+Armored Core Lore The story of Armored core It begins in the year ED070 when the earth suffer a massive population growth all over the blue planet. With little space left on the planet to home these people and a future of being starved for resources the worlds governments proposed the building of underground cities to make room for their new growing populations. By the year ED096 powerful corporations and world powers would then turn to space for an answer as the population never stopped growing and along with them bringing the need for more resources to cloth and feed them. To answer this he first Mars terraforming project is executed. A pioneering fleet equipped with artificially intelligent robots is sent to Mars to begin planetary remodelling however the project would take too long as by the year ED100 the earth began to fall apart. More than half of the large cities in developed countries have become slums, while ever-increasing crime and shrinking investment have created a hollowing out of the economy. Industrialized companies have been competing with each other for the interests of developing countries, and with the development of the new technology, problems such as the rise in temperature due to the increase in carbon dioxide and the increase in harmful cosmic rays due to the expansion of the ozone hole have become increasingly worse. The Developing countries also lose most of their concessions to corporations from developed countries, and in addition to environmental destruction, they have been unable to solve basic problems such as economic disparities that will never be filled and food shortages caused by the population explosion. This causes Discontent and grievances in many countries with environmental pollution that has halted the earth's natural ability to cleanse itself. Soon, dissident organizations emerged in various regions and garnered a lot of support. The spark to this war was small. It was a statement by a supporter of a developing country that terrorism against a major power was acceptable. Feuds between major powers and developing countries became evident and other powers began to interfere with them. Soon, in the name of eradicating terrorism, the major powers began their march, and developing countries requested the assistance of third world countries leading to Skirmishes that should have been mere local conflicts to quickly spread and flared up around the world. The People's discontent exploded, and riots broke out in many countries with the economic disparities among nations becoming clear along with the various others problems such as resources, territory, ideology, ethnicity, and religion all erupting into a major war involving all. All this would force the hands of the major powers of the worlds to race to the idea that they would end the war in one fell swoop by deploying large-scale weapons with destructive power far beyond that of nuclear weapons. However, this war was different from the wars of a century ago, because now other countries also brought out similar weapons, and the fields of battle became more like a weapons testing ground. Blasts and boom came from all over and in the end these large-scale weaponry would everything into waste dust. The destruction of the natural environment and ecosystems could not be stopped as these weapons of justice rained down on earth leaving only a few survives. Their planet ruined by war, the survivors had to choice to make their new homes in the underground cities that was once going to solve their problem of overpopulation, now became their only hope of survival. It would take until E.D.0107 before Social systems would begin to be developed and expanded among several underground cities centred on Isaac City. In this process, several large corporations take the lead in reconstruction projects as a replacement for the nation that collapsed due to the Great Destruction. This group would become to be known as the union of corporations and with their minds and cash they would stabilize The urban environment of the underground cities by ED0110 and exchanges between underground cities will become more active. This growth came thanks to the union overcoming the biggest technological hurdle at the time to increase the efficiency and mobility of the work equipment. The answer to this problem, which seems obvious to mankind, which must make the most effective use of its few remaining resources, was to "develop humanoid machines that can withstand practical use.” These would become Muscle tracers and their use quickly spread as The system was used in resource mining, which had been a problem, to improve the efficiency of operations, and was later adopted in space exploration, which had been stagnant. The first shuttle was developed in a short period of time and it showed a strong presence in all kinds of environments, including extreme conditions such as outer space and immigrant planets, and even came to be regarded as a beacon of hope for mankind. This looked to be a fresh start for mankind as such the research and advancement of MT took precedence over everything else in research and development, and within a short period of time, it made dramatic progress. This would be the "core concept” or core system a standard for general-purpose work equipment that could actively respond to any situation by connecting various attachments via "turret points" on each part of the "core," the basic chassis that contained a powerful generator. The Companies of the union designed and produced various parts under this common standard, which was applied to many fields including military. The MT's inherent versatility led to a rapid shift in the entire weapon system leading these new mts with the core concept turning them into fully armored machine of war, these would start to be produced as Armored cores. With such a force behind them in ED.0115 the coalition of business proposed the "Centennial Plan," a major project focusing on the comprehensive development and operation of the entire underground community. It would be a plan that progresses expanding the function of the underground city while at the same time making economic disparities become more noticeable between the population. It also caused conflict within the union of corporations with the need to grow and profit they would form the Raven's Nest as the spearhead of inter-corporate conflicts, it becomes home to a large number of ravens and for a short while would fall under the command of Chrome, one of the corporations within this union. It within the next fifteen years that out of the union two of the corporation would experience rapid growth Chrome and Murakumo Millennium. These two would advance their research faster, their mts development would expanded as well as their business. By ED130 these two corporations controlled most of the under ground cities, the union would fade into the shadows of these mighty corporations and raven’s nest would now have a new operator, one that neither chrome or marakumo seem to question. It is during this time when a new raven would join the ranks of raven nest, their motives unknown yet the actions of this raven would change the world. Its here history will tell of two tales, the first of the raven who sided with Chrome, this would see the raven take on missions for the chrome corporation these would include reclaim oil facility, attack urban center as well as a range of attacks agai9nest the space station and luna base of their rival marakumo. This path would lead the raven to give chrome all the power it would need however the story would not end well much like if the raven choices to work for Murakumo. Its a series of missions that see the take down of chromes own private terrorists, the fall of Chemical-dyno experiment and finally the end of Chrome itself. The most important parts of this tale however will tell us this raven down the 2nd rank raven, becoming a powerful foe as a raven and finally that this new strength frighted the true master mind behind all this. An Ai said to be controlling the top ranked raven, nineball as well as a range of mts in it own private force. Its seeing the power of this raven that made the ai see them a threat to the world they wanted as such the final mission destroy floating mines is nothing more then a trap to get off of this raven threatening to ruin it perfect plan to guide humanity. However the raven would not die here, instead taking down the two nine balls that act as guards for this ai the raven and ai would come face to face, a machine built to guide humanity and a human who wanted to be free. The AI asks the raven for what they wish for? The answer is clear when the raven destroys thje ai causing the underworld cites to suddenly stop functioning and the last largest corporation to fall in ED0158 leading to a new period. The period that would become known as the underground war where after the fall of both chrome and murakumo the smaller companies at the time began to battle for power once more. They wanted to run the cities like chrome and Murakumo did as such this war would last a long 29 years before in ED.0187 the birth of the Formation of the Underground World Ceasefire Commission, this commintiy would handle the ceasefire in the Great Depth War and Along with the ceasefire, the "Treaty of Isaacs", a war treaty, is signed. While thje contents of the treaty is never shown by the year ED.0188 The Underground World Ceasefire Committee was scheduled to be dissolved after the ceasefire process was completed, but it was decided to continue in order to rebuild the inter-company information network and reuse company-owned land. The committee will concentrate the military forces of the remaining organizations, and will become a powerful controlling force. This would evolve by E.D.0190 to the The Earth Government, led by the Underground World Ceasefire Committee, founded with the goal of restoring human life. The Earth Government advocates a return to the surface in order to break through the extremely exhausted situation of the underground world. It begins to investigate the aboveground environment. And just one year later in ed0191 The Earth government, having determined that it is partially habitable on the ground, promotes the migration of people to the ground. In the end it seemed like earth population would return to the surface, however it was then a new and upcoming corporation would present the idea of living on mars.
+Armored core lore The story of armored core five It begins around 200 to 300 years ago when for an unknown reason the world lost most of its population and contained areas became uninhabitable. Take from page 04 of the armored core v book the fact this event is best explained as this. There are various theories as to the causes of the devastation of the once prosperous world. Among them, two theories are "resource shortages due to population growth" and the "widening gap between rich and poor" led to repeated wars・ They are highly credible considering the numerous weapons that have been discovered. It is also believed that the world was undermined by the leakage of pollutants from the weapons used in those battles. Alternatively, there is a persistent theory that environmental changes due to natural catastrophes and extreme weather conditions were the cause of the devastation. Now that the ancient records have been lost, there is no way to know which theory is true. All we know is that many people have died and that the "viable areas" where people can live have dwindled to a very small number due to the spread of the contamination. Survivors continue to huddle together in viable areas to survive, but this degraded environment isn’t enough to override human nature, and conflicts over territory and resources continue to erupt. This would be known as the old era A hundred years later when Migrants started to appeared; they used special equipment mask, suits and helicopters to walk around in the contaminated areas and discovered weapons used in past wars in the contaminated areas, which slowly led to the discovery of the humanoid weapon "Armored Core" (AC): a high-performance military weapon. To allow for a better understanding of what this means Migrant is the general term for couriers who travel between viable areas and trade for a living. Many of them are loyal only to profit and live for the purpose of obtaining money and valuables. Therefore, they have two roles: one as peddlers who help people by transporting daily necessities, and the other as merchants of death who deal in weapons and ammunition and promote conflicts. Others go to contaminated areas to search for supplies used in past wars. In many cases, those who can pilot ACs use their strength as a commodity and make their living as mercenaries. Mercenaries go to the field when requested and act as a temporary force. The client may be an organizational entity such as the resistance, or it may be an individual migrant who needs personnel for a conflict or an escort for a search. Is it here that the search for viable land would be begin causing conflict between migrant group as they became territorial and fighting over the viable land the most well known being the city. A large city in a viable area. It seems to have had a unique name in the distant past, but the records had already faded and it was simply called "The City" It is also during this time people who are not migrates would become known as ash people who would venture out to find these viable land themselves. This would be known as the pollution era. It is among these ash people a man by the name of Jack Batty who since a child had been working as a burglar in the city. Would form his own bandit group to continue his life of crime which would lead to this group attacking a migrate by the name of Don Tyrell. He had been picked up by a Migrant Group as as a young man, however it split and fell apart due to internal strife, allowing him to acquired an AC amid the chaos and become a straggler Migrant. After being attacked by Jack’s gang they would rob him of the ac but let him live on the condition that he would teach them how to pilot the armored core. Even after such a meeting, Jack and Don would quickly become friends and with the new weapon Jack’s bandits would become quite the force in the city allowing them to rob resources and send other groups packing with their power. However the city was a lawless place and with more migrant groups fighting for land and resources each day, Jack’s bandit group would be killed off during these battles leaving the only survives being Jack, Don and the daughter of one of his fallen men Frances Curtis. Seeing no other choice and separated from Don, Jack would flee in the ac with Frances to become a mercenary. While Don vanished from the city and return to life as a migrant, the despair of his lost friends by these wars made him realize the meaning of power. It’s here he decided to take back what he lost and would dive deep into contaminated areas to return alive with many successes and attracting a great deal of attention for other migrate groups. It with this that Don Tyrell would then begin to organized various Migrant groups by forceful and cunning means. Leading to within a few years to became one of the most powerful forces in the city. It around this time that another a group would also be making waves within itself the men of honour. This groups birth is Originally down to a mirage group known as the Stratford family that operated solely within its family members. A turning point came however after the death of the families leader and a turf war broke out with other Migrants for their land and resources. However the Stratford’s new leader, Elizabeth Stratford the wife of the original leader and later nicknamed leopardess would show her talent and charisma as a leader. She united the rival Migrants and founded the men of honour with her ruling it for the next dozen years. However time caught up with this leopardess and she was ready to hand over the leadership to one of her daughters, however there was trouble. For Elizabeth had three daughters, Goneril, the eldest, Regan, the second, and Cordelia, the third, and all three were raised as heirs. Cordelia, in particular, was brilliant, displaying a boldness and talent for negotiation that surprised even her mother. Ironically, however, this talent became a source of friction between the sisters, leading to factions within the MoH fighting over who would take the throne. Cordelia, who disliked the inconvenience of the organization, left the MoH herself, and as a result, Elizabeth shifted the management to a collegial system before her death. The factional strife subsides. While Goneril, the eldest daughter, copes with the change in position and secures a stable position, Regan, the second daughter sees the state of the family as a downfall and is consumed by a desire for revenge against those around her and her sister. It this family war that would lead Cordelia to change her name to rosary and begin a new life as a migrant. Who will play an important role later on. For now returning to Jack and Don, the pair would years later reunite working together as the heads of one of the city's most prominent migrant groups. Tyrell cooperates with the City's other powerful migrant group within the city for a while, but his self-righteous, no-holds-barred approach causes him to clash with them at every turn. Leading to fighting between them all with two well known battle between Jack and Leon Dantes Leon at the time was an ace of a certain Migrant group that was known as a martial fighter in the City. However after losing to Jack the first time, he would clash with Jack again only this time it looked to be his end that was until he was rescued by a migrate by the name of rosemary. As a result of his two defeats by Bhatti during the war in the city, he lost his position in the organization and lived as a low-ranking member. It after these battles and more that Jack and Tyrell would finally achieve unification of the city under their group. After this Tyrell becomes the "representative" of the city and Then realized that they did not have the capacity to provide for all of the City's inhabitants with the amount of supplies they had at the time. So he decided on a policy of segregation of the inhabitants. This was the result of his choice to ensure the survival of even a small portion of the population, rather than to have them all live in harsh conditions and possibly perish, which was the best course of action for the future. He created a social system controlled under a strict status system. The status is dictatorial, with those concerned in close proximity to the Tyrells being treated as the upper class, and most of the rest as the lower class. The immigration area was also divided according to status, and the lower class people were forced into worse living conditions. These living condition would see the lower class go underground using tunnels and old underground network as their homes. This sight hit Jack hard who did not agree with Tyrell’s new world policy and as such during a mission to push back some rebellious migrant groups within the city Jack would flee underground. To Tyrell this was a friend he thought he could trust betraying him as such Jack Bhatti would be labelled as an exile from the city and Tyrell would begin to turn the city into a military fortress. He established a security force for his own safety and to suppress terrorism and strife among rebel groups. The security force handled weapons used in former wars and used military force to maintain security in the city. They also deployed surveillance units and built watchtowers throughout the city to ensure full security. In truth During Tyrell's reign, the people living in the City were guaranteed a minimum standard of living, but they were not given complete freedom. They were placed under a system of total control, supplies and food were rationed, entertainment was non-existent, and the people were forced to focus on simply surviving. Naturally, some were dissatisfied with such a harsh lifestyle, but the thought of being sent underground prevented them from rebelling. It Is also worth noting that there were industrial facilities within the City, and the bare necessities of life were produced there. But to the people forced underground by Don and his rules this was no life and when Jack Batty came to them, he managed to organize them all into what would become know as the resistance and begin to fight Don rule with small scale skirmishes first. Among these underground people would be Leon Dantes who even after learning that it was Jack Batty who lead this resistance. He would follow Jack into battle and becoming Operations Counsellor within the resistance and would hold this position until the first major attack by the resistance against Don who now had become known as father. Possible because he was seen as the father figure of the city with how he ruled along with the emblem common to all members of the unit was inscribed with the words "ODIET AMO meaning I hate and I love which is the same as the City's logo. These very words would come from the Latin poet Gaius valerius catullus who used these words in one of his poems or to masterfully express a love hate feeling so seemingly contradictory and yet so frequent with his lover. It reads in full I hate and I love. Why I do this perhaps you ask? I do not know, but I sense that I happens and I am tormented. To return to the topic at hand. All this would happen in the beginning of the era which would be known as the Migrant conflict era along with one more event, a force named Vendie would be established in the mid Mid-continent by a man named Cesar Venide. To better show this a map is showing on screen of its location along with where Don and the men of honour are operating at this time as well. Finally this is where the rest of the events of this era can be seen through the game armored core v as such we shall begin. It begins with what would be called the first counterinsurgency operation where the resistances first major attack on the city would be learned ahead of time as such as representative of the city would reinforce the city own security with the firepower of another Migrant group named the corporation. Very little is known about this group at this point nor how they and Tyrell would meet. However the best description of the group and the answer to how the meeting between them is suggested to have happened comes from the armored core v book the fact which described the corporation as A type of Migrant organization that uses its own combat capabilities as a commodity, it maintains a powerful force centred on "autonomous weapons" that cannot be operated by other organizations. And on how the two met It is said that the corporation and Tyrell came into contact either 40 years ago, when Tyrell went to the contaminated area to conduct a search, or before the first counterinsurgency operation, but no evidence of this remains. A group hidden in secrets and one where the hero of this story would first show up working for the corporation as a mercenary in their force. From this point on this mercenary name will change as the story goes on for some texts will refer to him as simple mercenary while other will name him the dark raven. For this retelling I will be using the dark raven name as to not confuse this ac pilot with other mercenaries of this era. The dark raven is brought to the city under contract by the corporation to fight back the resistance that is launching a large scale attack on Tyrell and his security forces to overthrow him. As a corporation mercenary he is directed by a corporations member name Carol Drury who reminds the dark raven that the corporation expect results from their forces. As if to answer this the dark raven would remain silent as he heads into battle within the city, his skills are proven within minutes as he is able with the overwhelming odd of the corporation forces to over power the fighting resistance forcing them to flee to the western part of the city where their leader Jack Bhatti would act as a distraction for the fleeing resistance members in his own armored core named Vendetta. This armored core would not simple run about instead taking the fight head on as a number of other corporation hired mercenaries would meet their end at Jack’s hand that was until he and the dark raven crossed path. The two quickly battle and the dark raven manages to damage Jack’s ac forcing him to retreat into the underground of the city, this is when the commander of the corporation forces named chief comes over the radio to give the dark raven his next order. A chase would start as the dark raven pursues Jack taking down a transport helicopter trying to block his route into the underground before finally the two armored core pilots meet again. Jack however plans not to die here as he is ready to finish this battle between them with a very large weapon on the back of his ac. This would become later known as the Grind Blade one of the few ultimate weapons that over rides the normal limits of an armored core and allows the craft unlimited energy to use an ultimate weapon to destroy a foe with overwhelming power. The downside to this is the weapon can only be used once and that the armored core using the ultimate weapon is prone to losing its left arm after the weapon is used due to the armored core computer system being unable to deal out the heat output resulting in the loss of the left arm. Yet in jack’s case he would not get to use the grind blade as the chief attacks him from behind. Firing shots and Ramming into the already damaged resistance leaders armored core leading to Jack death. It here however that another voice would come over the radio to speak to the chief Paul O Brian captain of the police force within the city and the force that protects Tyrell. This is a crushing defeat for the resistance who is forced back underground with their leader dead and their forces depleted it would take a year before another would become the resistance leader and her name is Frances Batty Curtis. Inexperienced as a leader the young women seem to lack the skills and charm of the last resistance leader leaving the planning and negotiating with Migrant groups for more weapons and supplies to launch a second attack on the city in the hands of Leon Dantes who survived the first operation. This is how rosary and her henchman RD would be brought into the service of the resistance as a Migrate group for supplies and weapons. Leon would also hire the dark raven as the resistances only armored core force. luckily thanks to the chaos of the first attack and huge losses to the resistance no one could link the dark raven to being the mercenary who chased Jack Batty to his death. With this new team and more supplies the time to launch the second major offence on the city and Tyrells forces. This according to the both the armored core v the fact and Armored core verdict day the after would be named the second counterinsurgency operation. The first steps in this operation would be to destroy the control facilities of the city’s surveillance units located in the high rise district of the city which has four. To do this they would send in a team to do this however due to the city police being stationed in all districts they would have the dark raven act as a distraction in the low rise district to pull the attention of the city police away. It during this missions start we see that rosemary is not too happy about the new leader of the resistance and seems to be only here for the money and that the dark raven once again shows their skill as any who try to attack him are left burning. Causing enough of a distraction the dark raven is then ordered by Leon to head into the high rise district to aid the resistance combat units in the fighting which the dark raven would do only to be confronted by security force eleven in the underground passage the raven had to use to reach the high rise district. A battle between the security force and the dark raven would play out in the underground passage leaving the dark raven as the victor who would speed through the tunnel heading towards the high rise district. Here the resistance fighters are facing heavy fighting from the city police who had highly mobility armored core units and support weapons on their side. The dark raven assistance however allows for breathing room for the fleeing resistance member as he eliminates the defence forces including an armored train filled to the brim with weapons. But when ordered retreat along a different route the resistance radio is hijacked by the corporation commander chief. What follows this conversation between Chief and the resistance is from the another armored train autonomous weapons are fired from it making the escape of the dark raven that much harder. We later learn these the missile type autonomous weapons used here would be named ootheca that seem to be able to home in and even chase target for a period of time. The resistances armored core however manages to escape these weapons and flee the high rise section leaving the resistance aware of the fact the corporation had access to their communications all this time as such their plan would need to be looked over again. The resistance witnessing the weapons the corporations have at their disposal