Here's it is everybody. The chapter that you've all been waiting for. Let you know, the ending will be differently than in the movie. Here's chapter 40 everybody.
Chapter 40: The Final Battle.
GhostEye gives the thumbs up to SkyEye, notifing him that the virus has been uploaded.
"Delivery complete. Clear to engage." SkyEye said.
"Delivery complete. It's a go. It's a go." EagleEye said.
Brian heard SkyEye. He has a lock on the City Destroyer.
"Mobius 1, Fox Three." Brian said.
Brian fires a 4AAM long-range missile towards the ship. The missile is being tracked on radar.
"Gentlemen, this is it." SkyEye to his new AWACS friends, as they look closely as the missile approaches the ship.
"Come on. Come on. Come on." Brian said.
Suddenly the missile explodes, but unfortunately, the City Destroyer's defensive shield activates, preventing the missile from hitting the ship.
"God." Brian said.
"Dang it." Drake said.
"Virus ineffective. Disengage. Retreat immediately." SkyEye ordered.
"All aircraft, disengage. Rear flank, follow suit." Thunderhead said.
Everyone, including The Galm, Scarface, Razgriz, Garuda, Pennant, the other Emmerian ace squadrons, and other Mobius pilots starts to retreat and turn back. Brian however keep flying towards the City Destroyer.
"Hold on, Command. I want another shot at it." Brian said.
"Mobius 1, I strongly recommend you disengage." SkyEye said.
However, Brian this time ignores SkyEye before saying...
"Mobius 1. Fox Three."
Brian once again fires another 4AAM towards the City Destroyer. Brian, Donaldson and all the AWACS operators tracks the missile closely. The missile gets closer and closer until a miracle happens. The missile actually passes through the point where the shields would have been and the missiles slams into the ship's hull. A direct hit! Brian grins under his mask and visor. Everyone starts cheering for a short while.
"Direct hit!" Donaldson said.
"That's a hit. all aircraft, you're clear to engage!" SkyEye ordered.
"We're going in. All aircraft, take point." Brian said as the other planes gets back in formation.
"Cipher, Fox Two!" Drake said.
"Blaze, Fox Two!"
"Garuda 1, Fox Two!"
"Scarface 1, Fox Two!"
"Mobius 1, Fox Two!"
"Windhover, Fox Two!"
"Pennant 1, Fox Two!"
Every aircraft fires a missile. All the missiles hits the City Destroyer, causing explosions all over the ship and setting fires. Drake then notices smaller objects heading towards them. He realized what they are.
"Alien craft approaching!" Drake said.
At that moment, thousands of alien Agile Fighters are now firing their green plasma laser beams at the attacking aircraft.
"Evasive manuvers! Mobius 1 to squadron leaders, evasive manuvers!" Brian ordered.
Everyone starts breaking formation to avoid the alien's Agile Fighter laser beams, which they were able to shoot down a CFA-44 and a Harrier.
"Time to dive into fireworks!" Larry said.
"Let's give 'em hell!" Cipher said.
"Razgriz, break!" Thomas ordered.
"Break off, Scarface Squadron!" Andrew said.
"Prepare to engage!" Brian said.
Brian gets a radar lock on Agile Fighter and fires the missile. The missile heads for its target and destroys it! An alien kill!
"All right, Mobius 1, here we go!" Dean said before setting his sights on a Agile Fighter. "All right, I got you now! Pennant 1, Fox Two!"
"Mobius 4, engaged!"
"Edge, engaging!"
"Archer, engaging!"
"Avalanche, engaging!"
"Talisman, engaging!"
"Let the golden king smile upon us, Talisman!"
"Payback's a jerk, ain't it?" Dean asked.
The final battle has began!
Meanwhile, back at the Mothership. Jason and Guy has complete the first part of their.
"Okay, job's done. Let's go home." Guy said.
"Glady." Jason said.
As Jason tries to fly the Agile Fighter, he can't move it.
"What's up?"
"We're stuck."
"What?"
"It's not responding. It's stuck."
"Then try again."
Jason tries again, but it came the same results. Meanwhile, the alien supreme commander sees a Agile Fighter budging and emmitng sparks at the clamps. The alien taps on a console to check on that particular craft. After a few minutes, the alien click on the console, which causes the window's doors to open. Jason sees this.
"Hey, what the heck are you doing?"
"It's not me. They're overriding the system." Guy said before seeing that the windows are opening. "Oh...crap! Um...hide." Guy said as he and Jason gets out of their seats to hide so that the alien supreme commander can't see them.
