Ace Combat X: The Southern Cross

by DemonLordGalm

2020...the projected year of the Odysseus Meteors impact on Earth. Everyone is paranoid, not knowing when they would hit. In the midst of this paranoia an enemy in the form of Leasath rises and strikes out at its neighbor, Aurelia, forcing one of its pilots to stand up and fight back for everything he holds dear. This is the story of the Southern Cross. FINISHED

1. Prologue

A/N Here we are people at the fourth story in my Ace Combat story. Who else liked that cliffhanger ending I left last story? hehe, I quite liked it in my opinion, and this event will end up leading into what will happen after Ace Combat X in my, planned of course, largest story yet and the finale of this series.

Prologue

'I never would've believed it was possible. I denied and denied, saying it could and would never happen again...but it did. And now four years later, the projected time Osea's president stated the Odysseus meteors would take to reach us, the Stonehenge International Railgun Defense Network is nearing completion after so much time, effort and of course money. Now, however, came the waiting. My god...the waiting. Everyone was going paranoid, wondering when those damned meteors would strike. It could be two weeks from now, maybe a month or two, or it could even happen on the very next day. The feeling of dread was unbearable...and it was taking its toll on us all.'

'Besides that the past four years have been quite, well, peaceful. A lot of people had gone crazy after they had found out from the Emmerian government that one of their greatest assets duringy the Anean Continental War had been none other then the famed Demon Lord himself. The real praise though had gone mostly to the Emmerian ace Talisman, who was credited with the most kills from the entire war. All I can say is good for him.'

'Like the old saying goes, the new generation will always surpass the old, and it seems this Talisman guy is going to become the new Ace of Aces after the Demon Lord. And me? Well, it would be nice to be recognized as one of the greats like the Demon Lord, Solo Wing Pixy, Nicolai Reznov from Yuktobania, the Razgriz, and now Talisman and the Garuda Squadron as well.'

'Heh...here's to hoping, right?'
