Gallia, 1941 September. As the sun rises over the barren country, and winds blow in a westerly direction, the sky is cover in darkness from the Neurol hive. from a distance a viewer could see small lasers periodically shooting from the hive, but up close it's more frantic. The lasers are shooting at a small single engine fighter. the fighter is a Nakajima KI-43, one of the fuso's air force's finest fighter, other than the zero, it had just entered service with the IFAAF. The pilot behind the stick is 27 year old 2nd Lt. Akihiko Amaterasu Akagi,or simply "Triple A". His friends call him that because his name. The Amaterasu comes in because, he was born right when the sun was rising in Naie, Fuso. In fuso's tradition, the sun is the giver of life, and is one of many gods and goddesses, Akagi is his family last name, despite the launching of fuso's carrier of the same last name.

Akihiko is maneuvering through the fire trying to not die and escape to the coast of Britannia, already he has raked up a kill score of 247 neurois. How did he rake up so many kills? Using some copied information on the striker project, Akihiko mange to customized his sake engine to take in huge amounts of energy created from the fighter and turn that energy into the magic the witches use to activate the striker units. Son now he is able to go faster, even more maneuverable, be more accurate in shot placing, and as a final touch, use a shield.

Finally Akihiko saw a break and dived. His plane quickly gain speed, and before he crashed into the ocean, he yanked the stick back. The plane responded to this and gradually pulled out of the dive. His plane roars just a foot from the water as it races towards the Britannia coast. Although he dodge death, his plane was severely damaged and running low on fuel. His options were, A: ditch in the ocean or B: find the nearest field and hope for the best. Akihiko knew the 501st fighter wing was near the coast and decide that was the best option. he turned his plane in that direction. Five minutes later he sees the base and it's landing strip. Immediately he radioed the tower and prepare for a crash landing. his plane lined up on the strip as he coaxed the throttle. He flipped a switch to bring the wheels down, but the wheels did not go down. And to make it worse his plane stalled. His plane hit the pavement of the landing strip at 30 miles per hour, and stop a mere three feet from the ammo storage. Miraculously, Akihiko survived the crash. As the fire crew were putting out the flames, a blacked faced Akihiko opened his canopy and got out casually. Not a single cut, bruise or broken bone was found, this baffled the base's medical staff. The 27 year old pilot forgot his katana in the cockpit and went to go grab it. He did then he went to the commanding base officer's office.

He knocked on the door. "Come in." a voice said. he entered and saluted to the witch. "My name is.." as she started to speak,he cut her off. "I know who you are Ms. wilcke." Akihiko replied. " I'm Lt. Akagi, IFAAF." he continued. Then Sakamoto came in. Akihiko turned around and bowed at his superior. She nod and he stood back up. "Lieutenant nice to see you again. I heard about your crash landing an hour ago." she said. "Yeah, let's just say it went smoothly." Akihiko replied back. Then Minna spoke up. "Crash? what crash? Why was I not informed of this?" " He radioed in about this and i sent an aide to tell you but you almost bit his head off because he was interrupting your work so I authorized the landing." Defeated, Minna said, "Alright if it was the best option, i forgive you." Sakamoto laughed then said, "It's alright Minna." turning to Akihiko, she sad, "lieutenant why don't you take a shower, get that black off of your face." " Yes mam." he replied and then left.

His room was quite dull with a small desk and a bed. He put his sword down on the desk,and started to take his flight suit off. He heard a knock on his door and opened it. He was eye to eye with a Britannia girl. "Yes?" he asked. "My-my name is.." "Sergeant Lynnette Bishop" he said finishing her sentence. "h-how do you know my name?" she asked. Akihiko replied "In my training we were taught every location of every joint fighter fighter wing, and who is part of that wing." "Oh ok, here I brought you some knew clothes and a towel." "Thank you." Akihiko replied and took the clothes. Then he spot something in the corner of his eye. Without looking he said, "I know your there, who ever is hiding come out." Another girl came out but she looked younger. "Your new what's your name?" he asked. "My name is Yoshika Miyafuji." "Hm. Another fuso witch." he said then he bowed. Miyafuji bowed when she realized what he was doing. "The name is Akihiko Akagi, 2nd lieutenant." he said "But you can call me triple AAA, or just Akihiko." "Yes sir." Miyafuji replied "Okay girls i need to get into the shower and was this black off of me." he told them "okay" both girls replied then left. He closed the door and fished undressing and headed for the showers.

After the shower, he got dress in his clothes. The he realized it was his dress uniform. "How'd Sakamoto get a hold of my uniform?" he asked him self. he shrugged then he attached his sword to the belt, put on his white gloves, though he was not navy e still thought the gloves were appropriate, and put on his cap. he exited the room to go to the kitchen to have lunch. when he entered, all the witches stop talking and looked at him, then continue to talk. he found an empty table and sat down. out of the corner of his eye he saw two witches get up and walked towards. with out looking he said,"What is it you want Hartman and Barkhorn, or should I say Trude?" Both girls stopped and said "Nothing." and walked away. Clearly his question caught them by surprised. After lunch he went to his bedroom to sleep. His body was aching from the day and he had not slept for the past two weeks. he closed the door shut the blinds and fell fast asleep.
