This is the 35th chapter of the whole story. After making a lot of drastic changes with my own stories, i decided to update this story with a new chapter so that the readers could return some of their time to this story. Please enjoy this new chapter, everyone!
PS: All Abezian aircraft were De Havilland Vampires but the others were my own imaginations. I grow weary to the French Dassault Ouragan recently. All of my OCs had their names changed too. By the way, more new characters were now appearing in this new chapter. Once again, please enjoy reading!
Chapter 35 - Abezio and Abezia
Dusty went to Splero's hangar but he found out that it's empty. He then went to Kyla's Hangar and he saw Nitra meditating inside...
"Hey, Nitra. Where's Buster?" - Dusty asked -
"Buster was flying in the training grounds along with Splero, Blade and Tracia. Why?" - Nitra replied -
"Nothing usual, Nitra." - Dusty said -
"Just call me again if you need something from me, Dusty." - Nitra replied -
"Ok, Nitra. Thanks." - Dusty replied back -
Dusty left Nitra's hangar and he flew to the training ground. Upon arriving there, he saw Buster, Blade and Tracia flying in there. Buster was strafing the targets with his 20mm cannons kicking at full. Blade and Tracia unleashed barrages of rockets to their assigned targets with their rocket pods while Splero practiced his skills in using old 1948 Davidka Mortars...
"Hey, guys. How's your training?" - Dusty asked -
"It's good, Dusty. We're doing the daily chores, though." - Splero replied -
Dusty grins on as he watched on all of them. He also watches Splero firing his old 1948 Davidka Mortar but when he fires, the loud noises from it sends Dusty some chills to his head...
"Man, i didn't know that your mortar can emit such whistles and shrieks every time you fired it." - Dusty said -
"Well, that's the advantage for the Davidka Mortar used during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the Abezian Emergency. Loud noises can be useful for scaring enemies." - Splero replied -
"I see, Splero." - Dusty said -
Nitra then arrived but she veered too close to Dusty. She nearly collided with him. She performed a tight aileron roll to the right before leveling off safely...
"That's too close for comfort, Dusty! Watch it!" - Nitra said -
"Oh! Sorry, Nitra." - Dusty apologized -
Dusty sighed along as he continue to watch them all.
Later on, Blade and Tracia took a break from their training...
"Splero, we're going to take a break for a moment." - Blade said -
"Sure, guys. I'll call in the De Havilland Trios and the Smokejumpers later on." - Splero replied -
Blade and Tracia left the airspace while Dusty, Buster and Nitra remained in the skies. Splero noticed them all...
"Hey, guys. Are you all flying in fumes?" - Splero asked, worried -
"No, Splero. We're all equipped with a pair of Drop Tanks. We can carry more fuel to our engines." - Nitra said -
"Nitra's right, Splero. More fuel equals extra time." - Buster added -
Splero and Dusty snickered along to their words. As they continued a new plane and a new helicopter arrived in their airspace. Splero noticed them...
"Hey, guys! Looks like you guys had a good time to have a visit the others." - Splero said -
"Yeah, you're right. Good thing we came here from a hour flight from the Abezian Islands." - the new plane replied -
"We came here just to visit you guys, Splero." - The new helicopter added -
"Ah! That's good." - Splero replied -
Dusty noticed them...
"Splero, who are they?" - Dusty asked -
"Oh, i almost forgot! Dusty...meet Abezia and Abezio." - Splero introduced them -
"Abezia and Abezio? Are they also war veterans in the Abezian Emergency?" - Dusty asked -
"No, Dusty. They participated the Abezian Nationalization." - Splero replied -
"Abezian Nationalization? What's that?" - Dusty asked in confusion -
"The Abezian Nationalization is a emergency campaign that ensued in the Abezian Islands. if you want to learn more about them, we'll talk it about it later on." - Splero replied -
Dusty didn't replied.
Hours later, they returned to the base camp. Upon returning to base camp, the others were surprised to expect 2 new visitors...
"Everyone, meet Abezio and Abezia. They're the veterans of the Abezian Nationalization." - Splero stated -
Everyone is being greeted by the duo. Blade was getting interested with the new visitors...
"Man! We have a new female helicopter again! Even a new plane too!" - Blade said -
Abezio and Abezia approached the others to greet them. As the greetings continued, Dusty approached Splero from the sidelines...
"Splero, i finally asked Abezio and Abezia about the Abezian Nationalization." - Dusty said -
"Ok, Dusty. What does they say?" - Splero asked -
"Abezio and Abezia told me that the Abezian Nationalization was a emergency campaign where your Nacional Emergency Assessment Association done the relief operations ensued during the Abezian Nationalization." - Dusty replied -
"Yes indeed, Dusty. We're helping our Abezian people but the insurgents were stalling us from doing our relief duties." - Splero said -
"Did you ever expected resistance against them?" - Dusty asked -
"Yes, Dusty. I mean heavy resistance. We only use M6 Trucks, Stripper Planes and Helicopters." - Splero replied -
Dusty sighed...
"Don't worry, Dusty. We're already handled it much. All of us were trained to do so. Handling sidearms, assisting the sick and wounded, distributing relief supplies, relocating evacuees and doing extra tasks. As a result for those efforts, we're being promoted, praised, recognized and even awarded by the United Nations and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies." - Splero reassured -
Upon hearing that, Dusty was reassured...
"How many did you guys received the recognition? - Dusty asked -
"About more than 15 golden medals, Dusty." - Splero replied -
Dusty was surprised by this...
"Wha?! More than 15 golden m-medals?!" - Dusty asked, stammering -
"Yes, Dusty." - Splero replied -
"Wow! That's a lot!" - Dusty said -
Then Abezio approached the duo...
"Splero, where's your bestfriend?" - Abezio asked -
"Whom? Buster or Dusty?" - Splero replied with a question -
"Dusty." - Abezio said -
"He's right here, Abezio." - Splero replied -
Abezio looked to his right and he saw Dusty...
"Hey, Dusty! How's your day?" - Abezio asked -
"It's good, Abezio. We're just talking with Splero about the past." - Dusty replied -
"Hey! I didn't know that you're bearing the red and white livery on you." - Abezio said -
"You think so?" - Dusty asked -
"I think so? What are you talking about, Dusty? They're the official paint livery of any Abezian aircraft reported in the Abezian Nationalization." - Abezio replied -
"Oh!" - Dusty realized -
Abezia then approached Abezio...
"Abezio, have you seen Blade Ranger and Tracia Ayit?" - Abezia asked -
"They're in their hangar, Abezia. Why?" - Abezio questioned -
"I like to have a "helicopter to helicopter" talk with them." - Abezia replied -
"Ok, Abezia. Take your time. Call me if you need anything." - Abezio said -
"I will, love." - Abezia replied, leaving the trio -
Dusty was a little bit stunned by that. Abezio reassured him...
"Abezia is my girlfriend by the way, Dusty so don't get yourself get too shocked by it." - Abezio said -
Dusty nodded. Splero then reaches his own cigar and he began to smoke with it while the others continued on.
This is the end of Chapter 35. Man! That's one long chapter for me and for my hands. I'm glad that i can do these things while i'm still in active duty. Stay tuned for Chapter 36, everyone!