knew they would need more firepower to even stand a chance at surviving against such a foe. As such a search party is formed with Rosary and RD as guides, the dark raven as security and Fran as commander of the mission to head outside the city. Where only a vast wasteland which covered most of earth surface can be seen and it is this that is known to many as the contaminated area. Where the first armored cores would be found and now where the resistance hoped to find more weapons for their cause. It while searching some sites within the area and fighting off more autonomous weapons which are stationed at the sights that Rosemary is questioning Fran in her leaderships skill to the point she even teases her when Fran get angry at rosemary's content pushing of trying to make Fran give orders. In the end however the search of the three main sites turn up nothing leading the search team to enter into another site which make RD nervous. It is filled with autonomous weapons and quite the fight for the dark raven who manages to clear the sight allowing Rosemary to land and begin a search however it is then RD senses something. A large unknown weapon, it attacks without hesitation and Fran seems unsure on what to do that is until rosemary tells the dark raven a weakness to this weapon, its legs when they up open up to fire a large energy blast. In what can described as show of skill, the dark raven takes out this foe amazing rosemary and Fran however RD is not so thrilled about the next conversation between Fran and Rosemary as the team leaves the site. Days later the resistance would launch an attack on the southern part of the city known as the coastal district where a Martine facility is based. The goal of this mission is to make his way to the executive district and clear it of enemies so the resistance can use a bridge there leading to the central command where Tyrell is based. To get there the raven would first have to make it through the coastal district, to do this the dark raven would first take an underground passage from a deserted marine facility into the coastal sector. Yet after taking out the city police patrolling the passage he arrives at the district to find it is being guarded by corporation forces. This leads the raven to fight his way past a number of autonomous weapons once more and two large and powerful weapons that looked like bird named scavengers. Once again the dark raven is able to down these weapons allowing him access to the executive district where the city police are waiting with their own ac to challenge the dark raven. No matter the foe however the dark raven goes on taking out the city police armored core and all the forces here before being ordered to pull back to the passage leading back to the marine base this is when Leon give more details on what the attack plan is for the resistance. Heading back the dark raven picks off more forces of corporation and city police until they find RD waiting to pick them up on a flat bed truck. It as the pair travel back through the passage that RD talks to the dark raven for the first time however it is cut short. An attack from a city police force. The resistance is confused and shocked however the mission goes on with the dark raven taking down the attacks as finally he arrives at the marine facility to see it now being guarded by a huge force of city police and we learn how this was possible thanks to the chief of police. With this many hostile units here the dark raven is ordered to clear them out leading to more battling for the raven as he clears the area only then to have the city police chief show up to deal with the raven himself. This battle between the two is short as another ac soon joins them, Hangman the armored core of chief the corporation commander and he does something unexpected. Killing his own ally, the chief then keeps firing with his ac ultimate weapon forcing the dark raven to hide behind cover and dive under the ocean to avoid shots as he makes his way towards the attacking armroed core. When he does get close the dark raven rams Hanged man making the armored core burst into flame as carol the secretary of chief has this to say. The dark raven and the resistance after this would move right on with their plan the invasion of central command. This plan would see Leon and a team move in with a team to capture Tyrell in his base while the dark raven and resistance forces would battle the forces outside. To aid with this the resistance would cut the power to the area and the dark raven would also take out the back up generators to ensure this power loss would stay that way. It while this is happening however the corporation would turn up and drop an LLL into the area forcing the raven to fight the mighty tall machine of war before heading to the front of father tower. The final part of the plan to capture or kill tyrell is in motion and for the dark raven his job would be keep the city police and cooperation forces at bay while Leon and his team invaded the tower. This battle would be no cake walk though as the corporation would drop in more units and another mercenary armored core pilot who is hired to defend the tower. All these however do not stop the dark raven as finally Leon announces they have captured Don Tyrrell only but this victory is short lived. What should have been a victory for the resistance now sees the city began to be destroyed by the corporation who’s unit go about attacking resistance member and even city the police force. Major panic set in as Rosemary is in shock but Fran orders all resistance members to retreat underground including the dark raven who does this. The city a blaze and the corporation forces killing whoever they come across the city is slowly taking a bit, piece by piece all the while reaching the underground they meet another ac however this armored core seem familiar and the voice of it pilot too. Betrayal for the sake of living, RD however is no match for the dark raven who sends him pack before coming into contact with another armored core deeper in. Somehow Chief is still alive and even with his joking it results in not one battle but two bas Chief’s armroed core even in a critical state after the first bout with the dark raven manages to battle again this time using a pillar as a club. It still ended with the chief defeat however the dark raven does not stick around as hangman once again blow up as now he heads off to aid with the resistance evacuation. Guarding helicopter that try to pull resistance member and people living in the city while corporation force rain down bullets and laser all around them. Whatever the outcome the dark raven then flee with rosemary's aid as now they watch the city burn. This nightmare would not stop here for the dark raven and the two women with him as while escaping rosemary helicopter would be shoot down by RD once again in his new armored core vengeance with the grind blade. He sees the only way to escape his fear of death is to kill the dark raven and is eager to end his life. Yet even an ultimate weapon can not stop this raven as RD comes to see when the dark raven takes his life. Another life taken by the dark raven even Fran admits she is scared of him as everything he touches turns to ash. Sadly this would not be the final battle for them as even after recovering rosary from her helicopter the three would have to deal with one final encounter with the corporation. In the wastelands of the world the three would wonder until the corporation final weapon caught up with them. The exusia a large flying armored core that looks to be the foe to put the dark raven in the ground with its power. Yet once again the raven turns this weapon into scrap and with it the corporation seems to fall quiet after this loss leaving the three to wonder the wasteland for the next two years as migrants. It during this time the three of them would return to the city once more, now a battleground for migrants who are savaging the resources left over and turf wars. It is here and in other sectors that large group of men of honour fighters would clash with the dark raven. Known now had as the mercenary who survived the second counterinsurgency between the resistance and Tyrrell. These units are out of his league however as the dark raven swiftly kills his foes they are unaware that in the background a senior head of the Men of honour is watching Regan. She recognizes rosemary’s emblem and at once sends out Neon a men of honour armored core mercenary to kill her and sway the dark raven to her side. In her mind She needed his power make the Men of Honour strong again under her family and rosemary she had to go after all she could not have her sister Cornella try to come back and steal her seat of power. However her senseless attacks sending Men of honour members to their death against the dark raven would soon lead to Regan orders being ignored by men of honour members with the only men of honour member willing to listening to her as she ordered him to kill her sister. This man is named Oswald Warrickshire. Another wander of the wasteland earth who as a child lost the group he was travelling with and ended up being taken in by the head of the Men of honour at the time Elisabeth Stratford who would put him through the training of the men of honour leading him to become a bouncer for Regan, a personal guard to be more on point. In two battle he would square off against the dark raven fleeing once due to damage and secretly knowing he was no match for his foe. However the second battle would be Oswald’s last as the dark raven kills him here with Rosary asking why did he work for such a man. In truth Oswald has his reasons and one is that he felt pity for Regan, who was caught in the grip of her own greed and obsession with power. His death however would send Regan into a rage and grief stricken rant as she tries to escape the place where her final chance at killing her sit sat burning. Only for this to happen. Attacked by an unknown armored core, all the dark raven, Fran and Rosemary have to go off is her sisters final words. Is that Zodiac? For the three of them the next few battles would be more zodiac armored core catching them off guard trying to kill them and finally it is clear these zodiacs are out to kill the dark raven. Knowing this rosemary comes up with a plan to work out where these zodiac armored core maybe and as such the group set out to hunt down all Zodiac members. To go into more detail All of the ACs belonging to this group were white-coloured and wore emblems resembling the constellations of the zodiac signs. ACs from No.1 to No.12 have been confirmed, each with extraordinary combat power. They suddenly appear on the battlefield and attack indiscriminately, then disappear without a trace, leaving behind the opponents whom they have defeated. But why do this? It is wrote in the book armored core v the fact page 26 that In recent years, a document was discovered that is strongly associated with the Zodiac. The documents described a being called "designed," whose aptitude and ability as an AC pilot had been enhanced by various artificial means. The Zodiac was a group of AC pilots who had been experimented on by these "designed" pilots. Designs were produced in past periods of major warfare through various types of experiments, and various models, including prototypes, were produced. The knowledge and technology related to design research is difficult for us to understand today and impossible to reproduce. From this, it can be inferred that Zodiacs were created in the distant past and have continued to live until recently. There are two hypotheses as to why they have transcended the fetters of life span and existed in the present. One is that the subjects' physical enhancement has resulted in a longer lifespan than usual. The other is that they have been in hibernation for some reason and have been inactive until recently. However, both theories lack evidence, and since all members have now died, the truth is still unknown. But even after the defeat of all 12 zodiacs, the story of the dark raven, Fran and Rosemary has one final chapter known to many as the forgotten days. To tell these events I shall read them from the translated pages I own from the armored core verdict day book the after pages ten and eleven. After the battle with the Zodiacs, Fran, Rosemary and the dark raven would set off in search of a safe haven. However as soon as they started their search the three are attack by an unknown unit which the dark raven battles with. It after the battle however that the captain of the attacking unit would contact Fran over radio informing them that a client wishes to meet with them and if they refuse he will repeat the attack as many times as needed to make them agree. Fran is reluctent to go however the three of them have little choice and head off with this unit to see this client. To the suspire of the three the client would turn out to be Goneril of the men of honour who wanted to chat with her sister and her friends about a job she had for them. It is here a semi crippled man is brought before the three named Issac. Goneril tells the three of them that this man is a witness to something called the tower, A gigantic structure of unknown nature and she wants them to find it for her with issac’s help. With little choice on the matter Fran’s team sets out on the hunt for this tower with issac in tow, however he is tight-lipped as a dead man and does not offer any help in any. With their source of information not talking the group have no choice but to gather information leading to countless battles with other migrant and the rescue of a man name Edgar Storks. Storks tells the team that he is the leader of a group named The Storks, who specialise in infiltrating deep within the contaminated areas along with telling them how he rescued issac. The story goes that issac was wandering around the city where he lived before it was swallowed up by contamination and while this was happening Issac saw the shadow of a huge tower at the far end of the contaminated area. Hearing all this Stork brought issac to the Men of honour as a live witness to the event and was paid. Although he does note that issac was in a lot better shape when he handed him over to the men of honour. This information certainly would help the group and with stork knowledge on some very interesting subjects they asked him to join them in their search. The man would in gratitude for them rescuing him but also because he had taken a liking to the dark raven, a mercenary who made quite the name for himself. With this agreed the now five strong group would follow strokes guidance deep into the contaminated area in the southern continent where he rescued Issac. It is as they do however that they find a remains of a strange facility. It is an odd sight as the facility looked like one the resistance used during the second attack on father, yet before any exploring could be done the group is suddenly hit by artillery fire making the team scatter with the dark raven ac being dropped allowing him to quick find where this attack came from. An armored core, but what is strange is it is the same model and has same emblem as the corporations Chief's armored core Hangman. To make things more strange a voice comes over their radio, the voice of Carol Dorry who calls Fran and the other failures and advises them to stop searching for the tower. At this moment issac who previously appeared to be a dead man, suddenly reacted to carol’s words asking her who she is? Carol however does not answer as the chiefs armored core leaves without another shot or word. Roseary is surpised at the suddenly reunion of old foes, however fran has a guess about who these two are. She believes that the chief and Carol are something non human that has been watching humans for a long time. After reaching the southern continent and heading deeper in, the group take a rest in a relativity unpolluted area. It’s here stork make the group aware that the place he rescued issac is nearby and that there are rumours of an unknown group attacking anyone they come across. It just as this conversion ends that the group is attacked by an unknown force, leading the dark raven to attack group and take out what looked to be the leader of the groups armored core which has a red Vendie emblem on it. This name is unknown to the group yet Issac speaks up explain that the Vendie unit is from a continent across the ocean and their goal was probably the tower. Hearing this the group rush back to their search. However more Vendie forces attack them and while small in numbers, each member of this force is a skilled fighter making the fight tough for the dark raven. Yet he would fight them off only then for a helicopter to drop in a single armored core with its pilot showing no will to fight. The pilot praises the strength of the dark raven and introduces himself as Caesar Vendie. Caesar would then go on to tell the group about this goal to obtain the tower as only the strong in his mind can control its power. Fran however is not to pleased with this as she believes its power could be used to help build a great civilization without power. Caesar is unmoved by this and instead say that he will settle this matter at the tower. Its as the group approaches the tower they notice the concentration of the contamination is increasing as if the tower itself is source of the contamination. Arriving at the foot of the tower, the vendie unit members are waiting there and the battle between Caeser and the dark raven begins. Yet this battle is interrupted by a volley of fire from the chief’s armored core hangman only this time there was not only one hangman but many. It’s seeing this that carol comes over the radio only to be interrupted by Caeser who asks if she and the others are collaborators of his father? Her answer to this is that venide and the city are experiments to explore human potential and that these experiments are their mission. Chief warns Caesar not to go looking for the truth before calling the dark raven, a dark raven as his many armored cores attack. The dark raven and Caeser would work together to battle the many hangman armored core and as they do carol speak about the reason for her and the chiefs existence. It was that they were created to protect the world and the human beings on it and by doing their mission that is what they are fulfilling. Issac however reacts strongly to this and denies the existence of such beings. He hated the humans who created this polluted world and thought anything created by these foolish humans was nothing more then a defective product. It a statement that shock Carol who asks what he really meant by this? Issac answer to her is total destruction and along with this he announces his willingness to accompany Carol and chief in their mission to prove humanity is flawed. The conversation leads Carol to active a super sized weapon to finish off the dark raven and Caeser. The pair however despise being heavily damaged from the fight with the many hangman armored core manage to destroy this super weapon. Only when they did a large amount of contamination is released from it, luckily for them stork is able to save them before the area around the tower becomes so polluted that going close to it would result in a quick death. It as they flee however that Issac has gone and no one knows where he went. With only Fran, Rosemary, Stork, the dark raven and Caesar alive, the vendie pilot tells the rest he is going to restore humanity even if he has to be apart for the administrators plan. It is hearing this that Roseary and Fran respond back by telling Cesar that they to would start their own forces against him and the entity behind him. Fran also knew that issac would become a real threat as such once safe the three of them would part ways. With Caesar retuning to mid continent, Fran and Rosary would swear to make forces that function by complementing each other as they two parted way with Rosary going back to the men of honour while Fran would go with stork. This is the end of a story buried in history, a turning point in the future of humanity. The three never talked about this journey and perhaps that was done to prevent anyone from taking the tower away from them. As for the dark raven, what happened to him remains unrecorded. This ends the story of armored core v.
+Armoored Core The story of Armored core 4 and for answer The story begins seven years before the national dismantlement with an earth much like our own only more technology advanced and with a population growing rapidly, the planet is much like our own with corporations looking to make money, the governments trying to please the people and the people making a lives for themselves. Among these people would be a researcher who to this day seems to have been wiped from history, who would discover a new particle in the south pole. This miracle particle opened the doors for corporations like akvavit and Raylonard based in Canada who at once started to research and design technology to use this particle that seem to advance their military technology to far beyond what was on offer at the time. That being at the time the use of normals and Muscle tracers, these are best described as the first humanoid style machine of war with Normals being more human like with arms and legs and able to carry weapons. While Muscle tracers are best seen as labour machine modified for war or turrets with legs. However with Kojima techonogy the next step to these would be huge machine of war that would come to be known as next. Large, powerful machine of war that could be customized with weapons so large a helicopter would needed to simply lift it into the hands on these machines of war. They would come with armour thicker then anything on offer and a new shielding technology that would make machine gun fire of mts and normals bounce off it. However the designing and production of these super machine of war would take years and be done in secret, no government on earth would know of their production however other corporations would not be so blind. For soon another corporation Omer Science technology a West Asian military company would start to dive into this research too. A secret information war would begin between the three as they sought to discover what their rivals had built or discovered this information however would not take long to slip into the hands of other corporations who also began to build and research these new super weapons. It during this time of next research that a professor by the name of Jarnefelt would come up and design the new piloting system for these nexts during his time working for a research institute by the name of Aspina. The Allegorical Manipulation System where The pilot's nerves are wired, or "linked" into the NEXT's electronics allowing for lightning-fast reaction time and perfect manipulation of parts. This along with The Integrated Regulation System, the centralized AC control system stored within the craft's head. This computer would processes data output from the AMS to turn electric signal into data, then fills in any gaps in the pilot's commands and then relay them to the parts. The IRS system also handled the data from the AC's camera eyes and sensors. It was this man team that pushed Next beyond the idea of simply being upgraded Normals and made these super weapons something now not any solider or pilot could jump into and use. The reason for this is this new system required its user to be compatible with it otherwise these Next would simple becoming lumbering, stuttering and highly ineffective if gang up on by normals as such Aspina would become the first to test this technology with help from our sponsor Omer Science and become the experts on this new system. However this discovery could not be kept hidden for long as soon other corporations caught on, the information war between corporations would not let any discover slip as such Aspina would soon find corporations paying for this technology for their own nexts. Aspina like any institute went along with some even claiming it hid the research from government or simple had Omer Science encourage them to keep this technology this way. It would lead to years passing with the total number of nexts rising, the world however was not thriving. For during these years the earth experienced a period of rapid population growth, which put a strain on global food and energy supplies. The gap between the wealthy and the poor became more and more with poorer families unable to feed their children, keep themselves warm or enjoy life it quickly lead to unrest. Protests and peaceful actions however did nothing as earth governments tried to reassure people it would be fixed or simple ignored the cries of their people. In the end violence began to erupt and the governments quickly lost control of their populations as their cities were consumed by terrorism and anarchy. No one was safe, looting of stores and the killing of law official's became more and more common as people turned on each other. In the end scared for their lives and seeing this as their only option People began turning to corporations, complete with private armies, to keep them safe from the chaos. To the people these corporations became their last hope, But to the six largest corporates at this time Global armament of America, Eqbal, the Bernard and Felix Foundation, Leonemeccanica Rayleonard and Rosenthal. They saw this as an opportunity, the governments of the world had failed and people were desperate that they had abandoned the law that protect them. The perfect time to rise up and take power for themselves and so they did. They launching a full scale war on the nations of the world which would become to be known as the National Dismantlement War. The corporations were ruthless as using their own private armies supported by Nexts the corporations obliterated the forces of the nations and declared victory in less than a month. With the nations of the world toppled, the corporations set out to work on a new system of government. This new era of government would become known as the "Pax Economica" Economic Peace where loyalty and service to the corporations guaranteed food and survival. However behind this fancy name the truth is the people of earth were forced into corporate-run colonies where they would become slaves serving wealthy corporate masters with hard manly labour with no unions or health and safety to protect them. These new rulers of earth rationed the resources and food to the people as they could not trust a population to turn on them like their governments before. However its among these colonies that one remained independent, the home of professor Jarnfelt Anatolia. After his time with Aspina, the professor returned to the colony where with his team of next scientists He single-handedly supplied the core of Anatolia's prosperity with the profits from his designs and creations. Some of these designs include the AMS NEXT control system which the corporations still needed help with. Its during this time of independence however that the daughter of the professor a young women by the name of fiona Jarnefeld would rescue a raven from his next. It was not unusual as these ravens where in fact mercenaries who still pilot the normals for corporations as colony guard even since their wipe spread use in the national dismantlement war, but since then have either been forced into working for a corporation to fur fill basic needs or join independent groups to survive be they terrorist or warlords. What was strange about this raven was the fact he was piloting a next, the new sign of power for these corporations. Even at this time most corporation would not simply let one go however for Fiona she seem to only care for the pilot who seem to be in bad shape and needing care while the rest of the scientists of anatolia did what any scientist would they recovered the damaged next and transported it back to the colony piece by piece. Sadly even though the raven would recover he would be unable to speak leading him to become dependent on fiona and the colony. The science team of anatoila would rebuild the next but soon after the years would soon catch up to fiona’s farther and after just four years after the end of the national dismantlement war he would die leaving the colony in trouble. For without the professor, the colony lost its main income leading to many of his team to leave anatolia and take up new lives in the Aspina leading to more loss of income. This change put the colony of anatoila into economic crisis as without a way for them to buy food and resources they would be forced to become a corporation run colony leading to a hard and cruel life. As such The colony's welfare the fell upon the shoulders of Emil Gustav, a member of the professor's development staff. He however was no young man himself and his knowledge on next designs where nothing like the professors instead he was more a political player. The man had been the one to make the deals with corporations for food and resources, he knew how these corporations thought as such he came up with a plan to help anatolia. His plan was to use their now resident raven and his rebuilt next as a mercenary for hire. It was a plan that rested the life of the colony solely on the shoulder of this raven and with the fact these people had rescued