Chapter 1- First Contact
"This is Jason Durell, Blade 1 call sign Mortal, all aircraft report," said Mortal.
"This is Harris Norman, Blade 2 call sign Harvest,"
"This is Maria Nagase, Blade 3, call sign Archer,"
"…."
"Hey, Blade 4, you read me there," said Mortal through the radio of his F-4G Phantom II, wondering why Blade 4 didn't answer.
"Ah, sorry about that, this is Himito Sora, Blade 4, call sign Knight" Sora finished.
"All right, keep your head in the game otherwise things can get ugly for the unprepared," said Mortal.
"Yes sir," replied Sora.
They all flew in a four jet formation, over a large green field with only a few mountains in sight, and Sora saw it all as a very beautiful nation, but knew that their duty as pilots was a must, and they headed for the area where an unknown contact had been reported at.
After some flying, command soon came on, "Blade Squadron, we'll be doing an in-flight briefing so listen closely," and everyone paid close attention.
BRIEF
An unknown recon plane was spotted flying over our missile instillations, but was picked up by long range tracking and damaged the unknown craft, but the recon plane had managed to gain multiple pieces of Intel about the sites and is limping back.
Your mission is to shoot down the plane before it retreats to safer areas.
Be careful, the recon plane had probably already called for help, so be prepared out there.
END BRIEF
They activated full afterburner, and soon came in range of the ocean, Sora truly loving the panoramic view of the sea and land from the blue sky, showing that the view from the sky is truly different from the Earth.
Then Sora's radar detected an unknown aircraft out in the distance.
"Okay, we see the contact let's get a closer look at them," Mortal said.
Sora decided to go a ahead a bit, and soon got a good look at the plane, with a sleek black body, two engines, one on each wing and one engine with damage to it, and Sora remembered where she saw it from.
"Knight, what's the contact," Mortal said.
"The aircraft looks like an SR-71 Blackbird, a high-altitude recon plane and it looks damaged, must be from the missile that hit it," said Sora.
"All rights, and now for the difficult part, Knight, get back," said Mortal.
Sora got away and soon, Mortal's plane released a missile and it struck the Blackbird, igniting the fuel and causing the plane to explode into pieces.
Sora looked on as the plane fell from the sky, knowing that they had no other option but to shoot to plane down, since they were too far from an airbase, and the plane looked like it would crash anyway.
"All right, missions done, let's head on home," said Archer.
"Hey, that's my line," said Mortal.
We prepared to turn around when the radar suddenly detected a formation of unknown aircraft.
"Blade squadron," Command came in, "multiple unknown aircraft incoming, all toward your location, at least two, ten plane squadrons."
"Alright, we'll have to split up, Knight, Archer you take the right squadron, Harvest your with me on the left, let's get them," finished Mortal.
With that Sora and Maria went after the enemy squadron and soon saw the formation.
It consisted of MiG-21-93 Fishbeds, and also consisted of MiG-29A Fulcrum, and then they launched their missiles at both Sora and Maria.
Both evaded and then targeted and attacked the planes, Sora was able to get on the tail of two planes and the used the gun to tear into the Mig 21's, and both went down in pieces, then she saw as Archer fired two missiles at two Mig 29's, both striking their targets and destroying the fuselages of both planes, destroying them. Then Sora saw as a Mig 21 got on her tail, but she shook it off, then she got three Mig 29's in her sight and then fired of two missiles at the Migs, destroying two, and then switched over to guns and shot the last one down.
The last three Mig 21's tried to turn tail and run, but then Sora got on the leads tail, and shot it down but was then shot at by the one behind, but then, two missiles came and hit both Migs, sending them spiraling down to the sea, and soon Archer joined up with Knight, and both headed to Mortal and Harvest.
They came and found the two pilots in the fight of their lives as they fought a similar squadron, except it was being led by an F-14D Super Tomcat, a red slash on the tail, they knew it had to be an Ace, or an elite pilot, and then the plane shot up Harvest.
"I can't shake him, I cant-AAAHHHHHH!"
Harvest, was dead, his plane falling in flames.
Sora immediately went after the Ace, and kept on the Ace's tail, though the Ace did a flip, Sora stopped her plane and managed to line the enemy up in her sights, and then fired the gun, taking down the Ace and avenging Harvest.
The other planes were shot down by Mortal and Archer, all falling to the ground.
The mission was a success, though not without loss of life.
Mission Complete
The Scout plane has been shot down and all enemy aircraft were eliminated.
However, the unknown aircraft's attack has caused us a grave loss, Harris Norman, call sign 'Harvest' will be buried with full military honors and his actions, no matter how short, will be remembered.
That is all.
Sora looked out at the sky after she landed her plane, and she wondered who the Ace was, but knew that it was already too late and that Harvest was still gone, but knew that she had gone through her first mission and made sure it wasn't her last.
*FLASH*
A flash caught Sora by surprise and she whipped around to see a young camera girl, about in the early 20's.
"Hi, I am Masaki Hine, I'm a News reporter for Munei News and I've been attached to your squadron, and have been told to send back info on everyone," said Masaki.
Sora just grinned a bit and then turned to go back to the main base building, while Masaki went to talk to the other pilots.
Sora then looked at the sky, thinking back to how it all started, how she had been a student at a school and had won against them and freed the school from it's fate, thanks to those who were with her and her own actions.
Now it seemed like she had to do it again, except she was a fighter pilot, and it was for the world.
It would not be easy, but the nations were not going to give up …
…. and neither would she.
