Part 2 - Curiosity

It has been 20 minutes since Smith and Jake teamed. They were talking about their childhood all along the flight. Their friendship bonds tight, as if they're inseparable. Suddenly a loud whirring noises is heard from the right side. There are three planes rushing towards them and they're attacking Smith and Jake.

"They have a team of 3 people," Jake said. "What?! How are we supposed to beat them?!" Smith replied. "Follow me!" They took a sharp turn to their left. "Engaging back missiles," Jake engages the back missiles protocol which is a part of his aircraft modification.

"Locking targets,"

"Woah! That's a scary shit, Jake! Nice modification!"

Once the targets are locked, Jack immediately fires the missiles. The missile launchers engages on the bottom of the wings, targeting the targets accurately. The missiles swerves through the cold breezing air and hits three targets. With one remaining, Jake takes the final elimination with a missile, ending the fight instantly.

"Why is your aircraft has so many mods?"

"Each aircrafts in this battlefield have their own mods."

"The only person I know that is using mods is you."

"Have you not discovered your mods?"

"No... How? Is it even real?"

"Yes, and to achieve it... You need more training."

"What do you mean? It's just a pesky machine, I can just install the mods on my own!"

"Which you can't. This is supposed to be top secret but... I'm gonna tell you anyway. Our aircrafts are no ordinary aircrafts, they are like organisms. They connect with your heart. They become one with you. If you don't have faith in your aircraft, then it will feel the same to you."

"How is that possible?!"

"I do not know as well. But this is all the information I gathered. I believe this has something to do with an extraterrestrial technology."

"Interesting."

While they're talking, a loud horn suddenly goes off. It means an announcement will be made. "An announcement." Jake said. "Attention all competitors! We have only 43 alive left! And your fuel must be running out by now! We will be declaring a 2 hours break! Gather around at the Mid Peak to refuel your aircrafts, eat, drink and socialize!" The announcement ends with a beep.

With some new information learned, the curiousity gets even stronger. The only chance for them to figure out what happened behind all these madness, they have to take the 2 hours opportunity and investigate.
