Armored Core Flames of Life
Chapter 12 meeting a mysterious girl with blue eyes, the watch point contact with new life, signs of the flames returning
In a private room Walter is seen talking to someone who is someone he knows.
?: long time no see Walter looking good for change. I see you got a new augmented human. What happened to 617 and the rest?
Walter: there jobs. They did what it took to get us here.
?: … huh. So how's the newcomer doing?
Walter: adequately. But Gen Four augmentation can be unstable. We need to choose our battles. … how are things on your end?
?: I found the data our "friends" left behind. There's something promising in the Watchpoint.
Walter: I see I'll make sure to check it out.
?: also Walter, one of my people discovered BAWS has a Coral well but it's small so it's nothing to worry about but a lot of factions are coming to Rubicon things are going to worse real soon.
Walter: …
The scene changes to Eren and Armin telling Flatwell what they found at the BAWS arsenal.
Flatwell: so everyone has been killed at the arsenal by an unknown A.C.
Armin: yeah that's right and we don't even know who they work for.
Eren: not only that but we fought some strange machines that can go invisible too.
Flatwell: this is strange indeed especially these unknown enemies as well you two can go on ahead and take a break you've earned it.
Eren: but sir-
Flatwell: listen Eren I know you want to go after the enemy but you must also be calm on your decisions but knowing you want to fight them I think you should train by fighting in the arena.
Eren: sir- wait the arena?
Flatwell: ah! You two were possibly weren't told about it well the arena allows you to face off against other A.C pilots there just digital not the real ones and you both got registered somehow.
Armin: so we fight these other pilots to see how far we can go?
Flatwell: that's also it will show you the enemy's load out and build but remember they aren't the real one so you won't know what the actual person would do alright be on your way and take a break you've earned it.
Flatwell leaves the two alone Eren decide to take a look at this arena Flatwell is talking about to see if it can help him not just for training but to also find a save Mikasa.
The scene changes to Rhodes Island arriving in a city to get some supplies for there long journey, Strayed is seen exploring the city he sees a lot of people having a hard time dealing with the corporations and other factions that are on Rubicon he knows that more danger is coming to Rubicon and its going to make things worse for everyone as he continues exploring he spots a girl with black hair in twin ponytails and wears a black jacket with a white star on the back the girl noticed Strayed and turns see him the moment he saw her eyes which were blue he knew immediately she isn't a human being but an alien the girl then walks away.
Strayed: who was that?... I'd better go return to Rhodes Island.
At the same time the mysterious girl meets up with another girl she to has a black jacket, her hair is gray and eyes yellow and just like the other one she too isn't human.
?: Stella where have you been?
Stella: sorry Nana, I was looking around the city to see what it was like and also see a lot of people too since…
Nana: I know but now we can't stay here we have to keep moving let's hurry and find Rothcall so we can finally leave.
Stella: right…
The scene changes to 621 eating his lunch after completing the mission he was on last time, then he received a message from Walter.
Walter: 621 there's another for you. This one's not from the corporations or the Liberation Front you'll see once you see the briefing.
621: …
621 goes and gets suit up once he was ready he boards his machine to see what the mission is.
Walter: this is a rather personal request… from a friend of mine.
The screen then shows the area where 621 will be attacking.
Walter: it concerns a certain Facility – a Watchpoint. Once, it regulated the underground flow of Coral. Now it serves to monitor the dormant veins. I want you to attack it.
621: …?
Walter: your objective will be to destroy the sensor valve at its core. The Watchpoint is kept secure by SG, the planetside PCA force… which means it's too dangerous for the corporations to be seen there. In other words, we're flying strictly solo on this one.
The briefing was over 621 then gets ready to be sent into the mission area.
Walter: … you'll be going in the cover of darkness. Be ready for anything.
Then he is sent into the area.
Walter: it' go time 621. Don't worry. Not even the PCA would anticipate a solo independent mercenary. Get in there and get to work.
(Project Wingman Midnight Light)
621 is then dropped down and the mission began he started attacking the PCA forces taking them down one by one they try to call for backup but Walter made sure they can't as 621 takes them down he spots a destroyed A.C belonging to an independent mercenary it's logs talks about the corporations and what there doing.
He continues on his mission until he finds another destroyed machine and it tells about a mutation of something and a third factor of something.
621: … mutation… third factor… trigger…
621 decided not to worry about that right he continues on his mission taking down more of the enemy until he found where his target is.
Walter: do you see that? That's the Watchpoint's control center. The targets inside. Make your way in.
When 621 was getting closer to the target he is confronted by an unknown A.C that appears to be guarding it.
(Armored Core 4 Mr. Adam)
?: attacking a Watchpoint..? you're incorrigible, Handler Walter. How many more of your dogs must I kill before you learn?
Walter: you… 621 watch out behind you!
621: ...?!
Then unknown machines attacks 621 who avoided it then started taking them out.
?: Handler Walter… I'll be coming for you next. First the dog.
