Armored Core Flames of Life
Chapter 08 climbing the wall, reunited but now enemies, huntsmen army coming to Rubicon
The battlefield near the Wall which is occupied by Liberation Front, the Balam Forces along with it's A.C squad, the Redguns are seen trying to get over the Wall but Jaune knew full well this was impossible the reason why is because some fool believed it was a good idea to rush in recklessly and ignore the gun batteries along with cannons that is wiping out most of there forces.
Jaune: grrrr this mission is failure we won't be able to get over the Wall like this!
Nora: leader I just lost Volta's signal and Iguazu just left the battlefield!
Jaune: … that bastard… Ren can you recover Volta's body.
Ren: yes I think I can.
Jaune: good to all Balam forces we're retreating this mission is a failure if any of you still alive escape while you still can there's no need to throw your lives away I'll tell Michigan what has happened here!
Ren: Jaune, I have Volta's body.
Jaune: good, everyone were leaving!
Then Balam and there forces retreated from the wall, the Liberation Front watch them leave, but Flatwell knows that Arqubus will be attacking them real soon and fears they might not last long against them since they lost most of there forces in this assault and he knows they have bigger problems to worry about.
Eren: alright we were able to push them back.
Armin: yeah but we've lost much of our forces though…
Eren: …
Flatwell : he's right.
The two soon heard Flatwell.
Flatwell: we have lost much of our forces when we lost the STRIDER and I fear the wall will fall soon, when Arqubus will be arriving soon… including more problems that will landing on Rubicon as well.
Eren: …
Armin: …
Flatwell: for now we must prepare for battle that is going to happen again also we need to evacuate when as well when we can not be able to defend the Wall no more.
Armin: mister Flatwell where did the other mercenary go off to?
Flatwell: he went off to attack a huntsmen base in order to gather more information on what they might be up to I hope it's not more problems for us…
The scene changes to Walter who is on the line with someone who works with Arqubus.
?: you must be the handler. I presume for the independent mercenary, Raven.
Walter: honor to make your acquaintance. Snail.
Snail: I understand you want to join operation wallclimber? You do realize disposing of some institute garbage hardly qualifies you. Know your place you meager dog sitter. The answer is no.
Walter: I hear your about to send out V.I again must be rough to have one good pilot to rely on.
Snail: oh? Are you suggesting you're your dog can take Freud's place?
Walter: you'll see. just give us the chance.
Snail: … very well then. We will also be deploying … who's been equally brazen of late. Let's see how they both perform.
The call ended on Snail's side until he calls another line.
Snail: send in our assassin to take care of any survivors that might escape from the operation.
The scene changes to 621 who is working on his A.C after he ate some breakfast he is soon given a message from Walter for another mission he goes to the briefing to know he will be doing.
Walter: this is a request from the Arqubus headquarters. They want you to assist with a mission the corporations are calling "operation wallclimber."
The screen then changes to the Arqubus and the Vespers logos as the new voice comes in.
Snail: This is Snail, leader of the Vespers second squad. I will chair the briefing for this mission. This is an operation of my own design-consider it a privilege to participate.
621: …
The screen then shows a big structure and the forces that are there.
Snail: You will be attacking the Wall, a key trading outpost fortified by the Liberation Front. The rabble have formed a defensive line comprised of artillery and MT squads. Break through the line, then make your way to the top of the Wall. There you shall find the JUGGERNAUT, a mobile platform. Destroy it. will also be participating in this mission, infiltrating through a separate route. However…
The screen then shows one of the Redguns that has been destroyed.
Snail: be aware that Balam has also taken a crack at the Wall, only for their vain glorious hopes to be dashed. Do try not to die like a dog out there.
The briefing soon ended and 621 already doesn't like Snail, he then goes to get ready for the mission.
Walter: Your objective is to take Liberation Front fortress – the Wall. Show them your worth the credits, 621.
(Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon. Unbreakable)
621 arrives at the mission area which is now a battlefield as both the Liberation Front and Arqubus forces fight it out.
Walter: commence mission. We'll start by clearing the way for Arqubus. Take out the gatling cannons protecting the city and the BAWS tetrapod MT further in. There's heavy fire coming from up top. 621 keep an eye out for cover.
621: … understood… beginning… mission…
621's A.C then entered the battlefield and flies over the line of defense once he did cannons and the JUGGERNAUT attacks him.
Liberation soldier: you'll never climb the Wall, corporation dogs! Coral abide with Rubicon!
As they fire on him, 621 quickly takes cover by using the building so he won't take too much damage he then proceeded to destroy the cannons on the first line of defense once they were gone he headed to the gatling cannons and destroyed them too.
Walter: Gatling cannons destroyed. The friendly MT squad will take care of the city. You take care of the BAWS tetrapod MT, 621.
621: … I'm… on it...
621 then proceeds towards the tetrapod but not before taking down the cannons and MTs firs once the were taken care of he attacks the tetrapod.
Liberation soldier: forged in ash we stand as one! Die mercenary!
The two started fighting each other but 621 was taking him apart very quickly as this happens the COMS from the Liberation comes in.
Liberation soldier2: city defense squad there's an A.C behind us!
Liberation soldier: ngh… another one?!
The moment it distracted 621 took the chance and destroyed the tetrapod.
