0 · 651 views · located in Yllior

a character in “Ace Combat: Generations”, as played by Lost_chance

Description

Description: Chance is a very quiet person, but can be kind when need be. He rarely smiles due to a mild depression, and deep darkness in his past, and his usual anti-social nature sort of makes him an outcast most of his military career. He has shown his love for animals, for he keeps a dog named Rufus around as his companion. Chance also loves reading and reads whenever he is able to. He's also known to be a quick thinker and a bit of a smart alec at times, which irritates most of the people he meets, but he laughs as he finds it really amusing.

Chance is very skinny, but he is strong and quick, with slightly pale skin that suits well with his dark-ish blue hair. His hair always somehow flow in the right direction no matter where the wind blows. He wears a fur Jacket that contains his old Air Squadron's tag "Blue Phoenix" as he was the last survivor of that squad. Chance is a very tall, possibly 6 feet 7 inches, and because he knows 4 different martial arts sets, his legs and arms are really well built, although they don't look like it. He's a complete virgin, due to a "sex before marriage oath" which, in turn it doesn't really matter cause he really doesn't mind people too much.

Age: 21
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Ethnicity: Caucasian, and Asian

Height: 6' 7''
Weight: 205 Ib
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Blue

Birthplace: Stravghli, Yllior
Current Location/Residence: Aerino Base, Yllior

Station: Aerino Base
Rank: 2nd Lieutenant
Personal Aircraft: F5E

Strengths: He's capable guy that can look out for his friends, he could handle himself in a fight. Chance is also a natural pilot gaining the reputation of "Stravghli's Angel."
Weakness: He can't let go of his past, He's very rash when it comes to his anger. Chance is very impatient when it comes to battle.

Personality: Chance is a quiet and very anti-social guy, not really wishing to talk to people. He can be kind answering in a couple phrases or the occasional sentence, or he can be very cold towards people. He's extremely loyal to what he believes in, and if there are orders that he question, he will question it, even if it risks his career in the military. Despite his outcast, kind to cold attitude he does have things that he cares about that he prefers not to show, as he thinks that it doesn't really matter anymore. Chance is also very abrupt when people know him long enough, but few people do know him long enough or live long enough to tell others due to the war.

Chance is the maturest and serious person you could meet, due to his experiences in a war. thus, when it comes to people that mess with those close to him, or his country. He won't be afraid to outwit that person, or have him in the E.R. for a couple months. He's very righteous and courageous, not afraid to die and is always ready to die even if the mission is downright suicidal. He also never forgets, and always return the favor be it kindness or not.

Biography: Chance was born in Stravghli, Yllior. A southeastern coastline village at least 70 miles away from the Vezoal Base. He was the youngest of 9 children, that of which his parents always favored them over him. But, despite of that he had a sense of duty towards his family, of which he loved dearly. Born to the village head at that time, he was raised to follow the traditions of his family, which included a variety of long lost martial arts, and even swordsmanship at a very early age.

Chance attended at Shinetsk High School until he was 16, in which he graduated early due to extremely high marks in his class. The day after graduation day the nation of Edylla had started attacking Yllior in their scorch earth tactic, sending out a Blitzkrieg of planes, and ground forces to rush and burn all of Yllior's valuable assets. In which Stravghli was the village in between one of those assets. So in which he went and joined the Village local militia joined by some of the military to defend that village but in the suing battle he was gravely injured and evacuated with the retreating forces, as he watched the slow slaughter of his village, his family, and his girlfriend Alyssa. Leaving them all to be massacred.

He woke up in the hospital later after days of being in an unconscious state. Left with only a pendant to remind him of what his past was like. He immediately joined the Air Force as soon as he could and fought in numerous skirmishes with the enemy earning him the nick name of "Stravghli's Angel." But, in turn his disobedience was the coming of his demise and he was demoted and sent to Aerino Base. That couldn't hold him though, for he didn't care about rank, his family and his whole village was killed, and he wants revenge.

So begins...

”I’m still learning the ins and outs of flying in real combat outside of the simulator, but I have faith in my fellow pilots. Breaking my leg came as a bit of a blow and prevented me from flying with them, but now I am free to join them in the skies… providing I don’t look down too often.”





Lucky and Kasumi laughed.

