Armored Core Flames of Life
Chapter 33 all out war in the depths, deaths comes for all, then there were none
At the Liberation Front base, Flatwell shows everyone a map he found in Dolmayan's things as it shows another path into the depths.
Armin: I didn't know Dolmayan was hiding another path to the depths?
Flatwell: neither did I but we will use this to ambush the enemies that has made it further inside. If we're lucky we may capture one of them alive.
Eren: … and kill Markov too.
Flatwell: that's right but we must all be on guard no matter what. Because the other factions are also down there everyone get ready for battle!
Everyone: yeah!
The scene changes to Rhodes Island whose pilots are seen getting ready to enter the Depths.
Exusiai: you know whenever I see that giant hole that leads to the underground it feels more like we're entering the underworld.
Luke: it truly does and it feels like those who enter don't return.
Strayed: it does looks like it.
W: so we are walking towards our deaths huh?
Lappland: so it's going to be a fight to the death? Then we better make these moments count.
Stella: … sis?
Nana: we are going to survive… no matter what.
Rothcall: … girls just comeback safely.
Shizu: and be extra careful there's a possibility that the other apostles will attack without warning.
Stella: we'll try to be safe.
Nana: also not try to die as well.
Texas: everyone it's time to go.
Blaze: and secure a path to where the Coral is.
In the control room of Rhodes island both doctor and Kal'tsit are talking about something important.
Kal'tsit: …
Doctor: is there something on your mind Kal'tsit.
Kal'tsit: yes there is. It's about the huntsmen, they should've left the planet the moment things started to get a bit out of control.
Doctor: I know what you mean, most of them has already died if this keeps up…
Kal'tsit: a lot more people will die … we have to make sure to save some who might survive the conflict that is to come.
The scene then changes to the Redguns who are now getting ready to enter into the depths.
Michigan: alright maggots listen up this might be our last chance to get through the enemy forces and the Coral Convergence. But our rival Arqubus has completely became more powerful due to them obtaining PCA technology.
Redguns unit: …
Michigan: there's a chance we might not make it out alive… we are also going against the other factions it will be hard and difficult and there's a chance we might not survive. If anyone wants to back out do so now I won't blame for the decision you all make. But if you are coming with me I promise to do everything in my power to make sure you all survive this most difficult battle however… if I die I want all of you to live that is all I ask.
Once Michigan was done with his speech many of the Balam forces including some of the Redguns left but Jaune and his team remained so did some of the others.
Nora: looks like Iguazu and the others have left…
Ren: I can't blame them. This is after all a last ditch effort.
Jaune: … it is but we must do what we can to survive and there's a chance we might end up fighting team RWBY.
Ren: there's no doubt in my mind that when we face them… it'll be a fight to the death…
The group goes silent upon hearing that and they know how strong the girls are. This will without a doubt be a fight of there lives.
The scene changes to Walter talking with Carla on a private line.
Carla: how was the trip underground, Walter?
Walter: the enforcement system silent, at least. Tried to take 621 with it… good thing it failed.
Carla: well, that deals with the PCA, then. What about the other factions?
Walter: Arqubus told us wait before entering terra incognito.
Carla: so you're close, then. The Factions won't be helping each other over the finish line.
Walter: yeah. Arqubus wants the other factions out of the picture first.
Carla: looks like Arqubus is gonna win the race no matter what.
Walter: short term, maybe. But I think 621's going to be the key in the end. And that's why I shouldn't be the one to choose which jobs we take.
Carla: sounds risky. Our friends must be antsy.
Walter: maybe. But I think 621's got friends to worry about too.
Meanwhile 621 is seen getting ready for the mission that he will be doing. Then Ayre spoke up as the missions he will taking has arrived.
Ayre: Raven. You got two requests to go with the orders from Arqubus. One is from the Liberation Front… the other is from ALLMIND.
621: …
Ayre: you should consider what your choice means, Raven. For my part… I've chosen to trust in you. Whatever you decide… I know you'll mean it.
621 looks at the missions, the one from Arqubus wants him to attack the Redguns if he doesn't accept they'll send rusty to do it. The one from the Liberation Front wants him to eliminate two elite Vespers. Finally ALLMIND's request is to eliminate a Vesper. He decides to see who this person that ALLMIND wants terminated.
