The island alarms finally began to scream.
Sharp red lights flashed across the perimeter towers as Kael's aircraft descended aggressively toward the presidential villa. The ocean beneath reflected the flickering warnings while security personnel rushed into formation with trained precision. Heavy artillery units rotated upward. Automated defense cannons locked onto the incoming target.
"Target approaching fast. Unknown hostile confirmed."
"Fire!"
A storm of bullets and explosive rounds tore through the sky.
The gunfire was relentless, loud enough to shake the palm trees lining the shoreline. Tracer rounds streaked upward in bright lines, colliding against the dark metallic surface of Kael's aircraft.
Inside the cockpit, Kael barely blinked.
The bullets struck the hull and disintegrated into sparks. Explosive rounds detonated on contact, but the aircraft's energy shielding absorbed the impact effortlessly, rippling with faint blue distortion before stabilizing again.
