"Did you two fight again?" asked Luna

The guardians gather in front of Aelithys , there is 6 guardian total but ''2'' of them are missing.

"Sorry" panting " i couldn't find Piertear and Marteya" Nat apologized.

The guardian that are present include.

Cynthia Luna who is dressed in a white and gold captain uniform , standing at 152 cm (5') and a slim waistline , pale skin with a m1911 on her right hip and a saber on her left hip , she is the general of the CRAF (Castellum Royal Airforce) and is the guardian of the I-3 B, airbase and the 7th castellum floor.

"Alright" Aelithys clap his hands " I asked you all to come here because our serounding seem to have change, so i want you three to dispatch scouts team around the Castellum Of Pantora, you are allowed to use the gate teleportation network and set the defence readiness to 1 "Aelithys explained "any questioned?" asked Aelithys.

"your majesty, all we have left is reserve vehicles" answered Tsunamina.

"they will do, now dismiss" Aelithys ordered as the three of them sets off to fulfill his command.

Aelithys turn around and Nat just stands there waiting for order.

"What am i suppose to do?" Asked Nat.

"Ummmmm.... defend the first floor?" answered Aelithys "I'm heading back to the palace."

"Alright" Nat saluted toward Aelithys cheerfully.

Suddenly flashy effects and circles appeared infront of Aelithys before a door appeared and he opens the door that seemingly appeared to connect to the garden.

"Also tell the me if there is anything interesting that they find" Aelithys said before entering the door, the door closes behind him and disappeared.

"Umm.. alright!" Nat complied.

Over at the airbase, Luna giving commands to her Units to prepare everything.

"Prepare all aircrafts for immediate response when given the command and prepare the all scout wings for reconnaissance mission" Luna commanded.

Each scout wings is made up of 60 aircrafts which includes 45 Goshawks FAL-1 which is a aircrafts that look like a Junker Ju 187 with extra weapons and twin tail wing and a 15 AL-1R Vulture that look like a C-146A wolfhound with a radar dish on top.

As each squadron took off Luna knew things were about to get messy.

Over at the O.W.W naval base people are running around preparing around 50 stubby looking ww2 patrol vessels that only span 24 meters in length and 10 meters wide and 22 meters tall and they are equip with what looks like the combinations of the German Mantis anti air guns and Americans Phalanx.

And over at the O.L.W military base Gaiara is commanding her troops to prepare the scouts vehicles which includes around 100 Meerkat-35s that look like Sd.Kfz. 247 with a shielded top turret that was equip with a 35 mm semi autocannon and 50 HTTT that are just Sd.Kfz. 251 but with a small shielded turret that is equip with a 15mm machine gun on top , it has a bigger flatbed that was shielded from all angles and is equip with a long range radio.

A scout squadron is flying over the Castellum, the view is that of west Finland with some bodies of water and a small village in the distance.

"Ah finally, the first time in years we finally get to deploy for the missions we were made for" pilot 1 in a Goshawk FAL-1 cheered.

"Yeah its been almost a decade" pilot 2 in another Goshawk FAL-1 added.

"Were going north east correct?" asked pilot 3 in a AL-1R Vulture.

"Yes were going north east" answered the navigator in the AL-1R Vulture.

As the plane continue to fly north east. There was a thick black smoke burning in the distant.

"Should we investigate it?" ask pilot 4 in a different Goshawk FAL-1 .

"that's our mission isn't it? to scout?" answered pilot 3 in AL-1R Vulture.

As the plane continue to fly south east co-pilot 3 used a binocular to see what's going on.

"What do you see?" asked pilot 3 .

"VUillage burning, people are being killed," answered co-pilot 3 "did we get permission to intervene?"

"We just got the permission to attack anyone who attack the Castellum point of interest and that village is one of them" answered the radio operator in the AL-1R Vulture.

--------------------------------------------------------------

A terrorist raises his gun, prepared to execute the girl in front of him while the village is burning around them.

The girl closes her eyes scared but ready to accept her fate... but it never came.

All she heard was a loud buzzing sound, as she open her eyes she sees the terrorist looking up into the sky , she look around and everybody is looking up, as she look up , she sees 5 silhouettes of what look like spears in the sky.

The terrorist started running back to their vehicles while others try to shooting up, thinking the silhouettes were wyverns.

As she continue to look up she felt like she was being watch , she look around but only sees the village burning and people panicking.

The girl, panicked and scared, curled up to protect herself.

When she look back up she sees the silhouettes turn toward the village and than she realize the silhouettes was watching her.

