Ok now its time to work on this chapter. I sure hope I get more Reviews on this one, and I'm sorry that the last one was of such low quality, but hey, I needed to get some experience in these calm and dramatic type of chapters, I'm really going to need it, much later on.

Dangerous Beach

After the flight back from Tokyo-3, all of the pilots wondered how they would survive the rest of the war. Those thoughts were cut short however, when the next mission was brought up and the time for the debriefing of that mission. During the wait, Charlie decided to show Seer and Shinji to their commanding officer, along with their own squadron.

Their CO was actually two people. Commander Hawkins and Corporal Tiniant. Hawkins was the obviously the higher up while Tiniant was the second in command. Charlie introduced the two pilots.

Commander Hawkins was the first to speak in front of the two, "I hope to see some good things from you boys, good luck on your next mission, I'll see you two at the debriefing" Tiniant came next and spoke quickly in her strong voice "You'll need to know your call sign during the mission, Charlie has his own way of doing things, but you'll need to follow the rules from now on. You'll be given a call sign just after you've been debriefed, take it and add the number one to it, or lead, whichever will do fine during a mission, remember that"

Tiniant then followed Hawkins over to the debriefing room. Shinji and Seer looked at each other and then sighed. Once both made it to the debriefing room the meeting started.

"This mission is quite important, this is to be the starting stage of an invasion force on the Eurasians, and the hopeful downfall of Stonehenge and the Eurasian capital. The ground forces are being debriefed on their mission as we speak. They are to get onto the land by sea, and then secure the surrounding area. There are only three beaches there, which have been named: Gamma, Delta, and Omega beach. They are heavily guarded by Tanks, Pillboxes, SAMs, AA guns, and a few enemy planes"

"Our fighters need to protect these soldiers to the extent of their abilities, the casualty rates cannot be too high, or else we'll never be able to attack the capital. There are possibilities of enemy bombers in the area. Delta beach is also under the firing zone of a group of Howitzers presumed to be in the area, while Gamma beach has a series of winding paths behind the mountains near the beach, they are used to transport reinforcement SAM's and Tanks"

"Leading the ground forces in the Gamma beach will be Sergeant Suzuhara, Delta beach will be lead by 1st Lieutenant Dickson and Omega beach will be lead by Sergeant Krane. There will be 9 small squadrons made of 3 planes each. 3 squadrons will be sent to each beach. Once one beach has been secured the 3 squadrons must move on to another beach that is still fighting. Keep your wits about you during this mission, and don't let your guard down"

"The mission squadrons will be named and positioned as such:

2nd Lieutenant Nagassi-Indigo Squadron-Gamma Beach

1st Lieutenant Ikari-Knight Squadron-Gamma Beach

Captain Tak-Raptor Squadron-Gamma Beach

1st Lieutenant Renne-Dune Squadron-Delta Beach

Captain Reins-Storm Squadron-Delta Beach

Major Gonzalez-Meca Squadron-Delta Beach

1st Lieutenant Aida-Blade Squadron-Omega Beach

Major Shamrock-Zeta Squadron-Omega Beach

Lieutenant Colonel -Lamda Squadron-Omega Beach

Meet with your squadron and debrief them on the mission. Take this mission seriously, if we lose this battle we will not be able to win the war. At the moment we are outside of Stonehenge's, put your concern on the weaponry being used on the beach at that moment and remember what your main mission objectives are. The mission will start in 2 hours, get set up and begin to debrief your wingmen, That is all. Dismissed."

Shinji and Seer were one of the first to leave the room, they then went towards the hangars where their new planes and their wingmen were supposedly. Once finding their squadron names, they met their wingmen. Seer's wingmen was 1 woman and a man. The woman was a US American with black hair and green/blue eyes named Meryl Riker. The man was Mexican, named Gerardo De La Buen, Jerry for short, he was a tanned man with short black hair and brown eyes.

