A few hours and two tanker stops later, the furball which hung over Cruik came into view. Flipping on the master switch, Rayden activated his radio. "Guardian Knight to Night Wasp, split and engage at will. Kor flight, same orders as Night Wasp, good hunting." he states loosing the droptank and proceeds to turn and burn with the enemy. Drawing most of the fighters up and away, Rayden fired a burst of his gun. Watching it impact along the engine of a Su-27, he dove away and choose another target. 'Once more I have to save everyone, but no one will do the same for me. Just like last time.'
"Wilco, Night Wasp engaging." Amerah states. As the droptank fell away from the Hornet, she rocketed forward. Arming the master switch, while targets were high lighted, she choose the center most one. 'So it begins.' Amerah thought as the Stand off dispenser icon lit up. Depressing the the button and watching the SOD launch for mere milliseconds, she banks sharply just in time to avoid a surface launched AA missile. Finding herself inline for a stafing run on an AA gun Amerah held her trigger for a few seconds necessary to close the distance.
Pulling the trigger and watching the gun go silent; she banks again to line up on the next gun. "Wonder how Kor flight is doing?" she whispered, firing the gun again.
