Chapter 1: Friends and Comrades
(0700 hours base 17)
Eighteen year old Third Lieutenant Rick Cloud sat in a briefing session in one of Base 17's briefing rooms. Base 17 was located only a two hour flight by Veritech away from were the RDF first saw action, Macross Island. Rick had just been transferred from Wolf Squadron to Shark squadron. He had flown with some of the RDF's most famous pilots, Rick Hunter, Ben Dixon, Max and Miriya Sterling while in Skull squadron and in Wolf squadron he flew with Izzy Randal, who had been hospitalized after an accident involving Cloud. Randal had been made Wolf leader after Jack Archer went missing on a search and destroy mission to kill Zerral. Rick never had met Archer but heard plenty from Randal.
"Okay Sharks, listen up" Commander Rob Jagosi entered the briefing room. "We have a twin squadron patrol over what was Macross Island between sectors 406 and 412 and sectors 419 and 424. Every pilot has two sectors to cover." Groans arose from the twelve pilots in the room "Hey, shut up, we're flying with Ghostrider squadron they have sector 413 through 418 and 425 through 430. We're airborne in fifteen, move."
Cloud walked toward his new VF-1R Veritech fighter painted in the light blue and black on white scheme of Shark squadron. He walked around the sleek fighter before checking with his ground crew chief. "Hey Cloud" Rick turned and saw his old friend from the academy Jake Storm. He was wearing a gray and green flight suit, the same flight suit that the pilots of Ghostrider squadron. "Hey Jake, when did you get transferred Ghostrider squadron?" Rick asked the slightly taller red haired pilot. "I just got transferred last week, this is my first mission. Let's hope for some action." Jake responded laughing." Rick climbed into the cockpit as Jake headed for his green and gray Ghostrider squadron Veritech.
(Several Hours Later)
"Shark 004, this is Shark 006" Rick called to his flight leader "Lieutenant there is nothing in sector 412 proceeding to sector 419." Cloud throttled up his engines and headed for sector 419.
(On the edge of Sector 419)
"Cats Eye to Shark 006, come in Shark 006" Rick looked up to see the face of Corporal Maiyia "Dolphin" Mizimoto, the pilot of the Cats Eye recon aircraft currently in the area. "Shark 006 here, what's up Dolphin?" Rick answered. "Cloud there is a dogfight going on in your sector. The Veritech's pilot is unidentified so I don't know the pilot's skill level or what squadron they're from, so get your butt over there and help out!" Rick rolled his eyes. "She's always too critical" Rick thought as he checked his radar and replied "I read Cat Eyes I'm moving to intercept."
Rick heard a call on his radio "This is Wolf leader requesting help." Rick smiled "Hey Izzy remember me?" Rick said. Rick could hear a groan over the radio. "How could I forget the most accident prone of my former pilots! I'm still not over the last air to air collision you were involved in!" The incident left Izzy in the hospital for three months and Rick an immediate transfer to Shark Squadron. "Yeah I remember that one." Rick replied. "You were lucky I didn't have you court martialed, kid." Izzy yelled over the radio. At 18 Rick was one of the youngest Third Lieutenants in the RDF's Veritech Squadrons, and being called kid was one of the things Rick hated being called. "Look Izzy lets cut the small talk and kill these Zentraedi."
(Fifteen minutes later)
"Well that's the rest of them Izzy. Man these rebel Zentraedi just don't give up." Rick said. "Hey Cloud how you get the glory and the girl?" Rick heard a voice come trough his radio. "What the heck! Jake what are you doing away from your sector?" Rick yelled. "I was just-" Jake started but was cut off by Maiyia "Wolf Leader take Shark 006 and Ghostrider 004 and get back to Base 17. It's under attack from multiple Zentraedi attackers. You are to join Shark and Ghostrider squadrons and defend the base from the Zentraedi aggressors. Cats Eyes out." Then Izzy cut in "All right boys you heard her, lets go." Izzy ordered "Yes Ma'am." Rick and Jake both responded simultaneously.
(Fifteen Minutes later) Rick checked his radar. "OH MY GOD! Izzy I'm picking up over a hundred bandits, possibly Zentraedi." Rick screamed into the radio. He started to hear Shark and Ghostrider Squadron pilots. He could only hear them due to damage sustained to his communication system. "Where the heck did these Zentraedi come from?" "Shut up Shark 009 and watch your six." "Ghost 008, Ghost 008, watch it you got bandits on your six." "This is Ghost 008, can somebody clear my tail." "Shark leader, this is Shark 002, we just lost Sharks 004, 007 and 010." Then Izzy could be heard on the radio. "Shark leader this is Wolf leader, I have Shark 006 and Ghost 004 with me and we're engaging now." Then she talked to Rick. "Rick, you take Jake and help out the Tomahawk Destroids and the Destroid Defenders." "Alright Izzy, Jake stay tight with me go to Battloid mode." Both pilots changed their Veritechs to the Human like Battloid mode They found Shark 013's Veritech out of action so Jake, in an unusual act of balancing, double wielded two gun pods and went blazing away at the Zentraedi attackers. Meanwhile Rick found a spot behind some Destroid wreckage and sniped at the Zentraedi. Then two battle pods and an Officer pod snuck up on Rick and fired at him but his Veritech moved in time to dodge the shots. Rick reacted by filling both battle pods and the Officer pod with holes from 55mm gun pod, then He spent the rest of his rounds on the remaining Zentraedi. "Nice job Rick" Jake told Cloud "Thanks" Rick responded "Say Jake how about we do a flyby of the tower." "Alright! Now we're talking."
(In Base 17's control tower)
The flight controller at Base 17 sat scanning the sky for straggling Veritechs returning to base. Two Sea Sergeant helicopters had been deployed to pick up downed pilots. He checked his list of pilots on patrol along with a description of every pilot's Veritech. He noticed only one pilot was missing from each squadron, but they weren't missing for long. Just as he picked up coffee a VF-1R from Shark squadron and one from Ghostrider squadron streaked by creating a sonic boom that shook the tower, and the flight controller's coffee spilled on his uniform. "God, I hate those two"
"You two are the most incompetent morons that I have ever seen. I should have you court-martialed. These wrecks that you call careers are of entirely your own making." Base 17's CO Capt. John Turkesa was ticked off at Rick and Jake the stunt they pulled. "You two idiots are lucky that Shark and Ghostrider squadrons are being merged into Phantom squadron. You two; however are to co-command a newly formed Shark squadron at a base in New Macross city, but your pilots are six like yourselves, troublemakers and showoffs." Rick and Jake both replied with a salute and an "Aye Sir" "Dismissed"
Out in the corridor both pilots chatted as they headed for the transport on the flight deck. "Hey Jake two more things we have in common, we command the same squadron and we're both first lieutenants." Rick said laughing as they boarded the transport to their new squadron.
