RonaldM40196867: Hopefully there will be more stories.
lixiaofossil: I don't think it works like that.
Here's chapter 36 everybody.
Chapter 36: Engage the Enemy.
The radar officer gives the thumbs up to Shepherd, notifying him that the virus has been uploaded.
"Delivery complete. Clear to engage." Shepherd said.
"Strider 1. Delivery complete. It's a go. It's a go." Long Caster said.
Trigger heard Long Caster and Shepherd. He has a lock on the City Destroyer.
"Strider 1, Fox Three." Trigger said.
Trigger fires a 8AAM long-range missile towards the ship. The missile is being tracked on radar.
"Gentlemen, this is it." Shepherd to his officers as they look closely as the missile approaches the ship.
"Come on. Come on. Come on." Trigger said.
Suddenly the missile explodes, but unfortunately, the City Destroyer's defensive shield activates, preventing the missile from hitting the ship.
"God." Trigger said.
"Damn it." Talisman said.
"Virus ineffective. Disengage. Get your people out of there." Shepherd ordered.
"All aircraft, disengage. Rear flank, follow suit." Long Caster said.
"You don't have to say it twice. I'm out." Count said.
Everyone, including Mobius 1, Garuda Team, the other Emmerian ace squadrons and other Mobius pilots starts to retreat and turn. However, Trigger keeps flying towards the City Destroyer.
"Hold on, Command. I want another shot at it." Trigger said.
"Strider 1, I strongly recommend you disengage." Long Caster said.
However, Trigger this time ignores Long Caster and gets another lock on the City Destroyer.
"Strider 1. Fox Three." Trigger said.
Trigger once again fires another 8AAM towards the City Destroyer. Trigger, Long Caster, Shepherd and all the radar operators track the missile closely. The missile gets closer and closer until a miracle happens. The missile actually passes through the point where the shields would have been activated and the missile slams into the ship's hull. A direct hit! Trigger grins under his mask and visor. Everyone starts cheering for a short while.
"Direct hit!" Shepherd said.
"That's a hit. All aircraft, you're clear to engage!" Long Caster ordered.
"We're going in. All aircraft, take point." Trigger said as the other planes got back in formation.
"Garuda 1, Fox Two!" Talisman said.
"Mobius 1, Fox Two!" Mobius 1 said.
"Strider 2, Fox Two!" Count said.
"Shamrock, Fox Two!" Shamrock said.
"Viper 2, Fox Two!" Viper 2 said.
"Sol 1, Fox Two!" Seymour said.
"Strider 1, Fox Two!" Trigger said.
"Falcon 5, Fox Two!" Howard said.
Every aircraft fires a missile. All the missiles hit the City Destroyer, causing explosions all over the ship and setting fires. Mobius 1 then notices smaller objects heading towards them. He realized what they are.
"Bogies incoming! Here they come!" Mobius 1 said.
At that moment, thousands of alien attackers are now firing their green pulse laser beams at the attacking aircraft.
"Evasive maneuvers! Strider 1 to squadron leaders, evasive maneuvers!" Trigger ordered.
Everyone starts breaking formation to avoid the alien attacker's laser beams, which they were able to shoot down an Estovakian MiG-21, an Osean F-14A and a Belkan Harrier II.
"Let's give 'em hell!" Húxiān said.
"Sol Squadron, break!" Seymour ordered.
"Break off!" Omega 11 said.
"Cyclops Squadron, break off!" Fencer ordered.
"Here we go!" Sky Kid said.
"Prepare to engage!" Trigger said.
Trigger gets a radar lock on an alien attacker and fires a sidewinder missile. The missile heads for its target and destroys it! Trigger gets his first aerial kill on an alien attacker spacecraft.
"All right, Three Strikes, here we go!" Howard said before setting his sights on an alien attacker. "All right, baby. I got you!" Howard said before firing a missile and destroying an alien attacker. "Payback's a bitch, ain't it?"
The final battle has begun!
Meanwhile, back at the Mothership. Michael and Henry has completed the first part of their mission.
"Okay, job's done. Let's go home." Henry said.
"Glady." Michael said.
As Michael tries to fly the alien attacker, he can't move it.
"What's up?" Henry asked.
"We're stuck." Michael replied.
"What?" Henry asked, not believing what he heard.
"It's not responding. It's stuck." Michael said.
"Then try again." Henry said.
Michael tried again, but it had the same results. Meanwhile, the alien supreme commander sees an attacker budging and emitting sparks at the clamps. The alien taps on a console to check on that particular craft.
And that's the end of the chapter. Here we go! The final battle has began. And if you're wondering in terms of the in universe event in this time, Gryphus and Falco Squadron would engage a City Destroyer and its defenders that is heading towards Griswall. Anyway, stay turned for the next chapter and please review. :)
