About 12Km away from RECON 8

" Fire! Fire! Fire!" The Elite in command of recon team 7 yelled as all three vehicles drove off.

" Firing" A soldier said as she aimed the railgun and fired, Its 12cm long titanium rod finding its mark on the scales of the massive bright red dragon that was chasing the team. The round pierced its scales but barely did anything to slow down the dragon flying behind the unit.

It was 120meters long and easily had a wingspan of 122 meters. It breathed fire at the lead APC but the APC's blue shield panel activated moments before the flames touched with the exterior. The dragon then shifted its gaze to the team's logistics truck. The Logistics Truck had no shield in fact it used ancient diesel engine.

" Damn Its going for the logistics truck!" The soldier with the railgun shouted

" Someone stop it!" Another soldier shouted.

" Where's air support when you need it?"

The second APC turned its 4X4 rocket turret to the dragon and launched all of 16 its 80mm rockets at the dragon in rapid succession most of which missed but a few blew up on the dragon's face but caused little to no damage. The dragon opened its mouth an orange glow forming inside its throat, It was about to breath firs then suddenly an Air to Air missile speeding at Mach 4 impaled the dragon and exploded inside its flesh causing the dragon to scream in pain.

In the air the Shadow Strike drone fired two more missiles from its missile bays, both impaled the dragon before exploding causing massive portions of the dragon's body. The dragon tried to fly away but the drone gave chase after it.

Recon team 8's position.

The three vehicles were driving when suddenly the dragon flew overhead.

Sam screamed: " Holy shoo its bigger than an Orion Cargo."

Zhang looked on in horror at the massive dragon flying away as the drone chasing it fired two more missiles from its missile bay. He looked to Adam who was also terrified of the massive flying lizard and said: " Theses your fantasy."

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

The missiles hit the dragon and exploded and caused more massive wounds. The drone fired more missiles but the dragon latterly did a J-Turn causing the missiles to mid but both missiles stopped in the air, turned to face the dragon and sped up till Mach 5 then slammed into its body.

Back in the command center the drone pilot said: " Damn how much can this lizard take? Switching to the AGMs."

The drone fired all 24 air to ground missiles from its 2X2 AGM missile pods. They all flew towards the massive wounds exploding on contact making massive bloody explosions. The drogon roared ne last time before falling onto the ground dying on impact. The drone then fired 10 AA(air to air) missiles on the body just to make sure it was dead and then returned to base.

The dragon's body barely resembled what it once was. Its head half missing, both of its legs were mere fleshy bones. Its arm was hanging by a few meaty strands. Half of its tail was missing and a puddle of blood the size of a small lake was forming. Its intestines spilled out of a massive gash on its stomach.

Recon team 8's APCs parked a few meters from the carcass. Dr Martain and Dr Sare looked at grey who just smiled in return.

Zhang: " Whew did you saw how much missiles it took to kill that thing?"

Adam: " More than 30."

Grey walked upto the corpse and pulled out his combat knife. He tried to jab at the bright red scales but his knife shattered upon contact. He pulled out his second knife which was a mono-edged vibrating riftum knife and tried cutting it. It took him more than a minute of cutting to get a scale sample.

Grey: " What are these scales even made of? Graphene?"

He took a few pieces and gave them to the scientists.

Capital Building, Brussels.

15 minutes later

President Alixander was reading a summarized report of the Dragon Incident with General Ismailov standing besides him.

the report said the following.

During the second day of recon missions around Fort Zhànshìyǎn nearly 60Km away from the fort Recon Team encountered what we are no designating a New World Airborn Type B Kaiju because there are satellite reports of possibly larger ones which we've designated as Class A Kaiju. The class B kaiju had reptilian scales covering its body each the size of a palm leave and from our field scientist's reports each scale has a material hardness 3 times harder than diamond. 80mm rockets were ineffective. AA missiles speeding at Mach 4 or above can slip through the gaps between the scales and into the soft hide tissue. Railgun rounds were effective.

We recommend the mass production of the Beoulf Sigard class Railgun rifle to effectively combat any other threats like the Airborn Type B Kaiju..

---Signed The Department of Science and The Department of Research and Development.

President Alixander looked toward Ismailov and said: " Dragons? What next? Horrors of the Deep? Demonic beasts?" then he sighed.

Ismailov turned to Alixander and said: " Sir don't stress yourself too much."

President simply sighed again before saying: " You are right but how can I not worry if creatures bigger than an Orion Gunship who can breath fire are flying around?" as he reached out to his phone and dialed the department of Technological Development's number and placed the order for the construction of 10,000 units of Beoulf Sigard Railguns.
