Here's chapter 5 everybody.

Chapter 5A: Lost Butterfly.

It's May 1st, 2019. It has been 11 days since Daffy has become a mercenary pilot for Arrows Air Defense and Security and 1 week since Daffy was deployed to Tokyo, Japan. Daffy has been getting used to the surroundings, the air base, the people, and the city of Tokyo.

Meanwhile, at a unknown location, a projector was turned on and it loads up before a man's voice is heard.

"It'll be twenty years to the day soon. The day the sky was ripped apart, and countless bolts of lights rained down upon us. I think this calls for a little history lesson. In 1994, a group of asteroids was discovered taking a long elliptical orbit around the sun. They were created when an unknown asteroid struck the 1986VG1 Ulysses, an asteroid in orbit around Jupiter. The orbit of these 'Ulysses asteroids' was on a collision course with Earth with an estimated 10,000 meteors set to strike the surface. Since there was no way to divert the orbit of each asteroid, construction began on a vast anti-air railgun network, a last-ditch effort to intercept and destroy the meteors. They built six facilities. The test unit Type -0, was built in China; Type 1 was built in America; and then four Type 5 units were built in Australia, Turkey, Namibia, and Argentina. In July 1999, the asteroids began to strike. Thanks to the railgun network, damage was kept to a bare minimum….only enough to destroy the entire world order. Never in its existence had mankind experienced such a catastrophe. It came to be called the Ulysses Disaster. The near-total loss of infrastructure led to economic chaos…particularly in the hard-hit Eurasian continent. To avoid total breakdown, the nations of Asia and southern Europe rearranged themselves into regional federations. Military budgets were slashed, and the federations poured most of their money into rebuilding. The depletion of energy sources brought on by the loss of territory soon proved to be a major problem, one that quickly led to an escalation in disputes over natural resources…" the man said before a beeping sound and the words sortie order appeared on the screen. "We'll continue this later."

Meanwhile, back at the base, Daffy was in a briefing with two people. Both of them are ducks. One of them was tall. He had black hair and eyes, white feathers, orange beak and he was wearing a green flight suit with a scarf around his neck and he is wearing eyeglasses. The other duck is about the same height as Daffy. He had black hair and eyes, tan feathers, orange beak and he is wearing a flight suit just as Daffy is.

Anyway, the tall duck with the glasses loads up the projector to show a strategic map of the world and then starts the briefing.

"All right. Time to start the briefing. We've got a new guy here today, but I'll have to cut the introductions short. My name's Goodfellow, and I'm your rep from the Arrows. As you know, Arrows is a mercenary force specializing in aerial warfare. Some people like to call us 'pirates'. I'd prefer they called us 'privateers', at least. We're being employed by the UN Security Council, after all. Anyway, the UNSC's Military Staff Committee just sent Arrows a request for deployment. It was originally going to be an escort mission for the UNF Pacific fleet stationed in Tokyo Bay, but that's changed. We now have multiple unknown UAV's flying towards Area J4E…Japan's former capital of Tokyo. In other words, right here. The UAV's are likely armed. We need them downed before they reach city limits. This'll be the first sortie for the rookie here, TAC name 'Reaper'. Here's your emblem. Omega from the Bone-Arrow flight will be supporting you on this mission. Follow his instructions. I'll be expecting results, you hear? Dismissed." Goodfellow briefed Omega and Daffy, who now has the callsign of Reaper.

Daffy and Omega rose from their seats.

"Welcome to Bone Arrow Squadron." Omega said in a British accent before leaving the room.

"Thanks." Daffy said.

Daffy followed Omega to the hanger, where their aircraft are waiting for them. Omega's aircraft is a EF-2000 Typhoon. Daffy's aircraft is a F-4 Phantom II. It was painted gray with a yellow strip on the top of the tailfin. On the tailfin was the acronyms UNF and Daffy's emblem, the grim reaper. Daffy's grim reaper emblem is also on the wings, replacing the traditional roundel. After analyzing his aircraft, Daffy takes off with Omega to stop the UAV's that are heading for Tokyo and his first combat sortie.
