Armored Core Flames of Life

Chapter 03 Fight and survive, the assassin of Arqubus, rebel from earth

After completing a mission from Balam 621 was contacted by ALLMIND telling him he now has access to the parts shop which means he can get new equipment for his A.C it also tells him about the loghunt and most wanted hunts for certain individuals ALLMIND also tells him he gets rewards when taking down those targets the message then ends, 621 then looks at the files of those who has a bounties on them it goes from A.C pilots to I.S pilots and finally to Huntsmen and huntresses after seeing it he looks into the request from Arqubus.

Walter: I've got a job for you 621. It's an open call from the Arqubus Group, one of the extraplanetary corporate forces.

?: To all independent mercenaries – this request comes from Schneider of the Arqubus Group.

The screen shows the two Groups logos it then shows the mission Area and the enemy's 621 will be facing.

?: The operation will take place in Grid 135, Southern Belius. Your objective is to destroy the an MT squad sent by Dafeng, a Balam company - and competitor. Grid 135 is a key foothold in Arqubus's efforts to conduct a Coral survey in the contaminated city. You the independent mercenaries, are the key to maintaining our lead in the Coral survey race. We also detected huntsmen and huntresses there as well if you encounter them eliminate them. The Arqubus Group looks forward to new of your success. Briefing over and happy hunting.

Once the briefing was over 621 prepares to begin the mission.

Walter: you got ID. Now you need a rep. Get there attention 621.

Then 621 is sent to the mission area once he arrived the mission began.

Walter: commence mission. Wipe out the Dafeng MT squad along with the huntsmen and huntresses .

621: … understood…

(Armored Core For Answer Scorcher)

621's A.C enters the Grid then he encounters the MT squad of Dafeng but no sign of the other targets.

Dafeng soldier: enemy attack one A.C!

Dafeng soldier2: looks like Arqubus hired some muscle.

Dafeng soldier3: an independent mercenary huh … at least they didn't send the Vespers.

Dafeng soldier4: intercepting!

Then the battle started 621 then begins attacking them with no mercy.

Walter: there just mass produce MT's wipe them out 621.

621 then did what he was told and started taking down the enemy many of Dafeng squad was getting wiped out one by one.

Dafeng soldier: this A.C pilot is sharp.

Dafeng soldier2: focus your fire!

621 continues his attack as the enemy gets waddled down as they lose more of there comrades.

Dafeng solder: that merc's tearing through us!

Dafeng soldier2: dammit looks like Arqubus scored big time!

Walter: only a few targets left. 621 wait I'm picking up more enemy signatures just reinforcements eliminate them.

Just as he was about to 621 felt someone was watching him from somewhere he goes to find it he heads to the other part of the area where he crashed landed into Rubicon he looks around until he encounters an unknown machine.

Walter: what is that I can't identify it destroy it 621.

621: … eliminating …

621 takes out the unknown machine but he does wonder what it was and doing Walter then tells him to get back to work since it's nothing to worry about, 621 did as he was told and continued on attacking the last of the Dafeng squad until there were finally wiped out.

Dafeng: commander Michigan … needs … to know…

Just as the mission was finally over two piloted by huntsmen appeared.

Huntsmen: your not taking us down mercenary!

Huntress: we fight for justice and love get ready to be punished for your crimes!

621: targets … spotted … eliminate…

The three started fighting the huntsmen fires there weapons at 621 who dodges them Walter calls in.

Walter: hmmm it looks like these two are rookies and there first time piloting an A.C take them down.

621 proceed to take the two huntsmen down and just like Walter said the two are complete rookies do to how there piloting there machines the male was first to be taken.

Huntsmen: noooo! … I just became a … huntsmen!

The huntress screams as she just saw her partner die in front of her but sadly for her she was going to join him even though the two had aura it didn't make them invisible in thee end they were just people soon the huntress was killed to as 621 runs his blade through the cockpit killing the pilot.

Huntress: your a monster … all of you, mercenaries …

Walter: confirmed all enemies eliminated return to base 621

621 leaves the area with a mission complete.

Meanwhile in a different location an A.C is seen on top of a hill looking down at a base where most of the I.S pilots are stationed the A.C had the Arqubus logo showing who it is with.

?: now begin the mission wipe them out leave no survivors.

?A.C pilot: beginning mission terminating all targets.

The A.C attacks the base wiping everything killing the pilots before they can summon there I.S's then there was only one pilot left who is the commander and former huntress.

Huntress: you killed them … you will pay?

The huntress summons her I.S and attacks the A.C the two fight each A.C pilot fires its laser hand gun and shoot gun at the former Huntress which is hurting her greatly the pilot the fires plasma missiles damaging the I.S and hurting the huntress more knowing she won't last long and her aura are about to hit zero she charged at enemy as a last ditch effort to destroy her enemy but it was all in vain as the A.C actives a pulse shield to protect itself.

Huntress: no …

?A.C pilot: eliminate.

*Bang!*

(End of music)

A.C pilot kills the former Huntress then it leaves the burning base, leaving no survivors completing it's mission and returning to base the scene changes to outer space where a ship is seen approaching Rubicon.

?: we're almost to Rubicon now.

?male: good that means we've made it in time we have to warn the Liberation Front Forces quickly.

?: yeah we to tell them quickly … Luke.

Then as ship approaches Rubicon everything fades to black.

End of Chapter 03 Fight and survive, the assassin of Arqubus, rebel from earth

That's another Chapter done I hope you all liked what happened in this Chapter and the introduction of the Huntsmen and huntresses from Remnant who uses both the A.C and I.S but what is the situation on remnant and why isn't there any Atlas soldiers around that will be explain as the story continues on now to the reviews.

Gojira: yup it's a completely different story no connections to my Mega Man ZX series hope you understand.

To Kitsune of white: this Luke is similar to the one from the series but is not the same one but still hates his family and don't worry Jaune and his team are not with the Huntsmen anymore why I can't say that would be spoiling.

To MAXHD2490: The I.S is strong like any other mechs but like all professionals say it all comes down to the pilot to bring that potential of what the machine can do out A.C and others like it goes through war and conflict this turns the pilots to true masters and soldiers of the battlefield, unfortunately the I.S pilots never went through that transformation or knows how terrible war is then the other mecha series that takes it seriously and also the I.S world is Tabane's plaything to do as she wishes but when they experienced there first war and lost badly the only ones who could be professionals are Chifuyu, Maya and possibly rankers including Phantom task perhaps even Ichika and his friends but this is Armored Core there's a chance none of them are coming back alive.

Okay everyone that is all I hope you all have a nice day take care bye and I'll see you next time.
