Hello, everyone. Sorry for the long wait. I've been busy. Anyway, here's chapter 13 everybody.

Chapter 13A: Avalon.

It is March 3, 2020. It's been 7 months since the events at Tokyo, the formation of the Federation of USEA, and the formation of Task Force 118, and Daffy now being the leader of the Bone Arrow Squadron. For the past 7 months, Daffy's friends have been trained to be mechanics, but Daffy doesn't like the idea of Tina being one, and he hopes to at least find an easier job for Tina. Anyway, Daffy was talking to Tina in the hanger.

"So, Daffy, you're help me find a easier job?" Tina asked.

"Yes. I can't see you working as an aircraft mechanic. It's a hard job and I don't want to see you get hurt." Daffy said.

"So, how are you gonna do that?" Tina asked.

"I'll talk to Goodfellow. Maybe he can find something suitable for you." Daffy said

Their conversation was interrupted by Omega.

"Hey, Reaper. Goodfellow wants us in the briefing room." Omega said.

"Okay." Daffy said.

"Seems like you all got a mission to do." Tina said.

"Yes it is. Goodfellow is waiting for us." Omega said.

With that, Daffy and Omega goes to the briefing room to join up with Bronco, the Ridgebacks and other mercenary or privateer pilots of Task Force 118. The briefing room looks the same, but there was a difference. In the past 7 months since the Tokyo attack, the Bone Arrow and Ridgeback Squadrons need replacement pilots since Viper is retired and Slash was killed by a laser attack from the ace known as the Butterfly Master. The Bone Arrow Squadron has a new number four since Daffy became flight lead. He was a duck with grey feathers, black eyes, and an orange beak. As usual, Daffy doesn't know his name, but his callsign is Zebu and his aircraft of choice is the MIG-29 Fulcum. The Ridgebacks got their new number two since Lexi, known as Edge, is now replacing Slash as flight lead. Now all the pilots of the Ridgeback Squadron are rabbits. Lexi had tan fur, with white-colored fur cheeks, short blonde hair and black eyes. The new Ridgeback 2 is a rabbit with white fur, blonde hair and black eyes. His callsign is Lance. Ridgeback 3, known as Fencer, is a rabbit with peach fur, with white-colored fur cheeks, black eyes and brown hair. And Ridgeback 4, known as Axeman, is a rabbit with brown fur, with tan-colored fur cheeks, blonde hair and black eyes. Now the competition between Bone Arrow and Ridgeback will be more intense now that it will be a ducks versus rabbits Anyway, everyone took their seats and Goodfellow starts loading up the projector before starting the briefing.

"All right. Let's get this briefing started. A large-scale experimental missile site has been discovered in Area M3A, straddling the border between Russia and Mongolia. It's situated in the Avalon Dam, a facility under the management of Wernher Noah. Usean forces are gathered around the site as we speak. The dam lake has been completely drained, revealing the missile site and an array of anti-air installations. The gravity dam itself has been repurposed to serve as a de-facto fortress of concrete. Judging by the size and shape of the silos, we believe the site was built to handle ICBMs. To be safe, we've deployed an AL-1B missile interceptor in Russian airspace. However, we've been asked to neutralized the site before they can launch any ICBMs. The Arrowblades will approach from the Russian side through a canyon that leads to the dam site. Maintain a low altitude at all times, or else you'll be picked up on radar and become an easy target for long-range anti-air missiles. Stay at low altitude as you pass through the canyon. Once we arrive at the site, our ground forces will enter the facility and secure the main routes of passage into the silos. You will then use those passages to fly underground and destroy the missile facility. This operation will require extremely precise flying skills, but considering everything you've made it through up to now, I have no doubt about our chances of success here. I'll be expecting results. Dismissed." Goodfellow explained.

With that, everyone head to their aircraft. Daffy in his F-22, Omega in his Typhoon, Bronco in his F-16F, Zebu in his MIG-29, and the Ridgebacks in their ASF-X Shinden II's. They take off for Avalon Dam.
