Armored Core Flames of Life
Chapter 20 destroying the new PCA tech, fighting the second apostle, Eren suspicious of Dolmayan
At the Liberation Front base Eren is seen taking care of Mikasa after she was saved from the Arqubus base however what Flatwell said was true Mikasa has a Coral burn in on her brain making it difficult for her to respond to him but she knows it's Eren and Armin who saved her from Arqubus.
Eren: Mikasa don't worry we'll find some way to make you normal again I promise.
Mikasa: …
Armin: Eren I've talked with Flatwell and he says there is a way to restore her back to normal.
Eren: there is? did he explain how.
Armin: well… he said that the only way for Mikasa to be normal again is to have her get a more advanced augmentation in order to undo the burn in on her brain but…
Eren: but what?
Armin: it costs a lot and I mean a lot of money which is too expensive.
Eren: dammit…
Armin: we could ask Flatwell to give us more missions so we can get as much many as we can.
Eren: … that might be our only chance to help Mikasa… I'll go along with you Armin so we can both convince him to give us more missions.
Armin and Eren goes to see Flatwell but as they do the two hear Dolmayan talking with his closest attendant named Freddie.
Freddie: is there something wrong father?
Dolmayan: … yes there is, I fear that the enemy is getting to close to the Coral and will without a doubt endanger everything we have fought for we must be on guard no matter what and keep it away from anyone who would search for it … do you understand Freddie?
Freddie: … yes I do Father I shall do whatever is necessary to keep anyone from the Coral for it is our life blood here on Rubicon.
Dolmayan: good you are dismissed.
After Freddie, Eren and Armin suddenly hear Dolmayan is panicking for some reason.
Dolmayan: it's better this way… it's better this way, the Coral must not be set free only tragedy and ruin awaits us al, the die must not be cast no one must not cast die…
Eren: what did we just hear?
Armin: I don't know it sounds like some sort of disaster is awaiting us if people continue to seek out the Coral.
Eren: what does he mean that the die must not be cast… we wasted enough time here lets hurry and find Flatwell.
Armin: your right lets go find him.
As the two leaves Dolmayan said one word or rather a name.
Dolmayan: … Seria…
The scene changes to 621 who uploaded the next Arena he is taking part in his first opponent in the C – rank arena is the late G4 Volta and his A.C CANNON HEAD, his file reads that he and Iguazu got the beat down of a life time by Michigan and was unable to escape the Redguns, Volta soon admitted defeat and started learning business from Wu Huahai. 621 then started fighting against Volta it was a very tough battle since Volta's A.C had a lot of fire power and strong armor but he was able to defeat him barely.
621: he was… a tough one… it's sad he's gone… he must have…been the only… friend Iguazu had…
Ayre: Raven…
621 then goes to his next opponent who is another member of the Vespers named Pater and his A.C DUAL NATURE, his file reads he's the eighth leader of the Vespers and a tenth generation of augmentation that preserve the patients humanity however there was signs that he shows a lack of empathy some thought it was the augmentation but it looks like it was all was with him. 621 then fights him the fight was difficult but he was able to defeat Pater. His next opponent is Sulla and his A.C ENTANGLE his file reads he is the first generation of augmented humans to survive the first augmentation, he soon lost interest in mercenary work and now lives only for the hunt. 621 began fighting and simply defeating Sulla but he and Ayre did notice some glitch and errors when ALLMIND tried to introduce him.
Ayre: Raven did you know that person?
621: he was… at a Watchpoint… where you were kept…
Ayre: I see I wonder why was he there?
621 goes to his next opponent who is called Chatty" Stick and his A.C CIRCUS his file reads he is a creation of Carla in order to give basic support and entertainment, it's also said he is content to be a good listener to Carla's free spirit ideas and Primrose's hard work alongside her. 621 the battle against Chattey and defeated him but he and Ayre can't help but feel that Carla treats him like a son she never had. The next opponent is Blaze and her A.C Burning Tiger her file reads she is a member of Rhodes island the rest of her life is covered in mystery. 621 then fights against her and defeated her, the next opponent is Weiss and her A.C Winter Empress her file reads she is a huntress from Remnant and is one of the heirs to the Schnee family who works as a dust company on Remnant however they are slowly going out of business due to many different companies coming to play making it difficult for Schnee company. 621 does battle against Weiss and defeated and moves on to his next opponent who is Ren a former huntsmen and a member of the Redguns his A.C Wind, his file reads that he is one of the best huntsmen on Remnant and partners with Nora and Jaune, much like them he too left as well the reason is possibly the same as the other two. 621 then started fighting Ren his A.C seems similar to Nora but focused on speed but just like her, he's defeated as well.
Ayre: Raven, I learned from Remnants history that the schnee dust company was the best manufacturer of dust for all of Remnant but when the corporations arrived on to the planet almost all of the schnee dust company bases have all been destroyed putting them far behind…. It's possible that the Schnee wants to obtain the Coral in order to put themselves back on top.
621: … it looks like it… is it also connected to the invasion… as well?
Ayre: yes… it is and it was because of that invasion that many huntsmen were killed and never heard from again… perhaps this isn't about gaining Coral for the huntsmen but also to avenge those whose died in that conflict as well.
621: I… feel you are right… Ayre…
621 then goes to his next and final opponent of the C – rank arena is Flatwell who is the de facto leader of the Liberation Front he is second authority to Dolmayan, he used to work as a spy for the extraplanetary corporations, has a sway over a contract in Schneider's HR department.
