Armored Core Flames of Life
Chapter 24 Eren, Armin and Mikasa are saved by Rhodes Island, fight second CATAPHRACT, another arms fort
In a ship that's above the planet three out of the seven apostles are what's left of them are seen having a meeting.
Lilo: so must of our people has been wiped out?
Nafe: that's right, it appears we've underestimated what these humans are capable of.
Lilo: your not wrong about that it makes me wonder why the last planet we on didn't tell us about this
Nafe: who knows maybe they just wanted a fresh new start.
Lilo: that would make sense but I one more question why the heck did you choose to kill off our comrades?
Nafe: hey it was the governor who gave the orders to eliminate them and besides they were secretly helping two factions, the Liberation Front and Rhodes Island it's going to be a matter of time until they find a way to avoid us.
Lilo: so they were traitors.
Nafe: that's right and the governor wants them gone she doesn't tolerate betrayal lightly…
Lilo: so true speaking about the governor where is she?
Then the leader of the Apostles stepped into the room.
Zaha: her majesty has gone to the site where the traitors bodies are located.
Lilo: so she's going to neblade them.
Zaha: yes she is I hope that the two of you don't betray her as well.
Lilo and Nafe: we won't…
The scene changes to Eren, Armin and Mikasa still on the run from the Liberation Front which is now in control of Markov.
Armin: Eren… how much longer do you think we can keep running.
Eren: I don't know I would say we fight them but…
Armin: …Eren… you know there are our friends and comrades right?
Eren: I know that it's just… I don't know what to do…
Armin: …
Mikasa: …
As the group wonder what to do in this situation there in the Liberation Front soldiers soon found them and started attacking them.
Liberation soldier: we've found you traitors!
Liberation soldier: you are going to pay for what you did to our father. Dolmayan!
Eren: how many times do I have to tell you! We didn't kill him!
Liberation soldier: yes you did you traitors, we won't believe anything you say murders!
Armin: Eren there's nothing we can do but run!
Mikasa: … Eren… we… run must…
Eren: Mikas…
Soon the three were surrounded by there former allies and just as they thought all hope was lost an A.C from Rhodes Island appears out of nowhere and saves the three and takes out the enemy's.
Strayed: you three okay?
Eren: um yeah…
Armin: who are you?
Strayed: I'm a mercenary of Rhodes island we received an unknown message from someone who wanted to save you three.
Eren: someone sent a message?...!
Strayed: come on I'll lead you to our base where you three will be staying from now on.
Then the three followed Strayed to Rhodes Island base. Meanwhile 621 is seen looking over what missions to do he then spots one from the Liberation Front curious he decided to check it out then the briefing began.
Ayre: this request comes from the Liberation Front. Let's see what it says.
Liberation soldier: Raven. We have a mission we'd like to offer you. The PCA has deployed the CATAPHRACT, a special Forces weapon specialized for ground combat. If we allow the corporations to seize this kind of technology, things will take a dire turn. We want you to deny them the opportunity – destroy the weapon first. The CATAPHRACT is a moving fortress, equipped with almost impenetrable armor. It incorporate a bipedal MT as it core, making it highly versatile threat. The MT core is also it vulnerability – focus your fire there and it can be beaten. You're our best chance. What do you say?
Then the briefing ended, 621 thinks for a minute until he finally decided to take the mission.
Seems the Liberation Front are hoping their rivals will wear each other down… they must be desperate to avoid confronting a triumphant Victor.
621 boards his A.C and prepares to be sent to the mission area, Meanwhile with the Redguns Jaune is seen training in the simulation against enemies so he can be prepared for anything then Michigan called for him and his team.
Michigan: maggots Front and center on the double!
Everyone comes in front of Michigan as talks.
Michigan: listen up we have a mission from Balam they want us to deal with a weapon from the Aliens.
Michigan shows them the target on the screen and how big it is.
Michigan: we don't know what it is but it's without a doubt there own Armsfort and it looks like a dragonfly that fires beams from its wings the only vulnerable weak point is on its back so it can't be hit which means one of you are going to have to be a decoy.
Iguazu: yeah chief let's do that send one of to die against a giant monster that will without a doubt eat us for lunch.
Michigan: G5 you just signed up to be bait!
Iguazu: …
Michigan: Nora and Ren you are to pin point when to climb on to the giants back once you Jaune will ride on and take out its Core all of you make sure to use the buildings as cover from the attacks now dismissed!
The group goes and boards their machines and heads out to the mission area the scene changes back to 621 has arrived at the mission area.
(DEAMON X MACHINEA Solomon)
Walter: commence mission. Destroy the PCA machine CATAPHRACT.
Then the target arrived, the battle soon began 621 avoided the attacks and started attacking the core MT as this happens the pilot of the CATAPHRACT started talking.
PCA pilot: code 23. Enemy A.C confirmed. Now exchanging fire. Raven… priority target for removal. You've got some nerve showing up here. That leak of yours started all of this. Did you really think we would let you get away with it.
621: ?
Ayre: leak? What does he mean?
PCA pilot: you've made Rubicon the factions playground. We had law and order under the PCA's watch!
Walter: it must be your license… something that the real Raven did.
