Battle of Farbanti - Briefing

Cape Rainy Air Base

12:00 AM/PM.

18 September 2019

Alexa(Trigger's) P.O.V.

I was busy stretching my body with Lanzhu, Ayumu, Emma, Shizuku and Kanata, Eli and Haruka are helping us with our bodies too. Since the capture of this air base, I was eager for the final battle, but however, the job is not done yet.

Alexa: This... is... really... on... my... style...!

I was stretching on my back, while Shizuku was the sitting weight on my backside.

Shizuku: Wow! You definitely have an agile slim body!

Alexa: I used to be a good sports lady in a Osean high school before I joined the OADF.

Emma: So that's how!

And then, Yu arrived.

Yu: Alexa-san! I have some news!

Alexa: What is it?

Yu: Before the battle of Farbanti, we have procured you a plane! It's in the hangar!

Alexa: Really? Then let's go! Right after I have showered...

40 minutes later at the hangar...

Alexa: Okay, what kind of plane is under that canvas?

Yu: Well, Miyafuji and I have a present for you. After some cool missile and PSM upgrades on our planes, we have made the same missile and PSM upgrades on your new plane as well.

Alexa: Clever. And what plane is it on the cover?

Ayumu: Oh, well show you. 3, 2, 1, uncover it!

The flight engineers put the cover off and it reveals...

Alexa is shocked to see that the plane is...

Alexa: No way! An F-22 Raptor of my own?! And even with my favorite color?

Lanzhu: Correct! With the modifications from our country as well as the Scrap Queen upgrades! We even painted it with your own itasha and your name!

Alexa: Thank you so much for this present for me! *sniffle*

Kanata: Oohh! Don't cry! You'll love it.

Yu: You can use this plane on the mission in Farbanti. We made it just in time.

After reading the manual and a test flight, I was totally impressed with the modifications and the upgraded avionics and the high tech weaponry of the Raptor.

Alexa: That was awesome! Shioriko has one too!

Ayumu: Indeed! But we have some new stylish parts on that new plane.

Eli: With this plane, you have a chance against that ace!

Alexa: Mister X...

Lanzhu: Yes. That one.

Alexa: Also, I learned some of the history of this plane. Mobius 1 used this plane during the Siege of Farbanti in 2005.

Emma: Well seen.

Alexa: And tomorrow, it's my turn and make Mobius 1 proud. He defeated the Yellow Squadron included Yellow 13 with this aircraft. Mister X will see this plane as the best rival.

Yu: That, I can hope for it.

And on the fateful day...

8:30 AM.

Alexa(Trigger)'s P.O.V.

I woke up very earlier, and prepped my stuff and checked on my new plane.

Alexa: It's finally time... ...the fight for Farbanti is about to begin. And with my School Idol friends on my side, I won't lose this time against Mister X!

And then, Jaeger appeared.

Jaeger: Well, well, well. Ms. Hailstone. So you are the squadron leader will be flying with this plane, eh?

Alexa: Of course, Jaeger. If I have to be on equal terms against Mister X, this plane will be the ultimate counter against him.

Jaeger: You're correct. Also, Húxiān and I have also webcams and laptops too, so that we can communicate each other.

Alexa: Good. But, where did you two get at?

Jaeger: Miyafuji gave it to us as a present. Also, Miyafuji has called me that, if our Company Commander perish, she will takeover command of the LRSSG, while commanding her allied squadrons.

Alexa: I see, I still can deploy which girls I want to deploy right?

Jaeger: You still will. Anyway, with your new plane, we will finish this operation. I have to say it to you in person.

Alexa: Nice going for the Air Commander.

Jaeger: Indeed. I gotta go, breakfast is coming soon, and I want to taste those riceballs.

Alexa: See you around, Jaeger.

And after Jaeger left...

Alexa: All right, time to brushed up and get some breakfast.

After getting a decent breakfast, warmed up noodles, some nice beef and some healthy vegetables, like cabbage, on a breakfast. I'm going to take some training in the gym for a few hours and 4 hours later, it's time for the briefing.

Data Satellite link activated.

OBO: The operation to take Farbanti is about to begin.

This is the culmination of our work.

We need to capture the Erusean Forces General Headquarters in the South of Farbanti and end this war.

The plan is for our ground troops to attack Farbanti from both east and north, and the task fleet, with Satsuman support will attack from the south west and south east.

Combat Map reveals the map of Farbanti.

We will secure air superiority over the capital, while providing air support for our allies on the ground and in the water as required.

By all accounts, we expect to be an intense full-scale battle across land, sea, and air.

Also, the Sakamoto has arrived from the southeast, so should you need to replenish your ammo or make the neccesary repairs to your aircraft, the return line is in the north, or to the south, where the Sakamoto will participate in the battle, so to say, it can restock while fighting the enemy.

During the operation, Satsuman satellites will also moving very close on the capital, but they will stay away from the debris.

We will also be tasked with having to destroy the communications satellites that Erusea hacked.

As in the continent map reveals the debros of the destroyed satellites.

If we can take down the information communication system that we believe they have control over, it should plunge Erusea in chaos.

Our satellites can move in to the Usea continent, without worrying about glitching and errors on our Satsuman aircraft.

Anywho, once the capital falls, the Erusean military will be isolated and thrown into chaos, making it easier for us to end the war, however, for the Satsumans, their operations are not done yet.

However, that can't happen until the capital falls, so you guys and girls are the stars of this battle.

Erusea will fight like a tiger, but we cannot lose. We must seize the capital and end this war!

Good luck to all of you!

Briefing ended, and after leaving the briefing room...

Alexa: Okay, capture Farbanti and end the war, however, our mission is not over yet. We still need to sniff out where the Radicals got those weapons and drones from. But for now, I will enjoy the fall of Farbanti myself.

Jaeger: On that, this will be a nice story for my kid.

Alexa: I can hope for that. I have left the Osean Air Force for the Satsuman Air Force after the my court trail and my transfer to the School Idol Air Division.

I will live in a different way than I thought...

Back at Alexa's hangar, where her Itasha-made F-22A is stored there..

Alexa: It's almost time... I'll have to give it my all to finish this war.

Yu: We are all with you, Alexa, and which members are you call in to help?

Alexa: Well, this is gonna be a big battle, so all of us in thes base and evryone in the Sakamoto will participate, Karin will go too, but Kira will hold her position.

Yu: Got it, everyone of us in the base will join. And everyone except Kira will join the battle too. They are ready to takeoff any minute.

Alexa: Good. Here we come, Farbanti! Prepare for the ultimate School Idol attack!

End of Chapter 20.1

Next time, the battle!
