Chapter 55 The F-22 R.A.P.T.O.R. incident

NMD1MU1: Edwards Air Force Base, California, USA February 10, 2012 11:00 am

"Four days of intense training is really hard…" Trixie commented as she is seen dragging a parachute on her back. She is seen with the other two dragging their parachute up. They are actually wearing a brand of G.S.U.I.T.S. that looks just like their ordinary clothes. Earlier, they trained using the D.O.G.F.L.I.E.R., which is unusually fast for a biplane, and was able to take down 10 out of 30 planes of the same time together with Timmy and Tootie. However, as the fight goes on, the planes can no longer bear the stresses and the billiard balls shot at them and they were shot down one by one. These fighters are also equipped with a new piece of KND technology now in application to future KND fighters: the C.O.C.K.P.I.T.

Cockpit Outstandingly Causes Kid Perfectly Intact Together

Sector inventor: V

This came to being thanks to #1 bringing a very special crash-proof material from the Galactic KND. #2 managed to built the prototype immediately and they are immediately tested in Sector R using all adult equipment at it proved to be very reliable. This cockpit material can survive even a nuclear explosion and is seemingly invincible. Now a basic requirement on future KND fighters, this helps protects kids from losing their young lives in any occasions due to adult tyranny and a step further towards the safety of air-to-air KND warfare tactics.

"Well, you look like very tired-aru." China said. "Remember that two days from now, you will be transferred to an Airbase in Arizona to be part of the Eastern Air Group of the UN Coalition Squadron."

"But what kind of plane are we going to use?" Trixie immediately asks. China leads them to a hanger guarded by KND and the KND opened the hanger door. What the three kids saw is something unbelievable.

"Wait, but we are not trained to fly those!" Timmy yelled, pointing at the 3 shiny F-22 Raptors in front of them. Immediately, they saw #2 fixing something inside the cockpit of one of the planes. #2 goes down while holding a wrench via a ladder and went to them saying "Actually, they are not F-22s to be exact. Rather, they are the 2x4 versions of it."

"WHAT?" Trixie said "How did you make a billion-dollar plane using your technology?"

"China, you are going to copy this, get out of here please." #2 said. China was led outside and the hanger's doors are closed. #2 then continued "Actually, this plane meets the requirements the countries requested, and more."

"And more?" Tootie said.

"Yes. Follow me…" #2 first leads them to the cockpit using a ladder and they noticed that it has a very same system used in the D.O.G.F.L.I.E.R. equipped with the new C.O.C.K.P.I.T. kid survival system.

"OK, but what's that wand-shape place holder there?" Trixie asks #2.

"Britain asked to add that on your planes. Currently, he is searching the Museum for the equipment to be added with it." #2 said.

Meanwhile…

"Great, now I'm searching old weapons in this magical junkyard…" Britain remarked. Actually, he is in a certain garden which also acts as a refuge for the displaced fairies of Fairy World when it was destroyed last week. This place is actually the dumpsite of all magical items found on earth, and occasionally, there are some other kinds of fairies visiting aside from the fairies with crowns…

"Mirmo, what you are finding is not here!" A Japanese teenage girl yelled.

"What is the prince of the Muglox fairies doing here?" Britain immediately asks.

"Alright…" Timmy said.

"Now, knock this wing..." #2 said. Timmy knocked the 'metal' wing and was remarked that…

"Wait, this is not metal at all! It's wood!"

"KND trademark is still part of this baby…" #2 remarked "The actual name of this tool is the F-22 Raptor Advanced Powerfully To Our Requirements."

"In short, F-22 R.A.P.T.O.R. Why does KND use that lousy system of naming?" Trixie immediately asks.

"Alright, let me explain this…" #2 said "…technically speaking, all KND flying vehicles bears amazing stealth characteristics and only the radar made by Father's cohorts are able to detect it. Too bad that we always prevent the world governments to acquire it. Actually, if the original F-22 Raptor has the radar signature as small as a steel marble, this baby has a signature equal to the ball used in ballpens!"

"Talk about wasting billion of dollars on something that KND could do better…" Tootie remarked.

"Aside from that, this baby's performance is equal to that of the S.C.A.M.P.E.R., which is already superior to all the adult-made fighter jets in all aspects!"

"Wow!" Timmy said.

"However, there is a limitation…" #2 said "…due to a compromise on KND designs, this baby can only survive up to -15 gs and +10, unlike the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. which is twice more capable of g-overloading."

"That is already way above that of the other planes!" Trixie remarked.

"Aside from that, we used some of our technology that defies physics and unlike the original one, this does not require the silly fly-by-wire, but rather uses several top-secret technologies to make it more stable in the air. This plane has no need of fuel and could actually be a unique KND tactical air-to-air bomber if all weapons bay would be equip with KND weapons instead. Speaking of that, let's go there!"

They went down of the area overlooking the cockpit and goes to the side weapons bay. #2 opened it using a remote and it was equipped with a dud AIM-9 Sidewinder. However, what Trixie noticed are 3 2 Liter soda bottles placed in front of the Sidewinder.

