Here's chapter 21 everybody.
Chapter 21: The Truth Is Out There.
As the Aces escort Mother Goose One over the Atlantic Ocean, not knowing where they are going, Thomas was talking to the Captain of Mother Goose One regarding on any of the air battles against the aliens.
"You guys are not gonna believe this." Thomas said.
"What happened?" Grimm asked.
"Well, air battles, like the one in San Salvacion, has been repeated itself all over the world with the exact same results." Thomas said.
"Which is..." Andrew asked.
"All of them was one-sided. The aliens defeated us." Thomas said.
"What? How can these aliens defeated us so easily?" Drake asked.
"Well, you're not gonna believe this, but the aliens has their own fighters and they have shields." Thomas said.
"Shields?! Like we can't hit them at all?!" Drake asked.
"Yes." Thomas replied.
"Now what? We're screwed if we can't get pass their shields." Snow asked.
"I don't know, but we'll have to find a way, and fast." Nagase of Razgriz said.
Meanwhile, inside Mother Goose One, the leaders and the top brass were discussing about the alien invaders and how to defeat them.
"We've moved as many of our forces away from our bases as possible, but we've already sustained heavy losses." Bartlett said.
"I spoke with the joint chiefs when they arrived at Heierlark. They agree we must launch a counteroffensive with a full nuclear strike." Hurley said.
"Over Osean soil?" Wilford asked upset. "You're saying at this point, we should sacrifice more inncocent Osean civilians? Isn't that right?"
"Sir, if we don't strike soon, there may not be much of an Osea left to defend."
"As much as I hate to say this. Hurley is right. There's no other way to defeat the invaders as this point." former Osean president Harling said.
"Not to mention, we can get some advice from the Belkans since they have experience with nuclear weapons." President Forrest said.
Suddenly, an OADF officer came in looking horrified.
"Sir, they've taken out Heierlark."the officer said.
"What?!" everyone said.
"It's gone, sir." the officer said.
"My God. The Vice President, joint chiefs." Bartlett said.
"Mr. President, we must launch. A delay now for not Osea, but all nations would be more costly than when all of you waited to evacuate the cities." Hurley said.
"No. no. You're not going to launch nuclear weapons." Guy said who just showed up. You're going to kill them and us at the same time."
"You're our guest here." Bartlett said.
"Ever hear of nuclear winter? It's the end of life as we know it. Claudia, do you hear what they're talking about? Don't even think about it. It can't be allowed." Guy said.
"Shut up!" Hurley yelled." Captain, get him out of here!"
"Hey, don't tell him to shut up!" Chris said, who also justed appeared. "You'd all be dead now if it wasn't for my brother. None of you did anything to prevent this." Chris said.
"There was nothing we could do. We all were totally unprepared for this." an ISAF general said.
"Aw! Don't give me unprepared." Chris said.
"Come on, Chris." Claudia said trying to get him to leave.
"That report in the late 1960s. You had that spaceship." Chris said.
"Chris." Guy said.
"Yeah, that thing that you found in San Salvacion." Chris said.
"Chris, no. Not the spaceship." Guy said.
"Yeah. You had the spaceship, and you had the bodies. They were all locked up in a bunker. Where was that? Guy? Stonehenge, right? Stonehenge. The same railgun facility that Brian destroy during the Second Usean Continental War. You knew then, and you did nothing." Chris said.
"Sir, regardless of what you may have read in the tabloids, there have never been any spacecraft recovered by the Usean government." Wilford said. "Please, take my word for it, besides, Stonehenge is repaired, but there's no recovered spaceship."
"Uh, excuse me, Mr. President. That's not entirely accurate." an ISAF general said.
Everyone, including Donaldson, looks at him.
"What? Which part?" Guy said.
Back outside, Brian just received a transmission from SkyEye.
"Okay, everyone. We got a location to go to." Brian said.
"Finally, where are we going?" William asked.
"Oh. Wow." Brian said as he saw the location name.
