Chapter 1 " A Nasty Spill"

*Yawn!!....*

"Ah Freaking' sunlight!" exclaimed Ed as he jumps out of his bed to make his breakfast.

"Microwave, reheat last night's dinner now please," as he said to the odd looking appliance.

"That wouldn't be very wise Ed, as doing so would create an upset stomach and heavily affect your Armored Core training regimen."

A female voice came from what was supposed to be making Ed's breakfast, a sleek looking android that does almost everything for Ed around his apartment complex. He refers to her as 'Sis' because he grew up as an only child with no one to hang out with.

"Aw come on Sis I'm freaking hungry and there's nothing else..."

All of a sudden a series of short interval beeps came from Sis' eyes as they glow a red-orange from a light-blue color.

"Incoming call from:

-DANNYBOY- (Daniel Roberts, caller I.D.)
Shall I answer it Ed?"

"Yeah it's probably important anyways."

A wide-screen appeared from Sis' eyes onto the wall while Ed was eating his stale cornflakes and chopped banana.

"Hey Ed are you asleep late again?"
A man with a beard and goatee shouted at Ed with such excitement.

"What's up bro? You made a breakthrough with that rifle you were supposedly working' on?"

"Umm... no that's still in development * man you know that! But the reason I called is because I saw something awesome and spectacular I thought I'd share it with you. Sis should be receiving a file from the VM Arena."

"Uh okay what's big news about then Danny?"

"DOWNLOADING FILE:

VMARENASTATISTICS.exe

Percentage Rate: 95% Complete"

"File download complete. Opening list of ravens from the Virtual Mission Arena..."

There's no way she beat Anna that fast..." Edward spit the last of his orange juice across the kitchen.

"You're lucky I'm 100% liquid spillage resistant, Edward." said Sis sounding agitated after Ed's mistake.

"Yeah sorry Sis, but I couldn't help it after what I just saw on the wall."

The screen flickered off and on and a few seconds’ later communications with Daniel were restored.

"Whoa dude that was weird man hope Sis is okay. Anyhow I assume you know now who the Number #1 in the Virtual Mission Arena is?"

"Yeah, but it kind of surprised me," as he said with light sarcasm "that she's at the top instead of her sister Anna."

A picture of a dark blonde female appeared on the wall.

" I.D. Verified:

Raven: Reina Song

Mission Completion Rate: 99%

Raven Rank: "S"
(To get an S rank in VMA you must finish each mission in the time allotted while at the same time finding and completing the hidden objectives in every mission.)

Pilot AC: Battle Bunny; a heavyweight AC that utilizes core exceed orbits, combined with hi-laser rifle and rapid fire handgun to create thermal stress for enemy opposition.

AC Rank: A

Do you wish to read about any of the available ravens in the arena Edward?" said Sis.

"No." says Ed as he slams his glass onto the table; thankfully for Sis' sake the glass was empty.

As Edward walked towards his room he opened his closet door to reveal nothing, but a suit and some gym shorts.
He donned his leather pilot suit and began making his way to the AC312 Garage where his armored core was being repaired.

When he approached the garage he heard a series of loud yelling and banging noises from what sounded like giant machines clashing together.

"Awesome, you guys finished the repairs on Black-Fox yet?"

"Yeah Ed you arrived just in time dude! You Armored Cores right arm sustained near-critical damage during that last arena mission of yours. Tsk, almost blown off its left arm trying to blade the 14th Nine Ball AI. *giggle* Watching the replay you'd think you were on--"

"Shut it Earl..."

Edward stood before his machine. A giant armored bipedal humanoid weapon called Armored Core.

“Hah, that last mission just about drove me nuts man. I mean that thing was faster than--"

Before Ed could finish he was interrupted by a screeching noise coming from the garage doors.

“Edward!” yelled the tall, enigmatic female. “Ed I've been looking for you! "

" Yes mother I-I-I mean. Whoa An-- "

*WHAM!!*

" Ugh...right in the basket...ah...."

“Next time don't refer to me as mother okay,” Said Anna with an authoritative voice toward Edward and Daniel, little did they know what was going to happen next.

The tall woman took off her black helmet revealing her long red hair. But when Ed saw her face after grappling his jewels he already knew what she had to say.

“E.J. something's going on at New Mirage that I think you'd be interested in. It's about... "

"... Tech Boys new weapons right? Listen I already know what's going to happen and I'm going to be first in line when it comes out! "

" Ed the documents for the prototype weapon Tech Boy were developing was stolen! "

" *Gasp* . . . "
Ed's jaw dropped to the floor harder than a macaroni & brick dinner on Tuesdays.

"Well who the hell did it," said Ed questioning Anna " I must know who did it otherwise I'm just going to--"

" E.J. we still don't know who did it, but Tech Boy is working on a list of ravens who might be suspect to the whole thing. "

Ed's eyes filled up with rage after Anna told him what happened to the near-complete weapon Tech Boy promised E.J. thinking;

" I'm going to kill the son of a bitch who stole those docs."