him what choice did the silent pilot have? Of course being the kind young women she is Fiona at once seem to argue with the political minded elder. However her young mind was not match for a man who dealt with mind of far greater manipulation as such seeming to notice the care she held for this raven Emil would put pressure on her too explaining this is the only way and that she would have to play a part too as the operator of their new mercenary for hire. In his own words he even admits to using the raven and through him Fiona but he did what had to be done to keep food on the table. After this the preparations would be for the rise of anatolia’s mercenary with Emil weaving his political mind and words he manages to get their new mercenary a sponsor through Global armament. This corporation had started to fall behind the other in next development making them weaker in the eyes of the other corporations and being the largest of them all spread across countries like America, japan, china and even some parts of Europe their forces were stretched thin they needed all the firepower they could. However for this deal to be sealed, GA wanted to see this mercenary in action as such he was given his first mission codenamed first strike. This mission would have the mercenary go in alone against a large terrorist force that set up shop in Gryphon an independent city who had been taken over by the terrorists. These terrorists wanted this place as base of operations to strike back at their corporate overlords yet GA wanted to rebuild it for their own purposes. As such with a transport plane supplied by GA, anatoila mercenary would be picked up from its home and move to the city. Anatolias mercenary performance here would be enough to impress GA representatives who later would shake hands with emil as the pair entered into this sponsorship all the while Fiona seem to try and distance herself from the man she saved with professional attitude towards him however her worry could still be heard. After this Anatolia’s mercenary would become a key part in taking down the largest terrorist group known to the corporates at the time, the Maghrib Liberation Front. Originating from White Africa which is guessed to be located in south Africa, the front quickly grew to become a threat to the corporations with two nexts within their arsenal, normals and conventional forces. They spread across the world with other groups joining the cause, anatolai mercenary would kill many of these terrorists who occupied normal producing factories to even power generation plants most would either die by the mercenaries hand or flee for their lives only to be hunted down by the corporations forces after. Anatoila mercenary most notable missions during this time would be the take over of two of the Mag liberation front bases, the Eritrean Stronghold where the front had acquired nuclear missiles and was using it as a staging area to launch these attacks from and the Gelts'a Fortress a large heavily armed area believed to be based located within a canyon near Marrakech, Morocconear. It was used before the national dismantlement war. in ethnic cleansing done by warlords however the liberation front moved in after and made it a key base in their operations. And the defeat of one of the liberations most prized and heroic members, the lynx Amazigh and his next Barbaroi. He had proven himself a true force against the corporations and won many battle for the front when it began making him a hero in their eyes. However as famously said all heroes must die and amazigh time would come by the hands of anatolia’s mercenary in Former Peace City believed to be located north of Ha'il in Saudi Arabia. It was to be an ambush where the mercenary would catch the hero whilst being transported by a large truck leaving him unable to fight back. There are very different reports on what happened with some claiming the mercenary managed to get the drop on the terrorist hero while other will say he fought with the mercenary as he knew about the ambush. In the end however the hero and the main power house of the front would die leading the corporations to perform clean up operations of the front soon leaving their number limited as anatolia mercenary fame would only rise as would his price. For all this time emil would not let the corporations underpay, the killing of such a figure made the mercenary worth more which emil would use to keep the pay coming and the corporations seem to accept this. However this victory however seem to be all part of the corporation plan for all this time the six corporations had kept up with their information war and development rivalry of kojima technology, in fact the front had been so well supplied thanks to them, funding them from the shadows to try and undermine each other. The front however had grown too strong as such they had to go finally leaving the corporation no choice but to take matters into their own hands. Anatolia Mercenary would once again be brought into battles however this time the foes he’d be fighting would even more organised as if they had military training however the raven did not ask questions leaving the talking to emil and Finoa The next few missions would see him attack a terrorist supply line with omer flying normals as guards, protect a BFF ice breaker tanker from submarines which are produced by omer science however the corporation claimed they had no idea about the attack, protect anatolia from the remains of the mag liberation front who come for revenge, the death of Sus the last mag liberation front next in a last stand and finally a mission codenamed inter purge. This missions goal was this. It turns out all this time the eurpeon branch of GA named GAE had be working on Kojima technology however they had become almost zealots about the research. They even started to communicate and even share designs with a company called Akvavit. A company working with rayleonard since the start of kojima’s discovery the two wanted to break into the ballistic market in europe and by working with GAE they hoped to do this. However with GA consequently blocking this idea and even going as far as to launch an attack on the main base of GAE known as the hedi arsenal disguised as a terrors group some months ago which was stopped by anatolia mercery who was hired by GAE. This time the Globel armament eurpo branch decided to break away and join Akvavit of their own according which in turn threatened the market GA had in that area as such this purge was issued as the branch could not be allowed to take any information or tech with them as such anatolia’s mercenary was ordered to take out the sol dios GAE lastest war machine and dela with the GAE guards if they try to stop him. And so the mercenary went, the attack was devastating as with no nexts on sight and all sol dios still being worked on the mercenary ripped through the nromals on guard and destoired the objectives only then to suddenly hear. Fiona had picked up a next expecting an akvavit next both her and anatolia’s mercenary are surprised to discover that it was in fact a ga next. Was it here to help them? Sadly not as soon the ga next opens fire on the mercenary leaving him not choice but to fight back. The battle is over just as fast as it began as finally fiona manages to get data on the defeat next as Mio ruh GA ace lynx and an original next from the national dismantlement war. This confuses her as what would mean? Did Ga send their one of their to get rid of anatolia mercenary when he was done or was this next a akavit spy who came to help her company. The truth may never be known as Mio ruh would die there and little did anatolia mercenary know that he had just started a war. For with this action akvavit came out swinging claiming that the purge was a direct assault on them it would be the first open conflict since the pax inception. This however echo through all the corporation who at once went to war without ideology or reason turning the earth into a battlefield once more and in emil eyes the perfect chance to gain more money for anatolia through their know well known mercenary. Rumors of him being as powerful as any lynx from the national dismantlement war who where known as originals. Fiona dreaded this as she knew the man she healed would be put into harms way more but of course emil could not see this as he weaved his political skills once more to encourage the now waring corporations to hire their powerful lynx. Antolia mercenary would soon sortie again his missions would see him take down other originals like Lamda from leoinmeccia in the mission line of defence, Sadhanna the number 2 original from equal, critique from aldra a small company looking to expand it terroty along with reclaiming Gyron city from leonmeccia forces and destorying their power generator megalis. This list however did not end here as also during this early war phase the mercenary would discover that raylonard had been developing a new type of next in an underground faclity named the levanteer. Here he would battle three of these powerful new nexts only to discover from fiona that these next looked to be from her fathers old designs. These nexts looked like the prototype next, a machine that killed it pilot from how much information it feed the pilots brain and nerves. It also polluted the areas it operated in with how much kojima particles it released during use making the professor destroy it plans and research. However it seem rayloenard would not let this machine of death die and instead taking another of the professor designs the 002b created these automated machines that would deadly even to nexts. It seem rayloenard was willing to win by any cost. Anatolia’s mercenary however had little time to rest as once again he was soon sent out taking out another orginal by the name of Mary Shelley from the berend and flexi corporation before finally performing a mission that would send the war between corporations into full force and take sides. The codename for this mission was break the white lance, its details are this. The death of all high ranking official on the berand and fleix water based headquarters known as queen’s lance. The Mercenary would not disappoint as fighting his way through the fleet that protected the queen he showed no mercy as he blasted it killing thousands inside and ending one of the six corporations that started this new world. It was a victory that shocked even fiona who at this point had been allowing herself to grow closer to the mercenary now admit she misses the days she saw him as something other then what he had become. However the unstoppable anatoila mercenary and his operator had little time to rest as soon their home became under attack from an unidentified large scale destructive weapon in the underground gear tunnel that brought supplies to the colony. Picking this weapon fiona for the first time pleads the mercenary to stop it. As always this unrivalled mercenary does he job and stops the giant weapon, this would later be found to be called the URSRAGNA a corporation made giant weapon. It this that sends shiver down the spine of fiona as she realises that their home is now a target for the corporations and their target had to be the colonies unstoppable mercenary who had become a threat to all corporations with his skill and power. His actions had brought upon the start of the lynx war where raylonard and akvavit feeling the pressure gathered all their resources and launched suspire attacks on the corporations of GA, Omer science and Rosenthal. Countless colonies fell and the kojima contamination from these nexts went unchecked. These three would enter into a truce and fight back while lecommecia hide away letting the five fight. In the early stage of the war Omer’s force would be hit hard resulting in them taking a defensive war against the invading forces its here the mercenary would learn of another mercenary who seem to share his skills in a next. Joshua o brain from the colony of Aspina, Fiona friend and a face that anatoila mercenary could put to the white next who came to his aid or hinder him. The two however would have little time for words as under omer orders Joshu would head off into battle to aid their forces while anatolia merceny had his own missions. These would include cleaning up benard an fleix remainders including the heir to the corporation Francisca and her brother Eugene and the occupations of several former bff locations including the Razghul colony’s subterranean faclity, the zextex airport and The kojima sphere faculty who’s ownership would be fall under the alliance of GA, Omer science and Rosenthal during this time. After this antolia mercenary and Joshua would meet again in a mission codenamed sol dios which asked the pair to destroy the a new force of the same weapons from the heidai arsenal only now they were complete and crushing colonies under their feet as they moved toward sing the biggest GA colony in asia. At once the pair moved out and again there are two account of what happened one will tell that the pair worked together to take out this force and another will say that Joshua had to retreat due to damage leaving anatolia’s mercenary to take care of the whole lot. However the hard battles for anatolia mercenary kept coming with a call to take out another original by the name of Anjou a raylonard next who captured the Hazen Facility and has ben luring nexts their to kill them with close range combat. However Anjou would only cross swords with anatolia mercenary once before he put her down. It after this fight that fiona comment how it sounded like Anjou was having fun in that battle and how relived she is that the mercenary came out as the winner. Its here that it seems the operator and the mercenary have become close and this would seem to be prove the case on the next mission. Marche au supplice In this misson the mercenary is tasked with working together with a rosenthal and omer ally nexts namely Noblesse oblidge and Null to take out the elite group of raylonard originals. If they are taken out raylonard will be without nexts. It after all this is explained that Fiona has words for her raven. With this anatolia mercenary heads into battle, however depending on reports one will say that the mercenary go their in time and aided his fellow lynx in defeating the rayleonard next. However there is another report one that puts anatolia’s mercenary alone against the four, this at once panics fiona who at once requests a retreat in a panicked tone however it seem emil either pulls her away from her duty or take over as she goes into panic as he tell the mercenary to carry on the mission as the four will be weak after the battle with their two downed allies. It is as far as anyone is concerned a miracle or a real show case of anatolia mercenary skill as he manages to defeat all four of the nexts as he comes to a stop to hear Emila say After returning to the transport Fiona is stunned, she admit she is amazed at what the mercenary has just done and how unfair it was to ask of him. She even suggest that after this is all done that she and him get away from all of this. A wish to take away the man she saved from al his hardships. The young women wish however would have to wait as the mercenary is called for one last job. To end this war GA and Omer would order Joshua and anatolia mercenary to take down the headqauters of Akvavit and Raylonard. Joshu would take akvavit while the mercenary would take down raylonard. Both would succeed and that day the lynx war would come to a close. With victors of this war taking their prizes from the fallen corporations including scientists, tech and land. Anatolia mercenary job seem to have finally be done, he was granted leave with Fiona as anatolia had accumulated enough cash to survive for the time being. However it seems a certain corporation was not done with him yet. As after a small rest anatolia would come under attack by an unknown foe. Fiona is the first to pick it up and she seem shocked as she even tells the mercenary to stay back but he goes out to meet this foe. By the time he arrives however the foe has already taken out most of the colony and suddenly a voice come over the radio. The voice of Joshu o brain. Piloting the prototype next it would come out later that omer had blackmailed the young man into piloting the craft or is home colony of aspina would suffer. He had no hatred toward his fellow mercery he just wanted to save his home, the two best fighters in this war clashed and anatolia mercenary would come out the victor. Yet this battle would not end even after this as suddenly an omer next attacks, this lynx named Celo came looking to kill the wounded mercenary however he would be the one to die here. Its here that as the mercenary stands there catching his breath that a voice would come over his radio. He had saved what he could of their home and finally his time as anatolia mercenary would come to an end here. As emil puts it best. However though it may not be his place, it is mine. For after this anatolia mercenarys tale would continue and become a legend even the remaining corporation would come to fear. In aftermath of the war between the six corporations that took over the world now only four remained Global armament, Leonemeccanica, Raylonard and Omer Science. The war had left them all going into recovery as production of normals continued and next developments continued while their rebuilt their forces. However the four giants had a new problem. The world they ruled over had become poisoned, thanks to their unchecked use of Nexts, these machine of war that ran on kojima particles had contaminated the planet and their work force was dying. People who came into contact with the contaminated areas would suffer the same side effects as radiation poisoning and seeing this the corporate leaders made it their goal that they would not die the same way as such research into a solution began. It during this time a lot of change would begin, starting with Leonemeccanica who would complete it merge with another smaller corporation known as Melies in Africa. This small corporation specializing in lasers and rocket engine technologies had entered merge talks after the national dismantlement war however like any merger the process took years to iron out, with shareholders votes, CEO’s approvals, supply lines and the matter of negotiations of terms its finally here that a new corporation was created. Bearing the name interior union this new corporation would now hold Africa and some parts of Europe causing new friction with Global Armaments. As being based in Europe as well this new corporation had managed to control the fossil fuel market forcing the other corporations who could not produce their own fuels to buy from them and Global armament would be one of these. Along with this however what also caused the blood of GA to boil is that the interior union also help fund a new start up corporation which would be named torus. The issue here is this corporation came from the remains of the Global Armaments Europe meaning the effort GA had put in to put down these people had been wasted. Torus would not only cause trouble for GA however as later on it would be documented that akvavit and some raylonard researchers would come seeking employment within this new corporation putting some of the greatest and perhaps dangers minds back into kojima research and put them on par with the minds of Omer science research team. Still what this new corporation had done did not please GA and after the last war they did not have the supplies nor firepower to take on this untouched corporation and their side project as such GA did what any corporation did best and reached into its deep pocket and brought stakes in the new interior union corporation. This allowed them a small return from the profits the inter-union made, however all this was doing was getting a small amount of their own money back to them when they brought the fossil fuels, a case of balancing the books. Another factor that also prevent Global armament from trying to take over is the fact that the corporation had started to invest heavily in a reforming Bernard and Felix corpora tion. For through nationalistic centripetal force the corporation had found new leadership and managed to maintain most of their assets and lands however the new leadership quickly took side with Global armaments perhaps due to the fact that the biggest power at the time not only invested heavily in them to help with the rebuild but also installed some of their own within as advisers. This quickly allowed them to become the second largest power base in the world however what they really became was a puppet for GA. Who’s influence would soon be felt when BFF started to produce next weapons again only this time they seem to share the build philosophy of GA rather then what they produced before. Yet while these corporations were rebranding and bring back the dead, Another corporation was taking control in a different way. Omer Science technology, this corporation may have seem like a large player during the lynx war however in truth at the time they where simply a subsidiary of the Rosenthal corporation meaning that Rosenthal partially owned them and when the war came it was Rosenthal that put the most into the war effort. However after rayleonard fell, Omer quickly stepped into to employ some of their next engineers and researchers giving them an edge on their kojima research and products as they started to incorporate the knowledge of these minds to their products. This was the tipping point as Rosenthal started to lose a grasp on their subsidiary in fact while Rosenthal is recorded to be more wealthy then any of the other corporations, it seems they lacked the political and business skills of Omer as quickly after Omer would be able to buy all of the Rosenthal shares in Omer and become independent. While they were throwing money about they made technocrat a military company that was once a state-owned enterprise of the former nation of Russia their subsidiary given them some control in Russia and formed an alliance with the newly rebranded equal in south Asia who had become Algerbra after suffering loses in the lynx war. Omer Science however did not stop here as with all this behind them, the corporation political minds would become another weapon they would use as they came up with the league of corporations. Since all these new corporations had started to spring up and what happened in the last war the corporations saw that they could not have one person rule everything try as they wish. Because the simple fact was should that person fall they would all go back to fighting one another and be unable to focus on keeping an iron grip on their lands. As such the league was born, this union of corporation who’s goal was to keep the peace and order in this corporate run world. This quickly however became dominated by Omer science who seem to have sway within the league making corporations like GA and Torus start to act independent with GA doing so because they felt the league was holding back their ambitions while Torus acted out due to background of where it came from. In truth the league was falling apart before it began as the corporations true interests lied in surviving and becoming stronger. And for them the answer to how they would survive came soon after on the form of floating cites which would be named Cradles. Massive airship colonies holding millions of civilians at 7,000 meters above the ground. The League of Ruling Companies created them to save the elite from the rising pollution on the surface, these new saviours however required power to stay afloat as such the corporations went back to the very particle killing their plant. Ground-based Kojima power production facilities known as Arteria's which transmit power to the airships through microwaves. It seems the league had saved the population for the problem they had caused, however there was a problem. For taking information from the book armored core a new order for nexts. The only two corporations who could produce these life saving cradles was GA and Interior Union leading to other members having to rent or purchase them. This would only cause more friction between the league members and if this was not enough the arteria to power these cradle also fell under ownership of other corporations like rosenthal this project to save earth had turned into a business for these corporations. Still money would trade hands and soon these flying cities would start to become homes for earths people. Yet again there was a catch for the first up in the cradles were not the everyday man or women, no the first up would be the corporation leaders themselves, their family and anyone they deemed necessary. This caused a public outrage, selective picking while everyday more and more became ill. The league of course had their private military keep order and encourage people that everyone would get a chance to have a new home. The truth however is that would only half of earths population would find new homes in these cradles as they could not be built fast enough and the flame of a rebellion grew. This rebellion however started out not violent but a message as thousands grew tired of the corporation lies and what they had done. Thousands of people from all backgrounds and races came together to form the largest ground base power on earth at the time and created a maritime city-state named Link Ark. The message from this new group was clear This message however did not shake the corporations in fact they ignored this group for a while allowing them to walk in and take owner ship of megales. Little did they know that among these people would be the very raven that brought down their foes in the war before and his operator who some believe held some power within link ark as soon Anatolia mercenary would rise again under a new name White Glint. He however was not the only lynx to survive the war and the league had still been using nexts for disruption operations during their rebuilding. It can not be argued however that it was anatola’s mercenary actions in the last war that had made one thing clear to the corporations. They could not trust these lynx nor nexts, their war machines of the last war where too uncontrollable as such they needed a new machine of war they could control and a way to try to keep an even closer eyes on old and new Lynxs and restrict them. The answers to these problem came to the league in the form of Collard and Arms-forts. Collard would be the name of the earth based organisation responsible for management and control of the worlds Lynx. Under the jurisdiction of the league all lynxs would now have to be registered and be bond to receiving missions only from this organisation who would act on behalf of both parties. Non registered lynx would be give the name irrigators and treated as threats to the league goals. In reality however collard was simple the league way to keep an eye on nexts numbers and control them after all they did not want another anatolia mercenary. However while effective at first with old lynx either retiring and new lynx accepting the system as normal the league focus shifted soon after to the replacements for nexts and collard slowly started to become corrupt and simple another omer pawn. As for their new controllable military might, these would be become Arms-forts and they are best exampled as Controllable military might, the lives of millions of people all under the thumb of corporations in one colossal machine of war. If one is pull back the curtain of the league it is These new war machines that are the real reason the cradles took so long to make. Proprieties shifted once the elites were safe and to ensure their control over their lands remained these new powers had to be out before another corporation got their first. And slowly these machine of war rolled out taking between five to seven years to build, they put down irrigators and any unskilled collard lynx that dared attacked them and the might of the corporations on show for all to see epically other members of the league. In fact the truth is during all this the corporation had been at war. An Economic war which saw the corporations working on developing their power and profits while not involving themselves in a full-scale conflict. Small skirmishes and even next battles had been happening even and the league was nothing more then a front for corporations to hide behind while they tried to undermine each other. But it is one event would cause the corporations to lean back into their next using ways. The near defeat of an armsfort and link arks only ever attack on a league arms-fort, the battle between Line Ark’s only next White Glint and the Bernard and Felix arms-fort the spirit of mother will. For link ark all this time had not sat about either, building the largest ground based force on earth and giving anatolia’s mercenary a new next to pilot. Thanks to corruption within collard Anatolia mercenary had managed to register as pilot named unknown with only the name of his new next White Glint on record this allowed him to take mercenary work from the corporations which had lead to this battle. A member of league had sent out the enemy of the league to take out a fellow corporations super weapon. Although not an uncommon task, it is the arms-fort