EIGHT
General Edward Kane, commander of the JGSDF is preparing to attack the creature. Four Type-10 tanks have been positioned 10 miles away ready to commence its barrage. Because the terrain limits the mobility of the tanks, ground troops in jeeps are also positioned as secondary defense. Staring at the sky General Kane can see four Mitsubishi F-2s circling the area. The Mitsubishi F-2 is Japan's new fighter jets, a joint development between Japan and the USA, and an updated design from the F-16 Agile Falcon. These Mitsu F-2 are equipped with 20 mm JM61A1 cannon, air to air missiles AIM-9 Sidewinder, air to ground missiles ASM-1, and free fall bombs fitted with JDAM tracking system. They are fitted with enough ammunition to destroy everything on contact.
He radios to communicate with the fighter jets.
"This is General Kane, over."
"Sky Fox 1 reporting Sir, Sky Fox 2 reporting Sir, Sky Fox 3 reporting Sir, and Sky Fox 4 reporting Sir," as all four pilots replies.
"Ground troops are positioned and ready for support. Hold the missiles ballistics unless critical, focus on your ammunitions and keep damage control on the creature only."
"Yes Sir, over and out," the four jets responds together.
The first assault comes from the four Mitsubishi F-2 jets as they blast their 20mm M61A1 cannon at the creature. Unfortunately, it responds by flying away before the bullet's impact. Dirt and grass sprays all over as the bullets puncture the ground. The fighter jets scatter surprised by the creatures' quick reflex. The creature suddenly swoops down and attacks the first set of jets. It bites into Sky Fox 1 as it explodes in its mouth. The bitter steel is not a taste it likes. The creature opens its mouth and spits out the remnants of the destroyed jet as it descends from the sky. The tanks suddenly blast at the creature since its low enough to the ground. Smoke filters around the creature and cascade around its body as it screeches in annoyance. The creature turns to the location of the tanks and bellows a loud screech. Suddenly a yellow ray beam materializes towards the first tank and the ground explodes into particles of dust. General Kane is speechless at the sight. This creature can create its own destructive beam. He orders a full frontal assault.
