"Ehh, let me get this baby to autopilot for a moment."
"By the way, I am curious why do you have this camera at the top of your plane for?" Jin asked as Cloudie was pushing a few buttons to ensure the autopilot mode was stable.
"Yeah, sometimes we used it to check if there is anything lodging on the top of the Helicarrier. As well as an excuse to look at the skies if our navigation is a bit screwed up. There are stars that can help locate where the North is."
"Lol, same as Earth. Anyways yes, point the camera upwards." Jin said and Cloudie did just as Jin commanded to see that there were no stars he could see above him. The New Moon was also making it particularly hard for the camera to view anything and he had no choice but to turn on night vision for the camera."
That was when he got the shock of his life.
"Since when? I did not notice this at all!" Cloudie asked and Jin was giggling.

"Wait, if they are doing this then…"
"The Bearling City's Air Force will have the shock of their lives," Jin said with a smile and Cloudie sighed.
"Welp, now I understand why you said that I only getting a single promotion to Captain."
"It's still a dangerous job though," Jin said and Cloudie shook his head.
"I feel that the Bearling's Air Force would be the only ones thinking that this flight is a dangerous one. Now I understand why you want to install those floodlights at the front of the helicarrier. You are one sick person when it comes to deception. And I also understand why you are making me travel so slowly, it's almost a chore to keep the helicarrier at this speed."
"Nah, it is not my idea, to be honest, I never really do anything that brilliant. Commander Eggshells was the one who thought of it because of the way the Radar works here." Jin said that he also knew that they did not have any satellites to track them, making it a double whammy that this plan could work.
"By the way, why do you think that they will bring their entire fleet out? Won't they see just one helicarrier and they will drop their guard?"
"It's reverse psychology. The General will feel something is amiss and decides to bring out everyone. So what if its an overkill? The moment I am dead or to the point I am captured, they win the challenge. Why bother with the subsequent combat? If I did bring a few 'companions 'with me, I believe he would act with tact knowing that some of his planes would be shot down."
"Oh…so when you shoot them down, he brings new ones out."
"By then, those 'companions' would have already depleted their ammunition and the enemy would have the upper advantage when it comes to dog fighting."
"Heh, you will know more later. If we survive. Perhaps, by then you could make up your own deduction." Jin smiled and waited for the action to unfold.
"Damn, now I am curious whether it's the top that will see the action first, or the stuff within the carrier that will do the honours. So much stuff that you have to sit the copilot seat."
"Hey, I thought I would be standing throughout the whole way. If I know that you are not bringing a copilot with you, I would have squeezed in another couple more."

"You don't have to worry about that," Jin said before speaking in his thoughts. "I have the System with me for that kind of purpose."
"Fox 1 to Command, Bogey is in sight but not in our airspace yet." One of the fighter jet leaders reported.
"Circle around the capital and let Fox 7 bring his team out into the airspace."
"Don't you think it is overkill?" Fox 1 said and Steele shook his head. It is very unusual for the challenger to come in a helicarrier and even more so without any companions. Steele had this gut feeling that Jin was hiding something and he was doing it at such a huge scale that it could give the leader of the Royal Guards an anxiety tummyache.
Fox 1 and his wingman eventually acknowledged the order and circled around the city while allowing Fox 7 and his wingman to emerge out of the airfield. Soon, 16 fighter jets were already out in the open and Jin was still taking his own sweet time to come into the battlefield. This gave another 4 more fighter jets to take to the skies and this was the entire fleet of fighter jets that Bearling Capital has at the moment.
Of course, the Empire Royals have more of these planes at their command but because the fight is situated at Bearling, only Bearling Troops were allowed to be used. Some of the cities surrounding it tried to suck up and wish to provide more of such planes to be under their command but the Queen refused. Why would she need so many fighter jets just to fight against a commander and his squad of 6 Mechanoids? That would be so ridiculous that it did not make any sense.
Not to mention, no other troops or allies are able to assist Jin and if they did so, the Queen would not hesitate to call this a foul and take it up to the Three Winged Angel's Masked Announcer. So as the twenty fighter jets continue to circle around Bearling, to wait for the Helicarrier to come in, Jin made Cloudie do a very ass move.
He turned back slowly and circled around as well, wasting as much time as he could before entering into Bearling's Airspace. When the War Room saw that happening, the tactical officers and the military leaders of the Royals could not believe their eyes.