near defeat that shakes the corporations into action as at once the corporations see blood in the water. The time for more active strikes had come and with that came the need for more Lynxs. Among these new lynxs that the corporations would hire would be a pilot by the name of strayed, there is no record of exactly where this pilot came from however what is known is that the lynx was mute. Not exactly the best for a pilot, however it seems this lynx had someone to be his voice for him. A women by the name of Serena haze, how the two came together is rather unclear as some reports will say she was the lynx mentor and came with him as a mercenary team, Others will say that Collard teamed her up with lynx to train him for the league. Whatever the case maybe what is important here is that this women in no simple collard instructor or mercenary with little experience. For her real name is Katsumi Sumika a former lynx of Leonemeccanica who had left her role as a corporation lynx, now becoming the mentor and voice of this new lynx. Her attitude however is not that of kind women helping a poor pilot, it is more a strict instructor as she refers to the lynx as rookie during their first mission together as Lynx and Operator under Collard. This mission would prove simple for the new lynx as with their next, he eliminates the defence forces of Line ark made up of MTS and Normal before pulling back in this little show of force requested by the league. In truth however the negotiations between the league and Link Ark would not improve as the fighting between the corporations went on and Line Ark not willing to bend to the will of the league. Strayed however would not be out of work as the missions keep coming from the waring league members as the lynx would take part in a series of missions from either from GA or their partner The Bernard and Felix corporation. These would include taking out an inter-union navel fleet in dock, Stopping an omer attacking force trying to take over BFF Kojima sphere facility or destroying an Algebra forces guarding the Richland Agricultural Plant. However these are not the only missions strayed could have taken as also missions from Omer Science or inter-union came to the new lynx too. These included taking down his first armfort a giga base being guarded by BFF 8 th fleet which we see that a new invention the Vanguard over booster used by White Glint in it fight against the sprit of mother will is still in it test phase as it nearly explodes while carrying strayed. Making Serena comment about how their employers are treating strayed like a gunnies pig for their unfinished project. And escorting inter-union transports through a GA held territory which would be used later for another of strayed mission where the lynx would battle his first next Wonderful body. Its in this mission that Staryed and his operator will notice how strange the piloting of wonderful body is as the craft seem to hop a lot and boost about very little and is even hear over the radio while fighting saying. Its a sign to both of them knew meant that this lynx is a case of a normal pilot being promoted up to lynx, only he seems to still being using normal pilot tactics in a next. Strayed however show no mercy as he kills his foe before his operator comments Mission complete. You handled it flawlessly. Better than I expected. Then again, he was hardly a real challenge. A harsh but truthful comment but one that show the skill level that strayed was performing at even at this early stage of his time as a lynxs. Never the less there is also the chance strayed could work for omer science taking out the defences of Torus mining faculty or clearing out the now flooded shanghi of BFF and GA force. Whatever missions strayed chooses they all boil down to the league members fighting among themselves. However it is after these missions that strayed would be called into action by the league itself asking the lynx to retake an empty cradle with the explanation (Play take back cradle 21 miaaion breif) Terrorists, it seems even the league was not safe from their past with anti-establishment groups, strayed however is quick to answer with his operator explaining the force is only made up of normals. However this is not true for among these terrorists would be a four 002b. The automated nexts that years ago anatolia mercenary had fought. Seeing this Serena is able to explain to staryed what these crafts are and warn him to watch out for blades showing the information on these new nexts is now common knowledge. Yet what the appearance of these automated next really show is that a corporation was supplying terrorists with weapons again. However since the next had become common knowledge pin pointing where it came from would only lead to speculation as cradle 21 ownership is never discussed fingers could be pointed at all of them. But for staryed and his operator this was no concern of them as what really concerned them is the next missions they would receive, as either one would finally put staryed on the map as an elite mercery. For strayed would be presented with choice as both GA and Omer science came to the lynx with a job, Both corporations wanted the lynx to take down an arms-forts, on GA’s side they wanted the lynx to take down cabrcan an algebra arms-fort effectively taking down a large military asset of a league member and ally of Omer Sciene. Oh the other hand from Omer science they wanted the lynx to take down the spirit of mother will, the foe white glint nearly did. To them this would take out a military asset of a rebellious league member. Though there is no definitive answer on which mission strayed took for the shake of history I shall cover them both. Should strayed choose to take down Cabrcan not only does this take out perhaps Algerbas only arms-fort however what also shows is the general lack of information shared to lynxs by corporations and disliking of lynx within the corporations own private forces. The first example is after strayed destories the tracks of Cabracan as requested in the mission brief however suddenly the sides of the arms-fort drop off and large Arial drones start being fire out and attacking. Serena is shocked about this and even complains later when Ga reinforcement announce their apporch saying sh, the cavalry huh? Looks like they new about the situation. They just left us in the dark. You hear that? They're coming to reinforce us. Hang in there. The next point comes short after as suddenly the commander of the reinforcement says We've run into trouble. Our Arms Fort has suddenly halted. We can't provide support. You're on your own. You're the one getting paid the big bucks, right? Take care of the situation. Trouble? What the hell are you talking about? You've got some nerve, don't you. We'll have a little chat after this mission's over. The private forces make an excuse not to help the mercenary and it seems to be over pay. Another way the corporations have turned the public against Lynx? This may be the case however even alone staryed is able to complete the mission and this become his first downed arms-fort. On the other side of the coin should strayed choose to take out the spirit of motherwill, the lynx will not only take down the arms-fort making his mentor operator praise him, but the lynx will also take out Killdozer, a low ranking next who seems to be suffering from the use of AMS as he can only speak in short sentences and tends to simple growl or make noises over communications. Still Staryeds take out of either arm-fort would not go unnoticed by two groups, the first being the higher ranking lynx of collard who will talk about it for a moment before talking about an attack on an ateria, the power source for the cradles. Wynde fancion one of collard top lynx mention the ones who attack the ateria and how they attacked it in broad day light before Wang sho lung comments. If you cannot follow the rules then you can not play the game. its the same whether your link ark or the ghost of raylonard. Though no names are mentioned should strayed instead defeat cabracan he will get this communication between a different group. This communication would be between Orca members, a force that would come into action later on in time. However what is important to take from here is the name Hari, a collard lynx that a member of this group say he may let him off his lead too early. With both these communication together the true picture comes together as one of the lynx to attack the artira would be Hari who would be recognised thank to him piloting the same craft he regiestered with Collard. This would lead to him being expelled from Collard however this information would not be shared with collard lynx instead kept internal. This would also be back up in the book armored core a new order for nexts on page four. However since they was used to describe the attack force either Hari had Orca forces with him or another next with him. A theory here comes from the line the ghost of raylonard itself as this would point to another member of orca Shinkai a former raylonard next test pilot who excelled. He is on record as shown by his bio An authentic Rayleonard Lynx, the only survivor. This would make him the ghost of raylonard and perhaps Hari partner in this attack. Still speculations aside and returning to strayed. The Lynx would see more action taking down another collard next by the name of Irbis Ornstein former commander of the bhret squad in the mission attack on PA-N51, A GA armsfort Great wall and unbeknown to the pilot at the time he would start to fight members of Orca who seem to become more active since their rushed attack on one of the aritrias. The first Orca member Staryed would face is a man named Luster 18 in the mission defeat unknown next at the Richland Agricultural Plant where it seems he has been active for a while as comments from the Lynx Dario Empio who states An Irregular? Looks like many of Collared's NEXTS have gone down here. Hmph. This won't be a waste of time after all. Along with Luster 18 own comments during the Misson where he says. Whose peon is it this time? Perfect timing. I was getting tired of Arms Forts Staryed would put this lynx down with ease before moving on to his next mission where again he would face off against not one but two Orca Lynx and a very unlucky collard lynx patch in the mission Defeat Unknown NEXT + No Count" The two Orca next here to fall to Staryed would be Buppa Zu Gan the green quad next and PQ the brown next. As for no count there are different reports as some will state the collard next begged for his life leaving strayed to let him go while others will say no count would fall here too. The reason for them all? The answer is that these orca members where all out here taking out league assets. Lynx, next's, arm-forts even conventional forces. All in an effort to weaken the league for the next part of their plan. However for Staryed their defeat would make the lynx beecome more and more known and his power being recognised even by the league and Link Ark. It here then that the history of this lynx becomes spilt as it seem depending on his choices the history of Staryed would lead to three different outcomes. As such I shall spilt these down as they have become to be know, the league path, the orca path and the destruction path. I shall start with the league path The league path After proving his might and some would say loyalty to the league, Strayed is contacted by the league to perform a task most would consider suicide. To defeat White Glint at his home in Line ark. However he would not be alone however as explained in the mission briefing. Together Ostrava and Strayed would strom line ark with leagues covensal forces dealing with link ark own. The two would face down the lynx who skills his rank did not justice, his operator giving the attacking lynx a warning before they attacked that lethal force would be used. Strayed and the number one collard lynx however would not back down as the two over-boosted into battle with Line arks protector. The battle was not an easy one, for even against two lynxs, White Glint proved to be more then capable seeming to force ostrva to be more argressive in his battle with the neck breaking speedy white next. Ostrva seem to be goading his foe telling him how he had surpassed the lynx and how all the legends of white glint would end today by his hand. However this would not be the case as staryed with his attention either taken by some line ark normals or having to rest behind cover from the fight. Ostrva and White Glint would engage in a fast and furious air battle above Line ark, two blinking light is all that could be seen before suddenly over the radio. Ostrva had been hit in his main boosters, the part that would allow him to stay above the water. Without it strayed could only watch as his league mission partner fell into the sea, sinking quick and leaving White Glint to turn his attention on Strayed. The battle would continue between the two and finally after more close shaves and assault armour blasts it looked to be White Glint turn to sink into the oceans depth. Yet as Staryed stopped to watch suddenly the protector of line ark would rise again, to this day there is question of too how this lynx did this yet his booster engaged and strayed once again fought back. In the end however White Glint would meet his match, sinking into the depth of the ocean as strayed would watch, this time with weapons ready in case. However the next stayed down as such the mission was over and strayed would retreat back to leave the league to deal with the line ark forces. To the world that day collard lost its number on Lynx and link ark had lost their protector. It would be an easy victory for league, they had put down the one power that threatened their cradles. Or so they would have the world believe as in truth this battle was all part of a plan. For after strayed left, the league forces also started to pull back. Why? Because they had been ordered too. The league had done what it wanted to do without White Glint Link ark was a matter they could clean up later as such while the battle seem to be a link ark victory in truth it left them weak and not paying attention. As while Link ark force gave chase, an orca underwater team would extract the down league pilot and take him with them for he would needed for the next part of their plan. Its along with this that at the same time a rescue team would be sent out to recovery White Glint Lynx by link ark. However they could not bring up the next they still would be able to save the man Fiona had grown to love. Alas hidden from this all Strayed would continue to serve the corporations in missions leading to him to down four more collard nexts named red rum and strka in the mission defeat red rum and straker. And Wiz and Yei in the mission Defeat Silent Avalanche allow omer science to finally lay claim to the sphere facility. Along with these strayed would take down a Torus Sol dios arms-fort, the power recycling plant megales leaving Link ark powerless and take down the 8th fleet of BFF. Staryed loyalty to the league had been proven however it seems suddenly out of nowhere that the loyal league lynx would be called into action by Rosenthal. A corporation that had been quiet since the start of this new war they suddenly had a mission for Staryed Your assignment is to protect the large-scale Arteria facility, Carpals. We've received intelligence it'll be attacked by several unknown NEXTS. Our current information is unconfirmed and possibly unreliable. However, as Carpals is one of the key facilities supporting the Cradle system, it goes without saying, the client is taking no chances in the defence. Rosenthal has deployed its most powerful NEXT, Noblesse Oblige, to guard Carpals. Work with Noblesse to take out the attacking NEXTS. Carpals is also protected by its own highly effective defence system. You shouldn't have any major problems It was an odd request seeing as the corporation felt it defence system is so effective however the loyal strayed would head out with his back-up too soon see these was not in fact several next but one next and it had wiped out all the defences of Carpals. Staryed partner for his mission noblesse oblige is shocked. However he goes in commenting he is targeting a blue irrigator. Yet this next they are fighting is white? Staryed did not ask questions as he set off to join in the fight. The lynx they would fight would be an orca member named Julius Emery and she seem to be able to hold her own against the two taughting strayed as she says . What's wrong? Aren't you the Line Ark survivors? Here taught however do not phase the silent lynx as finally she is put down by the pair and yet the battle would not be over. For suddenly another next would ambush the two league next, another orca member by the name of Totient. His next flew at the pair and at once unleashed it assault armour before staring to fire upon the pair making them scatter. As he is fighting this lynx comments Julius Emery, defeated like that? And Malzel somehow saw it coming... But it's too late now. Arteria Carpals belongs to ORCA now. Yet the two lynx do not go down even with this attack as finally this blue attack next is put down with Staryed looking over at his battle partner. Did he know about this hidden next? His question would go unanswered however as now a new threat came for the league and their cradles. The Orca brigade, a powerful revolutionary group that stood toe to toe with league, there numbers allowed them to hold over half of the ateria’s powering the cradles and wage war with the league. They had come to purge the world of the corporation sin, the people in the sky needed to come down if humanity wanted to escape this poisoned fate. It seem to cause passive panic in the league as Collard would be put under strict terms that no other missions would be allowed to be given out unless they came from the league itself and quickly GA and Torus seem to re-join the league in an effort to put down this threat to their lives. Strayed would be called upon soon again by the league as his missions would see him protect another cradles from an orca member name old king would had brought three 002bs with him to down these cradles. Staryed would also take down five Orca Arms-forts named Jets in the old peace city only the strange thing here was that the league sent in conventional forces first, a strange if not stupid tactic against any arms-fort. However in truth it was not done for tactics it was done as a punishment as most of these league forces would come from GA and Torus, the two corporations would had causes the league so much trouble before all this. In the end Strayed would be the one to take them down before being issued a new mission "Attack Anti-Satellite Cannons" The league suddenly had discovered three large anti satellite cannons and now needed strayed to take them out. These however were there before the lynx war and this sudden find was a mistake for these cannon would be part of Orca’s plan to purge the corporations sins. Still there is a problem with this mission but that can see talked about in the Orca path as for now the important facts here are that Staryed would take down three of these cannons, another Orca members by the name of Neo Nidos and a rebuilt prototype next. Piloted by hari it seem history here would state that hari here had a few words for strayed. He apologizes to the player for his actions, stating that ORCA does not have the luxury of choosing its methods, and expresses great regret that he will not be able to personally experience outer space upon his defeat. Strayed however does as his order too and downs the craft. His missions against orca however do not stop here as with little time to rest he is sent with Wynde fancion to Orca main base. Another suddenly discovery by the league, the pair set out to Big box. a fortified city that years ago served as GA America's main centre of power. However, it was abandoned when the Cradles were built. Leading to ORCA who saw their opportunity and illegally seized the facility and now have the BIG BOX defence system restored to its peak operating capacity. It here strayed and Wyndde would take down two more Orca nexts Malzel and Vaoh. The pair piloting heavy and hard hitting nexts they however can not stop strayed and Wynnde as the league next kill them. It seem here the league has Orca cornered with this many lynx lose and the league force still strong they could crush this threat. At least that is what everyone through. For then. This secret pact however is not as described for in fact tit seems the league and Orca are very much connected. Malzel was a lynx from Omer science and the second in command of the orca forces he had formed Orca with the help from Omer science all in an effort to enact the closed plan. The plan for all those years ago during the lynx war. Because in truth while everyone had been looking on the ground, the corporations had been slowly filling up earth atmosphere with weapons known as assault cell. These space weapons would rain down fire upon anyone who got to close and the problem was by now in this time there was so many that no one could get into space. That is what the anti-satellite cannons were really for to take out these assault cells. So in the end Orca all along was nothing more then another omer puppet and Omer had convicted the other corporations this plan would be best for them too. Millions would die to allow these corporate overlord a chance to escape their mistake and spread to space. And they may have done it if not for Wyndde fancion for in this path, she would break away from collard making herself an irregular, she then would reach out to staryed asking for him to help her in Defend the Arteria Cranium. This Arteria is different from the rest as whoever controlled this would be able to transfer the power of the other arteria away from the cradles. If Orca could control this, the cradles would fall to earth and th people on them would all die slow and painful deaths. Its here that staryed would join her as he too broke away from collard ignoring a direct order to leave orca alone from the league the two set out. This battle would be short and sweet as the only foes for the pair was the leader of this cause Maximillian thermidor and another lynx shinka. The four lynx engaged each other and the outcome of this battle deferrers from who you ask. Some will say the ex league lynxs would win the battle only to be taken out later by the league after being marked as threat to their rule and others will say all four lynx died that day either during battle or from their wounds. For in the end the league would give eulogies to their savour, something you only give someone who is dead. This is the league path where even though staryed had stayed loyal to the league even protecting the people the league said they would. In the end he would die for his loyalty or killed because he got in the way of the corporations. A loyal hero who’s death did nothing to stop the corporation desire. The Orca Path In this path it seems strayed would feel for link ark as he would agree not only to help protect megales for them but also battle along side white glint when the league came for him. In this battle however like before Ostrva and white glint would sink into the ocean along with fragile the only aspina next to be seen and here he would sink into the ocean too. It after this that strayed would receive a request from Orca leader Maximillian thermidor a request to destroy a GA America's Arteria facility, Ulna. Perhaps driven by this cause strayed would perform this mission allowing him to join the ranks of orca with a personal message from the leader himself. After this strayed would then become part of the closed plan as he is assigned to Attack on Arteria Carpals alone while his fellow orcas members did the same at other Arteria's. For strayed this mission would lead to him down two collard nexts namely noblesse oblige and transcend and allow the first phase of the closed plan to get underway. It then while resting or aiding in the defence of the Atria he just capture that strayed would then be sent off to Defend the Anti-Satellite Cannons the linch pins in the closed plan. He would work along side Neo nidus and together the pair would take down an eclipse arms-fort and another collard next by the name of Lilium Wolcott who was ranked 2nd. Strayed work however was not done as the leader of orca and his second in command order strayed to then attack the newly built arms-fort the answerer which as the briefing explains. This was a suicide mission, fighting a kojima power house it should have been clear that Maximillian was sending Strayed to die. However the new orca next takes the kojima beast down and returns for repairs. However its then the final curtain call on this path begins as after repairs strayed is given his last mission by Maximillian Thermador. The last member of orca and he was to capture the Arteria Cranium and divert all power from keeping the cradles up to the assault cannons to clear humanity a path to space. Strayed had chosen his answer and he would see it out as the battle for the Cranium would put him against now marked irregular lynx roy sanders and wyndee fancion. However it after takes down Roy that suddenly a blue nexts joins the battle and at once Serene recognises it. Betrayed in fact the leader of Orca had been nothing more then omer top ranked lynx ostrava, dropping his act as orca leader he seem to be here to clean up both remaining lynx and switch the power himself before claiming he got there too late to stop the last remaining orca member but still took him down. A fake hero and a fake leader the omer lynx had played his parts well however strayed did not let him play anymore parts. Killing both Ostarva and Wynide he would direct the power from the cradles before fleeing as now he would be hunted down not only as a terrorists but a mass murder of millions of innocent people. The unknowing pawn of orca and in the end another irregular to be hunted down and killed by the corporations. The destruction path In this path some would say strayed has had enough, the lies, the secrets, the rules of the league have driven the next to join orca only instead of following a pawn of orca, he chooses to follow the words of a terrorist. This path would start after orca revels itself to the world with the attack on the arteries. However instead of follow theromidor Staryed is taken in by the ideas of another member of Orca Old king, the ex leader of the terrorist who attacked the empty cradle 21. He gives strayed this task. To put it bluntly this mission is sickly easy for the strayed, it is nothing more then the act of terror and mass murder as here Serene leave him seeing staryed as nothing more then another murdering lynx who only know how to kill. Here strayed murders not only the powerless normals trying to defend the cradles but 1 hundred million people as he shoots outs the engines of the cradles sending them crashing to the ground. Its a sight old king loves however the world turns against the two for quickly after suddenly strayed is sent a mission by interior union, it nothing like a usual one and what is said at the end is a clear sign this is a trap. Staryed however driven by hatred or simply hungry for more death accepts this and head out to Arteria Carpals. When he and old king arrives, the place however is empty. Staryed goes to check it out only to have a message come through from the interior union representative. Of course it was a trap and what finally made this a fact is when five nexts came towards the pair. These fives nexts consisted of Roadie the ranked 4th collard next from GA, Otsdarva the number on collard ranked lynx back from the dead, Lilium Wolcott the rank 2 collard next from the Bernard and Felix foundation, Wynne D. Fanchon the ranked three collard lynx from interior union and finally is own mentor piloting her next from her days as Kasumi Sumika The five are quickly say there piece with Ostrava calling strayed an animal while Serene tells strayed that he has fallen into her trap and she just wants him to stand still so she can cut him down. Her breath however is wasted here as strayed and old king fight the five, old king however does not survive as he sinks leaving strayed to finish their foes. The monster of a lynx is ruthless as he cuts down each lynx till none remain and with that he then turns his attention on the league themselves. From lynx to blood hungry monster in a machine, strayed would go on to kill more cradles, more lynx and anything that stood in his way. This is the end of the destruction path. Once a lynx now a monster who craves the blood of anyone who tries to stop him. This ends the report on the story of Armored core 4 and Armroed core for answer.