Shinji's wingmen were a little different, he had a woman and a man as well. The woman was Jessie herself while the man was named Sean Dekker. Sean was a blue eyed, blonde haired man, with a medium build. But he seemed to be a little emotionless and indifferent about anything that happened to him.

Shinji's plane was changed to F-15's while Seer was given the F-18 for battle. Their wingmen received the same planes and both teams were now ready for the mission ahead of them.

"Knight lead, this is Sky Eye…we have confirmation of enemy fighters in the vicinity of Gamma beach, Sergeant Suzuhara is calling for cover, head there and give them your support"

"Roger that Sky Eye, Knight squadron is on the way" "Knight lead, a transmission coming in from Echo lead, I'll Patch it through"

"This is Sergeant Suzuhara, Echo lead, of the ground forces on Gamma Beach, where is the fighter support, Sky Eye?"

"Sky Eye here, sit tight, Squadrons Knight, Indigo and Raptor are on their way"

"What do you mean sit tight!? Do you have any idea what we're going through here!?"

Shinji decided to increase the speed of his F-15 thus forcing his wingmen to increase their own speed. "Knight lead to squadron, Check left!" Knight squadron immediately did a turn to their left and changed their heading in order to reach Gamma beach directly.

"This is Knight lead to squadron, focus on the destruction of the enemy ground forces, if any planes show up, give me a call and a position, and I'll handle it, move it!"

Knight squadron then split up and began to attack the many tanks and pill boxes that were on the beach.

G. Forces "We're taking heavy damage on the Western side, Alpha group, move away now! Air Support the Western side is under heavy fire coming form the pillboxes, take them out!"

"Indigo Squadron here, we'll take care of this" A female voice said as a trio of F-14's made their way towards the area that needed help.

Shinji skimmed the ground while firing at a howitzer and a pillbox, he then locked on to a tank and fired a missile. All of the targets exploded with ease as he pulled out and circled around for another run before Jessie called in. "Knight lead, this is Knight-2, my radar shows an enemy plane coming in towards my area"

"This is Knight lead, I copy, I'm on my way" Shinji immediately did a U-turn and made his way towards the area where Jessie was currently fighting. Shinji called in once he reached the area "I have a visual on the enemy, confirmed F-18, engaging"

The F-18 suddenly turned away from Shinji's F-15 and increased speed in order to get away. Shinji increased his plane's speed as well in order to match the F-18's and gain on the enemy slowly. Once Shinji had the plane locked on, the enemy tried to do maneuvers in order to lose the lock on, but to no avail as Shinji fired his missile.

"Fox 2!Fox 2!"

An explosion sounded high above the ground, and the roar of a plane was soon heard shortly after. "Yup, he sure has gotten good" Touji whispered to himself, although he could barely here from all the rain and machine gun fire.

"Tom! I want all of the teams on Gamma beach to check in and give a status report on their soldiers" "Yes Sir" Tom immediately pulled back a bit in order to reach the radio that was being sheltered, although very little, by the rain. "This is Lieutenant Tom Maine, second-in-command of Echo group, all teams check in and give report on soldiers, starting with the Alpha team"

Tom then huddled in order to listen to the responses, once the last team checked in, he reported to Touji. "All teams accounted for, but the Sigma team lost some soldiers in the last charge" "Tell them to join up with the nearest team, and find out when the equipment we need is landing" "Yes Sir!"

Touji was kneeling down behind a small barricade, he then knelt up just a little bit and aimed his M-16 rifle towards the enemy soldiers crawling towards their barricade. He opened fire and killed all the ones in that spot. "Well Tom?" "The equipment will be here in a few minutes, but our position is still not secure enough for a landing" "Tell that to our Air Support, make them focus on the Pillboxes and--"

Touji stopped because in the distance he heard a whistling sound "Everyone get down!" 2 seconds later a mortar hit the ground and the sand erupted near the spot where one of their barricades lay. "Tell them to hurry up, we need to move away from this mortar fire and get that equipment ASAP"

"Knight lead, this is Tom Maine. Focus on enemy pillboxes and tanks that are in Center Gamma beach. The area must be secure for the equipment necessary for the final charge, do you copy? Over…" "This is Knight lead, we're on our way, just hold on for a few seconds"

Tom looked towards the sky and began to pray, then soon after another mortar hit the ground near one of their soldiers. He was blown away from the blast, Tom went to check on him and found him dead. Tom sighed and continued to pray.

