Armored Core Flames of Life
Chapter 25 battle at the spaceport, the emergence of the Ice worm
On the Rhodes Island ship Eren and his friends are being showed the whole ship along with where everyone works and everything.
Armin: so what made Rhodes Island come to Rubicon?
Strayed: that I can't explain because I too was experimented on by Arqubus just like your friend.
Eren: you mean Mikasa don't you.
Strayed: yes her.
Armin: so your working with them so you can get your burn-in removed too?
Strayed: yes and it costs a lot of money.
Eren: we kind of understand but I have one question.
Strayed: what is it?
Eren points to the girl with black hair and blue eyes eating a lot of food.
Eren: how is it that girl can eat that much food! Not only that but she along with the other one doesn't seem human.
Strayed: so you noticed huh, well your right those two are definitely not human but the man named Rothcall is human.
Armin: I have a question are those guys pilots?
Strayed: Stella and Nana are pilots, Rothcall isn't and yes the two have there own along with earning their stay.
Eren: I see … so whose the leader of the group?
Strayed: I'd say doctor but it's actually Kal'tsit.
Armin: Kal'tsit?
Strayed: she's the green haired lynx terrain that keeps things under control here, word of warning what ever you do, do not piss her off you'll regret it.
The group nodded quickly not wanting to know what will happen they continue to look around the base until they saw Luke relaxing after he was done with his mission.
Armin: Luke? You work for them now?
Luke: surprised to see me huh? Well at least you three escaped as well you guys should really think Flatwell for coming up with a plan for you three's escape.
Eren: I knew it, I knew Flatwell knows to not trust Markov.
Luke: yup he knew and so did I. Maggie is out looking for any information on Markov, but something tells I'm not going to like what she finds about him.
Strayed: getting that feeling to by the way how's the third Alien doing?
Eren: what there's another one here?
Luke: don't worry she chose to defect from her allies the reason why we're going to have to wait until she recovers also Kal'tsit is in a meeting with one of corporations right now.
Strayed: she is which one?
Luke: the most dangerous of the bunch.
In another room Kal'tsit and is seen in a meeting with one of Arqubus's Vespers along with handler Walter whose also in the meeting with Snail.
Snail: you again? I'm a busy man. Far too busy for the likes of you. And you also terrain.
Walter: … so I hear. Must be a tough time to be the Vespers deputy commander.
Snail: get to the point.
Walter: the plan to raid the PCA. You're going need more pawns on the board.
Snail: … of course. You're here to hawk your services again. Very well. I'll consider that mutt of yours part of the effort along with Rhodes Islands den of beasts as well.
Walter: one more thing… show my hound some respect along with Rhodes Islands own operators. Gen four's as good a pedigree as any other.
Kal'tsit: the same goes for our gen two and operators don't call them beasts.
Once the meeting was over Kal'tsit steps out of the room and meets up with everyone else.
Kal'tsit: everyone is to come to the meeting room for a joint mission.
Everyone was confused about what's going on but decided to see what the mission is going to be about.
Meanwhile with 621 who is resting for a bit he gets a message from Walter about a mission for him he goes and checks it out to see what's it about and to hid surprise it was an operation to attack the PCA spaceport he starts up the briefing to know more about the operation.
Rusty: hey there, buddy. Got a request from Arqubus for you. Here's the briefing from my CO, who came with the plan.
And to 621 whose not surprised by who made this plan Snail one of the Vespers soon started talking.
This is Snail. I shall brief you on the operation. You will be under my direct authority. Consider it a rare privilege.
621: … whatever…
Snail: we will conduct simultaneous surprise raids on two PCA bases. One is the Harlow communication base, the relay for comms between enemy squads. The second is former Bertram Spaceport, seized by PCA for its suppression fleet. Rusty will be dispatched to hand to handle the Harlov base. His objective will be disable the network and prevent support from PCA elite squads. Raven. During this time, you along with another group must destroy all the heavy warships berthed at the spaceport.
Once Snail stopped talking Rusty comes in to explain more.
Rusty: … a solid plan, but there's a catch: disruption of the PCA comms won't last long. I'll come support you when I've finished on my end.
Once they briefing ended 621 gets ready to be sent to the mission area.
Walter: if this mission succeeds, the corporations will deal the PCA a major blow. Ignore 's snotty attitude. Just focus on your own work.
Back with Rhodes Island everyone is surprised by this.
Armin: we're attacking the PCA!?
Eren: but that's insane!
Kal'tsit: it is but we'll also be working with other skilled mercenaries so this might keep the pressure off of you all.
