Chapter 57 Transferring the Mission
NMD1MU1: Edwards Air Force Base, California, USA February 11, 2012 9:00 am
"Why should you wake us up THAT early?" Trixie protested to Germany. It is because they were already awake by 3:00 am and have a practice on air combat maneuvers, especially in positioning for a missile kill. The KND, who are also well-verse on how to operate adult fighter jet equipment, taught them how to use the AMRAAM-120 and the AIM-9 sidewinders using the KND cockpit system in the P.I.P.E.P.O.D. modified to carry the missile on the end of the drill.
"Simple…" Germany said "…you must be transferred immediately."
"WHAT!?" The three kids yelled.
"It's a change of plans we made last night…" Germany said "…you must be trained much more quickly in Arizona by KND. In fact, your first sortie in your F-22 will be this transfer mission…"
"I just have a bad feeling that this is more than a transfer mission…" Tootie remarked.
Meanwhile…
Just as the three kids are preparing their clothes for the flight transfer, someone knocked on the room that they are sleeping. Trixie was surprised that no one was there. She closed it and the knock persisted.
"Great, who is this?" Trixie opened the door again and notices that no one is around.
"Look down here kiddo!" a voice said. Trixie looked down and she notices that it was Buck, together with two opossums. Trixie was about to shout when…
"SHHHHHHH!" Buck remarked. "These are my friends, Crash and Eddie."
"You almost gave me a heart attack." Trixie remarked. "What are you doing here?"
"Simple, to talk."
"Actually, we are here to inform you something about the wand's power, especially their story with concern with the Darkness…" Buck said.
"Actually, that was something that I want to ask…" Timmy said "…if the wands can't kill anyone, why did Britain said that our mission is to defeat the Darkness by killing it?"
"Alright, let me tell this straight…" Buck said "…Britain, Jorgen, and everyone else are saying that because of the fear they have with the Darkness. In fact, fear is the reason why this whole mess started, which started on distrust."
"What do you mean by that?" Trixie asks.
"It begins in a very long, long time ago…" Buck said "…at first, the Darkness is actually best known as the Kindness, a being created to generate peace all throughout the creation. He trusted the Creator very well, until a fateful day happen."
"What is that day?" Tootie asks.
"He talked to someone that changed his views…" Buck said "…who twisted his mind and conscience. On the moment he begins to doubt on his purpose, he turned into a very scary form known as the Darkness, which he is today. The Darkness believes that someone and he tested the truth of the Creator's rule by visiting fairy world in his scary form. The fairies, who are very unfamiliar with his new form, thought that he is an enemy and attacked him. This infuriated the Darkness and a war erupted between the two parties. That is the moment the Creator intervened and showed his might and power, ending the war completely. Both parties realized their mistake and as a result, both parties made a Fairy-ovenant."
"What is that?" Timmy asks. At that moment, Cosmo, Wanda and Poof appeared and Wanda remarked "WHAT? The Darkness and the fairies once did a Fairy-ovenant?"
"Yes." Buck said "In fact, that part is etched all throughout the Cave of Prophecy, on the deepest parts of the cave."
"But why didn't I saw that?" Timmy immediately asks.
"The part you saw is perhaps the part that describes the consequence of breaking the Fairy-ovenant. The fairies panicked so much when they learned of the fall of Wonder World, they no longer consulted Britain and found the Chosen One on their standards. They already forget the Fairy-ovenant they made on that day." Crash remarked.
"But what is a Fairy-ovenant?" Timmy asks them.
"Is it the process of taking a vow in which a new wand was formed, similar to how you do when you sign a contract?" Cosmo remarked "I mean, I know nothing!"
"For example, a Fairy-ovenant is done in marriage…" Wanda said "…in fact, our wands are the sign of that!"
"So, in that process, these wands are formed?" Tootie said, pointing to her bracelet/wand.
"Yes." Buck said "It's going to take a long process on how come the fairies forgot about the Fairy-ovenant, but with the help of the Creator, the Fairy-ovenant formed the four wands which is now present, which represented the following qualities as for both parties, especially the Darkness, would remember." Buck said.
"The Earth Wand represents the stony heart the Darkness has before the incident. The Fire Wand represents the fairies who fired the first strike. The Ice represents the misunderstanding both parties have…" Buck said.
"…and the most powerful of those meanings is the wind, the reason why Timmy is the target on the Darkness's first visit." Crash said. "The wind represents the power of the Creator, who stopped the war. As it was in the whole history of choosing, as Britain knows it very well, whoever the Creator chooses will determine who holds the other wands."
"Correct." Buck said "Under the Fairy-ovenant, both parties will act if and only if the provisions presented are violated: the fairies will use the wands to destroy the Darkness if and only if earth is threatened by the Darkness to be destroyed, and the Darkness can destroy the fairies if and only if the fairies are planning to defeat him even if he is doing nothing. Everything ended in a feast, with the Darkness turning temporarily into the Kindness. In order to satisfy the provision, the Fairy Council decided to guard the whole galactic sector of earth, sending nearly half of the fairies in this task. As a disguise, the fairies hide themselves as the stars in the sky, reflecting the light found on all the other stars in the universe."
