Chapter 37A: Shattered Skies.

During the holiday season, the US troops have been regrouped and are waiting to pull out of to the mainland, but the USAF must launch a rocket carrying five recon satellites in orbit first since the presence of Stonehenge made the deployment of recon aircraft to the mainland impossible. So the success of the satellite's launch, the crucial to the success of the US war effort. This would be done using the Riass Space Center on the Comona Islands, 30 minutes south of Hawaii by plane. Launch is scheduled for New Year's Eve.

December 31st was finally here. Bugs and the gang was preparing for the New Year's Eve party, as well as Blake's 48th birthday party. Bugs, Charles, Derek, and Freddie were busy putting up a banner that says 'Happy New Year & Happy Birthday Blake.' while the others were decorating the base for this party.

"Is this good?" Charles asked while on a ladder holding the banner.

"A little more to the right." Bugs said.

"Better?"

"That's good."

"Alright."

"Nice banner." Derek said.

"Two events in one party, not bad." Freddie said.

"The Colonel being born on New Year's Eve, that's gotta be something." Charles said.

"I see you put happy birthday." Blake said.

"Hey, there he is. Happy birthday Colonel." Bugs said.

"Thanks Bugs, same to the rest of you." Blake said.

"Hey guys, pop quiz, Colonel you already know, guess what happened 17 years ago today?" Bugs asked knowing the answer.

The guys think for a moment while Blake knows the answer.

"I don't know, what?" Derek said after giving up.

"Today's the day that the Colonel stopped A World With No Boundaries from launching the V2 MIRV missile. If that didn't happened, we wouldn't be here right now." Bugs said.

"Oh yeah, that's right." Charles said.

"It was horrible. I lost a wingman and I had to shoot down my former wingman in order to stop the missile. That's a day I'll never forget." Blake said.

Then, Harrison spoke on the microphone.

"Mobius Squadron, sorry to interrupt your preparations but you have to report to the briefing room, we have a emergency situation here. Move!" Harrison said.

Mobius Squadron then ran to the ready room to put on their flight suit's as quickly as possible before running to the briefing room. Donaldson start the briefing immediately.

"A recon satellite will be launched from the Comona Islands rocket base to support our mainland operations. The Eruseans responded by deploying a large number of their air superiority fighters to prevent the launch. A large-scale air battle is expected. We must win this battle to maintain our air superiority. We've only got one window of opportunity for this launch. Shoot down as many fighters as possible to preserve top cover over the rocket base." Donaldson said. "I have to warn you that the Yellow Squadron is involved in this battle, so keep your eyes open. You're cleared to engage once you enter the combat zone. Now hurry, get in the air immediately!"

Everyone then scramble to their aircraft.

'I can't let the Eruseans stop that launch. It's the only way I'll be able to get back home and save my family and friends, mostly Lola.' thought Bugs.

Bugs got on his F-22 and took off along with the rest of the Mobius Squadron on the 30 minute trip to the Comona Islands.

Let you know that the space center and the Comona Islands is a fictional location by the way. Please review.
