Three months has passed on Rubicon as the Battle rage on as Arqubus is gains more ground and control of the planet. Rhodes Island along with the Liberation Front joined forces to fight off against Arqubus. But soon they learned what they are up to and it isn't good.
Flatwell: my Intel has informed me that Arqubus is repairing the plant in institute city.
Doctor: they are what are they planning to use it for?
Kal'tsit: … they are planning to use it to gather up all the Coral on the planet.
Doctor: that's not good… what about our forces how are they holding up.
Flatwell: there all doing as best as they can but since Arqubus now has both PCA and RRI technology… the battle gets more difficult by the day.
Shizu: but that's not all I haven't heard of her majesty or Zaha including the I.S and huntsmen factions…
Doctor: could they have left the system?
Kal'tsit: I don't think so there's a possibility they are still around including that Markov person…
Flatwell: there's no doubt in my mind that man is still alive and plotting something. The question is what is it…
Everyone went silent all of them knowing that the other factions has gone quiet recently. But they have a sinking feeling that those factions are not going to be gone for long.
(Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon Legacy)
The scene changes to a battlefield that is ravaged by death and destruction as many people die among them was a child-solider fighting against countless enemies in order to survive.
?: I can't die here! I won't!
The teenager boy continues to fight against many enemies as he does he saw many people his comrades die right in front of him bullets being fired everywhere and Flames beyond the eye can see then an explosion happens near the boy. Everything soon turned dark then the boy found himself in a building he continues to walk until he saw a bunch of bodies all of them were augmented humans then a voice is heard. It was a scientist speaking with another.
?: you are insane this project is too risky!
?2: we must pursue this path you and I both know humanity must evolve to the next step of evolution!
?: do you even hear yourself do you even realize how dangerous this experiment is!?
?2: sacrifices must be made you and I both know this to be true! On earth humanity has stopped to evolve and is on the path to stagnation. We as a species are destined to evolve and adapt to many unknowns of the universe.
?: what about your son? You have sacrifice your own wife to this madness along with using many others as well! You have to stop this now before it's too late!
?2: … we must do this we must. I can't stop now this is the only way for humanity to evolve. To survive.
Then the scene changes to a room where an augmented human is seen on a table wires connected to the body and is on the verge of dying. The augmented human was a female being connected to the containers that houses Coral. The young man approached the girl on the table then said something almost like he knows who this is.
?: Ayre?
Then Flames appears and consumed everything then then someone wakes up it was 621 who now finds himself inside an old A.C.
621: … where I'm I…?
Ayre: Raven you've come to. Thank goodness.
621: … Ayre… where are… we..
Ayre: it appears we've been captured by Arqubus after you destroyed that Ibis weapon. I don't know how long you have been out but I would have to say three months…
621: … three… months…
Ayre: also there's a message for you. It's from Walter…
621: ?...
Ayre: I'll play the message.
Soon the message plays.
Walter: 621. A friend of mine left a request.
Walter: … no this request comes from me. You know the hidden danger lurking within the Coral. The fires of Ibis should have wiped the Coral out, but it survived. Gathered. And has been steadily multiplying ever since.
Walter: Now the Coral Convergence is growing at an exponential rate. Eventually it will spill out from Rubicon… and contaminant space itself.
Walter: the Coral must be burned 621. Even if it means reigniting the fires that scorched the stars.
621: …
Walter: this isn't an order. It's a legacy. My fallen friends have entrusted this duty to me… and now I have to hand it on.
621: …
Walter: 621. Feed the fire. Let the last embers burn. I have one last job for you: find your freedom.
621: …Walter… finding my… freedom…
Ayre: Walter. now I understand what he meant.
621: … Ayre… do you… know where… we are?...
Ayre: I believe we might be in the sewer system of institute city. I also found some directions and where to go. Walter he's showing us the way out.
621: … it's time… to escape… Walter thank you…
(Armored Core 4 Blind Alley)
621 then started up the old A.C and start trying to escape from his imprisonment. Ayre tells him this A.C has little weapons and it's no match for his abilities, she tells him one his weapons can disrupt the enemy's sensors so he can make a quick get away from them.
621 tries his best to not engage with the enemy too much as he heads to the destination where Walter wants him to go to. Along the way he finds a log on what Arqubus is trying to do and what the log says is very disturbing along with revealing more of what kind of sinister person Snail.
621: Snail's much… more dangerous… than I thought…
621 continues until he was inside institute city again but hears announcement telling all of Arqubus's soldiers to look for him. 621 then started traversing through the shadows so he won't get caught by the enemy as he continues he finally finds what Walter was leading him, a beacon.