Liberation soldier: … corporate… scum…
Walter: BAWS tetrapod MT eliminated. That significantly reduced the threat in the city. Access the bulkhead and break into the wall.
621: understood… hmmm?...
621 soon spotted Volta's A.C and his final message to Iguazu on how Michigan all was looked out for them and how Jaune tries his to make sure all of them make it back, alive if the mission is successful or not almost like they have family then the message ended there.
621: …Volta…
621 feels sympathy for Volta that he found a place to belong to but felt anger at Iguazu for leaving him to die, just as he was about to head into the Wall he is confronted by Eren who is inside his A.C.
Eren: I won't let you in the Wall bastard I'll stop you!
621: …
The two started fighting each other as they shot and slash, 621 gets in close and fires his grenade launcher blasting Eren's A.C and damaging it.
Eren: I'm not done yet!
Just as Eren is about to continue there fight he hears something on the COMs.
Liberation soldier: we need help they've sent another A.C!
Eren: what!? Ngh… don't think this is over we will finish this another time!
Eren hurries to help his comrades against the enemy as for 621 he tries to get inside the Wall but noticed another destroyed A.C it was one that the Liberation Front uses he reads the log as it is something that there leader is talking about the coral but 621 then hurries inside the Wall.
Walter: confirmed. Your inside the Wall. Be prepared for close range combat.
Then one of the Vespers who also made it inside calls.
Rusty: Do you read me? This is RUSTY. You're fast - guess you're sharper than they say I'll have to step up my own game.
Walter: a numbered Vesper – he's an elite. But remember even Balam couldn't crack the Wall. Don't count on him too much.
621: … got it…
He then proceeded to fight through the enemy's until he spots an elevator that will take him up top uses it to go up once he reaches it Walter calls him again.
Walter: 621. I've dispatched a supply sherpa. Make sure you resupply.
Once the sherpa arrived 621 resupply his ammo, then heads to where the enemy is the doors slowly opens and at that moment RUSTY arrived in style in his A.C.
(Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon Steel Haze)
Rusty: you must be Raven. One of the infamous Handler Walter's hounds.
Then the JUGGERNAUT turns its attention to them and prepares to fight them.
Rusty: interesting. Ready to climb the Wall?
The two then began fighting the JUGGERNAUT.
Rusty: that's the JUGGERNAUT a heavy mobile cannon I wouldn't recommend taking it head on. It won't keep up with Steel Haze. I'll distract it while you hit it's blind spot!
621: … got it!...
The two then began attacking the JUGGERNAUT Rusty started getting it's attention while 621 attack from behind as damages it with missiles and rifle shots then with the grenade launcher along with the laser blade damaging it greatly which Rusty is impressed.
Rusty: that's the stuff. Walter knows how to pick' em.
The two continue there attacks on JUGGERNAUT until Rusty is contacted by Snail.
Rusty: this is … understood. Raven I just got an update from Snail at command. We've got enemy reinforcements incoming if I don't intercept them, we're both toast. Hate to leave you like this but you'll have to finish without me!
Rusty then leaves the area while 621 has to deal with the JUGGERNAUT on his own.
Walter: he's gone so much for our decoy.
621: I'll… finish the job…
621 then started attacking JUGGERNAUT at its back and sides since the front is protected by a shield the enemy tries to make sure it doesn't get hit at its weak points but 621 made sure to hit them when ever he saw the chance and chance he did as he keeps attacking it then he finishes it with a laser blade ending the fight and destroying the JUGGERNAUT and completing, Operation wallclimber.
(End of music)
Walter: confirmed JUGGERNAUT destroyed. Operation Wallclimber is a success. That pilot Rusty… it seems he knew who you really are. It won't matter I've taken that contingency into account.
621 then goes to return to base meanwhile with the Liberation Front Forces that are trying to retreat, they are being attacked by an unidentified A.C that hunting them all down Armin is seen having trouble dealing with this enemy until Eren arrives to help them.
Eren: Armin are you okay!?
Armin: be careful Eren that enemy isn't normal!
Eren: don't worry I can handle it.
Then Eren started fighting the unknown A.C but it keeps avoiding his attacks and strikes at him where he least expects it but as Eren fights it the moves it makes looked familiar to him.
Eren: those movements there just like no… it can't be can it?
The enemy damages Eren's A.C and just as it was about to finish him off Flatwell arrived just in time to save him and take him away from the battlefield.
Flatwell: Armin are you alright?
Armin: y-yes sir!
Flatwell: good, we need to go now our comrades has already escaped we must do the same as well!
Armin: yes sir!
The two soon leaves while Eren is being carried away by Flatwell as he screams her name.
Eren: Mikasa! MAKASA!
The three soon escaped from the enemy as quickly as they can, inside the unknown A.C the pilot removed there helmet revealing there face it was an Asian girl with black hair and blue eyes she even has a red scarf around her neck but her expression is lifeless showing no emotion.
The scene changes to Luke who has destroyed the huntsmen base and checks there logs and what he found wasn't good.
Luke: oh crap… the huntsmen army is head here as well.
In deep space an army of ships with the Huntsmen logo are seen heading towards Rubicon then everything fades to black.

To Gojira: that's up to you if you want to make the picture or not as for the anomalies none of that is going to happen.
