Number One Dungeon Supplier

Without a doubt, all the fighter jet pilots were pissed off by his behaviour. Surely, Jin was not in the wrong as the time to be in the particular city's airspace had not expired so the city could not complain. 

But what was wrong with it was that Jin had made the Helicarrier into some fucking disco ball of light. He started shining the flood lights he installed onto the helicarrier and it attracted a lot of attention. To make things even weirder, there was even a fog machine attached to the heli engines working overtime to spew mists around the area. 

"Can we shoot him down already?" was the consensus of the pilots who were wasting their fuel to deal with this crap. 

Steele was in an impasse. 

He wanted to get this done and over with and yet Jin was making this whole challenge as if it was some kind of sick joke that he wanted to play. Little did he know that as Jin was doing all those stupid flashing of lights, there were movements at the warehouse.

"Ready to lock on," Diaz said as she wiggled her arms a little. 

"Same." Click felt that it had been ages since she was back online,

"I got the furthest one in my sight," Tellie said as she was dying to get the first blood as a sniper.

"Just use the lock on feature, they are near enough." Page replied.

"This is a first for me. Even back in Jin's World, I never sat on a Fortress Golem before." Lynn said as she tried to get used to the controls.

"Lynn, you lock on first and the rest will follow suit. But be quick, the window is getting smaller." Yinn said to accommodate her but in no time, Lynn was able to do just that and the Mechanoids simultaneously had the targets too. 

Suddenly, at least half of the planes that were flying had detected lock on status on them and that startled them before they started to break away from the circling formation. Yet, that startle was more than enough time for the Mechanoids to send missiles flying towards them. 

"Where do they come from??!" The pilots shouted as they tried to shoot their flares to avoid the missiles but a few of those missiles had adjustment boosters that allowed them to turn around and aim at their target once more. At least 4 planes had been destroyed that way and they did not know where the missiles came from. 

To make things worse, Jin suddenly stopped all that flood lights flashing and asked Cloudie to move into the airspace immediately. At this moment, more lock ons happened and the planes did not know whether to protect themselves or destroy the helicarrier. 

Seeing how those missiles came from the back initially, they had decided to move upwards as a group but the chatters were immensely crowded with 16 over pilots' indecisiveness had forced the fleet to be not focused. This cost them their lives in this particular night battle as those missiles now came raining at them with even more missiles causing head on collisions to happen.

By the time the remaining pilots broke away from the fight, they were left with half while the Helicarrier continued its way into the airspace without any impediment. That was when the Grey Bear Mechanoids removed the shoulder missile launchers and switched them out for the artillery gun barrels. They quickly helped each other to load them and started firing at certain key locations as dictated by the System. 

With the Floating Sky Station, the video satellite feeds had given the System sufficient information on where to rain hell from. All the temporary equipment outposts were destroyed in the first wave of attack before they targeted stationary defence turrets which could be a menace to the Helicarrier. 

"What are all of you doing? Get the helicarrier down as soon as possible!" Steele said but none of the fighter jet pilots were responding and instead, all of their chatter was talking about dogfights. That was when the radar sweep happened again and the tactical officers reported that there were more than 30 over bogeys.

"How did that happen? Where did they come from? Why the other air defence stations did not catch it?" Steele did not know that Jin had purposely programmed the AI to fly vertically above the helicarrier at multiple intervals. Without pilots, the AI driven planes can be smaller in size, and the helicarrier can block their radar signal since Denise told them how their detection works and they reverse engineer a way to reduce the signal. Not to mention, the System was also helping to control AI planes so, however fast or slow or what kind of manoeuvres the planes did, the System was doing it in such a refined manner, that they could not detect it.

That was why the first barrage of missiles had to come from behind the planes and with the cover of night so that they had no idea where it came from at first. This confusion allowed the System who was controlling the AI planes to swoop down and clean up the rest. It was a 

"We have no idea, sir." The officers said as they remained helpless as pilots were systematically killed one by one. 

"Our air defence system is being targeted by bombardment as well!" One of the tactical officers said and Steele asked where it came from. 

"We are still evaluating the situation!" Little did they know that the 'construction' equipment were also covered with anti radar cloth which reduced the chance of being detected. Of course, the heat from their artillery barrel would eventually give them away but for now, they were safe and people would think that those 'Mechanoid Armour' were part of the fight against Jin. 

At the same time, when chaos ensued in the internal defences of Bearling, Jin had something even more sinister prepared. The Helicarrier might not be able to carry bombs but what Jin had stuffed inside that even mind boggled Cloudie was something that he could not think of. Perhaps, if Jin could really pull this off, he might be changing how fights could be done in the future.
