Oka Nieba: "Razgriz, that enemy aircraft carrier is still out there."

Blaze: "And we still don't have any dedicated anti-ship missiles..."

Mobius: "We can always go back to base to change planes, right?"

Edge: "The F-35 Lightning II can carry anti-ship missiles."

Blaze: "Yeah, that's nice and all, but really, we don't have to go that far. AGM-154 JSOW also comes with the ability to use a tandem charge warhead for penetrating attacks. Normally used for bunker busting, but should do just fine against a carrier."

Archer: "That works for me."

*The Ghosts Of Razgriz return to base in order to exchange their current SOD missiles for bunker buster missiles to attack the Ark Royal.*

Control Tower: "Alright, that should do it. Now you've got four weapons per craft. We had to upload a software mod to your planes' fire control systems."

Blaze: "This'll do nicely. We'll take care of that carrier in short order. Let's go, Razgriz! They won't wait for us."

Oka Nieba: "Alright, I've got the coordinates of the enemy ship. Fire anti-ship cruise missile when ready."

Blaze: "Anti-ship missile in three, two, one, fire!" *launches missile from 300 miles out*

Blaze: "Evasive maneuvers!"

*The Razgriz evade the enemy missiles, though not quite as easily as before.*

Blaze: "It's just one plane! We can take this guy!"

Mobius: "Very skilled, yes, but not as good as you or I, Blaze." *comes around on the Typhoon's six* "Fox Two, Fox Two!"

Swordsman: "Swordsman, Fox Three!"

Blaze: "What the hell? Snow, I thought you retired!"

Swordsman: "My wife convinced me to get back at it."

Blaze: "Well, it's certainly nice to have you back, old man!"

Heartbreak One: "He's not the only one coming out of retirement."

Archer: "Captain Bartlett?"

Heartbreak One: "Heartbreak One, Fox Three!"

*Captains Bartlett and Snow arrive in identically painted, identically armed F-22A Raptors, just like those of the Razgriz. However, Bartlett's has the Ace of Hearts image he had on his F-4 back before he was shot down by Yuktobania.*

I really wanted to have Bartlett show up at some point, so what better to do than drag Snow back out and have him bring Heartbreak One with him?

As the incoming missiles are detected, the Sea Cat launchers on Ark Royal's deck are activated and start firing to intercept the bunker-busters.

Sea Cat launchers were originally to be fitted during Ark Royal's major refit, but in reality, they were never installed. I will assume they're there, otherwise I really am Point Defenceless.

The fact that Swordsman and Heartbreak One came on a completely different attack axis had you fly from one to the other, didn't it? Sorry.

*Swordsman and Heartbreak One form up with the Ghosts of Razgriz.*

Heartbreak One: "I see Edge is still alive."

Edge: "Between my vow to never lose another flight lead and my desire to join Mobius Squadron, I have very good reasons to be as careful as possible."

Heartbreak One: "And Grimm is still with you."

Archer: "Yes sir. I know I stole your plane back when Sand Island was hit, and I'm sorry I did that."

Heartbreak One: "I hear you've been apologizing for a lot lately."

Archer: "Yes sir."

Heartbreak One: "Hey, Kid, I heard you're in love!"

Blaze: "*sigh* Had to mention it..."

Heartbreak One: "Hey, there's no shame in it. Nagase looks real nice and is very devoted to you. You should be glad you've got someone like her on your wing."

Blaze: "Thank you, sir."

Heartbreak One: "Well I'll be. It's the famous Mobius One. I heard Nagase was motivated to join the air force because of you."

Mobius One: "Did you know that I am the brother of Major Nastasya Vasilievna Obertas?"

Heartbreak One: "Hell no! You serious?"

Mobius One: "Yes. I'm sorry I wasn't able to aid your escape with Nikanor."

Heartbreak One: "That's alright, Mobius."

