Lynette Bishop "Lynne" P.O.V
"Don't worry Lynne Yoshika will be fine" Perrine tells me as she catches me looking back towards the base for the fifth time in the last ten minutes. I didn't want to leave Yoshika right now in her time of need but Minna ordered me to, now I want to get back and can't stop worrying about Yoshika. "Everyone back at base will look after her"
"I know" I reply looking forward once again, Perrine may not like Yoshika but her comforting words help me but not enough to rid me of worry, I don't think anything will rid me of this worry.
"You know that stupid racoon dog is stubborn and want be going away that easily" Perrine continues and despite her insult at Yoshika I find myself smiling, I think deep down Perrine must like and care about Yoshika's wellbeing. "If it was that easy to be rid of that country bumpkin I would have down it back in your homeland"
"Yeah your right" I say with a smile on my face, Perrine's harsh words about Yoshika should have made me mad but instead they did the opposite, they made me smile and feel better about leaving Yoshika. "Yoshika is going to be ok"
"Then stop worrying about her and worry about yourself until the end of the mission" Perrine tells me and I think I will take her advice, I know I won't be worry free of Yoshika's condition but I can at least try and have faith in my friend. "Yoshika will be ok so keep you mind on the mission or we will have to tell her about your death"
"Right" I reply with a smile looking at Perrine. "Thank you Perrine I really needed that"
"Your welcome" Perrine says returning my smile. "It was the least I could do as a Noble Lady of Gallia"
"Perrine Lynne we are nearing the convey Erica and I just spotted them on the horizon" Captain Barkhorn tells us and both Perrine and I look to see several ships appearing on the horizon.
"We see them too" Perrine replies for the both of us.
"Good now let's get above them and make sure they make it safely to port" Captain Barkhorn says as we close in on the ships. "Lynne take up position above the rear of the fleet, Perrine the left, Hartmann the right and I'll take the lead"
"Yes ma'am" Perrine and I reply as I can start to make out people walking around on the decks of the ships, they are waving and cheering us and Perrine and I wave back.
"Ok Trudy" Erica replies accelerating to get into position.
"Everyone keep your eyes open remember the enemy fighters are fast so engage them as soon as you see them" Captain Barkhorn tells us as we take up positions above the fleet ready to protect it from danger.

It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, birds singing and it's not too hot or too cold, it's just a perfect day today and it's a shame that there's a war on preventing me from enjoying it. That and something I must do as Sanya rests for tonight, she would never agree to let me do what I'm doing now so waited for her to fall asleep and slipped out of our shared bedroom. I'm going to expose our new devil in disguise commander and to do that I need evidence, that's way I am in the Commanders Office now looking through her stuff. I had to keep this a secret from Sanya, she would try and stop me if she knew saying it's too dangerous and risky but it's something that I must do. I know that it is risky but with Commander Lida in the Radar room with Minna and Major Sakamoto right now overseeing the mission to protect the convoy giving me enough time to snoop around, I really have a good feeling about this, I know I will find some dirt on her in here somewhere. I look through her draws but find nothing of use, I search through her paper work but apart from some spelling mistakes nothing's wrong there, it was only by chance that find something of use in exposing her. I was walking by her desk and accidently kicked it, as I was holding my toe trying to stop myself from cursing I hear a light thump. I look under the desk as my toe throbs in pain and finds a brown small book that was hidden under the desk, I take it and look over the cover reading its title with a smile as it reads "Diary". Now I got her.
I open the book and start to quickly look over the pages looking for keyword I can use against her, I read for what feels like forever until I find something that makes my blood boil. It is about something that happened ten years ago when Sanya and her first meet when Sanya was five years old. It describes and event that makes me want to run into the radar room and ring our commanders neck until it snaps, hearing the event from Sanya made it seem horrible but reading about it hear from our devil commanders words makes it twice as worse and just proves how evil she really is and how much Sanya suffered. With this book I got her all the proof I need to expose her right here in my hands. Just this one page alone is enough to get the job done so I don't even need to take the whole book, I carefully tear out the page and then even more carefully replace the book under the desk. Now I got you, with this one page I've got all I need to bring you down and avenge Sanya. I can't wait to tell Sanya that I have her and she will soon be rid of her bully forever, I really can't wait to see that cute little smile of hers after I tell her.

