Armored Core Flames of Life
Chapter 19 Stella, Nana and Rothcall joins Rhodes Island, Sabotaging the tunnel, a visit to the arena
(Nier automata a beautiful song)
A few days has passed since 621 help took a mission from Liberation Front and got help from one of there pilots in taking down a Vesper plus Alien as well he then gets a message from ALLMIND telling he is allowed to participate in the D rank arena once the Message ended 621 began participating in the next arena, his first opponent is G3 Wu Huahai and his A.C LILONG his file reads that he is a con artist and criminal he even ran a pharmacy operation lead to a dangerous disease, it was Nile whose now part of the Redguns who shut him down.
621: … it appears that Redguns… has criminals… and gamblers…
Ayre: your right Raven but most of them are good people and are interesting.
621 battles against Wu and defeated him, he moves on to his next opponent who is called Ring Freddie and his A.C CANDLE RING and is a personal attendant to Dolmayan and is distant from his comrades the file reads he entered the battlefield so that the father wouldn't be alone however this shows he relays on Dolmayan for guidance far to much. 621 fights him it was a bit difficult but was able to defeat him his next opponent is one of the Vespers named V.V Hawkins and his A.C RECONFIG his file reads that he is a Generation Seven and has lost a lot of colleges and subordinates in order to revolutionize the augmentation so that the old accidents of the old generation does not happen again. 621 then began fighting him the was easy and wasn't too hard he then moves on to his next opponent.
621: his comrades sacrifice… themselves so the next-generation… doesn't have to… suffer the same vital accidents… the old generation has…
Ayre: looks like it and it must've been very hard for him.
The next opponent was Iguazu someone 621 don't get along with but is able to tolerate him the file says he is a backstreet Gambler and lost greatly and was forced to undergone fourth generation augmentation in order to pay his debts he joined the Redguns and got in a fight against Michigan whom gave him a beat down which caused him to not be the same again and now he is part of another squad lead by a former huntsmen. 621 boots up the virtual reality simulator and started fighting against Iguazu which he was able to defeat, he then goes to his next opponent who's another Redgun member and it's only Female pilot named Nora and her A.C Lighting her file reads that she used to be a huntress from beacon academy which is on a planet known as Remnant she is partners with Ren and Jaune there reasons for leaving the academy along with quitting as Huntsmen and huntress would be connected to change of behavior with there follow huntsmen.
Ayre: Raven I looked into the history of Remnant it appears they don't have a proper military or government, only the huntsmen I'm starting to believe something has happened some years back not only that but the members of the PCA and the Crimson Squadron all seems to have a grudge against them what that is I don't know.
621: … I have a bad feeling about this as well…
621 then fights her, the battle was tough since her build uses energy base weapons but he was able to defeat her his next opponent is Armin whose a member of the Liberation Front and his A.C Scholar his file reads that he joined the Liberation Front along side his friend Eren in order to protect there home he enjoys reading books and learning new things. 621 then began a fight against Armin, even though he looked like a rookie he was good opponent which 621 respects even after defeating him.
621: … he's… interesting…
Ayre: he sure is I if he's thinking about being an historian one day.
The next opponent is Exusiai who is from a planet known as Terra and a member of Rhodes island her A.C Bullet Angle her file reads that she's part of the group that put an end to the terror that Reunion has caused but why her Group is on Rubicon is unknown. 621 then began fighting against Exusiai which was much harder then one expected since her build uses Guns along with a song bird it was hard but he was barely able to defeat her and has a feeling whoever faces her would be riddled with bullet holes the next opponent is a huntress from Remnant named Yang and her A.C Bumblebee her file reads that she is one of the best on Remnant however she seems to have a habit of causing trouble wherever she goes when she got caught a bunch of times she fell into debt and had to pay for it sadly her girlfriend Blake chose not to help her this time thus she was forced to get forth gen augmentation in order to pay for it. 621 then began fighting Yang her A.C appears to be focused on close range combat which would explain the two Zimmermans she has equipped allowing with a power bunker but he easily defeated her after all those are only effective if you get close to the enemy.
621: that person Exusiai seems to be… very skilled with guns… and possibly other gun arms…
Ayre: your right Raven, as for Yang she seems too reckless and not thinking before she leaps that would without a doubt get her or others in danger or killed.
621 then moves on to his final opponent named Rokumonsen and his A.C SHINOBI his file reads he is an independent mercenary and is interested in ninjas and kabuki which are from Japan's past which is on earth, he was saved by Ziyi who offered him food and shelter and since then he has sworn to protect her and her comrades from harm. 621 then began fighting Rokumonsen his fighting style is full trickery which made the fight difficult to handle but he was finally able to defeat him thus ending the D rank arena.
(End of music)
ALLMIND: This concludes D-Rank evaluation. Well done.
After the D – Rank arena was completed 621 contacted by ALLMIND.
ALLMIND: Congratulations. You have surpassed Rank D. We hope that our aid has helped push you to achieve greater things. ALLMIND exists for all mercenaries.
Then the message ended, 621 then goes to see is there any missions for him to take and there appears to be one available from Balam he opens it up then the briefing soon started.
Walter: Got a job for you, 621. The Balam group sent us a request.
The screen then shows whose explaining the mission and where it will take place.
G6Red: attention, G13 Raven! This request comes from affiliate, Dafeng. We will be conducting a diversionary operation to attract the PCA's attention. You are to report to the Engebret Tunnel in the Central Ice field. It's a derelict Watchpoint, slated for restoration by the PCA in the near future. Infiltrate the tunnel, then find and destroy there sensor that they're planning to repair. The objective is to distract the PCA and divert forces from there local base. Briefing over were counting on you G13!