621 then fights Flatwell and it wasn't easy as the man was really skilled but he was able to defeat and clear C – rank arena, ALLMIND tells him it will call him on further notice. 621 then goes on to look at anymore missions to take and he noticed one from the Liberation Front it was about preventing anyone from getting any PCA tech. 621 accepts the mission then the briefing began.
Ayre: This job comes from the de facto leader of the Liberation Front. Let's see what it says Raven.
Flatwell: This is Flatwell, Liberation Front Central Ice field Command. We and the Belius Command are ramping up against the corporations and the other factions on two fronts. At present, our primary concern is the seizure of PCA hardware by the corporations and the other factions. The outsiders have the expertise and the resources to reverse-engineer PCA technology. They're hungry, too – hungry enough to consume the PCA whole. This leads me to my request. The PCA have stationed LCs and a new model, the HC, at the Hjalmar Mine. I want you to obliterate them in order to mitigate the potential for corporate gains. Raven – I await your favorable response.
Then the briefing ended before 621 takes mission he mad changes to his A.C again he kept the head and core the same but changes the legs to mind Alpha and the arms were changed to MELANDER once done he accepts the mission from Liberation Front.
Ayre: it's exceptionally rare to get a direct request from Liberation Front leadership. Perhaps the situation has changed their attitudes, too.
621: … all we can do is… hope Ayre…
Then 621 is sent to the mission area.
(Armored Core V Conservation)
621 soon arrived at the mission area where the targets are located.
Ayre: commence mission. Destroy PCA LC and the new HC.
Flatwell: I'm great full for your assistance Raven. The targets are in two camps attack one and the other will move to reinforce. I leave the question to where to attack first in your hands 621 heads to where HC is once he saw it he knew it will without a doubt be a problem one he attacks it and the MTs that were guarding it Flatwell tells 621 that the HC is used for elites and would be a problem if the other factions had a hold of this technology.
621 does battle against HC but it proves itself to be very powerful along a laser blade and a pulse shield as it gives him trouble but he was able to defeat it he then moves on to the other targets which was the same targets he encounters during some of his other missions 621 takes down one of them but the other one is destroyed by an unknown A.C which is piloted by another apostle.
?: well, well, well this is my lucky day for a hunt… time to get sniped!
621: … uh oh…
The two began fighting each other 621 closed the distance at the apostle who seems to favor long distance fights but his but his guns are very dangerous knowing this 621 he has to end this quickly which is somewhat difficult due to the alien trying get a distance from him so he can take him out from afar.
?: seriously you getting annoying but you will run out of steam soon but I'll tell you my name before you die the names Mazuma and I'm gonna Snipe you good!
The two continue to fight not knowing someone is watching from afar until he points his laser rifle at the alien he charges it then fires at the target which hits him and completely got his attention and pissed on who shot him.
Mazuma: OKAY! Who did that I swear when I find you I'll-
To bad for him as 621 took the chance and ran his pulse through the cockpit and killing the second apostle.
Mazuma: dammit… looks like I'm the one who got sniped…
621 looks at the spot where shot came from but they were already gone then Flatwell called after the mission was done.
Flatwell: I wasn't expecting someone to be there but the mission is complete and you live up to Raven. You fight like a bird in flight you may yet fly higher beyond Rubicon's scorched skies to chase the freedom we never knew.
621: … beyond the skies…
With the mission complete 621 leaves the mission area and returns to base meanwhile back with the Liberation Front Eren and Armin was able to convince Flatwell who was already done monitoring the mission that took place and agrees to give the two more missions to take on as this happens someone arrives at there base it was a green A.C the pilot gets out and introduced himself.
?: hello comrades I've come to join your cause in dealing with the other factions.
Flatwell: and who might you be sir?
?: *smile* my name is Markov… comrade.
Then everything fades to black
End of Chapter 20 destroying the new PCA tech, fighting the second apostle, Eren suspicious of Dolmayan
That's another Chapter done, Eren and Armin was about to ask Flatwell to give them more missions but they hear Dolmayan talking about not casting the die, 621 completes the C – rank arena and takes a mission from Liberation Front, destroy the HC and the two LCs but one of them gets destroyed by another apostle but too is killed by 621 and unknown A.C which is seen again at Liberation Front base along with it's pilot Markov. Now on to the reviews.
To Gojira: thank you and yes Vol 4 of Mega Man ZX Revelations will have three Arcs. The Liberation Arc, Redemption Arc, and the final true Freedom Arc. Right now I'm focusing on Armored Core and I'm already thinking on its going to end already.
To Xs0nicblAdeX: oh looks like you might have found out what planning for Yang I spoil it but let's just say Yang and Iguazu… has swapped places.
Blagoj Pejov1: I'm glad you liked that Chapter and the Omake of Swinburne getting killed along with explaining who taught 621 to trick someone.
MaxHD2490: glad you liked the Chapter as for who might kill Ren or Nora it's not 621 since he is on the ALLMIND route with the fusion of all three he might save one but the other is going to die, yes the groups are not going to like working together not one bit when the Ice worm comes in also Crimson and Sol squadron are the only units that uses since they can always customized.
Okay that's all I hope you all liked this Chapter also there's something you all should know when Ayre mentioned the invasion and how many huntsmen has died in it I'm sure you all can guess who one of the sad few people that died in that event. Alright that is all thank you for reading this Chapter and I'll see you next time bye.
