"Are You Not Entertained? Are You Not Entertained? Is This Not Why You Are Here?"

<(Omniscient POV)>
"Hey guys, can you hear that sound? What is that? Sounds like a jet... and it's getting closer." One of the guys who had just thrown a grenade toward the house they were attacking muttered to the person beside him. "Wait, don't tell me that the military has deployed their jets against us!" He panicked, looking around in alarm to try and search for a place to hide in case his fear came true and military jets decided to rain hell on them.
"The fuck are you talking about, coward? Do you, stupid motherfucker really think that the military has a budget big enough to send jets to eliminate a small group like ours and that too within just a few moments of our attack? God, I can't deal with these stupid temp workers." The person who seemed to be the leader and was giving the orders earlier spewed out in anger. There was a clear irritation in his voice as he yelled with contempt at his subordinates. "Look above, do you see any jet approaching us? The sky is as clear as your empty brain. Now hurry the fuck up and bring me those women, so that all of us can go home." He shouted out.
The moment he was done shouting, several of the terrorists who were standing close to him and listening in to his words agreed with his words and subconsciously looked up on their own. However, contrary to what they just heard and what they were expecting themselves, a projectile rapidly flying in their direction was clearly visible in the sky. They didn't know what it was since it seemed too small to be a jet but what they did know was that it was flying faster than anything else they had ever seen, as evident by the clear white trail left in its path.
"What is that?" The leader murmured to himself but unfortunately for him by the time he would be able to come to a conclusion about what it truly was, it would be too late.
Swoosh Swoosh Two smaller projectiles were suddenly released by the bigger flying silhouette and before anybody could even realize what was going to happen next, the two smaller projectiles came flying at the speed of sound, striking two of their jeeps in the back which contained their extra explosives stored as backup in case of an emergency, exploding in a violent explosion that directly wiped out more than half a dozen of their men with a resounding Kaboom.
The explosion forced all the terrorists to stop firing at the estate and instead crouch down to save themselves from the effects of the explosion.
"What is that? Shoot that down. It must be some kind of cutting-edge drone technology that the military has decided to use against us." The leader once again yelled with pure malice in his voice as he tried to take a peek at the object flying towards them again. But quite astonishingly, it was no longer there. Instead, there was the sudden sound of a resounding thud behind him like something heavy landing on a concrete floor that made almost every single hair in his body stand up with some unknown fear.
"I don't usually do this during the daytime, but I suppose desperate times call for desperate measures," said a rough voice, almost demonic in tone, emanating from the figure behind him. The terrorist leader was extremely startled. He quickly spun around in alarm only to find a tall, imposing figure clad in dark, monstrous, bat-like metal armor.
Raising his right arm, the nanobots on his wrist transformed into a single anti-tank missile aimed at the direction of the car. "Target locked" Cortana's voice informed Bruce before he fired the missile. The high-speed projectile flew toward the jeep and attached itself to it like a metal claw. Then a small beeping sound was heard before it became more and more intense, finally exploding the vehicle into countless pieces of red-hot metal and burnt flesh with a KABOOM sound, killing everyone inside the vehicle without exception.
"Well, seems I am done here. Cortana, scan the surroundings to see if I missed any terrorists or if any got inside the house." Bruce asked while staring at the half-destroyed home.
"Positive sir. Although the six-armed guards are still alive, one of them seems to be holding your aunt and her daughters at gunpoint, likely a mole or a traitor in the group. He seems to be the last active threat here." She informed me after switching the HUD's camera to X-ray vision. "That reminds me, you still haven't tested the wall-piercing ammunition rounds in the field before. Don't you think this is a good time for it, sir?"
"Excellent suggestion, Cortana. That's why you are my favorite AI ever..." I grinned inside my mask while ignoring her mutterings about her being the only AI I knew. "I just hope that my aunt and cousins aren't too scared of blood, and this doesn't traumatize them." I hoped aloud.
"Oh, it definitely will," Cortana responded with a flat voice.
