Mission 7: Front Line.

[Sand Island, USA. 1007 hours. October 4, 2040.]

Blaze: "Disperse, Wardog. Weapons hot."

AWACS Thunderhead: "This is AWACS Thunderhead. All units, listen carefully."

Clyde: "Ahh, I missed that sweet voice. Say, you get that from your mama's side of the family?"

AWACS Thunderhead: "Cut the chatter. First enemy wave, bearing 280 degrees. You are cleared to engage on sight."

Blaze: "Wardog."

Lexi: "It's too risky to bring the nuggets here."

Clyde: "I'm with you on that."

Clyde: "You agree, Kid?"

Blaze: "Yes, cuz."

Clyde: "Seriously. They've got their hands full just keeping their planes in the air."

Rookie Pilot: "If we make it back alive, there's something I want to ask you, if that's all right."

Blaze: "Yes you may."

Rookie Pilot: "Thank you. It's just something I have to know."

AWACS Thunderhead: "Fox Two!"

Blaze: "Hind is down!"

Sand Island: "This is Sand Island Base Defense! Enemy amphibious force intercepted at the coastline!"

Clyde: "Oh, great. Here we go."

AWACS Thunderhead: "Enemy ships are firing toward Sand Island. Stop them. Enemy assault ships are launching attack helicopters. Shoot them down before they reach Sand Island."

Blaze: "Roger dat."

Blaze: "Fox Two."

Russian Landing Force: "Fighter squadron, turn to intercept them."

Sand Island: "The coastline is under heavy enemy attack!"

Perrault: "I know, I know! All units, this is Colonel Perrault at Base Command. Do everything in your power to stop them. If you can't protect this island, what'll we tell our great heroes in the sky?!"

Lexi: "Missile fired from enemy sub!"

Junior: "What?!"

Blaze: "Cover, Wardog!"

Lexi: "Get out of there, Junior! You nuggets, too!"

Clyde: "Climb! Climb! C'mon!"

Lexi: "You hear me, nuggets? You have to climb!"

Clyde: "Pull up, everyone! Get your altitude above 5,000 feet!"

Blaze: "Let's go, nuggets. Climb!"

AWACS Thunderhead: "Submarine missile launch confirmed! Believed to be a burst missile, with multiple warheads that separate in mid-air. Get above 5,000 feet and stand by! Wait, we're getting a command override from somewhere. 'Data link to A-SAT Targeting System…' What is this?…..Now it's counting down by itself. 9, 8, 7..."

Clyde: "Darn it! They're not gonna make it!"

AWACS Thunderhead: "4, 3, 2, 1..."

Blaze: "Whoa! Break now!"

Junior: "Da sky just lit up!"

AWACS Thunderhead: "Missile vaporized in midair!"

Clyde: "What was that? Did you see that kid?"

Blaze: "Yes."

Clyde: "A beam of light fell from the sky."

Lexi: "…Was that the Arkbird?!"

AWACS Thunderhead: "Missile destroyed by a laser beam fired from orbit altitude. It's the Arkbird. We've got the Arkbird! All units, continue engaging the enemy!"

Blaze: "All right!"

Russian Landing Force: "The missiles all disappeared! What's going on?!"

Russian Landing Force: "What was that! What happened?!"

Blaze: "Firing!"

Blaze: "Enemy vessel sunk!"

Russian Landing Force: "The support fleet is under attack!"

Blue Hound: "This is the anti-sub patrol plane Blue Hound. Submarine detected by sonobuoy. Sound pattern analysis produces a match with the Scinfaxi."

Junior: "Captain, do you think da Arkbird can really avoid hitting us?"

Blaze: "Yes, bro."

Junior: "Yes, it does seem to be highly accurate."

Blue Hound: "Thunderhead, this is Blue Hound. Detecting sounds from Scinfaxi indicating imminent missile launch."

AWACS Thunderhead: "Arkbird, we'll send the data over as soon as we detect the missile. We're counting on you."

Blaze: "Here we go!"

Russian Landing Force: "Looks like the enemy's stopped playing nice."

Russian Landing Force: "That single bird has tipped the scale of this entire battle!"

Blaze: "Blaze, Fox Two!"

Blue Hound: "Missile away from enemy sub."

AWACS Thunderhead: "Locked on! Begin data link!"

Blaze: "Enemy vessel sunk!"

Russian Landing Force: "What a nightmare. Who are they aiming for?"

AWACS Thunderhead: "Arkbird firing laser."

Blaze: "Whoa."

AWACS Thunderhead: "Missile destroyed! We did it!"

Russian Landing Force: "What was that light?"

Russian Landing Force: "They shot that from outer space?"

Rookie Pilot: "I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna get out of this alive, I know it!"

Russian Landing Force: "This is what they launched that day?!"

Russian Landing Force: "Don't panic. We haven't lost yet."

Blue Hound: "Oh no! They're launching more missiles! Number 3, number 4, number 5..."

Blaze: "Oh geez!"

Junior: "There's too many!"

Lexi: "C'mon, Arkbird! Use your lasers! The nuggets are gonna get killed!"

Clyde: "Climb, kids! Go, go, go!"

Lexi: "Come on, nuggets! Climb! Move it!"

