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

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.