+the story of last Raven the year is now Edo261 at the sixth month of the world being bombarded by unknown weapons found by navis the world and its people are in a critical State the three major corporations of the time Cress Mirage and Kisaragi have suffered heavy losses from this barbarment and are left with another option than to work together to try and maintain the order and power they all once had before this attack it would be a rocky start for this new power named The Alliance as building had to be done trying to establish order along with building up a military power to protect and enforce the laws of the alliance given some time the alliance would have its new world order with the military might to back it up yet it's during this time a new power would form by the name of vertex and would strike out at the alliance to overthrow them Bloodshed could not be avoided as it's after one battle between the alliance and vertex that a raven would deliver a declare relation to the alliance forces in 24 hours vertex would launch their final attack this would be the start of what will be known as the story of last Raven but the events at this period vary on who you ask and what you read for after all in some stories more than one Raven survives While others Tales live up to the name of last Raven in total there are six different accounts each one telling a different tale of this 24-hour War let us begin with the first polarizer route the first pool Horizon route this Terror event begins at eight o'clock in the morning where a new Raven supported by the ex Mirage information lead Celia is first greeted with emails from the alliance and the vertex the email delivered at 5 45 am from the alliance reads about how there is 24 hours until vertex declares time of attack and how they should have taken care of vertex a long time ago when they first posed a risk however they hesitated resulting in this to the alliance is very clear the vertex cannot hope to match them in resources however the worries the number of highly trained Ravens within vertex's ranks as such the key to Victory is to take them all out as for vertex email it reads of their most recent victory in capturing the deorgan distribution center and how it will help their cause it goes on to read that all Ravens know what this power is capable of as such anyone who does not cooperate will pay with their lives time is running out and they sincerely hope any reading this email will make the right choice both sides have made their point and that's such this new Raven was set out on their first mission eliminating Intruders from vertex this would see the new Raven taking out Intruders in Cirque City home to the headquarters of vertex the mission would not prove too hard for the Raven with only a few muscle traces being the foes they would finish off this Mission quickly unaware that after they leave another aim by the name of Zenaida would come to the area to see no one around this Mission along with travel and repairs would take around two hours leaving 20 hours until the declared attack time for vertex it is now 10 AM the new Raven would get more mail this time from two Ravens the first being Evangel the alliance Special Forces leader who is writing to the Raymond to announce that the special forces of the alliance are ready to attack vertex and their interests while irasi has no idea what Jaco's intentions are he makes it clear that he will not force any Raven to work for the alliance however if anyone stands against them they will be eliminated the final email is from a raven named Zenaida who writes that she never failed a mission given to her until now she doesn't know who the Raven is but they should watch their back as next time they turn around she will be there the time is 10 AM and so far no Ravens have been killed the next mission for this raven is about to begin remove Bridge Invaders this would come from Evangel asking the Raven to secure a transport route for the alliance in Ruger tunnel where vertex Defense Force is in place an easy mission for the New Haven who jumps across the bridges of the area to kill all the Defenders only return to base to learn this is the main route Into the Heart of Cirque City vertex's Home Base the remaining time to the final attack is now 18 hours and while repairs are done to their armored Core the new Raven will read a new email from vertex own leader Jacko who addresses it to all Ravens he writes how the alliance organization was formed by a group of Corporation Executives bent on controlling the world and forcing others to do their bidding he writes on to say that even though the resources they have pale in comparison to the alliances it is through the strength of vertex's Ravens that will lead them to Victory he finishes the email writing we must strike out at those who would suppress us some strong words there from vertex leader maybe one the new Raven takes to heart or maybe simply ignores as time moves on for them for now the time is 12 p.m and two Ravens are dead greenhorn a warlord and principal an alliance Raven the next mission for the new Raven would see them once again help in line Special Forces as they followed withdrawing muscle Tracer for a material storage facility one linked to vertex's Main Headquarters it's a strange move as such an Evangel wants for him to get inside the facility and follow the withdrawing forces before the leader mission however is not so simple as while following a withdrawing Mt The Raven is attacked by security mt's another Defense Forces they seem to be holding position in the tight area yet it's as the Mt enters into a large room telling the Raven they have walked right into a trap that they see there stands vertex leader Jacko in his armored Core however instead of firing on the new Raven Jaco instead shoots the Mt that guided The Raven here before commenting their true strength can't be gauged from this and leaving it's a strange turn of events however the Raven's mission is done and their operator Shelia will comment how they should ask Ed who she's talking about is Ed Wise a military researcher who gathers and analyze information relating to various conflicts and battles of the world he used to make a living performing such duties for the corporations but now works the Ravens however what the Raven will get from Ed is a short report based on what what information was given it seems Jacka was trying to get a feel for the Ravens capabilities however Ed is still unsure why Jaco did not take the chance to finish off a raven working for the alliance it is now 16 hours until vertex's attack and with the clock ticking down more emails wait for the new Raven one from a raven named Rimfire who writes how he does not know how the Raven figured out it was a trap however the Ravens should enjoy life while they can as he is not the only one who wants them dead it's a strange email however the Roman can only guess this is about a mission they did not take as for the final email it comes from the alliance tactical Force who praised The Raven for their amazing work done on the last mission and how they know the Ravens continued support they know they can be vertex the time is now 2PM and one more Raven has died zuban El jinubi another Warlord as for the new Raven their next mission would see them help the alliance itself this time in a mission protects the cargo where the Raven would as the title suggests protects the top secret cargo of a crashed Alliance helicopter which has spread over a small area of the gavan desert the foes here would be unknown Affiliated helicopters which point to this being the work of one of the Warlords still around once again the Raven returns from Mission with now 14 hours till vertex's final attack repairs and reloading give the Raven time to read new emails one from Jacka which reads about how Evangel the Special Forces commander and some of his fellow Ravens have now joined vertex and while this may be a big loss to the alliance he is sure they have plenty of tricks up their sleeve and they cannot afford to let their guard down the time is now 4pm and another Raven is dead named Shade and unaffiliated Raven another Alliance mission is next for the new Raven and this time it would be killed another Raven by the name of trichurat a raven who followed Evangel to vertex this would take place in the gala desert once more and be the new Raven's first armored Core kill this Mission would take the new Rave in two hours to do and once again emails await the Raven on their return this time there would be three the first from the alliance themselves who write about the death of criturate and how traitors like him will face Justice Just Like Evangel will soon the second from the alliance Special Forces who write they believe evangel's turn code ways is distracting the alliance from the real threat of vertex and how they should be focusing on taking out this SPO and bringing peace to the world and finally the last email is from vertex themselves who writes there has been strange sightings of unknown units appearing in various locations during the last few hours and has been a factor in recent losses of their forces they are unsure of their new alliance weapons as such all they ask is if any new information on the unknown unit is found please report it to them the time is now 6 pm and along with trichurat two or more Ravens have been killed kaspin and Alliance Raven and cerber's Graham are even working for the warlord MooMoo an alliance Special Forces mission is next for the new Raven this time the river will be bringing vertex seal hydroelectric plan to a standstill they ask this is currently both sides are equally matched and crippling this plant would be a large blow to vertex it's a bit of a maze to the Raven however should the Raven be fast enough the alliance will offer the Raven another mission while there this would see the Raven help with a transport plane landing at a hostile airstrip leading the Ravens have to quickly take out the foes there and the control Towers allowing the crack to perform an emergency landing two missions are once certainly wear on the new Raven however with both of them complete they head back to repair their AC As Time ticks away with only 10 hours left until the planned attack as always this brick allows Raven to read their mail this includes an email from the aligned Special Forces which talks about how they have now had sightings of a new unknown weapon and believe it may be vertex is doing as such State requests destruction should any be encountered and another from Jacko who writes that it seems there is roughly 10 Ravens left after all these battles it's going to make the conflict one-sided have everything seems to be going as planned the time is now 8 pm and jack is not wrong for adding to the list of ravens is a viola Volante wonton from Busca two independent Ravens and Omega a Vertex Raven perhaps feeling of a Vertex after taking out their power production facility new Raven will take on a Vertex Mission this time prevent reactor meltdown taking place at the queer energy plant vertex has noticed a normal signal emitting from one of the cores of the energy plant they suspect an ongoing Alliance attack however cannot be sure as such they're sending the Raven in to clear it out and ensure the reactor does not melt down it's quite the mission for the new Raven as after taking out Mt forces outside they enter the plan to be attacked by what is best described as giant insects both which crawl on the ground and fly in the air along with this the reactor's temperature would rise forcing the moment have to destroy the power controllers for the generators facing the Heat and huge bug-like creatures The Raven would survive this Mission feeling the heat drop as they take their leave Ed will report back after that the attack would be confirmed to be being a bio weapon attack done by the alliance however he would not mention the names of these weapons which I will for this report they are called amidas and the flying ones would be called evolved amidas products of Kisaragi scientists still Tai would keep rolling with eight hours left until vertex attacks and the list of dead Ravens would rise with one new one G Faust a Vertex Raven being added to the list but for the living new Raven emails are the only rests from the fight as three more come to them the first being from the alliance Special Forces who write their reported sightings of one of these unknown weapons in the area around Cirque City and believe now it is something produced by vertex and have given it the name polarizes the second is from the alliance itself comparing how their search review Angel is not going well and how it is their goal to be a role model for the people of the world and only by killing these traitors will it restore the stability the people need the third and final email is from vertex who writes they have no link to the weapons the alliance are calling pulverizers as they have witnessed these weapons attack indiscriminately their own forces have been attacked as has alliances and they have no idea why the alliance is insisting vertex is associated with these pulverizers The Time Is Now 10 pm and into the darkness The Rue Raven goes for their next mission tracking down Evangel it's a mission from the alliance which sees the new Raven head to hordes mining site as they believe this is where he is hiding out and make it clear they can take out anyone who gets in their way the new Raven takes his mission without question heads out taking out trucks of hired soldiers and what looks to be construction muscle traces which have had armored Core Parts stuck onto them not the force the Raven expects to be guarding Evangel after all vertex has better MTS than this going through the mine however Evangel is not found even after all the forces are removed how the lines still cause it complete Sheila offers an explanation that the information must have been wrong as such they simply let you go on an eventual Mission leads the Raven back to their base six hours until the final attack and the list of ravens meeting their maker Grows by one more bolt a Vertex Raven is next to be put on the list and soon another would join him as the Raven gets a mission from Jacko asking the Raven to kill sorcerer who he writes has betrayed him however after taking this Mission the new rev notices that sorcerer seems surprised about this attack even saying Jack it's me like he seems to think the Raven has forgotten who he is nevertheless his words do nothing as Jacko orders his death and new Raven obeys with jacko's final word being we only need those who are truly strong forgive me it's an odd way to send off someone who betrayed you and even Ed's report suggests after that there was no evidence that the killed Raven was even a traitor to the vertex cause so this was a very foolish move by vertex to do this it is now only four hours till the vertex attack and with no new updates on Raven's death and no new emails the New River moves out to their next mission now 2 am in the morning another aligned special force Mission would send the Raven to the Tartus headquarters an old Corporation Headquarters to investigate a recent attack which wiped out their forces they have no idea who's behind the attack as such they want the Raven to check it out it's here at this site The Raven would encounter their first pulverizer on what seemed to have wiped out the alliance forces stationed here a battle between the Raven and the pulverizer begins and after a trade of blows for a few minutes the pulverizer explodes into pieces as the Raven red axes now only two hours from the planned vertex attack there is little time for the Raven to rest yet emails keep coming in and the list of ravens has an unexpected change as Evangel is now noted as lost not dead but simply lost the Raven can only think the alliance has finally stopped their search and decided to instead for publicity sick to Mark the raveners Lost In Action to save face as for the emails The Raven would have three waiting for them one from Zenaida who writes how she is disappointed that the Ravens sided with the alliance and how even the alliance most recognized Raven Evangel was not brave enough to face her and how he was a fool to think he was the one sadly this means nothing to the rate as the next email is from Evangel himself which reads about how he was foolish to listen to Jack and how he should have done this long ago as there is nothing to compare with the power of evolving indefinitely before going on to write how he will defeat Zenaida The Raven and Conquer everything the final email is from the alliance who's received reports of an unknown Force appearing in Cirque City however that is all the details they have they also mentioned they've got a strange email from Evangel I believe he may be behind the unfolding events it seems the alliance is ready to take this Victory as they now give their new Raven a mission to take out another Raven and his AC side Hawk it turns out a scout Force has discovered a large facility under Cirque City and they are trying to find a way in however cytalk is preventing this as such he must go arriving at where cytalk is in versus Highland the area has been raised and the weapons that caused all the trouble six months ago are falling from the sky again the burning and the early morning background is the scene where side hawk and The Raven fight as the two machines of war Clash as death Reigns around them however the new Raven would down the hall and with that start to flee the bombarding foes only for them to suddenly stop it's a strange sight however it has this battle ends that the Raven is informed by Celia that the Elias has found their way into the facility the timing of them finding a route and the stopping of the barman has both Celia and Ed wondering if there's a link for the Raven however they return to base to rest as finally there is only one hour left before the final attack while there is no new emails side Hawk would join the list of Fallen Ravens how there are still some Ravens alive these are Jacko jouster mollycoddle MooMoo Rimfire and finally Zenaida the time has come for the Ravens final mission underground investigation the Raven would be tasked by the alliance Special Forces to investigate this underground facility under Cirque city as their forces have suffered heavy losses and don't have the manpower to perform a survey as their final mission the new Raven would take this however arriving at the facility The Raven had wanted to be forced to run around the facility as the suicide weapons from The Battle Before are back falling upon them it's a mad dash to avoid being hit and for a while there looks to be no way out of this that is until a door opens and Jacko comes over the radio calling the Raven over here it's a mad dash for the open door and once inside the Raven seized Jaco his arm of course barking an arm missing annealing as if on its final legs he has some final words for the raven what did he mean by all that the Raven would find out as he Dives deeper into the vicinity what awaits them is a large area and there floating is a polarizer not like the one before this must be what Jacka was talking about and it's at this point the pair meat eyes before the pool variety just charges the reason as if he wanted to battle the pair of Jewel in their small Battlefield clashing and trading blows until the pulverized is blown onto its back it seems to lay there like it's dead only to rise up weekly to speak saying you're one as well a dominant before exploding where it stands this would be the end of the first polarized route as the Raven returns to the surface with an alliance Victory however this is but one of the six roots of this timeline as such I will let another Raven tell the story of another route The Jacka route in this route the new Raven starts with the same two emails from the alliance and vertexes in the last route the alliance email is about the vertex declared attack time and how Ravens are vertex's main strength while the vertex one reads about their capture of the G organ Distribution Center the time is 8 AM and with no Raven deaths recorded the new Raven sets out on their first Alliance Mission Scout the Distribution Center this Mission would send the new Raven to the recently vertex captured deorgan Distribution Center to scout it out and take out any foe they encounter as this will help with recapturing the base later arriving at the base some time later the new Raven finds that the basis defenses are sparse and moving in to take out a few muscle traces that DARE stand in their way before coming to an open area of the base it is here a Vertex Raven named bolt in his armored Core is waiting it's a bit of a shock to the Raven however after trading blows with one another bolt is killed however the disaster they have left that the leader of vertex shows up I expected this would be the outcome hurry foreign it seems the new Raven's actions already have vertex's attention the time is 10 AM and the new Raven has one new email from an alliance Raven named Evangel which reads how the alliance article Force he is leading is now ready to tackle vertex in his interests the new Raven reads it before they move on to their next mission from Jaco it's a simple mission to pick up some supplies that a warlord has promised to give vertex at horders minings for the site it seems a bit of a waste using an armored call for a pickup job yet the new Raven accepts the job only to hear from Jaco on arrival but the supplies have been stolen and the ones behind it are still around as such the Raven heads deep into the site shooting down muscle traces that have tried to stop them before finally coming face to face with another much larger muscle Tracer and greenhorn a warlord piloting in armored Corps the pair attacked the new Raven fights backping both of them in the ground before returning to base vertex would get their supplies according to Ed he believes Jacko knew more than he let on seeing as the world was waiting for the new Raven time is now 12 pm and with one new email from Jaco about how the alliance is just a group of corporate Executives who want to control the world the new Raven focus is more on the list of dead Ravens which now has three names on it these being bolt greenhorn and principle time however does not wait for the dead as such the new Raven takes their next mission pursue a drawing muscle Tracer this will take the Raven to the vertex Walton material storage site where they are to follow the withdrawing vertex Force following one of these vertex muscle traces however leads to the Raven being ambushed by other vertex forces before witnessing Jaco kill the muscle Tracer who the new Raven had been following this Mission ends with Jacko leaving with some parting words jacko's reason for not killing the new Raven when he had the chance has Ed wandering yet time moves on with only 16 hours before the final vertex attack and illicit dead Ravens now has four names on it with Zubin Elgin Ubi losing his life the next mission The Raven would take is to retake the organ Distribution Center a task from the alliance tactical Force to recapture the center from a group working for one of the Warlords it is not a difficult Mission seeing as the force is mainly made up of muscle Treasures with only an hour passing since the last mission The Raven is quick to move out again this time aiding the alliance in recovering cargo from a crash transport carrier the admit it may already be too late since it happened over an hour ago however they still wish to send in the new Raven yet when the Raven arrives at the crash they see no cargo and suddenly come under attack from small muscle traces named moles which move under the sand of the desert where the transport crashed the alliance is made aware of this by the Reagan's operator I request these machines be taken out as part of the job while the Raven would do this the alliance would be quick to blame their slow response time for the cargo being lost as noted by Ed's report after time ticks on now with only 14 hours left the Raven would hear about Evangel switching sides from the alliance to vertex both by an email from Jaco and from the alliance who brand him and those who followed him traitors along with this news another Raven named Shade is reported dead as the new Raven heads out to the help of Warlord the mission is to protect the warlord's air force that is heading through ursul Dam as this is the best route to attack cess City again the new Raven would do most of the fighting as the warless Air Force will make their way to pass the Dam's defenses another mission done news of another Raven named titrate death would come in the new Raven has little time to rest however as their next mission would see them helping the same world from the before as their attack on cercity had been successful but now they wanted the Raven to guard the transports of captured materials through the old near Industrial Area the reason for the extra foul power is is that the location is a vertex stronghold The Raven takes this job and finds it another easy one with only muscle traces at this location they are no match for an armored Core another easy Payday for the Raven as with only 12 hours left before the vertex attacks new emails come one from the alliance about the death of treachery a raven who left with Angel to join vertex another from the alliance tactical force on how the alliance is too focused on hunting down traitors and finally one from vertex warning about new weapons which we now know as pulverizers along with all these emails another Raven by the name of Cerberus Grimm would be added to the list of the Dead rings yet for the new Raven all this would simply be another part of their life as they move out to Aid the alliance tactical force with securing terminal area of the vertex own walls and material storage site the Ravens task would be to act as a distraction to the security forces while the Tactical force would send in a strike force to capture it a straightforward mission that would lead the Raven to battle Omega a well-known vertex Raven with quite the battle record it's a tough fight with a tight space both Ravens have to fight in yeah the new Raven would kill Omega allowing the strike force to move in and add another Raven to the list of the Dead the new Raven proved to be quick on this Mission as only an hour had passed since they last came back to base as such with no new information to read over they would end up helping the alliance tactical Force again this time rescuing an alliance Force who went in to investigate the recently captured material storage site only to come under Fire from a force which they are guessing is vertex the new Raven finds out this not to be the case and the foes are not vertex but instead the bioweapons used years ago named amida however while the new Raven may not have known this Ed would take an educated guess as where these foes came from as a group of scientists still are using the kiyosagi name and have been working to improve the bioweapon in secret 10 hours is all that is left until the attack and it's here the alliance tactical forces right to the new Raven to suggest these new weapons are vertex Creations well another email from Jacko points out that there are only 10 Ravens left this is true with the death of two more Ravens named vola Volante and wonton Busker the list of Raven may be going down but the jobs for the new Raven keep going up as their next mission from Alliance tactical force will see the new Raven take out the Defense Force while the vertex owned qrng plant as the alliance want to send in a squad of unmanned units The Raven didn't ask questions and was done within no time at all there is now eight hours until vertex's final attack and the new Raven will get three new emails two from the alliance tactical Force one asking for the Ravens continued support from the other naming the unknown weapons as pulverizers as for the final email it would come from vertex claiming that they have nothing to do with these pole writers that they too have been attacked by them with this new information The Raven heads out to help the alliance tactical Force by defending a bridge that their supply train is traveling as a warlord's force is planning to destroy the Ruger tunnel bridge which the train is traveling on and it's the Raven's shop to protect the bridge from the attackers with a few dead muscle traitor Pilots later the Raven returns to the base this leaves only six hours remaining until the final vertex attack and with no updates nor email to the new reaven heads out to Aid the alliance had to force once again this Mission will see the new Raven pull out a spy the tactical forces within the old near industrial area and again with only resistance being muscle tracers the new Raven and their armored Core proved more than enough to get the Spy out unharmed four hours until the final vertex attack and with this new information from their spy the alliance has decided to launch a full-scale attack on the vertex headquarters in certain city along with all this Alliance News more Ravens named g-faust and sorcerer two vertex Ravens are reported as dead however the new Raven's next mission would show The Alliance is not all it seems as they issue a mission for the Raven to Aid them in getting rid of one of their own facilities the Trident by Activity Center where deadly research has been taking place due to the electronical failures they can't self-destruct the facility themselves as such they need the Raven to go there activate the backup generators and leave once it's done yet things are never that simple on these sorts of missions as the Raven see a meter that can fly as well as other bio weapons that the Raven guesses are the deadly research that has been going on here