*The now six-strong Ghosts Of Razgriz change course to engage the Ark Royal.*

Mobius One: "*laughs* F-4s? *laughs some more*"

Blaze: "I could down twelve Phantoms alone! Without QAAMs!"

Edge: "Target rich environment. And they're all relatively low grade aircraft. If anyone has a problem, you're out of the squadron."

Archer: "That's harsh, Edge!"

Swordsman: "Seriously, we're in Raptors here. If we have problems with these guys, it's our fault."

*The Ghosts Of Razgriz are unfazed. They engage the enemy relying almost entirely on instinct. They open with a barrage of AMRAAMs.*

Each Phantom launches two Sidewinders and breaks away rapidly, diving close to the sea to try and hide their radar signature as best as possible. Some make it, some don't.

*The Ghosts Of Razgriz easily evade the outdated AIM-9Ms.*

Blaze: "Those were just AIM-9Ms? Ha!"

Mobius One: "They're diving. They must be afraid."

Swordsman: "Roll in and attack!"

*The Ghosts Of Razgriz follow the Phantoms' every move. The Razgriz know that they are flying the superior airplane, but they still fly relatively cautiously.*

Heartbreak One: "Heartbreak One, Fox Two!"

Edge: "Edge, Fox Two."

Blaze: "Blaze, Fox Two!"

The Sea Cat launchers on board the carrier open fire in an attempt to assist the Phantoms, which are still flying as low as they can to avoid missiles.

Blaze: "Whoa. That carrier's got teeth of its own!"

Edge: "You mean to tell me you can't weave through SAMs and still engage your targets, Blaze?"

Blaze: "Oh. Now it's on, Edge!"

Mobius: "Hey, if you two are going for kill counts, I'm in!"

Archer: "Oh, Crap!..."

Heartbreak One: "Speaking for the enemy there, Grimm?"

Archer: "Uh, no sir! Not at all, sir!"

*The Ghosts Of Razgriz are able to out-maneuver the Sea Cat missiles and take down a couple more of the Phantoms.*

The remaining Phantoms attempt to escape in a high-speed sprint, engaging full afterburner, while the carrier continues to fire Sea Cats.

And with that, Good Night! Feel free to shoot me to bits, I'm planning on getting a new avatar anyway.

Blaze: "There they go! They think they can run!"

Mobius: "Run them down, then blast that carrier!"

Heartbreak One: "With pleasure!"

*The Ghosts Of Razgriz throttle up and easily outpace the Phantoms. They all have the delicate throttle control to keep from overshooting.*

Blaze: "Blaze, Fox Two!"

Swordsman: "Swordsman, Fox Two!"

Edge: "Edge, Fox Two!"

*The remaining Phantoms are wiped out, one by one. Then the Razgriz turn their attention to the Ark Royal.*

Blaze: "Let's overwhelm their anti-missile systems this time. Everyone, fire anti-ship missile on my mark."

Heartbreak One: "Heartbreak One, ready to fire."

Swordsman: "Swordsman, ready to fire."

Edge: "Edge, ready to fire."

Archer: "Archer, prepared to fire."

Mobius: "Mobius One, missiles ready."

Blaze: "Three, two, one, FIRE!"

*The Ghosts Of Razgriz unleash a full barrage of twelve anti-ship missiles on the Ark Royal. Five direct hits are scored, and the ship sinks.*

Oka Nieba: "Nice work, Razgriz. I am just as surprised as you are that Snow and Bartlett arrived, but that just made you all that much stronger."

Blaze: "Yeah. Let's head home."

Edge: "No need to ask twice."

*The Razgriz return to base and land.*

Ah, that's better. New, sharper avatar.

Sorry about that. I'm debating whether I want to change avatars or not. In the meantime...

*At the Osean airbase, Kei Nagase and "Blaze" had come to terms with their feelings toward each other, and things were now accelerating.*

Blaze: "I just want you to know, if you feel uncomfortable speaking about something, tell me and I'll stop."

