Belkan flight base

January 14th

We see Cross in his room. He wasn't really doing anything besides reading a newspaper and listing to some music. Cross was looking at an Osean one. Some of the guys would bring in theses newspapers so they could scoff and make fun at them, it kind of raised Morale in a sense making fun at the enemy. Cross sighed as he looked at another sentence saying that Belka started this war. Cross looked out the window. It was morning time. Suddenly he saw three jets fly in 2 F-4s and a Mig-21. From what he saw from yesterday 7 of them left. Now there were only three. The Mig open up its landing gear. It touched down but then the fear broke making the jet slide across the runway. Cross got up and went to check it out.

Outside he saw the pilots get out. The guy in the Mig got out in Anger and threw his helmet down.

???: FUCK!

Cross: He seems angry.

???: He doesn't know how to control his temper at times.

Cross looked beside him to see a man in his thirties standing beside him. The man had white hair. It was colored to be exact. His red eyes were odd as well. Cross saw that this man was an Albino.

???: Dakota has a short temper when things don't go his way. He's too serious.

Cross: You know him?

???: Know him? I'm his damned Captain Cross.

Cross: Wait your Excalibur! And you know my name?! Holy shit!

Excalibur: That's right. You and your brother's name has been spreading like wildfire.

Cross: What do they say about me.

Excalibur: Well... that your are crazy.

Cross: I know I'm crazy.

Excalibur: Never thought you take that as a compliment.

Cross: Hey at Least I'm getting known.

Excalibur: Still some of them are calling you a dumbass as well.

Cross: Hey I'm crazy but not stupid.

Excalibur: Anyway I'm going to be watching you in your next mission. I want to see your craziness in action.

Cross: Ok.

The next day.

January 15th

Commander: After finding out that Osea is going to attack us by sea, our forces will conduct an attack on an oil rig near the Crescents Islands. You will be backed up by navel ships as well because they will have other ships defending them. You will be joined by the leader of the Arsenal team, Excalibur. We need to make sure that this operation succeeds otherwise we face opposition in the ocean as well. You are all dismissed.

<<Cross>>
"Looks like everything is going well. They don't know we are here.

<<Legion>>
"This is AWACS Legion here. I'll be your AWACS today. So how do you guys feel about ruffling up the enemy?"

<<Daniel>>
"Serjeant here. I kind of feel excited. Especially since we can use different planes."

Daniel was using a F-16 while Cross was in a Mig-29K.

<<Cross>>
"First time I've flown a Mig before."

<<Excalibur>>
"I bet you will do fine."

<<Keller>>
"All flight unites this is Captain Keller of the Longsword Speaking. We are almost to our destination, how about you guys go ahead while we assist from the back. No need to worry about us."

<<Cross>>
"Rodger that. Cross going into to engage."

Cross went full speed and flew to one of the oil rigs.

<<Excalibur>>
"All planes, follow Cross's lead! I may be the leader the but that kid took the lead there!"

Cross switch to UGB dropped on on the rig. Alarms stared to go off. The ships around the place started to aim their SAMs and AA guns. Daniel flew over to a ship and launched a middle at it.

<<Daniel>>
"Fox 2!"

The missile hit a SAM and then an AA gun.

<<Legion>>
"SAM and AA gun destroyed."

<<Osean boat>>
'This is the Osean fleet starforge. We are being attacked by the Belkans. They are hitting out oil rigs and put ships, we need back up."

<<Osean command>>
"Roger that, sending reinforcements."

Back with Cross he launched another UGB at the rig. It landed and created a giant explosion due to all the oil in it igniting. He was about to go in for another run but a shell hit the leg of the Oil Rig. Cross looked over to see Keller's ship not close but firing at rig. This guy was crazy since he thought he could hit the targets from that distance. And what's more crazy is that he did. Cross looked over to the other two Oil Rigs. Take theses out and the Oseans don't have quick oil to Crescents island.

<<Cross>>
"Good Shot Captain."

<<Keller>>
"Thanks. Aim for the legs. It's nice to see stuff like this just fall down."

