Chapter 21B: Front Line.
The Wardog Squadron arrives back at Sand Island, which is still in chaos. At least the base now doesn't have to worry about a Russian amphibious invasion on Sand Island. Anyway, Blaze, Lexi, Clyde, and Junior went to the briefing room since the mechanics told them that they'll do the post-landing checks for them. Of course, Peterson waits for them so he can debrief them.
"The Arkbird was successfully employed over the forward edge of the battle area. The enemy amphibious force attacking Sand Island was repelled, and their invasion plans halted. The underwater carrier Scinfaxi, a lethal enemy threat, was engaged and destroyed by the superior firepower of the Arkbird. Having lost support of the Scinfaxi, the remaining Russian forces retreated. Furthermore, we are requesting reinforcements from Central Command to replace our squadron members lost in combat." Peterson said. "That is all."
"Guys, pray for da souls of da nuggets dat were lost in combat today." Blaze said.
"We tried, but failed to protect them." Lexi said.
"Let dis be a lesson dat we have to get prepared for da unexpected." Junior said.
"At least we and the Arkbird took care of that sub." Clyde said.
Afterwards, everyone went their separate ways. In his room, Blaze opened up his laptop and noticed he's getting a webcam call from Cassandra. Blaze push the button to answer.
"Hey Cassie." Blaze said excitedly.
"Hi Blaze. Haven't heard from you in a while." Cassandra said.
"I know, sorry babe. I hope I didn't concern you."
"No, you're in the military and since you're busy with the war…So how are you and the others so far?"
"Exhausting. Da squadron and I just came back from a combat mission."
"My God, what happened?!"
"Da Russians tried to invade Sand Island, which da others and I are stationed at, with the Scinfaxi being involved. But don't worry, we took care of dem."
"Good thing you, Lexi, Clyde, and Junior are okay."
"Dis is already my squadron's 7th combat mission and my 5th as a flight lead."
"Ah, congrats, Blaze."
"Tanks."
"That Scinfaxi you said. I heard about it. You saw it?"
"Yeah, dat was the biggest submarine I've ever seen. I tell ya, if my dad saw it, he would react the same way as me."
"And you destroyed it?"
"Barely. Da Arkbird did most of the damage."
"Oh, well you don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Yeah. Well, I better get goin' Cassie."
"All right my bro. I missed you and I love you."
"Love you too."
Blaze and Cassie blew air kisses before signing off. Afterwards, Blaze, Lexi, Junior and Clyde can get some well-deserved rest. For the US forces, they can no longer worry about the Scinfaxi, however, they don't know that a giant sub is lurking near the wreak site of the Scinfaxi.
That's the end of the chapter. Yes, I know in real life, a military officer is not supposed to give out information regarding a combat mission, but that came to my head. Anyway, Please review.