"Well Casanova, I'm glad you like our newest team member. Now, since we're finished here, it's time to get back to the briefing room to meet with Base Commander about the details of our next mission. If I'm not mistaken, we'll be deployed tomorrow morning around 0800 or so. But I haven't confirmed that info yet."

He looked to Chance.

"Chance, since you still aren't approved to fly yet, you'll have to wait somewhere else. Official policy is that the only people who know the details of the mission are those fully approved to fly. Sorry bud."

Kasumi nodded.

"Alright then. Angel and Phoenix, let's get to the briefing room."

With that, he and the others took off leaving Chance to wait for the news from above regarding his ability to fly. Once at the briefing room, they sat down to wait for Base Commander. He arrived a few minutes later, and set a folder down in front of Lucky.

"Alright War Angel, listen up. This is Operation Blitz Break, and your target today is our only remaining supply base on the water about eighty miles out to sea via vector 080 east. The rest of our supply bases were bombed during the last mission while we were concerned with breaking Edylla's forward momentum. This supply base must not fall, so you are being sent out as backup for the Royal Dragon Squadron who personally requested your aid. They have good reason to believe that the Crimson Valko will make an appearance, so if he does your orders are to break from the airspace and leave him to Royal Dragon. Any questions?"

Lucky raised his hand.

"Yes Captain?"

"What are looking at as far as enemy forces?"

"Everything you need is in that folder. If there are no further questions, dismissed!" He barked, leaving the room.

Lucky's eyebrow went up.

"He seems a bit high strung today," Lucky said.

"Yeah, no kidding. He's usually a lot more level headed than that," Kasumi added.

"Well, let's take a look shall we?"

Lucky opened the folder and emptied its contents onto the table so all three of them could see it. Four sheets of paper came out of the folder. One was a list of expected enemy aircraft and naval forces, one was a list of allied forces and their positions, one was pictures of the base and its surrounding defenses, and one was a photo of the Crimson Valko's rumored new plane of choice.

"Well, that makes things interesting," Lucky said, holding up the list of allied forces.

"Royal Dragon Squadron in the air, and the 'Invincible Fortress' on the water."

Kasumi's brows furrowed.

"'Invincible Fortress'?" She asked.

Lucky gave her the photo of the base.

"The 'Invincible Fortress' is one of our Battleships. It's never taken so much as a single enemy bullet on the hull, and is over fifty years old. This particular Battleship is also reinforced with a secondary layer in its hull for added protection. It's slower than average, but it's one hell of a vessel for tanking enemy fire."

Kasumi whistled.

"Wow."

"Yep. So, Phoenix. Any questions?" Lucky asked.

--------------------------------------------------


As the others were departing for the briefing room, Chance was approached by one of the therapists assistants.

"Excuse me Mr. Williams. Could you please come withe me? We have some news for you which the therapist will deliver in the medical wing," He said.

"Alright." Chance said as he began following the therapist assistant.

I wonder what is going on? He thought to himself curiously. He was also anxious about whether or not he get to fly again. He doesn't like being on the ground doing nothing for a long time.

”I’m still learning the ins and outs of flying in real combat outside of the simulator, but I have faith in my fellow pilots. Breaking my leg came as a bit of a blow and prevented me from flying with them, but now I am free to join them in the skies… providing I don’t look down too often.”





"Valid points, Phoenix. At this point, when it's so early in the war, almost anything is possible," Lucky said.

"Given that the Battleship is likely a center of morale among many of the troops, I'd say Phoenix's guess is right on the money. If they take out that ship, our forces will take a serious mental and emotional blow. But the Royal Dragon Squadron is just as much a target if the Crimson Valko turns up. He took down one of them with a training jet in the last battle, and they're flying F-22's. What do you think he could do in a real fighter of equal caliber?"

"I'd rather NOT think about that one Angel. One issue at a time. We need to figure out the best approach, as command hasn't given us a specified target or flight pattern to work with. I'm guessing they want to see how we handle this situation."

Lucky looked to Phoenix.

"Anymore ideas or suggestions?"

--------------------------------------------------


The therapist was waiting for Chance in the medical room in which they met before, seated on the edge of one of the beds before standing up upon Chance's entry.

"Mr. Williams, command has approved of my petition. However, I have some more news, and it's not exactly happy news."

He brought out a note card and read from it.

