"In the northeastern part of Midway Atoll
Explosions can be heard in succession as the warheads strike and eliminate enemies one by one.
The sky is filled with enemy anti-aircraft gun bullets, but no matter what they do, they can't touch a single rocket that mysteriously moves on its own and evades their attacks.
"Oh! sister, more rockets are approaching!" Scavenger MK1 exclaimed.
"We... We're finished," Scavenger MK2 whispered.
The queen-class carrier and some remaining knight-class vessels managed to deploy their jets into the air as per Scavenger MK2's orders to maintain defense against the aerial assault. However, even with the air force in action, they are unable to protect the vulnerable fleet. There are still 47 more of those airborne warheads flying at hyper subsonic speeds, and with no defense against them, the alien ships' destruction is inevitable. Not even their jets can shield them from these warheads.
"Still unable to reach the main fleet?" Scavenger MK1 questioned.
"No," Scavenger MK2 replied.
"Huh?" Scavenger MK1
Boom boom boom
(3 more destroyers have been sunk)
"Why... Why can't we reach them?" Scavenger MK1 asked, sweating profusely.
"Our enemies have the ability to jam our long-range communications, leaving us helpless," Scavenger MK2 said
"What about the headquarters?" Scavenger MK1
"There has been no communication as of yet, but by following this route, we can expect support and assistance from our primary fleet," noted Scavenger MK2, gesturing towards the Southwest.
Sirens wailed as anti-aircraft guns continued to fire at the rapid, zigzagging rockets soaring from left to right.
The sound of explosions echoed through the air. Two knights were eliminated, along with one pawn and one bishop.
The main fleet of sirens was positioned 130km to the southwest of the vanguard fleet.
"Vanguard force, Vanguard force, please respond," called out Strategist MK2 as the radio crackled with static.
Efforts to reach the vanguard Carrier strike group by the main fleet were unsuccessful.
"Have you heard anything about the vanguard force?" Observer alpha inquired
"We still haven't received any updates, but we detected a strong electromagnetic pulse in their vicinity. Given our advanced communication technology and proximity, we should have been in contact with the vanguard fleet by now," Peace breaker MK2 stated
"All of us have noticed this unusual electromagnetic interference with a distinct pulsing pattern. It seems to be artificial rather than natural," the observers remarked
"Should we go check on them? They might already be engaged in battle with an enemy," Purifier chirped
"Peace breaker MK2 and Strategist MK2!" Observer alpha called
"Yes, Fleet Commander?" Peace breaker MK2 responded
"Instruct our aviation units to deploy all jets, provide aerial support to our allies, and offer protection. Strategist MK2 and Purifier will head straight to the vanguard force's last known location," Observer alpha ordered
"Understood, Commander," responded Strategist MK2 and Peace breaker MK2
"Yahoo!! It's time for battle.... Hehehe," Purifier cackled excitedly
"So, what about you? Are you not joining us?" Purifier tilted her head and asked Observer alpha
"I will monitor from a safe distance, observing our 'new enemies' and their capabilities. If the situation turns unfavorable, I will call for backup. Purifier, I want you to launch a full-on offensive against our new foes, okay?" Observer alpha explained
"Got it!" Purifier smiled enthusiastically, agreeing to the plan.
The primary fleet significantly outnumbers the vanguard force, with the vanguard fleet consisting of 50 ships while the main fleet boasts 80. The main fleet includes 8 carriers, 20 destroyers, 15 cruisers, 15 battle cruisers, 20 battleships, 2 lower-ranking executor class Sirens battleship Peace Breaker MK2, aircraft carrier Strategist MK2, and 2 high-ranking Elite Sirens as their flagship Purifier and Observer Alpha.

All aviation units launched their air units and flew in a disorganized formation. If a man stood on one of those carriers and looked skyward, he would witness hundreds of alien jets flying towards the northeast.
Meanwhile, the vanguard fleet faced imminent annihilation.
