"Oh, hey Lars. Haythem's co-pilot showed up. Want some tea?"

"It's sweet tea, and it's also good."
"Try some."
I point to the fold-table with the pitcher half full of tea.

"Copy. 070. Rejoining." A few minutes go by, the blips on radar grow closer. "Hey Steele, those bandits are trailing us." I tap the radar screen a few times.

Dan tells me a story how she was sent to a Neverak airbase as a PoW, but her brother (who is a Nerverak officer and a spy for the Cartelian effort) set her to fly ordinance to an 'airport'.

I hug her again.

"Copy that, lead them off. Change heading to 150. We'll engage on the count of-"
A missile warning pops up on my HUD. I bank hard right and pop flares and chaff. The missile barely misses my roosterpit by an inch, almost scraping the glass. It seems like it's going in slow motion.

"Iced tea? You guys sure know how to enjoy yourselves. I'll have some."

I pour myself a cup and take a swig.

"Man, this stuff is great. Really takes the edge off the heat."

"Oh SHI-" Steele's plane flies feet above mine and flies off into the distance. I push the power to full power and the afterburners kick in, increasing my climb rate drastically.

"Blackwater, Avenger 0-4, we've been engaged by multiple enemy aircraft. Requesting diversions for assistance."

I fly above Steele for cover.

Gojira · February 27, 2014, 11:12:39 PM

"Alright, you forgeter, you're going down."
I bank back towards the plane that shot at me, lock, and pop off a Sidewinder.
He has no time to react. His plane turns into a fireball, sending debris everywhere. I catch up with Marko.
"stuff, what do we do?"

MEANWHILE AT BASE

"All available multirole or air-to-air pilots, scramble. An entire battalion of Nerverak aircraft is headed this way."

"Oh, fun!" I say as I head toward my little plane. "Danna, grab your pilo- oh yeah, you are in one." I go to my bed to grab my g-suit and my piloty things, and I hop in. Danna already has the engines started. "Splendid!" I say, and prop myself in my seat.

"This is Mayhem, permission to taxi? Ah, blast. Going anyway." I flip some switches and put enough power so I can roll toward the runway.

"Mayhem, you are air-to-ground. You are not cleare-"

"I am armed with multi-purpose weapons. Need say?" I look to Danna grinning cheaply behind me.

"Oh sure Haythem, we have erm, 4 sidewinders and our pretty cannon."

"Are you stuffting me?" I say, scrambling to fold up the lawn chair.

I hid the stuff next to a maintence bench in the hanger, and wait for my ground crew. They show up quickly.

"How long?" I ask.

"It'll be about 3 to 5 minutes,"

I get in my G-Suit and climb into my plane. The ground crew give me full racks of missiles, a full belt of cannon, and two drop tanks.

I turn on the engines, try start with a whine as the spool up, and then turn over to a roar as they actually turn on. The first few planes are already heading for runway nine. I join them, and take off.

"Blackwater to all pilots, a sizeable enemy force is attacking a patrol over the ocean. You are to intercept them. Bearing 15 degrees, range 100 miles, angels 10,"

As soon as I take off and get to altitude, I activate supercruise. My plane hits it's Mach 2 supersonic cruise speed.

"Man, what the forget?"
I spill my tea on accident and run to my barracks to get my G suit and other gear. (including helmet)
I run over to my hangar. The weapons technician gave me 10 missiles, full cannon ammo, and a drop tank.

I quickly get in, flip all of the starter switches and HUD switches, and taxi to the runway.
"Cleared for takeoff, meet up with Jackson for further instruction."
"Copy, cleared for takeoff. Meet with Jackson."
I pump the throttle all the way up and take off.

"Stay on my ass and let's climb. Should buy us some time." I violently pull back on the stick and kick on the afterburners to prevent a stall in an almost vertical climb.

Mr. Hurricane · February 28, 2014, 07:25:31 AM

"Mark, your not gonna ba able to keep up with me, stick with Mayhem (Haythem)," I say, as I blow past the Warthog.

Gojira · February 28, 2014, 08:45:04 AM

I keep up with Marko's plane (what is it again).
"stuff, Marko, incoming!"
He jinks and pops flares, and the missile misses.
We go back into our climb.
"That was close."
I bank hard left to throw off an enemy plane trying to shred me with their machine gun.
"Where the hell's our air support? We need backup!"

(fun fact: in ace combat 6 the F-15E is capable of outrunning anything shot at it, not here though)

NoZoner · February 28, 2014, 11:14:12 AM

I ended up hitching a ride all the way back to the terminal to grab my gear. It takes a while, but I finally get my Falcon up in the air and flying. Blackwater directs me to the threat, and I group up with Mark and Haythem.

"Did Nerverak just completely lose their stuff? You have to get up really loving early in the morning to try and pick a fight on the turf of one of the biggest nations in the world."