Lappland: ohhh I can't wait to fight more enemies they better not drop like flies when they face me.
W: well at least we'll have some fun while we can.
Texas: how many enemies will be there?
Kal'tsit: possibly a lot.
Exusiai: Well then I guess all we can do is survive as best we can right Armin?
Armin: um oh yeah.
Eren: Armin you gotta learn to stay calm around girls who might like you.
Stella: so we just take down the enemies?
Kal'tsit: that's right and survive you don't have to do any crazy stunts.
Nana: whatever.
Kal'tsit: that is all everyone dismissed and get ready for the mission.
Everyone leaves in order to get ready once they were gone, doctor soon talked Kal'tsit.
Doctor: Kal'tsit… you sure this is a good idea.
Kal'tsit: … no I don't, the PCA and the aliens are the most dangerous groups right now and if we take down the PCA, the Aliens will be our biggest problem along with Arqubus who is mysteriously gaining more support suddenly.
Doctor: hmmm… it is strange.
Kal'tsit: which is why we have to be careful as we approach this situation no matter what.
The scene soon changed to the I.S forces whose having a meeting of there own.
Chifuyu: are you insane Tabane?
Tabane: I'm not I'm a genius after hacking into the enemies comms we can get the chance to attack them when they least expect it while they fight the PCA!
Chifuyu: Tabane you are sending everyone to a death trap where a bunch of powerful enemies will rip them apart…
Tabane: oh don't worry I'm sure Ichika's luck will save them all I'm sure of it.
Chifuyu: ...
Tabane: now it's time to get the show on the road and show them how great the I.S is!
(Project Wingman showdown)
The scene changes to 621 arriving to the mission area he also sees Rhodes Islands own forces have arrived as well they all soon started attacking the PCA Base and taking out many enemies.
As they are attacking the base the I.S pilots forces soon arrived as well as the other factions then they all started attacking the PCA and each other too.
621: … the other factions… are here…
Strayed: well that's not good and the aliens are here as well.
Lappland: are they strong if there not they'll die a sad death!
Texas: remember we have to make sure to survive.
Blaze: oh we'll survive like we all was do just like back on terra!
Eren: were gonna survive this Armin, Mikasa!
Armin: right!
Mikasa: survive…
Everyone continues to fight each other as this happens 621 starts destroying many of the PCA's ships while everyone fought each then two HCs arrives on to the battlefield and so does Rusty as he was already done taking out there coms he joins up 621 as they prepare to face the two HCs.
Rusty: sorry to keep you waiting, I got your back I hope you got mine buddy.
621: … I do… let's go…
Then 621 and Rusty started attacking the PCA HCs while everyone else is fighting each in this battle.
Stella: who are you?
?: it doesn't matter who I am you are my one of my copies Grey.
Ruby: Jaune… you betrayed us and joined the enemy who ruined our lives I will defeat you for betraying us!
Jaune: Ruby…
The battle continues on as 621 and Rusty succeeded in destroying the two HCs but then everyone detected something approaching there location it was Crimson squadron and Sol squadron.
(Project Wingman Peace keepers 1)
Crimson 1: all units prepare to enter into combat against the enemy we're putting an end to this party.
Crimson pilot: it those pilots again do you think they'll runaway again?
Crimson 1: not this time all units open fire!
Mihaly: don't underestimate them now attack.
Jaune: uh oh!
Iguazu: oh great it's those guys again!
Rusty: well this escalated into something much worse looks like there's no way out of this.
Stella: ummm this is getting harder here.
Nana: you think!?
?: I'm getting annoyed by this I'm gonna kill every last one of you humans!
Ichika: this is madness… complete utter madness!
Walter: there's no escaping this 621 take them down.
Ayre: be careful Raven!
621: understood…
Then the battle soon turned into an all out war between the factions Jaune and his team were fighting Ruby, Weiss and Blake. Rhodes Island's operators and Eren's group were fighting Crimson squadron and Sol squadron, Stella is seen fighting the true leader of the Apostles whose in a white A.C whose trying to kill her. Rusty is seen single handedly dealing Ichika and his group along side Luke as they give the I.S pilots a hard time finally 621 is seen fighting Crimson 1 and Yang.
Crimson 1: do you idiots know what your doing!? Your not supposed to be on Rubicon!
Yang: stay this jerk this bastards mine!
621: …
Ichika: dammit these two are strong no matter what I do they will all was counter back.
Rusty: you should leave the battle right now if you or your wives want to live.
Luke: you can forget it no matter what you say to him his too dumb listen to reason!
Ichika: that voice it sounds familiar.
Luke: …
Stella: who are you?
