Chapter 1: First Contact
It's 2023, Major. Lucas Welfare is a 32 year old Pilot of the Viper Group. He and his squadron on a American Carrier that was part of a massive U.S. Investigation Force of the Middle East after many countries in the area gone dark. He was soon greeted by Luke, his wingman of the Viper Force. "Lucas, we are on the go at 15" Luke says, "Alright, I'll be up there soon" Lucas says as he gets off his bed. As they walk to the hanger, Luke looks at him. "Sir, you seem distracted lately, is something going on?" He asked. Lucas turn to him so quick, Luke was surprise his neck wasn't broken. "What do you mean?" Lucas asked. "Ever since we going on this Carrier, you been babbling about a woman with green skin" Luke says in a curious tone. "It's nothing, just a dream" Lucas says as they both reach the room. Lucas nods to Luke as they both board their F-35C Lighting Fighters.
On the deck, several F/A-18s and F-35s are preparing for patrol. Lucas soon activated his callsign Viper 1, "Alright, once everyone is off the deck, form on me" He ordered. Soon he was launched off the deck into the air, he then turn left to wait for his squadmates. Soon Luke and 2 other F-35 Pilots fly towards him and formed up near him. The other two are Jack as Viper 3, and the only female of the team, Sam as Viper 4. They soon flew to the area over Iran, along with 3 other squadrons. Once they reach the area, they looked over the destroyed capital of Tehan. Jack whislted, "What?" Lucas says as his group flew in closer to the city. "The city is gone, like it's only rubble and nothing else" he says. "What, did the nations go into a nuclear war?" Luke asked, "If that happened, everyone will know" Sam called out. "Cut the chatter, we'll fly over Baghdad and see if they suffered the same fate" Lucas says. The squadron soon fly off to the Iraqi capital, hoping the city is still standing. Once they arrived, they see the city destroyed. "Sir, I think we should call to the other squadrons to see what they find" Luke suggested. "Alright" Lucas says as he changed channel, "This is Maj. Welfare of the Viper Squadron, how is your findings?" He asked. Soon Birdseye 1 calls in, "Capital and everyone around it wiped, how about you?" He asked. "Same, we'll return back to back. Meet you there" Lucas says. "Got it" Birdseye 1 says. Soon the Viper Squadron turned away back home.
As they was getting close to the Carrier, Command calls out. "This is Supreme to all American Planes, we have reports of H-shaped fighters attacking U.S. warships near Qatar territory, requesting someone to move in" He says. Lucas takes the call, "Viper Squadron is on it's way. Tell them to hold out" He says as he soon called to his wingmen. "Hey guys, what's your fuel state?" He soon asked. "Mines can stay for another 7 hours" Luke says, "So can mine" Jack says. "Viper 4?" Lucas asked, "Mines a bit low" Sam says as she checks the meter. "Alright, Everyone but Viper 4 with me" Lucas says as Sam lands on the Carrier. Soon the 3 F-35 pilots along with 2 other squadrons fly in, the soon see H-shaped fighters firing green lasers at the U.S. Destroyers. "Alright boys, get the enemy Forces off our Navy" Lucas says as he and his wingmen flew into combat. Luke soon inttercepted one of them and fired his machine guns at it, destroying it quickly. Jack then flew in and fired his SAAM missiles as two enemy fighters, taking them out. Lucas then came in and chased one of the enemy fighters before firing a quick burst on them. One of the H-shaped fighters moved in and went after Luke, it soon fired green lasers at him. Luke can feel his fighter vibrate as he took the hits, "Guys, I need some help" He calls out. Lucas soon flew in and fired at the enemy attacker, destroying it quickly. "Thanks Major, I owe you one" Luke says. "You're welcome, just be careful" He ordered.
As the American Forces engaged the enemy, a Triangluar Warship appears in the sky. "Sir" Luke yells over the comlink, "I see, Luke" Lucas says before the massive warship fired it's cannons. The attack destroyed 3 U.S. Destroyers and a Cruiser, "What in the name" Jack says as he fly past the destroyed Task Force. Soon the Warship launched several H-shaped Fighters, overwhelming the American Forces. Soon Command calls out to the U.S. Forces, "All planes fall back. We have reports of a massive orbital invasion in progress, we are to retreat back to the States. I repeat, Retreat back to the States" Supreme Command ordered. "You hear them, return to the Carriers" Lucas calls out. Soon he and his squadron flee the battlespace along with several other combatants.
In the bridge, the Admiral smiled to his success. "Seems these people are like you people, retreat when you get the heat" He says. He soon goes up to a girl who's being hold on by Imperial Troopers. The Twi'iek girl snarled, "You get this campaign will turn badly on you. It will happen very soon" She say. "Well, let's make sure it don't happen. Take her away" He ordered. Soon she was dragged away back to the Ship's brig. He then turn to his Officer, "Get our new aircrafts out. Make sure the Terran Air Forces are destroyed and the military disorganized" He ordered. "Yes, sir" The officer says before leaving the bridge.
As the Air Group landed back on to the Carrier, Lucas and his squadmates leave their crafts. Sam soon runs out, "Sir, what happened? I heard we lost the Task Force and now we have an invasion going on" She says. "We are about to face something we never wanted in our lives, let's hope we can hold out until the United Nation's Security Council makes a plan to counter this" Lucas says. "Yeah, and hope we can make a good counter offensive to push them out this planet" Jack says with excitement. "Yeah, but for now. We rest" Lucas says. As Jack and Sam return into the carrier, Luke stops him. "Sir, how do you think we fight something like this, I mean, they destroyed a Cruiser with one hit" He says in a serious tone. "I know, but we need to stay strong. As of right now, we wait" Lucas says as he enters the ship. He soon began to think of what Luke says, "He's right, the Council will have to make a good plan for this" He mumbled before laying down and going to sleep.
First chapter of a Crossover with Star Wars Rebels and Ace Combat. I would like your opinions on this because I plan to get off my break to do this story until Feburary, or I can be silent for a month.