Back at Earth, near Stonehenge, the battle has began, as aircraft and alien ships are engaging each other in a massive dogfight around the City Destroyer, as it slowly approaches Stonehenge. Drake was engaging a group of craft.
"Cipher, Fox Two!"
Drake shoots a\two missiles one destroying one craft and the another destroying the other. Drake then goes full thottle and fires his 4AAMs and destroys four alien craft head on.
"Just like the good time, huh, buddy?" Larry asked.
"You said it! PJ, look after us." Drake said.
Meanwhile, Thomas was grinning, now this was more like it!
"I have a lock...Fox Three!" Thomas said as he fires 6AAM missiles at a group of alien craft, destroying them all.
"That's more like it. Get 'em Kid!" Bartlett said.
"Captain Chopper, if you're here, please look after us." Grimm said.
"How would Chopper fly in this battle?" Blaze said.
"I don't about you guys, but how bout the enemy ace pilots that we shot down before? How would they fly in this battle?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah, I'm thinking about Yellow 13 since today's been 11 years since I shot him down over Farbanti." Brian said.
"Yes." Blaze replied.
"I thought so." Grimm said.
Meanwhile, the Garuda Team were flying together. The two Emmerian aces were doing great shooting down the Agile Fighters while at some times, shooting missiles at the City Destroyer's hull. But in some cases, William needs help from his allies.
"Allied attack!" William ordered.
"Windhover here, roger that. Target confirmed. Supporting Garuda Team's attack." Windhover said.
"Blue Max, initiating attack." Blue Max said.
"Target confirmed. Shifting to attack support role." Serac said.
"This is Sky Kid. Here goes." Sky Kid said.
"This is Blizzard. Backing up Garuda Team." Blizzard said.
"Target acquired. Commencing attack support." Avalanche said.
"Roger that. Saker launching an attack." Saker said.
"Supporting Garuda Team's attack. I'm breaking off boys." Lanner said.
"Bandit sighted. Shifting to attack role." Red Baron said.
Meanwhile, the Scarface Squadron was also destroying the invaders. The three Flanker pilots were using their 6AAMs to their advantage.
"This is Phoenix, I just bagged another one!" Andrew said.
"This is Slash. I got one on my tail!" John said.
"Edge, Fox Three!" Nagase of Scarface said.
The 6AAM managed to get the Agile Fighter that was after Slash.
"Thanks, Edge." John said.
A group of Erusean pilots against the invaders.
"This is Black 9, he's on my tail!" an Erusean pilot said.
"Victory here will come at a high price!" another Erusean pilot said.
"I got you! You ain't getting away!" another Erusean pilot said.
"Blue 2, bagged one." another Erusean pilot said.
"Good job!"
The battle became more intense as both the aliens and human forces were shooting each other down.
"Sorry guys, gotta bail out!" A Emmerian pilot said.
"Kvant , Fox Two" A Yuke pilot said.
"Mobius 5, incoming enemy!" Mobius 8 said.
"This is Mobius 2, bandit is down." Mobius 2 said.
"Let's just get this over with." A Emmerian pilot said.
"Throw him off. Break hard!" Another Emmerian pilot said.
"I won't let them eliminate mankind. All units, we can't leave until all enemy alien craft are shot down." A Belkan pilot said.
"We're making one pass at a time. Fly hard, shoot straight." Another Belkan pilot said.
"Taking these aliens out ought to pretty up my kill score." A Ustian pilot said.
"They're not here to keep us at bay. This is kill or be killed." Another Ustian pilot said.
"This is the perfect chance to improve our battle record. Let's go." a Yuke pilot said.
"Darn, Voskhod 4 didn't last a minute against them!" another Yuke pilot said.
"Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! This is Red 9! I have no control! Ejecting!" a Erusean pilot said.
"Viper 7, Fox Two!" a ISAF piot said.
Stingray Squadron were bombing the top of the City Destroyer and using the famous GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon.
"Time to introduce these aliens to our BRRRRTTT machine!" Whipray said.
"You got that right!" Sawfish said.
The A-10 pilots started firing their missiles and their cannon, making the famous BRT noise, destroying alien attackers and droping bombs on the top of the alien craft.
"Launching missile! Time to dance with the devil, alien invader!" Stingray said.
Meanwhile, pilots are gonna need help from Stonehenge.
"Requesting backup. Shoot them all down." an ISAF pilot said.
Meanwhile, operators of Stonehenge are aim their turrets at the City Destroyer.
"Roger that. Commencing bombardment. Allies, fly clear." a Stonehenge operator said.
"Attention all aircraft, incoming from Stonehenge." SkyEye said.
"Drop below 2,000 feet, SkyEye?" Brian asked.
