Hawk is grinning furiously.

"I'd say that went down rather well! A nice start before the shit hits the fan!"

Berserker is sitting at the edge of the copter looking out at the great view.

"Well that went surprisingly well don't you think"

"I don't think I've ever left the City," Ares says as he looks out over the landscape. "Really had no reason to."

"I don't think I have either," Mors says. "You'd think I would have at least once, but there's not much out here."

"That went very well indeed. With any luck, the rest of this will go that smoothly..." San replies while flying.

(wheeeeee flying....)

"We made it so far. Lets hope the rest will go that smoothly as well."

Keeping his eyes on the Gauges, Barb answers the unasked question that seemed to be on everyone's mind. "Yeah, I know. I'm flying pretty easily, right? I'll admit it, when I was still in the Matrix, I served a stint in the Military, flying Birds like this." Barb looks uncomfortable.

"Hmm, I seem to recall shooting down a helicopter with a pilot with your likeness..." Klez jokes.

"Just hope that wasn't all out luck used up for the day..." Cloud says admiring the view.

Time passes as your flight of helicopters delves deep into the Mountains.

None of you have ever been this far out on a mission before; this far away from the hardlines, equipment... safety. Nowhere to run to in here. If anything happens to the ships, none of you will have a chance.

Under Ariadne's guidance, you head towards what she thinks is the right place. And after some time of flying, something unusual turns up.

Between two mountains ahead of you, there is, connecting them, an enormous wall, as high as the mountains themselves.

Burn turns to dallas mid-flight, Humming Flight of the valkeries.
"So whats the plan doc?"

"The plan is that someone tells me what the hell that thing is!" says Dallas. In a flash, he is on the phone to Ariadne.

"Why in the hell didn't you tell me the King of Walls was coming up?"

"I... I don't know! It doesn't read like a wall, it reads like mountain!"

"What? It's all stone!"

"It's coded like mountain. There's differences!"

In fact, it is not just those two mountains that are connected. The wall goes out and around and back from the edge of it you can see. In fact, as you gain height to get a better look (difficult- you are pretty darn high as it is and helicopters aren't built for that much altitude), you can see that the wall actually forms a vast circle.

Something odd, though. Thhe wall is at a constant height, which is to say how tall it it varies.

To explain- the top of the wall is always at exactly the same height, relative to sea level. So where the mountain is low, the wall is very tall to reach up to that point. Where the mountain is high, the wall is very short, all it needs to be to reach that high point. In fact, some of the mountain peaks reach above the height of the wall, and there the wall does not exist at all- instead, there is the strange look of pinnacles of rock sticking out of this wall of uniform height.

"Fascinating, and to think I have never heard of this! I was trully blind before!" -Melkor exclaims, excited. "But we can just go over it, yes? I assume there don`t have artillery awaiting us...."

There doesn't appear to be anything inside the wall at all- just more mountain trails and valleys, the odd plain, all surrounded by this vast circumference of wall.

Perhaps there is something hidden inside wall/mountains?

Well, maybe.

"That wall seems rather...pointless," Mors says. "Nobody is going to come out here...well, except us."

"But what if its made to keep something IN... rather than out..."

Omg... there is a giant-chained up lizard in there!

...

Joking. No lizard.

damn....
