"Those Mecha Dragons…they are really here." One of the Bearling Military soldiers said as they were ushering the remaining citizens who were still in Bearling City to get out of the area. The citizens of Bearling saw the scene as well when those Mecha Dragons flew low into their city.
The roar that accompanied the huge mechanical bodies and the terrifying wing span caused the citizens to tremble in fear. They had no idea if any of them were to swoop down and eat them up. The Bearling Soldiers tried their best to keep the public as calm as they could but they were equally scared too not knowing and afraid that they might accidentally shoot at them.
The officers in the meantime tried to calm the public down, stating that there was still the city's barrier that was protecting the public from any harm. Unfortunately, that statement became null when one of the Mecha Dragons descended a tad too low and scratched the city's barrier causing even more panic among people that they stopped listening to the officers and started running amok.
This caught one of the Mecha Dragon's attention, causing it to be curious enough to start scratching the barrier even more before it started to follow the rest of the dragon horde that it came with. Apparently, they were more attracted to the smoke and fire that had happened at the front of Bearling Palace as it started to prowl around as if it owned the place.
The Royal Guards were in shock to see an entire horde of these Mecha Dragons walking around toppling the buildings, crushing every vehicle they saw and even throwing them around as if they were toys. There was even a duo who started to fight among each other until an even bigger Mecha Dragon yelled, forcing them to break up the quarrel between them.

As much as he wanted to chase after Jin, he trusted that Shai would be able to do that and it was imperative he solved this particular issue of the Mecha Dragons first before anything else.
After all, he saw how Jin acted and it did not look as if he was not out for blood. He would kill and yet he rather not since his main objective was after all the King and Queen of the Empire.
"Your Highness, Why are there Mecha Dragons in the city? They are scaring not just the citizens that are evacuating but also destroying the buildings whenever they please."
"They are there because you fail to stop Jin. Now get Jin out to the city centre and let the Mecha Dragons stop him, kill him and brutalise him for all the humiliation I had to suffer because of that kid!" Queen Thessalia said as she slammed the table to curse.
She did not realise how incompetent her assassins and guards could be just fighting one particular person. Sure, he might have killed the Great Reality Blender with just one Mechanoid. But so what? That does not prove anything. Surrounding the man with enough Mechanoids and soldiers, he would die from exhaustion or carelessness.
But now she had control of all the Mecha Dragons that she had ever built to be flown into Bearling Palace. As long as Jin had been flushed out of the Palace and into the city centre, he would not be able to ignore the Mecha Dragons.
"Huh, maybe I taunt him a little." The Queen said as she looked at the sight of those dragons walking around in boredom. Thus, Thessalia opened the communication channels throughout the entire Palace. "Jin. The Mecha Dragons are waiting for you. Come out to the city centre and put them down."
"Or else what? You will tell those dragons to kill your own citizens? I dare you to try there and see what would happen next to you." Jin proclaimed through the channel where each and every single soldier and Mechanoid in Bearling Palace heard it. At the same time, he was broadcasting the whole situation to Daimon's public broadcast. Denise noticed it immediately and forwarded the signal to every news outlet within the Empire and they were extremely eager to cover the challenge between Jin and the Empire Royals.
"Or else, we will tell people that you are a fraud. You cannot defeat those Mecha Dragons."
"Then what about those dead ones in Parry City? How are you going to formulate an excuse for that?" Besides, I do not get it. If you want to stop me, you should get the Mecha Dragons here first rather than asking me to come out when I am already running around in your Palace playing hide and seek with your Royal Assassins. Yikes!" Jin said as he dodged one of the knives thrown by Shai. It then exploded upon deflection but Jin was able to use the lightning flash step once more to put more distance away from the assassin so that he could trash talk the Queen.
"Fine. If it is that way, I shall get one of the dragons to scrap the land and spew fire into the basement, killing you with it as well."
"As well as your subjects who are working hard for you under the basement?"

"You know, I think you had been sitting on your high horse for too long that you had forgotten that you could be ousted," Jin said. "As the challenger to the crown, I hereby renew my pledge to put you down and take the throne for a better tomorrow."
"You do not have the capability." Queen Thessalia said as she chose one of the Mecha Fire Dragons and ordered it to dig the Bearling Palace's Garden. This was to follow through with her threat that she would kill Jin no matter the cost.
But the moment she attempted to control the Mecha Fire Dragon, it was not only ignoring her orders but their eyes seemed to glow as one of the Mecha Dragons started to roar loudly. "What is happening, why are they not listening?" The Queen asked the Rocketeer technician who was supposed to be troubleshooting the brand new device that she was holding to tame the Mecha Dragons.
"Erm with your permission, let me try to take a look." The Rocketeer Technician cursed as this was an extremely rushed product that the Queen demanded to be done within a day. It was not possible to combine all the control devices for each Mecha Dragon into one particular device and subsequent interface.
All they could do was to link all the control devices into one superuser device but that was the limit of what they were able to do in a day. Without consideration of what would happen if you put too many Mecha dragons in one city, they only abide by the Queen's whims and demands.
Never did they know, it would be one of the greatest disasters the Empire could suffer.