but they are not the only foe The Raven faces as after the backup generators are activated a warlord by the name of Mumu attacks the Raven there are different accounts The Raven either kills Mumu here or simply fled from the fight either way the Reagan would return home to learn that the facility would be leveled and no bioweapons data would remain now with only two hours left until vertex's final attack the Raven resupplies and repairs their armored Core as they get an email from the alliance tactical force it reads they have not heard from their spy they sent him to vertex since he was founder however they believe he can hold his own as such they will search for Jaco after the attack on Sir City it's here that the Tactical force will have the Raven help them Begin by giving them this mission near elements of the alliance Tactical Unit are in active pursuit of Jacko we'd like you to assist us in these efforts by taking part in the mission as a diversionary target for the enemy forces your objective will be to shut down the old nyer industrial area's defense systems by destroying the energy Supply pods located on the sides of the Central Building as far as Jack's whereabouts are concerned we have some good leads it'll be found soon you're free to leave the area once the enemy's attention is sufficiently focused on your AC it's a mission that proves tough for the Raven however it allows the alliance tactical forces to do their job as on their return the new Raven would learn the tactical forces of a managed to track down Jaco along with a route that leads right into the heart of Surf City with only an hour left before the attack the Raven would get free emails one from the alliance task force who informs the raven that vandrum has returned from his secret mission to spiral vertex shown his betrayal as Alliance information gathering and the other two emails are from Evangel who first apologizes to all within the alliance as his goal with his fake switch of sides was only to learn about vertex's plan and stop them he then shares with the new Raven that he has learned the vertex forces are depleted and that the pole Rises were nothing to do with vertex in fact even with vertex on the edge of defeat Jacko never wavered as if his real intentions was something like this all along with this in mind the new Raven heads off into their final mission defeat Jacko it is the Raven's mission to put an end to vertex and Jacko yet it's as they come face to face with the leader of vertex deep within sir City they see his armored Core is already in bad shape and that Jaco has some things to say to the new rave I wanna be he talks about how it is done and how she has done it at this time the new Raven would have no idea what this means however what this boils down to is that another Raven names in either would already have destroyed the plan making pulverizers and now all Jacko wants is a final battle that the world will remember him for the final wish of Othello rape the new Raven would give Jacobus as finally the leader of vertex is brought to his needs with some final words foreign route ends and yet there are still four more possible endings to these events as such let us hear from another Raven about the Evangel route this Roots would begin with the new Raven taking on the mission to destroy the military base from vertex who wants the Raven to do as much damage as possible to an alliance space that's still in construction named Camp Fort Hood as soon as the base is under attack they request reinforcements this means the Raven only has three minutes to damage the base before they need to leave it is not a difficult task for the new Raven the men and the helicopters defending the base are barely a threat to the Raven as they tear down tents shoots trucks and take out buildings on this Mission before fleeing just as the Raven leaves something far away is approaching the damaged base it's the leader of the alliance tactical Force Evangel accompanied by two other Alliance armored cores named trichuritz and Caspian along with six owl muscle Tracer units that show up to the distress call of the base as Evangel observes the damage space he praises the attack as being well executed before being asked by trechwitz if they should give Chase only to have the leader on to her patience it is too early to consider them our enemy this attack the travel and the repairs would take two hours as the time is now 10 AM they would get an email from Evangel about how the alliance tactical force is ready to launch an attack on vertex and its assets there would be no Ravens deaths at this time and so the new Raven would head off to their next mission escort Allied Mt this Mission would come from a warlord who wants the Raven to help one of their muscle tracers escape from a raid they did in the hordes mining site as enemies have managed to take out most of the team except as one unit an escort mission is perhaps not what the Raven expected however they head out to help the solo Mt who comes Under Fire from small spider like MTS called uo3m termites before returning to base with Ed's report telling the Raven how their responses to warlord's requests may affect how Alliance and vertex sees them another two hours of repairs and reloading allows the Raven to catch up on events Jaco now emails all Ravens to tell them how Alliance is nothing more than a group of corporate Executives who wants control over the world and wants others to do their bidding speaking of ravens it is now two Ravens who have met their maker the first being a warlord by the name of greenhorn and an alliance Raven by the name of principle time however must go on as the new Raven makes their next move a mission to Aid vertex in reclaiming the Walter material storage site after an alliance Tactical Unit attacked it as their main military supply Source Vortex cannot let stay in Alliance hands as such all foes must be wiped out it is noted that vertex will pay the Raven more money if the unit Commander is taken out as such with money in sight The Raven heads out to the site it is quite the battle as it seems the alliance Tactical Unit have dug in with MTS already on site and their numbers are quite high as they make their way through it varies from reports to reports about whether the Raven managed to get the command either way the mission would be complete and the Raven would head home the time is now 2 pm and while resting and repairing The Raven would get two emails the first from a raven named Rimfire who writes with surprise about how he didn't expect the Raven to know that the mission he gave was a trap and that they should watch their back the second email is from vertex they ask the Raven to keep supporting them throughout this war the new Raven starts their next mission investigate enemy activity at the tortuous headquarters an old Corporation Headquarters which suddenly receives interest from Alliance as such vertex cannot let Alliance simply investigate the site without disruption so the Raven is sent in during this Mission Jaco comes over the radio and tells the raven that these targets are not worth the bother and to head back which The Raven does Ed's report afterwards suggests there is something going on here but one is why Jack pulled the Raven out especially since time is ticking away the time is now 4 pm and with new emails from both Alliance and Jacko alerting them that Evangel has drawn into vertex it seems a shift in the war is coming the new Raven would play a role within this shift with their next mission the elimination of an alliance AC by the name Raging torrent his death would not be quick as this Alliance Raven brings reinforcements with him in the form of MTS however by luck or skill the new Raven kills this Alliance Raven in the universe's Highland before returning to base two hours pass with repairs being done to their armored Core it's during this time the Raven would read over some male once more this time one from Evangel who writes about how he's heard great things about the Raven and how Jacko even suggests the Raven is a dominant however Evangel finds this hard to believe and writes that when he kills the Raven he will show Jacko he is the true dominant a threat from a fellow Raven is nothing new anymore for this Raven as such they move on to the next email from vertex which tells of unknown weapons being seen on the field of battle this again would be the first sighting of the pulverizers the final email would again be from vertex which suggests Evangel is acting strange and while he's under Jaco's command they can do nothing about him but they want the Raven to keep an eye on him it seems the time to watch over Ravens has come as the list of dead Ravens has some new additions to it including cerber's quarm shade and Caspian the pilot of raging torrent the number of ravens falling has become apparent and yet the war rages on as the Raven heads out to their next mission defend against assault this would see the new Raven fight off waves of Alliance MTS as they move through the sewer system of the vertex owned Walter material storage plant it is a dark and smelly mission for the new Raven who thanks to night vision manages to fend off the attacks within the sewers only to have vertex send them straight off to another mission with no time to resupply or repair they are sent to the Airfield where the raven would have to clear the field of Alliance MTS before finally taking down the real Target and Alliance Air transport two missions back to back is not easy as such the new Raven heads back to rest with 10 hours left before the vertex attack they would get new emails and the list of dead Ravens expands this time it includes the Raven Molly coddle who would be put in the ground along with a volar volunte and Bhaskar and omega as for the emails there's one from the alliance Tactical Unit reporting on the unknown weapons and how they believe vertex is producing it and another email from Jacko who writes that there are only 10 Ravens left and now for both sides the real battle begins perhaps for the Raven the battle already felt real however if a raven has time to ponder then there is work they are missing out on as such the time for the next mission had come protect Reactor Core it's sure that the new Raven will be shooting down unmanned units which plan to crawl into the reactor core of vertex owned queer energy plant it's a case of switching from taking them out in the air to shooting these units as they crawl up the tower towards the reactor it's a mission where the new Raven must be accurate and fast however they pull it off and return once more eight hours left until the attack the Raven's death list is updated again with another Raven named g-fost and more emails come to the new Raven the first email comes from the alliance Tactical Unit who finally gives the name pulverizers to the unknown weapon seen on the battlefields there is an email from Jacko alerting the raven that there is a traitor among vertex and he would like them to be taken down the final two emails B from vertex one claiming they have nothing to do with the pool varieties production and the second one thanking the Raven for their loyalty to their cause with this the Raven heads out to take out this trade route to vertex a raven by the name of Bolt in the Grove desert however what is more odd is what bolt says you betrayed us and that can't be forgiven it is odd since as the new Raven understood it bolt was the traitor to vertex so what was this Raven on about nevertheless confused by this the two Ravens in battle and the new Raven is the one to come out alive six hours remain until the attack and as the new Raven rests up an email arrives from Zenaida who writes she taught the new Raven and Evangel were better Ravens and to join the vertex aside all she wants is to stay true to herself and be the best Raven she can the words of this raven inside the list of Ravens grows with boats joining in and soon another as a new Raven is sent out by Jaco to kill sorcerer his second in command it is a strange Mission as it seems Jackal is unmoved by a second in the command's words as the new Raven and sorcerer fight yet in an armored Core Battle words mean nothing as the new Raven finally puts down sorcerer before returning rest is short for the Raven as with no new emails and the only new item being searched for being added to the dead Ravens list they move on to their next mission launch pre-emptive strike it is in this Mission The Raven will be sent to torturous headquarters where Alliance forces seem to be gathering to attack them and while the Raven would do a good job of this the alliance had their own surprise as before the Raven's eyes a battle ready Leviathan is launched from the base an old war machine not seen since navis used one 55 years ago it's not an easy fight for the new Raven however the old beast of the parts would fall making the alliance pay a heavy price with only two hours left before the attack it looks to be a Vertex victory in the emails Evangel is now reported as lost on the list of ravens however there are still Ravens who have avoided the grim reapers grasp yet while these Ravens did the alliance forces would not be so lucky as vertex reports that this special weapon has emerged from underneath Cirque City again and this time it wiped out all the alliance forces however they would not call it a victory the new email is from Evangel he asks if the Raven knows what a dominant is he explains it as Born to Be Warriors that excel in the art of combat but then he goes on about the last mission and how he will show Jacko he is the one to do it and not the new Raven I will not accept the possibility that you are a dominant stay out of my way this is how he ends the email it is not something The Raven understands however the final email from Chaco is even more troubling as he writes that vertex discovered a weapons manufacturing facility deep beneath Ciroc City this is what is creating the pulverizers and the world is once again facing extinction if nothing is done about it with this vertex has one final mission for the Raven and it goes like this unknown target has ended the facility located beneath search City we have unconfirmed reports that this target is in fact Evangel if this is the case and it names his true loyalties are actually to Alliance after their last defeat in our hands Alliance Headquarters has been steadily pulling back their forces a single AC unit isn't going to change the tide of battle I have no idea why the Evangel might be up to in any case we know he is not to be trusted it's time for him to be removed from the picture our vision of a new world order is close at hand a final battle with Evangel is what the Raven gets and as the two meet the alliance Raven has this to say before they chill what if this is no place for an ordinary Raven you don't get it do you I guess there's only one way to help you understand then the Battle of dominance ensues and in the end the new Raven proves to be the real one the battle is not over yet for while the two fought a pulverizer shows up and the entrance to the weapons in manufacturing facility opens up behind the Evangel however he does not run into it with his armored Core sparking he tells the Raven to head in as he will take care of the pulverizer and as the next few words of Evangel could be heard as is lost inside the Raven would fall deeper into Cirque city until they come to the power sources of the pulverizer-producing facility they see no other way to stop it and set about destroying the generators that are protected by energy defenses the new Raven manages to shut down the facility leading to what their operator hoped is a peaceful world this is the end of the Evangel route however there is still more ways the events of this timeline could have gone as such the next possible route will be told by another Raven the Leviathan route in this route we see the new Ravens start with the mission eliminate Intruders from vertex which will see the Raven take down an unknown force that has entered the Cirque City the homo vertex headquarters a quick and rather uneventful Mission it is on their return with nearly a day before the attack the new Raven will get some emails one from Evangel writing on how the alliance tactical force is ready to strike vertex and all their assets and one from Zenaida who writes she has never failed a mission until now and how the new Ravens should watch their back as she'll be there yet the new Raven moves on to their mission to destroy the AC Sundial an alliance Raven vertex once dead again while an armored Core battle is never easy the new Raven pulls it off turning Sundial into scrap before returning to base 18 hours till the final attack and two weapons fall out of the sky green horn a warlord and principle the pilot of Sundial it's the new Ravens first armored Core kill yet there is little time to celebrate or ponder over it as they are sent out again by a Vertex to the Walter material storage site a lot of placement vertex as it holds their military supplies and has a link right into Cirque city which is currently being attacked by the alliance technical forces vertex offers the new Raven more credits for the death of the commander of this Force than any ribbon is more than happy to hunt down this Commander as they blast through the forces inside another quick and dirty job for the new Raven leads to two hours passing for repairs and supplies along with reading new emails and seeing another Raven is now dead named Zubin Elgin Ubi as for the emails one is from a raven named Rimfire writing about how he is not sure how the Raven figured out one of the missions was a trap but they should watch out as he is not the only one that wants them dead and the final one is from vertex who wishes the new Raven to support them more in the future the new Raven would have little time to think on this as their next mission would be from the alliance wanting them to remove Intruders in the Triton Eco Activity Center the alliance can't seem to say why anyone would break into the lab conducting Environmental Studies however they want The Intruders killed while on the mission the new Raven would learn these Invaders are part of a group working for a warlord and seem to be getting ready to leave when the Ravens Hoops in to take their lives another easy mission for the new Raven they would learn that the alliance is winning an illegal bio experimentation program however it is of no concern to the Raven as they head back to rest and resupply once again more time passes as the Raven reads new emails and sees that another Raven by the name of shade has been killed as for the emails they are from vertex with two from The Alliance One talking about how Evangel and one of his underlings have turned against the alliance and are now working for vertex and one asking the new Raven about their skills and if they have heard about the idea of dominant Pilots existing it's not something the new Raven has ever heard about however the time to wander is over as the Ravens next mission comes in from vertex asking the new Raven to take out an Airborne Squad invading aerosol Dam vertex believes this attack is simply the squad passing through on their way to Cirque City their real Target however they want them all dead before that as such the new Raven is sent on another easy mission where their AC is pitted against a squadron of helicopters time ticks on as the new Raven gets more time to read new emails want to smoke Angel himself who writes about dominance and how he keeps hearing people saying the new Raven is one and how he will prove them wrong when he kills the new Raven the final two were emails from vertex about unknown weapons on the battlefield and how they do not trust Evangel as he has been acting strange recently the list of dead Ravens also grows with caspin and Alliance Raven Cerberus garm an independent Raven working for a warlord and Shredder rate the turn Kurt Raven who followed Evangel to vertex worth 12 hours till the final attack the new Raven gets a new Mission from vertex this time a warlord has managed to get inside their seal hydroelectric plant and place bombs within vertex wants the new Raven to equip you to get in there and remove the bombs making sure to keep the plant in one piece it's a Race Against Time however with a cool head The Raven manages to remove all the bombs before returning to base and all within an hour now with little time used the new Raven is quickly thrown into another mission this time from the alliance who wants the Raven to take out an enemy Force within their recently captured diorgan Distribution Center The Raven would head in taking out mostly MTS until they managed to reach outside the base only to be ambushed by another Raven named Molly cuddle who has this to say it seems you've been doing well too bad you were tricked it looks like the alliance is coming to kill the new Raven as they have not been loyal having swept between them and vertex yet all this really achieves is the death of mollycodile the new Raven heads back home to rest once more as more emails come in this time from the alliance technical unit who write about the unknown weapons being cited in battle and one from Jack who writes that there are only about 10 Ravens left and the time for the real battle has come Jack would not lie here as along with Molly cuddle three more Ravens would be knocked out of the sky and including vola Volant watan Busker and finally Omega with the number of ravens falling the new Raven will be sent by vertex to protect their nuclear reactor and the queer energy plant from unmanned units being flown in by the alliance it's a mission that tests the Ravens long-range shooting but is done with ease by the new Raven before heading back to base once more with eight hours left the new Raven gets more mail this time one from the alliance Tactical Unit who would now name these unknown weapons polarizers and two from vertex one which thanks to the Raven for the continued support and how the pulverizes are nothing to do with them even if the alliance Tactical Unit says otherwise and the second from Jago who wants the new Raven to take out a trainer to the vertex cause the only new Raven death would be G Faust at this time and with all that done the Raven heads out to their next mission it would be an intercept mission of another Airborne warlord Force at Camp forth they're headed to suck City to attack however it is the Raven's job to stop them and they do so before returning to base on their return with only six hours left the only email the new Raven gets is from Zenaida who mocks The Raven for siding with vertex and how all she wants to do is be the best Raven she can be as for the number of dead Ravens bolt a Vertex Raven would join this list yet so would Evangel but not as dead instead being listed as Lost In Action yep well Evangel may be lost the new Raven would soon put another Raven down by the name of sorcerer the trader Jago writes about and the second in command of vertex he tries to talk to Jack as any room and attacks him however the up-and-coming Raven is focused on the fighting and brings about sorcerer his death four hours left and the Raven gets no rest as the next mission is thrown at them sent out by Jacob again to kill a raven at Camp fourth or the foe's identity is unknown at this time however when the Raven arrives they see this foot was none other than Evangel who wants to show Jacko what real power is with both being skilled Pilots the pair of ravens fight with all they have yet on the new Raven returns from the fight now with only two hours remaining vertex is quick to email the new Raven telling them how the forces of the alliance are very nearly depleted and I need just one more push to achieve their goal with Evangel now marked as dead rather than lost the new Raven heads out to finish all this off by aiding vertex with their last few missions the first would be to guard the old nyer industrial area from the remains of the alliance tactical Force who are trying to take control of it and what a battle it would be the new Raven fights MTS and a raven by the name of jouster who manages to check out the main defense weapons of the area however losing his AC's head in the process before the new Raven takes his life this only takes an hour and the alliance tactical forces no more it is then time for the final battle against the Alliance Headquarters last standing forces in the versus Highland and all Airborne Force they would throw everything they had at the new Raven from fighter planes to helicopters until finally left with nothing else the alliance lets loose two leviathans that Circle the raven like birds of prey the new Raven however is no prey for anyone and downs them both after a long battle leaving vertex the Victor in this war with the hope that they will bring peace to the world again this is only one ending to this timeline so now let us let another Raven tell the events of the second Paul Verizon route the second pulverizer route in this route the new Raven's first mission comes from vertex who wants the new Raven to destroy the camp Fort herd military base currently being built by the alliance it is a simple mission for the Raven as their foes are humans helicopters and stationary objects The Raven causes as much damage as they can within the three minute time limit before leaving the area after this escape the Rune base receives the backup cool during the mission a team of three armored cores and four owl muscle traces the three armored cores would be the leader of the alliance tactical forces Evangel his second in command trichurat and caspin a high-ranking Alliance Raven and they share some words about the attack sir should we give Chase a successful mission for the new Raven they returned to have an email from Evangel which reads that the alliance tactical force is ready to strike against vertex and their assets it is however the start of this war between politics and the alliance as the new Raven's next mission is to Aid a warlord Mt who is currently trying to escape the horders mining site after a raid where the single Mt is the only Survivor and more enemy forces are on Route it's not a difficult Mission as the Raven sticks close to the Mt as they make their way taking down the enemies as they go they aren't nothing to write home about as most are u03m termite MTS that are no match for an armored Core all this takes around two hours including the time to resupply and repair damages to their armored Core the new Raven also has a new email to read and is told about the deaths of two Ravens named greenhorn a warlord and principal an alliance Raven the email turns out to be from Jaco the leader of vertex and it reads about how the alliance is nothing more than a group of Executives who want to rule the world and have others do their bidding it's a call to all Ravens to take vertex aside have new Raven another mission catches their eye eliminate enemy AC it comes from a warlord who wants the new Raven to head out to the R11 AC garage area and take out an armored call there the mission breathing goes into details about the armor core and how the Ravens should equip their own armored Core it's a little odd and the Raven only has to do some research about the place to find out this is not as the warlord describes however with that many credits on offer the new Raven does not take the advice of this warlord and heads out with their wits about them their caution would be worth it as when the Raven arrives at the garage area there is no armor core in sight that is until one comes out a garage with some words for the new Raven now you will pay for your mistake a trap and to make matters worse this raven came with backup another Raven by the name of Rimfire then joins The Fray it's a hard-toed battle and a close one for the new Raven how they managed to put both Ravens into the dirt a tricky operation may have been but the Bounty for the two Ravens is more than enough to allow for repairs and supplies while this happens near a Raven gets an email from another Raven by the name of Zenaida which reads it seems you're being quite busy lately perhaps you really are worthy of being a raven many claim they are but so few live up to the title this war between Alliance and vertex is pointless I don't care about ruling the world all I want is to be true to myself and fight for my beliefs you and I should do battle sometime it's a strange email for the new Raven after all they have never met nor seen this Raven and yet it seems their action have impressed this Zenaida however what the Raven does know too well is that the names Rimfire and Zubin l janubi now join the list of dead Ravens and their next mission would be the battle Zenaida wanted a mission from the female Raven herself to Jewel with her at Camp Fort Hood it looks to be another tough battle for the new Raven and they suit up and head out to meet this Zenaida however the jewel does not go as planned attacked by an unknown force is neither and the new Raven work together to fight off the first wave of foes before she leaves with some of the second of the foes in tow as for the new Raven they would have to face another Raven by the name of shade it's a tough battle but nowhere near as tough as their last AC battle as such the new Raven put shade down