Ayre: this Request comes from ALLMIND. True to form, they sent us an encrypted message with top-level security. I expect it must be about Coral Release.
ALLMIND: Augmented human C4-621 – Raven. There's obstacles that needs to be removed. The target is O'Keeffe, an Arqubus special intelligence officer. And Houki Shinonono one of the elite I.S pilots.
ALLMIND: O'Keeffe was a second generation augmented human, once our ally within the corporations.
621: ? … so it was… ALLMIND that gave Arqubus the edge to… defeat the other factions…
ALLMIND: But it seems that O'Keeffe had a last minute change of heart – and means to betray us. As for Houki she is dangerous individual who follows blindly after her husband Ichika not knowing it's her sister, Tabane who is pulling the strings if she learns anything about Convergence it will put the plan in danger.
621: …
ALLMIND: you are to ambush the two targets during there factions ordered survey of Depth 3. There records note death by misadventure.
Then chart appears showing the number of augmented humans that are needed for the plan to be complete. 621 saw his name up there along with Strayed, Mikasa, Iguazu, Sulla, O'Keefe and finally Yang.
ALLMIND: the release project must succeed. Only an exceptional augmented human be the key. C4-621 – Raven. ALLMIND is certain of your success.
Once the briefing was over 621 then accepts the mission from ALLMIND.
Ayre: … we've made our decision. Let's get this done, Raven.
As 621 is being sent to the mission area Rhodes Island's pilots and operators are split in two one in depths 1 the others in depths 2 as they trie to reach the deeper level. Luke, Lappland, Nana and Blaze are seen in depths 1.
Luke: hmm…
Lappland: I smell something dangerous is coming our way.
Blaze: we don't know what will happen be on guard.
Nana: … above us!
(Armored Core V Halo)
Then the I.S faction led by Ichika and half of his harem and kids comes down from above and attacks them.
Ichika: come on guys!
Kana: you got it dad!
Cecilia: let's show them the power of our justice!
Rin: come and get it you bastards!
Tatenashi: attacking!
Half of Ichika's children: yeah!
Luke: oh crap!
Then the huntsmen attack from the entrance that leads to the depths. All of them lead by Ruby and Weiss.
Ruby: let's go!
Weiss: for the fallen!
Huntsmen: for the fallen!
As this happens the Redguns comes down and attacks with Michigan leading the way.
Michigan: attack get in there you maggots!
Balam forces and Redguns: yeah!
At the same time one of the last apostles along with her forces soon jumps down and joins the battle.
Nafe: well time to join in the fight.
In depths 2 the Liberation Front began fighting against the Vespers, Peter and Hawkins.
Hawkins: looks like we've fell into a trap Peter open fire!
Peter: yes sir!
Flatwell: look like this won't be so easy everyone… attack.
Liberation Front soldiers: yeah!
Then the huntsmen group lead by Blake comes in and started attacking as well. By the surprise of everyone Rhodes Island's pilots soon arrived and started fighting them as well.
Strayed: let's go everyone.
Rhodes Island operators: roger!
Then one of the last apostles prepares to go into the madness that there leader is leading them into.
Lilo: alright then I guess this is all or nothing!
The scene changes to 621 who has arrived at depths 3 in order to eliminate O'Keefe and Houki. He soon spotted one of his targets he then goes and attacks him.
O'Keefe: looks they've found another strong candidate this time. Tired as I am… I'm not ready to die yet.
The two then began fighting against each other as 621 immediately starts attacking O'Keefe damaging his A.C as this happens Houki enters the area and is confused by what's happening but O'Keefe knows what's going on and what Tabane is up to.
Houki: what's going on why are there two here?
O'Keefe: … so that's your plan Tabane. Sacrifice your own sister, I.S and the huntsmen so you can get your greedy hands on the Coral, so ,many people call you a savior but in truth, you are much more of a monster that took human form.
621: …
O'Keefe: you two don't know what your doing do you let me tell you something ALLMIND and Tabane ain't worth it.
Houki: how'd you know about my sister?
