Chereads / The Fated Omega One / Chapter 145 - Vehicle Selection - Weapon and Arsenal Preparation

Chapter 145 - Vehicle Selection - Weapon and Arsenal Preparation

Philip caught up to the squadron members and Justine before entering the hangar. Mark was excited to see the arsenal prepared for them as he was storming to go to the hangar. He was way in front followed by the squadron members, Justine, then Philip. Justine noticed that Philip caught up

"Oh! You're back! What did you talk about with Chris?"

Justine asked since she thought it wouldn't hurt to ask

"His doom"

"Doom?"

"Remember what I told you earlier? This military facility will fall during our mission"

"Is it really that bad?"

"Yeah... The closer to the time we go, the clearer I can see into the future"

"If it's that bad, shouldn't we call the others in the mansion to protect the military?"

"No. The world will be affected, there's a reason I didn't allow Sai or Alucard to come with us"

"And that reason is..."

"So that Alucard and Sai can support Jude and Mathilda in protecting the mansion"

"What?!"

"Yep, it's thaaat bad"

"Then we should warn them!"

"There's no need, Sai has an idea about it and I already talked to Rue yesterday and told her to bring the cursed finger to the mansion and relay a message for me"

"You were that prepared?"

"Not at all... I don't have the means in fighting against our enemy later... I just hope that the squadron and you will be enough"

"Hm... I'll try my best!!"

"I appreciate it..."

Philip gave a smile at Justine

"You can go all out by then"

"Hm, alright. I'll trust that you'll control me when I lose control, right?"

"Yes"

"Alright then"

By the time they were finished talking, they have arrived in the hangar and the light were turned on. Directional lights were ebaming down on every modified vehicle in the hangar. Military soldiers of high ranks were bustling and some of them saluted as the squadron members arrived

Philip's eyes widened from the grand view of the vehicles lined up across next to the walls of the hangar. He easily counted at least twenty vehicles of different types, expect for water-based vehicles, parked in the hangar

"Whoa..."

Philip exclaimed as his breath was taken away

The Heaven's Truck is parked in the middle of the hangar and it looks breathtaking. It was being cleaned and by multiple engineers and cleaners with tools that Philip has enver seen before. There were hydraulics, pumps, tubes, and nozzles that smokes the truck. A large beam of light is also illuminating the entirety of the truck. The color of the truck and the trailer is white with black linings that looked like it came out from a futuristic setting. There are also markings where mounted turrets, casings, and barrels are located

Beside the Heaven's Truck to the right is a modified motorbike with an advanced design, different from modern designs. It had a sleek design with a little bit of steampunk vibes. The metal used made the color of motorbike creamy or beige. The wheels had a dark brown color, indicating that it's not made of rubber, but some kind of flexible and elastic metal that Mark probably created

Then, the other vehicles that are available are a Mercedes-Bench F63 AMG S+ 4MATIC sedan, a Koenigsegg Regera sports car, a Naran Naran supercar, a Pegassi Tesseract supercar, three motorcycles such as Yamada YZF-R15 V3, Buelle Akuma Lightning XB12S, and MTT 420RR, a Dodger Challenger SRT Hellcat V-8, a Boeing AH-128 Apache Prime helicopter, a Boeing CH-94 Chinook, a Boeing V-22 Osprey, an F-22 Raptor jet, an F-35B Lightning III hover jet, a Leopard 2 tank, and an MQ-9 Reaper drone

There were a lot of powerful and expensive cars, but there are more military vehicles for some odd reason. Philip admired the modified vehicles before choosing his own to use during the mission. He then noticed that each of the vehicles has a name of their own. Of course, they all have the abbreviation of "HK" in them for "Heaven's Keep", the name of the squadron

"Can we really bring anything we want?"

Philip asked just to make sure. He was impressed by the vehicles that the military facility has developed and really wanted to try them. For him, the super cars were hot, as well as the bikes. He also wanted to try the helicopters and jets but he doesn't want them because he feels like he will have so much power in his hands. Not to mention his Future Vision, Dimensionality Formulation, Weather Manipulation, Eye Vision, and Clairvoyance that can help him dominate the skies

"Of course, you can!"

Mark shouted excitedly, even though his exprrssion is still serious and strict, his voice and actions says otherwise. He then went ahead to one of the supercars, the Naran Naran, which is named as Blaze-7 HK, and immediately claimed it. He boarded the csr and felt the inside. He was smiling smugly and he was happy

"..."

Philip just watched Mark as he was like a kid appreciating his toy. He then went ahead to the vehicle that he would like to use

"Is this what you're choosing?"

Justine asked since she was following him. Tenshi was also beside her

"Yes, how about you?"

"I like the F-35 hover jet. Though, I don't think I will be able to use it"

"Why not?"

"I'm more flexible alone in the air, being inside a jet will only hold me back"

"Does it hold you back though? You can manipulate vectors right?"

"..."

Justine widened her eyes. She had a realization after Philip gave asked her an obvious question. She immediately flew towards the hover jet and boarded it

"How about you, Tenshi?"

Philip asked

"I don't need another vehicle, I have the Heaven's Truck and I can just chill inside the trailer with the Heaven's Trike"

Apparently, the motorbike that was next to the Heaven's Truck is called Heaven's Trike, even though it only has two wheels

"Mhm, okay"

Philip then looked around to see what the others has picked

Sheena has picked the V-22 Osprey and boarded it. The name of the osprey is HK-22 Eagle. She then flew the osprey outside of the hangar to prepare for depature whenever. Elaine, on the other hand, has her back leaned against the Heaven's Truck. Looks like she doesn't want any of the vehicles

Philip can't blame her though, she's still young to drive and she doesn't have the skills and experience of vehicular combat and maneuverability

Meanwhile, Celine came towards Philip while eyeing at the vehicle in front of him

"Oh! You want one of these two?"

