Year 2012; the granddaughters of the 11 witches use the striker unit based on F-15 Eagle, F-4 Phantom, F-2 Mitsubishi, F-22 Raptor, A-10 Thunderbolt, F-14 Tomcat, F-16 Fighting Falcon, Sukhoi jet models, etc. These units I thought, were the most improved compared to the original striker unit that were based on WWII aircrafts. Speed of any of these new srikers had increased from approx. 600 mph to 1990 mph, which was like supersonic speed. Speeding would never deplete much of their magic power due to its enhancement. They still use their shield made as of 1944.
After both Sakamoto Mio and Miyafuji Yoshika passed away, I discovered a large, abandoned battleship, which appeared to be the Yamato, sitting on an uninhabited island. I landed my Type B Rafale-M01 and made a discovery. Once I walk on the sand, I felt a metal under me. I dug it and I found a pair of striker unit which appears to be a WWII Japanese prototype J7W, used by Miyafuji during the final battle against the Neuroi hive. I felt something sharp. It looks like that I found a sword, used by Sakamoto. I know because I saw her name printed on the sword. "cool, a Reppuzan?" I loaded them on my craft and continued inside the Yamato wreckage. This ship was still alive because I saw live ammunitions in her magazine.
Ahhh...I found a Neuroi core on its bridge. "Its dead anyways." I thought.
After hours of discovery, I returned to Battleship Tanager and made a course to Romagna, where the 501st JFW headquarters was located. Yet, the 501st Joint Fighter Wing was still active in service as of 2012.
