Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Aboard the GFS Olympus

Michael was called to talk with Aurora Unit 242 on the new ship added to the fleet, formerly known as the GFS Olympus, now completely upgraded with IMC technology to become the IMS Olympus, but a rename request was still pending approval... and ideas.

"Alright, 242. I'm here. What do you need?"

"Greetings, Michael Johnson. Let us begin. Over the past few weeks, the other Aurora Units and I have been hard at work making alterations on a copy of the schematic for the Ion, Scorch, Northstar, Ronin, Tone, and Legion Titans. These new Titans are known as the Prime Titans. However, we cannot create a Prime variant of the Monarch, so we will have to place the Vanguard in that spot once we are able to acquire it. Until then, we will be constructing a new specialized set of upgrades for Pilots who do exceptionally well in combat. For now, the Prime Titans are all we have created. Their functionality is nearly identical to the normal versions, so there may be improvements. However, AU 217 has managed to modify the blueprints of the original six Titans, allowing them to match their Prime variants. These new Titans will be added to your fleet. I am also working on creating a more powerful version of the Titan Battery Packs, so be ready for that."

"Right, I'll be ready for the new Prime Titans."

"We are still analyzing you for any sign of abnormalities in your genetic composure. So far, we have found nothing. This aura, as well as the glow from your right eye, may be from a sort of spiritual protector."

"Um... OK? I'm still unsure about this stuff."

"Kuben Blisk of the Apex Predators has also left an audio message."

Blisk's voice was heard from the recording. "This message goes to the main IMC battalion stationed at the IMC HQ. I'm better off with you guys than General Marder of the ARES Division. He doesn't care about others, you guys do. His selfishness is pretty much greater than my greed. I'm starting to question why I even started the Apex Predators. Let's just say I... don't feel it anymore."

"I kinda look forward to welcoming him back to our ranks." Michael stated.

"Welcome back, Michael."

"Thanks, Adam."

"What did the Aurora Unit want to talk to you about?"

"The AUs are working on new specialized upgrades, and they've completed these new Titans: more enhanced versions of the Ion, Scorch, Northstar, Ronin, Tone, and Legion. They're called Prime Titans."

"Prime Titans? Interesting."

"I know. I look forward to seeing what they can do."

An alert was broadcast throughout the HQ. "Warning: Militia units detected at IMC Zone 18. All IMC units, prepare for combat."

"Go take them out, I'll be right behind you. I have to finish some new modifications to my Spectre chassis." Adam said.

"You're joining the battle? I'm sure you'll be amazing out there."

"Thank you."

Titanfall - OST 01

Eagle-Eye 9-1 and Interceptor 11-29 were ready to drop in. There were Militia Titans everywhere, but those Titans would soon be overrun by sheer superior numbers. Every single Titan in the two IMC squadrons dropped to the ground, some of them crushing a Militia Titan.

"Looks like we took them by surprise! Open fire!" Michael ordered.

The battle had begun, and Anthony was the first to kill. With his target Doomed, Anthony punched into the cockpit, ripped out the Pilot, and crushed him in his Monarch's hand. The Scorch was still up, and Anthony noticed this as his Titan's optic turned to face it before he kicked it down.

"[Enemy Titan eliminated. Well done.]"

"Thanks."

"[You're welcome, Pilot.]" Before another word could be said, a Militia Ronin-class Titan appeared out of Phase Dash, with its Sword Core active.

"Whoa!" As the Ronin attempted to turn Anthony's Titan into literally every sort of sliced steel with a sparking Broadsword, Anthony narrowly managed to avoid the deadly blade, until he caught it in between his Titan's hands.

Pulling the Broadsword out of the Ronin's hands, Anthony managed to disable its Sword Core before using the Energy Siphon, Rocket Salvo, and a cloud of Electric Smoke. A laser cannon resembling an Ion's Laser Shot blaster flipped up, firing a beam that drained the Ronin's energy, restoring some of YL-9075's shields. A rocket pod opened up, unleashing a stream of unguided missiles straight at the Ronin. Anthony grabbed the enemy Titan by its arm, keeping it in the cloud of electrified vapor as it ate away at the Ronin's hull, eventually Dooming it.

