Ace Combat: Shadow War

Chapter 19: Battle of Tyler Island Part 5

3rd Person POV

"6 aircraft incoming!"

Remo's words entered my mind and everyone's and even Warfare swear he felt his heart skip a beat, Warfare looked all over and saw just like Remo said 6 aircraft approaching us at high speeds. "6 aircraft coming from the north" Warfare said and turned my jet in that direction, the rest followed him and eventually they would clash together in a climatic dogfight. "Is there anything anyone wants to say before we clash with them" Warfare asked and there was an uneasiness in his voice, Zilla sighed

"I just want to let you guys know; you are the greatest friends in whole wide world" he said.

"Hell, if we die, if was an honor and pleasure to be working with you fine people" Digital said, and Wolf laughed slightly "Yeah it was nice to be with you guys".

"I would like to say that working with you guys and repairing your planes was the honestly the most fun I've ever had in my life; I'll never forget the time we jammed out to music while customizing our planes" Star said.

"You guys covered for me when I joined the air force, and I couldn't be more thankful... thank you guys for everything" Peralta choked out.

"You know when I first met you guys, I didn't think it would work out cause for god sakes I'm 31 and you guys are way younger than me... then I got to know you all and I felt like I was home again" Remo said with the most sincerity the squadron have ever heard him say.

"When my kids are older, and they ask me what I did in the air force I'm going to tell them about you guys and how you made me laugh and cry at the same time and I'll tell them all the stories about us and how you guys made me feel at home" Somewhat said holding back tears.

"Um... meeting you guys in that hangar that night I honestly didn't think I'd get along with any of you but the more and more I spent around you guys, the more I began to feel like I had found myself a good family and... maybe a partner but who knows. But I thank you guys for taking me in and accepting me" Laura said, and the squadron raised eyebrows at the last part but didn't think too much of it right now.

Warfare's heart boomed as it was his turn to say something, "Uh... I love you guys and I didn't have much of a family growing up but when I first met you Zilla, you turned my life and then meeting you all of you... I felt complete and felt that I had found a family that will last forever. I don't know what I'd do if one of you die in this battle because I need you all to keep me going" Warfare finished, and he eyes teared up from possibly his last words today. He looked ahead and saw the jets getting closer and closer by the second. The Outcast readied themselves from possibly the hardest fight they'll ever experience, Warfare exhaled slowly and started counting.

Everyone fingers hovered the trigger and waited nervously for the time.

2

Each blink warfare made, he could see his past and one of them was the night he almost killed himself, the memory even today haunts and its haunting him at the worst possible moment.

The enemy was close enough and each from both sides opened fire on each other.

Warfare not thinking twice pulled back on the hard and the jet climbed quickly. He looked back and he could one of the sleek black SU-37 behind him, he did a post stall to get the drop on him, but these pilots were highly skilled in fact D00M taught all 5 of them personally. The SU-37 saw the post stall maneuver and rolled away from Warfare; in retaliation the SU-37 did his own post stall that caught by surprise, but the SU-37 missed all their shots. Elsewhere Zilla was taking on two SU-37s, he was struggling to shake them off or even find an open window to retaliate. But a surprise came.
