Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Shattered Echoes 

Sophia stood at the head of the team as they loaded into the helicopters, the rotors whipping the air into a frenzy. The mountains loomed around them, their jagged peaks a stark contrast to the valley below where their target lay hidden. Each member of the team was focused, their faces set with determination and a shared sense of purpose. This mission would strike at the heart of Black Phoenix's operations, and they were prepared to face whatever came their way.

As the helicopter lifted off, Sophia's mind raced with the plan they had meticulously crafted. She glanced at Ethan, who was already reviewing the schematics one last time, his fingers tapping rapidly on his tablet. Zoe sat across from him, her eyes closed in concentration as she mentally prepared for the battle ahead. The hum of the helicopter's engines was a constant reminder of the urgency of their mission.