"Yes, but you'll have to get below that attitude if you or other aircraft are inside the blast zones. Those zones will be displayed on your radar." SkyEye said.
Stonehenge starts firing at the City Destroyer, doing some serious damage to the hull, as well as shooting down Agile Fighters in the process. However, it will cost the turrets. At the base next to Stonehenge, civilians are running for their lives as a Agile Fighter squadron is approaching the facility with deadly intentions. Bishop, Amber and Claudia were among those running for their lives. The Agile Fighters starts firing their green plasma laser beams at Stonehenge ruthlessly. At the base, the aliens destroyed RVs, vehicles, and any AA guns and SAM positions that were firing back, setting of explosions. At the circle, the aliens fired at the turrets, dismantling some of the cannons, also setting of explosions. The cannons were still putting up a fight, shooting at the apporoaching City Destroyer and near by Agile Fighters.
"Protect the S.T.N." a Erusean pilot said.
"Just keep shooting!" a Stonehenge operator said.
"Keep up that barrage." Mobius 8 said.
Meanwhile, back at the air battle, everything was getting intense. A Agile Fighter had managed to shoot down a Belkan MiG-29, however, an Emmerian CFA-44 shot that fighter down thanks to its EML railgun weapon. A pair of Osean ADF-01 Falkens fired their TLS laser weapons at the hull, damaging it, or shot down the alien craft. ADFX-01 Morgans fired MPBMs at the huge ship, and the explosions rip out large pieces at the hull. Despite the intense damage, the City Destroyer is still continuing to approach Stonehenge. A Emmerian CFA-44 fired a missile at the City Destroyer before being chased by an alien craft. A Ustian Morgan fired a MPBM at the same time before another Ustian Morgan, an ISAF X-02 Wyvern, and an Osean Falken approach the ship.
"Domino 7, Fox Two." the Osean pilot said.
"Pennant 5, Fox Two." an ISAF pilot said.
"Savage 10, launching burst missile!" an Ustian pilot said.
All three pilots fired their weapons. The missiles hit the hull before the MPBM sets of a massive explosion, causing damaged to the hull and destroyed alien craft that were in the range of the explosion. The ship is now nearing its target. The AWACS are now knowing that the battle is now starting to no longer turn in their favor.
"We're running out of missiles, sir. We're not causing enough damage. It's settling directly ove rus." GhostEye said.
The City Destroyer is settling over Stonehenge, as the facility is in ruins and burning, and most of the turrets are disabled. Two Su-27s from Yuktobania's Kvant Squadron were chasing a Agile Fighter fron underneath the ships. As soon as they passed the facility's jammer system, the ship's panel doors at the middle of the ship starts to open revealing a familiar blueist-greenist light over the jamming facility in the middle of the Stonehenge circle. SkyEye knew what was happening.
"Attention all aircraft. The invaders are preparing to fire their primary weapon!" SkyEye said.
"Then let's take it out before it takes us out." Brian said as he breaks right with an ISAF F-16C and an Belkan Su-35.
The three pilots reached the underside of the ship, seeing the panels opening.
"Target at 12 o' clock." Brian said.
The battle under the ship was more intense. Lots of aircraft and alien craft, along with plasma lasers were everywhere on the way to the alien laser weapon.
"My God, they're everywhere." an ISAF pilot said.
"Viper 2, bandit on our tail! They're locked on!" Brian said.
"I see 'em!" the ISAF pilot said before his F-16 gets hit by the laser beam killing him.
"All right, squadron leaders, I want weapons check." Oka Nieba said.
"Mobius 1, this is Donaldson. You're outta time! You've gotta disable it now!" Donaldson said.
Meanwhile, the ship's weapon is starting to open up. Brian gets into firing range.
"I'm in range. Locking on. Mobius 1, Fox Two!" Brian said before firing a sidewinder.
Brian's missile heads for the alien weapon. Everyone watched their monitors closely, hoping the missile will hit the target. After a few seconds, the missile didn't hit its target. Instead, it hit one of the large door panels.
"That is a negative impact. That is an N.I. Negative impact. I'm out of missiles, but have one SP weapon left. Saving it." Brian said before turning his attention to the Belkan Su-35 pilot. "Buzzard 2!"
"I'm on it!" the Belkan pilot said.
Before Buzzard 2 can get a lock on, an Agile Fighter fired at him and killed him instantly. Brian moved before the alien craft can collide with him.
"Dang!" Brian muttered.
Suddenly, Drake, Larry, Andrew, Thomas, William and Marcus gets in formation with Brian.
"What's the situation?" Drake asked.
