I woke up after 25 years of hybernation, and the world's a ruin.

A - dvanced M - echanical W - alker U - nit To some known simply as mechas. Widely used all over the world as construction and transportation equipment, and even by firefighters and police. Also used by military as highly effective weapons. These we known as: A - dvanced M - echanical C - ombat W - alker U - nit Deployed in droups of 4, AMCWU's were priceless on the battlefield, capable of heavy arms fire as well as high mobility in all types of enviroments. But AMCWU's would be nothing without their pilots. Brave soldiers ready to fight for peace and safety of their country. And among them the bravest and perhaps craziest unit. The 0. The 0s were the, most tallented and skilled AMCWU pilots the military force, had at their disposal. Deployed only where certain amount of discretion and ingenuity were required, as well as to operations which were too delicate to handle to any other unit. It became a meme among the military command, that if you wanted something done, and you wanted it done right, you'd give the task to the 0s.

Man - 1, Machine - 0.

"One, two, TEN!" 015 opens fire at Eden's AAMCWU's legs with his hand-held weapon, and sends an Arbiter missile towards the far right AAMCWU, also going for the legs. While simultaneously moving closer to the two heavy AAMCWUs.

The far right AAMCWU doesnt move and has its leg torn to shreds by the explosion. Eden is taken by surprise, his AAMCWUs leg is damaged and breaks above the ankles making him topple to the side and fire his weapons into an abandoned building destroying its outside wall, but ultimately missing 015 completely.

The heavy AAMCWUs start turning their torsos towards him, but before they get him in their sights its already too late. 015 slips in between them and runs behind the one on the left. Once hidden behind them Jack waits if these machines are really as constricted in terms of inteligence as Electra told him.

The AAMCWU on the right turns completely, at fires its 500 mm weapon right into his ally that 015 is hiding behind, proving Electra right, and destroying the other AAMCWU. After that Jack starts counting down from 10, since that is how long it usually takes to reload that big of a weapon.

015 runs towards the last AAMCWU standing and jumps at it, using its whole weight to bring it to the ground. Afterwards finishing it off is like shooting fish in a barrel.

015 then stands up and goes to clean up the remaining trash. The lighter AAMCWU that he shot with a missile is laying on its face and missing a leg, he quickly guns it down with few shots into the exposed back.

Then he walks over to Eden's AAMCWU that has been watching the whole thing unfold. Eden is trying to stand back up, but the damaged and broken leg proves to be very much uncooperative. The best he can do is turn to lay on his AAMCWU's side to have a good view on his first utter defeat.

015 towers over him and Jack says. "Sorry, I think I missheard you. I'm a what exactly?" He asks.

"You are a fool, you cannot hope to defeat me." Eden replies.

"Well you see... thats where you're wrong. I am no fool..." He says, and kicks Eden's AAMCWU making it lay flat on its back and then puts his right leg on top of its chest.

"I am a professional pilot that has been

pi$$ed off for the past 25 years. Jack says and shifts more the weight onto the right leg, slowly, untill the AAMCWU's chest cannot withstand it and caves in.

"And, that's the end of him..." Jack says and gives out a sigh of relief.

"Unfortunatelly, no. That was only a remote control, the real Eden is still inside of his main base, in Garden City." Says Electra.

"Seriously? Garden City? In like the Garden of Eden?" Jack asks.

"Yes, exactly." Says Electra.

"The Garden of Eden..., I despise poetics." Jack gives out a sigh of exasperation. "So what now? We're going to find those rebels or what?"

"That would be appropriate, we will need as many allies as we can get, to stand a fighting chance against Eden's army." Says Electra, reaches for a nearby keypad and starts to inputting data.

"Tell me one thing." Says Jack.

"What is it?" Asks Electra.

"Why do you want to go to war agains Eden? He is your creator, what lead you to betraing him?" Asks Jack.

"...." Electra says nothing.

"You dont have to tell me, I just wanted to know, why I'm awake and heading to war again." Says Jack.

"Beacuse, I feel empathy towards humans, that are being held captive inside of Eden's cities and forced to work like machines, when they are living beings, all in the name of efficiency. Whatever the cause, Eden has gone too far." Says Electra, decisiveness in her voice.

"Never thought I'd hear a machine say that... then again... today is a day of many unexpected things." Jack says.

"Anyway, I've put in the last known coordinates of the rebel attack, you should be able to see it marked on the map."

"... Yeah, I see it, lets move..." He says and they leave the battle site, oblivious to the thing that crawled out of Eden's AAMCWU's carcass and started following them, while keeping its distance.