" I know how you feel Ed that's why...what the?!"

"...What? What's up girl? "

For a brief moment Anna saw something fly behind the garage window behind Ed. It was moving very fast going back and forth, traveling to the east. Suddenly...

* AC31-2 Garage E-Com *

"Attention," the klaxon blared on the walls as everyone and everything in the garage was in panic. "All personnel evacuate the facility immediately! A rogue AC has invaded the southeast garage, AC 31-1, and has just destroyed one of our fuel tanks. My god! It's heading for the--"

Silence.

The intercom fizzled out and exploded. Several explosions were heard outside of the garage doors behind Ed and Anna.

Ed began darting to his AC Black Fox.

"Anna let's move NOW!" shouted E.J.

"Gotcha! I'll call for air support while you hop into your AC. I'll catch up with you shortly."

"Alright Anna they better haul ass over here because things are starting to get ugly... "

As Ed and Anna headed towards their Armored Cores, Ed received an emergency message from his android Sis:

" Ed I have some odd information on the AC that Black Fox spotted at the AC 31-2 garage. "

" Wait how did you know... “Ed climbed into the core of his AC, putting on his raven's battle helmet.

“I’m interlinked to your Armored Cores fire control system. As long as it has shoulder mounted radar and a head part equipped I can see anything that's going on around you and Black Fox. "

" Okay what about this rogue AC that's about to kill us? “Saying with a slight chuckle, as thought he thinks this rogue AC is nothing new to him as he's been through 296 Virtual Arena Missions.

“It’s now uploaded to your Armored Cores computer stored in the head H11-QUEEN, speaking of which was upgraded without my permission wasn't it?”

* Click! *

" Hah! "

As communications with Sis ended, Ed started his Armored Cores boosters and was beginning to turn on his over boost function. All of a sudden his AC began to talk to him.

“Unidentified AS detected.

Unit is equipped with heavily modified weapons in attack heat and reduced weight.

Beware of the units right arm linear rifle.

Highly mobile attack maneuvers are advised.”

" ED WATCH OUT DUDE! "

* KABLAM *

Just as Ed was about to activate his over boost, an explosion was heard just outside the AC 31-2 Garage doors.

A black Armored Core forced its way from the heavens and landed with a thunderous crash in front of E.J., stopping him in his tracks.

"Whoa dude what the hell? Where were you just now? "

" Doesn't matter we got to track down that bastard rogue AC that robbed me of my documents. I found out it was an unknown raven placed number 1 in the Virtual Mission and Virtual Arena rankings. And he was the only one who was near New Mirage HQ. "

“Alright let's get the hell out of here Dan and get that bastard so we can get those documents back!”

Ed turned his AC towards a neon green heavyweight AC that came out of the crumbling garage.

“AC Lime Dream detected.

Pilot: Anna Song

Status: Friendly "

" I'm coming with you two guys! I have back up from HQ (New Mirage) on the way. It's Raven Battalion Sky Division 3. "

" Sweet Anna's here too Ed?" said Dan” Alright guys we got to haul ass. That rogue AC is getting away and FAST. "

But before they could move away from the garage in time, two abnormal Armored Cores colored in black and dark purple armed with high powered laser rifle and back mounted cannons armed in hand, dropped from the gray skies above the trio.

“Don’t even think about going after HIM." said a female pilot in the dark purple AC.

“We are too powerful for you to take down. Even with a KRSW laser rifle you wouldn't be able to scratch our AP!” exclaimed scruffy male voice in the black AC.

Suddenly, a black and blue AC that resembled an Armored Core from the massive suicide weapons era approached Ed, Anna, and Daniel. It stopped in its tracks right in front of Daniel.

“Where are my documents? God damn you I know you took them so give them to me now! "

The mysterious AC pointed upward with its blackened linear rifle.

" ... R-r-raven... "

" Screw this guys! " shouted Anna as she attempted to fire on the purple AC with her WR98L, the purple Armored Cores pilot reacted quickly and used her quick boost extension to turn around behind Anna and cut off her right arm, preventing her from using her 98L in the process.

“Ah!!!” as Anna let out a loud scream as her arm was somehow affected by the cut. Her AC kneels to the ground as the shock from the slice of the purple Armored Cores LB3 laser blade.

" Didn't I tell you not to try anything?"

" You bitch! How dare you harm Anna! “Yelled Ed he tried to move, but with the intimidating AC with the very powerful arm mounted LX/2 laser cannon he didn't want to risk being in the same position as Anna.

Daniel edged forward hoping to get closer to the enigmatic figure that was the black and blue AC, but was foiled thanks to the two Armored Cores guarding it.

“I want to know where you hid my documents for the prototype. Why won't you tell me?? "

" ...In...Time... R-r-raven...the next...time we...meet is when you'll receive you’re... "

* Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop *

the sound of chopper blades and screeching jet planes in the sky behind the three Ravens was a sound from the heavens from their position.