"That is the situation." Brian said pointing at the alien laser weapon. "If the invaders fires that weapon, we lose and it will be the end for us."
"GhostEye, you think that weapon can be destroyed with a single missile it?" William asked.
"We all study some footage that were capture before their initial attack. Looks like its gonna take more than one missile hit to disabled it." GhostEye said.
"And we can't hit it minute after minute." Andrew said.
"I got it! Blaze to SkyEye, I have an idea." Thomas said.
"Go ahead." SkyEye said.
"With one more aircraft with us, we should be able to hit that weapon with our missiles, but the missiles need to hit it simultaneously." Thomas said.
"You can?" SkyEye said.
"Just like destroying the Yuktonbanian radar network during Operation Fork Dance, right Captain?" Archer asked.
"Yes." Thomas said.
"Let's do it!" Brian said.
You're all out of time! Get your butts out of there!" Donaldson said.
"We're not done yet!" Larry said.
"Get as far away as you can!" Donaldson said.
"Doesn't anyone have one SP weapon left?" Brian asked.
"Sorry I'm late, Mobius 1!" Dean said as his X-02 flew pass the Aces. ""Kinda got hung up back there."
"Pilot, you armed?" Brian asked.
"Armed and ready, sir. I'm packin'." Dean replied.
All AWACS operators were confused on who this guy is.
"Who is that guy?" Thunderhead asked.
"Put him on speaker." SkyEye ordered.
"Pilot, identify yourself." Bishop asked.
"It's me. Dean Allen, sir. I told you I wouldn't let you down. Just keep those guys off me for a few more seconds, will ya? Dean said.
"Okay, Mobius 1, Phoenix, Cipher, Pixy, Blaze, Talisman and Shamrock, until you separate and position youselves, take flanking positions. I want you all to look after this guy until he joins you all." Oka Nieba said.
"All right, boys, let's give Mr. Allen some cover. Gentlemen...let's plow the road!" Brian said.
Brian, Drake, Larry, Andrew, Thomas, William, Marcus and Dean started firing their machine guns, destroying a few Agile Fighters that were trying to go after them.
"All right, Aces. Let's split up and position ourselves around the weapon and in front of the panel openings. All other aircraft at the underside of the ship, clear out and lure the alien fighters away from us." Brian said.
The eight pilots split up. all facing in each side of the weapon, so that their missiles can pass through the openings of the panels and straight for the laser weapon. Minutes pass by and the aliens are starting the process of charging the weapon. The bright blueist-greenist light starts appearing in the middle of the open ship while eight triangle tip structures started moving towards the light, but the process is slower thanks to the virus.
"I got a lock." Brian said.
"Locked on!" Drake said.
"Locked on." Larry said.
"I got tone." Andrew said.
"Radar lock!" Thomas said.
"Target lock." William said.
"Locked on!" Marcus said.
"Locked on." Dean said.
The laser beam is shot to the jammer, but the charging process is not complete yet. The lights flickered in the operations room.
"Now!" Thomas said.
"Fox Three!" the eight pilots said.
The eight missiles heads for the laser weapon. The light gets brighter as the The eight moving structures move closer to the weapon.
"Go to hell, alien jerks!" Drake said.
Suddenly, the eight missiles pass through the openings and impacted their target simultaneously, just as the weapon was about to release the laser pulse. Because of this, it has cause the weapon to explode in a massive fireball, ripping pieces of the hull out and starts a firestorm inside the ship, causing more explosions, ripping the City Destroyer apart. The alien City Destroyer has been shot down!
"We did it! Blaze, your plan worked! We freaking did it!" Brian cheered.
Everyone starts to cheer as they receive the news.
"YEAH!" all AWACS operators, commanders, personnel, Bishop, and other soldiers cheered.
"YEAH! ALL RIGHT!" Donaldson cheered.
The Aces goes full throttle to clear the ship, as more large explosions tore the craft apart, which debris almost hit any aircraft. Afterwards, the Aces clears themselves out of the underside of the burning City Destroyer as it starts drifting away from Stonhenge and starts crashing to the desert, causing large explosions. Some other pilots starts cheering and fly in formation while others takes care of any remaining alien Agile Fighters.
"Now we know how to take them out, Donaldson. Spread the word."
"Get on the wire to every squadron around the world. Tell 'em how to bring those sons of guns down." Donaldson said as Morse code operators starts sending messages to other military forces on how to bring the alien ships down.
And that's the end of this great chapter. Since the Aces were able to deal the final blow to the respective superweapons that they faced. Why not to a 15-mile wide spaceship together at the same time, and with a new Ace pilot? I tried to make it longer but ran out of ideas. Anyway, please review :)
