The AC-130 gunship, call sign Spooky-1, circled high above the battlefield, its sensors locked onto Valeria's position. The aircraft was a menacing silhouette in the sky, bristling with advanced weaponry. With infrared cameras and targeting systems, it could track even the slightest movements on the ground, and its array of cannons could unleash devastating firepower from above.
Inside the cockpit, the pilot's voice was calm but focused. "Spooky-1 to command, we've got eyes on the target. Engaging now."
Valeria, still recovering from the mine explosion, had no time to react. Her body, though regenerating, was slower this time. The dark energy barrier that had protected her was flickering, barely holding against the relentless assault from the ground. Now, the threat from above was about to add another layer of danger.
