Under the blazing sun, the vast plaza rumbled with massive machinery as a long vertical seam split open through the center of the S.H.I.E.L.D. emblem. The ground slowly shifted apart on both sides, revealing the Helicarrier beneath.
Tony Stark, Nick Fury, and Alexander Pierce watched calmly as the immense Helicarrier revealed its true form.
Looking into the distance, it resembled a moving runway deck.
Originally S.H.I.E.L.D.'s combat command and support center for long-range infiltration and global intervention missions, as well as its temporary mobile base during emergencies, this sea-and-air amphibious carrier Helicarrier measured 473.72 meters long and 305.185 meters wide.
Its flight deck was divided into upper and lower levels. The rear section of the lower flight deck housed the hangar entrances and exits, with additional spacious hangar space below.
The deck held numerous Quinjets, Quinjet fighters, VTOL helicopters, Alpha Jets, armed helicopters, rescue airships, and other defensive aircraft and equipment.
It served as a warship, aircraft carrier, giant transport plane, command center, laboratory, intelligence monitoring base, warehouse, and much more.
In the future, its various internal functions would be modified according to He-El's needs. Alexander Pierce's current agreement with He-El was that S.H.I.E.L.D. would handle the external armed aircraft and military preparations, while He-El would refit the interior into his private residence.
But both He-El and Alexander Pierce knew that was just bullshit they were feeding each other.
Tony Stark, Nick Fury, and Alexander Pierce looked down at the Helicarrier emerging from the split plaza. The S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel on its deck moved like ants, swiftly and orderly guiding the various defensive aircraft into the hangars.
Nick Fury and Alexander Pierce took the staircase extending from one side of the plaza to the deck and stepped aboard the Helicarrier. Tony Stark controlled his armor and floated directly from the plaza