Then the sky roared again and soon after the pillbox and the tank that were attacking their position exploded. Touji gave a yell in triumph before calling out "All right, Echo team, move forward!" The sound of choppers also hummed in the distance but the fight wasn't over just yet.

"Shit!" Seer immediately pushed his aircraft down and dodged a missile that was sent from an enemy fighter before he suddenly righted his plane and fired a barrage of bullets towards the enemy. His bullets hit the cockpit and thus the enemy plane exploded. "Confirmed kill for Storm lead, boss are you all right?"

"I'll be fine, have you confirmed the location of the howitzers yet? I don't know how much longer those ground forces can last" "Location confirmed at Area 2 in the center 10 clicks north of the beach"

"Roger that, you two head back to the beach and take out those tanks, I'll handle the howitzers" "Roger!" Seer changed the heading of his F-18 fighter plane and headed towards the area, at the same time he switched his secondary weaponry to a long range napalm bomb.

"I sure hope these things do what their supposed to, cause I only have two chances at this" Seer was whispering to himself as he came near the howitzers. "I confirm the howitzers, must be 10 of them, at least. Getting ready to drop the bombs…Pickle! Pickle!"

"Howitzer group, report!" "We haven't been spotted yet, and our firing has continued towards the enemy, no other problems"

"Understood keep your eyes open" The soldier nodded and walked away towards his Howitzer. "Keep it up!" "Roger" a few seconds later they heard the gun fire coming from one of their AA guns. Then an explosion came and the AA gunfire stopped immediately, then the roar of a jet plane came above them.

The soldier was about to give the order to retreat when another roar soon came. Once it passed over there was complete silence for a few seconds.

Then an explosion came from the first of the howitzers, the explosion sent out a wave of flames and began to spread. Each of the howitzers that the flames touched, exploded almost immediately. Then another bomb hit the ground and the rest of the howitzers began to explode. The soldiers also began to burn, and the howitzer group was turned into nothing more than ash.

"Target hit, the group of howitzers are down in flames! Bravo team, how's the battle going?" "We're seeing the diminishing use of the artillery, looks like we're in the safe zone, but the pillboxes and tanks are still causing a minor problem" "Roger that, we're on our way"

Seer immediately pulled his F-18 away from the smoking ruins, and headed towards the beach. He hoped that Shinji was doing as well as he was on the battle field.

Shinji pulled away from the beach as soon as a SAM missile locked on and fired. "Knight lead! Break left!" Shinji did so and barely dodged the missile that was aimed at him. "Thanks Indigo lead"

"Not a problem, just buy me a drink when we get back" "Consider it done" Shinji then skimmed the ground again before he fired on the SAM that targeted him, it soon exploded into pieces and Shinji continued to attack any other enemy ground forces.

"Air Support! This is Lieutenant Maine, our radar shows multiple SAM transports, AA guns, and Tanks going through the mountain pass and headed in this direction. We need you to take them down before they reach the beach, Alpha group already had a visual of a tank before it was destroyed, our equipment is almost here, just give us some more time"

"Knight lead here! We'll hold them off long enough for you to prepare…Knights 2 and 3, come with me, we'll destroy those transports and give the soldiers some free time"

Sean answered first "Roger Knight lead"

"I'm with you, boss" Jessie finally replied

The three soon came together into a small V-formation before heading towards the mountain pass. Once in position they lowered their altitude and tried to lock on to any ground targets, but it proved to be difficult with the mountain pass.