O'Keefe: oh I know exactly what your sister doing right now, as she manipulates both the I.S pilots and huntsmen into doing her dirty work. Not caring about how many lives she will sacrifice in order to get what she wants. You, Ichika's family all of you are just pawns that were doomed to be disposed of.
Houki: you monsters…
O'Keefe: as for you, mercenary I don't want anything to change drinking coffee mixed with your favorite sludge sure it sucks but that's being human.
The three continue there fight as O'Keefe and Houki has taken serious damage.
O'Keefe: life on Rubicon sure does sucks doesn't it. Don't tell me you like it here.
Houki: I'll tell you this. I don't like being here more then anyone else but I'm going to stop you both the good guys all was win!
The fight continues on until finally O'Keefe is killed.
O'Keefe: maybe now I will get some sleep… see you on the other side… rusty…
Then 621 attacks houki as his goes straight through her body thus ending her life.
Houki: ich…ka….
Ayre: confirmed O'Keefe has been terminated and so has Houki. I wonder if he was another candidate for Coral Release. We've completed ALLMIND's request we can go now Raven.
621: … Ayre… I want … to save … the Redguns…
Ayre: … if that what you want to do Raven I won't stop you but I must warn you. You will end up fighting your way through a herd of enemies that will get in your way.
621: … I understand… beginning mission…
Then 621 started heading back to depths 1 in order to save Redguns but he soon ran into another battle as the I.S, Huntsmen, Liberation Front, Rhodes Island and the Aliens all do battle against each other.
(Armored Core Verdict Day Vendetta)
Ayre: well… it wouldn't hurt to help the Liberation Front and Rhodes Island against the enemy Raven.
621: …I don't mind… let's go…
Then he started helping the Liberation Front and Rhodes Island fight against the Vespers, huntsmen, I.S pilots and the apostles as they are now being pushed back.
Kanzashi: this guy is strong…
Laura: he's already wiped out much of our forces already…
Charlotte: I don't know how long we will last…
With Blake she began to put the pieces together and discovered that it was Raven that killed Yang.
Blake: it was him… he was the one who killed Yang!
Blake soon charged at 621 in order to avenge Yang's death but she is then blocked by Texas.
Texas: you should learn to control your emotions more.
Texas knocked Blake back, the huntress then attacks the lupo with such anger as she misses her every time.
Blake: get out of my way!
With the others fighting against the two Vespers, as the battle gets intense, Strayed calls Flatwell on private communication lines.
Strayed: Mr. Flatwell I think we should work together.
Flatwell: may I ask why you want to work together since you to are after the Coral?
Strayed: it's true we're after the Coral but we aren't here to obtain it our leader is trying to learn something important about it.
Flatwell: your not here to obtain the Coral?
Strayed: we're not.
Flatwell: … very well. The Liberation Front Forces will work alongside Rhodes Island.
Strayed: also I ask that you don't try to kill them but I guess that's a 50% percent chance of that not happening.
Flatwell: your right but we will try not to kill them but I can't keep any promises.
Then Rhodes Island and the Liberation Front started working together against the enemy forces.
Exusiai: hey Armin! Let's double team them!
Armin: okay!
Then the two attacked Hawkins together as they rain their attacks on him. As result Hawkins is killed.
Hawkins: heh… want to… join the Vespers?...
Peter: no!
Ayre: one of the Vespers has been taken down.
621: …we done what… we can… let's hurry to… depths 1…
Soon 621 leaves the area heading to depths 1 but as he leaves, Markov soon appears in the area, Eren spots him and immediately attacks him.
Eren: Markov!
Markov: you again? You really don't know when to give up do you boy.
The two soon started fighting against each other as Eren tries to kill him. At the same time both Texas and Mikasa are seen also working together as they push Blake back.
Blake: these two are too much no matter what I do they'll counter it.
Texas: want to end this?
Mikasa: yes…
The two then started slashing apart Blake's A.C even destroying some of cockpit where Blake screamed but her A.C is out of commission and is unable to continue fighting.
Blake: Yang…
Texas: she's not dead but still alive, let's go help the others.
Mikasa: *nod*.
With the battle against Peter Strayed and Flatwell made short work of him.
