Escape! (Patreon)

Back to the TSF, Civilians begin making distance themselves from both the police and the TSF,

The concert that sings loudly nearby even stops playing as every single person who is currently present has their gaze upon both TSF and the police.

With a nervous glance at the numerous police surrounding us, I type numerous commands and make TSF hand closer to the gun that is strapped in TSF thigh holster which prom the police outside to use it's mic "Come out of that mech and surrender yourself!

What do I do... What do I do... Do I run away? or surrender myself to the authority?

Both choices are extremely bad. But I'll be damn let someone put me in prison!

Without any other choice, using one of the Missile containers on my shoulder, I fire many of them that contain smoke. As the missile launched to the ground, everyone showed a bit of surprise seeing the missile hitting the ground before smoke began to cover the entire ground.

As the smoke covers the whole area and people begin to cough left and right I use thermal imaging systems to see through the smoke while ordering for my Pilot who is on the ground <<This is your chance pilot Go!>>

All of the pilots on the ground begin making a run to the TSF as fast as possible

The police in panic begin firing their guns all over the place and at the Pilot's last spot. Holy shit they are firing!

As all of the Surface Pilots manage to return the TSF I ask << Status report!>>

They in rows of order said that all of them did not receive extensive damage other than some bruise here and there from running.

Once I check the well-being of my pilot I order the squad to lift off immediately, but the side effect of the smoke begins to clear out because of the burner from our TSF.

"They are escaping! Shoot it down!"

The police, Swat, and Sniper on the ground begin firing upon us.

But to my relief most of the shots did not do that much damage as they only hurt the paint job, I ordered the team to activate the Afterburner at full after lifting up in the air to escape faster from the conflict.

Once we were in the air all of us were about to activate the afterburner and we began making our way out of the battlefield when suddenly.
In front of my video, I saw a shell go by my face.

I was still loading what I saw, and I quickly gazed at the culprit and zoomed in to get myself a clear picture and saw rows after rows of tanks on the street aiming at us. One of the tanks was still smoking hot from shooting one of its weapons.

I was beyond horrified the moment I saw the tank and when I zoomed in closer I noticed the familiar logo beside it.

THE FUCKING JSDF?! Why would they be here? And why are they firing in the middle of the city are they sane?!

I did not even have time to check on how the stream was going as I began evasive maneuvers. But I did not consider the end of the shot as one of the shells arrived at one of the civilian buildings causing explosives.

The house... it was fucking burning, and the people all around were running around in panic.

God... Are these people serious? Firing shells on the street is a war crime... But I have no time to be standing here doing nothing.

<<Evasive manovers!>> I order my team

<<Roger!>>

And all of us begin to split up among the skies, trying to avoid the tank round while trying to escape as fast as possible.

After barely avoiding some of the shells firing at us, I could barely contain my happiness when finally dodging the tank shell that almost hit us, we were closing on the beach and soon heading to the ocean where no military vehicles could stop us and could finally escape

When suddenly my warning system blared with red color around my cockpit with [Missle Alert].

In instinct, I am immediately forced to land the TSF using its feet to reduce the speed. As the trusted face the skies the TSF forcefully lands to the ground and I grit my teeth, following suit by the other TSF behind me who follow my example as well.

While I was trying to slow down the TSF speed using the TSF feet, It caused several collateral damage as many cars were damaged and even flew as we tried to stop our TSF speed anyways we could.

After we managed to completely stop, I sighed a relief before peeking back and seeing some of the roads were damaged even several traffic lights and public usage completely wrecked.

Hopefully, they won't ask me to pay for that damage. But my attention was soon shifted the moment a transmission came in.

<<Captain the sonar radar is detecting tanks, AA vehicles, and armor vehicles all around the city. We are surrounded!>>

I was sweating as hell, what he said was true. My radar as well was detecting several vehicles beginning to close on our position. It's already obvious that it is mostly our enemy when I manage to peek its color green from the distance.

Just who the fuck is these people to get the entire JSDF involve? The only one I can think of who can move the JSDF is the prime Minister. But no way he is that stupid to mobilize the JSDF in the middle of the Capital City.

And the worst part is if run now, either all of us get shot down with us showing our back. Or if we stay here like sitting ducks we will blow to a piece by a tank round!

Just what the hell is the JSDF thinking?!

<<The police are closing in! They will arrive in a 1-minute, order Captain?>> Takeru sounded like he was desperate from how his face sweating as well.

Guh... Staying here longer means our survivability decreases. But the only way to get out of the encirclement is if I destroyed all combatants..

In other words, I am going to fight the Japanese military.

Is fighting the only way out of this? In the middle of Tokyo where civilians are in the way?

<<S-sir? > Hayase's voice was like she was scared of this situation as well.

After taking a deep breath, I calmed my mind and finally made up my mind.

..I won't let myself be captured. I won't let myself be killed just because someone wants to.

I will survive. No matter what it takes.

<<All Valkries team eliminate all ground force! >> I roar to the team.

<<Avoid civilian casualties.. >> I stop to take a breath and grip upon the control, my eyes begin to narrow at the numerous units popping out left and right on the map.

As I begin to pull on the gun on the knee side of the TSF I take one last speech to the team << And pave the way for our survival.>>

<<Roger!>>

If they want war, will give them war.