Tsyrinskaya Lidia Yermolayevna "Lida" P.O.V
I was sitting happily on the wall watching a spider wrap a fly up tightly in a web smiling at the power the spider has over the fly, I wish I could have that type of power over something. That's when I first saw her while heard her singing, I peeked around the corner to see a girl who looked like snow singing happily as she picked flowers without a care in the world. I still remember my smile and how happy I was to see her, I knew right away I was the spider to this girl and she was the spy, I would have all the power over her. I look around to check she's alone and her parent are nowhere in sight, she is she must live nearby but no one is in sight and nobody can see use down here. I calmly walked up behind her and made her jump, I wasn't intending to scare her from the off but that was a pleasant surprise.
"Hi I'm Lida" I say loving the fear I image I will soon see in this girls pretty green eyes.
"I'm Sanya it's nice to meet you" She replies extending her hand towards me.
"It's nice to meet you too" I say shaking her hand while trying to think of how and what I would do, I probably should have thought of this before I approached her. "So what was that song you were singing I never heard that song before?"
"My dad wrote it for me during the rainy days last month after her saw me board counting rain drops" She answers with a smile. "My dad is the best singer and piano player in the world"
"Really" I say as I come up with something to do to her, something inspired by watching that spider. I push her to the ground catching her by surprise, she lands with a thump and looks up at me with fear and surprise in her eyes. "A shame you didn't take after him because listening to you sing made me wish I could hear at all"
"But every likes my singing" Sanya replies with tears in her eyes sounding upset, it looks like I found a weak spot.
"Really and I bet they were all your family and didn't…" I tell her kicking her over so she's laying on her back and then pressing my boot into chest leaving a muddy foot print behind. "…want to hurt your feelings" I continue as I put more pressure on her chest making her burst into tears, the sound of her crying sounded a million times better than her singing. "I bet they secretly hate your singing and after hearing it myself I wouldn't blame them" I let her up and watch as she tries to run with mud covering the back of her black dress and white hair, tears covering her face. But I don't want my fun to end so quickly, I trip her so she lands face first into the mud and while she's spitting out mud from her mouth I jump onto her back and grab her arms. I use string I had on me and tie her hands behind her back and her feet together, once that's done I turn to face her and press her face down into the mud. When our eyes meet again I laugh at how good it feel to see the fear in her eyes as I dominate her just like the spider dominates the fly caught in its web, I tie her with string like the spider ties its fly's in webs both of us have our prey completely at our mercy and I love it. "Do you really think I would let you leave this quickly when we are only just beginning?"
"Please let me go" I hear her beg and it sends the most amazing feeling through my body, I love it when she begs. "I won't tell anyone just please let me go"
"I will when I'm down" I tell her making her shake and whimper in fear. I pat her pockets down and find something worth my time, I pull out some candy from her pocket. "Lucky you that you had candy on you" I say as I put her candy in my pocket and untie her hands seeing blood where the string cut into her. "Go run on home but if you ever tell anyone of this then you will regret it" I warn her untying her legs finding more blood. "If you thought this was bad then you don't want to find out what I do to tattletales"
Recently added notes
Ever since that day I tormented her bring myself much joy as I watched to happy outgoing girl turn shy and into a scaredy-cat, I hate the war and the Neuroi for ending my fun but recently I have reunited with my prey and like the spider trapping the flies in its web I have no intention of letting my snowflake go. I will destroy her happiness again and watch her cry and scrim with a smile on my face. I really am looking forward to it and I can't wait until I begin, I just need to plan before I act just like before.

"I got you now" I say as I put the diary entry into my pocket, I got you now bitch.
