Britanina, 1944
after his encounter with whoever the hell that was, Wilson ran in to Erich in the hallway.
"Wilson, would you like to see something"? he asks me. I node my head and he tell's me to follow him to the hangar. once there he pointed to a large thing covered by a tarp. He pulled off the tarp to reveal a plane, one with black tulips painted on the front.
"wow, a plane, in a airplane hangar, that's amazing" Wilson said in a snareky tone.
"it's my plane you idiot" he says running his hand over his plane, the way he looks at it i swear he's looking at a former flame.
"aren't the black tulips Erica Hartmann's Striker art"?
"why most everyone compare me to her,i will have you know this has been my fighters nose art since 1941"
"if i recall i read that Hartmann's striker art has been that since 1941 as well, in stars and strips*"
Erich's face was contorted in anger
"why do you still have this anyway"?
"a good pilot always has his plane nearby" Erich stated proudly.
"how did you even get this thing here in the first place"?
"i had to sneak it in one part at a time"
OK, now that was some sense of duty. the plane was a Mf 109 sporting four deadly MG42s, it was an aircraft of war, meant for battle, not siting in a hangar collecting dust.
"are you even allowed to have this here"?
"Well...no but-"
"OK"
"wait, you don't care about this, Hito and James are on me about geting rid of it because she'll have my head if she finds it" he says suprised
"it's your plane plus i don't like her at all, she's a complete... well my mom would wash my mouth out if i said the next word, but you get he point"
"Come on, the others are going to be down here in a few, we mostly just eatt breakfast down in the hangar" he says asking me to help set up a few chairs and a large fold out desk, not the best thing to eat breakfast on, but better then nothing.
"Wait, what time is it?" the Liberion asked.
"it's around...5:23, why?"
"the witches aren't up"
"yes, most of them sleep in till 6:00"
"i have a crazy idea" Wilson said running out of the hangar and to his room.
...W...
Yoshkia Miyafuji was awaken by a loud blaring, at first she was scared it was the alarm for a Neurio Attack but is sounded softer, and more human made. whatever it was it scared her out of bed causing her to land on the floor of her room. she dressed in her morning robe and walked into the base's hallway to see that most of the other witches were now awake aswell.
"Yoshkia, do you know what that noise is"? Lynnette Bishop asked the Fuso girl as the noise raised and lowerd a note back and forth and then ceasing.
"is it...over" Yoshkia asked before shouting started up in the noise place. she looked out the window near the hangar to see four men in grey jumpsuit's around the flagpole, two were raising the flag, one man next to the pole had a bugle in his hands and the last was standing at attenition saluting the Allied flag they had raised at dawn.
The other three followed suit and rasied there arms to the flag.
"Wow that's amazing" Yoshkia exclamed in amazment.
"it's a flag raising, it's stardard military pratice on most bases, i only just noticed we don't do that here, we just raise it without a fuss" Lynnn said as a shape ran towards the first man and started yelling at him.
"Sanya is trying to sleep"! it yelled at the mans face.
"Oh...its Elia" she said as the Somous girl chewed the man out for waking her friend.
"Miss, calm down please" Hito aid trying to calm the young girl.
"i will not calm down, your waking everyone up and it's not even 6:00" she said pointing at the sun, it was only now starting to rise over the ocean.
"Ma'am, were soldiers, you can take away are guns, you can take away are unifroms, hell you can take away the fighting, but we will always be soldiers, this is what we do, i will never stop being a soldier, none of us will, is that clear" he said, the last part in a dark tone.
Eila felt a chill go down her spine, she new when she was over her head and backed off, walking away to be with Sayna.
the rest of the men looked at Wilson, even they had to admit, that had been uncalled for.
"what"? the Liberion said looking hurt
"Chap, that was cold" James said resting his hand on Wilson's shoulder. The soldier jerked to get free and walked away without a word.
"Elia, what was that about"? Sanya asked rubbing her eyes, the Orussian had walked down to meet the Somus outside and had ran into her on the front steps of the base.
"Sanya, just stay away from the guy, i feel something off when i'm around him, OK?" she said with a look of worry in her eyes. she didn't trust him further then she could't throw him.
As the morning started up and the bases crewmen and witches begun there daily duty's, a large straight black shaped flew in low towards them...
