Chapter 170 I Can Hear and See you Now
Violet gradually awoke from an unsettling deep sleep, her body feeling oddly numb, as though it had been inactive for an extended period. She tried to move, but her limbs refused to cooperate, giving her the sensation of being tightly bound, though no ropes confined her. In the pitch darkness, she couldn\'t see anything, but she could feel the gentle, rhythmic shaking of her surroundings.
As her mind fought through the fog of confusion, she realized she was in a confined space – possibly a container box. The lack of light and the steady vibration led her to a chilling hypothesis: she might be in the cargo hold of an airplane. The thought sent a wave of panic through her. The idea of being trapped in a metal box, thousands of feet in the air, was terrifying. She tried to recall how she ended up in this situation but found her memory frustratingly blank.
Straining her ears, she searched for any sound that might confirm her location. All she could hear, however, was the muffled hum of what could be an aircraft engine. It seems that her abilities are affected as well after being injected by the doctors countless times to make her immobile.
She tried studying her surroundings more intently and then realized that she might be alone inside the metal container. Where is Seo-Jun? She strained her ears as she tried using her abilities. There, she could hear her faint breathing—from another metal box nearby. Violet\'s heart raced as she recognized the distinct rhythm of Seo-Jun\'s breathing, despite the faintness of the sound.
So both of them are still locked up by the Blackwatch forces huh? The group that they are supposed to take out—.
Suddenly, she heard a clear soft voice resonating inside her head.
"Violet…Violet, do you hear me?"
Violet\'s heart swelled with relief as she recognized the voice. "Brother~! I hear you, brother! But—how are you communicating with me?"
"It\'s another skill that I acquired after leveling up. It allows me to communicate with my harem directly through telepathy no matter the distance. Not only that, I also learned a skill that allows me to pinpoint where you are."
"That\'s an amazing brother~! Does that mean you know where we are? Help me brother, I\'m scared…I don\'t know where I am…Seo-jun is with me, trapped like me."
"I know, calm your mind. I know your exact location and based on the speed you are moving, it seems that you are airborne. I\'ll have my minions take care of whatever is holding you."
"Thank you…big brother!"

September 30th, 2023. The time was two o\'clock in the afternoon. A Boeing A400M cruised the skies at an altitude of 8,000 feet. They had been airborne for almost seven minutes and they were expected to arrive at the Clark International Airport in approximately thirteen minutes.
The A400M, a prominent figure in the realm of military transport aircraft, displayed its technical prowess in flight. This model, primarily used for strategic and tactical missions, had a total length of 45.1 meters (148 feet) and a wingspan of 42.4 meters (139 feet). It stood tall at a height of 14.7 meters (48 feet), making it a formidable presence in the air.
Equipped with four Europrop TP400-D6 engines, each capable of delivering up to 11,000 horsepower, the A400M had a maximum takeoff weight of about 141 tonnes (310,852 pounds). These engines drove eight-bladed propellers, each with a diameter of 5.3 meters (17.4 feet), allowing for efficient propulsion and lift.
The aircraft\'s cruising speed hovered around 780 kilometers per hour (484 miles per hour), with a maximum speed of 800 kilometers per hour (497 miles per hour) at higher altitudes. Its range, with a standard payload, reached up to 3,300 kilometers (2,051 miles), making it ideal for a variety of mission profiles.
Inside, the cargo hold of the A400M was extensive, measuring approximately 17.71 meters (58.1 feet) in length, 4.00 meters (13.1 feet) in width, and 3.85 meters (12.6 feet) in height. This spacious area allowed for the transportation of large containers, vehicles, and even helicopters, adaptable for various military and humanitarian needs.
It is crewed by a team of highly trained individuals, each with specific roles critical to the operation of the aircraft. The A400M typically requires a minimum crew of three: two pilots and a loadmaster.
The two pilots are in the cockpit, flying the plane by manipulating the controls. Meanwhile, the loadmaster sat on his chair near the cargo hold entrance, carefully monitoring the cargo through his computer. He was responsible for the balance and security of the cargo, ensuring everything was in place for a smooth flight. The loadmaster also coordinated with the pilots on any adjustments needed based on the weight distribution and any shifts that might occur during the flight.
In this particular mission, the A400M was carrying various containers and military equipment, unbeknownst to the crew, including Violet and Seo-Jun, concealed in one of the containers. The standard protocol for the crew didn\'t involve inspecting the contents of each container, as they were pre-loaded and sealed before the aircraft\'s departure.
Back at the cockpit, the pilot and the co-pilot were maintaining their usual routine when the radar indicated an unusual blip.
"Hey, check that out," said the pilot, pointing at the radar screen. "That\'s odd, isn\'t it?"
The co-pilot leaned in, squinting at the display. "Hmm, yeah. It\'s not showing up as a standard aircraft. Could be a glitch, or maybe some kind of atmospheric anomaly?"
The pilot adjusted some controls, trying to get a clearer reading. "I\'ll switch to the secondary radar system. Let\'s see if it\'s still there."
After a few seconds, the blip remained, growing steadily larger. "It\'s definitely something," the pilot muttered. "Not a glitch. Let\'s adjust our altitude, and keep a safe distance. We don\'t have any scheduled aircraft in this sector, and it\'s not responding to our hails."
As they adjusted the flight controls, trying to maintain a safe distance from the unidentified object, they peered out of the cockpit windows to get a visual. What they saw next defied all logic.
"There! What in the world is that?" exclaimed the co-pilot.
Outside the window, a massive bird-like creature, its body seemingly covered in molten lava, soared through the air. Its wings spanned wider than any known bird, and it moved with an eerie, unnatural grace.
"Is that... a bird? But it\'s huge!" the pilot gasped, disbelief evident in his tone.
Before they could react further, the creature\'s massive talon struck the right wing of the A400M,?instantly cutting through the wing\'s structure. Alarms blared in the cockpit as the aircraft began to bank sharply to the right.
"Mayday, mayday, mayday! This is A400M Flight 001, we are declaring an emergency!" the pilot shouted into the radio, trying to maintain control of the rapidly destabilizing aircraft. "We\'ve sustained major damage to our right wing. A bird-like enormous creature struck us!"
"Coordinates are 14.915440° North, 120.817049° East. descending rapidly!" added the co-pilot, his hands moving quickly over the instruments, trying to assist in stabilizing their descent.
The cockpit was a frenzy of activity as the pilots fought to regain some semblance of control. The aircraft\'s systems were in disarray, with warning lights flashing and alarms sounding continuously. The damaged wing severely compromised the A400M\'s aerodynamics, making it nearly impossible to maintain a stable flight path.
In the cargo hold, Violet and Seo-Jun felt the plane lurch violently. The once gentle vibration turned into a chaotic tremor. But they were calm, as it is caused by the master.
Despite the pilots\' desperate efforts, the A400M continued its rapid descent. The engines roared in protest, but the damage to the wing was too severe. The ground rushed up to meet them as they lost altitude at an alarming rate.
Seconds before impact, the pilot managed to send out one final distress call, "Brace for impact! Mayday, mayday!"
The aircraft hit the ground with tremendous force. The sound of tearing metal and the explosion of impact filled the air. Fire and debris erupted as the A400M crashed, the once mighty aircraft now a twisted wreck.
