Engaging the Hinds and Evac
Rushing at 200 miles an hour toward the Hinds, he soon spots them. Ron then pulls a wheelie and starts firing the .50 calibers. The results he gets are astounding. One Hind blows up in the air, given that the rounds had penetrated the fuselage and ignited the fuel inside. It's partner is slightly damaged, but still flight capable.
Putting the wheel back on the ground to steer, Ron then selects the phase-particle beam, setting the charge to maximum. When he hears the Hind right above him, he pulls another wheelie, locking onto the Hind's fuselage, hoping for the same results.
On the Hind, a crewman remembers what the cycle had done to it's comrade and elects to fire an RPG round at the cycle. To the crewman's horror, the rider had seen his action and put the wheel back on the pavement, intent on keeping the Hind away from the area around the mansion at all costs.
On the beach, Norman and Dr. Director hear War Bird's engines approaching along with Sand Hawk's. They are then puzzled when War Bird touches down and opens it's doors.
Bonnie comes out, runs over and says, "We couldn't just leave them there. They'd been through so much hell, that they couldn't take anymore."
Dr. Director asks, "Where's Ron at?"
"Distracting the Hinds. I think he nailed one, but he may need help with the other one. So I'm going to go back for him."
Norman nods and says, "I'll let him know you're on your way, Bonnie. Dr. Director, let's get our passengers onto the plane, pronto. Sand Hawk, go ahead and pull on in! We'll load the girls as much as we can!"
Sand Hawk gives him a thumbs up in reply and pulls into the cargo bay. Once inside, she gets out and starts strapping the dune buggy down while Norman and Dr. Director set up mattresses on the floor of the bay.
She then helps Jessica lift Lily out of the seat and sets her gently down onto a mattress. Jessica removes the vest so she can stretch her muscles and proceeds to disarm.
Norman goes to the Control Module and punches in his access code for the cycle's systems. "Street Hawk, this is Sky Base. Do you copy, over?"
"Go ahead, Sky Base."
"What's your sitrep?"
"As long as it doesn't become FUBAR, that's the main thing. Splashed one Hiney, and I'm working on the other one. I may need Hyperthrust."
"On it." He punches a code and gains clearance. "Cleared for Hyperthrust and counting. Five, four, three, two, one. Hyperthrust!"
On the cycle, Ron's having more luck in evading the Hind now that he is on Hyperthrust. In the sky above him, the Hind's pilot is having a hard time keeping up with him.
In Chinese, the pilot says, "That is some after-market modification, isn't it Chu?"
Chu chuckles and replies, "It is indeed, Comrade Chung. But we are better. Let's see if we can slow him down some, shall we?"
Chung chuckles and is about to open fire when a Maverick missile slams into the right-hand side of the Hind. They then hear a distorted woman's voice, full of anger.
"You're not touching him, you filthy piece of shit!" They look and see another helicopter, jet black with two gatling guns on it's belly and missiles on it's sides. Suddenly, they're being peppered by rounds from the gatling guns. Their windscreens are starting to spiderweb from the massive onslaught.
On the ground, Ron hears Hirotaka say, "Ron, meet up with us in the park and take yourself off of Hyperthrust before you get there. All passengers had been loaded onto Sky Base already and we're waiting for you to come home now."
"Copy that, Hirotaka. I'll meet you in the park." Taking himself off of Hyperthrust, Ron makes for the park while Bonnie continues chewing out the Hind.
"Don't you losers have anything better to do with time than harassing motorcycles? If not, then you're even more pathetic than the school leeches I've come across. Now those were the true losers. It just took me so long to see it. And guess what, you're right up there with them."
Before Chung can open fire, the helicopter speeds away from the Hind and he yells, "Come back and face me, cowardly woman!" Snarling, he makes his way following the helicopter, intent on blowing it out of the sky.
In the park, Ron's waiting for Bonnie's arrival in the clearing when he hears the helicopter begin it's landing. Shortly, the interior lights can be seen as the door is now open. Hirotaka steps out and is waving his arms.
Getting to the helicopter, he pulls into the back and they both strap the cycle down before Hirotaka returns to the front of the helicopter.
Meanwhile, at the Government building, the Chinese Premier is pondering what he could do to make his position appear friendly. He had read the reports concerning Wang's mansion and the actions of the intruding GJ aircraft. He then shrugs and says, "Might as well go live and say that the attempt had failed, as our forces are far superior to anyone else."
He calls a press conference together in five minutes and begins. "My friends, an attempt to remove the criminal Lily Mach by a mercenary force has met with a tremendous failure. According to our sources, all members of the unit had perished when their vehicles were destroyed. I will give out more details as they become available. Any questions?"