"Huff... huff... ugh, Sister, we've already lost 95% of our forces," Scavenger MK1, severely damaged, knelt.
"Ugh... don't worry... huff, huff... we just sail towards east," Scavenger MK2, also badly damaged like her sister, assured.
Despite their jets still in the air, the vanguard force had lost 95% of their strength, unable to defend against unseen attackers appearing in the northwest. Sending half their air force to counter the threats resulted in no returns.
Remaining vanguard ships:
- Queen-class carriers: 0
- Rook-class battleships: 1 badly damaged, with 2 of its 3 main batteries destroyed
- Knight-class battle cruisers: 2 severely damaged but still operational
- Bishop-class light cruisers: 0
- Pawn-class destroyers: 1 undamaged and operational
- Jets remaining: 24 flying
Some fleeting moments later
The lead force spotted sixty incoming objects which are moving slower than before, arranged in a triangular formation of 3 by 3.
"Enemy aircraft squadrons detected!" Scavenger MK2
"No... No more... Please" Scavenger MK1
Both of them looked back in terror, covered in cold sweat.
Meanwhile, in the sky
"Archer, we've detected multiple alien crafts with Gold Arrow" Gold squad
"Gold Arrow, this is Archer, take down those aircrafts" USS Ford
Another group of fighters then attacked the remaining mass-produced Siren warships.
"Sniper, we've successfully taken down their warships but two are remaining" Silver squad
"Two kids?" USS Roosevelt
"Sniper to Silver, all attack aircrafts return except for the Silver jamming squad, support the Gold squad" USS Ford
After giving orders to the air squadrons, most of the Silver team returned to conserve guided weaponry, leaving only the jammer fighter aircraft.
"Gold leader, all planes prepare to attack on my command" Gold leader
(The target locking system activates inside the cockpit)
F-35's from the front group open their hatches and launch AA missiles at the remaining Siren aircrafts.
"Target locked, fire at will" Gold leader
*Sounds of missiles launching*
The Siren jets attempt to flee towards their enemy air fighters but-
Boom boom........ Boom boom boom..... BOOM BOOM
Five Siren jets were destroyed in front.
"More of those strange black rods incoming, sister" Scavenger MK1
"We... We're going to die here" Scavenger MK2
"I wish... This was just a dream" Scavenger MK1
As they feared the oncoming missiles, they witnessed a power unimaginable, watching in awe as their enemies were obliterated before their eyes, leaving them paralyzed by fear. The E2D Naval AWACS flying high above observed everything.
"Eagle one, Crystal base, enemies air squadron annihilated, over" E2D Naval AWACS
Back at Jason's fleet, aboard the warship Selesia
"Copy, Eagle one, keep watch over the surroundings" USS Selesia
"Roger" AWACS Jason observed the enemy's destruction unfold on the large screen in the command control room through AWACS surveillance.
"These foes... mere child's play," Jason remarked while monitoring the live feed.
Suddenly, something caught his attention amidst the wreckage of the burning enemy ships.
"Selesia!!" Jason called out.
"Yes, my Marshall?" Selesia responded.
"Please, enhance the video," Jason requested.
"Yes, my Marshall," Selesia complied.
The footage was magnified to four times its original size.
"A bit more," Jason instructed.
It was then enlarged to 8.5 times, revealing two young white-haired girls embracing each other in tears.
"(!!!!... Who are these mysterious ship girls?) Selesia!! Order all ships to advance quickly towards the enemy," Jason commanded.
"Ah Marshall what you're doing is risky. They might shoot at us with their weapons. They displayed similar blaster and laser weapons 15 minutes ago. Selesia was anxious about the safety of her fleet and Jason.
"Don't worry, our force field is impenetrable, and their firepower is no match for us. I can easily block them with my powers. I know you're concerned, but trust me," Jason reassured Selesia with a smile.
Selesia blushed and expressed relief, "Okay Marshall, hearing those words eases my worries."
"May I borrow your helicopters?" Jason requested.
