Leos Klein, a Raven who piloted armored core units to the top ranking position on the leaderboard of the arena, has destroyed the core of the Ravens' Nest and Nine-Ball with it, but any further thoughts on the future disappear when a mysterious lone mission request appears in his inbox promising a better life.
Meanwhile, in Equestria, Twilight Sparkle receives a wave of energy emitting from the Whitetail Woods in the shadow of night. Investigation leads to discovery as two species unknown to each other struggle to form absolute trusts between them. He came in a machine, while another somewhere else is under construction.

A first generation Armored Core crossover. Set after the events of Armored Core: Master of Arena.
Chapters (8)
A story about Armored Core you say...dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Luna_lolface.png
I'll give it a try
Edit: After reading it I'd say that was good. Grammar is clean and I thought the story flowed pretty well. I'm not normally into crossovers, but I'm such an AC fan I can't resist (I mean look at my namedl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/sillyfilly_Twilight_Sparkle.png ). My guess is not a lot of people will know what Armored Core is because of its mainly overseas following, but it's their loss.
Never heard of Armored Core before, but I like your writing. Tracked.

Armored Core is a customize mecha game for PlayStation 1, 2, & 3. I have all three PSOne AC games, and almost all of the PS2 games from the series.
In the game, you can build and customized your mecha, called an AC. It's a great game, and fantastic series to follow. It's consider a classic now.
it's okay but it needs a lot of improvement here and there. mostly the flow of the story and some things that are asking the questions I think it might be just a little too unnecessary or jusright. Story felt rushed.
If anyone wants an additional character from the first three games, arena members included, to make an appearance, please state them now.
Also, I have no editor.

I know you already mentioned fighting against Nine-Ball before going to Equestria, but Nine-Ball is probably the most iconic enemy in the series and demands attention. If he wasn't already in your plans (he could be) seeing him in the actually story would be sweetdl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/discord.png
As for your editor concerns, there is a groups you could join "Looking for Editors" where you just put you story up and see if someone is willing to take it. Have to say though, you have very polished skills to post this quality of story without an editor.
543353
Let's see about that.
Anyone else? They must be from either:
Armored Core
Armored Core: Project Phantasma
Armored Core: Master of Arena
nice chapter
Another good chapter. I got a good chuckle at that last paragraphdl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Vinyl_Scratch_lolface.png
nice story
Armored Core crossover. I approve of this.
Please, continue.

Patience my friend.
Have I mentioned this is my first story to ever see the Internet?
And if that is the case, you're doing very well. So hopefully, some time far off in the future we might see more of your works put out into cyber space.

Find me a muse, and my mind will wander for all your hearts' content
Give... Me. MOOOOOOOOOOSES.
(Misread that didnt you? Assumptions Assumptions. poor you)
Damn you update this fast. Keep it comingdl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra.png

>Moozes
I never bothered with "Muse" because it wouldn't sound like anything like it. Poor you, making assumptions.

I think fast, I type fast, I have nothing left to do in the afternoon. I try to limit chapters to one any day. Games to %100, you know.
I have trouble comprehending exactly what an AC's going to fight in this dimension. The biggest (and most dangerous) things around are dragons and hydras, and they're not going to survive a Karasawa or Moonlight. I'm thinking you'll perhaps bring in an Ursa Major. But even that sounds like a very dubious match up against a top level AC (thinks back to the giant MT).
550286 MWAHAHAH! Goal Accomplished! You made assumptions about me making assumptions, equaling that we BOTH made assumptions, equaling out to, we're both kinda stupid :P
551954
Patience my friend. You'll know soon enough.
551981
That we are.
551981
Well, making assumptions are a necessary part of any sort of discussion.
552433 And as well as being an important part of life!
Lovely that you didn't mention the Raven's name that took out Nine-Ball, as that Raven happens to be the player. Genius.
553004
No, the one who killed Nine-Ball was Leos himself. The Raven who destroyed "Justice" is a different one. And I fixed a bit of confusion
553022
Assuming this doesn't branch off from canon events, Leos Klein will get returned to the Armored Core universe and subsequently get killed during the Phobos mission in Armored Core 2 right?
554069
I think being in a world with colorful ponies that teach him about friendship would have an effect on him. Just leave it to the one who destroyed "Justice". We don't know much about him.
Edit: I have chapter five for you all, but I'm not giving it to you yet! So twiddle your thumbs and wait for morning tomorrow!
541828
Gen 3's my fave, but I gotta say I'll always love Gen4's LAHIRE model.
Also, Nineball and Hustler1 are an endlessly dangerous foe.
542773
Wonder Raid?
What about Nameless from the Gen-3 games?
553004
Lios Klein is the canon name for the AC1 player character.
Pink AC with reverse joint legs? Would I be right in guessing it's Sumika from Project Phantasma?
...But why would she under go Human PLUS alteration?
557055
He also happens to be the final boss in AC2. It's very depressing.
557292
I know.
AC Heroes aren't immune to turning to the dark side.
557318
Most of them aren't really heroes. Just really practical mercenaries. And it's implied that Klein was just really, really old and really, really depressed at the time of AC2. He was like 100 and the whole world was basically a s***can.
*Edit
557263
Many ravens went up for human plus. Nowhere near as bad as it got near the end of AC3, but there were still a lot of them during and after AC. It's not inconceivable that Sumika would've gone through on this.
557055
Really? I didn't know that. So Lios Klein was the character we played in the PS1 Armored Core series, right?
557766
Yup, according to many sources, Lios Klein is the player character for the first generation AC games, and the final boss of the first part of Gen2
If you guys are actually remembering specific AC's based on a description, that's amazing. I've played every AC but 5, and I can only remember the main enemies during the gamesdl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/shrug_Luna_apple.png

557776
The first Armored Core's name is what I assume is Ernst, AC name Phoenix. Same build from Master of Arena.
557263
Quasi-Reverse legs.
And to all, spoiler alert
Sumika didn't get the mods. Otherwise, she'd have an AC, not a Custom GP-AC
558444
Well, I was assuming that was one of the things you changed from canon. I don't recall that many relevant pink ACs in the first generations.
541828 I've seen that Luna icon multiple times. Did you pull the image from somewhere else, or is there a new emoticon section I'm not seeing?

iloveportalz0r made a custom script for Greasemonkey to give extra sets of emoticons. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Trixie_lolface_2.png dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/sillyfilly_Rainbow_Dash.png dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra.png

561350 Don't think I'm doing it right... Bah, I'll try again in the morning.
556950 I don't have experiance to compare them to, but Reyleonard and White Glint Models. There was also an assault rifle model in 4 that I loved (ignoring the fact that I played FA years before getting 4), but they nerfed in For Answer (can't remember what it's called, but I know it's an Algebra model in FA)
558444
Man, I want Stinger and Sumika to make a appearance. Those two characters are awesome!
Plus Stinger would make an excellent shadowy villian.
561716White Glint is awesome, but I gotta love breaking the sound barrier with Lahire.
561902
But we destroyed Phantasma...
And all this talk of newer Armored Core is getting pretty monotonous. Not once have I seen anything related to anything between Generation 1 and Generation 4
562059 I'm too new to the franchise to know anything about 1-3, so sorry about that.
561350 Got it!dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Derpy_Hooves_lolface.png
Why expend so much effort killing them with your blades Ravens? Kill them with your boost exhaust.
And I'm wondering how the AC managed to cut the griffon in half, the blade itself should be bigger than your average truck.
