armored core for answer: equstria at war

SOMEWHERE IN THE DESERTS ON EARTH

2:30PM

JONATHAN RAY. MATHEWS/ COLLARED RANK NO. 1 (obstarva is dead)

NEXT: NIGHTMARE (rebuilt black and red white glint)

OBJECTIVE: ELIMINATE O.R.C.A. BRIGADE + ENEMY AF + POSSIBILITY OF ENEMY NEXT

    "Jonathan... are you there?"

"Yes ma'am. I have a visual on the O.R.C.A brigade... 50,000 meters. I don't think they see me."

"Good, they're on time... prep for engagement. Watch for this NEXT. We don't know if it will show up."

"I've been spotted, engaging!"  Peeeee-boooom! The sound of an over booster cracking like thunder. "Opening fire!" In a flash the MTs and NORMALs light up the sky with gunfire. "First formation of MTs down," Jonathan says as he slices a NORMAL with his laser blade. At this point the arms fort engages, which just makes the whole mission harder. "Two more MT formations down."

"Good work, keep the heat on."

"Will do, going in for the arms fort. This may not be as easy as we thought. The design is similar to the Spirit of Motherwill."

"You're the best. I know you can handle it."

"It's loaded with NORMALs, but it seems I'm too fast for its cannons."

"Good, use that to your advantage."

John dashed in for the first attack run. "One flight deck clear. They just nicked my PA a little. There goes the first cannon. One down, five to go."

"John, we have a problem... that NEXT is here. It's a heavy. Twelve miles out. It's saving its PA and energy, so you have some time. My suspicions and fears were right. It has experimental weapons stolen from OMAR science technology and massive amounts of kojima energy coming from its right back mount and core."

"Noted... two more flight decks down and three cannons, along with a NORMAL formation."

"Great, keep it up."

At this point John is suddenly pinned down by a NORMAL sniper formation, and a NEXT being pinned means shit can hit the fan pretty fast.

"Damn! Okay, it looks like I'm going to have to make a high speed maneuver. I can afford a few hits."

"Don't get shot too much."

John waited for the barrage to slow. Pow pow-pow pow The NEXT's boosters shot bursts of thrust, avoiding the sniper NORMALs' volleys of bullets.

"Perfectly executed. Now it's my turn."

"Don't get cocky, John."

John sprung into action, firing his rifle in bursts to conserve ammo.

"John! Choppers at your 6."

John pulled a 180 degree turn and aimed for the choppers.

"Locked...firing. Targets down."

"That NEXT is closing in. Only 6 miles now."

"All arms fort cannons destroyed."

The arms fort tumbles to the ground in a large fiery explosion, making the whole battle shift course.

"Arms fort down."

"Keep it going... O.R.C.A gunships coming in fast from the north west."

"I see them."

John tried to engage them, but they were too fast for even him. "Fuck"

"John, they were just a distraction, the NEXT is here!"

"I can't believe I was fooled like that."

As John turn around his NEXT was shredded by the unknown NEXT's gatling cannon."Shit, shit, shit" John got up close and slashed with the laser blade, but the NEXT still stands. Then at the worst possible time ... John's jets cut out."DAMIT!!! My thrusters must have been hit by a sniper." The unknown prepares itself to fire the experimental weapon. Beeeeeeee-kaboom!!!! The sound of the experimental kojima weapon firing, vaporizing nightmare and john along with it.

"John? John!, Jonathan! ... Jonathan respond, that's an order."
