Hello everyone. LooneyAces here with another new story. This is sort of the continuation of my other story LOONEY TUNES: SHATTERED SKIES, except this one takes place in the year 2016. Anyway, because it takes place in the Shattered Skies Universe, Looney Tunes and its characters are own by Warner Bros. and Ace Combat is owned by Namco-Bandai and Project Aces. The fictional characters are mine though. Hope you enjoy.

Prologue: Operation Katina.

At the Pentagon at the US capital of Washington DC on June 2nd, 2016 , the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense were discussing a threat posed by a group of militants from the Federal Republic of Erusea.

"Free Erusea has attacked the United States and they have managed to capture a old military factory at White Valley Bay in Alaska." said General Milley, the Chief of Staff of the Army.

"Not to mention they also capture some facilites in Erusea." said General Dunford, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"Any word on the forces they have?" said Secretary Carter, the Secretary of Defense.

"They have a force of about 10,000 to 15,000 troops and are highly armed, including aircraft, ships, and artillery." said General Neller, the Commandant of the Marine Corps.

"What are we gonna do about it?" Secretary Carter asked.

"I think we should send some of our ships to shell their base of operations." said General Richardson, the Chief of Naval Operations.

"No, they may have their own ships there." said General Grass, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau.

"Don't we have someone who has a proposal on how to deal with this threat?" asked General Selva, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"Yes we do." said General Welsh III, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force.

"Send him in." General Selva.

With that, the Secretary order those who was guarding the door to let the guy in. He is a middle-aged man, stands tall and he has brown hair. He is wearing a USAF blues uniform proudly showing his display of ribbons and his three-star insignia and he's holding a folder full of files. He holds his hands in salute. The Chairman returns the salute.

"Mr. Secretary, this is Lieutentant General Edward Donaldson. He was the commander of the Mobius Squadron during the continental war." General Welsh said.

"General Donaldson, I understand that you have a proposal on how defeat Free Erusea." General Dunford said.

"Yes, Sir." Donaldson said.

"We would like to hear it." General Dunford said.

"Well, I did some research on locations where the militants are being deployed at in the nation. The Free Erusea force here in America are mostly comprise of former pilots of the FEAF. Now, I have come with a proposal on how to deal with these militants. The USAF will send a single aircraft, along with the support of a single AWACS will be dispatched to these various locations and engage with the forces of Free Erusea before heading to their main base in White Valley Bay. Afterwards, our troops will check that base and capture any surviving militants. Meanwhile, the Erusean Army and the US Army will battle Free Erusea forces at Erusea." Donaldson explained.

"Now what single pilot can single-handedly take on Free Erusea in one day?" General Milley asked. Donaldson smiled.

"Mobius One." Donaldson replied.

"Ah, Colonel Bugs Bunny. The Ribbon Fighter. I've heard about him. A key figure in helping our forces achieve victory during war. He served his country well, despite the incident over Charleston. Outstanding pilot." General Welsh said.

"Yes, I also heard that the Tactical Intelligence Department release and astounding report today." Donaldson said as he hands the report to the Joint Chiefs.

"Are you sure he has what it takes? It's been three years since his last sortie." General Dunford asked.

"I know Bugs. I believe in him. If it wasn't for him, this nation would have been under Erusean control, and Hugo Schmitz's fascist government." Donaldson said.

"Let's hope that he accepts this mission." General Dunford said.

"Wait, isn't he still attending Acmetropolis University?" General Selva asked.

"He's gonna graduate from that university this Saturday." Donaldson replied.

"And his F-22 Raptor is still at Shleisinger?" General Welsh asked.

"Have we contacted the Erusean government about the situation." Secretary Carter asked.

"Yes. The Erusean government and military are cooporating with us to deal with Free Erusea." General Neller replied.

"Okay. I'm putting the Air Force in charge of this operation. General Welsh, if Colonel Bugs Bunny does accept this mission, when should we begin the operation?" Secretary Carter asked.

"Since he's graduating this Saturday and he was currently a college student during the war. We'll begin the operation tomorrow. Since the ribbon insignia on his squadron patch represents his university, so why not represent not only his country, but his university one more time? Donaldson, contact Colonel Bertz and let him know about the operation and info." General Welsh replied.

I'm on it." Donaldson said.

"Wait, do we have a codename for this operation?" Secretary Carter asked.

"Yes. The codename for this operation will be 'Katina'." General Welsh replied.

Quick note. The Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of Defense are actually real people. Like I said, the Shattered Skies Universe is based on our reality. Check my profile page so that you can be reassured. Anyway, hope you enjoy the story. Please review.
