Artery Gear: Fusion, Episode 0 - Operation Meteor Shower

Author's Note
This is a fan-made story based on the world and characters of Artery Gear: Fusion. I've done my best to remain faithful to the canon, preserving the original tone, key events, and character dynamics.
Where the source material left space, I've added personal touches - new dialogue, scenes, and introspection - to deepen the emotional core of the narrative and honor the story as I believe it deserved.

This work was written by a fan, for fans. For those who still remember the mission, the music, the lengthy boss battles... and the characters who made this world unforgettable.
Thank you to the community that keeps Artery Gear alive in spirit, even after the servers were shut down, and especially WebSoul, for her assistance in gathering and organizing information about the world of Artery Gear. Your passion is the reason this story exists.

Future episodes will be published as separate volumes.

The Puppet War has torn Earth apart. Now, the Union flagship Autoland is under siege.

In a sky ablaze with fire and thunder, AG Captain Nio descends into chaos with the elite Autoluna Airborne Division. With the Commander missing and the mission on the brink of collapse, she leads a desperate assault to protect the ship - and evacuate the last hope of the Union.

Created to exterminate the Puppets, Nio must now fight for something more: the survival of her team, the weight of a promise left unspoken... and the faint belief that someone, somewhere, is still watching.

A meteor falls. A bond ignites. A reckoning begins.