Chattey: Beacon detected heading to location now. Been awhile tourist I've sent you data on where you need to go head there.
Ayre: RaD they must be connected to Walter's mission.
621: …I think… you could… be right…
621 then heads to the spot to be picked but he's soon found by Arqubus as they soon started sending there forces to capture him. However Carla and Primrose soon comes in to save him they soon started attacking the Arqubus forces and wiping them out once they were done the two approached 621.
Carla: looks like we're clear.
Chattey: chief we were able to recover the tourist's A.C.
Primrose: that's good news but we also have bad news.
Carla: oh and what is this bad news?
Primrose: well it turns out two Ibis weapons has been stolen. And it was by two unknown individuals.
Carla: … damn that is bad well we're going to have to hand that later. For now lets leave while we still can and I will tell you everything about Walter along with our mission.
(End of music)
Soon a carrier helicopter comes to pick them up, the scene changes to Markov who is looking at the weapon that he and his group has obtained.
Markov: soon it will be time to pass judgment on Earth and Remnant.
Markov wasn't the only looking at a Ibis weapon that he's stolen, the alien leader Sing Love is also looking at the weapon they've obtained from Arqubus.
Sing Love: so the selfish humans are obtaining this powerful Coral are they?
Zeke: yes your majesty it appears they plan to gather up all of this energy up above the atmosphere of the planet using the plant.
Sing Love: gathering up energy are they? Well if we blow it up… all that energy burst out and destroy everything… including those humans. Those fools have gave us what we need to wipe out humanity completely.
Sing Love smiles at the excitement of she was going to do then everything fades to black.
End of Chapter 37 621's past, Ayre's previous life, escape from Arqubus
That's another Chapter done Rhodes Island and the Liberation Front are fighting against Arqubus's forces who are now more powerful. 621's past is revealed along with Ayre's and he learns of Walter's mission, he soon escapes from Arqubus's forces later saved by Carla. Markov revealed he has an Ibis weapon and so does Sing Love. Now on to the reviews.
To Gojira: thank you.
Blagoj Pejov1: that's right Raven has now escaped from Arqubus.
To Guest: yup Yang is now absorbed by ALLMIND leaving behind her body that is no longer full of life anymore.
Alright that is all I hope you all liked this Chapter and everything that happened. Now then I'm guessing you all are wondering what are those Ibis weapons that Markov and Sing Love have in there possession? Well Sing Love's is the weapon that Ayre would use in the fires of Raven parts as for Markov's that is a secret. Now then I think I should explain why Ichika or Ruby are not representing strength of the individual will. Well to me or possibly some others it the two don't seems to represent that or grow from there experience, not learning anything and are easy to be manipulated by those who give them false information plus they don't seem to be able to see the truth or spread their wings. Okay everyone that is all everyone I hope you all have a nice day be safe bye.

A conversation in the afterlife between friends
In the afterlife where the spirits roam among is Ozpin who is regretting all of his decisions after learning what the huntsmen has become. Qrow also regrets making the decision to fight corporations ships and be shot down by them. At the same time Ironwood whose also there is far away from both of them.
Ozpin: so everything I've done… only made things worse…
Qrow: yeah… sorry Oz…
Ozpin: I… should have seen signs… the signs of the corruption in the hunter system years ago…
Qrow: … Ironwood… I hate to say this but… I think we should have heed your warning…
Ironwood: don't talk to me… you all already dug your graves…
Ozpin and Qrow doesn't want to admitted but he was right getting rid of Salem didn't fix anything and now they are paying the price for there ignorance. Then more people came in it was Weiss, Ichika's wives and children along with Michigan and Ren.
Weiss: well… looks like I sort of deserved to be here…
Cecilia: this is something I never thought we would be here…
Tatenashi: something tells me we sort of had this coming…
Ozpin: ms schnee.
Weiss: Ozpin?
Ozpin: please tell me… tell me Ms Ruby was able to fix what's happening with the Huntsmen.
Weiss remains silent for a few minutes until she looked away in shame that was enough to tell him that Ruby failed to guide the huntsmen, all Remnant on the proper path.
Ozpin: I don't believe this…
Qrow: Ruby and the rest of her team… made things worse…
Weiss: I'm… I'm sorry… and I'm sorry for killing you Ren…
Ren: forget it. What's done is done.
Michigan: yup that's right What's happened has happened.
Ozpin: I have bad feeling that something tragic is going to happen to all of the huntsmen.
Everyone didn't say anything but they all agreed something very bad is going to happen soon.