"As you wish... Wait, are you facing those kids, sir?" Selesia asked.
"Yes, but don't worry. They can't defeat me, and they're afraid of us because of what we did earlier," Jason replied confidently.
Selesia sighed as Jason headed towards the hangar and boarded the AH-2S helicopter. As he prepared to take off, Selesia granted permission and wished him luck.
"Don't worry, luck is on my side," Jason responded with a smile.
"Marshall, would you like an escort force?" Selesia inquired.
"Yes, I'd like a small escort," Jason confirmed.
Flying with another two AH-2A Shocker helicopters and a Missile guided cruiser Arleigh Burke, Jason was supported from the sky and sea.
"We've got your back, Marshall," the Arleigh Burke reassured over the radio.
Meanwhile, the almost defeated Siren vanguard force witnessed the unprecedented speed and maneuverability of the F-35S aircraft.
"What... are those aircraft? It's impossible for them to exist in this world!" Scavenger MK1 was shocked because of its speed and maneuverability that surpasses their aircrafts
"We may die if we continue. Surrender is our only option if we want to live," Scavenger MK2 reasoned.
As the enemy aircraft retreated, they've heard an unfamiliar sound, and it sounded like something was being bated in the skies
[Batabatabatabata]
and a new aircraft with rotor blades appeared, intensifying the scavengers' unease.
"Sister, what is that thing?" Scavenger MK1 pointed at the unfamiliar aircraft.
The arrival of a grey ship and accompanying helicopters led to the scavenger fleet ceasing fire and surrendering, as they felt the forceful air from the helicopters. Jason's attempt to communicate was interrupted by the scavengers' surrender declaration.
The Executor Class Scavenger sisters witnessed an unforgettable sight: 3 peculiar aircraft with rotors on top, accompanied by 3 gray colored ships.
Jason activated the aircraft's autopilot and leaped into the sea, shocking the Scavenger sisters as they watched a human plunge from a great height and stand dry on the water's surface. Little did they know, Jason was a rare hybrid of mage and metahuman in the old world, capable of utilizing magic elemental skills and metahuman abilities.
In the world, there are four types of people with powers. MetaHumans can manipulate lightning, telekinesis, explosions, laws, and nature. Cultivators enhance their inner powers through martial arts and live longer. Beast Morphers can harness animal powers and transform into human-animal hybrids. Mages can perform a variety of magical skills.
Jason, a unique hybrid, can skillfully utilize various abilities:
Mages skills:
Requip and Equip Magic
Air
Earth
Water
Fire
Light
Metahumans skills:
Gravity
Lightning
Magnetism
Upon landing, Jason revealed a gravity field surrounding him, causing him to float and remain dry. As he approached the Scavenger sisters, they surrendered in fear. Although initially hesitant, the sisters pledged their allegiance to Jason in exchange for safety.
"We... we're surrendering!" Both scavengers exclaimed.
Jason accepted their surrender but insisted on interrogating them, promising no harm if they swore loyalty. Overwhelmed, the sisters agreed to join forces with Jason, knowing that survival in this world meant sticking together.
Scavenger sisters knelt down, bowing their heads in deference to the new, unfamiliar presence approaching. When they looked up, they beheld a striking human man in a pristine white admiral uniform.
'This man is handsome *blushes* Perhaps it is wise to submit to him and his authoritative attire, as he may be the admiral of our unknown foes,' thought scavenger MK2, feeling captivated by Jason's charisma, ranking an impressive 8 in his unchanging stat.
As Jason extended his hand towards them, he reassured, "Please rise. I mean you no harm, only seeking your loyal allegiance"
"We swear our loyalty to you, our esteemed commander,"' declared scavenger MK2, gazing at Jason with awe and trust as she took his hand.
The outcome of the battle for the Scavengers was unprecedented, with swift and unseen attacks leaving their foes bewildered. Earth's first and second dimensions displayed remarkable adaptability to this warfare, employing missiles to obliterate targets and create confusion.