"This pass is to thin! I can barely get a lock on, and I don't know if I can hit them with the missile!" Jessie's outburst proved to be true for the other two pilots, Shinji then pulled up and headed towards the beach. "You two stay here and do what you can to destroy the ground forces, I'll handle anything that gets past you"

Once Shinji reached Gamma beach, he saw helicopters landing and deploying soldiers, and quite a few tanks. "Sergeant Suzuhara!" He called through the radio, when Touji answered Shinji continued "We're not going to be able to keep the tanks away, the pass is to thin to get a good shot in, I can handle the ones that get here, but you should be prepared"

"Roger that Knight lead, our tanks are just about ready, we'll position the men so that we can have the advantage, everything else around here is cleared and secured"

Shinji nodded and sighed as he began to circle around the exit of the mountain pass. Shinji's radar soon picked up one of the enemy ground forces, he then pulled away and moved towards the exit of the mountain pass at a slow speed. Before anything could exit the pass there was a sharp turn there, when they appeared either Shinji or the ground troops would fire.

Whoever fired first didn't matter, it was that they had to fire and keep them away before all their hard work went to waste.

Shinji continued to get closer and wait, until a tank suddenly came from around the corner and turned. But the nozzle was already aimed towards Shinji. His eyes widened as he suddenly pulled the trigger and fired the missile, and the tank fired its cannon. Shinji immediately pulled up as he heard an explosion.

The missile was destroyed, along with the tank's bomb. Shinji's plane was unharmed, and the tank was soon destroyed by a rocket launcher coming from the ground troops, Shinji sighed in relief as he continued to circle around once more, hoping for a better approach to the enemy.

Touji quickly reloaded his rocket launcher and looked towards what was left of the enemy tank. It was nothing more than a hunk of junk but another transport could drive around it. Touji aimed towards the entrance just as one of his own tanks drove until it was right beside him. The top opened to reveal another soldier. "Sir! The group inside this tank has been designated to be under your tank command!" Touji chuckled and nodded.

Touji got into the tank as fast as he could, he really didn't like to command a group inside of a tank. He would have taken a single-manned assault tank over this any day. But order's were order's, so he entered and began to give out his orders.

"Move the tank forward at medium speed for 5 seconds. Aim the cannon towards the exit of the mountain pass! Keep eyes on radar and visual contacts of the enemy, on my mark, you will fire." Touji kept his eyes into the other visual scope in order to look towards the exit.

His orders were carried out efficiently and the tank was in position to fire on the first enemy it came across.

5 seconds later, the tank fired and hit its target.

Seer sighed as he looked over the beach, it was secured and there were barely any enemy fighters in the sky. But those were being handled by the other squadrons. "Meryl, Jerry, stay on my wing"

"Roger Storm lead" "No te preocupas jefe" (Don't worry boss) Seer shook his head. Understanding Spanish was no problem, but Jerry should begin to speak English a little more often, it would help Jerry himself, than Seer.

Seer began to circle around the beach as he waited for his wingmen. They appeared and then Sky Eye called in "This is Sky Eye AWACS to all fighters. The three beaches have been secured, but radar has confirmed 5 A-10s heading towards Delta Beach. All squadrons head over there immediately and destroy those A-10s before they destroy our troops"

Seer immediately locked on to the position of the 5 A-10s. The A-10s were presently in a V-formation but were separated enough that they could scramble at any moment. Seer lead his group towards the A-10s at top speed. On the way, they met up with Shinji's Knight squadron.

"Knight lead, good to see you made it!" Seer called out as he looked over to the other jet through the cockpit and waved. Shinji waved back as he answered "Seer, you'll never change" Seer laughed and sped his aircraft up.

"Let's take these planes out, we'll accomplish this mission and get a drink, how's that?"

