???? POV
Man today is definitely not our day. First we had a three minute traffic delay on the road here,then a two hour waiting line and almost got into fight which I had to break up. But most of the suffering was worth it when we got inside. Oh right your probably wondering who I am well wonder no further my name is Shiro Gurinto and currently I'm trying to-
"Please can I get the last doughnut." A familiar voice said, one that belonged to my sister,her name was Hikari and was the cause for my current headache. Don't get me wrong I love my little sister as much as any brother could but she can get very unpredictable when sugar is in her bloodstream. Right now I was trying to keep it out of her reach while she was reaching for the sugary treat.
"Stop bothering the poor guy Ruby''. Another familiar voice said out of sheer boredom than anything else. oh right i forgot to introduce my friends. the one dying from boredom is Jake Wilson. I turned around and spotted Jake and our other member from another table, a teenage girl with red eyes and pale skin with red and yellow highlights in her hair Yuno was her name. Yuno wasn't like most teenage girls, while they like texting on their phones she read books that held information on stuff like alchemy and magic but most of it was from some anime that we watch together sometimes I think she was our personal magic witch bodyguard because of her mother like nature to protect people and her obsession with magic. Now Jake was the carefree kinda of guy but right now he was tired because of how long it took to get here and our costumes.
Jake was a Titanfall 2 pilot even though it was made from scratch it looked really convincing however he was missing his weapons as we did not have enough time to make most of the props of our characters. Yuno decided to go as braixen the second evolution of the 6th gen starter fennekin she also got a witch hat for dramatic effect but as I stated before she is missing some props mainly the signature stick or wand that was carried around in her tail. Now finally me and Hikari went for something with a little flare, as you may have already guessed my sister is Ruby Rose from RWBY, she used eye contacts for ruby's silver eyes, we bought a red riding hood cape and made it into the red cloak and the rest we bought with our allowance except for the gun scythe crescent rose. What was my costume you ask well that was easy a well known mech that was a force to be reckoned with.
White Glint.
But enough of that let's get back on topic. After we finished our food we decided to look for some merchandise then we spotted a very interesting looking booth. The seller was dressed as Mr. Sato from Ajin Demi human. While Jake started a conversation with him the rest of us eyed his merchandise which surprised all of us that he had exactly what we were looking for. For Jake I spied an R-201 Carbine and the legendary Smart Pistol which looked very realistic he even got the ammo meter right on the bat. For Yuno the stick for her costume and a book that was titled The Magic Archive Complete Addition. For me and Ruby Crescent Rose and both the 051ANNR and 063ANAR rifles. We decided to buy what we needed for our costumes. [here's an image of the merchant]

"How much for the rifles?" I asked him.
"$200 each but i have another offer that involves all of you". He said with smile on his face. All of us started to listen to him carefully after that.
"Each of you will get all your merchandise for $900 dollars".
All of us huddled together and immediately started a debate to accept or decline the offer. After 2 minutes of debate we agreed to accept the offer. After we gave him the money he quickly gave us our items with a malicious smile.
"Thank you for your generous donation". Said the merchant.
"Thanks" I replied rather nervously due to his disturbing smile.
"No problem oh by the way have a safe trip on your journey Shiro".
And just like that I was in shock. How did this guy even know my name and what did mean by have a safe trip.
"SHIRO HELP!"
That was my sister's voice I thought. Why would she- and once again I was at a loss for words as I looked behind to see my friends and my sister being dragged in to some black puddle that appeared out of no where. I looked down to my feet only to discover I would share the same fate. It quickly consumed all of us and my vision faded to black and I lost consciousness.
Location: Unknown
Initiating optic reboot....
Optic system restored.
Third person mode activated.
Shiro finally regained conscious and put a hand to his head.
"Did anyone get the number on that truck". He said with a groan.
After the headache subsided he looked around surveyed his surroundings and realized he was in some kind of med bay. To his left there was a monitor displaying his brain waves and IV fluid and his EN capacity. He looked in front of from him and noticed a door. He decided to leave and walked out the door. He entered a hallway that looked similar to a navy ship and decided to go left. As Shiro was walking he began to think about his current situation.
"What is this place and where am I"? He thought.
"More importantly where is everyone".
No one answered his thoughts as he wandered the dark silent hallways as his footsteps and the creaking of the ship were the only sounds of company. As Shiro roamed the halls he realized something was different about him. And it wasn't the good kind of different. For one he was seeing more than he normally did mostly on the corners of his face. He felt like he wasn't wearing anything. He tried to pulled the armor off of his arm only to stop when he felt pain from doing so.
"Did I just feel pain from pulling the armor off". Shiro thought in shock.
"But how is that possible." Thought Shiro.
The answer was not far behind as he found a window that showed off his new... unique features. He gasped in shock as he realized why everything felt different. He was no longer human.
He was now White Glint.
Shiro couldn't believe what he had become and immediately began to think rationally and calmly about this.
"W-What WHAT HAVE I BECOME?!"
Or not
Shiro screamed in denial and ran not caring in which direction he went until he crashed through an exit door. Shiro then came to a screeching halt thanks to his metallic feet. Shiro took in his new surroundings and began to analyze his current situation.
One he was the Armored Core NEXT White Glint.
Two he was on the Arms Fort The Spirit Of Motherwill.
Three where ever he was it was winter and a very harsh one since he couldn't see past 10 feet.
So naturally our protagonist gave the appropriate and reasonable response to this situation.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH"

"Hey it's me Shiro."
''I don't believe it, is this real"?
"Yep this is real big bro."
"R-Ruby your here too but how and why do you look so much like your character?"
"Isn't it obvious, she's become Ruby Rose."
"Yuno you too."
"HEY don't forget about me!"
"Do we have to remember you?"
"Why you little-"
"This is all too much to take in."
"Indeed White Glint."
"W-What WHO ARE YOU!?"
"Why your operator of course but you should worry more about those people over there."
"But those are crystal ponies from the Crystal Empire."
"P-Please help me."
"SHUT UP you worthless slave."
"Sombra YOU"LL PAY WITH YOUR LIFE FOR THIS HRAAAAAHH!"
NEXT TIME ON CRYSTAL REVOLUTION
The Weird Reunion! Save The Empire!
"Just a little farther I can't give up now."
