February 3rd, 2017:
The trio were sitting in the recreation room playing a round of spades until a loud siren roared through out the base. James barged into the rec room with adrenaline at the max. They dropped the cards and sprinted to the flight line, Juan and Kim had their aircraft ready while Anthony's was nowhere to be found.
A Mercedes G Wagen soon appeared in Kesalian Army markings with James behind the wheel.
"GET IN KID WE GOTTA GO", James shouted. Without hesistation Anthony jumped into the vehicle and they drove to an F-16C.
Anthony hopped out and climbed the F-16's boarding ladder. He started the engine and scrambled.
"This is Voodoo. I'm airborne and combat effective, Razyr, Vixen Two where are you guys?"
Juan reached Anthony and Kim, following towards the incoming enemy squadron, some 45 J-20's and T-50's!
"Razyr, this is Stryker leader, requestiong permission to fly along!"
"Roger that, Stryker leader, great to have your help, guys!"
"This is Starlight leader, it's an honor, sir!", another pilot replied.
They were not alone in this battle: by the WePAC side, the Wyvernian Air Force squadrons Stryker and Starlight, from the Wyvernian Air Force: about 12 Eurofighter Typhoons in the former and 10 F-18E's in the latter.
"Alright, boys. Each takes a bandit! Let's show them that technical superiority is no match for human skill! Razyr, on the move for the kill!".
Soon 20 Prosperian F-35's and Kesalian F-22's appeared. "Hello! Do you mind if we tag along?", the Prosperian flight lead asked.
Anthony chuckled and responded back "The more the merrier my friends! Let's kick some Ruvanian ass!"

"It'll be one hell of a dogfight, for all future generations to remember! LET'S GO!", Juan launches a missile at a PAK-FA; directl hit, straight in the cockpit.
Anthony threw his F-16 into full power and met the enemy headon. He performed a high speed yo-yo and managed to get behind a J-20, he then fired the 20mm and laid waste to the Ruvanian fighter.

*AWACS crackles on the radio*
"All planes, the fighters were just decoys! Enemy bombers are approaching, TU-95's and TU-160's!"
Anthony growled and responded "Roger that AWACS, Juan i'm gonna go for the bomber's I might need your help, Kim stick with the WePAC fighters and help keep the bandits off of us"
"Roger that Voodoo!", Kim replies
"Right-o, brother!", Juan broke away from chasing a J-20, but not before firing a heat-seeker at its butt..."SPLASH! Now let's get these bombers!" He locked onto two Tu-95 and fired same amount of medium-range, radar guided missiles. "Come on, boys...make daddy proud!" Seconds pass...and then the two locked bogeys on the radar were gone. "Two down, fifteen to go!"
"Alright I got four radar guided missles and two heats...Voodoo FOX 3" Anthony fired an AIM-120 and splashed the second bomber. As the fight pressed on and more bombers were either splashed or damaged Anthony was out of AMRAAM's.
"Razyr, I've got some bad news, I'm out of radar guided missiles so it looks like i'm going to have to take the bombers up close. The TU-160's are fast but the TU-95's are a real problem thanks to their rear gunner."
Anthony moved to the blind side of an enemy bomber and fired a short burst of the 20mm at the engines. "He won't be getting far without those."
As the fight pressed on most of the bombers were either damaged or splashed with the survivors returning back to base provided that they weren't shot down when trying to flee. The trio soon landed back at the base and disembarked from their aircraft.
"I'll see you guys shortly, I gotta speak with James about something.", Anthony waved and walked off. As Anthony walked he saw his F-22 rise from the ground. He stared at the rising aircraft with a shocked expression.
"You like it kid? This is an idea the Air Force big wigs approved back in the 90's...an underground maintenance hangar. Your Raptor is fine and that F-16 you had was a loaner so hopefully you didn't put a scratch on it.", James said.
Anthony looked at James and laughed "Yeah, the Viper's fine. Glad to see my Raptor is all ready to go again."
James expression then changed to a serious one, "Yeah kid..this Raptor is gonna save your ass if you know what you're doing. Last I heard the Ruvanian squadrons have upgraded to a new form of fighter....If the rumors are true then you're in for a rude awakening."