Ayre: he isn't talking about the Branwen Raven either it's like he is talking about someone else.
The battle continues on as the two continue to fight each 621 keeps attacking the core part as it damages the CATAPHRACT more.
PCA pilot: code 44. Send me what you've got on priority target Raven. The combat simulation has misled me. Who are you! Code 18. Whoever this is it's not Raven. Regardless they're as much a threat to the PCA if not more. I don't know who you are but your dead! We won't let another Fire Ibis happen again not by you or the other factions, we won't let this planet end up like the Kingdom of Atlas!
621: Atlas?...
Ayre: he must've be talking about the kingdom that got destroyed some years ago he must be a survivor… Raven what did you do?
621: I … have no idea… what's he… is talking about… Ayre…
Walter: stay focused 621.
621: roger…
The fight continues on until 621 fires a grenade at core then he finishes it with a pulse blade ending the fight.
PCA pilot: this… isn't… over… Code 5… sending log… request verification…
Walter: the CATAPHRACT has been destroyed. Mission accomplished…. About this "Raven" character. Borrowed licenses are always trouble.
Ayre: … what are you and Walter really doing here on Rubicon?
621: … I'll tell you when… I'm ready Ayre…
Ayre: …
(End of music)
Then 621 leaves the battlefield knowing that the mission is complete the scene changes to a different area where Jaune and his team are seen arriving in the mission area where the target there supposed to destroy is located.
Jaune: it should be around here somewhere.
Iguazu: are we sure it's here?
Ren: it should be.
Nora: I'm curious about how big it is.
Iguazu: how big are we talking?
Then a rumbling is heard and screech as well the four looked up and saw there target it was really, really big.
(Armored Core For Answer Great wall)
Jaune: uh …
Iguazu: are you kidding me!
Nora: wow… it really is big… and it does look like a dragonfly!
Ren: yes… yes it does…
Jaune: remember it's weak point is on its back one of us has to get on it and destroy its weak point.
The group scattered as they try to get its attention and luckily someone did get its attention and it was none other than Iguazu who unfortunately got its attention even if he didn't want to be bait.
Iguazu: seriously! I didn't want to be the bait!
Nora: didn't expect that…
Ren: it doesn't matter one of us has to get on it's back.
Jaune: right lets go!
The three heads towards the target while avoiding the attacks its letting out Jaune soon landed on it's back but the other two don't make it so they decide to play decoy in order to assist Iguazu so that none of them die Jaune then proceeded to the weak point of the target.
Meanwhile on the ground Iguazu, Ren and Nora are busy avoiding the attacks from the giant alien Armsfort as it tries to kill them.
Iguazu: if I survive this I'm punching Michigan in the face!
Nora: you do realize he might punch you first right.
Iguazu: does not matter.
Ren: you won't get the chance if we end up dead!
The three continue to distract the enemy as much as possible but then something saves them it was Mihaly whose a member of the PCA in his A.C assisting them.
Iguazu: why is the PCA helping us?
Nora: doesn't matter I'll take any help right now… hurry up leader!
Jaune is seen now getting closer to the core of the Armsfort as it fires many lasers at him however he was now close enough then he plunged his pulse blade into the core this in turn causes the Armsfort to start exploding in the inside Jaune pushes his machine to it's limits and escaped as the Alien Armsfort exploded ending the fight.
(End of music)
Jaune: mission complete, huh isn't that?
Mihaly: huh so you're the leader huh you still have a lot to learn.
Then PCA A.C leave the area Jaune doesn't say anything but goes to check is everyone okay.
Jaune: is everyone alright?
Iguazu: you took your sweet time.
Jaune: sorry there was a lot enemies that tried to kill me in there.
Iguazu: … whatever as long as the mission is done I can finally take a nap.
Nora: I don't want to agree with him but want a rest to.
Ren: same here.
Jaune: your all not the only one let's go the mission is complete its time to head back to base.
The Redguns soon leaves the area then the scene changes to Eren, Armin and Mikasa arriving at Rhodes Island once inside they are greeted by the operators, doctor, Kal'tsit and everyone else but when Armin saw Exusiai and noticed her angel wings he said something that confused everyone.
Armin: can you be my angel.
Exusiai: huh?
Everyone: what?
The scene changes to the destroyed PCA base where the governor who is the true leader of the Apostles is seen her appearance is similar to Stella however her hair is white and her eyes pink and she has already eaten the body of the traitor who has betrayed them but noticed the other A.C is missing this pisses her off.
?: so one more of the traitors has escaped and these humans are not dropping dead like the ones on the last planet… okay it looks I'm going to have to take part in this and get it over with…
The governor transports away then everything fades to black.

Now on to the reviews.
To Gojira: thank you also I have request to ask can you do pictures of each factions and there members its up to you to decide if you want to do them or not that's all I ask.
MaxHD2490: yes the noise is because of Ayre remember Yang had to get fourth generation augmentation in order to pay for debt also no she isn't going to meet Raven or her mom and she has already faced 621.
Blagoj Pejov1: you are right things are going to get worse if Markov gets his hands on the Coral but he's going to realize getting to the convergence is not as easy as he thinks it is.
Alright that is all I hope you all liked this Chapter and everything that happened take care and be safe bye.
