"Roger." I turn, heading for the rest of the group, barely moving along.

"Megalith, Blackwater, Darina International is in friendly hands. We aren't sure if the invading force is going to drop a huge bomb and destroy the base like Nerverak has done previously. There is also a good chance that they have MANPADs or self-propelled anti aircraft vehicles in the area around the base, this is completely cautionary,"

"Copy that. If we can't head back to base, what's our next stop? Somewhere in Emmeria?"

"It's only a preliminary measure, we'll cross that bridge when we get there,"

"This is Demo, uh, orders?"

Yuktobanian self propelled SAMs begin moving in on Darina while infantry mop up the remaining intruders.

A Yuktobanian mainstay weapons controller, Callsign idle comes on, "All pilots be advised, remaining enemy aircraft appear to be bugging out. Standby for confirmation."

"Alright."
...stuff. The realization hits me like a bomb.
"Get the self propelled SAMs out of there. They could be dropping a large explosive device not unlike the ones seen in Etral or Ramond."

I drop the remaining two CBU-97s over hostile light armor columns as instructed by the JTAC. Our ground forces establish a firm front line and halt the enemy advance.

"Swordsman, Pointer 1, there is no further tasking available. Thanks for the help, we'll take it from here. You may depart."

I release my center drop tank, swivel around and form up on Steele.

"Megalith, this is Swordsman, entering formation. I'm coming up on your starboard." I pull up to the right of the friendly F-16 and tip my wings in salute. "Blackwater, do we have any word from base about preparations for the rest of the wing to move out?"

"Swordsman, there is no plan to move the wing out unless this invading forces drops a huge bomb on the base like they have Ramonds, Etral, or Etral AFB. All callsigns, stay in the formation until we confirm that they are not going to blow up the base,"



"Uh guys, what bomb?" Rory asks nervously.

"Uh, with all due respect, I'm getting out of here if there's gonna be a huge bomb."

"It's not gonna hit u-"
Detonation. Darina International Airport was wiped off the map.
"Woah, stuff! What the hell? Was that the bomb?"
I maneuver my jet around in a split-s.
"Wow. I can never get over the power of that thing. Thank god it's not nuclear."

Danna watches out of the hospital doors as the airport blows up.

"What a load of pussies."

"Holy sh-" the explosion lights up my roosterpit. I exhale heavily into the microphone. All those people traveling abroad we're now a bunch of little pieces.

The war had now entered my homeland.

I stop and think for a moment. Oh god. Everyone there. The Yuktobanian soldiers. The civilians. The ground crew. James. The airport workers. They're all dead.
"loving HELL. WHY?"
I bang on my roosterpit glass.
"Blackwater, give us a casualty count ASAP."

shouldn't emmeria or whatever butt in
