"What is happening to those Mechanoids?" General Toba asked as suddenly soldiers were reporting that the Combat Mechanoids they had accompanied were shooting at them and to the extent of killing. 

"It seems they had been hacked, sir." One of the tactical officers said.

"Did the Diamondz Corp purposely add a secret kill switch? We now can have another card to play. And this will get Daimon in big trouble." General Toba smiled.

"No Sir. They were genuinely hacked. Their IFF codes had been removed and they are attacking everything and anything. And that includes the Investigation Squad that we had been chasing as well." The tactical officer also turned and pointed at the livestream which they were also viewing once they had access to it. (Which was an easy task since it was a public broadcast.)

"Damn it! And now that Jin is alive and breathing, this will be so much harder. We do not have many soldiers in the first place. Do what you can to bring the situation under control." General Toba grumbled and then the person behind him talked in a coarse voice.

"I told you so. Not to be a cheapo. This is what you get for trying to circumvent the system and backstabbing people from the back."

"Well, General Inus, you are actually the one who backstabbed us and allowed those Daimon people unlimited clearance of the airspace. And what has that gotten? Chains for you as you see your tactical officers all killed." General Toba smirked as he showed Inus the massacre his tactical officers did to retain control of the War Room. "You should be happy that you still have a role to play." 

"You fucking bastard. I hope that Jin will find you and kill you in the worst possible way." 

"Now now. By saying Jin, are you professing that you are in alliance with him?" Toba smiled giddily and Inus held his anger in as anything else he said would be implicated towards him. "Smart boy. To keep silent." 

At that point, the tactical officer shouted something that took Toba's attention and Inus was left with his own thoughts. He now understood why one of his trusted officers had sent him a cryptic hint before he disappeared for good. At first, Inus believed that he went into hiding but the more he saw the betrayal of General Toba, the more he thought that his trusted officer had already been killed. 

"The creation of the Mechanical Dragon...  Sir Peru Peru had been suspecting of General Toba for some time ever since the Mechanical Dragon emerged on his radar. Instead of trying to ask for help, especially from Daimon City who had shown they had the capability to stop two monster outbreaks, Toba guaranteed Milord that the Dragon was something that could be handled with the Armed Forces…" General Inus continued to backtrack what were the telling signs.

And when he thought about it, Toba kept insisting that the Air Force should not budge due to the terrain of the place where the Dragon was hiding. Inus kept saying that he could assist and Sir Peru Peru also was in support of the plan but Toba continued to say to keep this a secret. And said that any excess bombing would bring unwarranted eyes into the situation.

But the thing that kept Sir Peru Peru's interest was that Toba assured him he could capture the Dragon which they could use to replicate its design through reverse engineering or maybe even keep it as an emergency. Yet, what Sir Peru Peru really wanted was to have the corpse intact so that they could get to the bottom of it. Of why there was a Mechanical Dragon roaming around Parry City's territory.

"And if it's Daimon, we will surely make them pay." Sir Peru Peru was being objective but Inus believed that Toba took that as an inspiration to push all the blame on them. 

And that was what Toba had also done when Inus had been backstabbed. The moment General Inus gave word that Daimon had unlimited clearance of their airspace. Things started to move for Toba. His troops suddenly rushed in and pointed their guns at the Air Force Tactical Officers but fortunately for Inus, his officers were top notch in managing crisis and all Inus needed was to buy them some time. 

The Parry City's Air Force General did not care about his life and put himself in the front of the soldiers who were pointing their guns at his officers. In the meantime, the tactical officer whom Inus was protecting was one of his most trusted officers under the Air Force General. He hastily sent an emergency text to Sir Peru Peru whom he had contact with frequently warning him of the mutiny within the army ranks. 

And that precious time that Inus had bought for him was the reason why Sir Peru Peru was able to read the message and give Jin the powers of the Interim Leader to deal with the situation before he went into surgery. The only problem was that the Lord of Mount Sunn did not know of the details and development of such mutiny and assumed that Sir Peru Peru was merely responsible for his work. 

Yet even if Jin did not know of such truth, the Synthesis AI administration who had been keeping their hands away from this complicated problem knew that the Grey Bear Squad and Jin were already walking on the right path to get to the conclusion and the bottom of this matter. All they had to do was to struggle a little more.

But to say the struggle was kind of an understatement since even when Jin had managed to 'hack' and remove the IFF codes, the Parry City Military did what was expected of them. To shut them off completely with the kill code they were given. 

"A hundred metres more!" Yinn said in an attempt to motivate the rest as they were still being shot in all directions.