"You want some Soda?" #2 said while bringing one out.

"What's the use of that?" Trixie asks. #2 gulp from the soda and continued "Actually, they are the place of another KND marvel, the standard-grade S.O.D.A.P.O.P. air-to-air missiles. We use that in all our aircraft. Simply put a Menthos candy in a specially-formulated soda solution with a KND guidance system, and you have the cheapest missiles around!"

"Wait, you mean that soda also doubles as a missile?" Timmy remarked.

"Yep. Edible and safe to eat, but explodes when the menthos is added" #2 said while remarking that it is delicious.

"Alright…" Trixie said. #2 opened the weapons bay below the plane and aside from the dud AIM-120, there are more soda bottles behind it and…

"Cookies?" Tootie remarked. #2 gets one pack and offered them to the three. In turn, the three accepted.

"What's a KND 2x4 without food." #2 remarked while munching one cookie. "The only problem is a bathroom since that is not part of the design…"

"Alright…" Trixie said.

"Oh yeah, this plane is also capable of vertical take-off and landing and 3D thrust vectoring." #2 said while munching more cookies. Tootie noticed some dangling wires underneath the wings and asks "What are those wires for?"

"That's the attachment of some kind of apparatus." #2 said "It was shaped in accordance to the historical Hispanno cannon used in the Spitfire. Anyways, do you want to see the other features like the guns and countermeasures?"

"Yes!" The three remarked.

12:00 pm

After the tour and when the three leaves the hanger, Britain came in together with Jorgen disguised as a human plane mechanic.

"You're finally here." #2 said "You said that you will add the final parts, and I will watch you closely."

"Alright, Jorgen." Jorgen uses his big wand (which appeared magically) and a pile of 16 rusty metal objects with yellow stars on its tip appears.

"I'll contact Sectors M, R, CL2 and JA's 2x4 specialists for this installation." #2 said.

After 8 hours of grueling installation, the special F-22s have a very weird star-shape barrel outgrowth found in the middle of both the left and right wings.

"What are they?" Sector JA's 2x4 leader said.

"Don't worry about the stealth, they are magical objects anyway…" Britain said "…too bad the last two barrels can't be installed."

"But you only ordered three remember?" #2 said.

"Yes. Well, let's call it a day…"

9:00 pm

The adults and KND are guarding the door of the hanger on a shift. Sector V is nearby, with #1 telling several of his trips in Galactic Kids Next Door.

"But why are you here?" #5 immediately asks.

"Actually, I'm here to improve the technology used here locally and to recapture a top-secret GKND technology stolen by Dr. Hamsterviel: the C.O.P.I.E.R., short for Copies Objects Por Immediate Emergency Response." #1 replied "He and his jets are a very great menace along the whole universe, and they even destroyed the world of fairies recently…"

The adult guards and non-Sector V KND members spots someone in the shadows above the hanger. However, before they are able to respond, they are immediately knocked out by an electric shock. Sector V heard someone dropping and went towards the reaction. At that moment, they saw several ninjas beside the fainted adults and kids. Sector V brought out their weapons out. However, some kind of yellow beam hits them on the back, knocking them out cold.

"Alright, four days from now we are going to launch Operation Spacedust!" America yelled.

"I prefer it as Operation Stardust." Britain said.

"For me, Operation Sparkle is better…" France commented.

"Well, instead of being immature in this non-sense Operation naming, let's just discuss on when will the evacuation procedure will take effect and how are we going to partition our planes-aru." China said.

"Actually, based on my calculations during the last event…" Germany said "…the Darkness can only begin to consume something when it is at least 1000 meters above its target. However, I could also say that the Darkness has one huge blind spot, something that the Eliminators can act on to cover it up."

"Yes…" Britain said "… based on the records, the fairies tried to exploit that to their advantage but failed because of the numerous Eliminators. However, today, we have a very devastating weapon to…" At that moment, an explosion occurred on the hanger containing the top-secret 2x4 version of the F-22 Raptor. This explosion is enough to wake everyone inside the base.

Fire trucks immediately contained the fire and several KND agents went to ensure that none of the technology found inside the specialized jets are leaked to the outside world. Surprisingly, the planes are not damage thanks to a very special KND prototype shield.

"Wait, what's happening?" Timmy asks everyone while in his pajamas. He is together with Trixie and Tootie, both who are also wearing pajamas.

"Someone tried to sabotage the base-aru." China said. The military personal helped awaken the unconscious guards and the KND members assisted their agents. As the procedure goes, each of them will be interviewed. A soldier brought to the countries two DVDs of the CCTV cameras in the hanger and America called out China, the three wand wielders, #86 (KND Global Tactical Officer) and the commanding officer to watch.

"What do you think will the DVDs would show?" Trixie asks them.

"I don't know…" Britain said "I just have a very funny feeling on what it contains…"