"Sound's good to me, Storm lead"

Knight Squadron and Storm squadron were soon met up with Indigo Squadron and its Mi-2000s, Zeta Squadron with its F-22s and Blade Squadron with its F-14s.

"Kensuke! Nagassi! And Shamrock! Keep together and don't let any of the A-10s get away" Shinji was the one giving out these orders, while the other fighter planes simply followed. "This is Blade-2, sure am glad you two made it" Shinji began to wonder who was speaking but realized quickly "Glenn? Is that you?" "That's right"

"This is Nagassi, we need to focus, so don't start socializing now, we need to survive this first" Meryl wanted to speak up but decided against it as soon as Seer called out. "I have a visual, confirmed 5 A-10 bomber-planes heading our way"

"Knight lead here, this is where we stop them, split up and pick your targets, the escort can't be too far behind, so keep an eye out!"

The 15 fighters immediately split apart and began to fly in an arch towards the enemy planes. The A-10s only began to react at that moment.

"White squadron, take evasive action, we only need to hold out until the escort arrives, along with the Yellow Squadron. They won't survive their attack" "Commander! They've just gone behind us, their following in pursuit!" "What!?"

The Lead A-10 immediately did a nose dive in order to try and lose the enemy behind it, but the A-10 wasn't very fast and had to depend on maneuverability. "All fighters, keep your planes away from the enemy"

"This is White-3, I have one right behind me! I can't shake him!" "Calm down pilot, they can't be that good, just keep your mind on the training"

The captain then looked towards White-3, just in time to see him turn into a ball of fire, the winning fighter was an F-18 that suddenly pulled up and went after the other fighters. Another plane was suddenly blown up, this one was to the opposite side of the captain, it was shot down by an F-15 plane.

"We can survive them long enough to destroy the beach, hang on men!"

"This is a lost cause for them" Glenn said suddenly as he piloted his F-14 behind an enemy A-10, his co-pilot, Lily answered "Yeah I know what you mean……you have a lock on, fire!" Glenn did so and destroyed his target.

"How many left?" He called into his com-link. "None" Nagassi answered as soon as she fired her own missile and hit the enemy on the left wing, the plane then spiraled right into a mountain.

"This is Storm lead, we've handled the escorts that were trailing behind, I think we can call this mission a success" "About time, I'm getting close to ¼ left in my fuel" Sean said over the radio. Shinji agreed and was about to pull his plane over to change heading and head to the carrier, when Sky Eye called in.

"All fighters, planes have shown up on radar, their identity is unknown, check it out and confirm this visually, proceed with extreme caution, and make sure you all go."

Seer sighed, "Guess we still aren't finished" Shinji chuckled "That's right…All fighters group together and head towards the location given to us"

Shinji began to lead his own squadron and saw as a few other squadrons joined his formation, Seer had something similar. They were now two formations of V. Being led by Shinji and Seer.

"This is Indigo-2, my co-pilot says that there's radar contact at the moment…they are there, and heading straight for us" a few more seconds passed before Seer called out "Storm lead here, I have a visual, they're 5 planes…yellow noses and tails"

"The Yellow Squadron" The voice was coming from Sky Eye, then Seer continued "The planes……don't look like anything I've ever seen before"

Shinji looked over in order to check and realized that they were planes that hadn't been seen by anyone. They seemed new, probably a prototype. Nagassi called in "Guess they decided to test these planes out on us, well let's show them" "Hold up!" Shinji yelled out "If they would send prototypes to fight against us, then they're expecting a lot from these things, which means that if they work, they must be very good, be cautious, do NOT let your guard down"

Seer nodded as he called through the com-link "I'll have my wingmen stay with me, that'll leave 12 flying, everyone take a wingman and fly out with them. Protect each other, understand?"