"Who have you got?" A voice ask from the doorway and a shiver runs down my spine with the knowledge that I was just caught red handed. I turn to see the devil commander herself in the doorway looking at me with a sly smile on her face like she knows something I don't. "What have you got now Eila?"
"A spider" I say without hesitation I guess reading her diary gave me that excuse. "I wanted to ask you want time is mine and Sanya's mission tonight but I saw a spider and just finally crushed it"
"Then where's the body?" She asks and I have to think quickly.
"I crushed it in my handkerchief and am going to throw it out in a random bin" I tell her amazing myself with my quick thinking. "I would show you but my hankie but it has a…" I go red making it more believable and don't ask me how I did it because I honestly don't know. "….bunny pictures over it and its embarrassing to show people"
"Ok" The devil replies with a soft laugh that doesn't sound mean but from what I learned about her I bet it is mean. "You mission starts at midnight now go get some rest"
"Yes ma'am" I say as I leave feeling happy that I finally got her, relieved that I got out of there and glad that I left because my hands were twitching with the need to chock the life out of her. I go straight to mine and Sanya's room and find Sanya fast asleep where I left her, I strip down to my underwear and crawl into be next to her smiling knowing that I finally got her as I fall into a deep slumber.

Above the convoy
Gertrude Barkhorn "Trude's" P.O.V
Everything's great, we are not having any problems and should reach port within an hour. So far no signs of the Neuroi, new enemy and no problems report by any of the 501st or the ships we are escorting. Minna and Sakamoto have reported nothing on the radar so it looks like we will reach port without engaging the enemy, it was a peaceful flight and one of the reasons why I'm glad nothing happens is because it was nice break in the horrible fight of recently. As we get closer eight fighter aircraft join us, they are all Fiat CR.42 Falco biplane fighters from the Romagna air force. But thankfully it looks like their help won't be needed, I can see the port just on the horizon and like I said should be there within an hour. But then again I spoken to soon.
"Trude we have a Neuroi approaching your position from the south" Minna suddenly tells me destroying the peaceful mission and our small short break from the war. "It's a medium type and if it maintains its course and speed it should intercept the supply ships in ten minutes"
"Ok we will leave the biplane's to protect the ships and go intercept it" I tell her turning back to look at the witches with my.
"Ok Major Sakamoto, Shirley and Perrine are in route to assist you" Minna says as I fly south and use hand signals to tell the other three to follow. "They should at the Neuroi at the same time as you"
"Roger guide me to the Neuroi Minna" I reply readying my guns.

"That bitch" I curse seeing the torn out page in my diary. "That fucking bitch took it" I throw my diary against the wall and watch serval loss pages fly out, I knew she did something but I didn't think she took a page from my diary. Not just any page but the worst page, the things written on that page could end my career and get me into a lot trouble. Why did I have to write new things onto the bottom of some of those pages? It was a mistake that could ruin me, now for the first time in my life I really feel like I am in hot water. "That bitch will pay for this" I quickly pick up the phone and dial a number I only had to ring once before. "It's L I need your help"
"What do you need L?" The mysterious voice asks that I have no idea who it belongs too. "I'm a busy man you know"
"I need rumours spread about a certain girl that will cause her a lot of trouble" I tell him, that bitch will pay for trying to get in the way of me and my prey.

Moving towards the Neuroi
Gertrude Barkhorn "Trude's" P.O.V
"I see the Neuroi dead ahead" Erica cheerfully says as we close in. I see it to, it looks like a large arrow being shot through the sky, has red patches covering its body like it has chickenpox and the Neuroi moves at a fast steady pass in a straight line towards the supply convoy. "So what's the plan?"
"Erica you and I will attack it and test its fire power" I say as I look around but fail to spot the Major and her team anywhere. "Lynne, Perrine stay here and cover us and also keep your eyes out for the Major"
"Yes ma'am" Perrine and Lynne both reply but at my side I hear laughter.
