Boom!~
Aside from Chen Fei, who was in a state of unity with the aircraft, no one heard the dull thud that occurred when a light-based spell shield enveloped Aircraft 211 and collided with an oncoming Pseudo-Dragon FA-143.
"Is that, a magic shield?"
The closest deputy squadron leader, "Devil Pepper" Irinei Rusios, muttered to herself in shock as she witnessed the light dissipating.
In battle, situations change in the blink of an eye and even the most experienced pilots can't prevent accidents from happening.
What happens, happens; such is fate, and one must accept it!
"Magic shield?"
The eyes of "Sauerkraut" Tempun Schneider, seated in the rear of Aircraft 212, went wide.
"'Sauerkraut,' snap out of it!"
Sitting in the front, "Devil Pepper" Irinei Rusios noticed the fire control operator's confusion and quickly urged him on while firing a missile that forced an opportunistic mutant to retreat.
The missile followed, and the Pseudo-Dragon FA-143, nearly incapable of handling combat bombs, relied almost entirely on instinct and the maneuvering advantage of flapping its wings.
Boom!~

The fireball exploded, and the Pseudo-Dragon FA-143, unable to escape, was engulfed in flames and shattered as it fell to the ground.
"'Peanut Butter,' go ahead and ram them; 'Rookie' is a metal elemental psychic, and with him there, Aircraft 211 is not as fragile as you think, not to mention Xiao Jiu is here as well, did you see? That was a light-based magic shield just now."
The insightful "Devil Pepper" Irinei Rusios immediately reminded Squadron Leader Chekhov of their current advantages.
Metal Ability User + Light-element Magical Beast, a double insurance; isn't that just a flying tank?
"Ah?"
Chekhov looked baffled, unaware of such slick maneuvers.
"So, charge! Big Bear!"
Chen Fei patted the back of the front seat.
"I am not Big Bear."
Big Bear stubbornly insisted.
"Peanut Butter" was a traditional call sign, but almost everyone felt "Big Bear" suited him better, bulky and bear-like, practically a living bear in human form.
"Chirp!"
Little Bird chirped gleefully amidst the chaos.@@@@
"Devil Pepper" Irinei Rusios reminded again, "There aren't many mutants left, end the battle quickly!"
"Got it!" Chekhov responded gruffly.
As Big Bear's fire control operator, Chen Fei knew that Bear would surely receive a lecture later.
Fire Serpents crisscrossed the sky as hunter and prey repeatedly switched roles. Overall, "Genuine Fragrance" squadron firmly maintained the upper hand; however, underestimating the opponent could still lead to those knockoff dragons making a deadly comeback.
Despite having the protection of Chen Fei, a metal ability user, and Xiao Jiu, a Pure Light Sparrow, Chekhov was still cautious and maintained a careful distance from his counterpart during the close combat.
Outside were frenzied mutants itching to shred the 211 craft to pieces. Ejecting now would be like sheep walking into the lion's den, ready to be devoured in one bite, quickly becoming "Here you go (poop)."
If they could break free from the mutant's encirclement before ejecting, perhaps there would still be a chance for survival.
"Got! It!"
Chen Fei was still not alarmed, his expression unchanged, despite the big bear's constant cries and yells.
Let's go!
The 211 craft suddenly pitched up, climbing vertically.
"Ah ah ah! It's out of control!"
Chekhov's tenor rivalled the "breaking of tiles."
Above them, a Pseudo-Dragon FA-143 couldn't dodge in time and was hit directly, the cockpit canopy completely smothered in blood.
Yet the 211 craft, undeterred, turned into a skyrocket, continuing its ascent with undiminished speed.
After a massive air disaster scene, this thing truly started defying science.
"Gravity adjustment module, 5%"
The current thrust-to-weight ratio of the PT6A series engine... something, smash the calculator.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
Chekhov's lung capacity was indeed impressive, still going strong after a minute without pause.
Inside the communications channel, silence prevailed.
Chen Fei casually pressed a button, and the 211 craft dropped an "egg."
A 500-pound bomb detached from the fuselage's center mount, shot upwards about ten meters, then began descending.
The desperate Pseudo-Dragons FA-143 flapped their wings energetically, doggedly pursuing from below. One of them opened its mouth wide... the bomb went straight down its throat.
Burp!~
The mutant let out a satisfied belch.
In the next second, violent flames burst from its body, instantly engulfing all its companions.
High-altitude air currents swept away the blood stuck on the cockpit canopy and aircraft's surface. The triple-coating didn't allow the sticky stuff to remain.
On the ground, a Pseudo-Dragon FA-143 with a broken wing powerlessly fell from the sky, landing heavily, twitched its neck, its cries growing fainter.
Boom!~
A thick Electric Dragon flashed inside the dark clouds, spreading out over thousands of meters and forming a bizarre, intricate tree-shaped pattern.
Pea-sized muddy raindrops began to fall massively from the sky; the storm arrived, shrouding the world in a curtain of rain.
As the 211 aircraft continued its vertical climb before reaching the dense rain clouds, it gracefully leveled out, descending gently in a spiral trajectory as the "Genuine Fragrance" squadron's "Big Mouth Monsters," one after the other, followed, reforming into an oblique line formation.
"What just happened?"
With his heart pounding like a wild boar on a rampage, Squadron Leader Chekhov Big Bear gasped heavily. He had lost control of the 211 aircraft completely, letting go and allowing the craft to maintain a spiraling descent.
Without guessing, it was clear, this was no miracle; the "Rookie" behind him was operating this "Big Mouth Monster".