"Henceforth you are on a probationary period, and command has agreed to let you fly with your teammates in Operation Blitz Break tomorrow at 0800. You will be closely monitored via a special camera inside your plane's cockpit during the flight. Be it spoken words or actions taken during flight, a single misstep on your part will result in your license being revoked permanently. Not only will you be discharged from service, but command has promised you that they will make it impossible for you to fly a plane ever again."

He put the note card down, regarding Chance for a moment.

"Command has three conditions for your acceptance of this deal: One, that you remain with your team at all times. Two, that you obey your flight lead's every command. And three, that you not try and take matters into your own hands. If these conditions are acceptable, then prepare yourself for the mission. If you fly like the pilot command needs you to be and not like the pilot you think you need to be, you'll have your license back upon return to base when Operation Blitz Break is over, provided you survive it."

Chance nodded at the therapist.

"I understand, and thank you!" He said enthusiastically.

"I will try my bet for command to see that I have shown change, but my question is what if the captain tells me to split away from the group?" He asked curiously because if he follows his orders then he has to.

He was filled with excitement, and a little bit of anxiety from it. He won't let them down. Not again.

The therapist smiled.

"So long as it's an order from your flight lead, you're in the clear. But if you try and split off on your own, that will work against you."

”I’m still learning the ins and outs of flying in real combat outside of the simulator, but I have faith in my fellow pilots. Breaking my leg came as a bit of a blow and prevented me from flying with them, but now I am free to join them in the skies… providing I don’t look down too often.”





Lucky considered the two, rather surprised to see Chance walk in so soon but all the more happy to have his number three back in action. If command didn't let him fly, he wouldn't be here. Each pair of eyes in the sky were eyes he could use.

"Fair enough."

He pointed to the grid's west and east lines.

"Edylla will be coming from the east across the sea along what for us is vector 080 degrees. Given that the expected enemy forces consist of approximately four fighter squadrons and three high density bomber squadrons of no fewer than seven bombers each, I think we should make our priority the bombers. Remember that the Royal Dragon Squadron will be spearheading our defense in the air, and they'll make quick work of any fighter squadrons that come our way. Our Battleship will bring some serious anti-air capabilities out in front, giving us time to get behind the bombers and take them out before they reach the base. So long as it remains in one piece by the time the enemy either retreats or is defeated outright, then we've done our job."

He then pointed to the picture of the base, a satellite image from directly overhead showing everything within two miles of the structure.

"The base lies in the middle of the water, and was built over a defunct oil drilling facility. The holes used for the mining of oil were filled and the overall structure turned into a glorified storage unit for our supplies. The biggest danger to this facility doesn't lie from the air, but in fact the sea. Enemy ships and submarines are the greatest threat, as this structure lies out in the middle of the ocean supported only by five giant pillars that extend to the sea floor. If two or more pillars go down, that structure collapses and sends our supply base to the bottom of the ocean."

"So how do we defend that?" Kasumi asked.

"We don't. We stay focused on the air. Along with our 'Invincible Fortress' battleship is Yllior's most famous submarine, the 'Mirage.' Never touched underwater and boasting some of the most advanced anti-sonar metal coating and stealth technologies in existence. If that thing can't protect the pillars for us, then nothing can. One way or the other, our priority in the air are the bombers."

"So what's the plan for them?" Kasumi asked.

"We're going with a slightly modified version of Phoenix's plan. We're being deployed at 0800 hours tomorrow morning, and once we're in the air we're going to fly low beneath radar range and curve southward along vector 140 degrees which will lead us to about here," he said, pointing to the grid map about four miles south of the battle space.

"Once we're in position, we'll head northward along vector 050 degrees northeast, coming in behind the bombers as they approach the airspace. Once we reach the battle zone, we'll ascend to proper altitude and take the bombers out, hopefully before the fighter escorts figure out what we're doing. If we can drop even one full squadron of bombers, the base will breath a sigh of relief. But we have no fewer than three bomber squadrons to deal with, each one being about seven strong. It won't be easy to pull this off, but it's our best bet for doing our part to protect the base."

He looked up, glancing to Chance and Phoenix in turn.

"I don't want to sound negative, but you both need to remember that we're not the heart and soul of the defense effort. Both Chance and Angel hold the least amount of experience in the air by comparison to Phoenix or myself. Phoenix has more flight time than you two, but I hold more flight time than all three of you combined. As a Captain, it's my job to get you back home alive and to prepare you to possibly become flight leads yourselves."

He looked at Chance.