"How long ago was the attempt?"
"Actually, it's still ongoing. But no force can withstand the might of the Chinese people. Which is why they'll be dying here, very soon."
"Premier, according to witnesses, a motorcycle was able to bring down a Hind by firing machine guns from it's nose. What do you make of it?"
"Those witnesses are sorely deluded if they believe that such a weapon can be mounted on a motorcycle. Especially on it's nose."
"The same witnesses also say that a dune buggy and a helicopter are with the motorcycle. Is that true, or are they deluded on that front as well?"
"Of course they're still deluded. I mean, there's no aircraft that can transport a helicopter, a motorcycle and a dune buggy. It's just not possible. What's even more, if a helicopter had been flying overhead, we would have heard it and it would have been shot down. Any further questions? This press conference is at an end."
Back in the park, Bonnie is lifting War Bird out of the clearing when the radar picks up the Hind coming at them. She snickers and says, "Too damn slow, boys." She then says, "Ron, you better strap in."
"On it." Once he's strapped in, he says, "Ready, Bon-Bon."
Grinning, she then activates the jet thrusters on the helicopter, heading away from the Hind. As the helicopter flies, she makes the call.
"Picked up Street Hawk. Go ahead and evac, Sky Base. ETA, two minutes. Be advised, I have a hostile slow mover on my six. I'll have to take care of him before we do anything else."
Norman replies, "Read you loud and clear, War Bird."
Removing his helmet, Ron picks up a headset and asks, "How's Lily, Norman?"
"As well as can be expected, given the circumstances. She took a nasty shot to her shoulder, but other than that, she's going to be fine. Our other passengers are fine as well. I've got some friends in the State Department. I'll do my best for them, that's all I can promise. But given what Jessica had translated for me, those girls have a good chance at asylum in the States."
Suddenly, the helicopter is rocked by gunfire from the Hind. Angry, Bonnie snarls, "I just waxed this baby last week! Now those whack-jobs want to ruin it? Those shitheads will now pay for that."
She switches over to the Chinese frequency, turns on the translator and says, "Hind, you just made a big mistake. How about a little game of 'Follow the Leader'? Does that sound good to you?"
The Chinese pilot replies, "Prepare to lose, bitch."
Grinning savagely, Bonnie looks over at Hirotaka and asks, "Ever see the movie 'Blue Thunder', Hirotaka?" When Hirotaka nods, she goes on. "I was thinking we could pull a loop and then we can wax this guy."
Hirotaka nods in agreement and she says, "Ron, strap in tight. We're going vertical with a twist."
Two minutes later, Ron replies, "Ready Bonnie." Bonnie grins and she activates the jet thrusters again.
She then counts, "One, two, three!" She pulls up on the yoke and the collective pitch at the same time, causing the helicopter to go into a massive loop. "Come on, baby. Make Mama proud."
On the Hind, Chung says, "That's not possible."
Chu snickers and says, "She did say a game of 'Follow the Leader'. Maybe this is part of it."
Chung shrugs and says, "It's worth a try." He gradually pulls up on the yolk, but doesn't get much of anywhere. Suddenly, they hear a voice dripping with contempt at their attempt.
"Oops, you blew it." Next thing the crew knows, they're being torn to shreds by rounds from the gatling guns on the helicopter. Both crew and machine die when the Hind explodes, it's wreckage hitting the ground.
On War Bird, remembering a classic line from the movie, Hirotaka says, adding something new to it, "Catch you later, losers."
On the beach, Sky Base is preparing to evac when Dr. Director is making her call. "This is Lead to GJ Rescue, ready for evac. Request fire support."
"GJ Rescue to Lead, roger on request. ETA, ten minutes."
"Roger that, GJ Rescue. Lead out." She turns around and says, "We've got damn near perfect conditions here. War Bird is inbound, which means we can head on out of here."
Norman nods and heads into the cockpit. Upon arrival, he powers up the turbofans and rotates the VTOL jets into liftoff position. Within five minutes, War Bird appears and hovers over the beach, covering Sky Base's liftoff. Once it's lifted off, both air vehicles make their way for out of China.
Suddenly, they hear a voice yelling in Chinese. Norman activates the translator circuit so they can understand it. "Attention, unidentified aircraft. You are instructed to land immediately. Unidentified aircraft, where are you going?"
Chuckling, Norman replies, "Chinese air control, this is Sky Base along with War Bird. We'd like to thank you for an interesting trip to China. But now we gotta go home."
"Negative! You are going nowhere Sky Base and War Bird! Land now or else!"
