Heads up, my last idea was scrapped, working on a new one, to understand this, read my OC story, you can do so on tumblr, my name is also titanfallcool. To sum it up he is an ex IMC pilot who was in the 6-4 for 3 years but decided to go on his own as a freelance pilot.This takes place in the years he is a freelance pilot.

I know what you're wondering, what's in the canister?-Big Smonk

Ethan entered the hangar and headed towards the drop ship. It had been years since he'd last worked with the 6-4. He arrived and saw multiple pilots, among them were Gates, Droz, Davis, and Bear. Davis yelled "Yo E, long time no see!" He replied "Nice to see you to Davis, how ya been?" Davis put his arm around his shoulder and said "Probably better than you." Droz pulled Davis back and said "We'll, you've changed." He actually had, the last time he had seen them he had a 6-4 colored uniform and helmet, now his uniform had been painted black as was his helmet. He nodded and said "We'll, change is good, at least I tried something new, you haven't changed one bit." Droz chuckled to himself "Well I see you still have your sense of humor."Bear walked over to the pilots and said"Gates is ready for the mission briefing" "Nice to see you too."Ethan muttered and walked over to where the pilots where gathering. He saw the holotable where everyone was gathering and jogged over. "Okay listen up!" yelled Gates. "Our job is to take out defenses along the Trebuchet line the IMC has built along this area." She pointed to a position on the map the holotable was displaying. "We will have 10 teams, 5 pilots each." she continued. She gestured at 10 red dots that appeared on the Trebuchet line "Each team will have a designated target, once the defenses are down, we will rendezvous at this location and set up a camp." She finished by saying "This operation is crucial to the success of our securing of this area, if we fail, we will be completely stopped in our tracks halting the advance. Don't let this happen, we deploy in 1200 hours." Most pilots left to enjoy their free time before the operation leaving only the 6-4 members and Ethan. Davis went up to Gates and whispered something into her ear. She perked up and whispered back. Davis pointed at Ethan and Gates ran over. "Hey, it's been a while." she said. He replied "Too long, too long." She punched his shoulder and said "Why'd you change your uniform?" He countered "Why wouldn't I? I wasn't in the 6-4 anymore, and my jobs weren't exactly made for flashy and colorful clothing." Gates suddenly hugged him and whispered in his ear "Glad to have you back, E." She walked away and sent a message to his datapad reading: Meet me in the cafeteria for lunch later. He smiled to himself and left the hangar to his quarters. On his bench laid his data-knife that he had been modifying, he was able to get the hack time down to 3 seconds and take over any specters in a 10 meter radius. He checked the time, 10:00. Lunch was served at 11:00-12:00. He suddenly felt dizzy and realized he hadn't slept very much since he had arrived a few days back. He had been too busy with modifying his titan and data-knife. He decided to take a quip nap and head to lunch at 11:30. He took off most of his gear and drifted to sleep.

He woke up at 11:30 to his alarm. He felt refreshed and ready to go. He made his way to the cafeteria and saw Gates waiting for him. He grabbed a lunch tray and sat down. She said "You're late." He replied "You didn't really specify a time ma'am." She took a bite of her food. She said "You don't have to call me ma'am you know." He pokes his food and replied "It's almost automatic now, all those years under you I guess." She took his pudding cup and asked "Can you be one of the squad leaders?" He leaned back and said "I guess I could, just this once." She smiled and stood up "I'll catch you later." Ethan watched her return her tray and walk away. He finished up and went to a sim-pod training room. He put in the usual simulation, he would start by himself and make his way through grunts and pilots. Then he would call in his titan and fight through enemy titans, Militia and IMC alike. He booted up the sim pod and went into the simulation. "Welcome back pilot, the simulation has been prepared." He picked up his fqvorite gun, the alternator and said "Thanks Doc, you ready?" He felt Doc in his head "Affirmative." He was placed in and saw a grunt squad. He ran at them shooting 3 of them while killing another 2 with a knife. He grappled ahead and killed another squad with a frag grenade. He saw a squad of specters and grunts moving up. They took cover and opened fire on him. He deployed a decoy and cloaked, flanking the enemies. He hacked most of the specters and let them kill the remaining grunts. He went through more squads until finally he reached the stage where he could deploy Doc. He deployed him and he heard the familiar sound of a titanfall. Doc landed crushing a titan under him. Ethan got in the cockpit and opened fire on enemy titans. He took all of them out with ease as usual. "Good work pilot, you were .02 seconds faster than last time." He exited the simulation and said "Well, it's something." He walked back to his quarters and took a shower. He got out and checked the time. Only 9:00 hours left until they deploy. He decided to sleep again as he figured he most likely wouldn't be able to for awhile.

When he woke up he saw a new message on his datapad. It said: Meet me at the hangar to meet your squad-Gates. He threw on his gear and ran down to the hangar. Gates yelled "E, over here!" He went over and saw 4 other pilots. They introduced themselves as Annie, Ryan, Alex, and "Juno". They did a few exercises and were prepped for the mission. When they finished, they only had 1 hour until deployment. He used that hour to prep his gear and titan. He finished up and was heading back to the hangar when he heard: All pilots participating in operation DLTA (destroy line Trebuchet assault) please report to the hangar immediately. He went to the hangar and met up with his squad. Their drop ship was Turkey-3. He heard Gates say over the comms "Mic check all squads report in." He then heard "Alpha team, ready. Bravo team, ready. His team was labeled Charlie he activated his voice coder and said Charlie team, ready. All the other teams reported in. Gates the said "All teams have reported in, operation DLTA is a go. All teams board dropships." Ethan sighed, he had a bad feeling but couldn't figure out why. Shrugging it off he climbed into the drop ship.