"I like your enthusiasm Chance, but thinking like the way you did is what gets people killed. In a battle of this scale, splitting a squadron of only four pilots up, two of whom are still considered rookies, to take care of individual tasks is suicide. If I gave the order to split up, I doubt any of us would return home alive."

He looked to Phoenix next.

"Doing what nobody expects is not a bad idea when you have the numbers and the equipment to pull it off, but even then such dangerous though creative maneuvers are best done in moderation. I've known the Royal Dragon Squadron for about five years now, and I though they all fly F-22's, I've never heard of them going out of their way to think outside the box. In our case, with only two F-5E's and two F-16's, our Squadron is hardly equipped to be trying to go that extra mile just to play our part in a defense mission. A lead pilot needs to think of the big picture and not just of what's immediately in front of them. Remember that there's an aftermath to think of as well, not just what the best immediate solution to a problem might be."

He looked over at Kasumi.

"Angel, I'm a bit concerned about your lack of participation in throwing out ideas. Though Chance and Phoenix's ideas both carried flaws, at least they gave something to this meeting. A future flight lead needs to be able to think on their feet and come up with ideas and suggestions on the fly, as keeping your mind working and challenging the knowledge of those around you is one of the best ways to learn and grow. If they can't do that, then they're not fit to lead. They're fit to follow. I doubt you have it in mind to just be a number two forever, do you?"

Kasumi slowly averted her eyes.

"I didn't think so. Don't be a permanent follower alright."

She nodded, still not looking at him.

He looked back to the other two.

"Alright then. Tomorrow at 0800 our asses are in our planes and we'll be taxiing to the runway to begin the mission. We're going to fly in a simple horizontal line formation so we're all on an even plane and within eyesight of each other. If your peripherals catch anyone wandering, call it out to them so they can get back on track. Our altitude is going to be very low, and your "pull up" alarm will be going off nearly the entire way until we get to the battle space. It's going to be annoying and distracting, but you have to push through it to reach the battle space safely."

Kasumi nodded.

"Alright then. Go to your quarters and get some rest. We've only got about ten hours until mission time."

With that, he put everything in the folder and walked out, letting everyone leave to find their quarters to rest. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Chance walked out with his hands in the pocket of his jacket. He was walking across the hallway towards the center of the base to try to get some air.

He was curious about the mission. The mission is so strange... If they wanted to destroy supplies wouldn't they want to keep it a secret as much as possible?... He thought to himself. He tried to shrug it off and just sat on the grass looking at the sky. He was happy he can still get in the air.

He looks at the sky then notices Phoenix is moving around. He ran over to her.

"Hey, are you lost?" Chance asked curiously.

He wants to try to get to know the newest member of the team better, and hell maybe she can understand his predicament a little bit better then the rest of the crew.

"I'm not treating you like a kid, I'm trying to be nice cause you just got bashed by our flight lead just like I have, so tel me what the hell is your problem to treat me as though I'm the bad guy?" Chance replies with the same annoyance and hostilities.

"So what if you're fourth? I honestly think whether it be fourth or first it doesn't mean anything to me. Everyone is equal in my opinion, and hell I was flight lead in my old squadron but I'm third, how do you think I feel? You shouldn't be hostile with someone about what you want. At least you are lucky to be alive, some aren't lucky to get that fate..." Chance said as he showed hostilities and quietness.

"I'm sorry if you think that being fourth is sort of a demotion, and annoyed, but with this war. We got a lot more important things to think about then rank. And, I personally don't want rank to get between anybody, not when it's life or death." Chance said looking straight into her eyes.

Chance follows her.

"You don't think I feel the same?! This war is damnable, and I hate getting insulted on my integrity and skill. Hell, I've been insulted by our higher-ups and our flight lead, because they think I choose to be 'heroic' when really I want revenge on all of those Edylla bastards that annihilated my village and household. I mean you could have clearly seen about our flight lead insulting us both during that meeting. So you really aren't alone, and if anything I never insulted your skill, you're one hell of a flier and you got a good sense of strategy, but the thought about rank and skills should be put aside for now. Even if it annoys the living hell out of you, you just gotta stay calm, and hell you got me as a buddy here that suffers with ya. So don't try to be a loner, that path is never the best.... I know cause I've experienced it and felt it, and you have to be a captain yes, but there's also demotion and the fact the Blue Phoenix Squadron was wiped out with me being sole survivor." He said blocking her path looking at her face at first but then looked on the ground with sadness.

