Chapter 15B: Operation Bunker Shot.

The pilots of the Bone Arrow, Ridgeback and other squadrons of Task Force 118 arrived back at the base after completing one of the toughest operations they ever had in th war: Operation Bunker Shot. Despite a meteor strike from Ulysses from a space weapon during the mission, the UN forces has managed to successfully landed on the territory claimed by USEA. Anyway, after the usual post-landing checks, Daffy, Omega, Bronco, Zebu, Lexi, Lance, Fencer, Axeman, and other Arrowblades pilots heads for the debriefing room where Goodfellow is waiting for them and Tina waiting for Daffy. Goodfellow starts the debriefing.

"Great to see all of you back here. The landing operation was a success, albeit a costly one. It'll definitely give us the advantage as we commence operations across the Eurasian continent. Meanwhile, though, it' still slow going for the battle lines in western Russia, where a separate operation is currently underway. The Butterfly Master's craft were spotted over Moscow. We still have no idea where he's actually based, though. As for the space weapon we saw in acton, we'll brief you on what we know later on. For now, I want you all to take a well-deserved rest." Goodfellow said.

But before everyone is about to leave, Tina stops them.

"Hold it. Before you all leave, I believe I got a answer for Reaper." Tina said.

"What's going on?" Goodfellow asked in concern.

"I proposed to Tina earlier before the mission briefing, Goodfellow." Daffy said.

With that, everyone listens on as Daffy and Tina continues on Daffy's proposal earlier in the day.

"Yes. Of course I'll marry you." Tina said as she leaps onto Daffy and gives him dozen of kisses.

Everyone was happy for Daffy and Tina as Daffy places an engagement ring on Tina's finger. Even Lexi and the Ridgebacks were happy for the two ducks. For Daffy, he is the happiest duck alive. He will be spending the rest of his life with the woman he loves.

"Hey, everyone, how bout a party tonight. Not only this will be a party to celebrate our victory in Operation Bunker Shot, but also an engagement party for Tina and Reaper." Omega said.

"I say that's a good idea." Zebu said.

"I'm in." Bronco said.

"Goodfellow, what do you say?" Omega asked.

"I guess we can have a party. However, we'll have to throw the party after I brief you on the space weapon we saw in action." Goodfellow said.

"Seems fair enough." Daffy said.

With that, everyone prepares for the party. After a few hours of preparing, everyone has to report back to the briefing room for Goodfellow's briefing on the space weapon.

"All right everyone. I know how you want to get this party started, but right now, I have to brief you on the space weapon that we saw in action during Operation Bunker Shot. So, let's proceed." Goodfellow said as the projector loads up and loads the specs of the space weapon on the screen. "We've obtained detailed information on an orbital weapon called the OLDS. It's part of what they call the 'Shattered Skies Project'. It was created in order to keep the Ulysses fragments away from geosynchronous orbit range, but Wernher R&D secretly used the system to help them deploy a tactical weapon. The system uses lasers fired from satellites to vaporize the surface of orbital matter, using the resulting thrust to change its orbit. Instead of readjusting orbits to keep the Earth safe, they've rejiggered it to send the fragments crashing to the surface, in the area of their choice. They still haven't fully analyzed the effect of these orbital strikes. I doubt it's very accurate as a weapon yet. However, in theory at least, OLDS can be used to attack anywhere across the entire planet. We have Ulysses part two on our hands here. OLDS does have a safely latch of sorts which makes it impossible for the network to target manmade objects in orbit. However, it'll only be a matter of time before Wernher deactivates it. We'll be expanding the range of Operation Eternal Liberation. Campaigns are underway withi the Eurasian continent as well. The Arrowblades will be reorganized by squadron and will partcipate in ops across the entire continent. Any of you think you can top our ace? I look forward to seeing you try. Dismissed." Goodfellow explained while referring the ace to Daffy.

With that, everyone heads for the party to celebrate their victory and Daffy and Tina's engagement. During the party, they talk about the Ulysses and how it affected them upon see it raining down again, thus giving them flashbacks to 20 years ago.

Meanwhile, at the unknown location, a little girl is humming as a projector is loading as the man who gives the history lessons speaks.

"Well, you're sounding chipper. Something good happen to you?" the man asked.

"I finally found a decent opponent. That ribbon guy should provide plenty of fun." the girl said as she continues to hum.

"The Papillon Project...I think another page in history is about to be turned. Is there any way to solve the lag issues with data transfer, though? I'm sure you must feel cramped here." the man asked.

At that moment, the girl removes a device, which also revealed her identity. She is an anthro duck. She had white feathers, brown hair, black eyes, light orange beak, and she is wearing a purple outfit that runs up to her neck. Her name is Camilla and she is known as the Butterfly Master. Camilla then flip a switch to look out the windows to see the Earth from orbit.

"Not at all. I like it. I've got a front-row seat to the whole thing." Camilla said as she took out a pair of headsets of and continues to hum a song as her Papillon Project satellite, with the Butterfly emblem, continues to orbit the Earth.

Meanwhile, at another unknown location, a red light flashes as it shows a emblem. The emblem shows a red and black squared mobius strip.

That's the end of this chapter. Does the mobius strip sounds familiar to you? Anyway, please review. I would like to hear from you.
