CHAPTER 1: SKY KID CAF'E, PUB, & RESTURAUNT
I Have So Far To Go…
JOHN POV
After the air raid that liberated our town, everyone faced the tiresome task of repairing the damage done by the air strikes the I.S.A.F. squadron had executed. The worst loss was that of the hospital. The AA guns placed on the roof to protect it ultimately led to the hospital's destruction. During the air raid the gunners began firing at any and every plane that came into range. By doing this, however, they left many holes in their defense, holes that one plane took advantage of. A plane with a Ribbon insignia on its tailfin. Mobius 1. Once in range he let fall a bomb of some sort and destroyed both the hospital and the AA gun.
After the city had been cleared of enough rubble to allow a decent amount of people to travel again we reopened the bar. I slept there in an empty booth; I had nowhere else to go. My mother and father were dead, my uncle was gone… I didn't know what to do. So after a while of helping out around the bar I decided to ask Hanna's father if I could get a job there serving drinks and busting tables with Hanna. "I'll think about it." was all he said. A week went by and I heard nothing about my request then, " John, can I speak to you a moment. Hanna, please take care of things for a moment." Hanna nodded in reply and walked behind the register. The barkeep took me upstairs to the room I had seen him sending information to I.S.A.F. "I've noticed that you've been doing a lot of work around here, so…" "Yeah?" I asked. "I'll give you a job." he said. If not for the fact that I was in front of the father of the girl I had a crush on, I would have jumped for joy, but since I was I figured that that might not be a good idea. "Thanks, thanks a lot."
When we came back Hanna was standing in the middle of the bar, just staring at a group of five men who had come in. they were sitting in the corner booth, staring at the Yellow squadron's kill records that were marked up on the wall. It was then I saw what Hanna had been looking at. Four of them were wearing the same jacket that had the same insignia on the left and right sleeves. The insignia of a Ribbon. The last one seemed to be out of place, his jacket didn't have a ribbon insignia on it. The men with the ribbon insignias kept calling him Skyeye. I assumed him t be their field commander. These men were the Mobius squadron. They were the ones who had liberated our town, destroyed Stonehenge, and ended the war. It was then I saw the leader, Mobius 1. The pilot who had shot down Yellow 13.
It was strange to think that a man who seemed so calm and relaxed on the ground could be so relentless and savage in a combat aircraft. He just sat there, staring at Yellow 13's kill record. I think it shocked him to have shot down a pilot with such a high kill record. When I'd worked up enough courage to speak with him I walked over, intent on asking him about the battles he'd been in and what it was like to fly against Yellow 13, but when I reached the booth they were sitting at all that came out of my mouth was, "Excuse me, Is there anything I can get you?"
MOBIUS 1 POV
After entering the bar we went over to a booth in the corner and noticed some writing on the wall. I thought it was just a decoration until Mobius 4 took a closer look and said, "…Mobius 1, take a look at this…" He then pointed to the markings on the wall. When I got close enough to see what they really were I almost fell over. The writing on the wall was the kill records of the Yellow squadron. The Entire squadron had been made up of Aces, and then I came to a record that almost matched mine. The record belonging to one Yellow code-named, "Yellow 13." I whispered. The pilot that had been on hell of a challenge to take out. The leader of the Yellow Squadron. I sat there for a while, staring at the number of kills that each member of the Yellow Squadron had made, then I heard a voice that brought me back to reality. The voice asked, "Excuse me, is there anything I can get you?"
JOHN POV
He just sat there for a moment staring at the wall, when I spoke he jumped and turned to face me. He kind of stared at me for a moment and said, "Yes, two pitchers of beer and a round of whiskey shots. Thanks." Hanna and I went over behind the bar and began to get their drinks. "Hey, Hanna, just to be sure I'm not dreaming that is the Mobius squadron over there right?" "Yes, it is, they work for I.S.A.F."
