To LooneyLooneyDaffyand my special guest Charlie Garland, thank you for the reviews. I really appreciate it. You can check my other stories (all taking place in the Shattered Skies Universe) as well, since there will be references from those stories to this story. Anyway, here's chapter 9.
Chapter 9A: Rescue.
It's been three weeks since the Bone Arrow Squadron's mission over the Comona Base at the West Indies, and for those past three weeks, the squadron has been preparing for the operation that will take place in Russia. For Daffy, he learns that the terrorist group is known as the Sons of Troia, and he knows that this terrorist group will be hard to stop. Anyway, Daffy, Omega, Viper, and Bronco were at the briefing room to listen to Goodfellow's briefing. The projector loads up showing the usual Arrows logo before showing the strategic map of the world.
"Right now, we've got a hostage-rescue operation taking place at the Wernher facility in Area R2M, southwestern Iyuli. It's being led by a team of regular military forces. The terror group we're up against is likely to stage a large-scale counterattack. You'll be providing close-air support, going in ahead of our commando forces to destroy surveillance sites. You'll also be responsible for striking the hostiles around the facility to ensure a smooth approach for our commandos. Once we've secured the nine Greymen hostages held in the central facility, we'll need you to back up the commandos as they pull out of the area. On this op, you'll be working alongside a UNAF tactical fighter squadron, the 'Ridgebacks'. Unlike you guys, they're about as elite a force as you can get. If we don't rack up more kills than they do, it's gonna impact my bottom lineāand thus, yours. Dismissed." Goodfellow explained.
"All right guys, let's show those single lines what we're made of." Viper said.
"Single Line?" Daffy said.
"That's their nickname due to their the single line they have on the back of their planes."Viper said.
"Oh. Well, let's get on it." Daffy said.
Afterwards, everyone heads for their aircraft in the hanger. Daffy aircraft is now a Russian Sukhoi SU-25 Frogfoot, an attacker aircraft. It was painted the usual Turquoise Russian Navy camouflage paint job, and of course, has the words UNF and the Reaper emblem. Afterwards, everyone took off for Iyuli.