Seer then flew forward with 2 planes following behind him. They headed towards the Yellow Squadron by arching and then following them. "Storm lead, give us a description of the planes" Sky Eye called out, Seer responded "They look like F-14's but bulkier and with single piloting. They wings also move in order to help with the speed, they also have cannons below them, I suppose this is they're weaponry"

Suddenly the 5 planes scrambled and headed in many different directions. "Oh Crap!" Seer yelled out as he found that one of the planes were now behind his squadron. "Storm Squadron scramble!" After giving the order the three planes split up, but the Yellow squadron plane continued to follow Seer.

"Damn! Going after the leader" Seer then increased the speed of his plane and tried to outmaneuver it. But the other plane simply followed Seer wherever he went. Then, it fired a missile, which in turn split into many missiles. "Oh Shit! Concussion missiles" Seer began to roll over to the right before he pulled up suddenly and raised altitude.

There were 6 missiles, 3 of them flew off and missed when Seer pulled up suddenly, but the final three were still on his tail and too close to dodge. Then they were suddenly shot down, and Shinji's F-15 showed up suddenly. "gasp gasp Thanks for the save" "Don't mention it, now to get these bastards"

Shinji immediately began to follow on of the enemy fighters. But they moved with incredible speed and maneuverability. Shinji took a while before he was able to lock on. But once he did "Gotcha" He fired his missile and the plane in front seemed unaffected before the thrusters on the enemy fighter's back were suddenly pulled to its front and it rolled away from the offending missiles.

Then the cannon on the bottom came out in a hand and a free hand came on the other side of the plane. It had transformed and now it was hovering and firing missiles and bullets at Shinji from a stationary point. "What the hell just happened!?!?"

One of the other enemy planes decided to do something similar and fired on Glenn's F-14. "Shit! I can't dodge the bullets and the missiles!" Glenns cockpit suddenly broke and Lily squealed slightly before going silent. Glenn's eyes widened "Lily…Lily answer me…Lily!" Glenn couldn't turn around to look but he hoped that she wasn't dead, she then coughed suddenly and began to breath in rasped breaths.

Glenn's eyes began to water "You BASTARDS!!!!!!" "Hold it Glenn! If she's hurt, you need to take her to the carrier ASAP, we'll need to retreat soon anyhow, you just get out of here and we'll cover for you!" It was Seer who called out and Glenn gulped before he nodded and pulled his plane away from the battle field and towards the aircraft carrier.

One of the planes tried to follow but Shinji was able to shoot at it in order to stop it from moving any farther. "Nu uh" he said "That's as far as you go!"

Seer was able to fire another missile while the plane was transformed. The plane then faced the missile and its cockpit then pulled down to create, what looked like a chest, making a head come out on the top. In the end the plane looked like a humanoid robot. Then it began to shoot at the missile and destroyed it.

"It can transform again!" Seer yelled out as he pulled away. "How many transformations can this thing have!?" Shinji shook his head "We're not going to last very long if we keep fighting"

Sky Eye decided to call in at this moment, "The Beach has been loaded with AA guns and SAMs, begin your retreat to the carrier, use the after burner's just get away from them as fast as possible.

Seer nodded as he called out "All right, Shinji and I will cover for you. Everyone get the hell out!" All the planes began to leave while Shinji and Seer fired their missiles and guns towards the enemy. Nagassi and Meryl decided to stay and try to help.

Once the others were safe enough away, they made their own retreat. They sped up together and the 5 enemy planes followed while firing. Only 100 kilometers from the beach and Meryl was hit suddenly by a few bullets. One of her engines were hit and he had a bullet go through her shoulder.

She began to bleed, but then she began to sob hysterically. Seer couldn't look away. "Meryl! Meryl, calm down, just raise your speed and keep going, you're going to make it" Meryl continued to sob and sob, and the blood kept going out. She then heard over the radio, "Meryl, if you keep crying like this, you won't make it, you'll survive don't worry"

Meryl began to calm down when her plane was suddenly giving the warning that she was being locked on. Then, an enemy plane fired a concussion missile. "Meryl! You have to dodge it, do it now!" but Meryl couldn't move. Her life began to flash before her eyes as she saw 6 white dots on her radar screen come closer and closer. She then closed her eyes and whispered "Jonathan, I'm coming"

Then…

"RAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Another plane suddenly appeared and shot down all the missiles before flying right beside Meryl's plane. Then a man in a British accent spoke "Are you all right?" "Thomas, are we ever happy to see you!?"

