Meanwhile, Feisler dropped down and made a low pass over the docks, taking out hovercrafts that were approaching the shoreline. "I think we're wearing them down, keep up the pressure!"

Feisler received another call from the shore.

"We're taking fire! The ships are choking the harbor entrance- we can't leave!"

"We're doing everything we can," Feisler said, flying in low beneath the phalanx fire again. The deadly rain of rounds had already forced his aircraft to take damage. He put an aircraft carrier in his sights and fired off two anti-ship missiles ,destroying it. A few F-4s were able to take off, however.

Feisler skimmed over the waves on full afterburner. Phalanx fire was already coming towards them in sheets from the ships, the tracers arcing up into the air like a deadly hail. He armed one anti-ship missile and fired towards a small light attack vessel, tearing through it like rice paper.

"One down," he called, pulling up and circling around for another run.

King of the puddle!

"Absolutely! Everpony knows determination makes things happen faster!"

Yes indeed. That pose is probably one of my favorites.

Determination!

10/10

Picture wouldn't load for me the first time I rated, so I'm updating my rating. Very nice picture!

And I think I've finalized my avatar. We'll see, though...

Dramatic. I like it!

(All part of the plan)

A radio transmission came through from the crafts below.

"New Henai Harbor, this is the seventh peacekeeper fleet from Verusea. We're here to bolster your defenses."

Feisler raised an eyebrow. That explained the civilian IFF codes, but last he'd heard, the seventh was supposed to be ferrying weapons to Osea. Strange that he hadn't been informed of this beforehand...

"Thank goodness you're here, peacekeepers!" harbor control called, "we're preparing a shipment of emergency supplies to Osea for the Verusean refugees. Glad to have you around for support."

"Don't mention it." A single missile trailed up from one of the boats. Feisler did a double take, reconfirming what he was seeing. The missile arced towards the docks and impacted a freighter.

"The seventh fleet has been compromised!" Feisler called, diving to the water level and arming his anti-ship missiles, "watch out for hostiles!"

A white flash below caught Feisler's eye. Sea spray. He turned his head, focusing his eyes on a boat passing below. It was military, without a doubt, but it was squawking civilian IFF codes. Several more military vessels were inbound as well, all flashing civilian I.D.

"Boats below," he said, "no threat."

A splash of color!

(yep)

The RA-5 descended to just above the water level, sweeping the area with its radar. "I've got no contacts so far," Feisler said, "how are you faring?"

"Don't get mushy on me," Bartlett called back, "and don't expect any autographs when we get back, either. Focus on getting back from this mission."

Feisler rolled his eyes. Typical Osean. Bartlett was only annoying him more every second. He only hoped his flying skills were better than his people skills. He switched his radio over as a transmission sounded from below.

"Osean and Verusean aircraft, this is New Henai Harbor. Thanks for helping us out today."
14
That sounds fine to me. Would you care to bring it in at the end of this mission?

9/10

And for some reason mine got vertically smooshed...

Eventually, yes. That's one of our final aircraft, however.

Tower: "Verusean forces, you have priority access for takeoff. Scramble immediately!"

Feisler felt the rumble ot the Vigilante's twin jets in the rear of the aircraft shaking him to the bone. Though his aircraft was old, it was still one of the fastest attackers out there. He hoped it would serve him well in the next few hours. Beside him, Captain Bartlett fell into formation in an F-14 Tomcat.

"New Henai is thirty minutes south of our position," Bartlett said, "run your weapons checks and get ready!"

18
"The aces? I know nothing about them," Feisler admitted, stepping outside and heading for his RA-5 Vigilante. "I just moved to the coast on orders a few weeks ago. As far as I know, these guys just came out of nowhere. "

"Aces, huh?" Bartlett said, "well, from my experience they're all alike. Egotistical and arrogant. You ever go up against 'em, you three will stand a chance."

Feisler nodded. "I hope so, sir. Now, how are we splitting ourselves up for this mission? I'll take my RA-5 with air to ground ordnance."
19
Bartlett nodded to Dark Hooves. "Glad you could make it. We're assembling for a launch in two hours. Our goal is to defend the island of New Henai from Sotoan forces."

Feisler furrowed his brow. "Makes sense. New Henai is Verusea's biggest import and transportation hub. It's small and industrial, and definitely something the 'Sotes will want."

A tall, gruff looking pilot entered the room, walking up to Feisler and Yagdra and shaking both their hands. "Good morning, pilots. I'm Captain Jack Bartlett. Command tells me you've got a mission lined up today?"

Feisler looked at Yagdra, confused. "Uh... we did?"

"Well, you do now. Come with me," Bartlett said, walking away. Shrugging, Feisler downed the rest of his coffee.

"Guess that means we're launching."
