hurry! I can't hold out much longer!"
A Titan with a deep voice was also heard. "[Warning: We are outnumbered 2-to-1. Requesting immediate assistance.]"
There was a Militia Atlas-class Titan and a Militia Ogre-class Titan attacking the IMC Atlas-class Titan. "You Militia garbage heaps are about to get a real beating."

Dane dashed and penetrated the back of the Militia Ogre's cockpit with his Titan's fist, grabbing the Pilot and crushing him right then and there before taking the Titan's 40mm Cannon and blasting the Militia Atlas in the optic, then punching into that Titan's cockpit and smashing the Pilot against the back of the Titan's interior before ripping out the Atlas-class Titan's Reactor.

Michael stood at attention."IMC Pilot Michael Johnson on duty."
"Sorry for the outburst. I'm just protective of my sister."
"I understand. I would've done the same thing if I were in your shoes."
"Really?"
Michael nodded, knowing how important family can be... despite not exactly having one of his own.

"Good work, Pilots. Another Militia fleet has been eliminated. You may all return to your quarters." Spyglass dismissed the Pilots.
"Oi, Johnson! Looks like ya got your dream. You're a Pilot now." Blisk congratulated.
"Thanks, Blisk. I look forward to serving the IMC alongside you and the other Pilots."
"You're devoted, I'll say that much."
"Michael Johnson, a word please."
"Better get goin'. Don't wanna keep the Vice Admiral waiting."

"Wait... HEY!"
"Let me guess... Only your friends call you Kuben?"
"You... consider yourself a friend of mine?"
"I consider it both ways."
"Heh, I guess that's OK. Seeya, Michael."
With that, Michael went to see what Spyglass called him for. "Everything alright, Spyglass?"
"Affirmative. I have received word that you were given a field promotion to Titan-Pilot. The Stryder-class Titan you have been given by Dr Hammond himself will be added to your IMC profile."
"You mean SN-6726? I have an idea for any Titans ready to drop in as soon as we drop in."
"What did you have in mind?"
"We would bring the Titans with the Pilot Drop Ships by using Widows."
"A reasonable idea."
"We could try that on the next mission. Is that OK?"
"Affirmative."

I hope you found this one interesting. Oh, and in the death messages, (X) means the kill was secured with a head-shot.
See you next time.