Suddenly 3 silhouettes dived toward the village with a fierce and loud roar before a massive explosion combusted near the beach, black smoke filled the village, as the building burning intensified from the wyvern fire, she could smell wood and flesh burning.

"Swishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... THUSH"

She stood up and immediately ran toward the coast and all she sees is ships and people burning in flame.

The buzzing sound started to get louder, and when she look behind her she sees 2 of those silhouettes that seem to chase after the 3 silhouettes.

She duck down, terrified as she hears the loud sound of the 2 weird looking wyverns.

"THTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHA..... THTHTHTHTHTHTHHTHAAA.... THTHTHTHTHTHA."

3 wyverns fall from the sky, but the buzzing didn't stop as it got louder before loud burst of sound erupted all around her, the sound of wood, flesh and sand flying and breaking.

"THTHTHTHTHHTHTHTHTTHHTHTHTHTHTHTHA"

--------------------------------------------------------------

Over at the land reconnaissance team.

"Sarg, we got a signal to check out a village 10km on our path" the radio operator reported.

"So we just continue north?" asked the Sargent.

"Does it look like we can continue anymore north?" asked the annoyed navigator.

"I'm just messing with ya" answered the Sargent.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Over at the west Gate that is located directly on the water surface, one of the patrol vessel called the CRS stubby. The Gate looks surreal as it sits unmoving on the water surface even without a ground that it can stand on.

"Captain! there is 3 ships south of our position" says the radar operator.

"Captain! we receive orders to investigates all vessels in a 80km radius of the castellum" the radio operator reported.

The captain looks at the rest of the crew "you heard him! full speed ahead!" he ordered.

Everybody rush to fulfill his command.

He looks toward the radio operator.

"any reports from the reconnaissance aircrafts?" he asked.

"No sir but the radio is blaring with panic, i think they are being attack?" the radio operator answered.

"CAPTAIN! there is a large unidentified object chasing after the reconnaissance aircrafts!" the radar operator shouted.

"Wha-"

"CAPTAIN! A GREAT WYVERN IS CHASING THE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFTS!" the lookout officer shouted from outside of the ship.

*Facepalms* "well what are you waiting for? GET THE MP MIRADAS ONLINE!"

--------------------------------------------------------------

"DIVE DIVE DIVE! TURN TURN TURN! INVASIVE MENUVERS QUICK" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" the radio blares with panic as the reconnaissance aircrafts tries to evade the massive wyvern that is chasing them.

The dragon has massive red scales their wings bigger then CRS stubby it looks like a typical great wyvern but its massive, its as big as the CRS stubby ship in length and as big as a cruiser in wingspan, their chest gigantic from all of the muscle that keep the dragon flying

The Goshawk FAL-1 tries to fight the great wyvern but they aren't equip with the correct equipment to handle such a massive creature as their bullets penetrates but the dragon barely flinch as if it was a giant airship in ww1 facing normal bullets, and high above the dragon there is someone that look like an angel that is spectating the chaos.

Back on the ship the MP Miradas that look like the combination of the top part of a phalanx and the main part of the Mantis air defense system, started aiming at the massive dragon before it fires a round of 90mm at the dragon with a fire rate of 300RPM.

"THA-THA-THA-THA-THA-THA-THA-THA-THA-THAD"

When the round impacted the dragon it screams in pain as black clouds consume the great wyvern, its wings get torn apart and burned by the clouds as multiple rods pierce through the dragon as it fell from the sky.

Over looking the chaos, an angel like person is spectating the battle.

"That's unfortunate" the person uttered.

The person has pure white halo, pale skin and white hair, her iris is yellowish color and her pupils are cat like, she stands at 155 cm (5'1) she has 2 seraphim like wings which are each 91cm in length (3 foot) she is holding a weird double edge scythe with 2 stars at the end of the pole and she is wearing old military clothes and a jacket.

Suddenly a stray shot from the MP mirada headed straight to her as she was in the line of fire she tries to block and there was an explosion where she was as she falls from the sky, her wings burnt.

Back at the ship a lookout officer reported to the captain.

"Captain! the 3 vessels south of our position are what looks to be Pirates!" the lookout officer reported.

"Captain! the reconnaissance planes are still trying to recover but they did report that the pirates ship up ahead are attacking a merchant ship!" the radio operator reported.

"2 pirates and a single merchant ship?" the captain ask.

"Sir yes sir" the lookout officer answered.

"Prepare the ship for a interception mission!" the captain commanded.