"Yeah, I preferred the Heaven's Trike but that's for emergency purposes. I do better using a motorcycle than any other vehicles"

"Okay, you can choose first then"

The vehicle that Philip chose is one of the three motorcycles parked next to each other

"I'll choose the Yamada"

Celine said as she walked towards the modified motorcycle. She swiped her fingers across the seat as she is feeling the motorcycle. The name of the motorcycle is HK-Speed

"I'll choose the Akuma then"

Philip went ahead and boarded the motorcyle in the middle. A personnel then lent the keys to him, same with Celine. Philip then nodded with approval at the name of the bike which is HK-Demon, fitting for the actual model of the motorcycle

"Philip..."

E-1 ran over to Philip while in distress

"What's up, E-1?"

"What should I do?!"

E-1 complained like she was a shy kid

"What? Why? What happened?"

"Do I have to pick something ride?"

"If you want to... Do you want to?"

"Everyone else is picking one, so I have to"

"What do you want?'

"I don't know..."

"Hmmm..."

Philip pondered for a while as to what E-1 should drive. He remembered that E-1 was locked in the Black Box her entire life and she probably has no idea what these vehicles can do. But he also thought that since she's an enigma no the world, she would somehow be able to use the vehicles

"Here, follow me"

Philip got off of the bike and walked towards a vehicle suited for E-1. She followed behind him and Celine and Tenshi stayed. Both of them inspected the HK-Speed

Philip stood in front of the sedan and it was named as CrawlerHK-S Plus. The sedan is titanium white in color with a red interior, red headlights, red under glow, black hollow rims, dark red neon linings, and cosmetic attachments. The sedan is very sexy in Philip's eyes

"You can use this if you want"

"Really?"

"Yeah! Why not? You can also practice driving as we go"

"Hm, okay!"

E-1 then entered the sedan and sat inside. The sedan suddenly turned on and the engine roared with an odd sound. The exhaust roared red flames and it purged itself as NOS smoke came out by the side of the hood

Philip smirked after seeing the sudden change in the sedan after E-1 boarded it

'She truly is an enigma... I have to understand her true being'

"What do I do?!"

E-1 asked with panic

"This wheel in your front steers the car to the left or right. The right pedal on your feet will accelerate the car and the left pedal will stop it. The handle to the right of your thigh will control the limit of the speed of the car. Do you get it?"

"Hmmm... I think so?"

"Alright, that's good enough. C'mon, we'll choose our equipment and weapons before we use the cars"

"Okay!"

E-1 got out of the car and followed Philip. They went towards the room where the equipments and weapons are stored. The other squadron members also came to choose one for themselves after getting used to their vehicles

"Where's Sheena?"

Mark asked in confusion

"She flew the osprey out of the hangar"

Philip answered

"What? Isn't she going to pick a weapon for herself?"

"I don't know... Oh, here she is!"

Sheena barged in into the door

"I forgot that we have to choose our equipment! Hehe! My bad"

"It's fine, we should pick anything that we need here"

Mark led everyone at what they should pick

"So, what do we need for the mission..."

Mark pondered out loud

"Well, we don't know what's inside or around the ground zero. How are we supposed to choose?"

Elaine gave a point

"Hm, let's choose our weapons first, we'll think about the equipments later"

"Alright"

Everyone nodded and they continued to roam around the room to search for their own weapons and utility items

Mark picked three swords, a katana, a longsword, and a short sword. He equipped the longsword and the short sword on his waist while he planned to hold the katana all the time. Celine found a rose colored engineered bandages that is made out of super flexible soft and durable metal. She picked up the bandages and wrapped it around her arms, wrists, and palms as her fingers are exposed. The bandages then contracted and reinforced her arms, made her bones stronger, and protected her skin

The engineered bandages were actually meant for Celine because it gives more power to her martial arts. It has the capability to contain more power and impact with every strikes. It will also prevent her arms from breaking if she would ever push herself too far that it shatters her bones. It happened twice in the past already anyways

Tenshi was frolicking around trying to find a specific weapon that she'll use. There were guns, swords, knuckledusters, glaives, and many more. But there's one weapon that she needed

"You're trying to find the prototype of the Harp shotgun?"

Philip asked after he saw her running around across the room

"Yes, I need the shotgun..."

Tenshi exclaimed in a sad tone

"Hmmm... You'll be fine with an ordinary shotgun for now. I promised you that you'll have a new better shotgun after this is all over"

"Hm, okay..."

Tenshi was hesitating to grab an ordinary pump shotgun because it doesn't feel right, but if it's needed for the mission, she'll grab it for now. Philip promised her a better shotgun anyway

Sheena then went ahead and took a total of ten weapons, seven guns and three bladed weapons. Two glocks are strapped on her ankles, two daggers are sheathed on her thighs under her skirt, a .50 cal sniper rifle is strapped on her back, across the sniper rifle, a katana is sheated on her back, and she will be carrying the automatic rifle. She went for the full load of arsenal

Finally, Elaine picked a desert eagle and a butterfly knife. She picked simple weapons since she can't do too much combat and can only provide support and relay information that anyone couldn't see

E-1 on the other hand, refused to pick any weapon. She said that she can't use them for some reason

Justine also didn't want to pick anything sice she herself is already a weapon by how she can manipulate vectors and energies. On the other hand, of course, Philip picked two swords, one sheathed katana and a single-handed sword

"Alright, since we have chosen our weapons and arsenal... What equipments should we bring with us..."

Mark asked everyone and started to brainstorm
