Chapter 6: Warbringer X-87

In the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, concealed beneath the sunlight, there floated a massive airship that casted a shadow over the sea. It appeared to hover effortlessly despite its enormous size, measuring at least 904 feet long and 487 feet in diameter. It is the largest airship ever built by humans, a unique and formidable creation. This airship, known as The Warbringer X-87, served as the empire's heavy artillery.

It floated above the waters, a sight to behold. It is adorned with sleek silver metal panels covering its surface and glowing blue lights pulsing along its edges. The airship is equipped with state-of-the-art weapons systems and advanced stealth technology, making it nearly invisible to radar detection.

On board, soldiers in different variations of technological exosuits patrol the corridors, their movements robotic but unusually flexible. The scientists were busy at work in the research labs, studying new armors being developed that promises to revolutionize warfare.

The Ocean stretches out below, its deep blue waters shimmering in the sunlight. The sun hangs high in the sky, casting a warm golden glow over the vast expanse of water. The airship hovers effortlessly above the waves, a symbol of human ingenuity and technological prowess. It is a marvel of engineering, a beacon of power for the future of Empire.

One of the key factors in Japan's swift defeat by the Frecitannian Empire was because of the Warbringer X-87. Known for its highly effective defenses, the warship was protected by a constantly active nano enforced forcefield that was considered to be among the best in it's time. Its weaponry was equally menacing, capable of deploying catastrophic nuclear charges that could cover vast distances, although it had lengthy deployment process. Despite its considerable size the Warbringer X-87 was also surprisingly quick and in the years following the war, advancements in the warship's technology have even further enhanced it's capabilities.

Heading towards the front of the Airship, a man in his early twenties walked through the vast corridors, leading to the pilot station. People around him respectfully moved aside as he walked, admiring him in whispered tones, "Isn't that him?" they asked each other. "Yes, that's the son of the commander." His graceful strides exuded confidence, almost like water.

He exuded an air of rich sophistication and elegance while walking through the grand corridors of the airship, his golden locks shining in the soft candlelight. His confident stride and regal bearing drew the attention of all who passed by, admiring the way he carried himself with such grace and poise.

His luxurious attire was quite over the top, with intricate embroidery and shimmering jewels adorning his velvet doublet and silk breeches. The gleam of gold buttons and buckles caught the light, adding an extra touch of opulence to his already lavish ensemble. Around his neck hung a chain of pearls and diamonds, sparkling with every movement he made.

He is widely recognized as the present head of the Japan Sect, known as Sir Arthur Williams, the son of the W.B Commander who is among the select few serving directly under the Empire's top echelon. The man had arrived at the Warbringer to visit his father, for he had important news to tell.

He approached a wall, appearing as if walking into a dead end, possibly having taken the wrong path. But then Arthur extended his hand, his each finger held with stones of various rare types gleaming beneath the vibrant blue light of the airship, resembling rainbows. He placed his hand on the wall and uttered, "M1D2C3" as a directive. Immediately after speaking these words the wall started moving aside creating a passage for him to pass through.

Upon entering the pilot station, he was immediately met with a large panoramic windshield that offered an unobstructed view of the surrounding landscape. The pilot station is filled with advanced technological properties, including a state-of-the-art navigation system, touch-screen controls and holographic displays that provide real-time information on weather conditions, fuel levels and engine performance.

The airship appeared to require numerous highly skilled pilots to be stationed at the pods continuously, with at least three for each system. There were offensive pilots for large-scale attacks, defensive pilots for protection, and light weapon operators to ensure the airship's safety. Additionally, only one pilot was needed to handle the airship's mobility and hovering systems. The pods housed hard working Frecitannians who had to operate on the systems around the clock.

Each pod had control panels that illuminated with soft, ambient lighting and were embellished with glowing buttons and switches that responded to the pilots touch with precision and ease.

Outside the pilot station, the airship is equipped with an array of sensors and cameras that provide the pilot with a 360-degree view of the surroundings, allowing for quick and accurate maneuvering in tight spaces. The hull of the airship is made of lightweight, yet durable materials that offer protection from the elements and ensure a smooth, efficient flight.

In front of Arthur stood the silhouette of the man who was in charge of leading the vast army and also the airship. Arthur's body couldn't help but react to the powerful presence of the man. "Father!" Arthur called out excitedly, causing the silhouette to turn around, the light gradually dispelling the silhouette that surrounded him.

The silhouette detached from the man, revealing an old man in his mid fifties. The old commander stood proudly in simple clothing, emitting an authoritative aura that commanded respect.

His weathered face bore the marks of countless battles and his steely gaze held a hint of intimidation that made even the bravest soldiers quiver. Henri Williams, also known as the Duke of Warfare, is the father of Arthur Williams and is recognized for leading the W.B personnel as their commander. He was responsible for acquiring the Warbringer X-87 and doing the most expansive damage to Japan.

Upon spotting Arthur, the old commamder started moving in his direction. With each step he took, the ground seemed to tremble beneath him, a testament to his might. It was clear that this commander was a force to be reckoned with, a true legend in the world of warfare.

Standing in front of Arthur, he looked to have dwarf Arthur despite being much older. The commander, despite his age, had muscles that were clearly visible beneath his clothing making his physique impressive. He stood at a height of at least 184cms compared to his son's 177cms. Arthur appeared small in comparison to his father, even though he was not lacking in muscle himself. It appeared that Arthur had inherited his father's strong and natural physique.

Commander Henri inquired in a commanding tone, making it seem as though he was not speaking to his son, "Sir Arthur, it appears that you have something significant to discuss. Hopefully about Prototype 1." His voice was harsh and serious, reminiscent of the sound of scraping two rough stones together repeatedly. "If it is not of importance, I fail to see why you have come here." He declared with a sharp gaze towards Arthur, addressing him with an annoyed tone.

Arthur felt a surge of panic but made an effort to remain composed. Showing signs of weakness in front of the commander was akin to performing poorly on final exams and having to face strict parents with failing grades. Despite his best efforts to appear confident, his smile faltered in the commander's presence, resulting in an awkward and unsettling grin.

He went down on one knee down before talking, demonstrating his respect by lowering his head. A droplet of sweat fell from his forehead as he trembled uncontrollably, displaying his nervousness. "Commander, it is a privilege to be here with you. I have crucial information that you must hear!" He attempted to speak firmly, but his voice cracked softly at times.

"You may lift your head and speak," the commander said, and Arthur complied. The atmosphere felt thin and oppressive.

"Sir, regarding Prototype 1 you tasked me to, it has been stolen."