Suddenly, an explosion came and Meryl began to scream. Only 5 of the 6 missiles were destroyed, but one of them hit Meryls right wing. She then began to scream as she spiraled to her doom over the ocean.

"Meryl! Meryl! Eject! Pull the Eject strap! Meryl, for the love of god, please! Pull the strap! EJECT!!!!" Finally Meryl stopped crying. She looked below, grabbed the lever that said Eject, and pulled it as hard as she could with her good arm.

The cockpit suddenly came off and Meryl was sent flying over the ocean, then her parachute came out and she slowly came to the ocean water.

"This is Carrier Granite, we see the parachute, we're sending the rescue team"

G. Forces "There they are! All right men, open fire!"

The ground then began to light up as missiles, and gun fire erupted and headed towards the yellow squadron. The planes that escaped soon made a quick turn and opened fire in order to pressure the Yellow squadron. Those planes soon had no choice but to back up and fly away.

Thomas was running down the corridor, soon followed by Seer and Shinji. They finally entered a room where the black haired pilot of an F-18 slept peacefully. Thomas quickly went over to sit by her side and waited until she woke up.

Once she did, she looked over to see Thomas, and Seer standing over her. They both suddenly smiled in relief as soon as they noticed that their comrade-in-arms was just fine. Thomas smirked "You worry me" Meryl sighed and looked straight at Thomas "You're too soft"

Seer chuckled, then noticed that Shinji wasn't in the room. He looked down the hall but couldn't find him. He concluded that Shinji split up from them after running for a while.

That assumption was correct as Shinji was looking for another friend of his. In a different room, Glenn was sitting besides the girl named Lily. Shinji knew that Glenn would need some help, and Kensuke wasn't going to be able to make it there for a little while. Lily had green hair just like Glenn, she was awake and Shinji could see her gray eyes.

They both looked back to see Shinji standing at the doorway. He was panting hard as he looked over at Glenn and Lily. Shinji then took a seat and sat down on it, continuing to pant.

Glenn stood up and was besides Shinji holding out his hand. Shinji looked confused for a moment before he stood up as well and shook Glenn's hand. Glenn then spoke "I am in your debt. If you hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have gotten here on time and I would have lost my sister"

Shinji blinked before he looked at the girl then back at Glenn. Seeing the resemblance, Shinji nodded and Glenn continued. "I wish to be in your service, I'll be under your command and take your orders, please!"

Shinji sighed as he scratched the back of his head. The decision was ultimately not his. Not even Seer had that kind of power. Sure, they would both be promoted by the end of the day but it didn't make too much of a difference in power.

Lily sighed in her bed as she began to nod off to sleep once more. Kensuke soon appeared and slapped Glenn right on the back. Glenn stumbled before he smiled at his CO.

The battle was over and the ISAF forces had won. But the next battle would soon appear and they wondered if they were ready.

Preview: The name's Seer. Well, it seems that I've been promoted to corporal while Shinji has finally become Captain. What's more is that a new squadron has been made with 6 ace pilots. Me and Shinji included. They'll also be giving us all a new plane that has passed the testing part. And we'll be taking them on a test run into a natural fortress, but Stonehenge's firepower is in range. And what!? I get shot down!? Come see the next chapter on Winged Men

Short ending I know. But I'm working on it and a few other fics at the same time. Gasp Stress! Anyways, please review, and check on my new fic. If you know Now and Then, Here and There…..well I don't know if you'll love the fic but it was hard work. Although it isn't complete just yet. Anyhow I'll you all later
