Cross: So what I heard is that guy was punched in the face. Yet he said it was awesome.

Daniel: Well How would you feel if you were punched by your idol.

Cross: I don't know?

Both of them then spotted a woman standing in front of their room. It was a woman who was older than them, probably 26 or 27, with blond hair and green eyes, a noticeable feature would be the scar going across her cheek. Daniel recognized the woman.

Daniel: Wait is that Nevada of the Arsenal Squadron?

Cross: What the hell is she doing here?

Nevada: Ah I see you two arrived. Lieutenants Daniel Krueger and Cross Kruger.

She had a slight Yuktobonia (Russian) accent her voice.

Daniel: That's us.

Nevada: Brothers Huh? You two don't look like brother.

Cross: I was adopted.

Nevada: What kind of name is Cross anyway?

Cross had held up his finger. He reached into his shirt and pulled out a neckless that was well a cross.

Cross: Because of this. It's the only thing my parents left me after I was born. I just had this on me ever since, so that's how I got the name Cross.

Nevada: Huh... anyway I just came here to get a good look at you two. I have to say both do have potential. Anyway I also came to tell you two I'll be assisting you guys in the next mission. Each one of us in Arsenal will be seeing how you rookies do?

Daniel: Are you scouting for new recruits?

Nevada: Not exactly. The only way we have a new recruit is if one of us were to get killed.

Cross: Well I know none of you guys won't get shot down, you are the best of the best.

Nevada: Thank you but not there are people better than us such as Three Strikes or The Grim Reaper.

Daniel: Mobius 1.

Nevada: Exactly. Anyway see you two later.

She left them as the Both went into their rooms.

Timeskip, next day.

January 9th

Commander: Alright nuggets listen up. A couple of days ago a few transport ships was shot down in Enemy air space. There were survivors but they were captured. Luckily they are being held at a base for now before they are transferred to a prison camp. In this mission you are to distract or shoot down the enemy pilots as the Dark Dog unit comes in and rescues them. Lieutenant Cross and Daniel.

Both: Sir?

Commander: You two along with Nevada will be taking care of the anti-air defenses so our escorts can come in and rescues them. I pray for your success. Dismissed.

<<Nevada>>
"God I hate this, why do we have to do this at night time?"

<<Daniel>>
"Arsenal 3, the reason we are doing this at night is because we can get the jump on them."

<<Nevada>>
"Sorry, I just been on a lot of mission, and nighttime makes a woman sleepy."

<<Cross>>
"Well don't go falling asleep and crashing."

<<AWCS>>
"Heads up you are entering enemy air space, prepare to engage."

<<Cross>>
"Roger, Cross engaging."

<<Daniel>>
"Serjeant engaging."

<<Nevada>>
"Nevada Engaging."

<<Cross>>
"Also Serjeant?"

<<Daniel>>
"Gotta make a name for myself."

All the fighters except for Cross, Daniel, and Nevada split up.

<<Enemy HQ>>
'We got bogeys inbound. Launch the fighters!'

<<Enemy G>>
'This late?! Damn it!'

Fighter jets were launched into the air. Enemy ground troops were rushing to AA guns, some to SAMs due to their incompetence of not knowing the enemy was coming. Cross dived down first firing his guns at an AA turret. It exploded as he flew by it. Daniel dropped a bomb at a SAM blowing it up. He did a barrel roll to avoid an incoming rocket from another.

<<Daniel>>
"Damn that was close."

<<Nevada>>
"Keep your eyes on the prize kid. Fox 2, Fox 2!"

Nevada has shot at one target then another with her missiles. The first hit it's target but the second was destroyed in air by a AA turret. Daniel had came in for the assist and hit the turret with its guns.

<<Cross>>
"Good one brother. Hey there are still some taking off, mind if I engage?"

<<Nevada>>
"I see what your planning. Do it."

Cross had switch his weapon system to his bombs. He neared a hanger and dropped a bomb into it. It went right into the hanger and exploded everything inside it.

<<Cross>>
"Oohh that's gonna leave a mark."

<<Nevada>>
"Don't piety the enemy kid. They started this war."

<<Daniel>>
"Your right but war is war, some people want to fight it and others don't, its complicated."

<<Cross>>
"True."

Cross dropped another bomb on two AA turrets that were near each other. Daniel had shot a jet that just took off. Nevada was taking down SAMs left and right. The rookies in the skies were actually fairing well.

