Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 40: The Transformed Puppet (please recommend! Please read!!)
High in the sky, there is an astonishing sight of a huge sphere with a diameter of ten kilometers lying upside down on the sea.

Lines of mist with a fiery red atmosphere lingered, giving people the illusion that Jupiter appeared on the earth.

The SV52, which is at an altitude of [-] meters, overlooks this amazing scene.

He Ming couldn't help but feel solemn.

This was the first time he had witnessed signs of a change with his own eyes.

When he saw the Jupiter-like sphere, that familiar tingling feeling appeared again.

The dull pain in his mind kept sounding alarms, keeping He Ming away from this unknown change.

But He Ming didn't do this.

No matter what the purpose is, the changes happening in front of us must not be left alone.

On one side of the SV52 fuselage, the route changed, and it quickly dropped in altitude, trying to approach the sphere, looking for opportunities to detect intelligence.

At the same time, on the other side, King Kong, who had been following SV52 all the way, also noticed the appearance of the huge sphere.

What's more, what she knows better than He Ming is that inside the huge sphere, there are identification signals of Maya, 400, 402, and 403.

"Maya! Maya! What happened? Was it attacked by the enemy?"

The fog fleet led by the battleship is rapidly approaching the sphere, trying to call out to its partners inside the sphere.

Unfortunately, no response was received.

King Kong couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Maya's silence made King Kong realize that something bad was happening.

After thinking about it, King Kong raised her hand, and the battleship at her feet and the several Nagara-class ships following behind raised their muzzles and locked onto the huge sphere.

"If I were you, I wouldn't attack this weird thing rashly."

Suddenly, the familiar roar of engines came from above. A cold light flashed in King Kong's eyes. The missile bays of the battleships under his feet opened one after another, and countless missiles were ready to launch.

"Wait! I don't have much hostility towards you."

A shadow as light as a flying bird fell from the sky and landed in front of King Kong. Under his gaze, it completed its transformation from fighter plane to humanoid form.

Such a shocking performance made King Kong widen his eyes.

"Human. Are you here to show off our new weapons?"

King Kong sneered a few times, but it didn't stop her from raising her finger and pointing at the enemy that appeared in front of her.

The other party seemed very helpless.

The humanoid body also spread its hands.

"I have said it before. I am not your enemy. The previous battle was forced to happen because you pursued me so closely."

"That's easy to say! Human."

The Vajra fingers were slightly bent, and the cannons flashed with dangerous light.

"Okay! What is my name? Let us calm down for now. It will do no good to you or me if we continue to fight!"

After the other party reported his name, he transformed the humanoid body back into a fighter plane and rushed into the sky in an instant.

From the beginning to the end, King Kong never attacked him, he just assumed a defensive posture.

No matter what kind of intentions this human being has, what King Kong has to do now is to figure out the situation of this huge sphere and Maya inside it.

"All ships, target..."

King Kong thought about it and finally decided to attack the ball in front of him to see the effect.

But just when he was about to give the order, he was stopped by a familiar wave.

"Giggle. King Kong, you are back!"

It is the voice of Maya.

King Kong looked at the huge sphere in front of him in surprise.

"Maya, is it you? Were you attacked?"

"No. King Kong. I feel very good now."

Maya's voice came from the huge sphere.

"Really? That's good! Then, next, we should deal with the humans who are getting in the way."

King Kong, who thought Maya had no big problem, focused his attention on SV52, which was hovering above the sphere.

The moment he locked onto SV52, He Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Hey! King Kong, don't you notice something is wrong with Maya's situation?" He Ming's voice sounded on the public frequency, but there was no response from King Kong.

"It seems that we should fight first? Trouble."

He Ming decisively raised the cruising altitude of the SV52 back to an altitude of [-] meters, temporarily avoiding King Kong's target.

Since the other party didn't want He Ming to hang around nearby, He Ming was willing to withdraw for a while and make room for King Kong to investigate clearly.

After all, compared to the frail little stature of the SV52, the battleship with the Klein force field is very strong and very suitable for fire reconnaissance.

The rapid climb of SV52 made King Kong feel weak.

That's why King Kong was never able to catch SV52 in this cat-and-mouse game.

"Maya, how are you doing now? Are you trapped?"

After giving up the idea of ​​continuing to pursue SV52, King Kong returned his attention to Maya, or the giant sphere.

"No. I'm not trapped!"

Maya's chuckle came from the huge sphere, seeming to be very happy.

There is no doubt that King Kong has him.

"Then, can you come out? Did you make this thing?"

"Hehe. Yes! It was made by me, 400, 402, 403, and everyone else!"

"King Kong. King Kong. Do you think we can have a carnival together?"

"Carnival?"

King Kong instinctively agreed, but suddenly paused when the words reached his lips.

wrong!

King Kong's eyes changed, and he finally realized something was wrong.

Maya,
When did Maya's words become so strange?
Although the tone and wording are not much different from before.

However, for some reason, King Kong felt a chill.

In human terms, it would be shuddering.

"Maya! Come out quickly! Let me see your condition."

King Kong took a step forward and shouted towards the giant sphere.

Behind him, the Nagara-class ships turned quietly and slowly changed their positions.

"Ouch! King Kong, don't be so anxious! I'm not ready yet!"

"Maya!"

King Kong's eyes condensed, and the warship at his feet took the lead in showing off its power, launching beams of light one after another.

"boom!"

"boom!"

A series of attacks only set off bursts of explosions on the surface of the giant sphere, but could not damage the giant sphere itself.

Such a change made King Kong feel a little dignified.

"Hey, since King Kong is so anxious to see me, then Maya come out and meet King Kong!"

Maya sighed sadly.

"You know that Maya's preparations for the carnival are not yet complete!"

Amid Maya's self-pitying voice, a straight beam of light split the huge sphere in two from top to bottom.

Then, a door opened.

At that moment, King Kong's expression was one of disbelief.

The energetic girl in the red dress of the past no longer exists.

The figure that appeared in front of King Kong was actually a strange girl wearing a silver-gray leather coat, with streaks of fiery red mist squirming around her like a living creature, and her eyes surging like fire.

"Hehe. What's wrong? King Kong."

"It's you who wants to see Maya!"

"You see, why didn't you say anything after seeing Maya?"

"Don't you think you like the way Maya looks now?"
