Armored Core Flames of Life
Chapter 14 dealing with Dosers, stop the hack, fighting against Raven Branwen
After exploring the Grid, 621 and Ayre is seen resting for a bit and repairing the A.C but 621 knows it's time to make some changes to it and have it upgraded he keeps the head part but changes the body to VP-40S, the arms were now NACHTREHER/46E and finally the legs were now MELANDER C3, he kept the rifle and the pulse blade the same but thinks to the OS upgrades he puts a ZIMMERMAN on the left shoulder and a missile launcher on the right Shoulder which is a BML-G2.
621: … done… all brand new…
Ayre: it seems it was a good idea to make some changes Raven.
621: hmmm…
621 nods to that then he looks at the calendar and realized it's that time of year again one that makes him very sad, something that Ayre herself notices.
Ayre: Raven is something wrong?
621: … Ayre the month is December…
Ayre: ? Is it because of this Christmas that happens in this year?
621: … yes it is… before I became… an augmented human… I had a… happy family… my mom, dad and sister… we were a… good family…until…
Ayre: until… the war started and I assumed they were killed in it…
621: … yes they were… killed… and I wanted revenge… for there… but I… failed so I… became an… augmented human… in to get stronger but… I was captured… and frozen for a… long time… until…
Ayre: Walter found you and recruited you for this mission on Rubicon.
621: he help… me… and teaches me… how to survive… so I owe him…
Ayre : Raven…
621: anyway… you wanted to… know more about… Christmas right…
Ayre : yes I do even though I know it's about loved ones coming together and giving each other presents I'm confused about it's original purpose about a man who sacrifice himself in order to save humanity.
621: … your talking Jesus…
Ayre: him do you know more about him Raven?
621: … Jesus is a man… that is the son of… God, he give up his own life… so we can be forgiven for… our sins and the terrible…things we've done..
Ayre: I see... that's very interesting through out human history there are those who would act selflessly in order to protect what matters those people are quite rare these days.
621: … they are… I hope this answers… your question…
Ayre: it has thank you Raven.
621: … so let's see is there any missions to take on…
Ayre: did forget you have one from Carla if we help her she will aid us in crossing the sea.
621: … oh… let's see the mission she wants me to do…
621 climbs into his A.C and takes a look at the mission that Carla wants him to do then the briefing began.
Carla: ah, my favorite little tourist. About my promise to take you up top… I need a little help cleaning up first.
621:?
The screen showed the damage 621 caused when he went through the grid.
Y'see a certain someone smashed up all my defense hardware… and now I've got rival Dosers muscling in.
The screen then shows the enemy's who 621 will be dealing with.
Carla: It's the Junker Coyotes… we never did get on. Always sniffing around just waiting to bite… Making a mess is one thing, but they're going around after our development data, too. We need to swat the hacking drones they sent before they make off with all my secrets. Yeah, it's pretty low of them, but at least give 'em credit for knowing where the value is. Anyway, did I mention that this all your fault?
621: …oh…
Carla: you can make up for it by keeping my secrets safe. Also one of my assistances will be taking care of mopping up the last of them don't worry you can trust her, just get the job done.
Once the briefing was over 621 prepare to be sent into the mission area.
Ayre: your Handler didn't authorize this sortie either… but we shouldn't miss this chance. I'll support you.
At the same time a white A.C is seen on the Grid it was Jaune who received information that Iguazu who abandoned the mission was spotted here.
Jaune: so Iguazu is here… I'm going to drag your butt back even if you scream or yell about it.
At the same time an unknown A.C is seen heading inside as well.
(Armored Core 20th Anniversary Fallout)
621 arrives at the location where the mission is taking place he quickly got to work taking out the Dosers hacking devices at the same time Carla's assistant is seen taking out many of the Dosers men who are also on the Grid.
?: seriously these guys don't know when to give up? Oh well it's there funeral if they don't know when to quit.
The assistant of Carla continues to mop up the Dosers in her area the scene changes to 621 who has taken care of all the enemy's and hacking devices on his end not only that but he also found one of those strange machines as well that contains a strange sketch of three people working on the machine.
621: that… woman… is that Carla?…
621 decided to ignore it for now since he was now done in this area Carla soon calls him telling him more are on there way 621 quickly heads to where the enemy is, to his surprise it was someone he didn't expect to run into.
Iguazu: huh? You're the freelancer from the dam raid. Here I thought I can earn some extra cash guess I can settle the score at the same time.
The two soon started fighting each Iguazu with such fury and anger at 621 as he shows he really wants to beat him.
621: …Iguazu…
Iguazu: I really owe you at the dam raid I'm going to prove that only got lucky, your gonna die Freelancer!
As the two continue to fight more the unknown machines soon started attacking them.
Iguazu: what the hell?
621: … uh oh…
Iguazu: there all over us help me out or were both dead!
621: … now… you want me to… help you?
Iguazu: just help me you idiot!
621: … okay…
The two quickly started fighting together and out the unknown group of machines once they were done Iguazu points his weapons at 621.
Iguazu: now we can finally be alone your next Freelancer-
?: Iguazu!
The two turned to where the voice came from it was none other than Jaune who has come to bring him back and all Iguazu can of is that he was screwed.
Iguazu: ahhh crap…
Jaune kicks Iguazu's A.C which was already damaged from the fight disabling it.
Jaune: your so in trouble Iguazu your getting exactly what's coming to you.
Iguazu: this is the worse thing to ever happen to me…
Jaune grabs the A.C and the two leaves the area 621 doesn't know what's going on but at least the mission was complete until another A.C is seen heading directly towards him it was black and red it lands in front of him as it gets ready to fight him.
?: you have some nerve taking my name bastard.
621: ?
?: I'm gonna make you wish you didn't mess with the Branwen clan! And me Raven it leader!
621: !?
Ayre: !?
(F-Zero GX Blood Falcon)
The two then started fighting against each other 621 attacks with his rifle, missiles and Zimmerman damaging her A.C, Raven strike back trying to kill 621 with her plasma missiles, Rifle, laser blade and machine gun as she tries to kill him but Carla's assistant comes just in time to save the day.
?: RaD turf I'd advice you leave or you'll be getting a beat down like this!
The unknown Ally then attacks the Branwen clan leader damaging her A.C in the process this angers her knowing full well she can't win against two on one which leaves her no choice.
Raven B: got lucky next time you won't be!
Raven Branwen soon leaves the meaning the mission was finally completed.
621: thank you for… helping me …
?: your welcome and you can call me Primrose at your service now. Then I have to be returning to Carla so I can help her figure out what those machines are bye.
(End of music)
As Primrose leaves, Ayre tells 621 she too will try to decrypt what those machines are and what they want he nods to that and leaves the area.
Meanwhile with Walter he is seen talking to Kal'tsit and Doctor through messages.
Walter so you're the ones who are helping the independent mercenary called Strayed I didn't think Rhodes Island would get involved.
Kal'tsit: we have our reasons Handler Walter and we can take care of ourselves thank you.
Walter: I see you too are planning to cross the sea as well I suppose both mercenaries must work together in order to complete that mission.
Kal'tsit: … you do your part we do ours if we follow that then everything will be alright.
Walter: very well then.
The call soon ended then everything fades to black.