Then the briefing ended 621 then prepares to be sent to the mission area.
Walter: I don't think Dafeng appreciate your true value. I'll talk to them.
The scene changes to Rhodes Island where Strayed is seen toning his machine for any up coming missions he would have to take sooner or later, once in while Kal'tsit would call for him to make sure he is OK he understands why though he is after all one of the old generation augmented humans a gen three even though it's not shown he is only able to process information slowly in order to understand things better and he needs a much better augmentation to fix him up which costs a lot of money something that Rhodes Island doesn't have so has to work extremely hard for it if he wants to be normal again as he works he sees many operators heading in one direction.
Strayed: what's going on?
Doctor: oh Strayed we have some new people joining our group.
Strayed: new people?
Doctor: yup you want to go see them?
Strayed: hmmm… might as well I don't have any missions to do or anything.
Strayed walks with Doctor in order to see the new arrivals once the two arrived and saw them Strayed immediately recognized one of them but the other two were different one was man who is without a doubt human but the other one is definitely not human.
Doctor: is something wrong Strayed?
Strayed: doctor there's something you know those two girls there not human.
Doctor: what do you mean we have some people who aren't human too who work here.
Strayed: no what I mean is those two are completely different from anyone either on Rubicon other planets.
Doctor: what do you mean Strayed?
Strayed: those two, doctor are Aliens…
When he heard those words Doctor looked back at the two girls and there eyes said it all they are definitely aliens but why is a human with them this made them feel that Kal'tsit needs to know about this immediately.
(Metroid prime Phendrana Drifts)
The scene changes back to 621 whose arrived at the mission area and started attacking the PCA and then entered the tunnel.
Walter: commence mission. Destroy the old sensor at the end of the underground tunnel. This place may be derelict, but it won't be left undefended. Keep your guard up, 621.
621: … understood…
Once he was down below 621 started attacking the PCA forces who was surprised by the attack as they get wiped out, 621 continued further inside in order to find the target, once he was further inside 621 finds himself in what appears to be an underground cavern.
Ayre: watch your step. There's a faint Coral response coming from the bottom – it must be linked to an underground vein.
As he goes deeper he is called by G6Red.
G6Red: G13! Come in, Raven! PCA forces are heading your way earlier than planned. Make sure they stay busy – you know what to do. Over and out!
Walter: you heard him 621. Destroy the target and get out of there.
621: understood…
621 continues on as he takes out more of the PCA forces as he got deeper he found the target he's supposed to destroy which is protected by a barrier.
Walter: that's the target. It's protected by a basic shield – just hit it from the inside.
621 goes through the shield and destroys the target.
Walter: target destroyed. Mission accomplished.
Once the target has been destroyed something unexpected happens as a Coral Surge erupted from the ground as it covers the cavern.
Ayre: … Raven, wait. The Coral response is getting stronger…!
621: … uh oh…
621 then quickly try to escape from the cavern.
Walter: a Coral Surge!? That shouldn't have been enough to – 621 pull out now!
621 quickly tries to escape from the Surge as builds up more and more as this happens PCA forces arrived but are too caught in the Coral then G6 Red calls but Walter shuts that down as escaping is much more important right now as everything is almost consumed by Coral many enemies tries to stop but he just ignore them and heads up he soon sees the exit and escapes as the tunnel is completely destroyed and consumed in Coral.
Walter: you made it somehow… this job is finished. Head back and rest 621.
Ayre: …one more misstep and that Coral Surge would have swallowed you whole. Raven must you always put your life on the line?
621: … sorry "Ayre" I'll be more careful next time.
Then 621 leaves the area now returning to base as this happens Walter is contacted by Carla.
Carla: How's it going. Walter?
Walter: hard to say. 621's still performing well, but I doubt the voices have gone away. At any rate, whatever the voices are doesn't seem to be doing any harm … for now.
Carla: … I was asking about you Walter, but whatever. Bigger things the Coral you better find turns out our friends fears were warranted. Don't spend too long dealing with the PCA, Walter. Clocks ticking.
Once 621 returned to base he received two messages one is from G6Red which congratulates him for completing the mission, the other one is from ALLMIND say that Rank C arena is now Available for use.
But 621 decided to rest for a bit first and gets some sleep meanwhile at Rhodes Island Strayed and the doctor are seen talking to Kal'tsit about there new arrivals.
Kal'tsit: you are right about them Strayed those two are definitely aliens.
Strayed: what do you want to do about them?
Kal'tsit: nothing for now but be careful with the girl that has gray hair and yellow eyes she is hiding something make sure everyone is on guard in case she does something.
Doctor: so we do nothing about the other one with black haired girl or the other guy.
Kal'tsit: there's nothing to worry about the man whose named Rothcall as for the girl whose name is Stella as long as you treat her as a normal person everything be just be careful of thee other one whose name is … Nana I have a feeling she knows what has happened to the planet that they came from.
Everyone is silent and agreed to the plan and to be on guard for what Nana is hiding then everything fades to black.

That's another Chapter done 621 complete the D rank arena and completed a mission from Balam, Rhodes Island gets new members but are suspicious of Nana for unknown reasons now on to the reviews.
To Xs0nicblAdeX: your right Mikasa is without a doubt a candidate for ALLMIND to use. And she along with older augmented humans one through four the only generation that can hear the Coral.
MaxHD2490: yeah Mikasa really gotten worse she can't even talk properly only barely. As for Swinburne continue to read.

Deal nope!
The Vesper known as Swinburne begs for his life in front of 621.
Swinburne: w-what! You realize I lead the Vespers 7th squad… which means I hold purse strings any transaction goes through me… let me go and you'll still come out on top understand?
621: …okay…
Swinburne: your really are-
Then 621 shoots him.
