Chapter 1523 Flying 'Solo' -Part 1



This is definitely unexpected!" Page said as she drove the rocket plane with a joystick and peddle while having one free hand to fiddle with the controls at the side. The part that surprised her was the capabilities of this so called unfinished rocket plane that they were pushing to defeat the major fleet of aircraft that was coming closer to Mount Sunn with every second.

"I see you have activated the jamming systems." Old Fammet communicated through her radio. "I can hear the chaos that is broadcasting throughout the fleet and it's getting clearer and clearer the closer you are going towards them." 

"You built a jamming system inside this rocket plane?!" Page was not sure what to feel. Horrified perhaps? 

"It was meant to be an exploration aircraft before I had to hastily put missions and machineguns on that thing of beauty. And since I am part of Jin's ragtag group of militants, I thought it would be appropriate to use the Tactical System. Awfully easy that it kind of piss me off." Old Fammet replied as he stated that he too received upgrade cards from the Tactical System to upgrade his items. And much to his excitement, almost every item in his inventory was liable for such upgrades that he was beginning to suspect whether this was some sort of ploy to get him into Jin's debt even more. 

"Was that why instead of complaining much, you were going around the places to not just inspect but actually put new modules and stuff into every weapon and equipment so that they could be useful for the incomin- erm I meant the current invasion?" Lynn questioned

"When we have too few people, the only thing we can rely on is the equipment. There is no two ways about it. Otherwise, we would be in a losing battle right from the very start and we should just surrender the moment they came into sight."

"But we are not doing that, arent we? In fact, we might be winning right now." Page rebutted.

"We are winning right now." Lynn corrected her and the both of them smirked.

"To be honest, I was afraid that we are already on the losing side considering how overly overwhelm we are with the numbers they employ. That dungeon instance thingy Jin does is one heck of a revolution." Old Fammet ignored the two of them and went rumbling. 

"And this is merely just the start, we do not know whether we can last for the next few days considering the amount of material they are throwing at us." Page said before focusing on the enemy chatter a little more. Each of them have no idea that they were being tapped and also jammed considering them to panic for a moment.

But since Page was a Mechanoid who specialises in precision instrumentation (considering she is a Medic type War Maiden), her ability to discern and differentiate the various chatter allowed her to vaguely know the plans the enemies initially had for them. Not to mention the upgrades that were given to her by Old Fammet, it made her even more ...precise. 

As for Lynn, she was still getting the hang of the situation and even though she could not understand the chatter as well as Page, one thing was for sure. The way those fighter planes that were previously in formation started to move towards them had already indicated that they know this was not a missile but a manned aircraft. 

"I am going to bring you close to one of the bombers, infiltrate and provide assistance. There is no way this one plane can do much in a dogfight with so many enemies." Page said as she stepped on peddle to accelerate the rocket plane even faster, passing through the contingency of fighter jets in their way and getting the dogfight in the fragile space of their bomber formation. 

They would no doubt have to manoeuvre carefully considering there were friendlies around as their obstacles and this was what Page was aiming for. Since she was alone in the mass of enemies, she was free to do anything she wants and that included the hope to induce friendly fire upon the enemies. As they were approaching one of the bombers, their anti air guns stations began to point in her direction and she took evasive actions to ensure the plane's safety. 

Although a few bullets went through, it was thankfully nothing significant and this gave Page the determination to get to the blindspot of the plane which was at its cargo door. And this could not be possible without the help of the rocket plane's capabilities. She had no idea that the rocket plane had mini thrusters to perform 6 dimensions movement, thinking the plane was just a one way rocket booster. 

But when she thought about it, it was supposed to be designed as an exploration aircraft (A rather comprehensive one considering what Old Fammet had placed in it.) So traversing into the difficult sites would no doubt need high manoeuvrability and those thrusters provided such an option. 

Once they are at the underbelly of the bomber aircraft, their plane's glass roof retracted. Bouts of high intensity winds blew at them and without their helmets and seatbelts, they might have been blown away.

"Holy shit, I should not have agree to this plan!" Lynn complained as she used her mecha core generated chi to hold herself steady as she unbuckle her seatbelts.

Remember to use the injector vials I give you at the very last moment. Infecting too early might cause casualties! Also, hurry up!" Page said as the sensors on her radar began to beep violently.

"Then stop reminding me! Let me concentrate!" Lynn retorted as she took the opportunity to gather her chi and jump right up towards the bomber aircraft, creating a hole as she ripped through the metal with her strength.

This caused both the rocket plane and bomber aircraft to be unbalanced but it gave the rocket plane some push downwards, allowing Page to continue her game of tag with the other fighter planes.