?: well I'm the governor but the humans back on the last planet wiped out called me… sing love.
Stella: sing… love?
Sing love: that's right Grey now hold still so I can neblade you!
Armin: this battle has gotten crazy!
Eren: we have to survive this you guys just survive!
Mikasa: … and live.
The battle soon starts to take a turn as Rhodes Island's operators and Eren's group started taking down Crimson squadron one by one, the same goes for Ruby's team mates too along with the I.S pilots as things has turned bad for them too, as for the battle between 621, Crimson 1 and Yang there battle is starting to dye down as well.
Mihaly : hmmm… Crimson we need to leave our forces won't last much longer like this.
Crimson 1: what tell but we almost have them where we want them we can still take them down!
Mihaly: which is more important your Squadron or your pride?
Crimson: …
Mihaly: you're the leader you must make sure they live to see another day.
Crimson: grrrr … all units retreat now. I won't repeat myself retreat.
Armin: there leaving. Crimson squadron and Sol squadron are all retreating!
Exusiai: I told you we survive.
Eren: it's not over yet we still have some enemies to take care of!
Soon Strayed joins up with Stella to fight off against Sing Love whose the true leader of the Apostles and started pushing her back.
Stella: Strayed?
Strayed: don't fall behind Stella the fight isn't over yet.
Sing Love: oh but it's going to be over as soon as every last human is dead!
Nana: I can't believe these humans are still fighting among themselves and even still why isn't they won't die so easily like the ones on the planet we came from.
Ruby: were being pushed back…
Weiss: we can't last much longer…
Blake: this situation is getting worse by the minute…
Jaune: give it up Ruby…
Nora: yeah think about your team mates safety.
Ren: and give up, leave Rubicon while you still can.
Iguazu: you do realize that there not going to give up so easily like that right.
Meanwhile the battle between 621 and Yang is slowly coming to an end as Yang's A.C has taken serious damage.
Yang: you bastard why do you have my mom's name!
621: ?
Ayre: she must be talking about the other Raven that we met back at the grid.
Yang: I'm going to make you pay for having that name!
While this happens the PCA comms is heard as they activated something soon a earthquake is felt in the area.
(Armored Core 6 code 78E)
621: … what was that…?
Ayre : I've detected something Raven and it's heading towards us!
Then an unknown weapon emerged from the ground it was a worm like weapon and it was huge and massive.
Rusty: what, what is that thing!?
Luke: I don't know but it's massive!
Houki: what is that!?
Ichika: it's too big!
Jaune: everyone avoid it! Now!
Sing Love: you cursed humans what did you unleash!?
Texas: our weapons aren't working on it.
Lappland: I certainly didn't see this coming!
Strayed: everyone try to stay alive!
Soon the giant emerged from the ground and looks at its enemies that it is to destroy but then something goes wrong as Ayre notice it immediately.
Ayre: it's changing it's behavior patterns almost like it's answering to a greater danger…
The weapon then leaves the area heading to it's destination.
Ayre: to protect the convergence…
Walter: it looks like the PCA decided to use one of the institute's C weapons head back to base and rest 621, I'll come up with something in order to deal with our new friend.
(End of music)
621 leaves the everyone else who saw this also decided to leave as well knowing there was no point in continuing the battle.
Luke: guys it's time to leave I don't think anyone has any desire to continue this fight.
Strayed: I think everyone agrees with you on that let's go.
Rhodes Island's pilots soon pulled out of the area then the Redguns left and so did the I.S pilots too as they know the situation has gotten much worse the huntsmen also leaves everything is about to get worse.
Sing Love: so they all chose to leave it doesn't matter all your fates are to become extinct and I'll make sure of it.
Then Sing Love along with her group soon leaves the area as well then everything fades to black.
End of Chapter 25 battle at the spaceport, the emergence of the Ice worm
That's another Chapter done Rhodes Island and 621 works together and attacks the PCA base, then the other factions comes in along with the true leader of the Apostles whose has revealed herself, the PCA activities a C weapon but they lose control of it. Now on to the reviews.
To Gojira: thank you also take your time with the picture if you want to make it or not.
Blangoj Pejov1: yup things are about to get worse but Eren and his friends will prove there innocent no doubt.
To MaxHD2490: your right about that but ALLMIND s going to use Markov to collect more Coral and once that's done she'll get rid of him, yeah Ayre wouldn't like since she seems to cause trouble wherever she goes and she's in a bad situation with Blake because of the debt she's in.
Okay that's all I hope you all liked this Chapter and everything that has happened in it take care, be safe and I'll see you next time bye.
