Ch 1

June 14, 2011 was a day that history would never forget. The US and
the USSR were now the largest consumers of oil and were staring
each other down in the Middle East for the last drops of oil. Gas
prices were at an all time high and just getting to school was costing
more than going to the movies with your girlfriend. My name was
John Felix and I was fresh out of high school. I had no idea what to
do with my life. My best friend Blair Troop had his mind set sense he
was a boy, he wanted to be a marine. He would say to me "dude it is
the only way to find out what you want in life".

But I knew want I wanted in life. Her name was Amelia Smith. She
wanted to join the air force and become a pilot. Everything was
perfect about her but the thing that really got me was her light blue
eyes and her dark brown hair. We were just friends at the time but to
be honest I wanted it to be more. But I never had the courage to tell
her how I really feel because of the fear that my love would never be
returned. But on that day everything changed...

8 years ago

I was in the supermarket down the street from my house in a little
town called rosefield.

I walked in the store to buy a carton of milk for my family but when I
got there something just didn't seem right. Everyone was all staring
at the TV on the store counter. "Hey Tim what's the deal? Why are we
all looking at the
TV?"

Tim just looked at me with a blank, emotionless face and pointed at
the TV.
When I finely look over to the TV I could only just stare in shock.

There were three big red letters that spelled out the word WAR. A
reporter talking by the white house with an emotionless face just like
everyone else.

"Just 5 hours ago Russia lunched a surprise attack on Seattle,
Washington invading parts of the northwest United States and Canada.
Just a few minutes ago the president declared war on the country of
Russia and all of its allies. As we speak now the Erourpean federation
is engaging Russian forces in Eastern Europe as the Russians invaded
Poland. From what we hear national guard units and US army ground
troops are holding the Russians at the Olympic mountains about 50
miles outside of Seattle. As of now I think it is safe to say that
world war three has begun."

The news then went to a commercial break. No one was speaking just
staring at the TV. Tim finally broke the silence and said, " they say
that Russia is to scared to use nukes because they think we might use
ours to..."

I couldn't say anything. All I did was turn around and walk back home.

When I got home the first thing I did was go to my room and call my
friend Blair to tell him the news.

When I called his house his mother was crying. She said the Blair had
left to go to the recruiter station in town. He had seen the news and
only wanted one thing... to serve his country.

I had no idea what to do... my best friend had just went off to fight
for his country and I was sitting here doing nothing...

Just then the phone rang.
It was Amelia.

"Hello?"

"John?"

"Hey Amelia.."

"Did you hear the news?"

"Ya... heard it..."

"what are you going to do about it? Everyone I know is enlisting
into the military to help out," she said with a slight sense of worry.

"I don't know... I have no idea what service I would join and what I
would do.." said john.

Amelia then spoke in a very quiet and sweet voice, "well that's kinds
what I wanted to talk to you about... I was wondering if you would
join the air force with me.."

John soon was blushing madly and stuttered "I.. Um... Well... Sure...
I mean... Ya... I guess it would be kinda cool to be I pilot."

Amelia's voice was now filled with hope "you will?"

"Sure thing Amelia. When do we sign up?"

"We can go now! Meet me at the recruiter station in town in ten minutes."

There was a click as she hanged up the phone.

Amelia fell onto her bed and looked up at the sealing. She couldn't
believe it. He had actually said yes! The boy of her dreams was now
going with her to join the air force! All her life she wanted to fly
but now that they were in the middle of a war and she was scared. The
possibility of her dieing scared her but now that john was coming with
her she felt safer.

"Maybe this could work out after all," she said to herself as she got
ready to meet up with john.

The present

John was laying on his bed in the dorm at the air force academy. The
former school was transformed into a major air base because of the
war. The base was now home to the 33rd fighter wing and the 52nd
bomber wing. John was now a lieutenant in the air force and was leader
of the 23rd saber squadron. Their squadron was made up of f-22's, the
most advanced fighter in the world. Saber sq. was well known for
their successful bomber escort missions and holds the record of zero
bombers lost.

A lot of pilots would see this as something to be proud of but John
didn't. He has been this way ever sense flight school. When he was
with the one he loved most.

Everything turned south when they started flight school. John was a
pilot at heart and never even realized it entail then. But Amelia
wasn't as lucky. She didn't score high enough on her test to become a
fighter pilot. Instead she ended up flying c-130 transport planes. As
they made there last goodbyes John thought about telling Amelia how he
felt about her. But John knew that the air force forbids relationships
between pilots during war times. So instead he just gave her a simple
goodbye.

John thought back at that moment and remembered how sad Amelia looked
when he left her that day. He wished with all his heart that Amelia
and himself would make it out of this war alive-

John was suddenly broke for his train of thought when he heard a
distant explosion.

Everyone in the dorm was awaken when another explosion went off but
this time it was closer.

Then the sound of an air raid alarm could be heard down the hall
fallowed by a soldier running and yelling, "Were under attack! Everyone
to their stations!!"

John immediately knew where his station was and that was in his jet. So
he rushed out of bed to get his fight suit on.

Moments later he was suited up and ready for action. As he ran out of
his room he was met by his wingmen Kyle who everyone called shamrock.
He was called this because of his carrot top hair and obsession with
drinking. He never really liked it but he got over it after a wile.

"Damn commies always cutting into my sleep time." Shamrock murdered
under his breathe.

"Just another day on the job shamrock" John replied with a smirk on his
face.

"Ya I know its our job and all but couldn't they at least wait until
morning to attack its like 3 A.M.!" he yelled as another bomb exploded
close by.

When they got outside they jumped in the back of a pickup truck. The
truck zoomed to the hangers where saber squadrons fighters were
located.

As they ran up to their planes john saw 3 SU-47 fly right over them
and strafe a two f-35's close by.

John cursed as he saw the two 35's catch flame. He could see that one
of the pilots wasn't so lucky to die instantly. Instead you could her
a deathening scream as the man tried to climb out of the burning cot pit.

A moment later John, shamrock, and the rest of saber squadron were
strapped into there jets. They then began to start up their engines.

The whine of the engines started as a low deep sound and slowly rose to
a high-pitched scream. "John, this is Shamrock! Those 47's are making
another pass! We need to get the he'll out of here!"

It was going to be close...

Just as saber squadron was getting moving the migs opened up with
their guns. John watched as almost all of saber squadron was wiped out.

All that was left of saber squadron when they reached the runway was
just shamrock and John.

Just then they could see two Russian bombers moving in behind them to
carpet bomb the entire base...
