(Armored Core 4 Answer – someone is moving on the surface)
The scene opens up to the kingdom of Agnus being conquered by the corporations forces and is now under there control from a distance in a ship Liquid Snake is seen along side Ocelot as they see Agnus falls.
Ocelot: we seem to have a problem.
Liquid Snake: oh?
Ocelot: the Queen of Agnus was saved by a small group that we believe are the Redguns and Rhodes Island, who are survivors from the last war that took place on Rubicon years ago.
Liquid: I see, and I'm to assume that Mantis was killed as well.
Ocelot: yes, I believe he died by the hands of that mercenary.
Liquid: it doesn't matter. They can have the Queens of both kingdoms, what really matters is obtaining the ether that is here on this planet.
Ocelot: the other corporations will soon be heading Keves kingdom Kingdom next according to our information, Shinra company has already been spotted destroying much of there forces along with Arqubus and Balam following after, as for what's left of Agnus and it's military they are scattered now.
Liquid: the Agnus forces won't be a problem after all they lost there Queen well fake Queen I'd say and the capital, even if they join forces with Keves there's already bad relations with them since the war has been going for a long time.
Ocelot: so we are to head to Keves?
Liquid: yes.
(Scene change)
Inside the ship belonging to Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit along with others deactivate the capsule and wakes up the Queen of Agnus they saved before the kingdom fell.
(Casshern movie – last days)
The group waits for a few minutes then, the Queen of Agnus started waking up and her first encounter was the Redguns, Rhodes Island crew, RaD and Shinck, Fatman, Church, but more importantly the two individuals she would ever see, Matthew and Na'el, everyone looked at the Queen of Agnus and to their surprise she looks a bit like Na'el, even Matthew was surprised by similarities that the two have.
Queen of Agnus: …
Doctor: hello your highness, I'm doctor, this is Kal'tsit and the rest of the Rhodes Island crew.
Jaune: your majesty, I'm Jaune leader of the Redguns and this is my crew.
Primrose: I'm Primrose lead mechanic of RaD.
Shinck: Shinck.
Fatman: names Fatman, ma'am.
Church: call me Church.
Queen of Agnus: … a lot of years has passed, especially meeting new people as well. And how about you four.
Matthew: um, yeah. I'm Matthew, your highness.
Glimmer: Glimmer! Your majesty!
Nickol: Nickol, solder from Keves.
Na'el: …
Matthew: sis…
Queen of Agnus: your Na'el right.
Na'el: !? How the bloody hell do you know my name?
Queen of Agnus: … I been knew about you and Matthew including your family, your grandfather and your home along with being Noah and Mio' grandchildren.
Na'el and Matthew: !?
Na'el: how did you know? How can you know them!? How much the cities suffered and so many people died in this twisted war!
Na'el was about to attack the Queen but the group stopped her before she does, they all understand why she's upset and so does the Queen when she soon spoke about the situation and how all of this happened.
Queen: I believe it's best to tell you all how all of this happened, this pointless war that has been ongoing on Aionios.
Na'el: …
Queen of Agnus: now then… it 60 years ago if I remember correctly, which was possibly the last time I saw Rex and Shuck.
Nickol: wait a minute, hold on. You know my father?
Glimmer: and mine too? But how?
Na'el: that's too far back…
Matthew: that would make you very-
Queen of Agnus: *shows very scary smile*
Matthew: I'm going to be quiet now.
Queen of Agnus: now back to what I was saying. Yes I know about your father's and the rest of your family, back then both Agnus and Keves lived in peace with each other, Shulk was always the smartest person in Aionios always making new things to help make our lives better, Rex was always adventures always trying to find new things and places to explore, as for the Queen of Keves both of us always kept contact with each and from those everything was peaceful.
Shinck: … I'm going to assume something happened much later, right?
Queen of Agnus: … *sigh* yes something did happen… mysteriously some of the cities went dark and this made everyone very worried, Shulk and Rex both went to investigate those places to learn what happened… but a days later we lost contact with them.
Nickol: … Dad…
Glimmer: father...
Queen of Agnus: there disappearance made us all worried to know end and feared for the worse case scenario… then I encountered the ones who was responsible and possibly the Queen of Keves met them too, I don't remember much but one of them had a snake tattoo on his left arm and the other one looked like a gunman, before I could prepare for the worst an enemy in a mask covering his entire face knocked me out and after that nothing.
Na'el: a man with a mask… that's the same person who knocked me out.
Kal'tsit: I'm going to guess that the other Queen was captured as well, then many years later the enemy replaced both you and the Queen of Keves with fakes and had both Kingdoms fight each other for many years with no one noticing what has happened.
Queen of Agnus: that's right.
Doctor: oh man…
Matthew: … so all this time those Organization guys had control of everything from the shadows, started a war and killed everyone we know and for what? Just to take our resources for there own gain? This is crazy!
Fatman: that is how it is kid. These guys are far more dangerous than we thought they were and they don't give a care about the consequences as long as they get what they want.
Everyone was quiet, now that they know the truth about the war that is happening on Aionios and why it was started, Na'el leaves the group to be alone, She heads outside to get some air as she does she thinks about those she loved who are now gone as she began to cry, the Queen and the others said it was those who lurked in the shadows that started the war and everything, but she can't let go of the hatred she has for the Kingdoms she can't.
Na'el: … even if the this Shadow Organization was responsible for what happened… it was still the Kingdoms fault and they must answer for everything they done to everyone… to all of us.
The next day, Shinck and his group gets ready to leave Rhodes Island and head for there next job which is in the Keves region, the group thanked them and then they headed out once they were far from Rhodes Island, the group prepared for their mission but they soon noticed Na'el was with them again.
Shinck: what the Na'el?
Church: aren't you supposed to be with your brother and on Rhodes Island?!
Na'el: it's like I told you three, destroying both of the kingdoms.
Fatman: still obsessed with that huh?
Na'el: …
Fatman: well… there's nothing we can do about this now and we are near the mission area, get ready to drop kid.
Shinck: alright...
(Armored Core V – Vulture)
Shinck boards his A.C and heads out to the battlefield once he does begins taking down many of Keves's forces and machines that would get in his way, then a Keves A.C arrived and started attacking Shinck.
Keves Soldier: you monsters how much more do intend to take from us!? You won't get away with this!
Shinck: sorry, but I'm a mercenary I'm just doing what I'm hired to do.
Shinck avoid much of the Keves A.C attack and then strike with his own damaging the machine, once it was down on its last leg, Shinck finished it with a pulse blade ending the battle and the soldier's life.
Keves Soldier: monsters… all… of …yo…u…
Shinck: … mission complete, returning to the carrier now.
Back on Rhodes Island, Matthew was very upset that his sister left again and he was very not happy about it at all, Jaune and the others see it right now with worried looks.
Matthew: dang it, Na'el!
Jaune: *sigh* should have seen this coming.
Doctor: yeah looks like it.
Luke: that girl is going to be the death of us all.
At the same time in the hanger the Queen of Agnus looks at the that are there as if she knows what they are and has seen them before.
Queen of Agnus: … those two are just like you, especially Na'el, it looks like this is a fate that both of them can't run away from. I wonder who is carrying that title right now, as you once did.
As the Queen of Agnus thinks about this, everything fades to black.