before leaving although the two hours of rest and repairs leaves the new Raven more than enough time to learn from the emails from both the alliance and vertex now the Evangel the alliance tactical Force leader has switched sides and is now working for vertex the alliance wants him dead and vertex is sure this switch is only going to bring more trouble their way the new Raven also gets an email from Zenaida who writes about how it was a shame they could not battle last time however her research assistant has found some information on the raven that eluded her on the mission in Cirque City and how she looks forward to taking care of the new Raven and this unknown Raven a strange woman yet with another Raven on the death list the new Raven heads out to the next mission from a warlord who wants the Raven to take out the control towers located at air Soul Dam this would allow the warlord's force to later use this as a route to Cirque city as vertex is busy fighting to stop the alliance again it is not a hard Mission at first as the Raven dips about taking out vertex Defenders before the towers only then for an armored Court to show up piloted by wonton Busker this raven is AC attack the new Raven leading to a battle which ends with wonton's death but the new Raven is not in the clear yet as suddenly another Raven shows up by the name of Viola Volant who also attacks the new Raven leading to back-to-back battles it is reported the raven could battle these two or flee however mix reports do not paint a clear picture nevertheless the Raven would return home either with two more Ravens added to the death list or happy to Simply Be Alive yet the time to rest would have to wait as the vertex leader Jacko had a mission for the new Raven destroy transport Convoy a mission that would see the Raven head to the old na Industrial Area to take out a convoy of Transport trucks being used by a warlord after they raided City for materials The Raven would head out at once only to find one of the escorts of the Convoy and armored Corps piloted by a female warlord named MooMoo is already there a battle begins between the two as the Raven is quick to take her down before another Raven shows up by the name Cerberus Graham who's seeing MooMoo killed goes for the new Raven however this new Raven quickly takes out the Convoy before putting this dog of Hell To The Flame the bounties for the two Ravens and the mission pay is sweet music to the new Raven who uses it to upgrade and repair their armored Core while catching up on some emails this time two from vertex we won talking about how an unknown weapon has been seen taking out of vertex forces and another about how they concern the strange behavior of Evangel recently it's perhaps the new Raven vertex should have been looking at as this Raven's next mission would come from another warlord this time they wanted the Raven's haircut vertex defenses at the seal hydraulic plant as the warlord wants to Ransom it back to vertex elimination of all Targets is what this boils down to and the Raven wipes out the vertex Defense Force before leaving the plan to the warlord however on the return to the base it would be learned that vertex would not settle on a price for the ransom and instead decide to go on without this energy plant it's along with this news of another Raven's death comes in one by the name of Omega a Vertex armor core pilot Ravens were falling out the sky and yet the new Raven did not seem to worry as they take on another mission for a warlord this time at the Tartus headquarters an alliance base where supplies are being stockpiled the Raven would Aid the warlord by taking out the ECM devices at the site and any forces that tried to stop them more running and gutting the new Raven's armored Corps made short work of any Foe and the ECM devices however in the end the warlord would be pushed back as the alliance made sure to reinforce it quickly after the Ravens attack this however is no concern for the new Raven and now with only 10 hours until vertek's final attack it's becoming clear how many lives are being taken by this war as an email from Jaco reads that there is only now 10 Ravens left the alliance tactical forces also writes an email to new Raven about an unknown weapon attacking their forces they think it may be a Vertex weapon but are unsure it seems the war is claiming its victims and so far the new Raven has not picked aside as they now head out to Aid the alliance tactical force in taking out vertex queer energy plant by destroying the plant's power supply controls the mission would not be simple however as while the Raven would be able to take out the vertex mt's guide in the plant it would fall into darkness without power as the Raven with their AC's night vision would make their way out only to be ambushed by a raven named G Faust as they do the Ravens duke it out in this tight space of a plant before finally the new Raven kills g-fuss and manages to make it outside only out there waiting for the new Raven is a large Red Machine of war with huge energy blade for arms the battle worn Raven has to be quick as they fight back against this new foe with all they can until finally the Red Machine a war explodes this according to Ed would be one of the unknown weapons everyone is talking about the next few hours of the Raven's West would include reading through emails from the alliance tactical Force writing how they've decided to name these unknown weapons pulverizers and how they would like the Raven to attack Warlords who oppose the alliance as this will allow the Tactical force to be able to keep all their units on the task of taking out vertex along with these emails vertex would also request the Raven to keep their wits about them as even though vertex feels the attacks they have launched on the alliance is working too many vertex Ravens are being killed off as such the balance of power will shift if any more are lost they also right to make it clear they are not the ones producing these pulverizers as they too have lost units to them it seems both sides need the new Raven's help and yet this raven chooses instead to protect a warlord Force based at horde's mining site the warlord learns that the alliance is going to attack the site as they believe Evangel is being harbored there by the grouper the truth is however this group has nothing to do with Evangel and the Atlantis is assuming this to launch an attack but the warlord lacks a pad stop it and that's why they've asked for the new Raven's Services a force of muscle traces of all shapes and sizes would be the alliance attacking force and it's clear to see the alliance wanted this group gone with the force the Raven manages to fight off back at base after with only six hours left before vertex final attack the new Raven gets an email from Jacka reading it's impossible at this current time to destroy the pulverizer weapon but there will be no deviating from my plan there are only few Ravens alive but I am confident that one among them possesses the strength I seek the conflict will end in our favor it seems Jacko is hunting for a certain Raven for whatever he has planned yet the Rue Raven did not care as once again they take their next mission from another warlord to an attack on an alliance transport train heading towards Ruger tunnel the warlord seemed to take vertex side and once this Supply transport train taken out as it will damage the alliance front lines and also not go unnoticed by either side it's quite the easy mission for the new Raven as they arrive early to take out the light Defense Force on the bridge where the train is traveling on before then firing on the defenseless train destroying it within seconds it's not even a challenge as new Raven would head back with two more hours ticking by before they head out again this time to Aid vertex in defeating an alliance Invasion Force heading to Cirque City via the Grava desert the force seems intent on reaching Cirque City however the briefing mentions that the alliance strength is waning and how they won't last but for a few more hours as such the Raven heads out ready to take on this weekend Alliance force and after a few MTS and helicopters it would seem the Raven was done that is until a pulverizer showed up however this one is different from the last one as it now has quad legs instead of tank ones Jaco is quick to come over the radio to tell the new even if they attack the pulverizer they will lose but the Ravens operator Shelia things otherwise as the pool risers start to attack the new Raven making her tell the Raven to attack it as the situation demands it the new Raven had no choice as they battle it out with his quad-legged polarizer before finally pushing it down Jaco seems impressed by this commenting that maybe they can be destroyed as of the new Raven they are just happy to be alive two hours remain until the final attack and while the Raven rests more emails come in as do names of more dead Ravens these would include Evangel caspin Molly coddle sorcerer and bolt leaving only four Ravens alive Jacko jouster Crow and Zenaida speaking of Jaco he would email the Raven again and this time it reads the war between vertex and Alliance is in its final stages I assume neither side will secure a total Victory but I'm not concerned about the outcome my plan is in its final stages as well all the fighting that has gone on before has been leading up to this just what is Jacko up to the thought may have passed the mind of the new Raven however with time ticking and a need for cash The Raven takes a mission with vertex to destroy the armored Corps called Heaven's Rey that is attacking the old na Industrial Area other Tech strongholds The Raven sets out to meet their Foe and the pair of ravens Square Off the battle between the two however short as new Raven now skilled with their craft takes out their foes swiftly however this battle is not yet over as suddenly another pulverizer shows up a bipedal one and it attacks the new Raven as the pair meet a back-to-back battle is tough on the Raven ah Victory is theirs as the pulverizer goes down this would not be the only victory for vertex Harbor as on the new Ravens return they would learn from Ed that with Heaven's Rey's death the alliance tactical force is no more and the alliance would face the same fate as they tried to attack cert City with an Airborne Force only for it all to be destroyed it looked to be a Vertex Victory yet the Raven would soon learn this war was not over with Heaven's raised pilot jouster and Crow another vertex Raven dead only Jacko and Zenaida remained as active Ravens this however would soon change as Jaco had one final mission for the raven of this mission traction or weapons that gather data from their battles this data is then transmitted to and processed by the internessing new and more the internet scene has to be destroyed in order to eradicate the pulverizers once and for all we're counting on your help to accomplish this to ensure that the mission's objective is met you and another Raven are Cirque City the different routes one of you will go after any pulverizers roaming free while the other focuses their efforts on the internet scene you must succeed if there is to be any hope for our future to put an end to the pulverizes would fall on the new raven's head yet things would not start off great as arriving at the site of the mission Theory Raven sees the death of Jaco thanks to a damaged floating pulverizer before it starts to attack the new Raven It's a battle that pushes the new Raven skills and yet the new Raven managed to destroy the Red Machine to death before heading in to take out the power supplies for the internet scene only when they arrive it is already offline and zenitha is already there but she is in battle with another pulverizer thank you foreign izer how is that possible now I was the last Raven standing it all falls to new Raven as they do battle with the last pulverizer made by the internet scene it's not an easy feat as with an energy field and fast speed this final pulverizer pushes the Rave into the limit of piloting as the two trade blows yet in the end the Raven is the one left standing as the Victor and as the last Raven of this war yet this again is only one of the many endings to this timeline as finally the last Raven shall tell you of the final route in this final route the new Ravens first mission comes from the alliance who want the Raven to scout out the vertex occupied deorgan Distribution Center formerly under Alliance rule they intend to retake the base but not without having a look around first this look would be done by the new Raven who would along the way take out vertex muscle tracers guarding the base however as the Raven goes deeper and deeper into the base they are ambushed by another Raven going by the name of Bolt this raven seems to have been waiting for the new Raven as the first thing he says over the radio is what took you so long my orders are to kill you it's not exactly what the new Raven expected making it quite the fight as the paratrade blows however due to skill and perhaps luck the new Raven kills bolt before taking their leave unaware the base would have another visitor Jacko the leader of vertex and he claims to have already known the outcome of this battle still this would be the first Raven kill for the new Raven and after returning to base to repair and restock they would learn that Evangel the leader of the alliance tactical forces is ready to strike against vertex and their assets what is more important however is that bolt would be the first Raven to die in this route and it would be by the hands of this new Raven certainly unexpected but it seems vertex would not be one to hold grudges as the new Ravens next mission would come from vertex to take out an alliance Raven by the name of principle at the versus Highland was this a case of eye for an eye or as the brief said the only way to limit the power of a side in this war is to take out their main power the armored cores and the Ravens who pilot them no matter what the new Raven chooses to believe principle and a few Alliance units would fall to the new Raven making this the second Raven killed by this new pilot another mission done the new Raven would rest once more as Jacko sends an email to all Ravens denouncing the alliance as a group of greedy corporate Executives bent on controlling the world and having others do their bidding Jaco's thoughts would be pondered by the new Raven however with their income relying on War the new Raven is soon back to work with principle along with a warlord Raven by the name of greenhorn joining the list of dead Ravens this time the Raven's Mission would see them head out to an area r-11 AC garage under orders from a warlord about a raven they wanted killed off however it is Odd as the brief seems to give detail about how the new Raven should equip their armored Core more noticeable however is the fact that this location does not belong to any warlord making the new Raven wonder what this is all about yet with the promise of large pay and a bounty on his foe's head the new Raven heads out it turns out this mission is not what it seems to be as the new Raven is greeted by another Raven who has this to say you walked right into my trap a trap and the new Raven had fallen for it hook line and sinker yet this trapped bird would not fall so easily as the fight between the new Raven and The Mastermind behind this trap Zubin al-janubi would end with zubin's death it's as the new Raven recovers that another foe steps onto the battlefield a raven by the name of rim fire and he would show no mercy to the battleborn Raven as the two enter into battle once more it's no easy fight as the machine guns of Rimfire rattle the new Ravens already damaged armored Core with each hit yet again thanks to skill and a bit of luck the new Raven puts down Rimfire allowing them to finally catch a break with this battle over the new Raven returns to base to rest however while they do they get an email from another Raven named zeneda she writes about how she has been hearing a lot about the new Raven and how she thinks this war between Alliance and vertex is pointless she claims all she wants is to be true to herself and fight for her beliefs and that they should do battle soon it's a strange email however that battle would come sooner than expected as the new Ravens next mission would be a duel with zeneda at Camp forthrad they move out to meet with zeneda however things do not go to plan for this simple duel between ravens foreign watch out Raven unidentified units are headed your way another force and another Raven by the name of shade show up and try to take them both down zeneda however does not stick around and heads off with some of the enemies chasing her leaving AC shade to the new Raven shade however is nothing compared to the previous Ravens that the new pilot had fought and soon shade Is Burning Alive within his own armored Core before it explodes erasing the pilot within shade joins the list of dead Ravens when the new Raven returns to base although the fight with Senator did not go on she is quick to email the new Raven writing that it was a shame that they did not get to fight however her research assistant had found some information on another Raven who eluded her in Cirque City and now she can't wait until she's taken care of both the new Raven and this raven who had eluded her along with this the alliance in Jaco would email about Evangel swapping sides with the alliance tactical leader going from Alliance to vertex although Jackal seems to think that this turn will only make the alliance fight harder to kill the traitors all this killing and betraying made the new Raven wonder what this war had turned people into they didn't have an answer and instead head out on their next mission from vertex this time taking out an attacking warlord Force who has invaded the airspace of airsol dam and vertex wants them gone it seems an easy Mission with only basic aerial units in action the raven could shoot them out of the sky like swatting flies however after swatting these flies suddenly the new Raven is attacked by another Raven wanton bunker no sooner had the Raven taken down wanton sinking him into the water of the dam another Raven shows up vola Volante wanton's Raven Ally who had come to support him the two Ravens dance with death as they try not to become part of the dam yet vola would be the one to fall here with this Victory going to the new Raven once again adding two more Raven kills to their name it's now only 12 hours till vertex's final attack and as the new Raven rests up they get more email from vertex this time it's warning them of an unknown weapon seen taking out vertex forces with ease and the concerns they have over Evangel as he seems to be acting strange yet it's also among this transmission that the new Raven will see wanton and vola are not the only Ravens to die within these last two hours as one Alliance raven and a former Alliance Raven would die by the names of caspin and trichurat Ravens are falling faster than ever and this would not be the end as the next mission for the Raven would come from Evangel who wanted Aid in taking out a suspicious force in garof desert these MTS would later be learned to be named moles however it's after taking out these MTS that Evangel would then start attacking the new Raven the pair would battle for a while until evangel's AC is sparking at which point he leaves saying it's a confusing encounter however it's one the new Raven survives only to get an email from Jacko explaining that Evangel has not been seen since the last mission he suspects Evangel was spying on vertex for the alliance although he is impressed by how hard of a Time the new Raven gave Evangel and wonders who would be victorious if they both went head-to-head Jaco would not be wrong for now on the list of dead Ravens Evangel would be marked as lost while two more Ravens would join the list as dead namely server is garm and Omega the new Raven had to wonder how many more Ravens were left as the new Raven takes on a new Mission from the alliance tactical Force to take over a Vertex airstrip named sinus this time from the alliance tactical Force who had now been attacked like vertex by an unknown weapon and are wondering if vertex is the one behind it the Raven receives an email from Jacko writing that there are only 10 Ravens left alive indeed with the death of an alliance Raven by the name of Molly Cottle the number of remaining Ravens sits at 10. yet it seems the new Raven would soon change that as their next mission once again from the alliance tactical force would have the new Raven go into the vertex Zone queer energy plant and shut down its power generators in this Mission The Raven would have to deal with the heat of the defenses and they would be forced to fight another Raven by the name of G Faust and finally come face to face with the unknown weapon they've been reading about both G Faust and this unknown weapon would be killed by the new Raven and rest is something the new Raven really needed after these back-to-back battles sadly that rest would be reading four more emails with three out of the four being vertex and Alliance asking for the Ravens continued support to their cause the fourth would be from the alliance Tactical Unit and would name the unknown weapons as pulverizers this dump of information makes the new Raven sigh as being a sought after mercenary certainly had its downsides once again Jacko wants the new Raven to get rid of zeneda at Camp forthrad because no one knows whose side she's going to take this Mission turns out to be Jacko testing the two Ravens against each other however as the pair battle they are interrupted by a pulverizer after the machine gives Chase to zeneda the new Raven returns to base to have more emails waiting with Jacko being the first talking about how strong the pole risers are but this will not stop him looking for the one among the last remaining Ravens it all seems like Babel to the new Raven and what's more zeneda also emails the new Raven talking about the pulverizer and how she's never seen one before and wonders if there are different types the new Raven seems to choose not to answer this question even if they know the answer instead getting back to work by killing off another Raven This Time by the name of sorcerer there's no time to rest however after this AC battle as the new Raven is once again sent out by vertex to take out an alliance Force heading towards Cirque City through the garof desert it feels to the raven that the alliance is running low on Fighters as all they battle is MTS that is until the pulverizer that chase denada shows up Jaco tells the new Raven not to fight it as the machine is too powerful however being fired upon by it their new Raven has little choice but to fight back or be buried here in the desert soon another pile of scrap is added to the desert and the new Raven breathes deeply in their cockpit as Jacko over the radio is impressed that the new Raven destroyed the pulverizer it's a brief moment of respite for the new Raven on their return as they see another Raven has joined the list of dead MooMoo it's nothing new by now and Jacko already has a new mission for the Raven with no other choice the new Raven takes it seeing them head back to garav Desert as Jacko has picked up another Alliance Force passing through more MTS meet their Doom by the new Raven's hand but this battle is far from done as Jacko and his armored Corps shows up and attacks the new Raven it's a quick battle and Jacko has some words for the new Raven but there's still something that needs to be done we must hurry what is Jacko up to the new Raven didn't know but they would learn after the mission The Jacka would go missing marked as lost on the list of ravens leaving only three active Ravens jouster Crow and zeneda new transmissions would come in for the Raven the first from zeneda who writes she thinks the alliance and vertex should be working out what these pulverizers are not fighting the second email comes from vertex reporting on Jacko Vanishing and finally the last one is from Jacko himself who writes how underserk City they found the facility making the pulverizers he named it in terencin and how he wants the new Raven to carry out his last request he ends the email writing you must be dominant to have lasted this long the new Raven had no clue what Jaco was on about after all this the leader of vertex had attacked them used them as a Hitman and now he called them dominant it made them wonder what he was even on about yet the life of a mercenary is never easy and questions would have to wait as vertex sends the Raven off to fight an alliance Airborne force in the versus Highland as this seems to be the alliance's final resistance the fight is tough with small targets like Fighters and helicopters and great numbers however the new Raven would ground them all only to return and have more news both Crow and jouster are now dead leaving only them and zeneda as the last Ravens zeneda would send her fellow Raven an email titled final battle it speaks of weapons that can evolve they'd grow stronger after every battle and would eventually become invincible the only way to stop that from happening is to take out both internacine and pulverizer at the same time you and I are the only ones who can carry out something like that it's as the new Raven closes this email they see a new Mission from Jacko and its brief goes like this assignment is one that many Ravens would hesitate to accept it is my sincere hope that this will not deter you though my final request is that you destroy the internet scene and bring an end to the pulverizers the pulverizers are weapons that gather data from their battles submitted to and processed by the internessing to create a new and more deadly version of pulverizer your target is housed inside the facility located beneath Cirque City it's guarded by swarms of unmanned suicide weapons it produces to defend itself everything has been leading up to this moment Raven to rest in your hands the final mission is to take out the pulverizer and the facility making it The Raven takes this Mission and heads out this time to end it all as they make their way deep into Cirque City they would travel through a tight Corridor with small red Bots that destroyed the corporation's year ago flying at them at high speed once inside the facility The Raven would then take out the power supplies of the facility finally it all seemed to be over or was it for then someone drops in you I had a feeling we'd meet again I've always wondered what it is that sets certain Ravens apart from others maybe I'll find out once I've gotten rid of you this would be the final battle between the new Raven and zeneda who pushes her armored Core to its limits and yet she would still lose to the new Raven as this worthy foe dies she shares some last words with the raven what I am I thought being the best would justify my existence are never that simple though Raven It's you who deserves the title this is the end of the zenada root and the final chapter in the story of armored Core last Raven the secret ending to finish this report on the story of last Raven let us take a fine look at what is known as the secret ending where the last Raven will get a mission from an unknown person who reports that another polarizer can be found below Cirque City this one will be much tougher than the past ones however they know the last Raven has the skills to kill this final machine of war the issue faced here with this ending is that we know of two routes that would lead to their only being a last Raven the second pulverized route and the Zenaida root each one would see a single Raven survive the events of this period and along with this Siege is shutting down of the facility producing these machines of War along with the war machines themselves so where does this leave this Mission as said before in theory we could suggest this happens after either the second pulverizer route or the Zenaida root due to the fact they are the only route where there is truly one last Raven but of course which one is very much up to debate since the record of this single battle is limited and has no substance to link it back to one of these roots in truth one possible answer is that during the second pulverized route that Not only was the second pulverizer made after the new Raven killed the one in Cirque City but so would this blue variant who slipped away as for the zenitor route this also would be the case only it fled before the new Raven arrived but again there is a problem here as from what we know pulverizers require the data of the last one to be made so they could be better if this is so then what stopped it from spitting out two pulverized at the same time during the events of armored Core last Raven sadly there is very little to go on and with this event seeming to have nowhere to call home within the events of last rain even Perhaps it is best left to other Ravens to decide if this really happened or if this battle is simply an extra tale it is with this