With Daniel he was now dog fighting with three jets that took off from an carrier ship. Daniel was focusing trying to die. He dodged 4 missiles then popped his flares to not get hit by 4 more. He then did a post stall maneuver as all of them flew by. Daniel repositioned himself and the chased the three. Daniel quickly changed to LAAMs that he brought just in case for something like this. He fired them and the missiles connected at all of them destroying the jets.

<<Daniel>>
"Hostiles down."

<<Excalibur>>
"Rodger that. I just sunk the carrier. Cross how are you doing?"

<<Cross>>
"Hang on a sec."

Cross had dodged a middle from a SAM on a Rig. Cross flew close to the rig and shot a missile at the SAM. He then flew very close to the to the point where he almost crashed.

<<Excalibur>>
"Cross you dumbass I almost saw you get yourself killed!"

<<Cross>>
"Sorry sir, I like a little danger."

<<Daniel>>
"But don't get yourself killed though."

<<Cross>>
"Right right. Let's finish this up shall we?"

Cross flew under the rig and dropped two UGBs at a leg. They exploded but didn't destroy the leg. However Kerller followed it up with a shot from his ship. The leg on it collapsed from the explosion and the rig was sent into the sea.

<<Cross>>
"Last one!"

<<Legion>>
"Hang on we got an enemy coming in. That's strange it's only one."

<<Excalibur>>
"One? Wait if it's just one that means they must be an tough ace."

<<Cross>>
"I'll handle him! You guys focus on taking out the last rig."

<<Daniel>>
"Brother wait-"

Cross checked his radar and flew to the craft. When he got closer he could see it was an F-22 Raptor.

<<Legion>>
"Hang on... Cross disengage! It's-"

Cross saw that emblem on the craft. It was Three Scratches and a claw.

<<Cross>>
"Three Strikes!"

<<Trigger>>
'I got one hostile engaging.'

<<Longcaster>>
'Just one, must be some guy who thinks they can be a hero. Serve him up like smoked bacon.'

<<Trgger>>
'Rodger.'

Trigger switched turned off the safety in his jet and fired to rockets at Cross. Cross fired two missiles as well. Both of them dodged their missiles and started to circle each other.  Trigger was the first to win the round about and get behind Trigger. He fired a missile at Trigger but he popped out flares so the missiles would go off target. Trigger did a PSM and got behind Cross. Cross looked behind him. Trigger fired a SAAM. With Cross in his sights. The missile got closest to Cross but he dived down near the water. The missile followed but crashed into the water, just because Trigger could guid it didn't mean he could really control it.

<<Trigger>>
'Tricky fellow...'

Cross then pulled up and turn around heading straight back to Trigger. Trigger fired two missiles at him. Cross got out of sight by pulling up. Cross had one UGB left and launched it at Trigger after he pulled up. Trigger eyes widen as he didn't expect this to happen. The banked left as it almost hit him.

<<Trigger>>
'This one... he's different. Almost like...'

<<Longcaster>>
'Focus Trigger, just because the enemy is tricky doesn't mean he's invincible. Though I suggest you watch out for any tricks.'

<<Daniel>>
"Cross Disengage we got the last one!"

<<Cross>>
"Hang on!"

<<Excalibur>>
"Lieutenant, disengage now!"

<<Cross>>
"He'll kill me if I turn my back to him you know that right. This is the Ace of Aces I'm fighting!"

<<Excalibur>>
"Shit he's right. We need to cover him!"

<<Belkan Ally>>
"Against Three Strikes?! No fucking way!"

<<Daniel>>
"I'll do it, he's my brother after all."

Daniel few to where Trigger and Cross where dueling. Daniel fired a middle at Trigger. Daniel did a post stall maneuver and turned back. Cross saw the opportunity to escape and took it. Trigger dodged the missile and repositioned himself.

<<Trigger>>
'They are retreating, should I go after them?'

<<Longcaster>>
'No, there would be no point. They already did their job so chasing them down would be pointless Trigger. *Sigh* just return to base.'

<<Trigger>>
'Rodger...'

Trigger: That Pilot... I don't think it will be the last I'll see of him...
