A few days after Miyafuji became our new member.
As I was dreaming of going on a fun date with Sanya in London, a loud siren dragged me back to reality and woke me up. Apparently there is a Neuroi spotted this morning, so I quickly got out of bed and got dressed. I left my room and meet up with everyone else, Commander Minna assigned Major Sakamoto, Perrine, Captain Barkhorn, Hartmann, Shirley, and Lucchini to head out while we stand by. So I used the opportunity to find Sanya since she didn't went to my room this time.
The first place I look for was her room. Once I got to her room I quietly open her door. She was sleeping on her own bed like an angel, but she left her clothes everywhere like usual and didn't cover herself with a blanket... I covered her with a blanket and organized her clothes, then I gently patted her head and wished her good dreams.
But the moment I left her room, another siren went off... So I rushed back to the meeting room, I saw Commander Minna looked a bit worried when I got to the room. But she told me to sit down to discuss an emergency. It seems that the Neuroi everyone else engaged was a diversion while the real Neuroi is heading for the base.
Then Commander Minna said, "It seems like only you and I can go, Eila. How about Sanya?"
I don't think Sanya will have enough strength and magic to go on another flight right after her night duty, so I answered, "She used up all her magic for night patrol, so no." As I crossed my fingers.
Commander Minna said, "I see, then it's just us two then."
Then some footsteps approached, it was Miyafuji, she said, "I'm going, too!"
Commander Minna said, "It's too soon for you to join in actual combat."
Miyafuji said, "I'll do my very best to not get in the way!"
Commander Minna said, "I can't just send someone with inadequate training into the battle, besides, you're still hesitate to shoot."
Miyafuji said, "I will shoot, to protect!"
Commander Minna said, "Regardless, you're still not ready."
Miyafuji said, "But..."
Then Lynne came from behind and said, "I'll go too!"
Miyafuji looked back at Lynne and said, "Lynette..."
Lynne said, "Together, we should equal to one person!"
Commander Minna though for a second, then said, "90 seconds to get ready."
Both Lynne and Miyafuji shouted, "Roger!"
Then they both ran off as Commander Minna look at me and said, "Let's go too."
I got up from the couch and ran to the hanger with Commander Minna.
In the hanger, I see that Lynne and Miyafuji were in their Strikers with their guns and waiting for Commander Minna's command. As I got to my Striker Unit, I quickly summoned my black fox as I jump into my Bf-109. Then I grabbed my MG42 from my gun rack, then turned off the safety, then cocked the gun.
Commander Minna took off first, then I took off right after she cleared the runway. After I took off, I match height with Commander Minna, then the two catch up to us right after.
Then Commander Minna said, "The enemy is approaching from 3 o'clock direction. Eila and I will go on ahead, so please provide backup from here."
Miyafuji responded, "Roger." Lynne soon followed.
Commander Minna said, "Then, we're counting on you." Then I speed up as Commander Minna did the same right after she finished the sentence.
A few seconds later, Commander Minna targeted her gun toward the oncoming Neuroi, so I did the same and we both fired at the Neuroi. The Neuroi was unusually fast and hard for us to hit it, I thought out loud, "It's fast."
Then Commander Minna stopped firing, so I stopped shooting as well. She then said, "This one is by far the fastest one, Boom-and-Zoom tactics aren't going to work." She looked at me and said, "Match its speed!"
I simply gave her a thumbs up as acknowledged, then dived down towards the Neuroi as Commander Minna soon followed. After we got close to the Neuroi, we started firing at it again.
The Neuroi was still hard to hit due to its speed. A few seconds later, the Neuroi detached a layer of its body and speed up even faster. We stopped shooting as I said, "It sped up." While we dodged from the hurling detached layer.
Commander Minna said, "It's too fast! This is bad." As the Neuroi pulled a good distance from us in spite our efforts of continuous chasing.
I looked at Commander Minna and said, "What now?"
Commander Minna said, "The only thing we can do now is to ask Lynne and Miyafuji." Then she talked into he intercom, "Lynne, Miyafuji, the enemy is heading your way. You're our only hope now, good luck."
After she got off the intercom, she said, "I believe in you, Lynne and Miyafuji."
Then we continued to try to catch up with the Neuroi while watching the far away duo teaming up against it. A few gun shots later, the Neuroi was destroyed by Lynne and Miyafuji.
As we looked at the exploded Neuroi from afar, Commander Minna said, "Lynne, you did it!"
Then Commander Minna said to me with a smile, "Let's go check on them."
I looked at the two together while falling and said, "Looks like they're crashing into the water..."
As they crashed into the water and then talking to each other after popping out of the water, Commander Minna said, "I guess a little victory celebration can't be helped." Then the two were hugging on the water as we arrived.
Commander Minna said, "Good job on your first kill, Lynne."
Lynne said, "It's all thanks to Miya... I mean Yoshika."
Miyafuji said, "But Lynne's shot was the one that hit the core."
Lynne said, "But I wouldn't have hit it without you."
Commander Minna said, "Well, I'm glad the mission went well. Let's get you two out of the water, Eila."
I got to Lynne and brought her out of the water while Commander Minna got Miyafuji.
We carried them on our back as they thanked us individually.
Then an intercom came in, it was Major Sakamoto, she said, "The decoy here got destroyed out of nowhere, did you get the main body?"
Commander Minna said through intercom, "Yes, our two little new recruits teamed up and destroyed it."
Major Sakamoto said through the intercom in surprise, "Miyafuji and Lynne did!"
Commander Minna said happily through intercom, "Yes."
Major Sakamoto said through intercom, "Good job Miyafuji, Lynne."
There was no response from the two... I looked at the sleeping Miyafuji on Commander Minna's back and then turned around and see that Lynne fell asleep on me too. I told them, "They fell asleep..."
Commander Minna said with a little chuckle, "Well, that can't be helped since it's their first real combat after all." Then she said through the intercom, "Mission complete, everyone return to base."
Various voices responded through the intercom with a firm yes, as I also replied, "Roger."
Then we carried the soaked wet duo back to the base. Once we got back, Commander Minna woke up Miyafuji while I woke up Lynne. They woke up and got off our backs, then we all hang up our own strikers and weapons. Then Commander Minna said, "Since we just dealt with an enemy early in the morning, I'm going to postpone the morning drills and everything till after lunch instead. You all aren't on duty at this time, so do what you like." Then she left the hanger as Lynne and Miyafuji headed for the shower.
Looks like Lynne and Miyafuji are finally going to join us in the battles from now on, thanks to them that Sanya didn't have to be the last line of defense here. I went back to my room and took off the wet clothes and throw it in the laundry basket, then got on my bed and took a nap before lunch.