Peter: no! I just made V.V! …
Strayed: well that takes care of the Vespers.
Flatwell: now we can focus on the I.S pilots and Markov.
The scene changes to the Redguns who are now fighting against the I.S pilots and huntsmen including the aliens as the battle rage on.
(Armored Core Verdict Day Stain)
Jaune: grrr!
Ruby: Jaune! Why did you leave? Why did you betray us, why!?
Weiss: don't bother Ruby him and his team are traitors and there sentence is… death.
Nora: this is getting harder by the minute!
Ren: were not going down easily, Ruby and Weiss are after all the best of the best of huntsmen.
As the battle continues Rusty soon dropped down and the moment the Redguns, I.S pilots, huntsmen and the aliens saw him they knew they were screwed.
Jaune: oh no…
Ichika: crap…
Nafe: well… screw me…
Rusty: I hope you all don't mind me joining in.
The battle soon gone from bad to worse as Rusty starts taking down many of the Balam, huntsmen, I.S and alien forces swiftly. Jaune is having trouble dealing with Ruby as she pushes him back and damages his A.C then Weiss prepares to strike him from behind.
Weiss: time to die traitor!
Jaune: !?
Just as Weiss was about to kill him a someone shoots at Weiss saving Jaune's life. It was none other then Iguazu.
Jaune: huh?
Michigan: Iguazu what are you doing here-
Iguazu: shut up old man! No punch the living daylights out of you, except me! Curse you Jaune for bringing in that crap about team work dammit!
None of the Redguns didn't say anything but appreciate the help none the less but there help gets better as 621 arrives as well.
Michigan: no way even G13 too! Is it possible we might still have a chance?
Soon 621 started fighting against the waves of enemies as he does Walter contact him.
Walter: 621 what are you-
621: Walter… let me do this… please…
Walter: … fine do what you have to do.
621: understood…
The battle soon turned in the Redguns favor as they began push the enemy back. Jaune and the rest of his team started fighting against Ruby and Weiss as there started taking major damage.
Ruby: we're taking major damage Weiss!
Weiss: we aren't going down so easily… not until we make those traitors pay!
Weiss Charges at Jaune with the attempt to kill him but Ren jumps in to shield him but sadly Weiss's blade goes through the cockpit killing him.
(Modern warfare 2 death of ghost and roach)
Ren: …
Jaune: REN!
Nora: REN!
Iguazu: dammit…
Michigan: !? Iguazu behind you!
Iguazu: ?
The alien prepares to attack him without him noticing it but Michigan jumps in and takes the hit that would kill him.
Michigan: guh…
Iguazu: old man!
The death of both Michigan and Ren enraged them as both Jaune and Nora attacks Weiss with such anger as they fire there weapons at her which causes major damage to her A.C.
Weiss: no way…
Jaune: RAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Jaune soon plunge his blade through Weiss's A.C killing her in the process.
Ruby: Weiss!
621 attacks the Alien with a grenade launcher killing it.
Nafe: … I can't… die here…
As this happen Rusty quickly kills both Cecilia and Tatenashi as well. Iguazu fires his weapon at Rin with a charge shot this kills her as a hole is seen through her body. All of Ichika's wives, children are seen being killed one by one, Kana watches in horror as her siblings die one by one. Ruby is scared along with terror in her eyes as many of the huntsmen and huntresses are killed one by one as the enemy shows no mercy as this happens Ruby and Ichika soon screams as they fly away from the battlefield Rusty doesn't continue the fight as Michigan is confirmed dead and leaves the area.
In depths 2 Rhodes Island and the Liberation Front wipes out many of the enemy's killing Laura and the apostle Lilo too. Kanzashi and Charlotte are defeated and captured but are badly injured. Eren and the others tries to capture Markov but he escapes from the battlefield. The Liberation Front takes both what's left of the I.S and huntsmen as prisoners and gives them to Rhodes Island, Charlotte, Kanzashi and Blake are one of those who are prisoners. Seeing that the mission is over 621 leaves the area as for what's left of the Redguns they go with Rhodes Island along with carrying there dead.
Walter: … where there's Coral, there's blood…
Then everything fades to black.