Anthony punched the Ronin's cockpit open and ripped the Pilot out, just like the last one. The Pilot was crushed in the Monarch's metal hand before the Titan was dealt with.

"[Upgrade Core ready.]"

"Let's do this!"

"[Upgrade Core: stage 1. Upgrade: Energy Transfer.]"

Anthony used the Rearm ability to test out his new upgrade on a friendly Titan, giving it some shields. "Thanks for the shields, Anthony!"

"Heh heh. That's useful."

Titanfall - OST 54

Suddenly, more Militia Titans dropped in, attacking the IMC. However, more IMC Titans also dropped in to counter this, and they were the new Prime Titans.

First, the Ion-class Prime Titan hit an enemy Titan with the Laser Shot. The Titan attempted to retaliate, but was knocked to the ground with the cockpit flinging open, leaving the Pilot exposed. The Ion Prime then used a short burst of the Laser Core to disintegrate both the Pilot and the Titan.

The Scorch-class Prime Titan sent two flaming punches into an enemy Titan, first the right, then the left. With the Titan staggered, the Scorch Prime unleashed a concentrated Flame Core, destroying it right then and there.

The Northstar-class Prime Titan used the Plasma Railgun to knock the enemy Titan's weapon out of its hands before pouncing on it and grabbing its arms. The Northstar Prime ripped the arms off, took to the skies, unloaded a shorter Flight Core, and stomped the literally disarmed Titan into an explosion.

The Ronin-class Prime Titan kicked an enemy Titan, causing it to drop its weapon, before unleashing a barrage of rapid Sword Core Broadsword strikes, followed by an Arc Wave, destroying the Titan, but somehow leaving its legs standing before they eventually tumbled down.

The Tone-class Prime Titan slapped the weapon out of an enemy Titan's hands, fired two explosive rounds at the Titan, jabbed the 40mm Tracker Cannon into the Titan's cockpit, fired a third round to complete the lock, flipped the enemy Titan over it, slammed the Titan on the ground, and unloaded Tracker Rockets into it.

The Legion-class Prime Titan slammed the enemy Titan with the Predator Cannon, first from the right to knock its weapon out of its hands, then from the left to swipe a leg off the ground, before releasing a Power Shot at close range.

"WOW! These new Prime Titans are incredible!" Michael was awestruck.

Adam was suddenly on the comms. "I'm ready and on my way."

Music
Titanfall - OST 55

An IMC Scorch-class Titan dropped in, with the T-203 Thermite Launcher ready to fire.

"Adam, glad you could make it." Michael commended.

"Thanks, but we should focus on the task at hand."

"Right."

A Militia Tone-class Titan attacked Adam, who simply incinerated the missiles that came at him before... unleashing a Scorch Prime execution with his normal Scorch? Adam sent two flaming fists right at the Titan, knocking it down before destroying it with a Flame Core.

"I thought only a Scorch Prime could do that move."

"I watched how they did it, and performed it myself, as you've just seen."

"Whoa."

"[He's good. I'll give him that.]" Sid commended.

"Yeah." Michael turned around, seeing a Militia Legion ready to use a Power Shot on him. Before the Predator Cannon could release the shotgun-like blast of a close range Power Shot, Michael slapped it out of the Legion's hands. The enemy Titan then sent a punch, which he caught in his Ogre-class Titan's hand, putting away the XO-16 Chaingun and performing the execution. Michael ripped the arm off, then yanked out the other arm, and bashed the Legion's hull with it, blowing it up.

"[Target destroyed.]"

"Heh... Still can't get over doing that."

"[Me neither.]"

"So THAT'S what part of my personality yours came out of."

In little time, the Militia were wiped out from Zone 18, and with no survivors for a Drop Ship to retrieve.

"Well done, everyone. That was quick."

Adam approached Michael before disembarking from his Scorch, chassis number: QX-9296. "That battle did go pretty fast, didn't it?"

"Yeah, and that Scorch of yours is pretty impressive."

"[Thank you.]"

"Anytime."

"These new Prime Titans are a force to be reckoned with. What are the Aurora Units working on next?"

AU 242 was listening in the whole time. "I thought you would never ask. We have almost completed these new performance upgrades for Titans, called Aegis Ranks. They will be different for each Titan."

"Impressive." Michael commended, holding back his eagerness. "I look forward to seeing what they do."
