Chapter 4: Combined arms championship: "Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?"
St glorianas ark royal has made landing in port and now Darjeeling and Johnnie are heading towards a meeting location
Johnnie: I guess this is the place
They stood infront of a large office like building
Unknown: Yo Darjeeling going on a date are we
Johnnie and darjeeling spun around
Darjeeling blushed
Darjeeling: no we are just here for the meeting kay
Kay: Of course you are
Johnnie: McCampbell how have you been?
McCambell: Good, it's been a while since we've seen each other. You still need to thank me for winning the two big multi schools games that happend a while ago
Johnnie: we had it under control( Johnnie said smugly)
McCampbell: like hell ya did
Darjeeling: should we head in
Kay: sure lets go
As they headed in the two Sensha-do commanders were talking to each other whilst the two aviation commanders talked as well, soon they heard a ruckus down the hallway
Katyusha: Shut it how dare you insult Katyusha
Kozhedub:(to himself) Iisus Khristos, ona vedet sebya kak rebenok(Jesus christ she does act like a child)
Katyusha: hey no speaking Russian
Kozhedub: Ok Katyusha
Katyusha: you Poles need to be quiet we will destroy you
Jajka: sure you will, our school size is like your size compared to Nonna
Katyusha: How dare you
Kozhedub: we will destroy you in the skies and on land
Skalski: we will probably lose but the krauts will definitely beat you anyway some of our pilots will just join Trenchard
Kozhedub: speak of the devil
Johnnie: kak ty byl kozhedub(how have you been Kozhedub)
Kozhedub: khorosho prosto nebol'shoy spor so Skalski zdes( ok just a little argument with Skalski here)
Skalski: kak vsegda(as always)
All 3 laughed
Katyusha: you three better not be laughing at me
Kay: how a've you been Katyusha
Katyusha: all right, until the Pole turned up
Darjeeling: hi Jajka good to see your commander now
Jajka: thanks Darjeeling it's just Katyusha is butt hurt over us beating them
Darjeeling: sounds like the miracle at the Vistula
Jajka and Darjeeling laughed
Katyusha: not you too Darjeeling
Johnnie: I think the meeting starts soon should we head in