<<Dark Dog>>
"This is Dark Dog here, we are heading to the base. You got the Anti-Air systems down right?"

<<Nevada>>
"Copy."

From the distance two escort chopper and two attack choppers were heading to the base. The enemy took notice of this.

<<Enemy G>>
'More enemies?! What the hell?! What is this bull-'

Cross had took out the final SAM. Dark Dog had took a few minutes before finally arriving at the scene. They touched down as the other two choppers provided cover. In the Meantime The three pilots would go and help out the other pilots.

<<Cross>>
"We just got to keep theses guys occupied and-"

<<AWACS>>
"Warning, bogeys inbound 7 aircraft inbound."

<<Nevada>>
"What now, I thought this was gonna be easy cruising."

<<AWACS>>
"Shit is one of the Osean main Air Force devision. Trident Squadron."

<<Daniel>>
"Aw shit."

<<AWACS>>
"Arsenal 3, Serjeant, Cross, hold them off and protect the nuggets. Dark Dog are you almost finished?"

<<Dark Dog>>
"Not Quite. Still got resistance. We got the prisoners but we are being suppressed. Can you guys cover us for a few minutes."

<<Daniel>>
"Roger. Cross let's show theses guys what we can do."

<<Cross>>
"Roger that Serjeant."

Well look over it a see a squadron of 8 fighters. An F-22 was leading a Squadron of JAS-39C Gripens. All of the noses and end of the wings on the planes were yellow. The rest of the craft was blue.

<<Trident 0>>
'Trident 0 reporting, Trident 1-6engage the enemies. 7 and 8 take out those choppers'

<<Trident Squadron>>
'Rodger!'

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

6 of them started to engage the other two went to take out the choppers.

<<Nevada>>
"Damn it they are going after the rescue team."

<<Daniel>>
"I'll take care of them!"

<<Cross>>
"I'll cover the others."

Cross turned his jet to the enemy formation. He charged rift in and fired two missiles at one. It took both butt manage to stay in the air.

<<Cross>>
"Wait there are 6 of them. AWACS one of them has stealth capability."

<<Trident 4>>
'Shit he hit me, but I'm still up.'

<<Trident 2>>
[Whoever that dumbass is he sure has some guts to take us on by himself.]

<<Cross>>
[Excuse me?!]

<<Trident 0>>
'2 You your on an open channel again.'

<<Trident 2>>
"Shit hang on." 'Better.'

<<Cross>>
[Who's the dumbass now?]

Cross switched his radio back to the Belkan channels. He turned around as the enemy pilots started to take him on. Meanwhile with Daniel he was being engaged by both of the other members.

<<Daniel>>
"Come on get a little closer..."

The pilot did so and fired off some rockets. Daniel popped some flares and made them missiles miss. He pulled off a Cobra maneuver and got behind the enemy and gunned him down.

<<Trident 8>>
'Damn it, ejecting!'

The pilot of ejected out of the Gripen. Daniel started to dog fight the other one. Meanwhile Cross was being crazy and flying around the Trident Squadron. They couldn't shoot him because he was in the middle of them so they didn't want to shoot one of their own. Cross had then started to fly down. One followed. Cross had then pulled up nearly avoiding the ground.

<<Trident 5>>
'Oh fuck!'

Trident 5 had realized he was going to fats and knew he couldn't pull up in time. He ejected as his jet smashed straight into the ground.

<<Trident 1>>
'Who the hell are theses guys?!'

<<Trident 2>>
'One of them is Arsenal but I don't know about the other two!'

<<Trident 4>>
'2 look out!'

Nevada had come in and chased the man. She fired a single rocket hitting Trident 4 and then shot the Gripen with her guns. 4 had no other choice than to bail out. Daniel also had managed land some hits on Trident 7.

<<Trident 7>>
'Damn it, he took out my weapons system!'

<<Trident 0>>
"Tch. All fighters in the air and men down on base. Retreat, the enemy is to skilled." [Belka Fighters you will pay for this.]

Trident Squadron turned around and left. Dark Dog had just taken off.

<<Nevada>>
[Hell yeah! Run you cowards!] "Cross, Serjeant Good work!"

Later

Commander: Well your mission was not only a success but we managed to drive Osea out of their base due to your attack. All their air defense were destroyed and not only that Dark Dog slaughter a lot of their men. And you Cross destroyed one their hangers. Good work. You are all dismissed.