“This is Raven Battalion Sky Division 3 we've arrived at the HZ." said one of the fighter pilots.

“This is Commander Reynolds of Sky Division 3 we have a visual on the target.”

“Sir there are three unknown targets down by the fuel tanks, should we give chase Sir? "

"....Raven...We'll meet...again..." with that communications went static and the mysterious Raven flew away, along with the other two strange Armored Cores, out of the area.

“Squad, the enemy units are getting away! Let's chase them down! HOOWAAAAHH!!!! “As Sky Division 3 yelled out their battle cry, Anna, E.J., & Daniel followed suit behind the Raven Battalion into the gray skies above.
...

Chapter 2 "A Mysterious Pilot"

As the three Ravens chase after the dark AC, news of the event spread to the VM Arena where Anna’s younger sister is just finished her 300th mission making her the Top Raven in the arena.

"Ah! That was very...exciting. Black Nine, thanks for doing this mission with me. I don't know what I would've done if you didn't that KR blast. Without you I probably wouldn't have made it out as great as we did. Just hope my sis is alright though."

The medium sized pilot leaped from the back of her pink Armored Cores exceed-orbit spot and landed onto the ground with a thunderous smack.

"Yeah she's such an awesome pilot girl, but hey it's no problem Mrs.Grim! Completing that mission put me and you at the top which makes us the best two-man team in the arena!!"

A dark skinned female jumped from her Helios core and slid down the foreleg of her quadruped AC.

“I’m really glad I was able to do that mission with you...R-Reina...HAHAHA!!!! I can't keep a straight face while you're 'Bunny' is around! "

Mrs.Grim's face quickly turned from a smile to a dark frown when Black Nine poked fun at her AC.

"Nine do you really think that rusted piece of shit can beat my Bunny?”

All of a sudden Black Nine went into a flaming rage. She threw her helmet off revealing her angry teeth to Mrs.Grim. She then ran towards Mrs.Grim with a roundhouse kick.

"Lena, my God!”

An old man wearing a dark brown GI leaped dropped from the rafters and blocked her kick, saving Reina.

“Where is your self-restraint child?! I know I taught you better than that!" said the old man with the long, braided beard.

Reina was very surprised by what she saw. The old man very tall and had the same emblem on the back of his brown GI.

“Lena if I were to ever see you attempt to strike anyone like that again, I will give you maximum punishment of the dojo.”

“Hah... whatever gramps... "

Lena stormed off into the announcer's room to take a break from all of her missions.

“Why would she try to hit me over something so trivial," thought Reina “I mean she has the second best AC in the arena! Compared to my Bunny her AC is a total powerhouse. "

The old man stared at Lena's four legged AC in disgrace,

“She sometimes takes things the wrong way...She just hasn't learn how to control her rage and use it to her advantage yet. Someday she will I just know. "

Back at the announcer's room Lena had calmed down a bit while watching a replay of her and Reina's previous mission.

" Why do I do it?, " Lena said to herself " I can't beat her AC in the VS Arena so instead I team up with her...SHE teamed up with me... "

* Replay back to previous mission. Data log: Dual Sortie 300 *

“Hah. You two are supposedly the greatest Ravens huh? Well guess what, just because you graduated from some academy of "Ravens" doesn't make mean you have what it takes to number one! "

“Whoa what...who was that Reina?”

A mysterious heavyweight AC appeared in front of the two Ravens. It had a white color with blue overtones. Its emblem resembled that of a legendary hero dating back to the unmanned suicide unit attacking on Versurs Highland...The Pulverizer era.

It wielded a very powerful EN rifle made by Mirage Inc.

“I’ve been through a good number of battles with this AC and I've also killed many Ravens like you that tried to beat me... I'm undefeated! "

“Who are you? Why are you here?! We should've completed this thing seconds ago! "

“Lena that is the legendary AC Fox Eye, although it looks a bit different from what was shown in the history books,” said Reina “I don't even know who's piloting that thing. For all we know it could be some kid trying to spook us. "

“You sure Reina because he sounds a lot like Ed only...older.”

“It’s not Ed because he's out there chasing some rogue pilot, and it absolutely can't be Jack-O. He died in the battle of the Pulverizers under Circ City years ago... "

Suddenly a green blast of energy came from the back of the white Armored Cores core, aiming for the two Ravens.

“Ha-ha you fools! You think can actually beat the best?! “Exclaimed the mad pilot” I'll show you why they called me the... Last Raven!! "

“What no freaking way! It can't be him!!” shouted Reina.

“Over boost function on!” shouted Fox Eye's pilot “Dual missile unit go! Activate relation missiles... you two are going to regret ever taking this mission!! "

“Ah I don't think so! Exceed Orbit function ON!!" shouted Reina” Computer: Locked on target; AC Fox Eye detected. The unit is equipped with a High Energy laser rifle along with a grenade launcher and dual missile unit. Evasive attack maneuvers are strongly advised."

"Oh yeah we're definetley in for it now Lena!"

"Oh you think?"