Bonnie's voice comes loud and clear, saying, "This is War Bird. You do not give me or Sky Base orders, asshole. We go where and when we wanna go. Any interference and we'll be more than happy to give your 'masterful' pilots a massive case of death."
At that, both air vehicles make their way toward their rendezvous with the GJ flight, which is about to start hovering in wait for the rescue team to arrive.
On War Bird, Bonnie puts the helicopter on autopilot, removes her helmet and rubs her neck, with Hirotaka doing the same to his. So far, they hadn't come across any hostiles during their exfil of Chinese airspace.
Casually, Bonnie checks her weapons systems and finds that she only has one hundred rounds remaining for the gatling guns and only two missiles, one Stinger and one Maverick. She then checks her fuel and sighs.
"We only have one hundred pounds of fuel remaining, guys. Unless we can get a mid-air refuel, we're going swimming."
All the thruster activity had caused the fuel supply to become gravely low. Suddenly, the radar picks up two groups of aircraft. One from behind, one from the front. The front group is too far away to be identified, so she guesses who the rear group is.
"We've got Mig-28s. Norman, get them out of here. We'll hold them off as much as we can. We're almost out of fuel anyway. So we might as well go down fighting."
They then hear an unexpected voice. "GJ jets, advance and give Sky Base and War Bird cover."
Dr. Director asks, "Who is this? Pilot, squawk ident please."
"This is Colonel Brian Mach, United States Air Force on loan to Global Justice, Dr. Director. I understand that the mission was successful."
Cheering, Bonnie screams, "They're ours!"
Turning her attention to Colonel Mach, she replies, "That's affirmative, Colonel. Right now we've got Mig-28s on our asses and I'm running out of fuel. I hope you have a portable gas station with you."
Colonel Mach chuckles and replies, "Yes to the latter. As to the former, we are about to contact the aggressor and learn their intentions."
Turning his attention to the Mig-28s, he says, "Attention Migs, this is Colonel Brian Mach of the United States Air Force, detached to Global Justice. You are currently following GJ affiliated vehicles with GJ operatives and innocent civilians onboard into International airspace. Do you wish to engage?"
To his relief and disappointment, the Mig-28s bug out and he says, "I thought not."
He then returns his attention to War Bird and Sky Base, saying, "It appears that they do not wish to engage at this time, Dr. Director. I'm sorry about disregarding prior orders by going in, but I think it's acceptable in this case."
Dr. Director chuckles and says, "Quite all right, Colonel Mach. In any case, I'd like you to talk to a distant relative of yours. You have a niece, courtesy of your late brother." She nods Jessica toward the console and Jessica nods back.
On War Bird, Bonnie is piloting the helicopter toward the refueling boom and is greeted by a gravelly voice. "Welcome to Global Justice's mobile refueling platform. What's your pleasure for today?"
Bonnie chuckles and replies, "Jet fuel please, highest octane rating you got. Nothing's too good for my baby."
"Understood ma'am. If you will, please open your refuel door."
Bonnie pulls the proper lever and says, "Done."
"Just pull on up here and watch the lights. Red will let you know when you're on. That's right, you're doing good, ma'am." She then hears the nozzle latch on and then the fuel starts pouring in.
"Anything else we can do for you while you're getting fuel, ma'am?"
"Yeah. Do you guys do wax jobs? A damn Hind ruined the last one I did and I just waxed it last week."
"Sorry ma'am, but we can't carry wax here. It'll freeze in the cargo area."
Bonnie shrugs and says, "Oh well. I'll just have to do it when we get back home."
Meanwhile, Jessica and Lily are talking with Brian, pleased to know that Jesse still has a living family member. Whereas, Brian is ecstatic to know that he has a niece. He tells her stories about Jesse while she tells him about what she and Street Hawk did to Wang.
Chuckling, Brian says, "I wish I could have been there to see that, Jessica. I can hardly wait to hold you in my arms."
"Likewise, Uncle Brian. Likewise."
Norman notices his fuel supply and figures it'd be a good idea to go ahead and put some in the fuel tanks. He looks over at War Bird and sees it separate from the nozzle.
Like she's reading his mind, Bonnie says, "Go on ahead and pull in, Norman. The fuel is great."
Chuckling, Norman says, "Roger that, Bonnie."
Kim comes up, removes her helmet and asks, "Is it all right if I talk to Ron from here, Norman? If I don't get my daily dose of Ron-shine, I'll go nuts."
Norman nods and says, "Have at, Kim. Just save anything meant for between you two for later when you're both alone." Kim giggles at this and starts getting her Ron-shine.