Blaze: "Lets' go, nuggets!"

Rookie Pilot: "Follow the flight leads!"

Rookie Pilot: "Did that attack really come from a submarine?"

AWACS Thunderhead: "Missile vaporized in midair!"

Clyde: "They're coming! They're still coming!"

Blaze: "C'mon, Arkbird!"

AWACS Thunderhead: "10 seconds to impact. 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, impact…now!"

Rookie Pilot: "The eject handle's stuck!"

Rookie Pilot: "Wings damaged! Losing altitude!"

Junior: "Dey're all falling!"

Clyde: "Darn it…"

Blaze: "Darn it!"

AWACS Thunderhead: "We can't deal with the enemy fleet like this."

Sand Island: "This is Sand Island Base Defense. Intense fighting along the coastline! We can't hold out much longer!"

AWACS Thunderhead: "We have no choice. Just weave through the missiles and continue attacking the ships!"

Clyde: "Oh yeah, just weave through the missiles? What are you, nuts?"

Blaze: "Yeah, seriously, Thunderhead."

Arkbird: "Blue Hound, this is Arkbird. Requesting sonobuoy data link."

Blue Hound: "Stand by. We're dropping a new sonobuoy."

Blaze: "Cover, Wardog."

Lexi: "All remaining squadrons, rejoin into attack formation. The remaining enemy forces are regaining their momentum."

Arkbird: "Blue Hound, this is Arkbird. Is that sonobuoy data available yet?"

Blue Hound: "Roger, we're sending it now. What are you going to do?"

Arkbird: "Countdown to firing. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."

Blaze: "What da?"

Blue Hound: "The Arkbird shot a laser into the ocean!…Explosion in the water! It damaged the submerged Scinfaxi! Picking up sounds of main ballast blow. The Scinfaxi is surfacing!"

Blaze: "Whoa. Attack, Wardog."

Lexi: "It's huge…"

AWACS Thunderhead: "Looks like it's lost diving ability. It's floating like a cork. All units, commence attack."

Blaze: "Wardog."

Russian Landing Force: "The Scinfaxi is surfacing! It appears to be damaged!"

Blue Hound: "Aircraft launching from enemy submarine."

AWACS Thunderhead: "Roger, Blue Hound, stand by. Wardog, engage the enemy aircraft if you see an opportunity."

Blaze: "Fox Two!"

Blaze: "AA guns destroyed!"

Blaze: "Dis is da biggest submarine I've ever seen!"

Blue Hound: "Enemy sub launching burst missile. Brace for impact."

Junior: "Multiple burst missiles…Dis really is like steel rain!"

Clyde: "We gotta end this soon, or we'll be in trouble."

Blaze: "Cover, Wardog."

Clyde: "Roger. Leave it to me!"

AWACS Thunderhead: "10 seconds to impact, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, impact…now!"

Blaze: "Attack, Wardog!"

Lexi: "Copy that!"

Lexi: "It's like this enemy came straight out of the demon legends. That can't…It can't be!"

Junior: "If we can sink it here, you think we'll be able to turn da tide of battle, Captain?"

Blaze: "Yes, bro."

Junior: "I hope so. We've been on da defensive for a while now."

AWACS Thunderhead: "Warning! You're being spiked by enemy radar!"

Blaze: "Blaze, Fox Two!"

Blaze: "SAM destroyed!"

Junior: "How can a submarine dat large even exist?!"

Blaze: "I don't know, but da impossible just became possible."

Clyde: "Fox Two, Fox Two."

Clyde: "Missile hit."

Blue Hound: "Enemy sub launching burst missile. Brace for impact."

Blaze: "Cover, Wardog."

Lexi: "We haven't finished it off yet."

Clyde: "That black hunk of metal's got a ton of firepower behind it."

AWACS Thunderhead: "10 seconds to impact, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, impact…now!"

Junior: "Whew!"

Blaze: "Attack, Wardog."

Blaze: "Fox Two! Fox Two!"

Blaze: "SAM destroyed!"

Clyde: "It's still alive!"

Clyde: "So…the demon's finally revealed itself."

Junior: "So dat bird's got its eyes on us from outer space…"

Russian Squadron: "It's a sitting duck out there. Keep the enemy away from it!"

Blaze: "Locked on!"

Blaze: "Burst missile launch tubes was destroyed!"

Clyde: "I can't believe this sub is still that powerful even after it's surfaced. This can't be fair."

Blaze: "It won't be far long."

Blaze: "Blaze, Fox Three!"

Blaze: "Yahoo!"

Lexi: "The Captain shot one down!"

Blaze: "Radar lock!"

Blaze: "Missile hit."

Clyde: "They're still coming?!"

Lexi: "We're approaching the vessel. Watch out for anti-aircraft fire!"

Blaze: "Fox Two!"

AWACS Thunderhead: "Arkbird firing laser."

Russian Landing Force: "The Scinfaxi is under heavy attack!"

Blue Hound: "Direct hit! It ripped a massive hole! The sub appears to have lost the ability to launch additional aircraft."

AWACS Thunderhead: "Blast it out of the water!"

Blaze: "You're history!"

Blaze: "Target destroyed!"

[The Scinfaxi sinks before exploding.]