"Alright…" Timmy said.
"But if the provision of this Fairy-ovenant is that, then how come the wands are used throughout history?" Trixie immediately remarked.
"That IS part of the provision." Buck said "The wands are not created without a purpose. In fact, the Creator created them to help move history in the right path. However, there are just times that events went horribly wrong that things have to be fixed…"
"For example…" Eddie said "…remember the Opium War incident? Britain withhold the wands from the chosen ones who was then killed. The Creator said to him that what he has done would lead to his nation to be on the verge of survival. That happened during the Battle of Britain, where Britain asks for forgiveness of what he has done…"
"And that is when the One who created the wands appeared to him and gave him the right to not only give the usual three wands from his own people…" Buck continued.
"…but add the fourth one." Eddie continued.
"Alright, I don't know what happened during that period…" Trixie replied "… but how is this related in the whole mess?"
"Actually, the reason why we are here is to give you a message from the one who created it…" Crash said "…he said that your mission is to give the Darkness one last chance by showing to him the Fairy-ovenant. He remembered that when Timmy saved the world last time. Now, with the three of you complete, you have to show to him everything to change his mind and turn his ways…"
"But what if he doesn't?" Tootie followed up.
"I'm afraid that there is only one thing to do…" Buck said "…I'll talk to you about that right after the Airwar…"
Moments later…
"What took you so long?" Germany immediately said as he saw the three kids walking with their full pilot gear (which is actually a white helmet, their bags, and the g-suits the other pilots wore) and their belongings. The g-suits are actually colored white with the US flag on the left chest side and a nametag on the right chest side.
"Well, we went on thru the commanders who said that we must used the standard-ish NATO g-suits!" Timmy protested.
"Of course they would…" Germany said "Your training does not involve using one…"
"If he just knows…" Trixie said to the others using her wand.
"Anyways…" Germany said "Your aircraft is parked there, guarded by the KND and their weapons. I don't have the time to look at their qualities, but KND just said to give the missile and cannon rounds and they will be the ones who will install it." The three kids went to their parked aircraft guarded by Sector V, with their 2x4 weapons out.
"Why are you wearing those ridiculous suits?" #2 immediately asks the three.
"We got no choice but to follow the adults…" Tootie said.
"We are expecting them doing that…" #3 said "So we made this for you!" #3 presented to them a flower-like pin which has three different colors. Timmy receives the red rose pin while Tootie gets the White-rose pin. On the other hand, Trixie receives the blue rose pin. The three kids pinned them on their g suits on their left chest side in symmetry of the US flag on the right.
"Wow, the pins all look cute on you three!" #3 said.
"Alright, what are these for?" Trixie asks them.
"Simple, they alter the g-suits you are wearing for maximum g-loading." #2 said "Of course, I made them!"
"Alright, let's just take off and go to Arizona…" #1 said. The three went to the cockpits of their R.A.P.T.O.R.S. and #2 made a note inside it.
"The wands will be the only way to activate the engines for safekeeping. As much as possible, DO NOT USE THE VERTICAL TAKE OFF AND LANDING FEATURE INSIDE AN ADULT AIRBASE!"
"Alright…" Timmy said thru his wand. The three turned their camouflaged wands into their handheld forms and placed them on the wand-shaped space of the cockpit found on the right side. Immediately, the engines went on and all system lights are on. The indicators found inside the cockpit are all simple, with no indicators for engine overheating but with a speedbar which acts like a thermometer with the indicators 'not flying', 'take-off', 'supersonic' and 'yeeha!'. There is a bank indicator and a false horizon equipped, alongside a compass. There is also a place beside the throttle saying 'boost in case of emergency' and trim wheels for trimming the elevators and the rudder. The stick is a KND-standard with 1 button. The helmets they are wearing are, of course, a KND standard and on the lower left side of their visor, there is a display of true airspeed, number of armament left, altitude indicator, and g-loading limit displayed. There is a radar screen on the top-most right corner. On the bottom right corner, there is another indicator stating the number of chaffs, flares, and, unusually, rubber band decoys, and below that is banking indicator and a virtual compass.
"This is way complicated that what I've expected." Trixie said via radio.
"But we don't have any indicator to activate our weapons system!" Timmy yelled. At that moment, there is a manual that suddenly flashed the screen and stated that the rest are wand-activated and voice-activated. There is a note stating that the plane also recognizes NATO call names.
"Alright, let's test this baby!" Timmy yelled.
"Permission for take-off." Trixie said.
"Permission granted, WT squadron." America said via radio. At that moment, the three takes off quickly, with Trixie going on first, followed by Tootie, then by Trixie. Sector V goes to their S.C.A.M.P.E.R. and also took off with them.