Walter: C1-249… "Sulla." He's an independent mercenary who survived first Gen augmentation.
The unknown machines spoke in encrypted communications making it impossible to find out what there mission is.
Walter: encrypted communications he must be controlling them to.
Sulla: what happened to 629 and 620 died? Which ones did I kill I wonder.
Walter: what tapped you off Sulla.
Sulla: don't make this any harder for me Walter you and your dog aren't welcome here.
621 proceed to destroy the four unknown enemies once they were done he then started attacking Sulla relentlessly.
Sulla: the last one I took down was good but this one has the scent of danger better to dispose of you right now.
The two continue to fight against each other but 621 gains the upper hand and slashes him with the pulse blade and fires a grenade launcher blasting Sulla ending the fight.
Sulla: Handler Walter… forget about the Hound…
Walter: confirmed enemy A.C destroyed. Forget about him 621 you did good today. Back to the mission, infiltrate the facility and destroy the target.
(End of music)
621 goes inside the facility the target he spots it down the center.
Walter: …there. Destroy the device in the center.
621: …understood…
621 do what he is told as he destroyed the device once gone the facility soon started powering down. But then the ground started to shake.
Walter: Wait… No! 621 Get out there!
621: !?
But it was too late as 621 is engulfed in a Coral Surge as he is then knocked out and loses consciousness along with losing communication with Walter.
(Dot Hack Game Aura)
621 finds himself falling into deep darkness unable to move or do anything until he hears a voice of a female and sees a red light.
?: who are you?
621: ?
?: an older type of augmented human fourth generation. Have we made contact?
621: … contact? Who are you…
?: I am Ayre – a Rubiconian. Please, you must wake up. Before your consciousness… is forever scattered in the Coral flow.
Then a hand grabbed 621 and guides him back to his body as this happens he sees the woman her hair is white and her eyes are red, her body seems to be covered by red particles he soon sees his body he enters it then the A.C soon leaves the destroyed facility.
Once outside 621 slowly starts to regain consciousness as his COMS confirms he is alive.
COMS: Augmented human C4-621…Vital signs confirmed. Disabling autopilot. Establishing comms link with handler-
The coms is soon cut off as an unknown craft approaches.
(Armored Core 6 Balteuse)
Ayre: Raven. I've identified an approaching enemy.
The unknown machine then confronts 621 and creates a barrier and is ready to attack him.
Ayre: I'll synchronize with your brain waves… and maintain contact to support you.
Then they started fighting each other.
Ayre: main system activating combat mode.
621 started firing his shots and missiles at the enemy but it doesn't get through do to the pulse armor it has on it.
Ayre: … I've looked into the enemy craft. It's peace keeping craft Balteuse. It's protected by a pulse armor but it can be taken down if you keep attacking it.
621 does just that he keeps attacking it then fires a grenade launcher at it the pulse shield was then down.
Ayre: pulse armor down. Now's your chance Raven.
621: … understood…
621 attack with the pulse blade and missiles damaging the the machine greatly he continues to attack but Ayre noticed it gathering up energy she warns him.
Ayre: the waves are intensifying Raven watch out!
621 gets away from it as it releases an assault armor then Balteuse starts attacking with flamethrower which hits 621 but continues to fight on damaging it even as it fires missiles and Flames including a grenade launcher at him even though 621's A.C has taken some damage he continues to attack it.
Ayre: it can't take much.
621: …this will end it!...
621 slash at Balteuse greatly damaging it then finishes it with a grenade launcher blasting it then Balteuse exploded.
*KABOOM!*
(End of music)
Ayre: … enemy systems down. It's silent.
621: … it's finally over…
Ayre: … Raven. You need rest. But a, warning.
Then something is seen in the sky above him and possibly covering all of Rubicon.
Ayre: the Coral Surge you were swapped up in that was just a glimpse. A premonition of the storm of flame that will burn Rubicon.
621: … another fire of Ibis…
All around Rubicon everyone saw the sky that seems to be on fire as if it's a sign that a second fire of ibis that will burn this planet or this system as this war for the Coral continues.

That's another Chapter and Arc done Walter talks with someone he knows, Strayed see a mysterious girl who isn't human 621 takes a mission for Walter and attacks the Watchpoint, fights Sulla then meets Ayre, finally fights Balteuse. Now on to the reviews.
To Gojira: there is a chance that some of his siblings will see that all we can do is hope.
To Xs0nicblAdeX: your so right about that the bitter sweet ending sort of shows those who are effected by the aftermath of wars most Gundam stories or other shows this and tells us there is no happy ending for everyone and In this story you could say that Ruby and Ichika are going to feel the bitter pain of the consequences of there actions one that brought destruction wherever she went without knowing it, the other who is ignorant of what was truly happening as for the true ending of this story I won't spoil it but you can say that something is going to be different.
Death by chair: I'm glad you liked it.
Okay that is all I hope you all liked this Chapter and everything that happened alright then I'll be going now take care and be safe bye.