+Armored Core Lore The Story of Armored core 2 The Year is ED0158 after the fall of both Chrome and Murakumo, a new war for power broke out between the smaller companies within the underground cities lasting until ED0187 when finally the war would come to a stop with all sides exhausted and the citizens of the underground world seeking an end to the twenty nine years of war as some starts to head back to the surface where the world is starting to show signs of recovery. It just a short year after this that the Formation of the Underground World Ceasefire Committee is made to handle the ceasefire in the Great Depth War. Along with the "Treaty of Isaacs", a war treaty, is signed. While the treaty itself is never disclosed to the public, it seems the Underground cease-fire commission which was meant to disband after all remaining companies had signed however it was decided that the work of the committee was not done as such they would continue in order to rebuild the inter-company information network and reuse company-owned land. It is never stated who or where the members are from however it is very likely some are from the remaining corporations allowing them with their ties and the issac treaty to concentrate the military forces of the remaining organizations and become a powerful controlling force. In just two short years in ED190 the committee would rename themselves as the Earth’s government with a new goal of returning humanity to the surface, they begin an investigation above ground. However while they do this it has become clear that the earth government is not completely free from corporation influence as the funds of these investigations and equipment have to come from somewhere. A year is all it takes for the investigation to happen as with report of surface partially habitable promotes the migration of people to the ground. However while some people took this chance others refused wanting to spend the rest of their days underground as such the rebuilding of earth and the running of the underground cites would be continued to support the choices of all citizens. It during the next five years however in ED0196 that one of the major corporation on earth at the time Zio Matrix the succeeder to Murakumo Millennium found data inherited from the former MURAKUMO Millennium containing the plans of the Mars terraforming project started in ED096. Taking these finding to the new earth government an independent exploration of Mars it was discovered that the terraforming of Mars was in progress for while the corporations of the past had been battling underground the pioneering fleet equipped with artificially intelligent robots sent to Mars had kept on working. Its with this report that Zio matrix sends a survey mission to Mars it is presumed on an agreement with the earth government and Determines that Mars has a habitable environment. It should be noted here that among these people would be a raven named Leos Klein who acted as security for the team and seem eager to be apart of the team. All this was only good news for the government as earth in it current state could not handle the population it had as such migration to Mars began. However with the earth government still dealing with earth and the underground cities the migration task was handed off to Zio Matrix due to their advantage in Mars research. This would let Zio Matrix get a head start on the new planet over their rival corporation named Emeraude as they quickly began to develop and build their own cities, power stations and mt factories. However like the corporations before them the chase for power began as the two would soon begin to fight on Mars, a place where the earth government could not interfere due to the lack of power and distance between them. With earth government busy and lacking in man power to deal with the Mars divisions of these corporations. Two more organisations would head to Mars, the first being nexus Concord which had began to function as the new Raven umbrella organization on Earth however relocated to Mars and began to function as an intermediary organization there resulting in ravens from earth going to Mars as that is where the work was and creating a rifted between Mars born ravens and earth ravens who believed the ravens from earth are make their homes economic system unstable. Along with this group another corporation by the name of Balena, they seeked to gain a more equal footing on mars with the other corporations unlike they have on earth. However their earth division would not supply them with the resources for such a task as such they are given the bare minimum for the task and while the mars division is no where near as large or resource heavy as Zio matrix or Emeraude they managed to establish themselves with enough military might to fend off the other corporations and facilities to build ac parts. All this would lead to the red planet becoming a battlefield once more, as fighting to control the planet the corporations would battle all over the planet hiring ravens and even using their own miltary might to secure or take over bases and others arenas of importance. This all happening between the years of ED0199 and ED0210 when finally the earth government tried to stop this with their own branch the LCC the Large Scale Enterprises of the Central Committee. However with limited resources, a general lack of Mars war fare and having little to no armored cores on their side the LCC became nothing more then a dog with no bite on mars as the fighting between corporations to went on. After thirteen years of corporation war this is when a new raven would spread their wings under the guidance of another raven by the name of Strung. The test is explained to the new raven in this briefing. This mission is designed to test your abilities. The objective is simple: Find and destroy all MTs that have entered a particular area of the city. To be registered in the arena as a Raven, you must succeed in this Mission. If you fail you will be executed. A Raven will accompany you as an examiner. He will not help you under any circumstances. We're eager to see what you learned on Earth. The location of this mission would in Zio Satellite City and the raven would show their skill easily completing this mission by taking down seven mts. After this the raven is welcomed into the Nexus Concord as a raven and an arena combatant. After this the raven is greeted by new emails the first being from nerves Concord explain their role and what they expect of the raven while the two email is from his new Concord liaison manager, the person in charge of his assignments and communication support Nell Aulter. She welcome s he new raven and explains her role to the raven and that it will up to them how long she remains as their manger. She also writes a line that speaks about how the life of a raven really is. Some birds can fly and others can not. Its these word the raven keeps in their mind as they look at the options open to them as along with missions the arena is also open to them. A place where a raven could climb all the way to the top to gain the title of nine breaker and be seen as a powerful and skill raven. Whatever route they pick the raven would have to do both to become a know figure on mars and earn their keep. As such the raven would do this climbing the ranks of the arena and completing missions such as elimate informer which would see the raven working for the LCC to kill an LCC employee that is selling their information to corporations, MT suppression which will see the raven work for Zio matrix to take out prototype muscle tracers in their Bundle mts factory which may have started malfunctioning due to electrotactic magnetic field of a passing meator and defend the bridge which see the raven destroy all Zio Matrix mts in the area as it it under the jurisdiction of the LCC. After this and climbing the ranks in the arena taking down foes such as werehound who has a reputation of putting new raven back in their place. The raven would then get a message from Nell with the subject disorder units it reads as follows We have a request for the removal of disorder units. These are unmanned, armored weapons known to have existed prior to the martain development. Disorder units display organised insect like behaviour and appear unannounced in various martain cite and facilitates causing great damage. It’s not exactly known what the disorders are. We only know they’re dangerous and that a number of different types exist. The mission called remove disorder units comes from the LCC and will send the raven into the 17th district of the underground high-speed railway. Here they will encounter these small green armored looking spiders who vary in size from large to small and all able to fire an energy shots. The small mass of units would destroy a train before the raven arrives showing even for their small size these foes could cause real damage together. Never the less the raven gets to work, blading and shooting these Disorder units until the tunnel is clear allowing the other services to clean up the tracks and wreckage. After this the raven would resume missions and climbing up the arena ranks all the while the war between Zio matrix and Emurade would go on along some of these would include Defuse explosives where the raven is hired by Emeraude to remove explosives which had been planted there by an unknown force, Attack Rektena Installation another request from Emurade to take out the Rektena installation in the Hellas Plain. It is a Solar power station with solar devices blanketing the area, collecting sunlight and converting it into energy for use in the major Martian cities. The idea is to undermine the public trust in the corporation by showing them the corporation can not supply them with power. Another mission the raven takes is capture cargo a mission from Emeraude that will have the raven attack Zio Matrix transport vehicle travelling on the T-20 highway which they believe is carrying information on a newly developed technology. However once the raven causes the transport vehicle to crash the back of lift up and a disorder unit walks out. Nell is surprised at this but tells the raven there is no way to recover it so they are to destroy it and then return. After the raven does they return to base to find an email from Nell talking about the event titled Zio Martix and disorder units. In the message the young women write about how the concord confirmed that it was a disorder unit being transported however it is a type not seen before. She also question how and where this corporation is capturing these units before ending that if the concord find anything she will let the raven know. It seems the red planet has many secrets however in their job the raven can only keep moving forward as such their next mission that comes the raven way after more arena matches is one titled spaceport escort. It comes from LCC requesting the raven to guard The Vihul Spaceport the main hub for travel between Earth and Mars. Since One of their Earth Government spaceships is scheduled to land at the Spaceport. They believe the attack is probably intended to prevent it from doing and suspect one of the corporations is behind it so the raven job is to make sure it is clear for the incoming spaceship to land. It seems a simple mission and arriving at the spaceport all is quiet even one of the mts who also guarding the spaceport comments that everything seems normal. That is until the mts is blown up by attack making the rest scramble and the raven ready themselves for action as the spaceport become under attack from a number of jet fighters before a bomber show up to. The raven is able to complete the mission taking down all forces and once again returns to concord only to have a new message waiting for them. This time it is from the LCC who thanks the raven for their work writing that the spaceship arrived safely and now they can move forward with their plans. The raven pays little mind to this unaware that on this ship the LCC had just brought AC’s of their own a group called the freighters. Stillthe raven goes on to perform more missions and climb the arena ranks once more. Some of these mission include Escourt armroed train where for the first time the corporation Balena would request the raven to guard their armored train black tail from emurade forces as it is carrying new armored core parts. In this mission the raven will kill the raven Cruel Justice who shows up as part of the attacking force. As such like any raven killed on a mission he will be removed from the arena. Another mission is Assist Malea Base where a secret zio martix base located in the Barreld Desert is being being attacked by disorder units and they want the raven to clean them out along with reminding the pilot that this base is a secret and its location must never be disclosed to other parties. After this however the raven would be contacted by emeraude, they request the raven to head to the talent underground factory which has come under attack by LCC force. The reason for the need for a raven is while this factory looks to be a simple mt factory in truth it is where they storge all their ac information as such they believe LCC attack is because they have learned of this. As such the raven is to go in and take out the LCC forced before they reach the data with the added bonus that another raven will already be on site to aid. To the raven it seems like a simple mission after all at this time the LCC is still a rather weak power so they head off to shoot their way through the place only as they do they hear their ally having trouble as over the radio frighteners already on mars followed by a cry of pain as they are destoried. Luckily the raven is just behind the door of the room where this is taking place and opens it only to be confronted by two armored cores. One points its enegry machine gun at the raven ready to fight however a radio call on an open channel calling these ac pilots by their names Boyle and Remille tells them that the mission is over making the pair leave as the raven stands there before his allies wreaked ac. Nell words shake over the radio as she says the name frighteners before telling the raven that the mission is complete and to return home. However in truth the raven had failed as such they would end paying out for repairs and ammo. Luckily their time in the arena had allowed them to save credits from the wins. With a sour taste in their mouth the raven returns to concord only to have two emails waiting for them. The first is from LCC how writes address all martain citizens about how the existence of the corporation might ruin Mars with their environmentally risky development and excessive arms race it could cause another great destruction. As such as the governing body they will ensure that this does not happen as such all corporations on Mars are henceforth under their control and will be regulated by them. They also threaten drastic punishment for corporation promoting aggressive tactics and this goes for the raven working for them too. It is a clear message that the LCC seem ready to take over mars however the raven knew corporations simply do not roll over as such they move on to the next email from Nell explain about the frightener it explain how they are the earth government special forces, most are ex ravens and have come to enforce order among the waring corporations along with weaken them by taking out Ravens and she believe they can do it as their leader is a man named Leos Klein a rumoured nine-breaker from earth who never surrender his number one ranking in the arena. It with this information on hand that the raven heads out more taking on more mission like ground based attack, save water generation plant and rescue research team. All these would show the corporation paid no heed to the LCC rule and instead went on as they were and Nell would message the raven again about clear it was becoming clear that frighteners where targeting ravens and warns the raven to be careful. The raven also get an email from the conord itself addresses about how very early on terraforming project how there is a large number of ancient structures unearthed proving that at some point in the distant past was inhabited by an advanced civilization. However all this has been kept a secret from the people living on mars as they need hope not silly stories of the past. The secrets of mars and now the LCC going after ravens, it would seem mars is about to go through a change however for the raven life would go on as a new mission comes in infiltrate rader base. This request would come from Balena who wants the raven to aid them in taking over the emeraude zamda radar base. This would be done in a joint effort with the LCC who will come in once the radars of the base are taken out. The raven would take this mission and compete it however after they would then receive a new mission this time from Emeraude. It seems the loss of their ac data and the LCC last attack is forcing their hand as this mission ask the raven to feign an attack in the arden river which will drawn away the defence force and allow their own team to attack. They are doing this as they believe to crush the LCC, Zio martix technology must be incorporated into their own. However while on this mission things do not go as plan as during the mission the raven recoves a call from Nell stating the attack force from Emeraude as been wiped out and calls for a retreat. An email later from Nell would confirm the attacking forces of emeraude were wiped out by the frighteners. This puts them in a very bad position as this attack has made them lose nearly all their military strength, forcing them to be pushed into a corner by LCC. However it is clear they will not give up without a fight. LCC however would not stop here as the raven would then get two missions from Zio martix one requesting them to guard their head quarter rooftop as the LCC is launcing n attack on it while another asks the raven to detsory top secret files in containers that were being transported by their own transport plane before got shot down. This would not be the only mission as the raven would also be asked by LCC to detory the rader base they captured not long by taking out its main computer giving emeraude no mean in which to continue battling. If this was not enough to keep the raven busy its made clear by an email that the Balena corporation are working with LCC upgrading their ravens as it seem this coprtaion was simple aiding the side it thought is winning but also trying to push it own power on mars. The LCC had lots of moving parts and it seems Leos is a key part as the raven gets a mission from strung the raven who watched over him during the test to take out a Zio martix reseach team only then to turn on him saying Leos was right, your too powerful. The raven however does not die here, putting the veteran raven into the ground they return once again only to be sent off by zio Martix to recover some stolen files from balena ac research lab a mission which would see the raven recover the files but also plant a bomb to detsory the lab. It in this whirl wind of missions that Concord would update the raven on some records they found from Murakumo millennuin archive that state that disorder untis are guard unit created by an ancient martain civilization. However it seem they are not acting on their own as they are being guided by some remote control tower. However no such tower has been found, but if it was and someone could take it over it would be relatively east to conquer mars. The mysterys of mars would keep unravelling as would the battles as the raven is once again call into action by balena who’s facing Emeraude last trick as they have two large surface weapons named SRBIA advancing through the barreld desert toward be balena’s satellite replays which if detsoried would cripple their information network. As always the raven is ready to strike taking down these weapons along with two ally mts however what this will result in is the end of emeraude’s mars power grab as both the mars branch earth branch have agreed to come control of the LCC and the earth government. With one down, Zio Martix and Balena are the only two corporations still active in the fighting however even this is not all clear cut either. As it would be learned that Zio matrix earth headquarters and their mars division relationship is deteriorating at a rapid pace due to the earth headquarters not wanting to damage it ties to the earth government however the mars division is only concered with consolidating power. In such a case the raven missions would not let up as their next mission would take them to the Murakumo dome a structure left over from the first terraforming. They want the raven to sneak in as Leso Klein as been seen entering and leaving it a lot and hope they will find something to oppresse the LCC. However in the end this turns out to be a trap set by LCC who fire a missiles at the dome to destroy it while also sending two loyal LCC raven to kill the intruder. Luckly the skill of the raven allows them to escape taking the lives of the two LCC ravens as they do. However rest is not allowed for the busy raven as the next mission comes in fast. This time from the Zio martix earth headquarters. It tells the raven that they are now at war with their mars division thanks to the heavy handed tactics of the LCC. However since the battle is no in their favor they made a peace proposal with the LCC during an earth meeting. The mars divison made it very clear they did not want this and left the meeting saying we still have a card up our sleeve. It made Zio earth headquarter worry as after this the mars branch ceased all commnications and sent troop to the underground railway on mar which they believe is where this card is being kept. So the raven would set off, clearing out any who oppose them before finally they find this card, a very large disorder unit hiding in one of the tunnels. A battle begins between the two and the raven comes out the winner putting this card down, however the zio mars branch is not done as straight after this another mission comes from Zio’s earth headquarter as now their mars branhc has declared independence and now are readying to fire high density napalm missiles from an occupied quire missile station at major martain cities. A desperate attack however the pay is so high the raven can not say no as they go in killing two ac’s who are guarding the missiles named Heilos and time keeper before stopping the lauch. It here finally it seems the war on mars stop as after this the LCC send a message to all ravens. Unchecked corporate competition has taken it toll on mars, just as it had on years years ago. However now that the battles have ended a;; corporation will fall into line under the LCC’S Control. We the LCC hereby make a declaration we have achieved the unification of mars and brought order and peace to this planet. It looks to be all over as the LCC would send the raven a mission in it is a request to stand guard at the Vilhil spaceport as with this new order, the LCC is getting a new director from earth. The job is simple stand there as a show of power after all this will be their last job as an independent raven as soon all raven will work for the LCC. The end of wars on mars and of ravens. The thought passes through the mind of the raven as they stand there watching as the shuttle lands with the vip. However suddenly an mt is down by gun fire coming from the special force escort of the new director, an announcement blares out over the communication radio. A rebellion by the special forces quickly saw the shuttle of the vip filled with bullet as the raven fights to clear the base of the attack force. In the end however the new director would be killed and the speical forces would leave mars shaken. As for the raven they would return to concord to be greeted by more emails, one from Leos Klein the leader of the special force we write that raven have too many restrictions, as such those who wish to create a world where racens are totally free should follow me. The other would be from the earth government itself, writing that the LCC is no longer functional due to the mutiny of the speicals force and how they will be taking control of mars temporary with the gaol of suppressing all rogue elements starting with Les Klein. They ask for the ravens understanding and support. A new war began on Mars and now the raven found themselves in the middle of it as soon the earth government is sending the raven on mission after mission some of these including surpassing the zio city where LCC had taken over Zio own city and there headquarters, space station assault which see the raven remove more sepical force from the hammerhead space station and the removal of a large flying disorder unit, Underground lab where the raven is sent in to clean up the remains of the special forces that fled to the underground lab of Zio Matrix headquarters where here the raven will witness and fight another strange discorder unit. The battles wore down the raven and rest for the fighting mercenary is only filled with Nell writing to him about what concord has discovered about Klein. He wrote a report during the first mars research team stating that a central control systeam exisits on mars and all information regarding the history of mars is stored there. The only ones that have access to this system however are armored machines unique to mars, the disorder unit they have been fighting. However they have no idea where this system is and somehow does Klein know something about it location already? It all questions and no answer and the raven has little time to think as another mission is given to the raven this time the government have confirmed Leos Klein location in Rapture core, the earth to space elevator. The raven heads there thinking that after all this maybe the war would end however after battling their way to the core to meet and battle Leos Klein who is waiting for them in the reactor suddenly the leader of the LCC starts to repeat himself, again and again until suddenly his ac blows up. However Nell points out that its unmanned, this ac did not have a pilot. Leos was not in it and soon the raven would learn why as their return would lead to their next mission. For this battle had been a diversion while the special forces took over an LCC military facility and launched Balena STAI battleship from it. The earth governments admits in the briefing for the mission that this battleship has enough power to destory the entire planet and now they would be sending a team of raven to deal with Klein inside who seemed to be headed for Phobos, one of the two moons orbting Mars. While the purpose of this is unknown at the time to the government and the raven, Phobos is an ancient Martian construct designed as some kind of super weapon that served as the control unit for the Disorder units. Yet unknown to both parties at the time the raven sets off with the team of other raven to shit down the STAI battleship. All of the team expect the raven is lost either in transport to the battle ship or inside leaving only the raven to fight a waiting leos who has some words for them. Its a quick battle however Klein is no finished for making his escape he tells the raven he will be waiting on Phobos to be reborn. The ramblings of a mad man or where the real final battle would be? Nell would confirm in an email after that concord has learned that Probos is the martian control system however they have no idea what is goal is there and what he would gain from this information. There is more questions then answers yet for the raven the next mission that lands on their lap would be one of great important to raven history and the future of mars. The earth government recives a transmission from Leso Klein on phobos it claims the moon is in fact an artifact left by an ancient martain civilization. He claims its an enormous mobile weapon controlled by a high tech computer. While they had a hard time believe it, as recent calculations done by earth scientist have shown p hobos orbit has already shifted. The government does not care if it is wepaon or not the fact is if phobos plummets to mars then the damage it would do to mankiind would be irreparable. The raven must stop klein. If they do in return the earth government will grant all ravens their freedom, they relinquish their control over them and allow the raven to live as independent mercenaries. It is the greatest reward offer to raven ever and as such what choice did the raven have. To live free as a bird, they could not turn away from this offer. The battle on Phobos would be the toughest the raven have faced having to take down, a large disorder unit, one of Leon right hand raven named Boyce, see leon betray his last remaining ally as she is left to die and finally having to face Leon himself in a strange and power machine disorder unit in two forms known as Scarabaeus and Filial. After its defeat the raven still recovering would hear that the moon is falling towards mars at an increased rate leading to Leos to tell the raven to destroy the orbit control mechanism further in as it will cause it to stop before it hits mars. The raven does this however the damage causes phorbos to start deteriorate leaving the raven no time to escape. However as the raven makes a run for it and as they do Klein asks the raven what is their last wish? It seems that wish is to escape, for as phobos explodes Nell shares one last message with the raven as the story of armroed core 2 comes to an end.