Kasumi met Lucky outside of his room before he turned in.

"So... That went, well. I suppose," She said.

Lucky nodded.

"Yeah, about as well as it needed to. Both of them have the same problem, but I'm hoping that by throwing other variable accusations at them that they'll eventually come to realize what that shared flaw is."

Kasumi tilted her head.

"And what flaw would that be?"

He looked at her and smiled.

"Arrogance."

She raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't pick that up from them," she replied.

"I know. I could see that much in your responses both verbally and non verbally to what was going on. But I see it clear as day. Both of them have talent, and they know it. One of them was a squadron leader before a demotion and has problems with being honest with himself regarding the source of his determination and his drive to fly. You and I both know and saw just as the therapist did that he has both a revenge and hero complex, though he refuses to admit it or simply because he cannot see it. But the therapist nailed it when he said in the beginning that Chance had it in his mind that he had to be everyone's hero. How else do you explain "I want to protect everyone and take on the strongest enemies?" What other label can you place on that?"

Kasumi let out a breath.

"None," She said.

He nodded.

"The other is a star in her own mind. You saw the look in her eyes. It's obvious that she feels that going from number two in her old squad to number four in ours is akin to a demotion or an insult to her skills. You also heard her say she wasn't a rookie as well didn't you? Well, despite her protest to the fact, she is in fact still a rookie. She's never seen a large scale battle or actually been involved in wartime combat, and has only had a handful of flights under her belt. I read her file, and I know that even though she did well in simulations and in her previous flights, she's still a rookie whether she wants to believe it or not. God save her if she ever gets a flight lead that isn't prepared to deal with that attitude."

"And you are prepared to deal with it?" She asked.

He chuckled.

"Obviously. I wouldn't have accepted her into our squadron if I wasn't prepared to deal with her. Still, I must admit that I'm concerned that either one or both of them will get complacent with their talents in the air and get either themselves or our allies killed. Phoenix especially given how upset she seems to be at being a number four in the line up now. I have a feeling that before long she will think she doesn't have to accept orders from me because of her confidence in her own skills and judgement in the air. If it comes to that, then I'll have no choice but to recommend to command that they permanently ground her like they almost did to Chance. Such an attitude is dangerous not just for her, but for everyone else around her. If she doesn't feel she's answerable to anyone simply because she knows she's a decent pilot, then she has no business flying."

Kasumi whistled.

"That's a bit harsh, don't you think?" She asked.

He shook his head.

"Not at all. A pilot that's out for themselves and who refuses to acknowledge the chain of command properly for any reason is like a loaded gun in the hands of a child. It has no business being there."

Kasumi nodded.

"In case you haven't noticed or bothered speaking to the other Captains in the remaining squadrons we have, Chance is the only pilot in the entire Ylliorian Air Force who's disobeyed orders and done his own thing since this war began, and Phoenix is the only one who thinks more highly of her skills than is warranted by her record. I have valid reasons to be concerned about them, and I can only hope that they both mellow out for the right reasons and don't have to do so through further tragedy. I know it's kind of morbid to say so, but I have a feeling that one of them, likely Phoenix, will be the death of me."

Kasumi sighed.

"Get some sleep Doug. We've got a big mission tomorrow and we don't need you thinking like that."

He chuckled.

"You too Angel."

Kasumi left and went to her room, falling asleep almost immediately. Lucky took a bit longer to fall asleep, but he too drifted off before long.

--------------------------------------------------


Time: 0755 Hours


Lucky was wide awake and sitting in his cockpit when Angel walked into the Hangar. She was quiet, but obviously wide awake and ready to fly. She hopped in her plane as they waited for the others to arrive, kicking up their engines when the clock struck 0758.

"You ready for this Angel?" He asked.

"Always," she responded.

Chance sat in his cockpit for a while turning on his engines and looking through his cockpit while listening to radio.

"Angel 3, all systems clear... Let's do this nicely and swiftly.. I personally want to get back to my book." Chance says exasperated.

He was tired and wanted to keep on reading his book some more. He noticed that everyone had chatter except for Phoenix.

"Phoenix are you alright?... Look im sorry about before, and if you want I can take you out for a cup of coffee once my suspension away from the base is over... Especially when jet lag can be a pain..." Chance said quietly and apologetically too.