Nagase: "No, it's fine. Like I said, it getting let out let me see what it truly was. I have to thank Captain Snow for that, even if he wasn't there in person."

Blaze: "Then you won't mind me asking you this, will you?"

Nagase: "Asking me what?"

Blaze: *produces a small box and opens it, revealing a diamond ring* "Will you marry me?"

Nagase: "Oh, that." *nearly faints* "I... Yes." *takes the ring*

Blaze: "*sigh* Now that that's out of the way, how much longer do you feel comfortable staying in the military?"

Nagase: "I don't know. As long as they need us, I guess. It's not like we really have as much to do anymore..."

Blaze: "We could go fully over to ISAF."

Nagase: "They're not seeing as much action anymore either. But I have heard..."

Blaze: "Heard what?"

Nagase: "About Estovakia. That's where most of the damage from Ulysses 1994XF04 was. I hear they're in civil war, and that their neighbors Emmeria are very worried."

Blaze: "Who do you suggest we side with?"

Nagase: "Emmeria, if only because they seem so similar to Osea."

Blaze: "Fine by me. You want me to tell the rest?"

Nagase: "Yes. About all of it."

Blaze: "You got it."

*Blaze rounds up the rest of the squadron.*

Blaze: "Two important announcements, guys. I'll start with the one more important to the rest of you: our jobs. Nagase and I were first thinking of going over to ISAF with Mobius, but then decided on a different course of action: Going over to the Republic Of Emmeria, on the continent of Anea. Nagase has heard that Estovakia is in civil war and that the Emmerians are very concerned about their neighbors. We may have decent job security over there."

Bartlett: "I understand, but why can't we do that through ISAF?"

Blaze: "ISAF may not want to get involved."

Mobius: "Yeah, I doubt they would."

Nagase: "In addition, we don't think Osea really has much of a need for us anymore, not after the final defeat of Belka. As such, we may not have a real military for much longer."

Grimm: "How long's the flight?"

Blaze: "We're not sure. We'd have to go at the pace of a 767 anyways, just so we can take Sky Eye with us."

Snow: "That sounds like it could take some time."

Blaze: "It will, I'm sure. That said, we could make it a three-stopper, landing once at Sand Island just to check up on the place, then again in Yuktobania to rest after crossing over to their territory."

Bartlett: "Now that sounds more reasonable. What are we waiting for?"

Blaze: "I did say two announcements, if I recall."

Grimm: "Yes, you did. I take it this is more... personal?"

Nagase: "Yes." *holds out her hand*

Bartlett: "Is that..."

Snow: "No, that can't be..."

Grimm: "You proposed to her?"

Mobius: "Congratulations."

Blaze: "Now, I'll tell the base commander. When I get back, we'll head out."

Grimm: "Got it."

*After telling the base commander of their plans, Blaze and co. prepare for their second to last takeoff from Osean turf.*

Blaze: "So, how are you feeling, Kei?"

Nagase: "I'm not sure. That was just so sudden, so unexpected..."

Blaze: "I just couldn't wait anymore. Everyone's been teasing me about it since Snow, through Grimm, let it out."

Nagase: "I've been getting the same thing. Now, are we going to leave here or what?"

Blaze: "Ah, yes. Sorry about that."

*The Razgriz climb into their planes, and prepare for the long journey ahead.*

Control Tower: "It'll be a shame to see you guys leave, Razgriz, but at least you'll still have jobs. Take off."

Blaze: "Goodbye. I'm gonna miss this place..."

Control Tower: "You'll be missed, but you always have seemed happiest in the skies. Well, unless you're with Nagase."

Nagase: "Speaking of which..."

Blaze: "Oh, yeah. You did hear, right?"

Control Tower: "Oh yeah. Best wishes to both of you! I hope your marriage is long and happy! Best of luck in Emmeria, Razgriz!"

*The six Ghosts Of Razgriz, accompanied by AWACS Oka Nieba, take off across Osea, and fly west towards Sand Island.*