"Don't worry Perrine always has her eye on the Major" Erica says as she charges the enemy, I quickly follow her a bit mad that she took the lead when that's my job.
"What did you mean by that?" I hear Perrine loudly ask as we charge.
"You know what I mean!" Erica replies bursting with laughter as she attacks, I swear that if anyone saw the ace of aces right now they would think she's made charging the enemy like a crazed mad women.
"Hartmann stay focus we about to enter a battle" I tell her as we close and I take aim.
"All the more reason to have fun along the way" Erica says as she too takes aim. "You never know this battle could be our last"
"Don't talk like that" I tell her. "We will make it through this"
"I know" Erica says with a smile. "But it's nice to see how much you care about me"
"Just stay focus" I tell her as we are about to enter firing rang. "You go left I'll go right"
"Got it" She replies as the Neuroi fires a beam in-between us as we break to attack the Neuroi on both sides. We fly ever side of the Neuroi and open fire dealing it a lot of damage but also having to weave to avoid its onslaught of beams, I think I have tis Neuroi figured out, it has fire power but weak skin. "Trude are we attacking again?"
"No we will regroup and await the Major I have enough information" I reply as we regroup behind the Neuroi. "With the Majors eye we should be able to deal with it"
"Ok" Erica says as we fly to re-join Lynne and Perrine.
Mio Sakamoto P.O.V
"What's the situation with the Neuroi?" I ask as Shirley, Lucchini and myself join Barkhorn's group flying above and behind the Neuroi just out of is firing range.
"The Neuroi is still heading for the supply ships" Barkhorn answers as she flies up beside me. "Erica and I checked it out, the Neuroi is weak but has a rapid rate of fire"
"Ok everyone we will trail it until I find the core" I order as I lift my eye patch. "Once I locate it Lynnette will take out the core"
"Yes ma'am" Everyone replies as we continue to trail the Neuroi. I scan the Neuroi as with my purple eye trying to find its core, from what I can see Barkhorn's account of the enemy is accurate. I see the Neuroi has a thin body and its skin doesn't look that strong. After a minute or two of looking I find what I am looking for, I see the core in the nose of the Neuroi glowing a bright red glow.
"Lynne the cores in the noise take it out" I tell her keeping my eyes on the Neuroi core to correct her aim if needed.
"Yes ma'am" Lynne replies and I hear her chamber a round into her rifle. She fires and I lose sight of the core as the Neuroi explodes into a cloud of dust. But the Neuroi doesn't explode into shards and starts to regenerate, that's when I see it, the core moves from within the Neuroi dodging Lynne's attack and surviving intact.
"This one has a moving core we need to lunch a larger attack" I tell everyone as I watch the last bit of damage Lynne inflected heal. "Barkhorn, Hartmann attack from the left, Shirley, Lucchini the right and Perrine stay here and cover Lynne and myself as we attack the core and guide the others fire"
"Yes ma'am" Everyone again replies as they move into position to attack.
"Barkhorn aim just to the left of where Lynne's last shot hit, Erica aim about a meter below that" I order as I watch the core come to a rest right where it was before. "Shirley aim above where Lynne last shot Lucchini aim just to the right" They dive as soon as I finish towards the target. "Lynne aim where you last shot Perrine follow me and aim to the left of where my bullets hit"
"Yes ma'am" Both Perrine and Lynne reply as I start to dive and I hear Perrine's Striker on my tail just as I ordered. I watch the core try to dodge the fire from Erica and Trude only to run into the fire from Shirley and Lucchini and halt its movements, it tries to retreat down the Neuroi's body but now Perrine and I are in range to fire and both of us together mange to stop its movements and keep the core trapped in behind bars of lead.
"Everyone hold your aim, Lynne take the shot now" I order and less than a second later the Neuroi's explode into a cloud of dust for the second time, only this time the Neuroi is breaking up into shards and letting out a dying screech. "Good job everyone now let's return to the fleet and continue to provide air cover till they are safely in port"