”I’m still learning the ins and outs of flying in real combat outside of the simulator, but I have faith in my fellow pilots. Breaking my leg came as a bit of a blow and prevented me from flying with them, but now I am free to join them in the skies… providing I don’t look down too often.”





Lucky flipped the comms.

"Save the romantic chatter for when we get home you two. It's go time."

Lucky was first to taxi to the runway, and he was in the air within the minute. Angel was right behind him, with the other two taking off in stride.

"Alright people, let's get this done. Stay on my tail, and don't get shot down."

"Angel 2, roger."

"Good. Keep radio silent until I say so. Out."

He cut the radio comms and led them onward.

Lucky led them on a fairly long flight south first to get around the battle space radar range. They flew low, at approximately fifty feet to where their "pull up" alarms were blazing in their cockpits. It was a chore listening to it and trying to tune it out, but Kasumi managed just fine for the first few minutes. After about ten minutes, it became irritating. Still, she persevered. They turned north east towards the back of where Edylla's planes would be flying from, and another fifteen minutes or so of flying and they reached the relative battle space.

The supply base was a dot on the horizon with tiny flies all around it as they flew along the ocean surface with the first squadron of bombers flying overhead. Lucky got the bead on them and slowed their speed along the surface to prevent breaks in the waves that could give away their approach to any sharp eyes in the bomber's formation. They let the bombers fly directly overhead before veering and following directly behind, still along the surface.

"Alright War Angel, break radio silence. This is wave one of the bombers. Keep in mind there are two more waves incoming, so don't get fancy or waste all your missiles on this bunch. Stick to the gun as much as possible and aim for the engines. That'll bring them down the fastest. Let's do this! I'll take middle, Angel break left with Phoenix and Chance break right. I'll lean towards you as I take out the lead plane. Go!" He ordered.

"Angel 2, roger!"

Kasumi broke away immediately and hit the afterburners as she rocketed towards her first target just to the left of the lead plane. She flew right up behind it to where she could see the heat emanating from its engines before she lined it up and began firing on its leftmost engines. She took out two engines in good order, causing the plane to list to the left side towards the next plane which had to veer away from it to avoid a collision. Kasumi banked hard left behind the panicked bomber and shot out its first right engine, then the second. The plane listed to the right and could no longer avoid a collision as the two planes crashed into one another.

"Bombers one and two on my end down!" Kasumi said happily.

But then her warning alarm flashed.

She cranked her head around and saw that she had escort fighters inbound, one of which had a bead on her.

"Angel 2, breaking away. I've got fighters on my tail!" She yelled.

She banked away, ducking away from Phoenix and the bombers she was shooting at as she attempted to lose her new tail. It was not a good start, but two bombers down were two bombers down and one fighter on her tail was manageable. It all depended on whether her brand new plane could keep her safe. She was about to find out.

"Black Phantom, roger!" Chance said trying to yell into the radio because of all the noise.

He banked right hoping Phoenix was there doing the same. He saw two of the bombers ahead of him, and quickly unloaded massive amounts of bullets at them. Leaving three bombers left for Phoenix.

"Angel you need help?! I could go and cover you if you want, Phoenix will handle the rest of the bombers, do you want me to assist or stick with Phoenix's tail?!" Chance asked, or rather yelled into the radio. He could barely hear anything after the pull up notice kept popping up.

"Angel 4, this is Angel 1. Mission time is expected to last for about half an hour. Focus on your end for now and don't worry about flight times."

Kasumi had begun to shake her tail, catching the message from Chance but not heeding it at first. She banked and ducked, flying near to her naval allies who rained down the anti air fire on her pursuer until it was brought down in a blaze of... eh, the opposite of glory.

"Not a problem Chance, we do have allies besides you ya know," she said into the comms before returning to formation.

"Alright, now that the first wave is down the enemy knows we're here and what we're going to do when the other bombers get here. We're going to need to watch out for more escort fighters from here on out," Lucky called out.

"Angel 2, roger."

"Now that we have the first wave down, our part in this fight is temporarily over. Everyone stay on my tail and we'll await confirmation from Thundercloud when the next wave of bombers arrive."

"Angel 2, roger."

"Angel 3, roger!" Chance said as he sticks with Lucky.

There sure is a lot of heat in this squadron... He thought to himself as he rolled his eyes once, and stayed at lucky's tail.
